Rayden quickly interrupted the old Supreme Kai before he could continue rambling.
"Alright, alright, stop bragging!"
"We let you out so you could help us—develop our potential."
"Develop your potential?" the old Supreme Kai blinked in confusion. "How do you know I even have that ability?"
Son Goku stepped forward and began explaining. "Actually, in another timeline—GT spacetime—we encountered someone like you. He had the same ability to unlock hidden potential."
"What?!" The old Supreme Kai's face turned pale. "You've been to another timeline?!"
His voice boomed, completely flabbergasted. "Don't you realize that time travel is a serious felony in the divine realm?!"
Rayden simply waved him off, unfazed. "Don't worry about that. Just focus on unlocking our potential."
A felony? So what? Rayden thought to himself. No one's arrested me yet.
"This…" the old Supreme Kai hesitated, clearly torn. "I can feel it. You're all already ridiculously strong. Your power alone could threaten all the mortals in this universe. Why would you need further enhancement?"
Supreme Kai Shin stepped in, hands pressed together in a respectful plea. "Grandfather, please help Rayden and the others. They're our only hope."
The old Supreme Kai spun around and snapped, "You little brat! What do you know?!"
Jebit added firmly, "Old Supreme Kai, Majin Buu is still out there. If he's not stopped soon, the universe could be destroyed."
"Majin Buu? Who's that?" the old Supreme Kai asked, puzzled. (Of course—Majin Buu hadn't even been created during his era.)
"Majin Buu is a dangerous and chaotic entity," Supreme Kai Shin explained gravely. "He's evil to the core—he destroys entire planets and has already killed the Great Supreme Kai, the West, South, and North King Kais…"
"Idiots!" the old Supreme Kai shouted furiously. "If you were too weak to deal with him yourselves, why didn't you ask the Gods of Destruction for help?!"
"Gods of Destruction?" Shin looked completely lost. "Who's that? Are they powerful? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
The old Supreme Kai nearly had a heart attack. "You… are you stupid?!"
Shin quickly bowed his head in shame, trembling from the verbal onslaught.
"What kind of Supreme Kai doesn't even know his counterparts in the cosmic hierarchy?!" the old Supreme Kai raged. "You're supposed to be balanced with the God of Destruction! You keep the cycle of creation alive!"
He bombarded Shin with several more questions, only for Shin to respond with clueless expressions each time.
The old Supreme Kai nearly collapsed. "You really are hopeless. A disgrace to our lineage!"
Then he turned, voice tight with urgency. "Where's Majin Buu now?!"
"In our Supreme Kai World," Shin replied, pointing toward the distant battlefield where explosions echoed like thunder.
The old Supreme Kai's face turned white. "Why are you still here then?! Are you all waiting to die?!"
"If my death can bring peace to the universe, then I'm willing to make that sacrifice!" Shin declared nobly, puffing his chest out.
SMACK!
The old Supreme Kai slapped him hard on the back of the head. "Peace? You think sacrificing your clueless self will fix things?! Hopeless!"
Shin groaned, rubbing the growing bump on his head.
He then asked meekly, "So, Grandfather… Should we call the God of Destruction now?"
The old Supreme Kai hesitated. "Well... that might not be such a good idea. What if I wake up that lazy cat and he seals me back in the sword again?!"
Rayden, watching the exchange with amusement, was approached by Cell.
"Rayden, who is the God of Destruction for our universe, anyway?"
Rayden smiled. "He's a cat. And he has a twin brother who rules over Universe 6."
Paragus furrowed his brow. "So that fat cat had a brother? Well, we couldn't find the fat one… why don't we go find the brother and settle the score?!"
"No need," Rayden waved him off. "We'll just look for the one from Universe 6."
"You know about other universes too? And their Gods of Destruction?!" The old Supreme Kai nearly fell over in shock.
How is it that these humans know more than I do?
Paragus crossed his arms. "Hmph. What's the big deal? We even destroyed that cat's house once. Next time we see him, we'll beat him half to death for what he did to Broly!"
The old Supreme Kai raised an eyebrow. Now that got his attention. If these mortals had already managed to offend a God of Destruction and lived to tell the tale… maybe helping them wasn't such a bad idea after all.
"Hehehe~!" The old Supreme Kai chuckled, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Alright, then. Who wants to be first?"
Rayden blinked, surprised at the sudden change of heart. But he wasted no time.
Using his Thousand-Mile Voice technique, he sent a message to the two little Saiyans still battling Majin Buu.
"Goten! Trunks! Hurry up and finish that fat blob already!"
Hearing Rayden's voice in their minds, the two snapped into action.
"Goten, enough messing around!" Trunks said seriously. "Let's go all out."
"Got it!"
The boys roared, their golden auras flaring even stronger than before. Ki crackled in the air as they channeled power into their palms.
Bang! Boom!
They fired their combined attacks, and Majin Buu exploded into pink chunks.
"Did we get him?" Trunks asked.
"Wait—his energy hasn't vanished yet!" Goten warned.
Sure enough, the pink flesh scattered across the battlefield began to wiggle and twitch—then started pulling itself back together. Within seconds, Majin Buu was fully reformed.
"He regenerated again?" Trunks muttered. "Let's finish this—Super Saiyan God!"
"Yeah!" Goten nodded.
Both boys roared again, and their golden auras shifted—becoming crimson red. Their hair followed, turning flame-colored as they achieved the power of Super Saiyan God.
Majin Buu, though unable to sense divine ki, instinctively took a step back. His body trembled despite his mind not understanding why.
Son Goten gathered a massive orb of energy at his waist.
Trunks, meanwhile, charged Ki into both hands.
"Wonderful Wave!" Goten shouted.
"Afterburner!" Trunks added.
BOOOOM!!!
Majin Buu screamed, unable to dodge as the two beams hit him dead-on. He was engulfed in the explosion and obliterated—this time, for good.
With the battlefield cleared, Trunks and Goten flew back toward Rayden and the others.

Snap! Snap!
The two boys landed beside the group, covered in minor scrapes but grinning proudly.
"Uncle Rayden, Majin Buu's dealt with. What do you need us for?"
"Majin Buu is gone?!" Supreme Kai Shin and Jebit were overjoyed, jumping with relief.
But the old Supreme Kai stared at the boys, wide-eyed. "Hold on... How come these two have divine energy? They radiate the aura of gods!"
Son Goku laughed. "Oh, that's just one of our transformations. As Saiyans, we can transform into Super Saiyan Gods."
"You mean... all of you can?" the old Supreme Kai gasped.
The group nodded in unison.
The old Kai stood frozen in shock for over ten seconds before finally snapping out of it.
"Alright, who wants to go first for potential unlocking?"
Rayden pointed toward the two kids. "Start with Goten and Trunks."
"Fine, fine. Kid, come here and sit in front of me," the old Supreme Kai said to Son Goten.
Goten walked over, sat cross-legged on the grass, and waited patiently.
The old Supreme Kai began chanting a strange spell, pacing in circles around the young Saiyan.
"Is it really that complicated to awaken someone's potential?" Goku asked, confused.
Rayden explained, "It's not like what the Namekians do. This technique is divine in nature. The potential awakened by the old Supreme Kai will increase strength massively."
Everyone nodded, now watching with greater respect.
After completing the ritual, the old Supreme Kai sat down in front of Goten, placed his hands on the boy's shoulders, and focused his divine energy.
He closed his eyes and murmured, "This kid… so young, yet his potential is already incredible. I can't imagine how powerful he'll become once his hidden abilities are fully unlocked."
Meanwhile, the rest of the group could only watch quietly, amazed at what they were witnessing.
"Man, this is so slow," Vegeta muttered.
Rayden, however, had another idea. A sudden thought sparked in his mind. He reached into his storage ring and pulled out a glowing, pulsating seed.
It was a Spirit Tree Seed.
"Goku, come with me," Rayden said suddenly.
Without waiting, he took off into the sky.
Everyone looked at each other curiously, then followed closely behind, wondering what Rayden was planning now.
