Goku VS Young Great Demon King

After Master Roshi was defeated, Chiaotzu, the only one still able to move, tried to stop King Piccolo from making a wish to Shenron. In the end, he died as well.

Only Tien Shinhan and Krillin survived.

Afterward, King Piccolo summoned Shenron and wished to return to his youth. Once the wish was granted, he killed Shenron.

Having regained his youth, King Piccolo immediately imprisoned the reigning king and became the new king himself.

At the same time, Goku drank the Ultra Divine Water and rushed toward King Piccolo's location.

West City

The crowds in the streets scattered in panic like startled beasts. Screams, cries, and the thunderous crashes of collapsing objects intertwined into a symphony of despair.

News of King Piccolo becoming king spread through the entire city like a plague.

"Lin Yuan, what... what exactly is happening outside?"

Launch tightly gripped Lin Yuan's arm, her eyes beneath her blue hair filled with terror. She had just come out of the kitchen, still holding the kitchen knife she had been using to prepare lunch.

Lin Yuan gently held her trembling hand, sensing the fear permeating the city.

"King Piccolo has already taken control of the king of Keslugin City. His next target is West City."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud crash came from the front door. Three burly men in prison uniforms, their faces covered in flesh, kicked the door open. Their eyes gleamed with madness and greed.

"Haha, there really are people here!"

The scar-faced leader sneered. "Hand over all your valuables, and also..."

His gaze landed on Launch, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Launch, get behind me," Lin Yuan said softly, shielding her behind him.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you—"

The scar-faced man's words were cut short. Lin Yuan's fist had already sunk into his abdomen. The big man's eyes bulged as he doubled over like a cooked shrimp.

Before the other two could react, Lin Yuan had flashed between them, his knife-hands striking the nerves in their necks with precision.

One second. The three thugs collapsed to the floor like rag dolls.

"It's okay now."

Lin Yuan gently stroked Launch's back while sensing several powerful auras in the distance. The battle had begun.

Lin Yuan first sent Launch into the Ultra Instinct Dojo. West City was far too chaotic right now; the dojo was safer.

After telling Karino to protect Launch and the dojo, Lin Yuan sensed Tien Shinhan's aura. He used Instant Transmission and vanished from the spot.

The moment Lin Yuan arrived in Keslugin City, he saw Tien Shinhan battling a massive green monster.

"What's wrong, three-eyed kid? Where did that spirit from before go?" Drum licked the blood from his nails. "Your blood tastes pretty good."

Tien Shinhan panted heavily as he secretly analyzed the situation. Continuing to fight this monster would only leave them both badly hurt. He couldn't wait any longer—he had to find an opening and use the Evil Containment Wave on King Piccolo!

Tien Shinhan glanced at King Piccolo, who stood watching from the side with an utterly unconcerned expression, as if victory were already his.

"Now!" Tien Shinhan suddenly sprang into action, but instead of charging at Drum, he threw a capsule toward King Piccolo. His hands rapidly formed seals as the energy throughout his body surged wildly.

"Evil Containment Wave!"

A dazzling green energy wave burst from Tien Shinhan's palms and shot straight toward King Piccolo!

After Master Roshi died, Tien Shinhan had sworn that he would master the Evil Containment Wave and avenge him!

King Piccolo's expression froze instantly. That green face, always twisted in mockery, showed terror once again.

"N-No way!"

King Piccolo cried out as he desperately tried to dodge.

Just as the Evil Containment Wave was about to strike, the green monster from earlier suddenly flashed in front of Piccolo. "Don't even think about hurting Lord Piccolo!" He spread his arms and forcibly took the sealing technique head-on with his body.

"What?!" Tien Shinhan's eyes widened as he watched Drum howl in agony within the green energy, yet refuse to take even a single step back.

"Well done, Drum!" King Piccolo quickly regained his composure and raised a hand, firing an energy blast that precisely struck the rice cooker beside Tien Shinhan.

"Bang!" The rice cooker exploded into fragments, and the Evil Containment Wave's energy scattered and dissipated in the air. The backlash struck Tien Shinhan like lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees.

"Hahaha! Fool!" King Piccolo laughed wildly. "Kill him, Drum!"

Covered in wounds, Drum grinned viciously as he approached the barely conscious Tien Shinhan. "Die, human..."

Tien Shinhan's vision began to blur. In despair, he thought, It's over... everything is over...

Just as Drum raised his claws, an explosive boom rang out from the sky, and an orange figure fell like a meteor!

"Bang!"

Drum was sent flying backward, smashing into a building and losing all signs of life.

Tien Shinhan looked at the spiky-haired, tailed youth before him, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

"G-Goku... That's great! You're alive!"

Goku's gaze was as sharp as a blade as he stared fixedly at King Piccolo.

"Leave the rest to me! I'll definitely defeat him!"

King Piccolo looked astonished. "It's you? You're actually still alive! I clearly remember that your heart had already stopped beating."

Goku assumed a fighting stance. "I won't die before I defeat you!"

King Piccolo burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha! I'm no longer the man I was before! I've become younger, and my strength has increased by a huge margin! You still dare to dream of defeating me? Fine, then I'll send you to your death one more time!"

The next second, the two figures collided like lightning, the dull crashes of fists and kicks striking each other like exploding thunder.

Goku was unbelievably fast, and King Piccolo could only barely fend him off.

Goku landed a heavy punch in King Piccolo's abdomen, making him spew a mouthful of acidic fluid. Then a spinning kick struck his chin, sending Piccolo's massive body flying dozens of meters and crashing through three ruined walls.

"How is this possible?" Piccolo struggled to his feet. "How could you have become so much stronger? You're just a mortal! How could you possibly be a match for me?!"

"I have to kill you." Once he calmed down, Piccolo's expression gradually turned crazed as green energy enveloped his body. His aura rose once more.

"I hadn't intended to use my full strength, because it would shorten my lifespan. But since you want to die, I'll grant your wish! Die!"

Piccolo instantly appeared before Goku, his heavy fists raining down. Goku refused to be outdone and struck back.

Their battle rose to a new level. They moved so quickly that even Tien Shinhan could only see two afterimages constantly colliding, while the shockwaves leveled the surrounding buildings.

Even against Piccolo, whose strength had surged once again, Goku still held a slight advantage. With a clever use of his opponent's force, Goku hurled Piccolo viciously to the ground, smashing out a deep crater over ten meters wide.

"Aaaaargh!"

Piccolo leaped up in fury, gathering a massive ball of energy between his hands before blasting it at Goku.

Blinding light swallowed the spot where Goku stood, and a mushroom cloud from the explosion rose into the sky. The sheer force of the blast made the earth tremble.

When the dust settled, the city at the center of the explosion had vanished without a trace. All that remained was a crater nearly a thousand meters across.

Piccolo panted heavily as he looked at his "masterpiece," his heart filled with pride. That little monkey is dead for sure. No one could survive an attack of that magnitude.

Just as he was about to laugh aloud, he saw three figures slowly descending from the sky.

Lin Yuan was carrying Tien Shinhan and Goku, having helped them evade the attack.

"Ha ha, it's you, Lin Yuan! Thanks!" Goku flashed a brilliant smile.

After landing on the ground, Lin Yuan shrugged. "Are you all right, Goku? Want me to take over?"

Goku's gaze immediately turned serious. "No. I have to avenge Krillin and Grandpa Master Roshi! I have to defeat him with my own hands!"

"Fine!" Lin Yuan said no more. He flew with Tien Shinhan to the other side, leaving the battlefield to Goku. He also fed Tien Shinhan a Senzu Bean.

Tien Shinhan instantly recovered his strength. Feeling the power within his body fill up in an instant, he wore an incredulous expression!

The battle that followed was completely one-sided. Goku's attacks came like a raging storm, battering Piccolo back step by step as green blood sprayed across the battlefield. An uppercut sent Piccolo flying, and Goku immediately leaped after him, bringing both legs down like battle axes. Piccolo slammed into the ground like a meteor.

Covered in wounds, Piccolo unwillingly flew high into the sky, preparing to pour all his energy into one final gamble.

Goku showed no weakness either. He immediately drew his hands back to his waist and unleashed the Kamehameha.

"Haaaaaah!!"

"Kamehameha!"

"Boom!"

Two powerful beams collided violently in midair with an ear-splitting roar. Yellow energy and blue energy pressed against each other without yielding an inch.

Both of them gritted their teeth as the stalemate continued for around thirty seconds. The yellow energy gradually began to lose ground, swallowed bit by bit by the blue light. Seizing the moment, Goku exerted himself once more.

The blue light instantly flared, devouring the yellow energy completely and brutally piercing through King Piccolo's abdomen.

"No... impossible..."

Piccolo lowered his head to look at the hole in his chest as green blood gushed out. His body began to crumble apart. At the final moment, he suddenly puffed out his cheeks and spat a huge egg toward a distant valley.

"The Demon Clan will not perish! My son, you must avenge me..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Piccolo's body exploded with a thunderous blast, while the giant egg had already vanished beyond the horizon.
