"...It seems that Babidi is completely dead."
More than ten minutes later, Dabura emerged from Babidi's spaceship—unlike in the original story, the "M" mark on his forehead, which symbolized Babidi's control, had disappeared.
After clearing out the Frieza Force's minions, Dabura had been preparing to return to the primitive planet where Babidi was located. However, halfway there, he suddenly found himself freed from control.
The memories of being controlled were still fresh in his mind, so the first thought that came to Dabura after regaining his autonomy was to tear Babidi to pieces.
The thought that he, the King of the Demon Realm, had been controlled by a weak magician like Babidi filled Dabura with immense shame.
But when he returned to the planet, he found that Babidi had already disappeared without a trace. Even Babidi's spaceship had ceased to function.
Inside the spaceship, the place where the "egg" of Majin Buu had once been was now empty. Dabura quickly realized that someone had killed Babidi and taken the "egg" of Majin Buu.
It was also because of Babidi's death that Dabura's control had been lifted—it wasn't, as he had initially thought, due to a mistake in Babidi's control magic.
"But... this guy who killed Babidi is no ordinary person either."
As Dabura stepped out of the spaceship, he squinted and surveyed the surroundings. The ecology of this primitive planet, including its trees and magical creatures, had once been quite vibrant.
But now, all the magical creatures on the planet were dead, and the entire planet felt lifeless, as if all its vitality had been drained away.
Dabura couldn't gather any clues from this place—it was undoubtedly a case of covering up the evidence, and a terrifying one at that. The entire planet had been fundamentally destroyed.
This was exactly what Zuke had done—he had absorbed all the energy from the planet, turning it into a dead star.
This primitive planet only had some ferocious magical beasts and no signs of civilization, so destroying it didn't really affect the universe's overall balance.
Although Zuke hadn't yet defeated Frieza, he could still act as a substitute for the God of Destruction.
Rather than directly blowing up the planet, Zuke thought it would be a waste to not absorb the planet's energy, so he handled it this way.
On the internet before his transmigration, many people had suggested, "Since Moro devours planets, why not let Moro become the God of Destruction?"
Although this idea never came to fruition before Moro's death, it didn't stop Zuke from replicating the idea.
Even the Kaioshin couldn't say anything about it.
If there were any real issues, they could go complain to Beerus. After all, he was just acting as a substitute for the God of Destruction.
"Hmph, Babidi got off easy."
After searching for a while and finding no clues, Dabura sneered and waved his hand. A terrifying surge of "ki" erupted from his body, instantly obliterating Babidi's spaceship, leaving no trace behind.
As the King of the Demon Realm, Dabura didn't need a spaceship to travel through the universe. Just looking at the ship filled him with anger, reminding him of how he had been controlled by Babidi.
Although he had never broken free of Babidi's control because their personalities were somewhat aligned, that didn't mean he could tolerate being controlled.
After that, Dabura left the area—Babidi had died quietly, without even being noticed by the Kaioshin.
...
After devouring Majin Buu, Zuke left the mission world.
Originally, he had only come to collect the first Super Dragon Ball, but he hadn't expected to have an unexpected encounter with Babidi, whom he had narrowly missed before.
After devouring Majin Buu, Zuke's abilities had reached a new level. Now, he could start planning to devour other powerful beings to gain their combat strength.
But that was something to consider the next time he entered a mission world.
{Transitioning to Shin}
Slowly opening his eyes, Shin looked at the familiar ceiling and sat up from the bed.
As usual, only Irisviel was left in the bed. Shin moved her hand aside, got dressed, and left the room.
After washing up, Shin didn't immediately head to the dining room. Instead, he went to the courtyard—he wanted to test whether the items he had stored in the Gate of Babylon during the mission world could be summoned in reality.
In the Dragon Ball world, Shin had stored the Two-Star Super Dragon Ball and the cube-shaped spaceship in the Gate of Babylon.
The Two-Star Super Dragon Ball was the size of a planet, so of course, it couldn't be summoned. But the cube-shaped spaceship was about the size of the courtyard.
Shin tried to summon the "Gate of Babylon" to retrieve the cube-shaped spaceship—a golden ripple instantly appeared in front of him.
"Oh? It seems like I can summon it... but it's a bit slow. Is it because the cube-shaped spaceship is considered an 'ability' I gained in the Dragon Ball world?"
Soon, Shin realized that the cube-shaped spaceship could indeed be summoned, but unlike other items that could be stored and retrieved at will, it took a few minutes to summon the spaceship.
After a moment of thought, Shin guessed the reason—it was likely because his synchronization rate in the Dragon Ball world wasn't high enough.
As a result, the "cube-shaped spaceship" he had brought from the Dragon Ball world also required more time and effort to summon due to the low synchronization rate.
In contrast, items from mission worlds where he had achieved 100% synchronization could still be summoned normally—such as the treasures originally stored in Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon."
But it wasn't a big deal. For Shin, being able to bring items stored in mission worlds back to reality was already enough.
"Hey, Zuke, what are you doing standing in the courtyard so early in the morning?"
Just as Shin was about to stop summoning the cube-shaped spaceship, a female voice suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard.
Shin was startled. There was only one person who would call him by that nickname.
"Gabriel? What are you doing here?"
Looking up, he immediately saw Gabriel standing at the entrance of his mansion—she was wearing her school uniform and carrying a backpack.
Recalling his conversation with Thor the previous night, Shin quickly realized something
"Don't tell me you're here to start your maid job already?"
That's right, he had indeed invited Gabriel to work as a maid and promised her a generous salary.
But he never expected that Gabriel would show up so early in the morning—she hadn't even slept in!
Even Viginette would be shocked!
