Don't engage in beam struggles with the Son family was an iron rule, but there were always those conceited beings who wanted to challenge this iron rule.
Cell was one of them.
There was energy in his hands, and if the power of expansion was fully released, it was enough to destroy the entire solar system, but it was compressed at one point and had not exploded yet. Countless lightning bolts surrounded him, as well as the faint blue energy cluster, and the vigorous ki was full of power, which was extremely devastating for the moment.
Son Gohan was taken aback, his expression suddenly changing.
At this moment, Raditz's telepathic message entered Son Gohan's mind: "Gohan, don't panic—fight him. Now that you're not on Earth, don't worry about the consequences of excessive power release. There are people behind you that you need to protect. Strike down Cell like a true warrior."
"I will try my best..."
"It's not about trying! It's about doing your absolute best! Cell is giving his all now! You still seem to be relying on my strength, but I can tell you that if you fail, I won't intervene. This world needs you to protect it with your own hands—don't always place your hopes on others! Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"Go, Gohan! Believe in yourself—the power of your anger surpasses everything, maybe even stronger than me!" Raditz continued to encourage Gohan.
He wanted to pull Gohan back from the path of a scholar. In the world of Dragon Ball, there was no need for an extra scholar Gohan, but a powerful warrior Son Gohan was needed.
Inspired, Son Gohan's eyes were stern with anger, the brilliance around him flying violently, and lightning dancing. He showed an unstoppable aura, a majesty that surpassed all living beings!
This was the Son Gohan in Raditz's memory—the most magnificent Gohan at that moment!
"Ka... me... ha..."
Gohan shouted silently, gathering energy, and Cell symmetrically compressed the terrifying Kamehameha. The turbulent flow of energy penetrated the void, disrupting the peaceful universe. Many small space floating objects were crushed, and the observation space stations and satellites arranged by the Galactic Justice League were also burned to ashes.
Such an attack would be a devastating scene no matter where it hit, and Raditz couldn't help but secretly marvel.
"ME... HAAAA!"
Although he couldn't hear the sound, Raditz saw that both Cell and Son Gohan opened their mouths, and all the strength of their bodies surged out. Their energy was invested in the Kamehameha and shot out, and the mighty brilliance lit up the universe.
This light even spread to Earth, causing the warriors to look up at the sky with horrified expressions.
"What kind of power is this? It can be felt even on Earth."
"It's too scary—the ki on both sides can't be measured."
"Super Saiyan 2 is on another level... Goku, who do you think will win?"
"It's hard to say. Gohan's power is similar to Cell's. Now they're in a deadlock, and it depends on who can persevere to the end." Goku looked up at the sky and said with a frown.
Earth trembled slightly due to the impact of the energy collision, and human beings began to panic. The moment the screen had cut off connection just now, what they saw was a young man standing opposite Cell. And then? The end of the world had not yet been announced, but the earthquake and the strange phenomenon in the atmosphere were one step ahead...
The King sat in his chair in silence, and at this point there was nothing he could do but pray silently.
In Kame House, Bulma, Launch, Ariel and Master Roshi could still see the picture thousands of miles away with the help of Chiaotzu's psychic powers, but after Son Gohan and Cell fought in space, Chiaotzu couldn't track them.
"Master Roshi, do you think Gohan can win?"
"Well... I think so. Even if Gohan can't win, Raditz is still there, and he won't let Cell succeed." The light of wisdom flashed behind Master Roshi's sunglasses. "Of course, until now, all we can do is pray."
Launch and Ariel looked at Tien and Nappa on the rocks and couldn't help feeling a little worried, while Bulma embraced baby Trunks, with a bit of sourness in her brow, and secretly scolded Vegeta for his recklessness.
They were all strong women, but at this moment they revealed the vulnerability in women's hearts.
In space...
Son Gohan continued to roar, and the dark blue Kamehameha continuously delivered energy, fighting recklessly with Cell, who was also shouting violently. At this point, neither could retreat, and they would be defeated as soon as they made a slight mistake.
"Gohan, try harder—you haven't exhausted your strength yet!" Raditz continued the telepathic transmission.
Gohan had great potential, and with his will, he could be even stronger!
"I've reached my limit—Cell is too strong..."
"Then why don't you give up?"
"Because behind me is Earth."
"That's right. Do you remember the feeling when you first transformed? Think about your parents, and Uncle Piccolo."
Son Gohan trembled and slightly lowered his head. At this moment, Cell took the advantage, and his energy overwhelmed Son Gohan. Cell showed a look of triumph and made the final sprint with more vigor.
But in the next second, Son Gohan suddenly raised his head with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, overflowing with power. The terrifying energy that made people shudder exploded through space, and the Kamehameha swept across the universe!
Just as Cell's Kamehameha had advanced a little, he was overwhelmed by stronger energy, and the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to react! The light engulfed him!
"No! No! No!" Cell screamed, his body twisting, being swallowed and disintegrated by the light bit by bit. When he was about to die, he never expected that he would be defeated by Son Gohan. The faint blue light spots were scattered all over the starry sky, extremely brilliant.
The Kamehameha traveled through the universe like a sharp arrow, pierced through interstellar space, and formed a crystal clear river.
"It's over. Well done." Raditz stepped forward and supported Son Gohan who had returned to normal. The blow had drained all of Gohan's energy, and he was very weak at the moment.
But after defeating Super Perfect Cell, Gohan had a big smile on his face.
Raditz was also happy for Gohan—he had succeeded and grown.
"Let's go back..." Raditz's smile froze instantly, and his face changed suddenly.
At the end of the energy blasted by Son Gohan, an endless and evil demonic aura was forming, as if the door of the demon realm was opened, and dark light was running rampant! There was still the remaining essence of Super Perfect Cell...
People from the demon realm?!
Raditz looked vigilantly, but saw a black vortex absorbing everything around it like a black hole, and even Cell's afterimage swayed inside. A black and purple figure flickered, and a faint gloomy mist lingered.
Countless tentacles stretched out and entangled Son Gohan. At this moment, the weakened Gohan had no strength to resist. Raditz immediately rushed forward and cut off the tentacles with his energy. Immediately, those tentacles attacked Raditz unexpectedly—they seemed to be able to travel through space, and entangled Raditz with strong demonic energy.
"Go back!" Raditz didn't say anything else, first gave Son Gohan a ki blast, pushing him toward Earth. And he was deeply trapped in the black hole-like energy vortex, and saw the dark figure of Cell.
The energy of the demon realm surrounded it, and dark lightning struck...
