Chapter 98 Growing under Pressure! (Part 4)

"Heh heh heh... Facing my final form, you still haven't lost your fighting spirit. As expected of the so-called fighting race, you Saiyans are really commendable! As a reward, I will let you experience the true horrors of hell. Don't you dare die too easily, Saiyan." At this moment, Cooler's vicious nature was fully exposed.

He intended to completely crush Talot, both physically and mentally—leaving him in a state where he is neither able to live nor able to die!

Until Talot's mind collapsed, begging to be killed!

"Enough talk! Take this!!"

Talot raised his hand and fired a spiraling energy beam straight at Cooler.

Facing Talot's attack, Cooler was no longer as careless as before. With a swipe of his palm, he shattered the incoming energy beam.

Immediately after, Cooler shot forward, causing a series of sonic booms.

Feeling the terrifying pressure rushing toward him, Talot's body tensed as he prepared to meet him.

Cooler's punch contained overwhelming destructive power as it was swung forward.

Talot refused to back down, unleashing a powerful strike infused with the power of the Great Ape and full strength of the crimson aura.

'Boom!!!!' The explosive sound of their fists colliding shook the battlefield.

In an instant, space trembled, the ground caved in, and violent shockwaves swept outward.

Cooler, in his final form, unleashed an unstoppable force.

Even with the power of the Great Ape and the boost of 15x Kaio-ken, Talot was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

On the other hand, Cooler stood in place as if nothing had happened, completely unaffected.

Forcing himself to endure the searing pain in his fist, Talot forcibly stabilized his stance.

Gritting his teeth, he braced himself for Cooler's next attack.

Cooler launched another assault—he had no intention of letting Talot off so easily. Erupting out with rapid speed, his powerful body vanished from Talot's sight.

"Die!!" An unstoppable kick came hurtling straight toward Talot.

At the last moment, Talot relied on his ability to forsee the future, catching a brief vision of what was coming, and quickly crossed his arms in front of him to defend.

'Boom!!!!' The unparalleled force instantly shattered the ground. Talot's body nearly flipped over as his defense was completely broken.

Even after using all his strength to block, he was still sent flying several kilometers.

[What overwhelming pressure... What terrifying power... My whole body feels completely wrecked.]

Talot felt a numbing sensation on his scalp as his entire body screamed in pain, as if it had been torn apart.

Cooler's relentless assault left him completely helpless.

And yet, despite the unbearable pain, this was exactly what he wanted.

As a Saiyan, pain could not break him.

Instead, it became the driving force for him to grow stronger.

Under the stimulation of pain, the power of the Great Ape erupted out even more intensely as a surge of warmth flowed out from deep within his body.

"Hahahahaha!!! Do you now understand what true despair is, wild monkey?!!"

Amidst a chilling burst of laughter, Cooler charged at Talot once again.

A relentless barrage of punches and kicks rained down on Talot like a violent storm.

Cooler fully displayed his overwhelming power.

His attacks were eerie, sharp, and precise, each one aimed directly at Talot's vital points.

Every strike carried the force to split mountains, shatter the ground, and destroy stars.

'Bang!! Boom!! Bang!! Boom!! Bang!! Boom!! …'

One after another, the sounds of fists and feet brutally striking flesh rang out.

Talot did everything he could to defend himself.

But every single one of Cooler's attacks sent his body flying…..

Even though he fought desperately to block them, his body still suffered irreversible, massive injuries.

He was being beaten up completely one-sidedly!

"What's wrong? Is this all the so-called fighting race of Saiyans can do?"

"Where has your previous arrogance gone?"

"Facing my absolute powers, you can't even fight back?"

"Heh heh heh heh heh…"

Cooler thoroughly enjoyed tormenting Talot. He perfectly controlled the strength of each strike, ensuring that Talot would not die too quickly.

He wanted to shatter Talot's unyielding will.

Time continued to pass, and Talot gritted his teeth, holding on.

And in the midst of this ordeal, the Saiyan blood within him was boiling.

It was a strange sensation. As if a mysterious power inside him was surging out endlessly.

Under the immense pressure Cooler brought, he was growing. His power level was skyrocketing.

Growing stronger under pressure, Talot broke past his limits again and again; his strength rising at an astonishing rate.

Even the genetic shackles within him seemed to be loosening.

A Saiyan's nature—getting stronger when facing powerful opponents!

Talot was reveling in the thrill of his growing strength. Meanwhile, Cooler was indulging in the pleasure of torturing Talot.

In his eyes, Talot was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter. He had no chance of escape.

"Heh heh heh heh… Do you feel despair now?"

"Wild monkey, this is the gap between you and me."

"Even if your power level has reached 100 million, I can still toy with you in the palm of my hand!!" As he attacked, Cooler continued to mock Talot's weakness and incompetence.

He aimed to completely break Talot's mental defenses.

But to Talot, such taunts were meaningless. They had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Your attacks are strong, but I'm slowly getting used to them. Is this all you've got?"

Using a questioning tone, Talot provoked Cooler, demanding that he unleash even greater power.

Fully immersed in battle, Talot grew more and more excited.

The tide of battle was shifting. At first, Cooler was completely beating him up one-sidedly, but now, Talot was gradually keeping up with his attacks.

At this rate, his power level would continue to rise.

When Cooler finally let his guard down, Talot would strike with a merciless, fatal blow.

Provoked by Talot's taunts, Cooler flew into a rage and decided to hit him with a ruthless attack.

"You think I'm only capable of this much?!"

"Then let's see if you can withstand what comes next." As soon as he finished speaking, Cooler vanished instantly. By the time he reappeared, he was already behind Talot.

At that moment, a chill ran down Talot's spine.

Just as he prepared to turn and defend, Cooler's powerful kick sent him soaring into the sky.

The terrifying impact surged through his entire body, causing his blood and energy to churn violently.

A mouthful of blood was about to burst out, but at the last moment, he forcibly swallowed it back down.

Even with a body honed from childhood under extreme gravity training, he was nearly crippled by Cooler's kick.

His body was completely out of control, rocketing straight into the clouds.

On the ground, Cooler's bloodthirsty eyes locked onto him.

Raising his hand, he fired a Death Beam straight at Talot.

This Death Beam wouldn't completely erase Talot's body, but it would leave him half-dead.

At this critical moment, Talot exploded with power.

"20x Kaio-ken!!!"

After forcing himself into 20x Kaio-ken, Talot regained control of his body. With a narrow escape, he dodged Cooler's Death Beam and immediately launched a counterattack.

"What?!"

Seeing that Talot still had strength left, a look of shock flashed through Cooler's eyes.

Something was off about this wild monkey. Just how much power was he still hiding?

"Spiraling Bombs!"

Talot charged energy in one hand and swung forcefully, launching an energy bomb toward Cooler.

In an instant, the single bomb split into dozens, surrounding Cooler.

"A futile struggle. I'm curious to see just where your limits lie!"

Completely unfazed, Cooler unleashed a barrage of Death Beams, detonating all of the Spiraling Energy Balls.

'BOOOOOM~~~~!!!!'

A wall of flames erupted midair, blocking Cooler's line of sight.
