"You say my attacks are completely ineffective?" Evil Son Goku glared, his eyes locked onto the enemy before him.

"That's not the case. It actually hurt a little when you hit me, but only a little." Zhang Wutian patted his abdomen and replied.

"Don't try to act tough! You must be in agony right now, you pretender. Don't think you can fool me!"

"Whether I'm fooling you or not, just keep attacking and you'll find out, Son Goku."

"Why do you know my name?" Evil Son Goku froze, looking at Zhang Wutian in surprise.

"Is your name really Son Goku? Then I suppose Son Gohan is your grandfather after all."

"Grandfather... that old geezer is not my grandfather!"

"He abandoned me a long time ago!!!"

Suddenly going berserk, Evil Son Goku used all his strength to deliver a hand-blade strike toward Zhang Wutian.

Zhang Wutian performed an empty-handed disarm, catching Evil Son Goku's arm with both hands. He then used the momentum to step back, lay flat on the ground, and braced his feet against Evil Son Goku's body, kicking him high into the sky.

Lying on the ground, Zhang Wutian pushed his hands hard against the earth, the muscles in his arms bulging violently. With a powerful shove, he launched himself into the air. He stretched his body, straightened his right leg, and like a spear piercing the heavens, delivered a flying kick aimed directly at Evil Son Goku.

The flying kick struck the opponent's chin accurately. Already airborne, Son Goku suffered another heavy blow, the impact to his chin making him see stars.

Zhang Wutian's assault did not stop there. Possessing the Flight Technique, he was not restricted by gravity and could move freely in the sky.

A left hook, a right hook, and then a double-fist strike after a full rotation hammered Evil Son Goku into the ground.

"Damn it, don't look down on me!!" Landing on the ground, Evil Son Goku barely managed to break his fall instead of being smashed into the earth. He caught his breath, endured his severe injuries, and sprang up like a coiled spring, targeting Zhang Wutian, who was still in the air.

Facing the charging Evil Son Goku, Zhang Wutian's response was simple: he faced the rapidly approaching enemy and collided with him head-on without backing down.

The two made contact in the next second. Evil Son Goku's fist struck Zhang Wutian's chest first, while Zhang Wutian's fist slammed into Evil Son Goku's face.

"Wha..." Zhang Wutian appeared completely unscathed, while Evil Son Goku plummeted once more. This time, like a meteorite crashing into the earth, he smashed a human-shaped crater into the ground.

"You've overdone your training. Having trained under four times gravity and fought alongside the others, my combat power is already far beyond yours."

"Alone, without partners to train with, without a master to teach you martial arts, without anyone to recommend suitable training grounds, never having drunk the Sacred Water from Korin Tower, and not even having anyone to teach you the signature Kamehameha—this is the cause of your defeat."

After landing on the ground, Zhang Wutian delivered the final verdict to the dust-covered, seemingly unconscious Evil Son Goku.

"Bullshit!" Lying on the ground, Evil Son Goku suddenly sprang up and punched Zhang Wutian in the face.

Zhang Wutian tilted his head back from the blow, but that was all. He did not fall, nor did he retreat; instead, he looked with pity at this man who, more than anyone else, resembled the person in his own memories.

"A Son Goku like you is truly pathetic. You've tarnished this name."

"Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!!" Feeling the pity as a grave insult, Evil Son Goku went berserk and unleashed a flurry of punches at Zhang Wutian, but every single one was parried.

"Let's end this farce." Facing the dazzling barrage of punches, Zhang Wutian countered with a direct headbutt.

Evil Son Goku's rapid-fire strikes were smashed aside like nails meeting a hammer. His head took a heavy blow, and he staggered backward.

Almost simultaneously, Zhang Wutian punched Evil Son Goku in the abdomen, followed by an elbow strike to the cheek. After sending him flying, Zhang Wutian grabbed Evil Son Goku by the leg, swung him into the ground, and then hurled him back into the sky.

Everything up to this point had been a mirror of the attacks Evil Son Goku had used on him, but the final blow would be entirely different.

Zhang Wutian decided to use that technique as his finishing move.

"Ka..."

Zhang Wutian brought his hands together at his waist.

"Me..."

The energy in his palms began to condense.

"Ha..."

The energy transformed into an orange-yellow radiance, overflowing from his palms and forming a sphere.

"Me..."

"Ha!!!"

Finally, a beam of light thicker than a human body struck Evil Son Goku.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"

Hit by the shockwave, Evil Son Goku's screams echoed through the sky.

The next moment, a violent explosion erupted in the air, the energy of the blast consuming Evil Son Goku's body.

Although Zhang Wutian's imitation Kamehameha could only reach seventy or eighty percent of its true power, that level of combat strength was enough to end the fight.

A moment later, Evil Son Goku's battered body fell from the sky and slammed into the ground.

Unlike Zhang Wutian, who stood up immediately after landing, the heavily wounded Evil Son Goku could no longer rise.

Seeing that the battle was over, the spectators gathered around.

"I didn't expect it to be finished so easily. Is it my imagination, or did he suddenly get weaker?"

"It's not that he got weaker; it's that you've become stronger through your training." Facing the uncertain Krillin, Tien Shinhan replied.

"He looks exactly like me, and his grandfather was also Son Gohan. Why did he turn into a villain?"

In truth, through their previous conversation, Zhang Wutian could guess a little.

Evil Son Goku claimed he had been abandoned by his grandfather, but that wasn't the case. Like any other Son Goku in any world, he must have been affected by the full moon, turned into a mindless Great Ape, and accidentally trampled his grandfather, Son Gohan, to death.

Zhang Wutian could not bring himself to say those words, for Son Wukong was standing right beside him. Was he supposed to tell her that they were both the same, both the culprits who had trampled their own grandfather to death?

He could only omit the beginning and the end, saying vaguely, "Just because you were abandoned by Grandpa, you have to take revenge on society? What a wild monkey. My Wukong is much better behaved."

"Liar..." Lying on the ground, gasping his last breaths, Evil Son Goku heard Zhang Wutian's words and spoke slowly, "Whether it's Grandpa, women, or those who claimed they wanted to be my friends... they are all liars!"

"Humans... are all filthy creatures, and so... they all deserve to die!"

"Women? Could it be..."

Zhang Wutian wanted to press for more, but a beam of light as thick as a finger descended from the sky, piercing straight through Evil Son Goku's heart.

"Ah!! Cough, cough..." Evil Son Goku coughed up a spray of blood and reached out his hand as if trying to grasp something, but it was all in vain. Finally, his hand fell to the ground, and his body stopped struggling.

The man who had constantly wrought destruction, labeled a monster by the people of this world, and who had always been alone, finally drew his last breath. He would never be able to kill again.
