Supreme Kai and Kibito chased after them first.
A short while later, Son Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo followed as well.
Seeing the three of them arrive, Supreme Kai glanced at Son Goku while flying and said, "You really did come!
"To be honest, against Babidi, without your power, we may not be able to win…"
Son Goku did not stand on ceremony at all and said bluntly, "After we run into Babidi later, you and Kibito should use Instant Transmission and leave.
"To deal with Majin Buu, the three of us should be enough."
"What do you mean, the three of you should be enough?"
Supreme Kai was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
After all, he was not trying to deal with Majin Buu. He was trying to stop Majin Buu from being born.
Majin Buu was the nightmare in his heart. He did not believe the Saiyans could defeat Majin Buu.
Kibito immediately rebuked him. "Nonsense! What kind of joke are you making?
"Do you even know what kind of enemy you will face if we fail to stop Babidi?
"That is the terrifying Majin Buu!"
Hearing Kibito exaggerate Majin Buu to such a degree, Vegeta's gaze sharpened.
He asked, "You said Majin Buu. What is that?
"If he is so powerful, why have I never even heard of him after all these years…"
Although Goku roughly knew Buu's origins, Vegeta and Piccolo had never heard of him.
So he simply did not interrupt and let the two of them explain things to Vegeta and Piccolo.
Supreme Kai explained, "Of course you have never heard of him!
"His origins are ancient. So ancient that they predate human history.
"Hundreds of millions of years ago, when humans had only just begun walking on two feet, there was an evil wizard named Bibidi. Majin Buu was the monster he exhausted all his efforts to create."
Even though Vegeta was now extremely powerful, when he heard that this was a monster from before human history, he was still taken aback.
"A monster born hundreds of millions of years ago?"
"Yes!"
Supreme Kai nodded, his expression heavy as he explained, "Majin Buu has no reason or emotion. He only knows destruction and slaughter. He is a monster born purely to make all living beings tremble in fear.
"In just a few short centuries, he turned hundreds of planets into dead stars."
Vegeta snorted coldly. "Hmph. If we are talking about destroying planets, we Saiyans can do that too. Easily!"
Supreme Kai shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Mr. Vegeta!
"At that time, there were five Supreme Kais. Each one of them was a master capable of defeating someone like Frieza with a single blow.
"And when they joined forces against Majin Buu, four of them were killed by him."
"What!"
Seeing Vegeta finally reveal an astonished expression, Supreme Kai continued, "Majin Buu's power was so great that even his creator, Bibidi, was helpless against him.
"Whenever it was necessary for him to rest, Bibidi would seal Majin Buu away, rendering him unable to move."
Kibito added, "Later, Bibidi brought the sealed Majin Buu to Earth.
"But Supreme Kai had been watching Bibidi all along, and he seized that exact opportunity. Before Majin Buu could be unsealed, he killed Bibidi.
"Because he considered that it would be best not to give the egg sealing Majin Buu any unnecessary stimulation and risk awakening him, Lord Supreme Kai has been watching over Earth all this time.
"All these years, he has protected it and ensured it was never destroyed.
"After all, the only one who could undo the seal was the evil wizard Bibidi.
"With him dead, Majin Buu's egg should have remained sealed forever.
"However, not long ago, we discovered something terrible.
"That evil wizard actually had a son. He is Babidi, a wizard with the same evil heart as his father.
"And recently, he came to Earth!"
Piccolo's gaze grew serious. "In other words, Majin Buu must absolutely not be allowed to awaken, correct?"
Supreme Kai nodded. "Exactly!
"And Babidi must be killed without disturbing Majin Buu's egg."
Vegeta nodded. "I see."
Son Goku was a little surprised and asked, "So Majin Buu's egg has been on Earth this whole time? I never knew…"
Supreme Kai nodded. "Yes. Majin Buu's egg has always been on Earth, and it was actually quite reassuring.
"After all, in ancient times, humans had only just learned to walk on two feet, and even a few hundred years ago, they had only developed into an agricultural civilization.
"With such low-level technology, they could not possibly touch Majin Buu's egg.
"It was only recently, after a strong warrior like you appeared on Earth, that I began paying closer attention…"
Son Goku looked at Supreme Kai seriously.
No wonder he governed the vast Seventh Universe, yet cared so much about Earth.
Now everything had an answer…
At that moment, Piccolo vaguely formed a few guesses, though he was not certain.
But he found Supreme Kai quite easy to talk to, so he asked directly, "Then what were Spopovich and Yamu doing by entering the tournament and absorbing Gohan's energy?"
Kibito also answered directly, "In order to awaken Majin Buu after his long sleep, a tremendous amount of untainted energy is required.
"Babidi judged that he could find many people carrying pure energy at the tournament, so he sent those two.
"And the energy Gohan released when he transformed into a Super Saiyan was precisely the energy they desperately desired."
Piccolo and Vegeta completely understood.
Piccolo said, "I see. So in order to let them return and deliver the energy, you used Gohan's power as bait just now."
Supreme Kai nodded. "Yes!
"We wanted to know Babidi's location, and we also wanted to know where he had taken Majin Buu's egg.
"That is why we deliberately gave them the energy they wanted.
"Only then would they return to report back as quickly as possible, making it easier for us to follow them."
"Is he really that powerful?"
Vegeta developed a trace of interest in Majin Buu.
He looked at Son Goku and asked, "Kakarot, do you want to witness Majin Buu's power?"
Son Goku looked at Vegeta and smiled. "What? Are you that confident in your own strength now?"
Vegeta clenched his fist and said, "That's right. The me of today is far stronger than Cell was seven years ago!
"I want to see just how strong this rumored Majin Buu really is."
Hearing Vegeta's words, Son Goku actually hesitated a little.
Although based on his current strength, he should more or less be able to defeat him.
Even if he could not, if he brought out his trump card and transformed into a Super Saiyan God, killing him would definitely not be a problem.
But Majin Buu was different from other enemies. This guy did not follow logic at all.
If, like in the original story, his pure part separated and destroyed Earth first, then his entire family would be wiped out.
For him to take the initiative to release Buu, he was still somewhat unwilling.
Seeing Son Goku hesitate, Vegeta asked again, "What do you say, Kakarot? Don't tell me you're afraid?"
At that moment, a long-lost system message flashed through Goku's mind.
[In your previous life, after you and Cell died together, you decided not to interfere with the living world anymore and entrusted this world's future to the children.
Unfortunately, in the end, none of them managed to eliminate Majin Buu.
As a result, Earth was also blown up by Kid Buu, and your entire family died once.
In the end, you still had to personally take action.
However, even after using every trick you had, you still could not truly defeat Kid Buu with your own power.
In the end, you used the Spirit Bomb gathered by everyone to kill him.
But your battle with Majin Buu left you unsatisfied.
After victory, you still wanted to fight Majin Buu again in a truly satisfying battle.
So you went to the Underworld and specifically asked King Yemma to reincarnate him as a good person…
Your life has restarted.
In this life, you are stronger than you were in your previous life. At last, you can fight him with your own strength.
Mission: Defeat complete Fat Majin Buu with your own power.
Before Majin Buu is defeated, Earth's core will generate a powerful defensive barrier capable of withstanding three fatal attacks.
There is no reward for victory in this mission, and no penalty for failure.
Fight. For the you of your previous life, a thrilling battle to your heart's content was the reward you dreamed of most!]
Seeing that even Earth now had protection, fighting spirit appeared in Son Goku's eyes.
He looked at Vegeta and smiled. "As fellow Saiyans, of course we look forward to powerful opponents.
"However, I advise you not to point your thumb at yourself!"
Seeing Son Goku's smile, Vegeta flew into a rage. "Damn it, Kakarot! What are you saying? Do you have a death wish?"
Hearing Son Goku and Vegeta speak in such relaxed tones, cold sweat could not help seeping from Supreme Kai's forehead.
He was so frightened that even his voice trembled slightly as he said gravely, "You… stop joking around.
"You do not understand Majin Buu's terror at all!
"He is a monster even four Supreme Kais could not stand against!"
Seeing that both of them were bristling, Son Goku immediately smiled and said, "You two don't need to be so nervous either.
"Based on what I can sense, our current strength should be quite a bit greater than the Supreme Kais from back then, right?"
Vegeta calmly snorted. "Hmph. Kakarot is right. He is just some ancient monster.
"If he really revives, that will be perfect. I can see him for myself."
"You—!"
Kibito's face turned pale with anger as he shouted, "You are simply ignorant of the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth!
"Lord Supreme Kai, we should rely on ourselves to stop Babidi. We cannot count on these arrogant fools!"
Supreme Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded. "Y-yes… the urgent priority right now is to stop Majin Buu from awakening.
"Once he revives, the entire universe will fall into a crisis of destruction!"
Piccolo looked at Supreme Kai's terrified state and frowned. "Aren't you being far too nervous?
"Even if Majin Buu really revives, with Goku and Vegeta here, it is not certain we cannot defeat him!"
Supreme Kai shouted emotionally, "No! You do not understand!
"The reason you are not afraid of him is because you have never seen that terrifying face…"
At that moment, the two brothers, Spopovich and Yamu, suddenly landed.
Kibito immediately said, "Lord Supreme Kai, look at the terrain.
"We seem to have searched this place before. It clearly was not here…"
Supreme Kai said, "Everyone, hide quickly. We cannot let Babidi discover that we followed them…"
Everyone lowered their Ki one after another and hid in the shadows.
After Spopovich and Yamu landed, a large spaceship suddenly emerged from beneath the ground.
Kibito was startled.
"Damn it. So Babidi hid the spaceship underground. That is why we could not find it…"
Son Goku said, "Actually, Babidi should already know that you came to Earth. Otherwise, he would not have needed to hide the spaceship."
Piccolo looked at Supreme Kai and suggested, "Before they use the energy from Gohan's body, why don't we attack now and blow up the spaceship along with them?"
"No!"
Supreme Kai quickly interrupted him. "If that causes Majin Buu's egg to explode and releases him, things will be terrible…
"And once Babidi dies, there will be no one left who can seal Majin Buu away.
"Let us observe a little more carefully. Do not be hasty."
Vegeta sensed Supreme Kai's fear, and his heart filled with endless contempt.
Of course, even more than that, he felt anticipation and curiosity.
Just what kind of monster was it that could frighten Supreme Kai to this extent?
