Annihilate Turles!

Seeing the tiny, bug-like thing in his hand, Son Gohan's gaze sharpened, and the Demon Realm immediately came to mind.

Because this thing looked very much like a specialty of the Demon Realm.

It seemed to be called a Revival Bug. Its effects were similar to a Senzu Bean's, capable of instantly recovering from all injuries.

With that thing, it was no wonder Turles had recovered in an instant.

But how did he have something like that? Had he been to the Demon Realm, or did he possess some other strange means?

If it was the latter, then he had to be extremely careful.

After all, if Turles had merely been to the Demon Realm, then as long as he did not cosplay Tien Shinhan, he would not be an opponent Son Gohan could not handle.

But the latter held infinite possibilities!

Thinking that his opponent might still have other tricks, he silently increased the Kaioken multiplier. He had now reached the limit of four times.

This was also the greatest intensity his body could currently withstand.

If he forcibly raised the multiplier any further, he would end up just like his father when using four times Kaioken.

Although it could temporarily raise his battle power, his body would instantly collapse. That was hardly worth the cost.

Turles directly swallowed the bug, and his injuries instantly recovered. Then, with a sinister grin, he took a dark red fruit from beneath his burned cloak.

That thing looked extraordinarily unusual at a glance. It was clearly the so-called Tree of Might fruit.

"Heh heh, although you really are stronger than you were back then!"

Turles raised the fruit before his mouth and sneered. "But I'll be the winner this time!"

As he spoke, he was about to eat the Tree of Might fruit.

At that very instant.

The crimson aura suddenly flared up. Before Turles could react, he felt his hand go empty.

An incredulous expression instantly appeared in his eyes.

Where had his huge Tree of Might fruit gone? How had it vanished from his hand in the blink of an eye?

His confusion did not last long.

He saw that Son Gohan, hovering above him, was holding a Tree of Might fruit in his hand.

"What?"

Turles's confidence instantly turned into fear. He had clearly watched the brat make a move before; the other party's speed should not have been this fast. What was going on now?

Still, he was someone who had lived through death once, and he made a decision in an instant.

He turned and flew toward the abyss where the Tree of Might seed had fallen.

At the same time.

He continuously fired countless ki blasts from both hands, clearly intending to stop Son Gohan in midair.

Before Son Gohan could examine the nature of the Tree of Might fruit, he saw that Turles intended to flee. He immediately stopped distracting himself and chased after him at even greater speed.

The densely packed ki blasts came raining down like raindrops.

Yet the red streak of light darted through them, evading every attack at extreme speed and reaching Turles in an instant.

Turles also twisted his body around at once. His hands circled, and a ring-shaped ki blast instantly formed.

Then, as he spread his hands outward, it continued to grow larger.

Boom!

The energy ring smashed viciously toward Son Gohan.

This time, Son Gohan did not dodge. He came to an abrupt stop in midair, then savagely kicked at the ring.

Wrapped in an aura of extremely high density, that single kick directly shattered the ring.

The ring then turned into a rain of light and fell away.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that none of his techniques could stop his opponent, Turles was already furious beyond measure, his eyes bloodshot.

He originally still had a special method called the Fusion Bug that he could use.

But the brat had killed all of his subordinates. Even if he wanted to use the Fusion Bug now, there was nothing he could do.

The only option now was to wait for the Tree of Might to grow.

But with the speed the brat had displayed, he could not possibly wait until the Tree of Might matured!

Damn it!

Who would have thought that, after getting another chance, he would be driven into a corner by this brat? And now, he did not have many means to fight back.

Could the great Lord Turles truly fail to conquer the universe once again and die on this planet?

As fury and shock churned within him, Son Gohan had already launched a fierce attack.

He had already seen that Turles was connected to the Demon Realm, and he was worried that his opponent had other tricks. Therefore, he intended to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Wrapped in crimson aura, his blood raced faster through his body, while his muscles swelled visibly.

Bzz!

The piercing sonic boom rang out with startling clarity in the night sky.

Turles looked up to see Son Gohan already before him. He swiftly raised his own power to its limit, intending to meet him in a decisive clash.

Yet when the fierce wind arrived, the crimson aura abruptly changed direction, forcibly making a huge arc through the air.

Before he could react further, he felt a violent pain in his waist.

It felt as though his body were about to be torn apart right down the middle.

Clearly, his opponent was moving so fast that he could no longer react at all.

"How is this possible? A Saiyan's recovery from near death should greatly increase their battle power. My battle power should have risen significantly—so why is there still such a huge gap between us?"

As Turles fell forward, he still found it unbelievable.

He struggled to reach for the pouch at his waist containing the Revival Bugs.

But with his waistbone shattered, every movement brought excruciating pain.

Even a low-class warrior raised amid bloodshed found it difficult to endure such agony long enough to retrieve something.

Fortunately, his suffering did not last long.

Son Gohan had already developed the intent to kill. With his hands stacked before his forehead, he unleashed a Demon Flash charged with fourfold Kaioken.

Crack!

Dense lightning swiftly coiled around Son Gohan's body.

The intertwined red and white radiance shone with blinding intensity, bathing even the abyss where the Tree of Might grew in light pollution.

That aura was overwhelmingly powerful, yet it rapidly spread to an incredibly distant place.

Outside the forest.

Sensing the disturbance within the forest, Son Goku had come out to investigate.

Then he realized that the aura fighting over there seemed to belong to Gohan.

Yet the intensity of that aura puzzled him. He knew Gohan well—though the boy had great potential, his lack of training meant that he should not have possessed anywhere near this much power.

But that aura was now no weaker than his own!

He sensed that something was wrong and immediately sped toward the distance at full speed, only to see an incomparably brilliant light flare in the distance.

Crimson aura intertwined with blue-white light, and the energy was so powerful that even he found it unbelievable.

"Kaioken?"

Having taught Gohan this technique, he naturally recognized the meaning of that aura at once.

But he had only explained the move to Gohan earlier that day. He had not even let him try it, so how had the boy already used it directly?

"Seriously, Gohan's talent really amazes me. When I learned this move back then, it took me nearly a month!"

Thinking of his arduous training on King Kai's Planet, delight and astonishment filled his eyes.

However, his expression soon turned solemn as he looked toward the person opposite Gohan. Who was Gohan's opponent? Why did that hairstyle look somewhat familiar?

Rumble!

The energy wave condensed to its utmost limit blasted forth in the next instant, striking the distant figure head-on.

The thick beam of light pierced diagonally upward through the earth, continuing to extend into the universe!
