'Well, this is quite the conundrum I've found myself in.'I thought with a nervous chuckle as I watched Innocent Buu slowly forming, waiting as the bubblegum pink being looked around before I frowned as I saw the short dark blue mohawk on top of his head.

"You there, abnormal being." Surprise ran through my body at the regal voice that Buu spoke with as he walked towards me, still keeping my guard up but waiting patiently as he stopped a few paces away from me.

"How did you get in here?"

"You answer my question first. What is here?" I asked and Buu frowned slightly before smirking as he nodded.

"I see. You tried to absorb Majin Buu, but in doing so, you miscalculated how much stronger you'd need to be in order to safely do so."

"…You read my mind. What the hell is it with people meeting me for the first time and wanting to learn just what goes on in this empty head?" I grumbled while turning to walk away, stopping as I heard Buu speak.

"Please, wait. Forgive me for my lack of manners in not asking before reading your mind, but I needed to do so seeing as your presence in here should not be possible."

"Why not? I absorbed Buu so I just assumed this would be another battle for me to gain control." I spoke as I turned around, a frown adorning my face as the being chuckled & shook his head.

"Ah, that would only be the case if you didn't overlook one simple thing." He spoke and my frown deepened before my eyes widened and a sigh escaped my lips.

"God ki."

"Indeed. I won't ask how you know of it or who you are since most of your memories are hidden from even my Divine Telepathy, but God ki empowers not only the body & mind but also the soul. Had you not made those wishes & tried to absorb Buu, your body would have been taken over instantly and Majin Buu would have been reborn."

"…I guess it's a good thing I made the wishes then, huh? Ehehe~" I chuckled nervously as a bead of sweat rolled down my face, to which Buu simply rolled his eyes.

"I see your rapid rise to power has made you arrogant in your ways."

"Considering that I am currently the strongest mortal throughout the universe? I think a bit of arrogance is warranted." I answered with a shrug before blinking as Buu scoffed.

"You? The strongest? Ha! You might have the most potent mortal ki in the universe, yes, but the strongest mortal is a title that belongs to someone else. A vile wizard that's been alive for millions of years."

"You mean Moro?" I asked before freezing as it felt as if a hand had wrapped around my throat, looking at Buu to his eyes opened slightly to reveal scarlet irises glaring at me.

"How do you know that name, Cell?" The air itself trembled at his words and the flesh-like dimension around us turned a pitch black as his divine ki lit up like a neon blue beacon of light.

"C-C-Can't! T-Tell! You!" I wheezed out, feeling my eyes rolling back as I began to get lightheaded before gasping for air as the pressure around my neck disappeared, drool dribbling out of my mouth along with streaks of purple blood as I looked up with teary eyes at the cold gaze of Buu.

"If it were not for the fact that I could feel you telling the truth, I would have ripped your heart out and sealed away your very essence inside the Crack of Time."

"R-Right!" I gasped out, spitting out the last of the blood before glaring at the ground as I watched Buu walking away.

I've been beaten before by Piccolo and by Vegeta, but it's one thing for them to actually exert some force to beat me up and another for a divine being to simply look at me & make me want to cut my own throat out of self-preservation.

'I know that the gods are supposed to be the strongest beings aside from the angels & Zeno, but does God Ki really give that much of a power boost?'

"If you wish to stay here, you are free to do so." I blinked as I heard Buu speaking, looking over before my eyes widened slightly at the gaping hole left in the wall, Buu already walking through it as it began to close behind him.

'Well, at least he hasn't tried to actually kill me.' I thought with a sigh as I jogged after him, watching as the hole closed behind us before blinking as we found ourselves in a completely different dimension.

As I watched hundreds upon thousands of small chocolate spiders descending upon us while thousands more raced across the wet syrup floor, I could only sigh & ready myself for a fight while Buu cracked his neck as the air around him grew potent.

'Maybe absorbing Buu wasn't exactly the right call.'

"So, you are a clone of Lord Frieza?" The red-skinned woman asked Em as he & Meru followed her to their new living quarters, to which Meru hummed while Em gave a so-so gesture.

"Kind of. While we do possess the DNA of Frieza, we also possess the DNA of King Cold along with that of the Saiyans Vegeta & Goku and the Namekian Piccolo as well as the memories of the Great Namekian Guru. To put it simple, think of us as a perfect fusion of the strongest beings in existence."

"I…see. That would explain why a fraction of your power registered at 800,000 while Lord Frieza's full power barely broke over 530,000." She muttered and Em nodded before blinking as Meru spoke up.

"So, what's your name?"

"I am Bonyu, former member of the Ginyu Force and now commander of the Second Stellar Region Squadron."

"Ginyu Force? Weren't they killed on Planet Namek?" Em asked and Bonyu sighed as she nodded.

"Indeed, they were. I resigned just before the mission on Namek and only got word of their demise after the reports from King Cold's ship came in months after his demise."

"Ah, that explains why you survived. Did you perhaps have a family member on the Force that-!"

"-was named Jeice? Looks like me except a male version, more muscular and also a lot more feminine acting?" Bonyu asked with an amused smirk, which grew as Em chuckled while Meru grinned.

"Yep, guess we're thinking of the same guy."

"He was my first cousin, sirs, though there was no familial love between us. Such things tend to disappear when he tires to kill you for your spot on the Force." She spoke with a sigh, to which they both glanced at each other & nodded.

"I see. Very well, apologies for bringing up bad memories. I assume these are our quarters?" Em asked while looking at the door, to which Bonyu blinked as she realized that they were already standing in front of Lord Frieza's old room.

"That it is. We shall be seeing you for breakfast tomorrow, perhaps my lords?"

"You will indeed."

"We do not need sustenance, but it would be nice to converse with those that are left of the Frieza Force."

"I think I already meant that when I said that she will see us for breakfast tomorrow." Meru spoke with a smirk, to which Em simply rolled his eyes before both blinked as they heard Bonyu giggle, looking over to see a smile on her face as she bowed.

"Then, please, rest well for the night, my lords." She spoke before turning & walking away, Meru smirking as he watched her swaying her hips slightly before grunting as Em's tail smacked the back of his head.

"Are you trying to lead her on?"

"She's trying to make sure her soldiers survive by seducing the strongest beings she can trust. I think asking for a little something-something is more than enough as compensation."

"…Yeah, that's either Piccolo or Vegeta talking through you. Come on, let's get in and talk about our current predicament."

"You mean how we're going to get our banana & eggs back?" Meru asked and Em let out a frustrated sigh as he turned to stare at his fellow clone.

"I'm talking about the fact that not only does Cooler exist in this world, but he's also stronger than he was in the movies considering that he has Turles & Slug working under his command, who are also apparently canon to this universe."

"Worrying would just make us anxious & uneasy and when something is uneasy…"

"It loses sight of the bigger picture hidden within the smaller ones." Em spoke with a sigh, Meru nodding as he sat down on the floor before looking at Em as he took a deep breath & nodded.

"Thank you."

"No problem. So, how are we going to go forward with both this new development and our primary objectives?" Meru asked and Em frowned as he paced around, running through the thought processes in his hands before Meru looked up as his fellow clone stopped.

"We continue with the original plan. It will be harder now than it was before, but if Super Broly exists in this universe, having him at our side would be a major help against those three."

"And if it's Z?" Meru asked, watching as Em stopped slightly before shaking his head.

"We will deal with that if it comes to that point."

"…Sure. So, wanna have a quick match before we hit the sack?" Meru asked and Em smirked as he sat down in front of his fellow clone, both closing their eyes as the world around them faded away while their ki linked up in between them.

"First to knock out the other loses." Meru spoke with a grin as they appeared within their shared mindscape, Em smirking as he nodded before the air trembled as both fighters rushed forward.

"So, what exactly are you?" I asked while ducking under the slimy enzyme's attack, Buu blinking in confusion as he turned just as we both erased the enzyme's attacking us.

"What do you mean?" Buu asked while tilting his body to the side just as a roundworm missed striking his chest, to which I shrugged while leaping with a spinning kick that sent the large worm ragdolling through the air before a Death Cannon disintegrated its head.

"Well, you look like Buu, but you're also a divine being and while I can't feel God ki, I can feel enough of Buu's mortal ki to know that you're on a completely different level compared to him."

'This way, I can find out if he's just the Grand Supreme Kai or a mixture of all the Supreme Kais that Buu absorbed.'

"Ah, I never introduced myself, did I? I am Shin-ō, the Grand Supreme Kai of Universe 7 or at least, that's who I was before I was absorbed by our friend here." Shin-ō spoke while gesturing at the mindscape of Buu, to which I hummed before leaning out of the way of his ki blast right as it struck a roundworm behind me & blew it up with a spectacular explosion.

"I see. Wait, what do you mean by Universe 7? You mean there's different universes?" I asked while feigning surprise & excitement before sighing as Shin-ō simply gave me a knowing look.

"You do remember that I can detect lies & feints, correct?"

"Yeah, I thought I had you with that one. So, you don't wanna know why I know so much because you haven't asked me a single question about what you saw?" I asked as we finished off the last roundworm before blinking as Shin-ō gave a snort.

"Usually, I would, but when you come into contact with a being that has traces of the Grand Zeno's divine energy on them, you mind your business and you don't dig deeper than you've already had."

"Wait. I…I have what?" His words threw me for a loop as I stopped in my tracks, Shin-ō turning to give me a confused stare before he hummed as he most likely felt the legitimate shock in my body.

"Ah, you didn't know of that, did you?"

"No! Why do I have his energy on me?"

"Traces of it and I do not know nor do I want to know. Whatever business you have with him, while fascinating, is not worth my life to want to find out about."

'Is…Is Zeno the reason I'm here? I mean, he can erase timelines and multiverses at the same time, so there shouldn't be doubt that he could just reach into another universe and place me here, but why? What reason would he have to put me here when I was just a normal guy trying to live his best life?'

"There's no use thinking about it. Doing so would just make you start to doubt yourself and give you an existential crisis." Shin-ō's words knocked me from my thoughts and I looked up to see him giving me a smirk.

Yet, as he looked at me, I could also see the slight hints of concern in his eyes before a chuckle escaped my lips as he turned & continued walking.

"Thank you." I thanked him as I followed after, smirking as he just nodded before blinking as he stopped in his tracks.

"It's of no concern. Now, look alive. We are here."

"Where is…here…?" I trailed off as I looked at the vast expanse in front of us, Shin-ō frowning as he continued walking towards the centre of the open area.

Unlike the fleshy walls of the first dimension, the syrup floors of the second dimension or the slimy walls of the third dimension, this was just an open area and a large one at that, torches burning on the walls while a large bone-like chandelier hung from the tall roof above us.

Looking at the centre of the room, I was surprised to find Shin-ō already standing there, though I was more intrigued by the large pink ball that stood directly in front of him.

"What is that?" I asked as I walked over, to Shin-ō frowned before I blinked as he answered.

"That is the large remainder of my god ki along with the full power of Buu condensed into one. Now, ready yourself. Its guardian is here."

"Wait, wh-!" I was cut off before I could finish my sentence by a crushing force slamming into my side, my vision fading to near darkness as I felt my body ricocheting off of the walls before gasping as a force managed to stop me while also healing the large number of shattered bones & severely injured organs in my body.

Looking over at where the force had come from, I was surprised to see a muscular version of Buu standing in front of the orb, his body covered in a neon-blue aura while sparks that looked like ethereal scarlet stars flickered inside of it.

'…If I survive this, I am done with absorbing people.'
