Pale green flames erupted from Cell's body.

The surrounding walls, which were already on the verge of collapse, began to crumble piece by piece.

The gravel was crushed into powder before it even had a chance to fall.

Even the ground beneath Son Gohan was cracking slightly.

He was propelled backward by this force.

Their feet carved two long furrows in the ground.

But this is the only place he can retreat to.

His gaze gradually hardened.

Now, besides himself, there is nothing left on Earth!

Son Gohan bent over.

The rocks beneath their feet crumbled.

His body was about to move.

Cell has already disappeared!

boom--!

A deafening sonic boom echoed through the air.

The two figures collided instantly.

Son Gohan raised his arm to defend.

But Cell's fist passed right through his stance.

It slammed heavily into Son Gohan's chest.

Despite the excruciating pain, Son Gohan used the force of the punch to flip backward.

Raise both hands simultaneously.

"Haa!"

Golden light bullets flew out in a continuous barrage from his palm.

However, before Son Gohan's Ki Blast could even touch Cell, it was blocked by a semi-circular energy shield.

The intercepted Ki Blast detonated upon encountering subsequent Ki Blast.

The scene was instantly filled with the sound of explosions.

Cell was completely covered in smoke and dust!

Son Gohan stared ahead.

At times like these, we cannot let our guard down for even a moment!

With complete concentration, Son Gohan finally jolted awake and looked up.

Where are you looking?

Cell's voice followed closely from above.

Clench your fists in a fist salute.

Smash it down hard!

Bang--!

Even though they managed to defend themselves at the last moment, they still couldn't withstand the attack.

Son Gohan's entire body fell from the sky.

Like a blazing meteor!

Boom!

He crashed into the center of the ruins.

The ground collapsed.

A massive crater spread outwards!

Smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring half the city.

Cell hovered in mid-air, looking down at the bottom of the pit.

"You're probably more than that, get serious!"

The next moment.

boom!

The rubble at the bottom of the pit was all blown apart.

Golden flames rose from the center of the ruins.

This time, it was even more intense than before.

The collapsed ground continued to sink.

The crumbling walls are peeling away piece by piece.

The window frames of the half-built high-rise building in the distance were all blown off by the force.

Son Gohan stood in the center of the golden aura.

The hem of her clothes trembled wildly.

His body shot skyward.

The speed has increased significantly compared to the beginning!

Just as Cell was about to raise his hand, Son Gohan was already right in front of him.

A straight punch!

Bang!

Cell raised his arm to block.

A white shockwave spread out between the two of them!

Son Gohan's attack has only just begun!

A barrage of punches and kicks rained down on Cell!

Cell's movements became increasingly faster as he countered the attack!

The two figures crossed paths at high speed in mid-air.

Each collision sends a white shockwave blasting through the sky.

The ruins on the ground were leveled layer by layer.

Son Gohan Cell in Cell shoulder.

Cell tilted his body and grabbed Gohan's wrist with his other hand.

Son Gohan quickly pulled away and spun around, kicking Cell in the Cell.

Cell raised his palm to take the hit.

The palm of the foot collided with the instep.

The shockwave seemed to tear the sky apart.

Cell stepped back slightly.

The two then maintained a relatively safe distance from each other.

Cell looked down at his palm.

The kick he just received sent a brief tingling or numb sensation through his metacarpal bone.

"Good."

"Much better than before."

" Son Gohan! You're really something!"

Son Gohan did not speak.

He was simply staring intently at Cell.

At the same time, he adjusted his breathing.

Cell's aura began to rise.

The original pale green halo was completely squeezed out and swallowed up, replaced by a dazzling golden light.

Golden lightning crackled all around him!

boom--!

The violent air currents transformed into a towering tornado, sweeping wildly across the entire ruins centered on him.

The earth wailed, and the remaining building structures were uprooted and torn to dust in mid-air.

The sky seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, the clouds twisted and torn apart, and the entire Earth's atmosphere trembled violently in response to the arrival of this force.

Son Gohan stood on the edge of the storm, his golden hair blowing in the wind, but his figure remained motionless, his brows furrowed.

Finally, the devastating aura stabilized.

The golden aura subsided slightly.

Golden lightning still flickered and swirled around his body.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at Son Gohan with an elegant and satisfied smile on his lips.

"That's enough, Son Gohan!"

"It is an honor for you to have the privilege of witnessing my full power."

"As a reward, I'll give you a warrior's death. How does that sound?"

Son Gohan adjusted his fighting stance.

Words have lost all meaning at this moment.

Cell slightly curled the corners of his lips.

The next instant, his figure vanished again.

It's here!

Son Gohan's Saiyan fighting instincts were screaming warnings!

He suddenly twisted his waist and turned around, crossing his arms in a flash to protect his chest.

Bang!!!

Cell's powerful punch, like a cannonball, landed squarely on his arm.

It's completely unstoppable!

Son Gohan's figure shot out instantly.

She was like a kite with a broken string.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His body crashed through several remaining skyscrapers.

Cell remained suspended in place, casually extending his palm and firing a series of Ki Blast in the direction Son Gohan had flown.

The subsequent suppression was completed.

Then, in an instant, another explosion followed!

A barrage of heavy punches rained down on Son Gohan's defenseless body.

The number of wounds on Son Gohan's body is visibly increasing.

Fragments of fabric kept fluttering up from the martial arts uniform!

Perhaps Cell was feeling tired, or perhaps he thought Son Gohan couldn't withstand any more attacks!

The last energy ball landed precisely on Son Gohan.

The scene was once again engulfed in golden light!

Cell's figure appeared high in the sky, his face still showing an expression of unfinished business.

It seems that he was feeling regretful because he might soon lose Son Gohan as his "rival".

The smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated.

As the commotion subsided.

Son Gohan, his body covered in bruises and bloodstains, his clothes tattered, stood up again.

Cell was slightly taken aback by what he saw.

"Oh? You can actually stand up?"

"It's much more durable than I expected!"

Son Gohan finally spoke.

He reached up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

I think I've made a mistake.

"If this is all the power you have..."

"Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as we think..."

Cell frowned upon hearing this. "What?"

"Indeed, I used to be very weak..."

"There's no way to protect everyone from the androids..."

"I don't want this to happen again!"

As Cell's brow furrowed, Son Gohan clenched his fists.

Just as he was about to make a move, the sudden appearance of a figure from behind interrupted his thoughts.

"Dad?"

"We made it!"

The figure's gaze went straight to Cell.

They spotted the strange, distorted symbol on his forehead—the M!
