This immense, reality-distorting evil energy has traversed galaxies and even spread into the vast and distant universe!
Planet Yardrat.
The warriors, who were engaged in intensive training, suddenly stopped what they were doing.
"This! This kind of energy!"
Son Goku suddenly opened his eyes, a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appearing on his forehead. He stared at the deep starry sky with a look of horror on his face.
On another hilltop not far away, Piccolo also turned his head to look into the distance, his face more solemn than ever before.
A golden aura shot into the sky, and Vegeta's figure appeared in mid-air. His pupils shrank, and his body tensed up instinctively.
Even those further away, such as Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Amond, and Daiz, stopped training, feeling suffocated by the sheer intensity of the pure malice emanating from them.
"So... so evil..." Krillin's voice trembled.
Grand Elder Pybara leaned on his cane, his expression solemn as he gazed up at the sky, his aged voice trembling slightly.
"Such immense evil energy... Is the universe about to face an unprecedented crisis...?"
Without further hesitation, Son Goku immediately put two fingers together on his forehead, trying to pinpoint the source of the energy.
His expression grew even more grim.
"How could this be...?"
"This... is Earth!"
Earth, a desolate Gobi Desert.
Phantom Majin Hirudegarn had regained his full form, was roaring hysterically to the sky.
"Roar--!!!"
The violent sound waves shattered the surrounding rock layers, the earth groaned, and space trembled.
Hoi hovered in mid-air, arms outstretched, reveling in the power, laughing wildly with an air of invincibility.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? This is the complete Phantom Majin!"
After the laughter subsided, he pointed with a sinister gaze at Tapion was lying on the verge of death in the ruins below.
" Hirudegarn! Go! Kill that guy!"
"Roar!"
Hirudegarn's bloodshot eyes locked onto Tapion with a vicious glare.
This is the guy! This damned hero has imprisoned himself for a full thousand years!
It roared and its thick, long tail lashed out fiercely at Tapion's body!
This powerful tail lash came to an abrupt halt right in front of Tapion!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
A dazzling golden light, unnoticed, suddenly appeared, blocking Tapion's path.
A boy wearing a Planet Metamor had his two small hands firmly supporting Hirudegarn's huge tail.
"Big brother!"
With his back to Tapion, Gotenks's body suddenly expanded with a violent golden aura!
Then, his eyes sharpened!
The originally wildly outward-spreading golden aura began to shrink inward at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Ultimately, a highly refined, almost tangible, golden coating formed on his body surface!
Even the space around him was slightly distorted by this high-density air!
I will protect you!
Gotenks grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"This hideous monster, I'll take it on!"
He roared and tightened his grip on Hirudegarn's tail!
"Get up!"
With his extreme physical strength, Gotenks actually managed to drag the mountain-sized Hirudegarn off the ground!
"Wh... what?!"
In mid-air, Hoi's old face was filled with utter horror.
Under the watchful eyes of Hoi, whose mind was almost at a standstill, Gotenks, as if wielding a giant meteor hammer, grabbed Hirudegarn's tail and swung it through the air!
Whew--Whew--
Gotenks suddenly let go.
Whoosh--!!!
Hirudegarn's enormous body was sent flying backward in an instant!
It crashed into and shattered several majestic mountain peaks, burying them amidst the swirling debris and dust.
Having landed a successful blow, Gotenks triumphantly stood in mid-air, hands on hips, head held high, and let out his signature wild laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He turned to look at Tapion below, pointed his thumb at his nose, and arrogantly declared.
"How about that? Now you know how powerful I am, big brother!"
"I don't think we need any plan! I can just take care of him right here!"
After emerging from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gotenks ' foundation was on a completely different level!
Although he can no longer use his power as freely as his master, his precision has improved by leaps and bounds!
In addition, there's a deep adaptation to the Super Saiyan state!
As long as you can maintain a good state of mind, performing exceptionally well is commonplace!
Tapion did not let his guard down despite Gotenks ' overconfidence.
He endured the excruciating pain that felt like his body was being torn apart, took out a Senzu Bean that Turles had given him beforehand, and quickly popped it into his mouth.
With the Senzu Bean inside, a miraculous power instantly coursed through Tapion's body, and his severe injuries were visibly healed.
But he remained wary, one hand desperately reaching for the Hero's Flute at his waist.
"Roar--!"
Hirudegarn let out a deafening roar, bursting into the sky from the pile of rocks with boundless rage, her crimson eyes fixed on Gotenks in mid-air.
"Well done! I'll beat you into a pulp!"
Undeterred, Gotenks unleashed a burst of golden flames, transforming into a dazzling meteor as he charged head-on into Hirudegarn's massive body!
Two figures, one large and one small, collided violently in the desolate Gobi Desert!
Gotenks missed his punch and leaned forward due to inertia.
Hirudegarn instant, and her thick arm slammed into Gotenks ' back like a battering ram!
Gotenks twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, crossing his arms to withstand the attack, and was knocked back hundreds of meters.
He wiped his mouth, his initial disdain fading.
"Turns out he's just a coward who plays hide-and-seek!"
Fists and kicks clashed, air currents surged, and sonic booms exploded like dense thunder. The two fought fiercely, and the sky darkened instantly!
Taking advantage of his size and speed, Gotenks unleashed a series of powerful punches at Hirudegarn.
Hirudegarn's body rapidly and eerily transformed into a cloud of black mist!
The battle reached a stalemate.
Hirudegarn managed to stop Gotenks's fierce attack by using his shameless intangibility ability.
However, Gotenks ' terrifying Super Saiyan power made Hirudegarn hesitant to engage in a direct confrontation and instead look for an opportunity to attack.
Tapion, on the ground, kept a close eye on the battle. After confirming that Hirudegarn completely tied down, he slowly released his grip on the Hero's Flute.
His gaze locked onto Hoi face was filled with astonishment.
Tapion gripped the Hero's Sword tightly with both hands, his eyes resolute.
He flashed, becoming a blur, and charged straight towards Hoi!
