A gorilla more than 20 meters tall rampaged through the forest, destroying everything in its path.
The Great Ape opened its huge mouth, baring its fangs, and unleashed a massive red energy blast.
Rumble!
A huge mushroom cloud rose from the site of the explosion. Smoke billowed, and the stench of gunpowder filled the air.
"How terrifying!" Kasso swallowed hard, stunned by Ausbie's fighting strength.
The Great Ape pounded its chest with both hands again.
It looked up at the sky. The reflection of the moon appeared in its blood-red eyes, and it reached up as if to grab it.
But the full moon hung motionless in the sky, unaffected.
"Roar..."
Ausbie seemed enraged. She pounded her chest with both hands, then fired a laser beam from her mouth at the ground.
Rumble! Rumble!
The earth shook and mountains crumbled. A mountain was struck and instantly exploded, sending rocks and boulders flying in every direction.
Wherever the laser beam passed, it left a massive ravine, like a great rift torn open by an earthquake. Rocks kept tumbling from the edges into the chasm below.
The shock wave flattened the surrounding trees. Sparks began to appear in some places, and soon the forest was ablaze.
Animals fled, wailing in agony. The carnage was like a living hell.
Kasso knew the Scouter had a listening device, so he had thrown it away before coming to Mumu Planet.
After half a year of training, Kasso had learned a little about sensing ki. He focused for a moment and sensed that Ausbie's power had increased about tenfold—to roughly 8,000.
With a tenfold boost, Ausbie in her Great Ape form was far beyond what he could handle with his little more than 1,000 battle power.
Kasso knelt on one knee, veins bulging in his neck, his face contorted as he gasped for breath.
It was hard to believe that Ausbie, who had been a porcelain doll just moments ago, had transformed into a gorilla in the blink of an eye—and one who couldn't even recognize her own family!
"I have to cut off her tail!"
There was no other choice!
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 sphere appeared in the air. Kasso had no time to block it before it struck him.
Rumble!
The impact sent Kasso flying at tremendous speed!
Thud!
He rolled across the ground for a while before finally coming to a stop.
A furrow more than a hundred meters long stretched behind him, gouged into the earth by his body.
"Pfft!"
Kasso turned to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. Pain coursed through his body. His shirt had been burned away, exposing the deep and shallow wounds across his upper body. They burned and stung fiercely.
"Little Biel, you idiot!" Kasso cursed. Thankfully, that had only been a casual swipe from Ausbie. Otherwise, he would never have survived the blow.
"I have to stop her."
Kasso knew he couldn't let this continue. Ausbie might destroy the entire planet in a single night. After all, she now had a battle power of around 8,000.
In this world of super dimensions, even a few hundred battle power was enough to destroy a planet, let alone Ausbie's current strength.
Bracing one hand against the ground, Kasso struggled to his feet. Every movement pulled at the wounds on his upper body, and more blood flowed as he moved.
He gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, enduring the pain.
He took a deep breath, then silently crept through the forest toward Ausbie.
As Kasso neared the Great Ape, he saw destruction everywhere.
He jumped into a tree and watched Ausbie's movements intently.
The Great Ape was already in a state of fury. She stomped her left foot, and the ground beneath her crumpled like tofu, unable to withstand her strength!
She pounded her chest with both hands and roared. A dim red glow appeared in her mouth as she gathered more and more energy!
"Now's my chance!"
Kasso knew Ausbie was charging up a powerful attack. There would be an opening when she fired the laser blast, and he had to seize it.
The laser blast in the Great Ape's mouth had grown enormous, like a black hole. A terrifying force of attraction radiated from it, drawing in the air around her.
The pull grew stronger and stronger. Rocks rolled across the ground toward the blast, while dead branches and leaves flew straight at it. Before they could even reach the energy, they crumbled to dust.
Kasso drew in a sharp breath. He could feel the energy blast's power. If it hit him, there wouldn't even be a trace left!
The Great Ape gathered energy to its limit, then unleashed it with all her might. The enormous laser blast shot toward a vast mountain range in the distance, like the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Now!
Kasso unleashed all his strength. He pushed off with both feet and darted toward the Great Ape's tail like a gust of wind.
In an instant, a figure appeared behind Ausbie. He formed a blade of ki in his right hand and tried to sever her tail with a single slash.
Suddenly!
The Great Ape's tail lifted and dodged the strike, then whipped about wildly.
From afar, it looked like a flailing whip, lashing out in every direction as phantom afterimages filled the air!
"Oh no!"
This little girl—no, this grown-up girl—was way too cautious!
Kasso had thought he was about to cut off her tail. He hadn't expected Ausbie to be aware of her surroundings, completely unlike how she usually acted.
The Great Ape's tail lashed wildly, and Kasso fought desperately to fend it off.
But Ausbie, transformed into a gorilla, was far too powerful for Kasso to resist.
Soon, pain flared across Kasso's back as her tail struck him hard.
"Argh!"
A cry of agony rang through the sky!
Kasso was sent flying, his body hurtling like a cannonball toward a hill in the distance.
He flew hundreds of meters.
Rumble!
In an instant, his body smashed a huge hole into the distant hill.
The laser blast the Great Ape had just gathered also hit the mountain range.
Rumble! Rumble!
The massive mountain range was struck by the laser blast, and another mushroom cloud rose into the sky—more than ten times larger than the one from an atomic bomb.
Soon, the mushroom cloud rolled over, filling the blasted vacuum and sending dust swirling through the air!
Inside a cave smashed into a hillside several hundred meters away.
A man lay in the cave, buried under rubble. Kasso pushed himself up, and stones slid off him as his body rose and fell.
"Cough, cough!"
Kasso coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in pain!
He had already been covered in wounds, and now Ausbie's tail had struck him. Things had gone from bad to worse!
Before he could catch his breath,
Thud, thud, thud!
Heavy footsteps came from the ground outside!
Kasso's face changed.
Damn it, she'd chased him here!
Just then,
A huge hand tore away the cave entrance.
"It's over. I can't escape."
Sitting on the ground, Kasso gave a bitter laugh. "Little Biel, if you wake up tomorrow and don't see me, 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 and made him grimace in pain.
When he had first crossed over, Kasso had dreamed of becoming the strongest in the Dragon Ball World, meeting Kakarot, and showing off in front of Vegeta.
Half a year had passed, and not one of those dreams had come true. Was he really going to die at Ausbie's feet now?
What a disgrace to transmigrators everywhere!
Sigh!
Kasso let out a helpless sigh. He imagined Ausbie waking up and calling, "Brother Kasso," before searching the whole world for him.
Then he imagined her being hunted by Frieza without him there to protect her!
How could such an innocent girl survive in a cruel universe?
Thinking of all this made Kasso's nose sting. He really couldn't bear to leave the girl behind!
After lifting away the cave entrance, Ausbie stood there and looked at Kasso. Suddenly, she raised her left foot, intending to crush the little bug who had just offended her.
Kasso slowly closed his eyes.
Forget it. I give up.
But—
A quarter of an hour passed.
"Hm?"
Why hadn't she stepped down?
Kasso opened his eyes and saw Ausbie's foot suspended in midair, still hovering above him.
Looking closely, he saw Ausbie blink. Her face took on a thoughtful expression, as if she had remembered something. Her gaze suddenly softened a little. Then she slowly drew her huge foot back, folded her legs, and sat beside him.
Could it be—
"Did she remember me?"
Kasso's mouth curled into a huge grin, and he gradually burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
After only a few laughs, he choked up, and tears welled in his eyes!
Kasso murmured, "All that pampering wasn't for nothing. Little Biel didn't forget me!"
Hearing Kasso's voice, Ausbie lowered her head and looked at him, then touched her enormous ape head with a slightly bewildered expression.
Why was this little bug talking to himself?
How strange!
Kasso jumped at Ausbie's movement, thinking she was about to attack again. His body instinctively shrank away!
Seeing that she was only rubbing her head, Kasso let out a helpless sigh of relief!
"Phew, thank goodness. Little Biel, you big idiot. When you turn back tomorrow, I'm going to give you a good scolding."
The furious Ausbie had calmed down. The forest in the distance was still burning, but the fighting had stopped.
Kasso saw Ausbie sitting against the mountainside, her hands hanging at her sides.
A cold wind blew, and he shivered. Without thinking, he edged closer to Ausbie. Her body was covered in fur, and leaning against her was warm and comfortable!
Still, Kasso felt uneasy leaning against the Great Ape, so he looked up.
Ausbie's enormous eyes met his for a moment. She showed no reaction, then looked up at the round moon!
Kasso: "..."
The forest burned for two hours before gradually dying out. The dusty sky slowly cleared as the dust settled, covering the ground like volcanic ash.
The full moon still hung in the sky!
Huff, huff!
Huff, huff!
A little kid leaned against a gorilla's leg. One big, one small, they both snored away!
