Spare My Feet

A giant ape over 20 meters tall rampaged through the forest.

The giant ape opened its massive maw, fangs bared, and unleashed a colossal red energy wave.

BOOM!

A massive mushroom cloud rose from the point of impact, smoke swirling as the acrid scent of gunpowder filled the air.

"How terrifying!" Kasso gulped, stunned by the sheer combat power of Ausbie.

The giant ape pounded its chest with both hands once more.

Looking up at the sky, the giant ape's crimson eyes reflected the shadow of the moon, and it reached out as if to snatch it from the heavens.

Yet, the full moon remained unmoved in the sky, unaffected.

"ROAR..."

Seemingly provoked, Ausbie pounded her chest again, fired a laser beam from her mouth, and blasted the ground.

BOOM! BOOM!

The earth shook and mountains crumbled; a massive peak was struck, its entire structure instantly shattering as debris flew in every direction.

Where the laser beam passed, a massive trench appeared, resembling a rift valley caused by an earthquake, with loose rocks constantly tumbling into the abyss-like chasm.

Surrounding trees were flattened by the shockwave, and fires soon broke out, quickly consuming the forest.

Animals fled and wailed; the tragic scene was like a living hell.

Kasso knew the detector had a tracker, so he had discarded it before arriving on Mumu Planet.

Thanks to his training over the past six months, Kasso had learned to sense ki to a small degree. He sensed it briefly: Ausbie's combat power had increased roughly tenfold, reaching around 8,000.

A tenfold increase—in her giant ape form, Ausbie was no longer someone his 1,000-plus combat power could withstand.

Kasso knelt on one knee, veins bulging on his neck, his face twisted in agony as he gasped for air.

It was hard to imagine that Ausbie, who had looked like a porcelain doll just moments ago, had transformed into a giant ape in the blink of an eye—and a mindless, berserk one at that!

"Cut off her tail!"

That was the only way!

Kasso slapped his cheeks, trying to calm down; he was the only one on this planet who could stop Ausbie!

He looked up.

"Oh no!"

A dark red energy ball appeared in the air. Kasso had no time to dodge, and his entire body was struck.

BOOM!

Kasso was hit, sent flying at incredible speed!

Thud!

He rolled along the ground for some distance before finally coming to a stop.

Behind him lay a trail over 100 meters long, carved out by his body dragging across the earth.

"Pfft!"

Kasso spat out a mouthful of blood while lying on his side. Intense pain racked his body, his upper garments were incinerated, and deep, jagged wounds were exposed, stinging with a searing heat.

"You idiot, Ausbie!" Kasso cursed. Fortunately, that was just a casual blast from her; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the hit.

"I have to stop her."

Kasso knew he couldn't let this continue, or the entire planet might be destroyed before the night was over. After all, Ausbie currently possessed around 8,000 combat power.

In this super-dimensional world, a few hundred points of combat power were enough to destroy a planet, let alone Ausbie's current state.

Supporting himself on one hand, Kasso struggled to stand. Every movement tugged at his upper-body wounds, causing blood to flow even more freely.

Gritting his teeth, Kasso endured the agony and slowly rose to his feet.

He took a deep breath and silently crept through the forest floor toward Ausbie's location.

As Kasso approached the giant ape, the landscape was a scene of total devastation.

He leaped into a tree, watching Ausbie's movements closely.

The giant ape was in a state of blind rage. It stomped its left foot, and the ground, unable to withstand her strength, gave way like tofu, sinking into a small crater!

Pounding her chest with both hands, the giant ape roared, and a ghostly red light manifested in her mouth, energy gathering rapidly!

"Perfect chance!"

Kasso knew Ausbie was charging a major attack. There would be a brief opening when she fired the laser blast, and he had to seize it.

The laser ball in the giant ape's mouth grew immense, resembling a black hole. It exerted a terrifying gravitational pull, drawing the surrounding air inward.

The suction grew stronger; debris from the ground rolled toward the laser ball, and dead leaves and branches from the forest were sucked directly toward it. Before they even touched the energy, they were pulverized into dust!

Kasso gasped; he could feel the power of that energy ball. If that hit him, there wouldn't even be ashes left!

The giant ape pushed the energy to its limit and fired with all its might, the massive laser blast hurtling toward a large mountain range that resembled the Kunlun Mountain Range in the distance.

Now is the time!

Kasso erupted with all his power, pushed off with both feet, and moved with the speed of a gale, flashing toward the Great Ape's tail.

Soon, a figure appeared at the base of Ausbie's tail, his right hand gathering ki into a blade, intending to sever her tail in one strike.

Suddenly!

The Great Ape's tail lifted, dodging the blow, and then began to thrash wildly.

Seen from afar, it looked like a whip flailing about, striking with frantic force, leaving illusory afterimages everywhere!

"Not good!"

This little girl—no, this big girl—is far too cautious!

Kasso had thought he would succeed in cutting off the tail, never expecting Ausbie to remain so aware of her surroundings; it was completely different from her usual state.

The Great Ape's tail whipped about madly, and Kasso struggled to defend himself.

However, Ausbie transformed into a Great Ape was simply more than Kasso could resist.

Soon, a sharp pain flared in Kasso's back as he was struck hard by her tail.

"Ah!"

A cry of intense pain rang through the sky!

Kasso was sent flying, his entire body like a cannonball, hurtling toward a small hill in the distance.

He flew for hundreds of meters.

BOOM!

In an instant, a massive hole was smashed into the distant hill.

The energy beam the Great Ape had just gathered also struck that mountain range.

RUMBLE!

The large mountain range was hit by the energy beam, and another mushroom cloud appeared in the sky, more than ten times larger than that of an atomic bomb.

Soon, the mushroom cloud drifted over, permeating the vacuum left by the explosion, with dust dancing everywhere!

Inside a cave smashed into a hillside several hundred meters away.

A person lay within the cave, covered in rubble. Kasso propped up his upper body, and the debris slid off as he moved.

"Cough, cough!"

Kasso painfully coughed up a mouthful of blood!

He was already covered in wounds, and being struck by Ausbie's tail had only added insult to injury!

Before he could even catch his breath.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!

Heavy footsteps vibrated through the ground!

Kasso's expression changed.

Damn it, she's actually hunting me down!

Just then.

The cave was ripped open by a giant palm.

"It's over, there's no escaping now."

Sitting on the ground, Kasso smiled bitterly to himself: "Little Ausbie, if you wake up tomorrow and don't see me, please don't be sad!"

He truly had no strength left, and several of his bones were broken.

Kasso wanted to wipe the blood from his mouth, but every movement tugged at his wounds, making him wince in pain.

When he first transmigrated, Kasso had fantasized about becoming the strongest in the Dragon Ball world, meeting Kakarot, and showing off in front of Vegeta.

Half a year had passed, and none of those fantasies had been realized; was he really going to die under Ausbie's feet now?

What a disgrace to transmigrators!

Sigh!

Kasso let out a helpless sigh, imagining Ausbie waking up, calling out for "Brother Kasso," and searching the world for him.

He then thought of Ausbie being hunted by Frieza in the future without him there!

How could such a simple-minded girl survive in this treacherous universe?

Thinking of this, Kasso's nose stung; he really couldn't let go of this girl!

After ripping open the cave, Ausbie paused to look at Kasso, then suddenly raised her left foot, intending to crush the little bug that had just offended her.

Kasso slowly closed his eyes.

Forget it, I'll just give in!

But!

A cup of tea's time passed.

"Hmm?"

Why hadn't she stomped down yet?

Kasso opened his eyes and discovered that Ausbie's foot was suspended in mid-air, hesitating to descend.

Looking closer, he saw Ausbie blink, a thoughtful expression crossing her face as if she had recalled something. Her gaze suddenly softened, and then she slowly retracted her massive foot, crossed her legs, and sat down beside him.

This is!

"Does this mean she remembered me?"

The corners of Kasso's mouth curled upward wildly, and he gradually began to laugh maniacally.

"Hahaha!"

He didn't get many laughs out before he began to choke up, tears welling in his eyes!

Kasso muttered, "All those times I spoiled her weren't in vain; little Ausbie hasn't forgotten me!"

Hearing Kasso's voice, Ausbie looked down and gave her giant ape head a slightly dazed, adorable pat.

Why is this little bug talking to himself?

How strange!

Startled by Ausbie's movement, Kasso feared she was about to attack again and instinctively shrank to the side!

Realizing she was only scratching her head, Kasso let out a helpless sigh of relief!

"Phew, that's good, that's good. That big idiot Ausbie is truly detestable; once she recovers tomorrow, I'll definitely have to give her a good thrashing."

For the moment, the enraged Ausbie had calmed down. The forest in the distance was still burning, but the battle had ceased.

Kasso watched as Ausbie leaned against the mountainside, sitting with her hands hanging down.

A cold wind blew, making him shiver. He subconsciously leaned toward Ausbie; covered in thick fur, she was warm and comfortable to lean against!

Though resting against the giant ape, Kasso felt a bit uneasy and looked up to check on her.

Ausbie's massive eyes met his for a moment, but she showed no reaction, instead turning her gaze toward the full moon!

Kasso: "..."

The forest burned for two hours before gradually dying out. The sky, once filled with dust, slowly cleared as the soot settled, leaving the ground covered in a layer of ash that resembled volcanic debris.

The full moon still hung in the sky!

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

A little brat leaned against the giant gorilla's leg; one big, one small, both were snoring away!
