Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Leon Ragnell's heart pounded wildly.
Then a terrifying, indescribable power erupted from within him, and his body began to change—inch by inch—into a Great Ape.
Great Ape form. Tenfold amplification.
Sure, it couldn't match Super Saiyan's fiftyfold boost, and the full-moon condition was annoyingly strict.
But it was more than enough to handle this demon, Goye.
"My reason is intact!" Leon clenched his fist, a feral grin splitting the ape's face.
Battle Power: 5,600,000.
"Parlor tricks!"
Demon God Goye sensed something was off, but he still tried to bluff.
Leon moved.
In a few thunderous strides he was in front of Goye, and his fist crashed forward.
Boom!
The punch landed squarely on Goye.
Goye's whole body shuddered.
It felt like he would explode from a single blow—rampaging energy battering him from within.
For the first time, he truly felt the terror of Leon's power.
One punch.
"How can he be this strong?!"
That thought had barely formed when the Demon God was blasted thousands of meters away.
Leon stamped off the ground and shot skyward.
The instant Goye hit the ground, Leon's next punch arrived.
It hammered straight for Goye's skull.
Buzz!
With one ring of impact, Goye's head swam—like he was watching the birth of the universe.
He tried to stagger back, but Leon yanked him forward and drove another fist into his brow.
The fight turned one-sided.
The Great Ape chased the Demon God down and delivered a merciless beating.
Despite the massive frame,
Leon rattled off hundreds of punches in an instant.
Goye's body started to split and come apart.
As a Demon God with black magic, he could restore himself.
But not under this relentless barrage.
The ape before him possessed overwhelming might.
A so-called Demon God—completely no match for Leon.
Of course, a word of thanks to Goye, the "old pal," for donating that 500,000 Battle Power.
Without your gift, even in Great Ape I'd cap at sixty-hundred-thousand.
"Gate of the Dark Dimension!"
Tentacles burst from Goye's body as he tried to open a portal to the Dark Dimension.
He was running!
If he couldn't win, he'd hide in the Dark Dimension. If Leon dared to follow, an endless swarm of dark creatures would "teach him manners."
But Leon was faster.
Before Goye could slip into the portal—
Leon opened his mouth and fired.
A torrenting mouth beam swallowed the freshly forged Dark Dimension gate.
Leon clamped a massive hand over Goye's toad-like head.
"Be good and let me absorb you."
Hellfire!
Black flames erupted over Goye, trying to scorch Leon's body.
Leon didn't flinch. His ki surged, shaving the hellfire away layer by layer. Then his palm liquefied into a pink, viscous mass and began to devour the Demon God.
With Majin Buu's abilities, he could fully claim Goye's power as his own.
And…
He didn't have to worry about any "look" changing—he could still maintain a human form.
"My faithful—offer me all your strength!"
Goye's roar turned bestial. Crimson light flared from his body, and the entirety of Planet Pura lit with the same crimson glow. Those lights streamed back into Goye.
Planet Pura's population dropped by over ninety percent in an instant.
Goye's body swelled, and his power climbed visibly.
He began reclaiming his strength—and along the way, he sucked up his followers' life force and blood-essence to fuel himself.
Battle Power: 3,000,000.
3,500,000.
3,800,000!
4,000,000!
Leon's heart tightened. He poured all his ki into the Majin Buu cells, accelerating the absorption.
Planet Pura: more than six billion souls.
Over ninety percent, dead.
Even if each yielded Goye only a sliver of power, the total could push him beyond Leon's limit.
He had to finish absorbing Goye before that spike stabilized.
4,200,000.
And then…
It stopped rising!
For a beat, the scene turned awkward.
Leon blinked… Seriously?
That's it?
4,200,000 Battle Power.
After slaughtering five billion people, that was all you gained?
That weak?
Goye's struggles grew fiercer—
But that was the ceiling.
5,600,000 crushes 4,200,000. Simple as that.
Leon bared his fangs in a cruel grin and sealed Goye completely.
A pink mass writhed and twisted, thrashed—and finally settled into shape.
Too slow.
Look at Majin Buu: when he absorbed Gohan, it took mere seconds.
But Leon… needed a little longer.
His ki was still too low. The stronger the ki, the more terrifyingly efficient the Majin Buu cells would be.
ROAR!
At last, a Great Ape hundreds of meters tall threw his head back and howled at the moon.
The surviving people of Planet Pura dropped to their knees as one, prostrating before the Great Ape—welcoming the descent of their new god.
