Chapter 362: Massacre of Earthlings
Amidst the ruins, everyone's eyes were locked onto the sky.
Summoned by Babidi's magic, the darkened Oobu had taken control of Buu's body. A sinister and terrifying aura radiated from her, making it hard for anyone to breathe.
"This is bad. This Oobu feels far more dangerous than that Buu from earlier."
"To think there exists something even darker than me in this world… things are getting interesting."
Android No. 18 and the other women were all grim-faced, while Sharuru licked her lips bloodthirstily.
"Oobu, I hope you won't disappoint me like Buu did. Kill them all!"
Seeing that Oobu had fully awakened and adapted to his body, Babidi commanded him.
"Kill... kill them all?"
Tilting her head, Oobu looked at Babidi.
Unlike Buu, Oobu's intelligence was rather low. Even her speech seemed underdeveloped, and her words sounded rigid and unnatural.
"That's right! Kill them all! Wipe out every last person on this planet!"
Babidi snarled viciously, and Oobu's lips curled into a dark, brutal grin.
"Kill them all!"
Seemingly thrilled, Oobu raised one hand towards the sky.
"What… what is she trying to do…?"
Feeling an ominous premonition, Yuujin, Gokumi, and the others tensed up, ready for battle.
In the next instant, Oobu's hand began firing countless energy blasts. A piercing whistling sound echoed as the blasts arced through the sky, hurtling towards Yuujin and his allies.
"You won't succeed!"
Yuujin's eyes flashed sharply as he thrust both hands forward, launching hundreds of energy blasts to intercept Oobu's attack. Explosions erupted midair as the attacks collided.
"Tch, did he really think such weak attacks could kill us?"
"No, wait! Look!"
Launch scoffed, but Chi-Chi suddenly cried out in alarm.
As their vision cleared, they finally saw it. Oobu was still continuously firing energy blasts—not at them, but into the sky. The countless blasts then scattered in all directions.
The numbers were staggering—hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, billions…
And they were still increasing!
Even Yuujin's face darkened. He immediately realized what Oobu was attempting.
She was truly going to massacre every living being on this planet!
"Stop her!!!"
With a furious shout, Yuujin and Gokumi's group sprang into action, unleashing a barrage of energy blasts to intercept the attack.
They were already too late—but they had to save as many as possible!
"Look up! What's that?"
"It's beautiful…"
In a bustling metropolis, people suddenly noticed countless pink lights filling the sky, resembling a breathtaking meteor shower.
But as the pink lights drew closer, people were horrified to realize they were actually countless energy blasts!
"Run!!!"
Screams of terror erupted as people fled in panic.
But it was all in vain. The countless energy blasts rained down, reaping lives one after another.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Waaaahhh!!"
A little girl stood crying on the street, her parents already lying lifeless in pools of blood. A blast shot toward her, about to claim her life—but another energy blast suddenly intercepted it just in time.
Yet, she was among the rare lucky ones. Most others were slaughtered before they even had a chance to be saved.
Cries of agony and despair filled the air. In mere moments, the once-thriving city became a blood-soaked hellscape.
And this scene was repeating all over Earth.
"Damn it!!!"
"This is too cruel… too cruel…"
At the ruins of West City, Yuujin clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground. Bulma and Tights covered their mouths, their faces deathly pale.
Despite their best efforts to save lives, more than half of Earth's population had already been wiped out.
All in just a few short moments.
That damned Oobu—what a monstrous demon!
And that accursed Babidi—none of this would have happened without him!
Yuujin's gaze turned ice-cold as he glared at Babidi. He wanted nothing more than to tear him apart, but it seemed Babidi was already facing his own retribution.
"W-Why, Oobu? Why are you attacking me too?!"
Clutching his blood-gushing chest, Babidi stared in disbelief.
"Kill them all."
"Hehehe… hehehehe…"
Like a demon from hell, Oobu let out a cruel laugh.
"I told you to kill the others! I didn't tell you to kill me!"
"Cough… cough…"
Babidi coughed up blood furiously, nearly choking in rage.
How could this creature misinterpret his command so badly?!
"H-Hurry! Use your powers to heal me!"
"Hurry up!!!"
Feeling his life slipping away, Babidi desperately ordered Oobu.
But Oobu ignored him.
"Kill them all."
"Kill them all."
"Kill them all."
Oobu kept repeating those words as she raised her hand and aimed at Babidi.
Realizing what was about to happen, Babidi's face twisted in terror.
"S-Stop! Oobu, stop!!"
"Do you want to be sealed away again? Do you want to be put to sleep again?!"
"STOP!!!"
Babidi shrieked threats in desperation—but it was meaningless.
Oobu gathered energy and fired an energy wave straight at him.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Poor Babidi didn't even have time to chant a single spell before the roaring energy consumed him.
As his life faded, Babidi finally understood.
No wonder his late father had sealed this powerful being away.
No wonder his father's final words in that old book warned never to release this creature—let alone awaken it.
So this was why.
This was why.
This was a monster beyond control!
If only he hadn't been so arrogant… if only his hatred hadn't blinded him into thinking he could control everything…
Maybe things wouldn't have ended like this.
Maybe he wouldn't have been killed by Oobu.
Damn it all!!!
