Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

"What?!"

"Y-You… Who are you?!"

"Why did you come out of that spaceship?!"

Babidi was utterly terrified, his stubby legs stumbling back in fear.

He quickly hid behind the control panel.

In the dim lighting—

Babidi finally saw the figure clearly.

It was a beautiful and intellectual-looking woman.

She had long, wavy chestnut-brown hair, slightly tousled yet still elegant, cascading naturally over her shoulders and back.

Her hair reached down to her waist.

Her skin was pale and smooth, her cheeks carried a natural pinkish hue, radiating both health and softness.

She had large, bright eyes with deep black pupils, gleaming with an air of wisdom and mystery.

Beneath her high nose was a pair of rosy lips, slightly curled into a faint, confident smile.

She wore a white lab coat reaching down to her knees, with casually rolled-up sleeves and collar—adding to her poised and laid-back demeanor.

Beneath the coat was a sleek black dress that hugged her curves perfectly.

The hem of the dress stopped just above her knees, revealing her long, slender legs.

Though her expression remained calm and composed, her presence exuded immense pressure on Babidi.

She looked at him and spoke in a light, cold voice:

"Who I am isn't important. What matters is—Majin Buu is mine now."

Her voice was clear and elegant, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this—

Babidi immediately exploded with rage. "What did you say?!"

"Majin Buu is absolutely not yours! He's mine!"

"Heh…"

21 smirked and shook her head. "Yours? Is his name written on him or something?"

"You…!"

Babidi was livid, pointing at 21 but unable to say a word in response.

"I don't have time to argue with you. They should be arriving soon."

With that, 21 extended a slender, fair hand and slowly opened her palm.

A small, exquisite gourd appeared in her hand.

She pointed it toward the swirling smoke above.

"Absorb."

With that—

——Whoosh!

The still-unformed pink smoke that was Majin Buu's body was suddenly sucked into the gourd.

Under Babidi's shocked and disbelieving gaze—

21 calmly sealed the lid.

——Pop!

She put the gourd away and gave Babidi a smile.

It was a beautiful and charming smile—but full of hidden danger!

"Here's a little gift for you."

A purple energy blast gathered in her hand and was hurled at Babidi.

As his eyes filled with hatred—

21 gracefully turned her back.

——RUMBLE!!!

A massive explosion roared to life. The entire spaceship buried deep underground erupted violently, blasting countless stones into the sky!

The sight was terrifying.

At the same time—

The others, still descending toward the lower levels—

Suddenly felt something.

Their expressions changed.

Krillin panicked, "What was that?!"

Aishi furrowed his brow. "The spaceship just exploded."

"What?!" Supreme Kai Shin exclaimed.

"It's here."

Vegeta gave a cold snort, then immediately powered up to defend.

"Run!"

Son Goku's face changed as he urgently told the others to get out of the way.

He himself shot upward, fully powered, to block the incoming shockwave.

When the smoke slowly dissipated—

Everyone finally saw what lay ahead.

Babidi's spaceship was completely gone.

All that remained was an enormous, seemingly bottomless crater!

"Cough cough…"

Krillin looked utterly baffled. "What the hell happened?"

Son Goku's expression was serious. "Someone fired an energy blast down there—it blew up the entire spaceship."

Supreme Kai Shin was in disbelief. "Then what about Babidi and Majin Buu?"

"No idea," Son Goku shook his head. He really didn't know.

Everyone fell silent, frowning deeply.

They were clearly all at a loss.

Aishi stroked his chin, deep in thought.

So… the timeline has deviated from the original.

Looking down at the smoking ruins—

Aishi was a bit puzzled too.

There were only a few who could destroy a spaceship like that.

Dabura was taken out by him in one hit, so it definitely wasn't him.

And just now, he'd clearly sensed both Babidi's and Majin Buu's ki.

But now, they were completely gone.

Could it be Majin Buu killed Babidi?

But where would Majin Buu go afterward?

That chubby guy doesn't exactly have high intelligence—where could he even escape to?

So Majin Buu was ruled out too.

Then who was it?

Someone who could suppress their ki completely and unleash such destructive power…

Definitely not human!

A god?

Possible.

But Aishi was more inclined to believe it was an Android!

At this stage, only Androids would fit that criteria.

"Aishi, do you have any ideas?"

Piccolo had been watching Aishi closely.

Seeing a subtle change in his expression, he figured Aishi must've figured something out.

He quickly asked.

Son Goku also perked up, turning to Aishi with a hopeful look. "Yeah! Aishi, what do you think?"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Aishi said calmly, "Two possibilities. First—this explosion was caused by a god, but that's unlikely."

"Second—it was an Android. That's my guess."

Vegeta frowned. "Why?"

Everyone looked confused. Gods? Androids? How did that come up?

They didn't know much about gods, so they didn't bother speculating.

But how did it point to Androids?

Wasn't the Android issue resolved already?

Weren't they all gone…?

Seeing their confusion, Aishi sighed and shook his head. "Just now, you all felt Majin Buu's ki appear for a moment, right?"

Everyone nodded.

But what did that have to do with anything?

"That means Babidi successfully revived Majin Buu. And since Babidi could control Buu, it couldn't have been either of them that did this. They're allies."

"But now, both of their ki are gone!"

"So there's only one explanation—both were taken out by a third party!"

"And someone whose ki we can't sense. That means either a god… or an Android. Only those two could hide from our perception."

"As for whether Majin Buu is dead—unclear. But Babidi? He's definitely toast."

Aishi said flatly.

Everyone suddenly understood.

Son Goku looked stunned. "Aishi, are you saying someone killed both Babidi and Majin Buu?!"

Hiss~

Everyone gasped.

Who could be that powerful?

"No way, Kakarot. You felt that ki earlier too, didn't you? You know how strong it was!" Vegeta scowled and shook his head in denial.

He couldn't believe it.

That someone could do to Majin Buu what Aishi did to Dabura—instantly.

That was just absurd!

Majin Buu's ki was stronger than his own. If someone could one-shot Buu…

Then what chance did any of them have?

"Hmm… Goku, Vegeta has a point. Majin Buu isn't so easy to kill, especially not instantly…" Supreme Kai Shin agreed.

He had seen Majin Buu's terror firsthand.

Son Goku scratched his head. "Hahaha, I was just guessing anyway. Buu's ki did disappear, though…"
