Son Goku couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Aishi, what did you just do? He hadn't even finished speaking and you already killed him…"
Piccolo stared intently at Aishi. After a moment of silence, he shared his thoughts. "That guy who called himself the King of the Demon Realm… For Babidi to leave him behind as a rear guard, he couldn't have been weak!"
"I didn't expect him to be insta-killed by Aishi."
"Yeah, anyone left behind to stall for time surely wouldn't be some kind-hearted soul. And he claimed to be the King of the Demon Realm…" Krillin nodded in agreement.
Vegeta, however, furrowed his brow tightly. "Aishi, you used some special technique just now, didn't you?"
He was certain of it.
There's no way Aishi just used his speed to kill Dabura!
That would be absurd.
Among those present were himself and Kakarot—two peak Super Saiyan 2s!
How could they not even catch a glimpse of Aishi's movement?
Everyone voiced their own thoughts.
And without exception—
First, they all agreed that the King of the Demon Realm, Dabura, was definitely not weak. He was strong!
After all, he was a Demon Realm King and Babidi's subordinate.
Second, they all suspected Aishi had used some kind of secret technique.
Facing everyone's questions, Aishi didn't shy away and gave a straightforward explanation about Tokitome (Time Stop).
He had simply wanted to try out Tokitome in a real fight.
He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the others.
But once the group heard his explanation, their expressions grew even graver.
Everyone's face was full of shock.
"What?!" Krillin was terrified. "Time Stop?!"
"Is that even something a human can do?"
"I've never even had the concept of this before!"
Supreme Kai Shin looked completely dumbfounded.
He even wondered if he was hallucinating.
"Time Stop?"
"I've never heard of such a thing… Could it be that the Supreme Kai has fallen behind the times…"
Shin began to doubt reality itself.
"Supreme Kai-sama, should we be more... discreet?" Kibito's face looked grim.
"People from the lower world are terrifying. I want to go back to the Sacred Land!"
"Discreet, absolutely discreet. Speak nicely, be polite, no showing off! You—don't say a word next!" Shin nodded repeatedly and whispered to Kibito.
Piccolo's green face turned pale.
Upon hearing the concept of Time Stop, he too looked shaken.
"This ability is absolutely one of the most terrifying in existence!"
"You have to understand, battles between experts are incredibly intense. Even one second can determine countless outcomes!"
Son Goku nodded with a serious expression. "Piccolo's right."
"There are too many variables in a fight. A single second is enough for people like us to die hundreds—no, thousands of times!"
After speaking, Goku looked oddly relieved. "Good thing Aishi is our friend, or we'd be toast!"
Krillin also looked grateful. "Yeah, good thing Aishi's not a bad guy. Otherwise, not one of us here could do anything to stop him!"
Gohan nodded with admiration in his eyes. "As expected of my master!"
Aishi gave a light smile. "No need to flatter. Let's go."
"By now, Babidi has probably revived Majin Buu."
Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.
Son Goku smiled. "You're right. Let's head to the next battlefield!"
"Babidi's a sly one. There's no way he'd just let us go down peacefully."
With that, the group all leapt into the spaceship.
Left behind—
Vegeta frowned, looking incredibly upset.
What revenge?
Revenge, my ass!
As long as Aishi has Time Stop, he'd never be able to defeat him!
After thinking it over to no avail, Vegeta gritted his teeth and growled, "Tch, who cares about Time Stop—when I surpass Aishi, I'll shatter that damn Time Stop with one punch!"
With that thought, Vegeta felt motivated again.
And jumped into the spaceship after them.
Along the way, many of Babidi's subordinates appeared.
They were under strict orders to stop the group at any cost, even death.
But—
Aishi and the others treated them like small fry, mowing through them.
Son Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan took turns.
Their advance was smooth and unchallenged.
Babidi's minions began questioning reality after each encounter.
Seeing these people was like seeing ghosts.
…
At the same time—
In the lowest level.
This was Babidi's hideout and also the incubation chamber for Majin Buu's egg.
Babidi stared at the projection sphere on the floor.
His face grew darker by the second.
"Damn it."
"Just who are these people?!"
"That bastard Supreme Kai actually recruited so many helpers!"
"And that fool Dabura… to get instantly killed like that—what a piece of trash…!"
Babidi's face turned red with rage as he shouted.
Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly inserted the energy extractor taken from Spopovich into the massive egg containing Majin Buu.
"Excellent!"
"Majin Buu… Majin Buu! Hurry up and come out!"
"Kill all those damned fools…!"
As he watched the extractor drain completely, Babidi's mood lifted, and he was ecstatic.
Even after losing so many subordinates—
He didn't care at all.
As long as Majin Buu emerged, it was worth it.
——Vmm!
Then—
Under his expectant and tense gaze, the massive egg suddenly burst forth with an astonishing light!
——Whoosh! Whoosh!
Next, pink smoke began spraying from inside the egg, flooding the entire chamber.
"Excellent!"
He looked up at the ceiling, where the pink smoke was gathering…
This was clearly a sign of Majin Buu's arrival.
"Vegeta and those fools really are my lucky stars. They helped gather the energy so quickly."
"This is perfect. Now just wait for my payback…"
Babidi sneered, especially emphasizing the word payback.
So many of his men were killed.
Of course he wouldn't let it go.
But just then—
A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Then you might not get the chance."
"Who's there?!"
Babidi was startled and quickly looked toward the source of the voice.
In the shadows—
A tall figure slowly stepped out.
It was a woman.
"I really should thank you, Babidi. As a reward—Majin Buu is mine. And you…"
"Can go to hell!"
