Karochi didn't finish the opponent off right away. That damn thing had actually dared to think of something he'd never even considered. Letting it die that easily would've been far too kind!!
Karochi even wanted to put it through the Ten Most Brutal Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, slicing it into a thousand pieces and tearing it limb from limb!!!
"Karochi, be careful! That damn thing isn't dead yet!!" Tights was furious too, her face flushed an unusual red with rage.
"Don't worry, Big Sis Tights. Your little bro will absolutely get revenge for you!!"
Lightning seemed to flicker through the smoke! Karochi didn't care in the slightest. As if I could possibly screw this up. If I do, I'll cut off my own balls.
Crackle, crackle~~~!!
A thick bolt of lightning shot toward Karochi.
Karochi neither dodged nor flinched. An invisible shield of ki protected his whole body, and the lightning was completely blocked before it could even touch him.
As the smoke cleared, the minotaur's right arm could be seen hanging limply at its side, kicked out of place. The horns on its head gathered the power of lightning and relentlessly blasted Karochi. Its eyes had turned blood-red with pain and fury.
"Hah... Aaaah~~!!"
Karochi powered up, and the lightning was instantly repelled! His overwhelming aura sent the minotaur flying once more. Even Tights, who wasn't being targeted, could barely stay on her feet.
She couldn't help feeling shocked. Just how strong had Karochi gotten?! It had only been three days. Curiosity got the better of her, and she opened the Scouter.
The numbers flickered before finally settling at 9,865! A battle power close to ten thousand.
How could this be? In just three days, Karochi had grown so much stronger?? Gravity training was really that effective?! It was unbelievable.
Karochi charged straight at the minotaur. When he reached it, he slapped it across the face again, sending it flying! Now it's properly evened out. Hilarious.
Karochi had lost any desire to play around. He raised his right arm, aimed his palm at the minotaur, and fired a Ki Blast!
The blue Ki Blast struck the minotaur before it could hit the ground. Its roar rang out, but only for a moment before it faded into silence! Hilarious. It's been reduced to ashes.
Boom...~~!
The Ki Blast struck a mountain and erased it completely. The semicircular blast zone even left a massive crater in the ground, showing just how destructive it was.
"Big Sis Tights, I've reduced that bastard to ashes!!" Karochi dusted off his hands and reported back. Tights had been furious just moments ago!!
Tights smiled. "Not bad, little brat. You've learned to stand up for your big sister!!"
"Of course. To me, you're my real big sister! No one can change that." I've got to cling to this rich lady's leg.
Pfft~~!
Tights burst out laughing and waved a hand. "All right, I get it!! By the way, I think there's a lake on this planet. Let's go take a look! It's not far from here."
They'd come to this planet for its one and only lake. The minotaur had just been a little interruption.
"Sounds great! Big Sis Tights, which way is the lake?" Karochi came over and picked her up again. He was getting more and more practiced at it!!
And Tights was so slim and light—such a cutie!!
"East-southeast. It should be about five hundred kilometers away!" Tights said, still smiling. Honestly, she hadn't expected Karochi to get so angry on her behalf. She hadn't spoiled this little brother for nothing.
This was Tights's main reason for coming to the planet. She wanted to see how the only lake on the entire world had survived.
Without hesitation, Karochi shot into the sky. His big sister's destination was his direction!
It didn't take long for them to arrive. Honestly, it was pretty spectacular!
What kind of lake was this? It was clearly an inland sea.
They couldn't see the far shore to either side, and there was no telling where the other end lay ahead. From outer space it had looked about the size of a lake, but he hadn't expected it to be this enormous.
And that wasn't all. A gigantic whirlpool had formed in the middle of the inland sea!
Floating in the air, Karochi could clearly feel its powerful pull.
"Wow⊙ω⊙, this is spectacular! Hahahaha!" Tights was thrilled and started snapping pictures of the sea.
Karochi frowned. "Big Sis Tights, don't you think something's strange?"
"Strange? What's strange about it? This may have formed because of the planet's unusual binary-star system," Tights explained.
Planet Bemos was situated between two stars of equal mass. It wouldn't be surprising if that created all sorts of unusual sights.
Karochi nodded, partly agreeing. The temperature had also dropped noticeably as they approached. The feeling of being scorched was gone, replaced by a pleasant coolness.
Beep beep beep~!
Just then, the Scouter Tights was wearing suddenly started beeping!
"Huh? What's going on!?"
"Big Sis Tights, watch out!!" Karochi shouted. As soon as he heard the sound, he clearly sensed a powerful ki.
It wasn't much weaker than his own! Its location was right in the sea's eye.
Before Tights could even react, countless waterspouts suddenly erupted from the sea's eye, roaring in every direction.
Karochi's pupils contracted. He wrapped one arm around Tights's slender waist while forming an enormous Ki Blast with his other hand.
The Ki Blast, over a meter in diameter, formed in his palm. He fired it at the oncoming waterspout!
But to Karochi's disbelief, it was stopped?? His Ki Blast had actually been blocked by mere seawater?
"Hah, all smoke and mirrors!" Karochi sneered and flew high into the sky with Tights. He had to make sure she was safe first.
"Karochi, what's going on??" Tights still had no idea what was happening!
All she could see was an apocalyptic scene, with countless waterspouts surging skyward and roaring wildly!!
"Big Sis Tights, there's probably something hidden in that sea! Do you have a flying device? I'm going to hit it with something nasty," Karochi said gravely.
He hadn't seen who the opponent was, but he was certain it was lurking beneath the water.
Before Tights could answer, another volley of attacks like water arrows came flying at them.
Karochi had no choice but to form small Ki Blasts with his fingers and throw them at the attacks.
Boom, boom, boom~!
The deafening explosions rang out without pause, and water rained down over the land.
Tights realized their opponent was no ordinary foe. She took out a capsule, which turned into a flying vehicle.
With both hands free, Karochi's attacks grew more vicious. White flames of ki enveloped his entire body!
He had entered a Ki Burst state, and it was even more intense than when he'd fought the minotaur.
Huh? Karochi's eyes flashed as he spotted the sea's eye gathering power. Endless water converged at its center.
"Hah! You think I'm afraid of you?" Karochi said, raising both arms in front of his chest and bringing his wrists together. The stance looked a little like Vegito's when he unleashed Final Flash.
Small points of blue light gathered ceaselessly between his palms, and the air around them grew unbearably hot.
Tights sat in the flying vehicle as alarms sounded in her ears, seemingly warning her to get away as quickly as possible.
Staring at the whirlpool in the sea felt like staring into an abyss. It had gathered so much water that its original deep blue had turned into a terrifying black.
Brilliant blue light shone between Karochi's palms. The blue points of light stopped gathering in his hands and instead hovered in a ring around them.
[Atomic Shockwave]
Two incredibly powerful energies collided at astonishing speed. One was brilliant blue, surrounded by countless blue points of light.
The other was an inky black, deep and savage.
The energies clashing against each other formed a massive sphere over ten meters in radius, half blue and half black!
Karochi was dumbfounded! What the hell? This can't be real. My battle power is definitely over ten thousand now. Who on earth is that?
What the hell kind of mid-level planet is this? It's obviously a high-level planet! Forget high-level warriors—even King Vegito wouldn't be able to do anything here!
"Karochi, the 'sea' below is getting smaller!" Tights's voice came from beside him.
Huh? The sea was getting smaller? What kind of trick was that?!
He couldn't spare any attention to investigate, because Karochi was gradually losing ground!
The tremendous force kept pushing him backward.
"Fuck this!" With a furious roar, Karochi pushed harder, and the blue points of light poured in like a torrent!
The massive sphere, which had begun to tilt, returned to an even split!
Roar~~!
A deafening roar rang out. The sea below had completely gathered into a humanoid creature!!
Even more terrifying to Karochi, it gradually began to look like him!
Huh? Shadow, is that you? You're not dead?
Karochi was completely stunned. What the hell was this thing?
"Karochi, I found something in the records. This is a Yitai Wonder phenomenon! It's a rare cosmic phenomenon, but there isn't much information about it!" Tights's anxious voice reached his ears.
A Yitai Wonder? What the hell was that!? It wasn't in the original story!! What was going on? He'd left Earth only two and a half days ago, and the universe was already proving him wrong?
And what the hell was a cosmic wonder? Karochi's face was covered with a huge, bewildered expression.
Damn it, did I get transported to some fake Dragon Ball world?
"Damn it, I don't care what kind of wonder it is! If I blow it up, it'll be a dead wonder!!" Why waste time thinking about it? Just blow the damn thing up!
But Karochi awkwardly realized that he was already using 120% of his power!!
They were locked in a stalemate, and he was gradually losing strength.
"I found it! Karochi, there's a core in its center. Find a way to destroy it, and you can defeat it!!" Tights's voice came through again.
Karochi could only smile bitterly. I can't move right now! This was awkward. He was locked in an even power struggle with the damn wonder right in front of him!
Whoever let up first would be swallowed by the energy.
"I'll help you!"
Huh? Big Sis Tights, how are you going to help?
A cannon barrel emerged from the underside of Tights's flying vehicle. It aimed at the mimicking Karochi below and fired.
Boom~! Roar~ roar~ roar! The mimicking Karochi let out a strange series of cries, as if she had hit its weak spot.
This was their chance!! Karochi powered up and pushed the Ki Blast forward.
Boom~~!
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The force of the blast even sent Tights's flying vehicle hurtling away!
Countless stones and grains of sand were flung into the air, while thick black smoke covered the entire sky.
Jeez! If I'd hit it any harder, that would've been the end of this planet! Karochi couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.
"Karochi, it's not over yet. The opponent's still alive! As long as the core hasn't been destroyed, it'll be fine!!"
Big Sis Tights, where exactly did you get that information? Weren't I supposed to be the one bringing this stuff back to Earth? How come I don't know any of it?
Karochi felt a little bitter inside. He locked onto the opponent's ki. Unbelievable—it hadn't weakened at all. That was ridiculous.
This was going to be a tough fight!
