Uncle Bao's Grandson Gohan

Perhaps it was because the heavens took pity on Yamcha, or perhaps because the arrival of Frieza had made the Androids far too strong, causing their egos to inflate.

Regardless, the one targeted by the Androids this time was not that unlucky kid Yamcha, but the alarmingly green King Piccolo.

His luck was better than Yamcha's, however; he was discovered by Gohan the moment Android 19 launched its sneak attack.

While others might be mama's boys or papa's boys, Gohan was a "Piccolo's boy"—not the historical figure Qin Shubao, but the kind of boy who was simply closer to his uncle.

Seeing his Uncle Piccolo ambushed by the Android, Gohan was instantly enraged, transforming into a Super Saiyan without a second thought.

His combat power, a full 400 million, surged to 600 million under the bonus of his rage! (Gohan's rage has a cap, which varies randomly.)

With one kick, he sent Android 19 flying.

The furious Gohan could not control himself, indirectly causing 19 to smash through countless flowers, plants, and skyscrapers, turning the small island into a scene of utter chaos.

Fortunately, there were plenty of Supermen here, so things didn't spiral into the worst-case scenario; at most, there was just a bit of property damage.

Just how terrifying was the enraged Gohan?

You could tell by the dented face of 19. One must remember that Android 19 possessed an energy level of 600 million, and this energy level was equivalent to his ki.

Android 19 could not control his body at all, only coming to a stop after crashing into another small island.

At this moment, all the warriors rushed toward the scene, accompanied by Android 20, Dr. Gero himself.

Originally, Son Goku should have been the first to step up, but Gohan, in his rage, didn't play by the rules at all, unleashing a frantic barrage of attacks on Android 19.

19 did indeed have an energy level of 600 million, but after being blindsided by Gohan, his energy had dropped significantly, which was why Gohan was able to suppress him.

"Is Gohan really this strong? This ki is truly intense; I feel it's even stronger than when Son Goku first returned to Earth!"

Tien Shinhan remarked with deep emotion, while Yamcha and Chiaotzu nodded in agreement, and Krillin felt proud of his nephew.

Since Son Goku was his fellow disciple, Gohan was naturally Krillin's nephew.

"Ah—! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

Gohan's fighting style was different from the others; he liked to shout while he fought, which made him seem exceptionally imposing.

As the battle dragged on, the energy stored within Android 19's body plummeted; the current 19 was left with less than 400 million in energy.

He began to panic!

When Gohan first erupted, his combat power had soared to 600 million, but as his stamina waned and the burst ended, Gohan actually had less than 400 million in combat power himself.

Moreover, despite Gohan being the aggressor and appearing incredibly ferocious, he was well aware that if this dragged on, he wouldn't be able to outlast the Android.

"Masenko!!!"

Gohan placed his hands against his forehead, and a massive energy blast surged toward Android 19.

Frieza stood in the distance, shaking his head in disappointment at the sight.

Gohan was courting death!

Sure enough, when Android 20 saw this, he immediately laughed.

Android 19, facing the blast head-on, revealed an evil smirk at the corner of his mouth. King Piccolo happened to catch this expression and inwardly cursed, "Not good!"

Android 19 smirked, holding his palms out to meet the Masenko; in the center of his palms, there was a glass-like orb.

A miraculous scene unfolded: Gohan's energy blast was absorbed directly by Android 19!

Gohan gasped for air, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

Android 19 burst into hearty laughter.

"Ha!!"

With a loud shout from the Android, the rubble around his body was instantly swept away, and Frieza watched as Android 19's energy level returned to 600 million.

It seemed 600 million was the limit for Android 19, not like in the original story where he could gain another hundred million or so after absorbing energy blasts.

Whoosh—

Android 19 began his counterattack, launching a headbutt toward Gohan with astonishing speed that even created a sonic boom.

"Not good!"

"Gohan, dodge!"

"Get out of the way, Gohan!!"

The shouts of the others finally snapped Gohan out of his shock, and he flared his ki again, attempting to dodge.

Unfortunately, his stamina was already depleted, and combined with his momentary lapse, his movements were a step too slow; he couldn't avoid Android 19's attack in time.

If Gohan were hit by this, he would at least be severely injured, if not killed. The lightning-rod-like protrusions on 19's head were not just for decoration; they were things that could pierce Gohan right through.

At the critical moment, one had to rely on an uncle; fathers and the like were simply unreliable.

Long before he realized something was wrong with 19, King Piccolo had already shed his weighted gear, his combat power surging by another 50 million to reach 450 million.

Just as Gohan failed to dodge, King Piccolo rushed in front of him, crossing his arms in a defensive stance to block Android 19's fierce strike.

Bang!!!

A thunderous roar echoed across the heavens and earth, the sound waves rippling into the sea and causing countless fish to float to the surface, bellies up, as if dying with their eyes wide open.

Despite a power gap of 150 million, Piccolo ultimately managed to block this lethal strike from Android 19.

Although his hand had been pierced through, he was a man who possessed the Body Extension Technique; such a minor injury was of no consequence.

Vegeta stood with his arms crossed over his chest, showing not a flicker of emotion at the scene unfolding before him.

Son Goku, on the other hand—perhaps realizing he had failed to fulfill his duties as a father—launched an attack in a fit of rage.

Whoosh~!

The golden wave of energy surging into the sky signaled the fire of fury burning within Son Goku's heart.

Swish!

Bang!

Clang~~!

With this single strike, the small island was nearly driven into the seabed, and Android 19 was smashed straight through the island, plummeting deep into the ocean floor.

Son Goku Combat Power: 650 million!

That momentary burst of rage had caused Son Goku to jump from 600 million to 650 million; such was the Saiyan race, governed by their emotions.

Sigh~

Frieza felt a bit bored; he simply couldn't muster any interest in a battle like this. He would be better off finding Supreme Kai Shin to discuss the meaning of life or play a game of Gomoku to pass the time.

Just as Frieza was about to leave, he suddenly sensed Son Goku's energy plummeting rapidly, dropping from 650 million down to a mere 300 million in an instant!

This rate of decline was absolutely abnormal!

If he had been caught by the android and had his energy drained, it would have made sense.

But Son Goku had only just unleashed his power, and with a single kick, he had sent Android 19 sinking to the seabed—the latter hadn't even emerged from the depths yet!

It wasn't just Frieza who noticed Son Goku's condition; everyone saw it, their faces etched with expressions of disbelief.

Only Vegeta wore a look of deep contemplation.

Boom~!

Android 19 suddenly erupted from the ground, slamming into Son Goku and sending him flying, followed by a relentless barrage of heavy blows that left Son Goku unable to mount any form of resistance.

Not only that, but Son Goku's energy continued to plummet.

When Son Goku was struck down to the ground once more by Android 19, creating a massive crater, he could no longer even maintain his Super Saiyan form!

"Dad!!"

"Goku!"

"Goku!"

"Old Son!!"

"Hmph~ Kakarot, that useless waste!"

"Oh ho ho ho~~~"
