"G-Goku, is, is it okay?" Although he came with Goku, when standing face-to-face with Cell, Krillin already regretted it. This energy... was who knows how many times stronger than Super Saiyan Goku!
"It completely surpasses the Super Saiyan. This is bad, I don't feel like I can win at all." Although Goku said this, the corner of his mouth curled up into an irrepressible smile. This only made him, with the blood of a fighting race flowing through his veins, even more excited!
Countless ordinary people watching the live stream felt their faces change drastically upon hearing Goku's words.
'Hey, hey, hey! Big shot, don't scare us like that! After all, you're one of the only two hopes in the entire universe right now!'
"You came at just the right time! Goku!" Dr. Gero, extremely excited, pointed at Goku, his wrinkled old face overflowing with ecstatic joy. "Go! Cell! Kill Goku! This is the very purpose for which you were created!"
Whoosh~
Just then, Lott also arrived using Instant Transmission. However, compared to Goku and the others, who focused all their attention on Cell, Lott directly turned his gaze towards No. 18, who had one foot just stepped out of the cultivation pod but hadn't yet landed, still in shock from her brother being consumed.
"Hmph~" In response to Dr. Gero's command, Cell neither showed submission nor opposition.
He just snorted coldly and shot a glance at Goku. For trainers… Cough, for warriors, once their eyes meet, it's the signal to start the battle!
Whoosh- Boom-
A wave of Ki centered on Goku, golden Ki flames rippling outwards. The entire research institute was instantly blown away. No. 18's blonde hair was whipped into a frenzy. She was almost blown away herself.
The moment her feet left the ground, she was grabbed by a large hand. No. 18 looked at the owner of this large hand in astonishment.
On the other side, Goku had transformed into his Super Saiyan form.
Like Cell earlier, white lightning arcs crackled over the surface of his golden Ki flames.
Super Saiyan 2 form! No, it should be said it was the peak of Super Saiyan 1, but still one last step away from Super Saiyan 2.
The next instant, the Super Saiyan Goku shot skyward, the mere recoil from his feet completely shattering the ground beneath him!
"He's gotten stronger too!" Asamiya Athena, who was with Kagura Chizuru and Shiranui Mai, and another Athena from the Planet Saint Seiya, reincarnated as Kido Saori, simultaneously exclaimed in shock.
"Everyone! Stand back!" The airborne Super Saiyan Goku shouted. He brought his hands together in a cupping shape at his side, a dazzling blue-white light glowing between them. He's going for the ultimate move right from the start!
"Ka-me-ha-me-"
The Piccolo, Krillin, and others below were dumbfounded.
Piccolo: "Goku! Are you serious?!"
Krillin: "C-c-c-calm down! Goku! If that move is dodged by Cell, then the Earth will...!"
Even if they weren't planet-busting experts, even ordinary families like the Yukinoshitas or even the Noharas, who had watched a few videos, knew how dangerous it was for Goku to fire a Kamehameha from that angle! If Cell dodged it, the Kamehameha would blast through the Earth's core!
However, there was no change in Cell's expression, and he still maintained a faint smile.
Whoosh-
Just as everyone in the group thought Goku might have lost his cool due to fear of Cell, the Super Saiyan Goku suddenly vanished, appearing behind Cell. At the same time, he thrust both hands forward.
"-HA!!"
In the roaring blue-white shockwave, the world shook simultaneously.
If one looked at Earth from space, they would see a thin blue-white beam emerging from one side of the planet, like a tail passing through the star river, shattering countless meteors and asteroids along the way.
Instant Transmission Kamehameha!
When they saw Goku's Kamehameha perfectly hit Cell in the footage, the astonishment in many people's eyes turned to delight.
[Kazuma: Yosh! Yosh!! As expected of Big Bro Goku! Defeated in one move!]
[Sasuke: Did he take him down that easily?]
[Kyoraku Shunsui: Don't celebrate too early. That Cell has absorbed the cells of so many strong beings in the universe over the years. Who knows what kind of power he's hiding?]
…
As the Instant Transmission Kamehameha gradually faded, there was nothing left in front of Goku. Whether mountains, land, or sky... all had been annihilated into nothingness, including... Cell's body.
"Ha... haha... He's done for, right? He's done for?" In the underground base on the Planet Ling Cage, Mo Cheng, a former Hunter Squad's member who had joined Bai Yuekui's squad, grinned expectantly.
"He must have been blown to bits! Hahaha!" Yamagata wrapped an arm around Mo Cheng's shoulders, jumping and shouting.
"As expected of Goku." However, at that moment, Cell's voice rang out. He had actually appeared behind Goku! The smiles on Mo Cheng and Yamagata's faces froze instantly.
The camera panned slightly, showing Cell standing safe and sound with his back to Goku.
"Izanagi?" Tsunade murmured in speculation. She had heard that the Uchiha Clan had an ultimate Genjutsu that could distort reality at the cost of one eye.
Just now, Goku's Kamehameha had clearly hit Cell. She had sensed it. But Cell had appeared behind Goku out of thin air. Tsunade guessed it must be because Cell used Izanagi!
At this moment, Cell turned his head halfway. And his appearance startled everyone once again. The upper half of Cell's face was covered in a strange, flowing black substance, with countless eyes wriggling on it like tadpoles. It looked creepy!
"Is that... Yhwach's!?" The faces of Kyoraku, Rukia, and the others from the new Gotei 13 changed drastically.
Back when Yhwach absorbed the Soul King, he turned into this appearance! But he didn't get to activate his ability before Cell killed him.
"I remember the name of this ability is called..." Rukia murmured, trying to recall.
And Cell in the live stream had already spoken the name of this technique-
"The Almighty." The upper half of his face was covered, but the corner of Cell's mouth on the lower half of his face curled into an irrepressible, smug smile. "The ability to see the future and alter it. Wasn't it a waste on a good-for-nothing like Yhwach? Only I can perfectly utilize its power."
'See and alter the future!?' Hearing Cell's explanation, the faces of experienced fighters like Kakashi, Chin Gentsai, and Seiya, who, while not overwhelmingly powerful, had rich combat experience, turned pale.
'What kind of OP ability is this? Being able to see the future is troublesome enough. But you can actually alter it too? Aren't you just cheating?!'
"What's so surprising? Isn't it just a high-spec version of Izanagi?" Lott interjected coldly: "Goku, can you handle it? Want me to take over?"
Goku was slightly taken aback, then assumed a fighting stance and chuckled lightly, "No, I can still manage."
Goku knew in his heart that this ability was troublesome. But precisely because of that, he was even more excited!
A bead of sweat trickled down Bai Yuekui's cheek as she gently bit her pink lip. "He's actually enjoying such a dangerous situation. Truly a monster."
Bai Yuekui and the others suddenly understood why these guys like Goku were so strong. Bloodline was one aspect, but more important was their mentality. Facing such a terrifying opponent, they could actually feel enjoyment.
Goku suddenly charged forward, throwing a straight punch first. Ripples even appeared in the air. However, when his fist hit Cell's abdomen, it felt like hitting air. No sensation at all.
'Did he rewrite the future where he was hit?'
"Here!" Goku, who no longer needed to place fingers on his forehead to use Instant Transmission, flashed to the right rear. A side kick struck Cell's temple. But his body disappeared again like an illusion.
Clearly, he had used The Almighty ability to rewrite the future again.
"The future, I can rewrite it all. Any technique is useless against me." Cell said with indifference and absolute confidence.
"That might not necessarily be true." Goku's speed increased even faster than before. Before Cell's body could reappear, he rushed to the three o'clock direction.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Cell's body, having just rewritten the future, was materializing. A punch landed squarely on Cell's face! Cell was sent flying directly.
With a thunderous roar, his body crashed into a mountain range at the edge of the sky.
