"Bang!"
Vegeta finally knocked Majin Buu to the ground.
Buu's body skidded across the earth, leaving a long trail on the ground.
However, Buu soon leaped up. Although his body was covered in fist marks from the beating, he smiled and restored himself to his normal state.
But in the next moment, Buu found it hard to keep smiling.
Blue flames erupted wildly from all over Vegeta's body, and a streak of blue light shot toward him at incredible speed.
"Boom!"
The blue flames directly pierced through Buu's body.
Buu tumbled in the air and crashed to the ground, smoke rising from his body.
"Is he dead?" Krillin was stunned. "Is it over already? Vegeta is amazing!"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta felt a bit conflicted.
Why does this scene feel so familiar?
Then he remembered!
In his previous life, he had fought Majin Buu just like this.
The difference was that in his previous life, he used the Super Saiyan 2 transformation.
In this life, he was using Super Saiyan Blue.
The same plot... just with a different color, playing out all over again?
Sure enough, Buu climbed up from the ground as if it were nothing.
"Pop!"
Using his powerful regenerative abilities, Buu restored his body.
"That hurt a bit just now!" Several veins popped on Buu's forehead.
"Just like before, it seems ordinary attacks are useless against you!" Vegeta snorted, a slight smirk appearing on his lips.
"You... I'm going to kill you!" As Buu spoke, a massive surge of energy suddenly erupted from his body.
The energy radiated wildly outward with Buu at the center.
Vegeta, being close to Buu, was instantly alarmed, his pupils shrinking.
Goku's expression also changed repeatedly.
Fortunately, Goku already knew the plot. He quickly appeared beside Piccolo and the others, leading everyone in an Instant Transmission.
"Supreme Kai, what are you dazing there for? Quickly use Instant Transmission to get away," Goku called out to the Supreme Kai nearby.
The Supreme Kai finally snapped out of it and hurriedly used Instant Transmission with Kibito to leave.
"Boom!"
The massive energy erupting from Buu left a large crater in the area.
Buu hovered directly above the crater, his smile growing even brighter.
Vegeta clutched his arm, grimacing in pain; he was already injured.
"This bastard! He really is much stronger than before!" Vegeta gritted his teeth, feeling a bit bitter.
I've already turned Super Saiyan Blue, and I still got injured by Majin Buu's explosion?
Just how much energy has this guy absorbed?
Wait, I remember now!
Back then, Cell had self-destructed!
The energy lost from that self-destruction was probably all absorbed by Majin Buu, wasn't it?
Is that why he's so strong now?
And that's not all.
Kakarot also fought Cell. Although he wasn't badly hurt, he did take some damage.
And then there's Gohan...
So most of Buu's current strength is equivalent to having absorbed Cell's energy?
No wonder he's so strong!
"Thud!"
Buu grinned and slowly landed beside Vegeta.
Vegeta took a deep breath.
"Vegeta, do you want me to step in?" Goku called out from a distance.
"Shut up, Kakarot," Vegeta barked irritably. "Do you think I've already lost to this guy?"
"Vegeta, do you have a new transformation?" Goku scratched his head, his eyes lighting up.
"Hmph, just watch!" Vegeta's smirk widened, his smile becoming more radiant.
"Hey, you're finished!" Buu wagged a finger at Vegeta.
"Do you really think I've already lost to you, Majin Buu!" Vegeta sneered.
"Oh?" Buu was slightly taken aback.
"Pop!"
Thicker, more intense blue flames instantly erupted from all over Vegeta's body.
Goku's eyes widened as he watched Vegeta's new transformation with curiosity.
"Is this Uncle Vegeta's new transformation?" Gohan was also incredibly surprised.
"The color has deepened!" Piccolo mused.
"Yeah, it's a much deeper blue than before," Krillin nodded.
"If the color is deeper, does that mean his strength increases too?" Videl asked curiously.
"Maybe," Gohan wasn't entirely sure.
After all, Vegeta was currently using divine power.
None of the others present, including Goku, could sense the strength of divine power.
"Vegeta, the color has become so deep. What should this transformation be called?" Goku scratched his head, asking gossipingly, "Super Saiyan Blue Plus Blue?"
Vegeta's face instantly turned black.
What the hell is "Super Saiyan Blue Plus Blue"!
"This is called Super Saiyan Royal Blue!" Vegeta took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Goku.
"I see, so it's simply named after the color," Goku realized, then asked somewhat oddly, "Then why isn't Super Saiyan God called Super Saiyan Red?"
"Get lost, Kakarot! Shut up!" Vegeta was beyond annoyed.
Goku covered his mouth.
"Old Son, if you're going to put it that way, Broly's transformation should be called Super Saiyan Green," Piccolo laughed.
"I think Super Saiyan Green sounds pretty good," Goku chuckled. "The name 'Legendary Super Saiyan' is too long... 'Super Saiyan Green' is only four words, while 'Legendary Super Saiyan' is six."
Piccolo: "..."
Is this a matter of the length of the name?
"My Super Saiyan 4 is much simpler," Goku grinned. "See, from Super Saiyan 2, 3, then to 4, it's very easy to remember."
Piccolo covered his face, choosing not to speak.
Mainly because Goku's logic was so sound that Piccolo didn't know how to refute it.
Vegeta was trembling with rage.
Buu, however, didn't care what color Vegeta had turned. He directly tore a piece of flesh from his belly and pulled it into a long strip.
Vegeta: "..."
I know this scene.
I've been through this in my previous life.
Do you think I'll fall for it again this time?
"Puff!"
Buu opened his mouth and spat out an energy blast.
The energy blast shot toward Vegeta at extreme speed.
Vegeta snorted coldly and directly took to the air.
"Whoosh!"
Buu flicked his wrist, sending the flesh strip coiling toward Vegeta.
Looking at the rapidly approaching flesh strip, Vegeta wasn't flustered at all. With a cold expression, he raised a hand and uttered two words: "Hakai!"
Purple-red destruction energy instantly acted upon the flesh strip.
The incoming flesh strip was completely annihilated by Vegeta's destruction energy.
Buu's eyes widened in shock.
At this moment, Buu clearly felt that he had completely lost contact with that flesh strip.
"What? The same trick won't work on me twice!" Vegeta smiled slightly, a smirk playing on his lips.
Buu: "????"
Buu was momentarily dazed.
The same trick?
When have I ever used this trick on you?
But that didn't matter.
Buu wasn't worried at all. He grabbed his belly again and tore off another piece of flesh.
"Still want to play the same old game?" Vegeta snorted.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Ignoring Vegeta, Buu pulled the flesh strip long, folded it, pulled it again, and repeated the process.
"Hey, Gohan, is he making ramen?" Videl asked in surprise.
Gohan: "..."
Videl... you actually have a point.
I also feel like he's making ramen.
I remember that's exactly how ramen chefs do it.
Vegeta frowned slightly.
What is this guy trying to do?
Soon, Buu had pulled the flesh into over twenty strips and grinned at Vegeta.
Vegeta heightened his vigilance.
"Whoosh!"
Buu tossed them casually.
Instantly, the twenty-odd flesh strips rapidly coiled toward Vegeta.
Moreover, these flesh strips seemed to have eyes of their own, darting through the air like little snakes.
Vegeta's expression changed slightly.
This looks a bit tricky to handle.
After a brief hesitation, Vegeta immediately dodged the flying "snakes."
Of course, Vegeta's hands and feet weren't idle. Destruction energy flickered in his hands, completely annihilating several of the flesh snakes.
"Pop!"
In the next moment, two of the flesh snakes quickly merged in the air, turning into a pink fishing net that fell from the sky, directly covering Vegeta.
"No! This is bad!" Vegeta's expression changed.
However, by the time Vegeta reacted, he had already been tied up tightly by the fishing net.
Vegeta hovered in the air.
The net tightened.
Everyone on the scene covered their faces.
"Huh? Vegeta, your legs right now look a lot like the fishnet stockings Bulma wears," Goku scratched his head and said to Vegeta with a laugh.
Krillin turned and stared blankly at Goku, momentarily at a loss for words.
Goku, what you just said...
Is Vegeta going to turn "Super Saiyan Green" with envy or rage?
Gohan also felt a bit embarrassed and shyly lowered his head.
Dad, don't just say everything out loud.
Videl is still here.
"Gohan, do you like fishnet stockings too?" Videl whispered in a low voice.
Gohan: "????"
"If you like them... I'll wear them for you some other time," Videl said, her face flushing red.
Gohan was a bit dazed.
Videl actually agreed to wear those kinds of stockings for me?
Gohan suddenly felt a bit grateful to Vegeta.
Piccolo, however, looked completely bewildered.
What are you all talking about?
Why can't I understand a single word?
What's the big deal about wearing those stockings?
Only Vegeta's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
What else has Kakarot seen of my Bulma?
And Bulma, you're really too much.
You wear fishnet stockings for Kakarot but not for me?
The more Vegeta thought about it, the angrier he got.
"Boom!"
Deep blue flames suddenly erupted from Vegeta's body, directly shattering the pink fishing net.
Buu's eyes widened, looking at Vegeta in disbelief.
"What? Is that all you've got?" With a dark face, Vegeta glared at Buu.
Buu instantly looked at Vegeta with newfound respect.
This deep blue guy is not simple.
"Next, I won't be holding back!" Vegeta smiled lightly. With a flash of deep blue flames, he appeared directly in front of Majin Buu at extreme speed.
"Bang!"
Vegeta struck rapidly, a powerful elbow strike slamming heavily into Buu's cheek.
Buu's face was deeply indented.
"Bang!"
Vegeta delivered another kick, hitting Buu's head again.
"Boom!"
Buu was kicked to the ground by Vegeta, rolling several times.
"Get up, Majin Buu!" Vegeta smiled lightly, stepping toward Buu.
Buu climbed up from the ground, blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Goku had already made a clear judgment.
Vegeta had already won this battle.
In his previous life, no matter how hard he and Vegeta tried, they never managed to make Buu bleed.
It wasn't until Gohan unlocked his Ultimate form that he easily made Buu bleed.
Later, Vegito did the same.
Now, with the powerful strength of Super Saiyan Royal Blue, Vegeta could easily crush Majin Buu.
At this point, Goku also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although Buu was much stronger than imagined, there was still a huge gap between him and Vegeta.
But then again, Vegeta had indeed worked very hard over the years.
He had already raised his strength to such a height.
Goku made a brief estimation and felt that the current Vegeta was indeed not far off from Gohan's strength seven years ago.
"Bang!"
Buu suddenly extended his arm and slammed a punch into Vegeta's face.
Vegeta smirked, his face tilting slightly to the side, then he turned back and looked at Buu with a smile.
Buu was instantly stunned, a hint of terror appearing in his eyes.
Doesn't this guy feel pain?
"Then I won't be polite," Vegeta's smirk widened, a slight curve appearing on his lips.
"Pop!"
Vegeta's large hand reached forward and grabbed the antenna on Buu's head.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Vegeta rained punches down on Buu's face.
Buu was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back, left with nothing but to take the hits.
The Supreme Kai was completely dumbfounded.
Kibito was equally shocked.
Vegeta is just too strong!
"It seems our worries were unnecessary," Kibito breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Don't say that," the Supreme Kai shook his head slightly. "Until Majin Buu is eliminated, he remains a threat!"
"The Supreme Kai is right," Kibito nodded.
"Vegeta, stop playing around! Finish him off quickly," the Supreme Kai shouted, urging him.
Vegeta glanced at the Supreme Kai but had no intention of listening to him.
Finish off Majin Buu now?
Vegeta looked at Goku again.
Given Kakarot's nature, he would definitely want to keep this guy around.
"No need to rush, Supreme Kai," Goku hurriedly said. "Maybe Buu can become a good person."
Supreme Kai: "..."
Become a good person?
How could such an evil being possibly do that?
Goku did indeed want to keep Majin Buu.
If he didn't keep Majin Buu and just killed him, letting him reincarnate as Uub?
It felt like something would be missing.
And no matter what, Majin Buu was capable of becoming a good person.
For someone who could become good, Goku would naturally choose to keep them rather than kill them.
"Bang!"
Vegeta already knew what Goku meant. He grabbed Majin Buu's antenna again and slammed him violently into the ground.
"Boom!"
Buu's body slammed heavily into the earth, leaving a human-shaped crater.
Vegeta stood beside Buu, a victorious smile on his face.
Looking again, Buu was lying sprawled on the ground, looking as if his entire body was exhausted.
"Do you want to continue?" Vegeta smiled lightly.
"Do... do you like eating candy?" Buu asked weakly.
"I don't," Vegeta replied.
Buu: "..."
That's not how it's supposed to go.
You should be a little surprised.
Then I'd turn you into a candy and eat you.
"Turn into candy!" Buu couldn't care about anything else. The antenna on his head flashed with purple-white electricity.
"Whoosh!"
The electricity shot toward Vegeta at extreme speed.
Vegeta had long been prepared. Destruction energy flickered in his hand, directly annihilating the incoming electricity.
Buu's eyes widened, his mouth twitching.
This guy's reactions are fast.
It seems I'm no match for him!
The only way to win now is to absorb him.
Wait, where are my flesh strips from before?
I remember now.
This guy shattered the flesh net I turned into.
I should still be able to sense those pieces of flesh.
Buu immediately contacted the pieces of flesh he had shattered earlier.
Sure enough, a connection was established!
Instantly, one of the pieces of flesh on the ground wiggled, moving slowly toward Vegeta like a maggot.
The moment this piece of flesh appeared behind Vegeta, it intended to leap up and cover him.
Buu's smile widened, becoming even more radiant.
"Squish!"
Vegeta, however, suddenly took a step back, stepping directly onto that piece of flesh, flattening it instantly.
Buu: "..."
Buu immediately grimaced in pain.
"Hmm? I seem to have stepped on something. Is it poop?" As Vegeta spoke, he moved his foot away and looked down.
Buu's face turned black.
You're the poop!
Your whole family is poop!
"What? Do you want to eat it?" Vegeta smiled lightly, picked up the piece of flesh, and stuffed it directly into Buu's mouth.
Buu was beyond enraged, white steam erupting from his entire body.
This bastard!
You're humiliating me on purpose!
I will never forgive you!
But I can't beat him!
Wait!
I have an idea!
Without another word, Buu's body rapidly inflated.
"Are you going to self-destruct?" Vegeta was slightly taken aback.
"Boom!"
With a massive explosion, Buu's body blew apart.
Fragments of his body flew in all directions.
Vegeta immediately looked around.
Goku and the others also watched the pink flesh fragments flying through the air, all falling silent.
"Did this guy... ultimately choose suicide?" Piccolo mused.
"Uncle Piccolo, he shouldn't be that easy to kill," Gohan remarked.
"Blown to bits like that and he's still not dead?" Piccolo was stunned.
"Yeah! Majin Buu has incredible regenerative abilities!" Gohan nodded. "He's probably doing this to escape."
"Gohan is right. Majin Buu is planning to find a new way to challenge Vegeta," Goku joined in, offering his view. "From the looks of it, he won't be reforming anytime soon."
"Tch!" Vegeta snorted with disdain.
"Pop!"
Vegeta directly dispersed the deep blue flames on his body, returning to his normal state.
"Vegeta, not bad. That Super Saiyan Royal Blue is truly impressive," Goku gave Vegeta a thumbs-up.
"Kakarot, it's our turn next, isn't it..." Vegeta gazed at Goku with a fighting spirit.
"Our turn?" Goku was taken aback.
"This is what we agreed upon! It's time to make good on it!" Vegeta's smirk widened, a confident smile on his face.
"Alright." Goku thought for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement, then added, "Do you want to fight here?"
"Up to you. We can go somewhere else to fight," Vegeta said dismissively.
"Then... let's go to the Sacred World of the Kai to fight." Goku considered it seriously and felt that fighting there would be safer.
If Vegeta got desperate and accidentally blew up the Earth, it would be a huge problem.
After all, the Sacred World of the Kai was much sturdier, making it a lot easier to fight.
Supreme Kai: "..."
Kibito: "..."
The two of them looked grim.
You're going to the Sacred World of the Kai to fight again?
What do you take the Sacred World of the Kai for?
"Gohan, Piccolo, you don't need to come. Vegeta and I will go alone," Goku said to Gohan and the others before leaving. "Buu is still alive, so everyone be careful. It's best to leave this place first."
"Got it, Dad," Gohan nodded in agreement.
Piccolo didn't object either.
"Hey, aren't you going to find a way to eliminate Buu first before you two go off to fight?" The Supreme Kai was truly speechless.
Even if you want to fight, you should settle the matter with Buu first.
Are you leaving half of it here as a mess?
"Don't worry, Supreme Kai, it should be fine," Goku smiled. "Isn't Gohan still here?"
Then, before leaving, Goku emphasized to Gohan the matter of Majin Buu being able to absorb people.
Gohan's expression grew more serious, and he said he would remember.
"Go on, Old Son," Piccolo patted Goku on the shoulder and said with a smile. "With me here, don't worry."
Goku: "..."
Goku suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
In his previous life, Gohan and Piccolo were absorbed by Majin Buu at the same time.
I hope the same tragedy won't happen again this time.
"Vegeta, how about we wait until the matter with Buu is settled before we continue?" Goku suggested with a bit of a headache.
"Hmph, whatever you want," Vegeta agreed readily.
Goku was almost at a loss for words.
This Vegeta has indeed become much better.
If this were the Vegeta from his previous life, he would have insisted on sparring right here and now.
He didn't expect the current Vegeta to be so cooperative.
"Then we'll wait until the matter with Majin Buu is settled, and the two of us will go to the Sacred World of the Kai for a good fight." Goku gave Vegeta a friendly smile.
"I'll be waiting for you, Kakarot!" Vegeta nodded, then turned into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky and soon disappearing from sight.
"Goku, what do we do next?" Krillin asked. "If Buu is still alive... where are we going to find him?"
