The two glittering figures floated in the sky. The power Vegeta displayed had completely ignited Son Gohan's fighting spirit.
Brimming with confidence, the two of them stared unwaveringly at Cell and Bojack.
Clap Clap Clap—!
A series of crisp claps echoed from Cell's palms.
Smiling as he approached the two, Cell's movements did not cause Vegeta or Son Gohan to relax their guard in the slightest.
Suddenly, Cell halted. He turned toward Bojack and said in a mocking tone:
"Looks like your subordinates aren't much after all, barely a match for my offspring."
Bojack curled his lips, still wearing an indifferent expression. Then, Cell turned his gaze to Vegeta. The smile faded from his face.
"Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta."
Vegeta sneered, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Hmph. I didn't expect a disgusting thing like you to know who I am."
"Tell me, what's going on with you? Why are there so many people's auras inside your body?"
Faced with Vegeta's question, Cell didn't answer directly. He simply repeated himself: "You want to know? It's simple, beat me, and I'll tell you."
His tone was arrogant as he spoke.
Vegeta had a vague feeling that Cell didn't just carry his aura, there was something about his personality that felt familiar too. Cell's proud demeanor annoyed Vegeta greatly.
Vegeta coldly snorted and replied, "Hmph! Arrogant bastard! Then let me show you what my fist feels like!"
Just as Vegeta was about to strike, Son Gohan suddenly shouted: "Vegeta Ojisan! I think we should fight him together!"
Son Gohan had already felt Cell's terrifying power. Though Vegeta had grown much stronger, Gohan could sense that Cell still hadn't shown his full strength. But the proud Saiyan prince would never agree. Vegeta immediately extended a hand and shook it, his way of rejecting Gohan's suggestion.
Gohan gave up the idea.
Cell crooked his finger at Vegeta, taunting: "Mmm. Not bad. I like you, Vegeta. In fact… you two coming at me together? I wouldn't mind that at all."
Vegeta's fighting spirit surged. In an instant, an unprecedented power exploded from his body.
"Enough talk!" His entire body tensed. With a loud roar, Vegeta leapt forward and charged at Cell with full force.
The fist he had long since powered up smashed toward Cell without reservation.
BOOM—!
A massive shockwave rippled out, shaking the very air. The sheer force kicked up clouds of dust, and for a moment, even Cell was pushed back, his body ceasing to slide only as his palm caught Vegeta's punch head-on.
With a grin on his lips, Cell said: "Hmm. Not bad. Interesting."
In the next moment, Cell turned his palm into a fist and launched a fierce counterattack. Fists and kicks rained down on each other's bodies as the two clashed, the wind from their blows howling across the battlefield.
In the sky, two afterimages flickered rapidly, an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to see what was happening.
Then, in an instant, Cell transformed into four copies of himself, and deployed Tien Shinhan's signature technique: Multiform (Four Witches Technique).
Gohan's eyes widened. This move stunned him. "Cell knows the Four Witches Technique?!"
The more Gohan saw, the more suspicious he became. Not only could Cell use the Kamehameha, now he could also perform the Multiform Technique?
Gohan kept watching the battle closely.
In the sky, Vegeta responded immediately. He pulled back to increase the distance.
He wasn't fazed, he was prepared for this. Both hands began to move rapidly, and under his control, countless energy blasts shot from his palms toward the four Cells.
Like a goddess scattering flowers, the energy blasts moved at incredible speed, filling the sky with smoke and explosions.
BOOM BOOM—!
The explosions echoed and faded, and finally, Cell's true body reappeared. However, this time, he was holding a red energy disc, Frieza's signature move: the Destructo Disc.
The red disc shot toward Vegeta. He merely glanced at it before his body moved at light speed, darting far into the distance.
One afterimage after another hung in the sky. Cell controlled the disc to relentlessly chase Vegeta.
He ran, it chased. A heart-pounding sequence unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Watching from the side, Bojack had to admit, he hadn't misjudged him. Cell was indeed a powerful and worthy partner. The next second, Bojack was suddenly shocked, he saw the red disc slice Vegeta's body in half.
Bojack froze for a moment, thinking to himself: Is it over already?
But in the blink of an eye, he realized something was wrong. The sliced body wasn't bleeding at all.
At that moment, a glint of bright light suddenly appeared in the sky.
A highly condensed energy blast was flying straight toward the red disc.
ZING—!
The blast struck the Destructo Disc and sent it flying, creating a brilliant burst of sparks in the air. Vegeta's proud figure reappeared in Bojack's line of sight.
It was now clear to Bojack: neither of these two combatants was ordinary.
In the next instant, Vegeta's body plummeted in a high-speed free fall, descending from the sky.
His thighs were pressed tightly together, the muscles coiled like springs. His entire body transformed into a human rocket, feet charged with thunderous energy, stomping down toward Cell.
In this split second of life and death, Cell's eyes sharpened. He crossed his arms above his head, ready to take Vegeta's blow head-on.
BOOM—!
Ahem, dear reader, this chapter continues on the next page. Click ahead for even more excitement! A deafening, tearing noise rang out as the ground beneath Cell shattered into pieces. In an instant, it had become a massive crater over a hundred meters wide.
Cell and Vegeta stood at the center of this enormous pit, whose depth continued to increase by the second.
This attack from Vegeta was devastating, both in speed and power.
In the blink of an eye, rocks burst forth like surging waves. Vegeta's sharp gaze locked onto Cell, as if silently asking:
Well? Still feeling cocky now? But in the very next second, Cell slowly lifted his head and stared back at Vegeta.
His expression changed, and even the flying debris seemed to pause in midair.
Then, he burst out laughing, starting from a restrained chuckle and escalating to a hearty roar.
This scene left the three others completely dumbfounded.
Cell shouted loudly: "Exhilarating! That was absolutely exhilarating!!"
Vegeta frowned deeply, finding Cell's reaction extremely strange. Seeing him like this, Vegeta decided to throw in a few more punches for good measure.
"Bastard! Your laugh is even uglier than your face!"
BAM BAM BAM—!
Explosive punches thundered against Cell's chest. Yet Cell remained unmoved, standing tall like a mountain.
With a cold smirk, he said: "Vegeta… you've earned the right to see my full power."
As he finished speaking, Cell's aura finally stopped holding back. He raised his arms high above his head, and with a sudden downward thrust—
"AAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
With a deafening roar, golden light engulfed his body once again. His immense aura instantly overwhelmed the light surrounding Vegeta.
The expression on Vegeta's face changed drastically, he involuntarily stepped back several paces. Watching from the sidelines, Son Gohan frowned. Cell's power had now completely surpassed his own.
As for Bojack, he simply watched Cell's performance with great interest, clearly enjoying the show.
