Boom!
Rumble!
The deafening explosions echoed across the sky as unimaginable shockwaves radiated outward. Two warriors, each wielding power exceeding 3 Million, clashed with such force that an ordinary planet would have been reduced to dust.
Yet, Earth remained intact— not by mere chance.
Deep within its core, a mysterious force stirred.
At its center, a peculiar pink egg pulsed, sending out invisible ripples that enveloped the planet, shielding it from annihilation.
But while Earth itself was spared, the impact of their battle was undeniable.
The planet trembled under their might and hurricanes raged with terrifying intensity. Tsunamis soared tens of thousands of meters high, devouring coastlines.
It was as if the world itself teetered on the brink of destruction.
"Is this the true extent of Aspara's power?"
From the Lookout, Kami, Celipa, and the others watched in stunned silence, their faces pale.
They had always known Jiang Chen was strong, but this was beyond anything they had imagined.
Each collision sent tremors through their very souls.
It was overwhelming. Terrifying. Unfathomable.
"Can Aspara win?" Celipa's voice was laced with unease.
"I don't know," Toma admitted while forcing out a bitter smile. A battle of this scale was far beyond their comprehension, let alone their ability to interfere.
Even at their strongest, even as Great Apes, they would be annihilated in an instant.
They could only watch.
As they spoke, a streak of light tore through the sky and a figure landed abruptly, catching everyone's attention.
Raditz. And with him—
The Turtle Hermit.
Kame Sennin scanned his surroundings, his expression unreadable, until his gaze settled on Piccolo.
His pupils shrank.
"It's you… King Piccolo!" His voice trembled, and he instinctively stepped back.
"He's not King Piccolo. That one over there is," Raditz corrected, nodding toward the battlefield.
"Not him?" Kame Sennin frowned before looking toward the distant battle.
His breath caught in his throat. The sheer size. The monstrous aura. The overwhelming power. It was far beyond the demon he had fought in his youth.
This was something else entirely.
Even separated by this vast distance, he could feel it— his body breaking into a cold sweat.
Jiang Chen, still locked in battle, sensed their arrival.
"ROAR!"
A deafening bellow filled the sky, followed by an earth-shattering energy blast.
"You're just a wild beast! Can't even land a hit now?"
Slug sneered. Though he had the upper hand, he was not unscathed. His body bore wounds, and his breath was uneven. But seeing Jiang Chen's blast miss, his confidence surged.
However, his sneer quickly faded as Jiang Chen's massive form began to shrink.
The Great Ape transformation faded. Simultaneously, he dispelled his own Giant Form.
Weakness washed over him instantly.
But he did not hesitate— he reached into his armor, retrieved a Senzu Bean, and swallowed it.
His shattered body mended at once, yet his energy remained unsteady.
Still, it wasn't as dire as he had feared.
Perhaps because he hadn't maintained the transformations for long, or perhaps because it was less taxing than Kaiōken, his aura remained somewhat intact.
Discomfort lingered, but the Senzu Bean rapidly restored him.
"Hah! You fool— you destroyed the very moon you created!" Slug hesitated for a moment before breaking into laughter.
Mockery filled his voice.
Jiang Chen had been formidable as a Great Ape. Their power levels had been dangerously close, and in his weakened state, Slug had started to worry.
Had the battle continued, the warriors he had absorbed might have rebelled.
But to his delight, Jiang Chen had made a crucial mistake— obliterating his own artificial moon.
Without it, he couldn't transform again.
Slug's laughter echoed across the battlefield but Jiang Chen remained unfazed.
He pressed two fingers to his forehead.
And vanished.
In an instant, he reappeared at the Lookout.
"Aspara, what—?" Raditz gaped at him, unable to process what had just happened.
The others were equally stunned.
No one had expected him to abandon the fight.
Tension filled the air.
"Muten-Rōshi," Jiang Chen addressed the Turtle Hermit directly, his tone serious. "I'm going to separate King Piccolo. Can you seal him?"
Kame Sennin's eyes widened— but only for a moment.
Then he nodded.
"Understood."
There was no time to hesitate.
The very moment Kame Sennin agreed, the air was torn apart by an immense, oppressive energy.
Slug had arrived.
His own transformation had diminished, but his aura still held devastating power.
"Hmph!"
"You think you can escape? It's too late for that!"
His voice dripped with fury. His piercing gaze locked onto them.
"You provoked me— now you'll all die together!"
"Escape?"
Jiang Chen smirked. "I don't think so."
He turned slightly. "Muten-Rōshi, be ready."
Slug sneered. "What tricks do you think you have left?"
"You're nothing but a wild monkey. I am a Super Namekian, the Great King of Destruction!"
As Jiang Chen vanished once more, Slug's instincts flared. He immediately lashed out with a powerful punch—
And connected.
"Boom!"
The impact sent Jiang Chen hurtling through the air, blood spilling from his mouth as pain exploded through his body.
His organs felt like they were about to rupture. But even as he reeled from the blow, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The battle was far from over.
One strike, just one strike.
Even without his Huge transformation, Slug's power was far beyond Jiang Chen's ability to withstand.
His body was sent flying over ten thousand meters before he managed to stop. Without hesitation, Jiang Chen bit into the Senzu Bean he had placed in his mouth when he teleported to the Lookout.
As he swallowed the Senzu Bean, his injuries healed rapidly, and his power surged further.
Originally at 150,000 Battle Power, after swallowing the Senzu Bean earlier, his Battle Power had risen to 200,000. Now, after being severely injured and consuming another Senzu Bean, his Battle Power skyrocketed again, instantly breaking through to 300,000.
An even more powerful aura erupted from his body.
"Whoosh!"
His figure vanished in an instant.
In the next moment, he reappeared beside Slug.
"You're really a persistent monkey!"
"If you want to die, then die!"
Feeling the familiar aura suddenly reappear, Slug's expression showed a hint of annoyance.
"Boom!"
He punched with his right hand, and at the moment of impact, a powerful energy surge gathered in his hand, directly targeting Jiang Chen.
But just as the energy wave began to envelop Jiang Chen, Slug's aura began to tremble violently.
The energy wave he had gathered instantly dissipated.
"What's going on?" Slug's expression was filled with confusion.
Before he could react, in the next moment, "Boom!"
Jiang Chen's fist landed solidly on his body.
Then, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As Slug's aura trembled, Jiang Chen continued to unleash a flurry of strikes.
With each punch, Slug's aura shook even more violently.
"Damn it!"
"How dare you devour me!"
"I am the great King Piccolo!"
An ancient, furious voice emanated from Slug as countless dark energies surged forth, and a phantom began to separate from him.
Slug's aura flickered and wavered.
"Damn it, you wild monkey! What have you done to me?" Slug's voice was filled with rage.
His aura expanded as he desperately tried to maintain his assimilation with King Piccolo.
His current state was precarious; the only reason he could hold on was because of King Piccolo.
If King Piccolo were to be separated, he would immediately fall into a near-death state.
However, the Spirit Separation Technique was no joke.
Even beings that had been devoured could be separated.
The Namekian assimilation could naturally be undone as well.
