"What about those Dragon Balls?" Goku quickly asked.
"Those Dragon Balls? Which Dragon Balls are you talking about?" Kami was a bit confused, but still explained truthfully, "Didn't the Dragon Balls already grant a wish to revive you? Right now the Dragon Balls have turned to stone!"
"No... I'm talking about the Dragon Balls you created before you became Kami, that is, before you separated from Piccolo." Goku answered.
Kami was obviously startled, unable to quite process this.
"Where are those Dragon Balls kept now? Are they still at the Lookout?" Goku inquired.
"What are you talking about, Goku?" Kami was truly bewildered and said strangely, "Those Dragon Balls are the same ones that revived you!"
"Huh? No way! You mean... these two types of Dragon Balls are the same?" Goku scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Not two types of Dragon Balls—just one type!" Kami replied. "I only created this one type of Dragon Ball. Whether it was before I separated from Piccolo or after, there's only been this one type!"
"Only one type?" Goku was confused and asked again, "Isn't there a type where the stars inside are black?"
"No..." Kami was even more puzzled. "What's wrong, Goku? Why are you asking this?"
"Well..." Goku scratched his head and ears, feeling utterly bewildered.
Could it be that because I was reborn, this timeline has changed?
Future Trunks once said there was a timeline where I died from a heart virus, and one where I lived.
Perhaps it's really because I was reborn in this timeline that the world has changed somewhat.
But that's not right!
If I had been reborn before Kami and Piccolo separated, the Dragon Balls changing would make sense.
The problem is... I was reborn at this point in time. Logically, the Black Star Dragon Balls should still exist.
"Mr. Popo, do you have any recollection of Black Star Dragon Balls?" Goku looked at Mr. Popo behind Kami, his eyes brightening as he quickly asked.
"No... Kami has only created that one type of Dragon Ball. There's never been any Black Star Dragon Balls like you're talking about." Popo shook his head, looking confused.
"Alright... I understand. I'm leaving now!" Goku took a deep breath, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and placed them on his forehead.
I'll go to Supreme Kai's place first.
Maybe Old Kai can answer my doubts.
"Whoosh!"
Goku immediately used Instant Transmission and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.
...
Supreme Kai's world.
Supreme Kai and Kibito were observing the movements on Earth from the ground of the Supreme Kai's world.
"Supreme Kai, fortunately the location where that Saiyan called Vegeta fought with Son Goku was very far from Majin Buu's seal, so it won't cause any impact at all." Kibito breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Yes, that puts my mind at ease." Supreme Kai nodded.
"That Saiyan prince Vegeta just lost like that to that Saiyan called Son Goku." Kibito exclaimed in wonder. "I must say, Supreme Kai... this Saiyan called Son Goku seems pretty powerful! Especially that transformation where his whole body glows golden!"
"That's right!" Supreme Kai smiled slightly, then shook his head. "However, it's unfortunate that compared to Majin Buu, he's still far behind."
"Never mind Majin Buu—even against us, he's no match at all." Kibito smiled confidently.
"After all, he's only human. It's difficult to surpass true gods." Supreme Kai's smile appeared, but after speaking, he became somewhat dejected and sighed. "What's unfortunate is that Majin Buu's strength exceeds ours!"
"Supreme Kai, should we relocate Majin Buu somewhere else?" Kibito suggested. "When Majin Buu was on Earth before, humanity had just emerged! But now Earth's technology is quite advanced, and there are Saiyans on this planet... I'm worried that if his seal gets violently impacted, he might break out from inside!"
"I also want to relocate him somewhere else, but if we do that, there's a possibility he might be greatly affected during the transfer and break out of the seal prematurely." Supreme Kai shook his head and said in a low voice. "What we can do now is constantly monitor his seal... Fortunately, there's no one around where he's located! There shouldn't be any major problems in the short term!"
"What?" Kibito's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression changing as he stared blankly at Goku who had appeared behind Supreme Kai.
"Kibito, what I mean is, it's best not to relocate Majin Buu for now. Leaving him in place is more appropriate." Supreme Kai thought Kibito hadn't understood and repeated what he'd just said.
"This this this... how is this possible? This is the true realm of the gods!" Kibito was truly stunned, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground, showing an expression of shock.
Only then did Supreme Kai suddenly snap back to reality and quickly turn to look behind him.
When he saw Goku had appeared behind him, Supreme Kai also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Ah... hello, Supreme Kai, Kibito." Goku smiled and waved in greeting, then scratched his head and laughed. "Hahaha, I'm a bit unused to seeing you two separated!"
Supreme Kai: "????"
Kibito: "????"
Both looked completely baffled.
What are you talking about?
Also, how did you get to the Supreme Kai's world?
Only Supreme Kai can enter here.
You're just a human!
"Son Goku!" Supreme Kai stared blankly at Goku, unable to help saying his name.
"Huh? Supreme Kai already knows me at this point in time?" Goku was slightly surprised and rubbed his head.
"How did you get here?" Kibito asked with a furrowed brow.
"Well... I remember it should be in that location... I'll go check!" Goku pointed to a towering cliff in the distance and immediately flew in that direction.
Kibito: "..."
"I'm talking to you—did you hear me?" Kibito's face darkened.
Then Supreme Kai and Kibito immediately looked at each other, suddenly realizing Goku was actually flying in the direction of the Z Sword.
"What's he trying to do? Is he trying to pull out the Z Sword?" Kibito immediately snapped back to reality.
"Let's go see!" Supreme Kai pondered, then muttered strangely, "How does he know about the Z Sword?"
Kibito was also completely confused.
The two immediately followed.
Goku landed on the cliff where the Z Sword was embedded, immediately spotting the sword's hilt embedded deep in the cliff.
"So this is the Z Sword!" Goku took a deep breath.
"Although I don't know how you learned about the Z Sword... but it seems you want to pull this sword out?" Kibito smiled slightly. "You're probably being a bit too fanciful. Don't think just because you defeated Vegeta you can pull out the Z Sword! This sword—never mind me—even Supreme Kai can barely budge it!"
