Chapter 253

Abel relentlessly swung his black sword, unleashing wave after wave of sword energy that sliced through the incoming ki blasts. Then, with a sudden leap, he rocketed toward Piccolo like a missile.

Piccolo quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and Abel.

Abel immediately brandished his black sword, unleashing a storm-like wave of energy that tore through the sky, heading straight for Piccolo.

In response, Piccolo pushed his hands forward without hesitation, unleashing a powerful shockwave to neutralize the incoming sword energy.

As the shockwave dissipated, Abel placed his black sword under his feet, using it as a springboard to launch himself forward with tremendous force. The sword disappeared the moment he jumped.

But in the next instant, Abel pulled out an identical black sword from a mysterious spatial dimension.

With a mighty swing, he shattered the shockwave before him and closed the gap between himself and Piccolo, piercing his chest with the sword.

"Damn it! What is this sword?!"

Piccolo's face darkened. The sword was incredibly troublesome, capable of cutting through his shockwaves with ease.

"Haaa!"

However, Piccolo wasn't one to go down without a fight. Using a hand chop, he severed Abel's arms, forcing the sword to drop and disappear. He followed up with a powerful flying kick, sending Abel crashing to the ground.

"Hahaha! So strong! So strong!"

Abel stood up, laughing maniacally despite the blood pouring from his severed arms. His battle frenzy only seemed to grow.

By this time, Krillin and the others had moved Goku to a safer location.

"My god, this Abel guy is terrifying! He's actually pushing Piccolo this far!"

Krillin couldn't believe his eyes. On Earth, aside from Goku, Piccolo was the strongest. Abel's power left Krillin with a new sense of dread.

"Incredible. So this is what a demigod is like. I wonder how much of his power has been sealed away," Goku remarked, observing Abel closely.

Having paid attention to the screen's information, Goku understood that the power Abel was currently displaying was likely just the tip of the iceberg.

But instead of fear, Goku felt excitement—a strong desire to fight such a formidable opponent. If only he weren't exhausted and without a Senzu Bean to recover, he'd jump into the fight himself.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Abel suddenly manifested another black sword out of thin air, this time gripping it with his teeth. Charging at Piccolo, he spun his body like a whirlwind, creating a tornado of sword energy that shredded the approaching ki blasts and propelled him forward.

"Yaaaaah!"

As Abel closed in, Piccolo let out a roar, spreading his arms wide. The next moment, his entire body erupted with explosive energy, like a volcanic eruption, sending Abel flying.

Abel was hurled thousands of meters away, smashing through several small mountains before crashing to the ground.

"So painful... The power in this universe is truly strange," Abel muttered, wobbling as he stood up, his body seemingly falling apart.

Yet, his battle spirit remained undiminished. The stronger his opponent, the more excited he became. Abel felt that by continuing to fight, he could understand and even master this newfound power.

"Special Beam Cannon!"

Piccolo's voice rang out, and when Abel looked up, a beam of energy resembling a glowing spear shot toward him.

Before Abel could react, the beam pierced through his head, and his body collapsed to the ground.

"Haha! Finally got him," Piccolo said, panting as he hovered in mid-air, staring at Abel's lifeless body.

"Yes! That SCP is finally defeated!" Yamcha cheered excitedly.

"No, it's not over," Goku said, shaking his head.

"What do you mean? How can we deal with an enemy that can't die and keeps resurrecting?" Tien asked, his expression grim.

"I don't know," Goku admitted, looking toward Piccolo for answers. "But I trust Piccolo will figure something out."

Piccolo observed Abel's body turning to ash and scattered in the wind before scanning his surroundings.

"That coffin... We need to find the coffin that's keeping him alive!"

With that realization, Piccolo immediately took off, searching for the mysterious object that enabled Abel's resurrection.

"Fly toward your left. You'll find it ahead," a voice echoed in Piccolo's mind—it was Kami speaking.

"Hmph. You actually reached out to me? That's rare," Piccolo replied with a sneer.

"This is for Earth. Abel is incredibly dangerous," Kami responded.

"Don't think I'll thank you," Piccolo retorted, adjusting his trajectory and speeding up.

Krillin and the others quickly followed with Goku in tow.

Comments from Other Universes

Odin: "Abel's strength is far beyond what was described on the screen. His power is unsettling."

Ancient One: "It could be a time discrepancy, or perhaps the standards of the SCP's humans are simply incomparable to ours."

Kizaru: "Suddenly, I feel fortunate that this guy didn't appear in our universe. We wouldn't stand a chance."

Whitebeard: "Indeed. That sword of his seems capable of breaking through any attack."

Elsid: "I'd love to see how that sword fares against my holy sword."

Diana (Wonder Woman): "I'm intrigued as well."

Bruce Wayne: "Speaking of which, what about Cain?"

Tony Stark: "We're searching every bar we can find. Who knows where he's hiding?"

Meanwhile, Cain wandered aimlessly through a bar, unsure of what to do. His striking looks and unique attire naturally drew attention, especially from women.

Many approached him, inviting him for drinks or dances, but Cain politely declined each time.

Eventually, he found himself at the bar, sitting alone and looking lost.

"Is this your first time here?" a voice asked from beside him.

"Yeah, I don't even know why I'm here," Cain admitted, scratching his head.

"Don't know, huh? Same as me. Why am I here? How did I end up like this? I don't even know anymore..."

The man beside him seemed drunk, tears streaming down his face as he spoke.

"What's your name? I'm Cain," Cain asked, concerned about the man's state.

"Bruce... Bruce Banner."
