The Kamehameha that swallowed Cell pierced the atmosphere and flew into outer space.
The brilliant light shone in the sky for a long time before slowly dissipating.
"Did we defeat Cell?" Krillin pinched his face, and a burning sting came from his face, and he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.
Is it too simple?
In the distance, Nappa looked at Gohan below, a look of excitement on his face.
A Super Saiyan beyond Super Saiyan.
"Such a power is truly terrifying." Life on Earth, the events of this year, were even more exciting than traveling the universe with Vegeta for decades.
"I wonder when I will be able to become a Super Saiyan." Nappa subconsciously touched his smooth bald head, "Hehe, I don't have hair now."
Nappa had also bought a lot of hair tonics on Earth and used them on his head.
But it was useless; his head was as smooth as ever.
Unlike that fake bald Krillin, he was truly bald.
Yes, just like Tien Shinhan.
When the battle ended, everyone ate the Senzu Beans they brought to recover their stamina. After all, fighting the Cell Juniors, except for Vegeta, Piccolo, and Goku, everyone else was basically powerless to fight back.
The only one completely unharmed was Android 16.
The Cell Juniors only entangled him and did not cause him harm, as if they were wary of something.
Gohan's hair also changed from golden to its normal state.
After eating a Senzu Bean, his depleted ki also recovered.
"Gohan, you did very well." Goku patted Gohan's shoulder.
"Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan moved past Goku and looked at Piccolo. The Gohan who had returned to his normal state was not as sharp as before, giving off the appearance of a good child.
"Your Uncle Piccolo, I apologize to you. It was my and Goku's plan before, just to allow you to break through the limits of a Super Saiyan." Compared to Goku, who didn't know how to comfort people, Piccolo was very concerned about Gohan's emotions and immediately apologized.
"No, it's fine. You were also doing it for my own good." Gohan shook his head.
It was all Cell's fault.
Gohan wasn't very angry, or rather, seeing Piccolo's desperate acting, he felt very distressed.
"Uncle Piccolo, are your injuries serious?" Gohan's voice was filled with concern.
"Don't worry, I've eaten a Senzu Bean. Mere Cell, if it weren't for executing the plan, he wouldn't have been able to defeat me so easily."
"Hehe, is that so..."
"Pfft—"
Piccolo's chest was pierced.
An arm penetrated through to his chest.
The arm that pierced through was holding Piccolo's blood-stained heart in its palm.
This tightly gripped heart was still "thumping" rhythmically.
Blood gushed from Piccolo's chest, splattering onto Gohan's face.
"Uncle Piccolo."
Gohan was still in shock.
"Get out of the way!"
Being attacked first, Piccolo also reacted.
The Namekian's powerful vitality allowed him to shout out a warning to everyone.
After a moment of shock, everyone quickly distanced themselves from Piccolo.
That arm pulled out of Piccolo's chest, and a ki blast was immediately thrown down.
With a "boom," Piccolo's body exploded.
"Cell..."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Gohan hadn't even recovered from Piccolo's death.
Cell rushed towards the still untransformed Gohan at extreme speed, intending to kill him with one blow.
However, Gohan's body was knocked away by Android 16.
Standing in front of Cell was Android 16. Cell only had time to land a hard punch on Gohan's shoulder before being stopped by Android 16.
"Get lost."
Seeing Android 16, Cell, who wanted to kill him, subconsciously held back some power and casually threw the troublesome Android 16 away.
"Annoying guy." Cell was furious.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Android 21 in his mind, Android 16 would have already turned to ash.
Spitting at Android 16, Cell targeted the others again.
He no longer pursued Gohan but aimed for Vegeta and Goku.
Cell's speed was even faster than before.
Goku and Vegeta couldn't keep up at all.
Almost unnoticed by everyone, Cell appeared behind Vegeta in a flash.
A ki blast condensed in his hand, intending to kill Vegeta with one blow.
"Dad!"
At the critical moment, Trunks pushed Vegeta away.
A huge explosion erupted on Trunks's body.
"Trunks!"
"Hmph, you are the second Trunks to die by my hand." Cell didn't care and prepared to continue attacking Vegeta.
"Cell, look here!"
Cell subconsciously turned his head.
He saw a bald man with his hands placed on his forehead.
Cell was instantly terrified.
"Damn it!"
A blinding light pierced into Cell's eyes.
"Ahhh!"
Krillin's Solar Flare bought everyone time to escape.
However, Cell was not Frieza after all. He could sense ki, and he also had Piccolo's cells, making it much harder for a Destructo Disc to kill him.
Instead, because of Krillin's Solar Flare, Cell was completely enraged, and a ki blast directly exploded towards Krillin.
With a "boom."
Krillin died.
"Damn it, these annoying guys."
If it weren't for these people getting in the way, his plan just now would have been flawless.
Cell's current goal was to kill Vegeta and Goku, because these two were the closest to Super Saiyan 2.
As for Gohan, from his observations just now, this group of people no longer had Senzu Beans.
In other words, Gohan, with one arm injured, was no match for him at all.
Even though his vision hadn't fully recovered, Cell was still using ki to search for Vegeta's whereabouts, but he found Goku closer, so he decided to deal with Goku first.
However, before he could act, he was stopped by the golden-haired youth.
As his vision gradually recovered, he saw the youth's appearance.
"Gohan!"
"Cell, you are unforgivable!"
Even with one arm injured, Gohan still contended with Cell using his Super Saiyan 2 aura.
"A man must be ruthless. This is a battlefield. Goku's actions are those of a fool."
Cell's words made Gohan's gaze even colder:
"Cell, this time I will absolutely not give you a chance to revive!"
"Hahahaha, do you think you can still do it?"
With Gohan as an obstacle, to deal with Goku and Vegeta, he could only resolve Gohan as quickly as possible.
Cell no longer hid his strength, surpassing Dr. Gero's computer's measured limits.
Super Perfect Cell appeared before everyone's eyes.
A terrifying aura, like a storm, continuously expanded outwards.
This aura even faintly suppressed Gohan.
"Gohan, I should thank you. If it weren't for your Kamehameha earlier, it would probably take me a long time to reach my current state."
"So, this time I will use my full power to make you completely perish!"
As he spoke, Cell and Gohan engaged in battle again.
The energy of two Super Saiyan 2 level poured from high in the sky to the earth.
Thunderous roars constantly echoed from the ground and the sky.
