Mira recoiled in shock at the terrifying power radiating from Raditz's transformed state. Unlike his own emotionally-driven energy surges, Raditz had actually transcended to an entirely different level of strength—even his physical appearance had undergone dramatic metamorphosis!
His lustrous hair had grown so dramatically it nearly enveloped his entire frame, while his golden tail had thickened considerably and electric energy danced around him like living dragons. Raditz's aura felt completely different from moments before—transformed from calm restraint to violent, overwhelming arrogance.
Mira stumbled backward in genuine panic, shouting desperately, "You... what's happened to you? You're not the same Raditz!"
It wasn't really a question—he simply refused to accept what his sensors were telling him!
"I am Raditz—Raditz of Super Saiyan 3!"
The flowing golden hair and complete absence of eyebrows proved beyond doubt that his breakthrough had succeeded magnificently. Surrounded by crackling lightning, his aura felt as vast as a hovering galaxy, radiating an almost sacred presence.
"I don't care what Super Saiyan 3 means—I'll destroy you anyway!"
Mira swung both arms frantically, unleashing energy columns to bombard Raditz with unprecedented speed and force. BOOM! BOOM! Bang bang bang bang! One devastating blast after another struck his target, releasing such overwhelming malevolent aura it flowed like a majestic waterfall rushing downward, filling the entire dimension with terrifying, cold evil.
The raging storm made space itself tremble on the verge of complete collapse. Now they understood why alternate dimensions couldn't contain such power—this level of force could directly annihilate dimensional barriers entirely.
Layers of oppressive darkness pressed downward as wildly rioting energy caused endless explosive detonations throughout the combat zone.
"Is... is that really Mr. Raditz?" Supreme Kai's pupils contracted as his entire body trembled with primal fear.
"How powerful can a Saiyan possibly become..." Chronoa's heart pounded like a galloping stallion, nearly bursting from her chest. "My dimensional space can barely maintain cohesion now!"
Mira's terrifying assault challenged the tolerance limits of her alternate reality and nearly succeeded in shattering it completely. Raditz's new form fought against the overwhelming darkness, but even the time patrol couldn't determine the outcome of such cosmic-level confrontation.
Even Towa's face had turned deathly pale, her previous smug composure and sense of total control completely evaporated. Her keen supernatural intuition warned that they might actually lose this battle decisively.
"Raditz..." She clenched her fists until her knuckles went white, her beautiful features twisting with desperate fury. "Mira, kill him immediately!"
Mira understood he had to unleash everything to eliminate Raditz. His enhanced arms worked frantically, but every energy column he released generated a counter-shock force that reverberated through his synthetic frame! Within the suffocating darkness surrounding them, Raditz's aura showed absolutely no signs of weakening.
With the same casual "Begone!" command, countless deadly projectiles in front of Raditz instantly shattered into sparkling fragments before dissolving into complete nothingness, vanishing alongside the overwhelming dark presence in billowing shockwaves.
Raditz approached Mira with deliberate, heavy steps—each footfall accompanied by crackling lightning and golden flames. Nothing could impede his inexorable advance as attacks shattered harmlessly, space itself fractured, and even the air split apart before his overwhelming presence!
"You... you..." Mira stopped his assault, suddenly feeling bone-deep cold strike his artificial heart.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
A voice like a resonant bell suddenly rang directly in Mira's audio sensors. He startled with genuine terror, only then realizing that Raditz had completely vanished from his previous position. The chilling sensation intensified, making him tremble uncontrollably.
Raditz didn't allow any opportunity for reaction, sweeping his fist into Mira's abdomen with devastating force. The blow seemed to penetrate completely through the android's torso before exploding outward with tremendous power.
"Gugh!" Mira doubled over and vomited blood, his optical sensors blazing crimson as agony spread throughout his enhanced body. In that moment, he felt utterly unable to summon any strength. Worse than the physical trauma was the psychological devastation—he had believed himself superior to Raditz and held the tactical advantage, but in an instant he was nearly defeated again.
His burning abdomen felt completely penetrated, synthetic blood running hot through his damaged systems.
Raditz refused to grant any recovery time, immediately grabbing Mira's head and driving his knee upward with crushing force.
BOOM! The impact struck Mira's skull as if shattering it from within! Immediately afterward, Raditz raised his leg again and kicked the artificial warrior away. Mira's supposedly indestructible body deformed under the tremendous force as another involuntary spray of blood erupted from his damaged systems.
His audio sensors filled with howling wind and the crisp sounds of his own body being pulverized—flesh striking flesh, but only one combatant was receiving punishment.
Suspended in mid-air, Raditz pummeled Mira continuously like a training dummy. Energy doubles combined with instantaneous ki blasts suppressed the android so completely he had no room to resist and was rapidly losing all fighting spirit.
"Super... Saiyan 3... Super Saiyan 3..." Mira muttered deliriously as the beating continued. Though his body recovered quickly thanks to various incorporated DNA, he finally understood he was no longer Raditz's equal in any capacity.
Faced with complete power suppression, Mira realized Raditz had become impossibly strong.
Is it really true that longer hair equals greater strength? Looking at Raditz's flowing mane, Mira's thoughts began wandering desperately.
"The power of Super Saiyan 3 is indeed tremendous, but the energy consumption is equally terrible... Whew..." Raditz maintained the transformation for only a brief period, yet already felt his stamina rapidly depleting as an inadvertent bead of sweat formed on his forehead. He steadied his breathing, trying to conceal his limitation from the enemy.
At this moment, his Super Saiyan 3 transformation exceeded even the Mystic state in raw power output, but the massive energy drain prevented sustained combat. In terms of overall performance, the Mystic state remained superior. However, this level of violence was necessary to handle Mira—he wanted to use this overwhelming force to eliminate the android within his limited timeframe!
"Hurry, Raditz! My dimensional space is collapsing!" Chronoa's voice reached his mind with urgent desperation.
Sure enough, the alternate dimension had been pushed far beyond its structural limits during their constant battles. As time progressed, the Supreme Kai of Time's reality completely disintegrated, returning Towa and the others to normal cosmic space.
Towa waved her ornate staff frantically, seizing the opportunity to raise a black escape vortex while pouring all her remaining power into extracting Mira from the battlefield. All her elaborate plans for mutual destruction had dissolved into meaningless rhetoric when faced with absolute power—simply surviving would be victory enough now.
Mira hesitated in stunned confusion. His proud warrior's heart made retreat feel unbearable, yet he rationally understood he was completely outmatched by Raditz's transformation.
Escape! Mira finally made his decision, choosing survival over futile pride.
But Raditz wouldn't permit their success. His psychic power had grown unprecedentedly strong, directly imprisoning both demons in place. At this moment, his miraculous Galaxy Destroyer technique reappeared against the vast universal backdrop, overwhelming both Towa and Mira with cosmic devastation!
The galaxy-sized energy spread outward in stellar brilliance, making their dark power appear as insignificant as scattered sand grains.
Towa's pupils constricted with terror as her face turned deathly pale, her entire form trembling violently. She ground her teeth until they nearly cracked, desperately attempting to break through Raditz's psychic restraints. In this critical moment, she made the ruthless decision to abandon Mira entirely—even sacrificing her greatest creation if it meant her own survival.
