Chapter 174: Using the Spirit Bomb
Boom! Boom!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!
In the sky, the fierce battle between Frieza and the pairs of Yuujin and Goku raged on.
The combat between these humanoid monsters shook the heavens and the earth. The energy released from their clashes caused the magma beneath the ground to churn violently. Even Chi-Chi and Vegeta, watching from a distance, were filled with unease.
At the beginning, the two Yuujins and two Gokus held an absolute advantage, relentlessly suppressing Frieza and forcing him into a constant state of agony. However, Frieza was like an unkillable cockroach; though battered by Yuujin and Goku, he simply refused to die.
As time passed, the tide of battle began to shift.
The Yin-Yang Fist was excessively energy-consuming. If the enemy couldn't be defeated quickly, it left its users in a precarious situation.
Unfortunately, Frieza was the kind of formidable foe who wouldn't go down easily!
As the fight continued, the energy of Yuujin and Goku steadily weakened—
Tenfold Kaio-ken... ninefold Kaio-ken... eightfold Kaio-ken…
Eventually, they could barely maintain the Fivefold Kaio-ken, their combat strength hovering around 10 million. While Frieza's power had also greatly diminished, he was still in a much better position than Yuujin and Goku!
"Die!!!"
Sensing their weakening, Frieza finally rallied himself, letting out a savage roar as he seized the opportunity to strike. A powerful punch landed squarely on Yin Goku.
BOOM!!!!!!
A massive explosion lit up the sky, as Yin Goku was obliterated by Frieza's furious blow!
The memories and residual power of Yin Goku returned to Yang Goku, who reverted to her original form. However, her complexion turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
The Yin-Yang Fist allowed its users to survive as long as one twin remained, but the destruction of one avatar still caused significant harm to the user. Unsurprisingly, Goku's energy plummeted further.
Yin Yuujin immediately charged at Frieza to continue the battle, while Yang Yuujin took Goku and quickly retreated from the battlefield.
"Are you okay, Goku?" Yuujin asked with concern.
"I-I'm fine. I can still fight," Goku replied.
Taking a moment to calm her erratic energy, Goku's complexion recovered slightly.
Watching his doppelgänger fight desperately against Frieza, Yuujin fell silent.
By now, they were nearing their limits. If the fight continued like this, they would undoubtedly be killed by Frieza, and Earth would be destroyed.
Yuujin would never allow that to happen!
"Goku, let's use the Spirit Bomb."
Yuujin sighed softly as he spoke.
"Are we really going to use the Spirit Bomb, Yuujin?" Goku blinked in surprise.
"Yes. If we want to defeat Frieza, that's our only option. You and the other me will keep Frieza occupied while I gather Earth's energy to form the Spirit Bomb."
If it could be avoided, Yuujin didn't want to resort to this move. But the situation left him no choice.
"Alright!"
Goku never doubted Yuujin's decisions. If Yuujin had made up his mind, she would follow through.
Releasing her aura, Goku rejoined the battle alongside Yin Yuujin to distract Frieza. Meanwhile, Yang Yuujin stayed back, raising his hands toward the sky.
"Bulma, broadcast our image to Earth."
Knowing Bulma was likely monitoring them via satellite, Yuujin called out.
Sure enough, in the monitoring room at the temple, Bulma received the message. Her heart raced with excitement.
Yuujin and Goku were finally about to use that move—the legendary Spirit Bomb, said to surpass even the Kaio-ken!
"Hurry, transmit the footage from Mars to Earth!" Bulma ordered.
"Yes, Miss Bulma!" the operators responded.
Moments later, the battle on Mars was broadcast to every functioning communication device on Earth.
"People of Earth, raise your hands to the sky and lend me your energy!" Yuujin's voice echoed as he floated in the air.
"It's Lord Yuujin and Lady Goku!"
"They're fighting the enemy!"
"Everyone, raise your hands! Lord Yuujin needs our energy!"
"Lord Yuujin, take all our power!"
In shelters across Earth, people erupted with excitement upon seeing Yuujin and Goku battling on Mars. Without hesitation, they raised their hands, eager to contribute their energy.
In the original Dragon Ball, Goku had also attempted to borrow energy from Earth to create the Spirit Bomb and defeat Majin Buu. However, no one responded to his or Vegeta's pleas, dismissing them as frauds. Ultimately, it took Mr. Satan—a genuine con artist—to rally Earth's people.
But Yuujin's situation was entirely different. A simple call to action from him was enough to unite the entire planet.
Young and old, men and women alike, everyone raised their hands without hesitation. This was because Yuujin, the Guardian of Earth, had asked for their help.
This reaction was only natural. As Earth's Guardian, Yuujin commanded unparalleled respect and admiration. People revered, loved, and even worshipped him. Many were utterly devoted to him, treating him as a deity.
For Yuujin, gathering Earth's energy was as simple as speaking a single sentence.
"To force Yuujin into using the Spirit Bomb, it seems Frieza truly is an extraordinary foe," commented Master Roshi. "Everyone, lend your energy to Yuujin as well."
"Yes, Master Roshi!"
Not just ordinary citizens, but martial artists like Roshi, who were fighting off invaders on Earth, also sent their energy to Yuujin.
Countless streams of energy surged skyward, traversing space from Earth to Mars, coalescing above Yuujin into a massive Spirit Bomb.
"What... what is that?!" Vegeta exclaimed, her face pale as she saw the enormous energy sphere forming.
"That's the Spirit Bomb, a technique only Yuujin and Goku can use," Chi-Chi explained, standing beside him.
Even Frieza couldn't withstand the power of the Spirit Bomb. Its appearance signaled the end of the battle.
Yet Chi-Chi frowned deeply.
She knew Yuujin's true intent. He wanted to use this battle to push himself and Goku to transform into the legendary Super Saiyan. If their only goal were to defeat Frieza, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths. Forget the Spirit Bomb; even fusion would be more than enough to take him down.
For Yuujin to use the Spirit Bomb now meant they were truly at their limits. Yet his goal remained unfulfilled—neither he nor Goku had achieved the Super Saiyan transformation.
"Yuujin... are you really going to finish Frieza like this? Are you giving up on this opportunity…?"
