Swallowed

With a thud, Sephiria's body was slammed to the ground by the Great Ape's tail. The violent force penetrated her body, instantly causing severe damage to Sephiria internal organs, and she couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

Puff!

Blood mist instantly billowed out, and Sephiria's face turned deathly pale. Just then, the berserk Great Ape roared once more, raising its foot to stomp out forcefully, intending to crush Sephiria to death.

"Full Air Strike!"

The endless, trembling power was unleashed. In her haste, Sephiria used her trump card. As this energy was unleashed, a dazzling light illuminated the horizon. However, when "Full Air Strike" struck the Great Ape, its effect was minimal. The Great Ape let out a low roar, and the force of its stomp directly shattered Sephiria's attack.

Bang!

The earth trembled violently, and the sturdy Thunderbolt Steel directly withstood the Great Ape's ferocious power.

Feeling that its feet had slipped, the Great Ape, having failed to kill its prey, became even more agitated. It swung its arms and roared, the terrifying sound waves immediately causing a slight stinging pain in Sephiria's eardrums and a strong sense of nausea rising within her.

Just then, the Great Ape's two terrifying eyes fixed on Sephiria, and it suddenly swung its fist at her. Upon seeing this, Sephiria quickly activated Instant Transmission, her body moving lightly, and then she once again gathered energy blades, preparing to cut off the Great Ape's tail.

Pop!

The Great Ape suddenly turned its head, its gaping maw aimed at Sephiria, and an energy ball formed in its mouth. Sephiria's pupils contracted sharply, and she reflexively tilted her body towards it.

With a whoosh, the colossal pillar of energy roared out, a powerful energy cannon capable of destroying a planet grazing past Sephiria. The fierce gale nearly tore Sephiria's Battle Suit to shreds. Although Sephiria dodged the attack, her body was still severely injured.

The two injuries combined immediately put her in a very bad condition.

Keep in mind that Roland in his Great Ape Transformation form has a combat power of 940,000—even if Sephiria's strength increased after her ape transformation, she would only have a combat power of 200,000, which is still no match for Great Ape Roland. A single cannon shot from him would be enough to kill her.

A fierce wind howled, filling the air with a suffocating atmosphere. Sephiria stared at the Great Ape, her face pale. She was exhausted from dodging Great Ape attacks. Teleporting several thousand meters away from the Great Ape, Sephiria gritted her teeth, her face turning even paler.

"Damn it, this is getting more and more troublesome." Resisting the pressure from the Great Ape, a chill filled Sephiria's entire body.

She took a Senzu Bean from her pocket and popped it into her mouth. The energy contained in the Senzu Bean instantly dispelled Sephiria's fatigue, and her body returned to its peak condition.

However, Sephiria had no good solutions when faced with the powerful Great Ape.

"Let's try to cut off Roland's tail again. If that doesn't work, we'll have to destroy the moon and wait for him to automatically exit his Great Ape state." Sephiria was a proud person, and she really didn't want to resort to such escapist measures unless absolutely necessary.

With her fair brows furrowing slightly, Sephiria adjusted herself to her optimal state and then attacked the Great Ape.

As they approached the Great Ape, the enraged Great Ape also spotted Sephiria.

The Great Ape coiled its tail around its waist, giving Sephiria no chance to strike.

A fist hurtled toward Sephiria at incredible speed.

Bang!

Sephiria tried to block with both arms, and a shockwave radiated outwards, but the Great Ape's strength far surpassed Sephiria's. Her body instantly collapsed, and she was sent flying.

"Puff!!"

The injuries she sustained this time were even more severe than before; her Battle Suit shattered instantly, and several of her bones broke. Fortunately, the Great Ape's movements were greatly restricted after losing its mind, and although the strength it displayed was immense, it ultimately allowed Sephiria to survive.

"There's no other way. It seems we have no choice but to destroy the moon." Sephiria wiped the blood from her mouth and struggled to heal her injuries with Senzu Bean.

A pale energy ball materialized in her hand, ready to destroy the moon in one fell swoop. As Sephiria aimed at the moon, just as she was about to launch her attack, she heard Launch's panicked cries. Turning around, she saw that the irrational Great Ape had now set its sights on Launch was flying through the sky holding the Dragon Ball.

The speed of the Flying Nimbus was nowhere near that of the Great Ape, and it looked as if Launch was about to be swallowed whole by the Great Ape.

"Damn it, why is he eyeing Launch again?!"

With time of the essence, Sephiria had no time to think further and decisively fired the energy blast originally intended to destroy the moon towards the Great Ape's mouth.

With a deafening roar, the energy blast entered the Great Ape's mouth. The terrifying energy explosion caused the Great Ape immense pain. Enraged Great Ape leaped and bounded about, furiously slashing its palm through the air, creating a series of chaotic storms. A world-class storm formed on the Space Island.

Wow~~~

Launch screamed and dodged around while clutching the Red Dragon Ball, but in the fierce wind, the Flying Nimbus she was riding was quickly scattered, and Launch and the Red Dragon Ball both fell from the sky.

The Great Ape, over fifty meters tall, was like a small mountain. When it opened its mouth, its gaping maw was like the entrance to an abyss; anyone swallowed by it would surely die.

Seeing this, Sephiria transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed to Launch's side, catching her. However, she could only watch helplessly as the Red Dragon Ball fell naturally and entered the Great Ape's mouth.

Cough cough... After the Red Dragon Ball entered its mouth, the Great Ape started coughing and stopped attacking Sephiria and Launch.

Aww~~~

A dragon's roar suddenly resounded from the Great Ape's mouth, followed by a surge of deep red energy rising within Great Ape body, quickly overshadowing the Great Ape's own ferocious power. The deep red energy swirled around the Great Ape's body, swirling and moving as if full of life.

The Great Ape, which had been raging, suddenly quieted down and stood there in a daze.

A glimmer of reason returned to his blood-red eyes.

"What happened?" Launch asked, her voice trembling slightly as she hugged Sephiria tightly around the shoulders.

Sephiria carefully observed the Great Ape's condition, and said somewhat uncertainly, "After swallowing that Red Dragon Ball, the Great Ape seems to be regaining its senses."

"The Dragon Ball was eaten, so it should be alright, right?" Launch asked worriedly.

"It seems there shouldn't be any major problems now." Sephiria wasn't entirely sure either, and could only take it one step at a time. However, the Red Dragon Ball had helped the Great Ape's cultivation before, so it shouldn't be particularly harmful!
