"You're saying my attacks have no effect at all?" Evil Son Goku glared, staring intently at the enemy opposite him.
"Not exactly. When you hit me, it did hurt a little. But only a little," Zhang Wutian replied, patting his stomach.
"Stop pretending! You're in agony right now, aren't you? You're just putting on an act. You can't fool me!"
"Whether I'm fooling you or not, you'll find out when you attack me, Son Goku."
"How do you know my name?" Evil Son Goku stared at Zhang Wutian in surprise.
"Your name really is Son Goku? Then Son Gohan must be your grandfather after all."
"Grandfather... That old man isn't my grandfather!"
"He abandoned me a long time ago!!!"
Suddenly going berserk, Evil Son Goku put all his strength into a knife-hand strike aimed at Zhang Wutian.
Zhang Wutian caught Evil Son Goku's arm with both hands in a bare-handed blade catch. Then he stepped back, dropped onto his back, braced his feet against Evil Son Goku's body, and kicked him up into the sky.
Lying on the ground, Zhang Wutian planted both hands firmly on the earth. The muscles in his arms bulged as he pushed off and leaped into the air. Stretching out his body and straightening his right leg, he delivered a flying kick at Evil Son Goku like a spear shooting into the sky.
The flying kick struck his opponent squarely on the chin. Already suspended in midair, Son Goku took another heavy blow, and the strike left him seeing stars.
But Zhang Wutian didn't stop there. With the Flight Technique, he could move freely through the sky without being restricted by gravity.
A punch from the left, a punch from the right, then a double-fisted blow after a full spin sent Evil Son Goku crashing into the ground.
"Bastard, don't underestimate me!!" Evil Son Goku hit the ground, barely managing to roll with the impact instead of slamming straight into it. He took a brief breath, endured his injuries, and sprang up like a coil, aiming straight for Zhang Wutian, who was still in the sky.
Zhang Wutian's response to Evil Son Goku charging straight up at him was simple: he faced his rapidly approaching opponent and hurtled down without backing away.
The two made contact the next second. Evil Son Goku's fist struck Zhang Wutian in the chest first, while Zhang Wutian's fist smashed into Evil Son Goku's face.
"What..." Zhang Wutian looked completely unharmed, while Evil Son Goku plummeted once more. This time, he hit the ground like a meteor, leaving a person-shaped crater.
"I trained too hard. After training under four times normal gravity and fighting alongside Wukong and the others, I've become far stronger than you."
"You were on your own. You had no companions to train with, no master to teach you martial arts, no one to recommend a suitable place to train, and you never drank the Ultra Divine Water from Korin Tower. You weren't even taught your signature Kamehameha. That's why you lost."
After landing, Zhang Wutian delivered his verdict to Evil Son Goku, whose body was covered in dust and who seemed unconscious.
"Bullshit!" Evil Son Goku sprang up from the ground and punched Zhang Wutian in the face.
Zhang Wutian's head jerked back from the blow, but that was all. He didn't fall or even take a step back. He merely looked at the man with pity—a man who resembled the one from his memories more than Wukong did.
"What a pathetic Son Goku you are. You're a disgrace to that name."
"Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!!" Feeling not pity but a tremendous insult, Evil Son Goku launched a frantic flurry of punches at Zhang Wutian. But Zhang Wutian blocked every one.
"Let's end this farce." Facing Evil Son Goku's dazzling flurry of punches, Zhang Wutian simply rammed his head into him.
Evil Son Goku's flurry was smashed aside like nails beneath a hammer. His head took a heavy blow, and he stumbled backward.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Wutian punched Evil Son Goku in the stomach, then elbowed him in the cheek. After sending him flying, Zhang Wutian grabbed his foot, swung him down into the ground, then flung him back into the sky.
Up to that point, Zhang Wutian had been using the same attacks Evil Son Goku had used against him earlier. But the final blow would be completely different.
Zhang Wutian decided to finish him with that technique.
"Kame..."
Zhang Wutian brought his hands together and held them at his waist.
"hame..."
Ki began to gather in his palms.
"ha..."
The ki turned into an orange-yellow glow, pouring from his hands and forming a sphere.
"meha!!!"
Finally, a beam thicker than a person struck Evil Son Goku.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Struck by the Shockwave, Evil Son Goku's scream echoed through the sky.
The next moment, a violent explosion erupted in the sky, its energy swallowing Evil Son Goku whole.
Zhang Wutian's Kamehameha was only an imitation, capable of unleashing seven or eight tenths of its full power. But that was more than enough to end the fight.
A short while later, Evil Son Goku's battered body fell from the sky and hit the ground.
Unlike Zhang Wutian, who got up as soon as he landed, Evil Son Goku was so badly injured that he could no longer stand.
Seeing that the fight was over, the spectators gathered around.
"I can't believe we beat him so easily. Am I imagining things? Why does it feel like he suddenly got weaker?"
"It's not that he got weaker. You became stronger than him through training," Tien Shinhan told the unconvinced Krillin.
"He looks exactly like me, and his grandfather is Son Gohan too. Why did he turn out evil?"
From their earlier conversation, Zhang Wutian had already managed to guess a little of what had happened.
Evil Son Goku claimed his grandfather had abandoned him, but that wasn't really what had happened. Just like Son Goku in any other world, he must have been affected by the full moon and turned into a mindless Great Ape, then accidentally trampled his grandfather, Son Gohan, to death.
Zhang Wutian couldn't bring himself to say that, because Son Wukong was right beside him. Was he supposed to tell her that they were both the same, both culprits who had trampled their grandfathers to death?
So he could only speak vaguely, leaving out the details: "So you're taking revenge on society because your grandfather abandoned you? You really are a wild monkey. My Wukong is much better behaved."
"Liar..." Evil Son Goku lay on the ground, barely clinging to life. He spoke slowly. "Whether it was my grandfather, a woman, or someone who said they wanted to be my friend... they were all liars!"
"Humans... are all filthy creatures, so... they should all die!"
"A woman? Could it be..."
Zhang Wutian was about to press him further when a finger-thick beam of light came down from above and pierced Evil Son Goku's heart.
"Ah!! Cough, cough..." Evil Son Goku coughed up a string of blood and reached out as if trying to grasp something. But it was all in vain. At last, his hand fell to the ground, and his body stopped struggling.
The man who had wreaked destruction, whom the people of this world called a monster, and who had always been alone, finally breathed his last. He would never kill again.
