Judging by the pressure the Android was putting on Sun Yu, his battle power was at least twenty thousand. Eight thousand against twenty thousand—there was no suspense in a fight like this.
Suddenly, Sun Yu's body instinctively jerked backward to dodge. The next moment, a blast of energy shot past him. The deep-blue energy sphere slammed into the surface of the West Ocean, then exploded. A towering wave hundreds of meters high erupted from the calm sea, and the entire ocean churned violently.
"That was close! That was close!" Sun Yu thought, patting his chest with lingering fear. That blast had been incredibly powerful. And the most infuriating part was that it had been his own energy, absorbed by the Android and used to kill him!
"Ready to die?" The Android appeared in front of Sun Yu in an instant. With a sudden, sinister grin, he raised both fists high and smashed them down at Sun Yu's head.
Bam! The world spun around Sun Yu. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell limply from the sky.
But Sun Yu barely dropped at all. The Android flashed into position beneath him, crouched, and kicked him in the stomach with all his strength. Sun Yu spat out another mouthful of blood and was sent flying high into the air.
It seemed the Android was deliberately taking revenge on Sun Yu. He was paying him back with exactly the same treatment Sun Yu had given him earlier.
Watching from a distance, Dr. Briefs and Bulma felt their hearts jolt. They knew how powerful Sun Yu was, yet the boy they regarded as a godlike figure was now being beaten helplessly by someone who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Big Brother Sun Yu..." Bulma gazed at Sun Yu as he fell from the sky, her bright eyes veiled with tears.
"Bulma, don't worry. Your Big Brother Sun Yu won't be defeated so easily. You have to believe in him!" Dr. Briefs crouched down, patted Bulma's head, and reassured her.
Sun Yu was now covered in blood, with who knew how many broken bones. The Android lifted him by the neck and grinned eerily. "Kid, you're still alive? You won't be for much longer. You should have a little energy left inside you, right? Hahaha... It's all mine now..."
As he spoke, a faint glow appeared in the hand gripping Sun Yu's neck. Sun Yu felt the last scraps of energy in his body become restless, all surging toward the Android's palm.
This is bad! Sun Yu struggled to break free, but he was completely spent and couldn't escape the Android's grasp.
If he let the Android drain all the energy from his body, he was sure to die. He had to find a way to stop him from absorbing it—but how?
As the energy in his body gradually ran dry, Sun Yu's vision blurred. His head lolled to one side, and in his eyes, he could just make out the setting sun.
Am I going to die? Sun Yu thought. The ridiculous thing was, he was still wearing his Weighted Gear. Since the Android's battle power couldn't be detected, Sun Yu had never expected the fight to end so quickly. If he'd taken the gear off beforehand, he might have had a tiny chance! Death was a natural part of life, but who wouldn't want to live a little longer? A bitter smile tugged at Sun Yu's lips. He had already experienced death once when he'd crossed over into this world. Honestly, dying felt awful.
Especially in that final instant, when it was as if he'd been cast into an endless abyss. There was no sound, no light—only darkness! He couldn't hear or feel anything. There was only darkness, a despairing darkness...
Gradually, a dense aura of death gathered around Sun Yu. The energy in his body was gone, and his heartbeat had stopped.
"Heh, dead already?" The Android pursed his lips in displeasure. After carefully scanning Sun Yu's body, he was completely certain Sun Yu was dead. Then he casually tossed him into the vast West Ocean.
"Big Brother Sun Yu!" Seeing this, Bulma burst into tears.
Dr. Briefs hugged his daughter, then ordered the pilot in a low voice, "Open fire on that man! Does this plane have any missiles? Blow him to ashes!"
"R-Report, Boss! This plane isn't armed. Only Team Two has weapons; ours is a civilian aircraft!" the pilot said nervously.
"Then call in all of Team Two's fighter planes! That man killed Mr. Sun. We have to avenge him!" Briefs roared at the pilot.
The pilot quickly used the communications equipment to summon all the fighter planes that had been searching for Sun Yu earlier. Before long, all kinds of armed aircraft filled the skies above the sea.
"Reporting, Boss. All Team Two fighter planes are in position. Awaiting your orders!"
"Open fire! Give him everything you've got!"
At Dr. Briefs's command, every armed aircraft launched a fierce attack on the Android. But how could ordinary human weapons possibly harm an Android whose battle power had already surpassed the limits of detection?
Facing a sky full of missiles and Gatling-gun fire, the Android sneered and instantly charged at a combat helicopter. He punched its windshield. With a loud BANG, thick black smoke billowed from inside the helicopter, and it wobbled as it plunged toward the sea.
After bringing down one aircraft, the Android seemed to grow even more excited. He darted toward the next fighter and kicked off its tail, causing it to explode in midair.
Watching the Android sweep through the fighter planes like a force of nature, Briefs's pilot was so terrified he nearly fainted. He screamed, "Boss, we... we have to get out of here! Or he'll kill us!"
"Th-This..." Briefs stood there, stunned. He might have been good at scientific research, but when faced with a life-or-death crisis like this, he had no idea what to do.
Just as the Android was about to attack Dr. Briefs's plane, an unusual string of bubbles rose to the surface of the sea below.
It was Sun Yu. At the moment when his life had hung by a thread, he had touched the threshold of the realm of life and death. Because he had experienced death once before, it was easier for him to comprehend that realm again.
And so, with a single thought, life and death shifted at his will. At that critical moment, Sun Yu broke through the Knowledge Realm and entered a state of suspended death, successfully deceiving the Android's detection.
Now, the will to live within Sun Yu was reviving. Images flashed through his mind, one after another: Lana, Bulma, the scene of Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta, and...
An unprecedented will to survive surged within Sun Yu. He wanted to live. He wanted to grow stronger, take control of his own destiny, and protect the people who mattered to him!
Suddenly, Sun Yu's pupils widened, and two black tomoe appeared in succession along the edges of his irises.
Another black tomoe appeared in each of his eyes, symmetrically positioned on either side of his pupils. That was the Double Tomoe Sharingan from Naruto!
