A brief moment of tranquility, a welcome relief after the disaster, enveloped everything.
Turles and Son Gohan exchanged a smile, a knowing smile that needed no words, a relaxed smile that dispelled all doubts.
The tranquility was soon shattered by a sudden noise.
Not far away, the figure that Cell had expelled from his body and had been unconscious suddenly moved.
Android 17 has awakened.
He propped himself up in a daze, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding ruins before finally settling on Turles and Son Gohan not far away.
A deep-seated vigilance and arrogance quickly surfaced on his face.
His body instinctively assumed a fighting stance.
The smiles on Turles' and Son Gohan's faces vanished abruptly. They looked at each other again, and this time, nodded simultaneously.
Turles remained motionless, Son Gohan slowly turned around.
He walked step by step toward Android 17.
"Yo."
" Son Gohan!"
"How come you're alive too?"
Android 17 arrogantly stretched out his finger and beckoned to Son Gohan.
"Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for you again. I'll just finish you off right here!"
Upon hearing Son Gohan Android 17's familiar tone, Gohan was filled with rage!
His response was a thunderous burst of golden flames!
He transformed back into Super Saiyan!
His figure blurred into a blurry afterimage and vanished from Android 17's sight in an instant!
What?!
The smile on Android 17's face froze completely. Before he could even react, an irresistible, excruciating pain shot through his abdomen!
Son Gohan's figure had appeared before him without him even noticing.
A devastating knee strike landed squarely on Android 17's abdomen!
A tremendous impact!
Let Android 17's body bend painfully!
Son Gohan gave him no chance to catch his breath.
He leaped up, clasped his hands above his head, and, carrying all the frustration, despair, and guilt he had felt over the years, slammed heavily onto Android 17's back!
Android 17's body was slammed hard into the crater in the ground!
The earth trembled violently, raising clouds of dust!
"Cough... cough cough..."
Android 17, still lying on the ground, looked on with a bewildered expression!
How could Son Gohan possess such immense power?
"Unforgivable!"
Enraged, Android 17 no longer bothered to think and waved his hands repeatedly, unleashing Ki Wave towards Son Gohan like a torrential rain!
These Ki Blast that used to give Son Gohan a huge headache are now just energy balls that Son Gohan can easily swat away!
The flames and smoke from the explosion could not stop his advance.
How could this be...?
Android 17's attacks grew faster and more frantic, but his heart was enveloped by an unprecedented chill.
Braving the blast wave, Son Gohan surged forward through the smoke and dust.
Under the horrified gaze of Android 17, he grabbed his neck tightly and lifted him off the ground!
"Uh... let... let go!"
Android 17 struggled desperately, kicking his legs wildly in the air and trying his best to pry Son Gohan's hands off.
"It's over."
A dazzling golden energy began to gather in the palm of Son Gohan's other hand.
The shadow of death completely enveloped Android 17.
No! Don't!
"Don't kill me!"
"I'm not the original Android 17 anymore! Before becoming an android, I was just an ordinary human!"
Android 17 was crying uncontrollably, pleading incoherently.
Please! I know I was wrong!
"I will go back to living a normal and peaceful life as a human being!"
Son Gohan remained unmoved, "Too late!"
"Countless lives on Earth have been lost because of you; you have no chance to be reborn!"
His palm had already pushed the ball of energy onto Android 17's body!
A burst of blazing golden light engulfed Android 17!
When Son Gohan withdrew his hands, there was nothing in front of him...
Thus, the artificial humans who brought endless disasters to Earth were finally completely wiped out!
Son Gohan slowly raised his head and gazed at the empty sky.
My nerves, which had been stretched to their limit, suddenly relaxed, and an indescribable feeling of exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave.
My eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably.
finally!
We've avenged everyone!
Turles slowly walked to his side and stood silently.
He didn't speak, but simply stayed quietly with Son Gohan, gazing together at the devastated sky and earth that had witnessed the final battle.
Son Gohan to look at the man beside him who looked exactly like his father, yet gave him a completely different feeling.
Turles turned his head and met Son Gohan's gaze.
He slowly raised his fist and stopped between the two of them.
Son Gohan paused for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
He also raised his fist.
The two fists lightly touched in mid-air...
Above the Kami's Lookout.
Dende came out of the Lookout.
In his hands, he carefully held a Eternal Dragon statue that had completely lost its color and looked like an ordinary stone.
" Dende!"
Turles, Son Gohan, and Bulma's attention were instantly drawn to it.
Dende came outside the palace and presented the gray-white Eternal Dragon statue to everyone.
"This must be Earth's Eternal Dragon! Although it has lost its life force, as long as this serves as a medium..."
He took a deep breath, his face radiating confidence.
"I should be able to revive the Dragon Ball soon!"
Upon hearing this, the three people beside him exchanged a smile.
They all laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
Without further hesitation, Dende gently placed the Eternal Dragon statue on the Lookout's pristine white floor, then closed his eyes and began chanting the ancient and sacred Namekian Language.
As Dende chanted his incantation, a faint glow began to emanate from the surface of the greyish-white Eternal Dragon statue.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and the originally gray stone surface seemed to be infused with life, gradually regaining its vibrant emerald green color.
"Buzz--!"
A soft chime resounded through the sky.
The Eternal Dragon statue suddenly erupted with seven dazzling streams of light, like seven shooting stars, soaring into the sky and scattering towards all parts of the earth!
at the same time.
In every corner of the earth, the Dragon Ball that had turned to stone after the death of the Kami regained their warm luster and transformed back into those familiar orange spheres the moment they were infused with the flowing light.
final!
"Success!"
Dende wiped the sweat from his brow, a relieved smile spreading across his face.
"Marvelous!"
Bulma reacted the fastest; she almost immediately pulled out the Dragon Radar from the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
When she saw the seven clearly flashing orange dots on the Dragon Radar screen, she could no longer contain her joy and jumped up excitedly!
"It's true! Dragon Ball have really been revived!"
Son Gohan even waved his arms excitedly!
"That way... that way, everyone can come back!"
"Earth... can return to normal!"
"That's great! That's great!"
As Turles watched this scene unfold, a subtle smile crept onto his lips.
It was at this moment, a time of warmth and anticipation.
A familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Mr. Turles! I'm sorry to bother you again!"
"It's about the sealing of Majin Buu; we'd like to discuss it with you!"
