Before anyone could even react to the chaos, a golden bolt of lightning ripped through the air — the shockwave alone sent soldiers and onlookers tumbling to the ground in panic.
That was No. 18's doing.
One area attack, and she'd turned hundreds of soldiers into useless spectators.
"A bunch of trash," she muttered coldly.
In the next second, she vanished — then reappeared in front of Abomination like a golden streak.
Her right fist tightened, energy surging through her arm as she drove an uppercut straight into Abomination's chin.
The yellow brute's eyes went wide in horror — his brain could barely process what was happening.
Bang!
A deafening impact shook the ground, and Abomination was launched like a meteor, crashing into the earth with a thunderous boom.
The watching crowd could only stare, stunned, as a massive crater opened before them — and there she was, No. 18, one foot planted on the monster's back, victorious and untouchable.
Even so, Abomination wasn't dead yet. His monstrous vitality kept his heart faintly beating.
Slowly, his healing factor kicked in — bones cracking back into place, muscles writhing.
No. 18 tilted her head, a playful smirk on her lips.
"Heh… not bad. You've got some fight in you."
Her eyes glinted dangerously. "Too bad that's the end of it."
Just as she raised her hand to finish him off—
"Quick! Open fire! Suppress her!" General Thaddeus Ross' voice roared through the comms.
Gunfire and small missiles filled the sky.
No one dared use the Ex-Wife missile again — if it hit, Abomination would be vaporized while the woman would probably walk away without a scratch.
"Lali, need a hand?" Leo's voice came through the comm, his tone casual but concerned.
"No need, naughty Master," No. 18 replied sweetly, a smile tugging at her lips. "But thanks for worrying."
Without even looking up, she spread her hand — and an oval-shaped energy shield shimmered into existence, deflecting everything.
Ding ding ding! Clang clang clang!
Bullets and rockets exploded harmlessly on the barrier, leaving General Ross's men slack jawed.
"What the hell…?"
"Invincible defense?! What kind of mutant is she?!"
Before anyone could answer, the sky exploded with light.
No. 18 rose slowly, her body glowing — blindingly bright, pure white energy building around her palm.
"Energy Blast!!"
Her voice rang like a bell — and a brilliant, disc-shaped blade of energy spun into existence.
It sliced through the air, screaming toward Abomination, who was barely standing.
Pfft!
The glowing disc cut straight through his thick neck as if it were paper.
The yellow brute's head rolled twice, stopping right at the feet of the green giant nearby.
Hulk blinked — then grinned.
He'd never liked that ugly bastard anyway.
Splatter!
With one stomp, Hulk crushed the head like a watermelon.
Just like that, Emil Blonsky, the so-called Abomination, ceased to exist.
No. 18 landed gracefully, clapping her hands with a grin.
"See, Master? Am I awesome or what?"
Leo smirked and gave her a thumbs-up. "Hell yeah, Super Heroine."
Then his expression changed.
"Behind you!"
Before she could react, Hulk roared — the sound tearing through the air as he charged like a tank, eyes wild with fury.
Abomination's death had only fueled his rage.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Each step cracked the ground, leaving deep footprints in the mud.
"Roar!!"
Despite his size, Hulk moved fast. His massive fist — bigger than No. 18's entire torso — came crashing down toward her head.
But she didn't move.
Her eyes locked onto his, calm and unshaken.
Just because you're big… doesn't mean you're stronger.
She met his punch head-on.
BOOM!
The shockwave ripped through the battlefield, uprooting trees and scattering debris like confetti.
A storm of dust and energy followed — then silence.
When the smoke cleared, Hulk had been driven back several steps, his feet sinking into the earth. He shook his arm, grimacing — his entire limb felt numb.
Across from him, No. 18 stood perfectly fine, lips curved in that same infuriating smile.
From afar, General Ross watched in disbelief. He'd seen the Hulk take missiles to the face without flinching — yet this woman had just hurt him with a punch?
"System," Leo muttered quietly. "What level is No. 18? She's even stronger than Hulk in his normal form."
[Host, No. 18 currently possesses Skyfather-level power in this world. In the Dragon Ball Universe, her combat power reached forty-six million — a ridiculously exaggerated figure.]
[The Dragon Ball world's power scaling defies logic. Even with combat powers in the billions, immortality remains rare.]
Leo chuckled. "Figures."
Meanwhile, Hulk steadied himself, rage burning hotter. He charged again — but No. 18 was already there, faster than his mind could follow.
Her fist slammed into his jaw with a sharp crack! — a green tooth went flying.
Green blood splattered the ground.
"Hulk… lost a tooth?!" Even General Ross couldn't believe it.
Their weapons could barely bruise the Hulk — yet this woman had just punched a tooth clean out.
