The Power of Ultra Divine Water: Piccolo Egg

Chapter 17: The Power of Ultra Divine Water: Piccolo Egg

In the ever-changing, treacherous, and perilous Dragon Ball World, the nightmarish shadow of Old Piccolo's evil once again spread over the vast land. With Pilaf and the others helping him with unwavering devotion, Old Piccolo overcame obstacle after obstacle until he finally gathered the Dragon Balls. Amid their mysterious, dazzling light, he made his fervent wish to regain his youth.

Rejuvenated, Old Piccolo was like a completely new man. Not only did he look young and full of vigor, but his inner power also skyrocketed at an astonishing rate. His heart had been wholly consumed by evil, and now his ambition spread without limit, like weeds running rampant across a field. He intended to conquer the world through sheer terror and cruelty, forcing everyone to tremble and submit beneath his chilling rule, without daring to entertain even the slightest thought of resistance.

In an instant, a world that had been peaceful and tranquil fell into boundless panic and chaos. People felt as if they were trapped in an abyss of darkness, living beneath a heavy pall of fear and despair. Every minute and every second brought fresh dread. They did not know whether the sun would rise the next day, or whether any light or hope remained in the days ahead.

At this critical moment, with life hanging by a thread, Sun Wukong, a brave and fearless warrior possessing the Saiyan Great Ape Spirit and numerous remarkable fighting techniques, stepped forward without hesitation. He readily took upon his broad, sturdy shoulders the solemn and sacred responsibility of saving the world. He knew full well that the battle against Old Piccolo would be an unprecedentedly difficult clash, without equal in history. Yet his bright, unwavering eyes held not the slightest trace of fear—only an iron resolve that could not be shaken.

The moment Goku and Old Piccolo met on the smoke-filled battlefield, the atmosphere between them froze. It was as if time itself had ground to a halt, and the surrounding air was filled with tension and oppression. Old Piccolo's hideously twisted face brimmed with unrestrained evil and arrogance. In a mocking, contemptuous, and biting tone, he ridiculed Goku for overestimating himself. To him, Goku was nothing but an insignificant ant he could crush at will, foolishly trying to shake a mountain as solid and immovable as he was.

But Goku was not riled by Old Piccolo's grating, cutting words. He was as calm as a still lake on a winter's day, not a ripple disturbing its surface. He stared at the vicious, wicked enemy before him, silently calculating the perfect moment to attack, like a composed strategist arranging his troops. The powerful aura around him—the invincible force born from the perfect union of Super Saiyan power, divine Saiyan blood, and Martial Soul power—was like a blazing sun, radiant and dazzling, illuminating the dark, gloomy battlefield.

With a deafening boom, the battle erupted like a volcano. Old Piccolo struck first, unleashing a wave of devastating attacks. He swung his thick, muscular arm and released an immense surge of energy. Like a roaring, clawing dragon, it charged toward Goku with overwhelming force. Goku flickered away like a phantom, dodging the deadly blow with astonishing agility. Then, using the mysterious power of Instant Transmission, he appeared behind Old Piccolo in an instant and decisively unleashed "Ape Force Impact." All his strength converged in a single point, and he shot forward like a cannonball, with the force of thunder. The sudden, unstoppable attack drove Old Piccolo back several steps, but the seasoned, cunning evil warrior quickly regained his footing, turned, and counterattacked without wasting a motion.

The two exchanged blow after blow in a thrilling, life-and-death struggle. The battle quickly reached a fever pitch, blazing like a fire that grew hotter by the second. Goku constantly changed up his fighting techniques, unleashing one spectacular move after another in a relentless storm: the devastating Kamehameha, the Kaio-ken, which greatly boosted his fighting power in a short time, and the razor-sharp Destructo Disc, which could slice through metal as if it were paper. But Old Piccolo was no pushover. Drawing on years of battle experience and his unfathomably dark, evil power, he repeatedly countered Goku's fierce, unstoppable attacks, displaying his seasoned skill and tenacious strength.

In this suffocatingly fierce clash, Goku gradually realized that Old Piccolo's strength truly surpassed all expectations, like a mountain that was impossible to climb. He knew that defeating such a fearsome enemy would require him to unleash even greater, more astonishing power. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The power within him, like a slumbering dragon, began to surge wildly, brimming with energy like a volcano on the verge of eruption. In an instant, he transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

His hair stood even more upright and sharp, like spears wreathed in golden flames. Lightning crackled around him more densely, forming a brilliant, tightly woven web. Goku's aura and power soared once more, as if he had broken through a limit. He used "Great Ape Protection," summoning an unbreakable Energy Shield that shimmered with a mysterious, radiant light, as if proudly proclaiming its strength to the world. Then, like a bullet from a gun, he charged toward Old Piccolo without hesitation, his resolve and courage carrying him forward. Old Piccolo, too, summoned all his strength to hold him back. His evil aura spread in an instant, forming a black barrier that exuded a loathsome stench.

But this time, the power Goku unleashed far exceeded anything Old Piccolo had imagined. His unstoppable attack was like an indestructible blade, easily piercing Old Piccolo's defenses. Goku suddenly threw a "Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist," infused with all his anger and the power of justice, as though it had gathered the righteous force of heaven and earth. The fist struck Old Piccolo squarely in the chest. Old Piccolo's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and despair, as if he were witnessing his own end. A gaping hole appeared in his chest, and blood gushed out like a spring. His life force flickered like a candle in the wind, rapidly fading away.

Yet the evil Old Piccolo refused to accept defeat or submit to his fate. In the final moments of his life, he summoned every last ounce of strength and laid a Piccolo Egg. Clinging to a final sliver of hope, he wanted his descendant to inherit his evil will, carry on his unfinished wicked work, and perpetuate darkness and terror.

Goku quietly watched as Old Piccolo's life faded away, feeling no joy at all. He knew full well that this battle was only the beginning, a single step on a long journey, and that countless obstacles and challenges still awaited him. But he believed that with his unwavering inner strength, fearless courage, and steadfast commitment to justice, he could protect the world's peace and restore light to this suffering, battered land, allowing hope to bloom once more.

By then, Goku had become the undying, shining light of hope in people's hearts. His heroic, moving deeds spread like a spring breeze to every corner of the world, across every inch of land. His story inspired everyone to face life's difficulties and challenges with courage. It gave them faith that justice would prevail over evil and light would drive away darkness—that as long as they held firm to their beliefs, the dawn of victory would surely come.

After defeating Old Piccolo, Goku did not slack off or grow conceited. He knew that only by continuing to train and grow stronger could he better face whatever crises might arise in the future and stand firm in an ever-changing world. He continued along his arduous path of training, constantly challenging his limits and unlocking his immense hidden potential, like a warrior who was never satisfied and never stopped.

The mysterious Ultra Divine Water also became an essential turning point in Goku's future growth. It was said to contain a power beyond ordinary understanding and imagination, one capable of transforming a person's strength in an instant, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Goku decided without hesitation to embark on the difficult quest to find it. He believed it was the key to becoming a truly invincible warrior and an important step toward reaching a higher realm.

During his long journey in search of the Ultra Divine Water, Goku encountered countless hardships beyond anything he could have imagined: steep mountains that pierced the clouds, raging rivers with surging waves, extreme and unpredictable weather, and powerful, terrifying enemies. But with his tenacious will and unyielding spirit, he overcame these seemingly insurmountable challenges time and again, showing admirable resilience and perseverance.

At last, after a long trek and tireless effort, Goku found the place where the Ultra Divine Water was kept. But obtaining it was no easy feat; he would have to pass a series of extraordinarily difficult and demanding trials.

Throughout those trials, Goku made full use of the various fighting techniques and Soul Skills he had mastered. "Ape Shadow Clone" created multiple powerful clones to confuse his enemies, leaving them unable to tell the real from the false. "Berserk Ape Strike" sent him into a berserk state for a short time, dramatically boosting his strength and speed like a rampaging beast. "Great Ape Domain" opened a special domain that effectively suppressed his enemies' power and left them constrained at every turn.

Through one fierce, breathtaking battle after another, Goku gradually came to understand the true nature of power. He no longer relied solely on his powerful fighting techniques and Soul Skills. Instead, he learned to perfectly merge his own energy with the power of the Ultra Divine Water, attaining a state of complete harmony between himself and the water.

After a long and grueling series of battles, in which he had repeatedly faced death, Goku finally obtained the Ultra Divine Water. In that moment, he felt an immensely powerful surge rush into his body like a raging tide, as if it would burst him apart. His Saiyan bloodline awakened further, becoming purer and stronger, as though it had undergone a sacred cleansing. His Martial Soul power also rose tremendously, as if he had been reborn.

Carrying the power granted by the Ultra Divine Water, Goku returned to the real world with confidence and his head held high. He knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was now greater and more difficult than ever. He resolved to devote this power wholeheartedly to the cause of justice and to protecting world peace, so that everyone could live happy, peaceful, carefree lives and the world could be filled with love and hope.

The road ahead might still be covered in thorns and obstacles, and perhaps still filled with the unknown and new challenges, but Goku was unafraid. He would not retreat or hesitate. He believed that as long as he held on to justice, yearned for peace, and kept his faith and indomitable spirit, he could defeat every evil force, fill the world with love and hope, and let light shine over humanity forever.

Throughout this long, legendary, and magnificent journey to become invincible, Goku would keep moving forward without retreat. With his courage and strength, he would write his own glorious chapter, becoming an eternal legend—a hero the world would remember and admire forever.
