By sacrificing his rationality and severing countless potentials, Cell Max's battle power had increased by far too much. He should be about the same as the Super Perfect Cell of the original timeline, possessing a battle power of at least 8 billion!
Cell Max was at 80, while Ino was at 40. How were they supposed to fight this?
Ino had to use the extremely stamina-draining Kaio-ken just to barely block the enemy's mindless, ferocious onslaught.
Gohanks and Son Goku attacked from the left and right. No. 17, No. 18, and Vegeta could also deal some damage. The remaining people, like Son Gohan, Nappa, and Tien Shinhan, dealt relatively low damage.
"Die!" Ino shouted, delivering a head-on side kick.
A large, cobweb-like crack was kicked into the chitinous shell on the side of Cell Max's head. The price was that she was smashed by the bone hammer on Cell Max's tail, sent flying over a thousand meters away, and couldn't stand up for quite a while.
"Senzu Bean!"
"Alright!"
"Give me another one!"
"Catch!"
Son Goku's Super Saiyan Full Power had a battle power of around 4 billion as well. Whenever Ino retreated to eat a Senzu Bean and replenish her stamina, he would be the one to forcibly step up and attack.
"Hah... Hah..." Ino regulated her breathing for a moment. Using Yin-Yang Release, she raised her hand and shot out four sharp black rod javelins.
Cell Max raised his arm to parry, and all four javelins pierced into the chitinous shell on his arm. However, the energy javelins, which were over a meter long, only pierced halfway in before losing their penetrative power.
No. 17's body spun lightly in mid-air. Exerting force with his feet, he stomped down hard on one of the javelins. What was originally halfway in now pierced two-thirds of the way into the flesh.
No. 18 understood implicitly and performed the same action on the other end.
The two Androids each grabbed a third of the javelin handles. With a loud shout, their bodies vaulted up, spinning clockwise around Cell Max's arm.
With a muffled "splat," a large amount of blood, bone, and minced meat flowed down as a result of their twisting motion.
Cell looked down at his arm, which was now connected by only a bit of skin and flesh, and couldn't help but let out a furious roar.
"Destructo Disc!" Krillin shouted, appearing at the side at just the right moment.
Taking advantage of the moment Cell Max swatted No. 17 and No. 18 away like flies, he covertly threw out his signature technique.
The last bit of skin and flesh connecting the arm was severed, and a third of the right arm fell with a crash.
"Attack! Don't stop! Don't give him a chance to regenerate his limb!" Piccolo shouted loudly to remind everyone.
"Watch me!" Ino shouted, teleporting above Cell Max's arm.
Pressing down with both hands, she used her petrification ability to turn the remaining half of his right arm still connected to his body into stone.
This petrification was not very stable, and the conversion rate was very low. It was more like a tug-of-war between two different attributes of energy. However, as long as it could buy a little time, it was enough.
Everyone launched wave after wave of fierce attacks.
"Masenko!"
"Special Beam Cannon!"
"Piercing Cannon!"
"Kamehameha!"
Even Ino fired a continuous barrage of "Death Beams" from afar.
Under everyone's repeated focused fire and the ongoing tug-of-war, Cell Max's body became increasingly battered.
Regenerating his body required stamina, and maintaining this massive frame of over ten meters also consumed a tremendous amount of stamina. This was essentially Piccolo's overt scheme.
When Cell Max raised his fist to violently smash the ground, and Ino activated her golden Susanoo to raise a shield and parry, No. 17 instantly accelerated.
His subconscious sensing danger, Cell Max let out a furious roar and attempted to swat this little fly away. Ino controlled her Susanoo to firmly bear-hug him.
No. 17's entire body glowed with a translucent circular energy shield. His original defensive skill turned from defense to offense. After accelerating with all his might, he changed the shape of the shield into a sharp cone and slammed violently into Cell Max's head.
Cell Max's skull had already been bombarded in turns by everyone for several rounds and was covered in cracks. At this moment, it could no longer withstand No. 17's full-power strike.
With a muffled "splat."
Bearing the conical shield, No. 17 forcefully charged into his brain. When he burst out from the other side of the head, the young man with the red scarf had a smile on his lips, clutching a sticky, unidentifiable colored lump of flesh in his hand.
"Let's see how you resurrect this time."
He crushed this core, which was equivalent to a brain and nerve center. Feeling that this method of execution still wasn't clean enough, he simply used shockwaves to completely disintegrate the lump of flesh.
Without a brain, Cell Max opened his mouth wide like a fish out of water. His massive body crashed to the ground, and he quickly lost his life force. Under everyone's watchful eyes, his body turned into flying ash.
This guy was dead, having died in the Seventh Universe. There was nothing that could be done about it.
Son Goku used Instant Transmission to take everyone back to Earth, while Ino headed to the underworld to deal with Cell's soul.
Relying on the Soul Cleaning Machine, it was very difficult to purify the evil hidden within Cell's soul. Even with only a soul and no body, this guy was still absurdly strong.
Under Ino's suppression, the personnel in the underworld washed Cell's soul like a car, repeatedly scrubbing it several times. Afterward, they divided, weakened, neutralized, and sealed the muddled soul. The turmoil caused by Cell was finally and completely brought to an end.
Future Trunks took a month-long leave of absence and returned to his own point in time, eliminating the Cell of his timeline.
...
Son Gohan did not reach the heights everyone had expected, which was somewhat regrettable. However, neither Son Goku nor Piccolo pushed him too hard. After all, he was only a nine-year-old child; he could continue to work hard in the future.
Son Goku put his yellow vest back on and went to deliver packages with Monaka, while Vegeta was frantically changing baby Trunks' diapers.
Dr. Hedo was hired by Capsule Corporation, becoming its youngest employee. The credit for defeating Cell was accepted by Mr. Satan, officially making him Earth's hero.
In February of the following year, when Son Goku was twenty-nine years old, his second son, Son Goten, was born.
With the delivery job, their family's income level visibly increased. Chichi looked much younger than she did in the original timeline. When she had free time, she would go get beauty treatments and shop for clothes with Bulma. Their days were becoming sweeter and sweeter...
This year, Ino was twenty-seven years old. The two children in her family had also celebrated their respective eighth birthdays, gradually shedding their childishness and visibly developing in the direction of little beauties.
...
Ino commissioned Pilaf to build a Super Dragon Ball Radar that looked like a TV signal receiver. One year after the Cell Games, she arrived in the Sixth Universe once again. This time, before she could even "enter the door," she was stopped.
With a high ponytail, blue skin, and a green robe, holding a staff in her hand, the Angel of the Sixth Universe, Vados, blocked Ino's path.
Vados was Whis's older sister, as well as the teacher and servant of the Sixth Universe's Destroyer, Champa. At this moment, she asked with some confusion, "From the Seventh Universe... You are an Apprentice Supreme Kai? Instead of staying in your Seventh Universe, why do you keep running over to the Sixth Universe?"
Ino wasn't surprised at all.
If she had only come once or twice, they might have ignored her. But she was running over here every few days; if Vados still didn't show up, that would be truly abnormal.
She coughed slightly.
"Big sister Vados, listen to my explanation..."
