Rumble, rumble, rumble—!

The deafening roar had already surpassed the limits of hearing. At that moment, Planet Vegeta seemed to have become a supernova on the verge of detonation.

Pitch-black pillars of destruction rained down from every direction like a torrential downpour, slamming into the hemispherical barrier Son Gohan had raised. Driven by demonic power, the more than ten thousand Demonized Golden Great Apes had wrung every last ounce of life from their bodies, unleashing all their destructive urges.

Each pillar of light was powerful enough to pierce a galaxy with ease. Now, tens of thousands of them had converged on a single point.

Trunks stood inside the barrier, surrounded by an apocalyptic scene filled with blinding light. The ground had long since ceased to exist. They hung suspended in midair, above the planet's bottomless core. The boiling magma that surged out was instantly vaporized by the terrifying energy.

"What terrifying energy..." Trunks gritted his teeth, drenched in cold sweat. Even breathing was extraordinarily difficult. Without Gohan's protection, the shockwaves from the collision of these energies alone would have crushed him into nothingness in an instant.

He looked up at the figure before him.

Son Gohan still held his arms outstretched, his wild black hair whipping about in the raging storm of energy.

"Gohan, the planet can't hold out much longer!" Trunks shouted. He could feel that Planet Vegeta's magnetic field had completely collapsed, and its core was rapidly contracting. It was a precursor to the planet's explosion.

Son Gohan remained expressionless, his golden eyes coolly sweeping over the frenzied Great Apes outside the barrier.

"Last-ditch struggle." Son Gohan gave a cold snort. His low voice remained clearly audible amid the earth-shaking explosions. "You ants are laughable, no matter how many of you there are."

He slowly lowered his arms.

The green barrier vanished instantly.

Trunks' pupils shrank.

"Roar—!"

With nothing left to stop them, tens of thousands of black pillars of light surged forward like a dam breaking, swallowing the spot where the two stood with the force to destroy everything.

Inside the palace hall.

Kakarot stood before the enormous void screen, watching as it turned completely black. A faintly amused smile curled his lips. "What fools. No matter how powerful he is, there's no way he can withstand a coordinated attack of this caliber without a scratch..."

But before he could finish, the smile froze on his face.

Crack!

A sharp sound of shattering came from the screen.

Then, at the heart of the black torrent of energy, a tiny, blinding crimson light suddenly appeared. It began expanding at a speed beyond light.

Boom—!!!

A crimson aura, ten or even a hundred times more violent than before, erupted like a tangible volcanic explosion, ripping the immense torrent of black energy to shreds from within!

Son Gohan hovered in midair, while Trunks behind him was firmly protected by a separate layer of green energy.

"My turn." Son Gohan raised his head, his wild eyes sweeping over the more than ten thousand Demonized Great Apes, each dozens of meters tall.

The Great Apes let out furious roars and opened their gaping jaws again, trying to gather a second wave of attacks.

"Disappear."

Son Gohan slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other at his waist.

The blue Kamehameha and the dark-green Massive Meteor blended perfectly, forming a dazzling blue-and-green sphere of light. The moment it appeared, the surrounding space cracked apart inch by inch like fragile glass.

A terrifying battle power of sixty quintillion was compressed into this one attack!

"Massive—"

The sphere of light swelled until it blotted out the sky. Before its power, all of Planet Vegeta seemed as tiny as a speck of dust, liable to be crushed at any moment.

"Ka! Me! Ha! Me! HAAAA!!!"

Son Gohan let out a battle cry that shook the galaxy and thrust both hands forward.

A blue-and-green pillar of light roared forth, reaching from heaven to earth.

The instant it touched the first Demonized Great Ape, its massive body vaporized without even a scream. The beam swept outward in a fan-shaped arc. Everything in its path—Great Apes, ruins, even the wreckage of indestructible interstellar battleships—was reduced to nothing by its absolute power.

It swept through everything in its path.

The beam skimmed across Planet Vegeta's surface, leveling half the planet's crust along with everything on it. Then this world-destroying force burst through the atmosphere and vanished into the depths of space, instantly vaporizing several moons and an asteroid belt containing millions of rocks along the way, leaving behind a pitch-black vacuum trail.

A few seconds later, the storm subsided.

The blinding light gradually faded.

Trunks stared blankly at the scene before him.

They were gone.

Everything was gone.

The Vegeta who had just been there, along with the more than ten thousand Golden Great Apes that had spread across the landscape and radiated a terrifying demonic aura, hadn't even left behind a speck.

Half the planet's surface had been shaved away, exposing the dark-red mantle. The enormous artificial full moon in the sky had also vanished in the aftermath of that power, replaced by the boundless darkness of space.

It was practically the power of a god.

Trunks swallowed and looked at Son Gohan with nothing but adoration in his eyes.

Son Gohan slowly lowered his hands. The aura around him gradually subsided, but his wild, long hair still danced freely in the gale. He paid no attention to the ants he had erased. Instead, he slowly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the striking structure in the distance.

It was the only place the wave of energy had just passed over without destroying.

The Saiyan Royal Palace.

The magnificent Saiyan Royal Palace stood untouched amid the surrounding devastation. The mantle had been torn up and exposed, yet the towering palace and its foundation remained completely intact.

"Are you still not coming out, Kakarot?"

Son Gohan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly into the depths of the palace.

"Clap. Clap. Clap."

The crisp sound of applause rang out unexpectedly across the silent planet.

Kakarot wore a fitted, dark-gold Battle Suit. On the face identical to Goku's was a gentle smile that made one deeply uncomfortable. He emerged from the palace and strode toward Son Gohan, stepping through the air. With each step, the ravaged land beneath him eerily returned to its original state.

"Quite a performance, Son Gohan." Kakarot looked down at him, his eyes filled with the curiosity one might show a rare animal. "I thought that after that idiot Broly died, I'd never see such pure wildness again. I never expected you to inherit that power and even master a transformation I've never seen before."

Trunks felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp.

The instant Kakarot appeared, every cell in Trunks' body seemed to scream in alarm. This man, whose face was identical to Uncle Goku's, was more dangerous than anyone he had ever encountered!

Son Gohan looked at him coldly. "You don't seem upset at all. Your subordinates, along with that Vegeta guy, have all been taken out by me."

"Upset?" Kakarot couldn't help laughing. "What's there to be upset about? They were all useless trash. Besides, life and death make no difference to me!"
