Seeing Vegeta gradually being controlled, Supreme Kai panicked.
He could only do everything he could to persuade Vegeta to guard his mind.
"Mr. Vegeta, Babidi is trying to use the evil in your heart! Concentrate! Do not think about anything!"
While roaring, Vegeta cursed, "Sh-shut up! Do not order me around!"
Vegeta's vicious expression frightened Supreme Kai so badly that he hurriedly took a step back.
Piccolo urged him, "Supreme Kai, hurry and leave with me. We can leave this place to Goku!"
Babidi laughed. "Very good, very good! He is already in the palm of my hand. Hehehehe…
"Next, I shall draw out the potential inside your body that surpasses your limits!"
Vegeta's aura began rising rapidly. At the same time, a large letter "M" appeared on his forehead.
The next moment, he threw his head back and let out a long roar. The pained expression from moments ago vanished, replaced by a face full of evil excitement.
Babidi was ecstatic. "Perfect! Too perfect! This power is more than ten times stronger than Dabura's!"
He raised a withered finger and ordered, "Now, my servant, prove your loyalty to me. Kill Supreme Kai!"
Vegeta's body suddenly turned toward Babidi, his killing intent pressing down like something tangible.
Vegeta shouted angrily, "You ugly freak! You actually dared… try to control me?!"
Babidi retreated in terror. "I-impossible! My magic clearly took effect!"
The panicked Babidi cast his control magic again, trying to make Vegeta obey his command.
However, his actions only enraged Vegeta even more. He pointed at Babidi and roared, "Ugly freak, stop babbling over there! The only one who can fight me is Kakarot!"
Babidi was startled. "W-what is going on with this guy? He is actually not under my control?"
Seeing that Vegeta had been turned into a Majin yet still was not being controlled, Supreme Kai was overjoyed.
"I-incredible. Vegeta can actually resist Babidi's evil magic…"
Son Goku said, "That's only natural. He is the proud Vegeta, after all.
"His will is not that easy to crush…
"Supreme Kai, hurry and leave with Piccolo. Don't stay here and disturb us!"
After saying that, Son Goku walked opposite Vegeta and took his starting stance.
An excited smile appeared at the corner of Vegeta's mouth as he also took his stance. The battle was about to begin.
Supreme Kai Shin was shocked and immediately tried to persuade them. "Stop! If you fight here, you will fall right into Babidi's trap!
"Once the energy is absorbed, Majin Buu will definitely be revived!"
Vegeta pointed at Supreme Kai with one hand and roared, "Shut up! If you interfere with my battle against Kakarot again, I will kill you!"
Supreme Kai braced himself and spread his arms.
"Even if you kill me, I cannot allow you to fight. Otherwise…"
Vegeta's patience was exhausted. He roared, "You're asking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta fired a Ki blast at Supreme Kai.
Supreme Kai's pupils instantly widened. That violent energy blast grew larger and larger in his eyes.
"No…"
Kibito, standing at the side, turned pale with shock.
In that instant, Son Goku flashed in front of Supreme Kai and knocked Vegeta's Ki blast away with a knife-hand strike.
The Ki blast landed on the ground and exploded instantly.
The earth within a radius of several hundred meters was blown into a basin, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky…
Cold sweat instantly appeared on Supreme Kai's forehead.
Son Goku could not be bothered to be polite with him either. He directly struck him with a knife-hand blow, and Supreme Kai fainted.
Kibito said in horror, "Son Goku, what are you doing…"
"Relax. He was only knocked out. He won't die."
After saying that, Son Goku looked at Piccolo. "Piccolo, hurry and take him away!"
Piccolo nodded and left with the unconscious Supreme Kai.
Kibito glanced at the two Saiyans facing each other, his expression conflicted, then followed Piccolo away.
Vegeta and Goku stood several meters apart, locked in a standoff. Their auras distorted the space around them.
Purple-gold energy wrapped around Vegeta's body, and the "M" mark on his forehead flickered with an evil light.
Goku, meanwhile, maintained a pure golden aura. His blue martial arts gi snapped loudly in the energy storm.
"Seven years, Kakarot."
Vegeta's voice was low and dangerous.
"For these seven years, I have trained under three hundred times gravity every day until I spat blood, all for the day I would surpass you!"
Goku's eyes sharpened, and he nodded. "I know. But you should not have accepted Babidi's power."
"Shut up!"
Vegeta suddenly roared, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a boom.
"I will use absolute power to prove that the dignity of the Saiyan prince cannot be trampled on!"
Before his words even finished, Vegeta's figure had vanished.
Goku's pupils shrank, and he instinctively raised his arm to block.
Boom!!!
Amid a deafening explosion, Goku was sent flying backward by the punch, smashing through three mountains in succession before barely stabilizing himself.
He shook his numb arm, but an excited curve rose at the corner of his mouth.
"Amazing. This power isn't bad!"
"This is only the beginning!"
Vegeta crossed his hands in front of his chest, and golden energy gathered madly.
The energy condensed into a dazzling golden sphere, with purple lightning jumping across its surface.
"Take this! Big Bang Attack!"
The improved Ki blast howled out. Wherever it passed, the air ionized, and the ground was plowed into a trench dozens of meters deep.
Goku did not dare be careless. He quickly brought his hands together.
"Kamehame—ha!"
A blue-white torrent of energy collided with the purple-gold sphere in midair.
Boom!!!
The shockwave from the collision spread outward in a spherical shape, instantly vaporizing all rocks within a five-kilometer radius.
Piccolo, watching the battle from ten kilometers away, had no choice but to open a protective barrier to shield the unconscious Supreme Kai.
Gritting his teeth as he resisted the incoming heat wave, Piccolo cursed, "Those two lunatics! Are they trying to smash the entire Earth apart?"
At the center of the explosion, two golden figures crossed like bolts of lightning.
The sounds of fists and feet colliding connected into a continuous roar, with hundreds of exchanges every second.
Vegeta swept a whip-like kick toward Goku's temple. After it was blocked, he immediately changed his move, smashing his elbow viciously toward Goku's collarbone.
Crack!
The clear sound of impact rang out sharply.
Goku let out a muffled groan, but he used the instant clarity brought by the pain to seize Vegeta's opening and drove a knee into his abdomen.
Vegeta spat out a mouthful of acid, then grabbed Goku's hair with his backhand and slammed him viciously toward the ground.
Boom!
A crater one hundred meters in diameter appeared on the ground.
Goku lay at the bottom of the pit, then suddenly laughed.
"That was great! This is a real battle!"
Vegeta floated in the air above, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Stop pretending, Kakarot!
"Why are you always one step ahead?
"You were a low-class warrior on Earth! What gives you the right to be stronger than me, a pure-blooded prince?"
Goku sprang up with a kip-up, his eyes becoming serious.
"If I were you, I might not necessarily work harder than you, but I do not agree with your ideals.
"Although I also pursue strength, my strength is for protecting others, and for living a better life…
"But you are simply pursuing strength for its own sake.
"That is why your strength has a limit…"
"Ridiculous!"
Vegeta flew into a rage, and his aura surged again.
"Since you say my strength has a limit, then I will let you witness my power!"
Vegeta roared. Golden energy formed a hurricane around him. His hair stood up even more sharply, and the density of the lightning around him increased several times over.
Goku was surprised to discover that the "M" mark on Vegeta's forehead was merging with his golden aura.
"Not good! He is adapting to Babidi's energy!"
Piccolo cried out from the distance.
Vegeta revealed a ferocious smile. "Can you feel it, Kakarot? This is true power!"
He instantly appeared in front of Goku, so fast he did not even leave an afterimage.
A straight punch blasted toward Goku's face. Goku barely tilted his head to avoid it, but the wind from the fist still cut a bloody mark across his cheek.
Vegeta seized the chance to grab Goku's wrist and threw him over his shoulder, smashing him toward the ground.
Immediately afterward, he gathered an energy sphere in both hands and hurled it straight at Goku's face.
At the critical moment, Goku suddenly vanished.
The small energy sphere blasted a bottomless pit into the earth, and lava surged up from underground.
"Instant Transmission?"
Vegeta abruptly turned around, just in time to meet a flying kick from Goku as he emerged from another space.
Bang!
Vegeta was kicked thousands of meters away, smashing through more than a dozen mountains before finally stopping.
He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and the fighting intent in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Now this is interesting. It really has to be you, Kakarot!"
The two charged at each other again. The shockwaves from their fists and feet constantly reshaped the terrain.
The aftershocks of their battle even affected cities hundreds of kilometers away, with seismographs recording continuous violent tremors.
Vegeta caught one of Goku's openings, clamped both hands onto his shoulders, and drove his knee repeatedly into his abdomen.
Goku coughed up blood, but took the opportunity to grab Vegeta's head and smashed a headbutt into Vegeta's large forehead.
"Gah!"
Blood sprayed from Vegeta's nose, and he temporarily loosened his grip.
But in the next round, an even more intense battle erupted once again.
…
Babidi hid behind the wreckage of the spaceship, the numbers on the energy detector in his hand jumping wildly.
"Wonderful! Such intense energy fluctuations are enough to awaken Buu ahead of time!"
He looked toward the huge pink egg in the distance. Together with the energy previously absorbed from Gohan, the energy counter connected to the eggshell instantly soared to its limit.
Babidi was startled.
"It filled up in just a few minutes?"
"Majin Buu is finally going to revive!"
Babidi excitedly chanted the incantation. In an instant, Majin Buu's egg erupted with pink mist.
However, when the eggshell opened, it was empty. Babidi froze on the spot.
"What is going on?"
"This should not be happening. How could it be like this?"
"Come out! Hurry and come out, Majin Buu!"
Above the giant egg, a mass of pink mist gathered.
Soon, that mist condensed together and transformed into a fat pink man.
Seeing that comical appearance, Babidi froze.
Then his face suddenly filled with ecstasy.
"Hey! Majin Buu! I am Babidi, the son of your creator, Bibidi!
"I am the one who revived you!
"From today onward, I am your master!"
Majin Buu turned his head away like a child, looking as if he had no intention of paying him any attention.
Babidi shouted, "Hey, Majin Buu! What are you doing? Hurry up and greet me!"
