"You're really ruthless! Goku, you punched me in the face! How much do you hate my face? You know I look exactly like you."
Karot emerged from the ruins and addressed Son Goku, rubbing his slightly sore face as he did so.
Hearing Karot's words, Son Goku felt a little embarrassed. But when it came to taking action, he didn't hesitate at all.
"I just got into the swing of things! Besides, your face is such a good target. I just couldn't help myself."
Upon hearing Son Goku's words, Karot's inner turmoil surged instantly.
Was he subtly implying that I have a big face?
Karot shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
After speaking, Karot began to release the energy within his body. Now that his injuries had been completely healed, he no longer needed to suppress his energy and could unleash his full power.
"Ah!"
As Karot's aura gradually increased, the holy land began to undergo a dramatic change. Gale-force winds rose, and thunder and lightning appeared.
"Ha."
The aura emanating from Karot made it difficult for Son Gohan and the others to breathe, as if they were drowning.
Son Gohan and the others retreated repeatedly until they were far enough away that they no longer felt oppressed.
"Is this all the power Karot possesses?"
Even the Supreme Kai was shocked. The power that Son Goku had just displayed had already shattered his understanding, and now Karot was clearly no weaker than Son Goku. In fact, the power that Karot was showing was even stronger than Son Goku's.
No one present could answer his question, after all, Karot had repeatedly defied their expectations.
"I'm here, Goku."
Having said that, Karot stomped his foot and instantly appeared in front of Son Goku. The two immediately began to fight. As they clashed, they slowly began to rise from the ground.
Son Goku threw a punch, Karot transformed his fist into a palm and caught Son Goku. Pulling forward, Son Goku involuntarily yanked Karot into the air, while Karot's fist had been waiting for Son Goku. Son Goku received a heavy blow to the abdomen, his body arching in mid-air. Karot wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by; after all, Son Goku had just given Karot a good beating. Karot wasn't one to wait too long for revenge; he acted immediately.
Son Goku's arched body gave Karot a perfect opportunity. Karot threw a powerful upward punch, hitting Son Goku Wukong squarely in the chin. The attack on Son Goku's chin caused his mind to go blank. Like a rocket launch, he flew straight into the sky.
Karot Instantaneous Movement above Son Goku, waiting patiently for Son Goku arrival. Karot raised his foot in a shooting stance and delivered a powerful kick that struck Son Goku squarely in the back. "Thump!" Son Goku plummeted downwards at an even faster speed.
"Boom."
The ground shook violently, which shows just how powerful Karot's kick was.
"Boom."
Son Goku unleashed his power, blasting away the rubble burying him. He looked up at Karot in the air. Karot had clearly been faster than him during the attack, which was why Son Goku hadn't had time to dodge. It seemed Karot was about to use his full strength.
Then, Son Goku began to remove the weights he was wearing. The clothes and wrists Son Goku was wearing had been reinforced by King Kai's gravity.
Seeing Goku's actions, Karot knew that Son Goku was about to unleash his full power. This was exactly what Karot wanted to see. After all, a Son Goku who could fully utilize his strength was the opponent Karot wanted to fight.
"Piccolo, Goku's action seems familiar."
When Krillin saw Goku starting to take off his clothes and loosen his wrists, he couldn't help but think of Son Goku's battle against Tien Shinhan during the World Martial Arts Tournament.
"Yes!"
Piccolo smirked. Back then, he and Son Goku were the main characters. He never imagined that while Son Goku remained a constant, his opponents would come and go, and now he could only be a spectator.
With his power fully unleashed, Son Goku's strength increased dramatically, and he was evenly matched with Karot in their battle. This was a real hardship for the Kaioshin Realm. The release of their power caused severe damage to the sacred planet.
"How did the holy site become like this?"
A sudden sound rang out behind them. A hunchbacked old man walked towards them, wearing clothes exactly the same as those of the Supreme Kai.
"May I ask who you are?"
The Supreme Kai asked, for this was the first time he had seen the old man on the Kaioshin Realm in all his time there.
"Me? I am the Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the Supreme Kai and Kibito instantly knelt down in front of him.
"Ancestor."
Son Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo were completely dumbfounded; this suddenly appearing old man was of such high seniority.
"Grandmother, why are you only coming back now?"
The Supreme Kai asked. After all, he had been the only Supreme Kai for many years, and the pressure on him was immense. Now that an ancestor had appeared, it was truly a case of "an elder in the family is a treasure."
Upon hearing the Supreme Kai's question, Old Kai looked at him with a look of utter disappointment.
"I have been sealed within the Supreme Kai Sword, waiting for that descendant to be able to pull Supreme Kai Sword out. What a pity!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to glance sideways at the Supreme Kai.
Hearing Old Kai's words, the Supreme Kai looked embarrassed. After all, as far as he could remember, no Supreme Kai had ever been able to draw the Supreme Kai Sword.
"Ancestor, how did you get out today?"
"This is what everyone wants to know," asked the Supreme Kai.
"Thanks so much to those two little ones!"
Old Kai pointed to the fighting Karot and Son Goku. If Karot's Ki Blast hadn't destroyed the mountain where the Supreme Kai Sword embedded and shattered it in the process, Old Kai wouldn't have been able to emerge from there.
"If I wait for you, I might not be able to get out."
Old Kai didn't forget to take a jab at Supreme Kai.
"I've made you suffer, old ancestor."
What could the Supreme Kai say? He could only honestly admit his mistake, given his seniority.
"What's going on with those two? This is a sacred place! When did it turn into a dueling arena? Aren't the other Supreme Kai going to do anything about it?"
Old Kai felt a pang of pain as he looked at the beautiful Kaioshin Realm, now scarred and devastated.
The Supreme Kai quickly told him what had happened after the Old Kai was sealed away. Now there were only the two of them left Supreme Kai.
"I see."
Old Kai never imagined that so many things would happen after he was sealed away.
Old Kai then joined the spectators, since he couldn't stop the battle between Karot and Son Goku.
