"Cough, cough…"
Cell staggered and struggled to his feet, the righteous expression on his face twisting into an extremely hideous grimace.
"Damn it, Gohan, don't get too arrogant!"
"Destructo Disc."
Cell condensed two golden discs in his hands and fiercely threw them towards Gohan's position.
Seeing the two giant Destructo Discs flying rapidly with a whooshing sound, Gohan slowly placed his arms in front of him.
Clang!
Clang!
The Destructo Discs flew in front of Gohan, only to be completely blocked by the ki emanating from his arms, unable to advance an inch.
Immediately after, a chaotic aura suddenly erupted.
Even the seemingly indestructible Destructo Discs, under the impact of this terrifying ki, instantly turned into shattered energy, scattering downwards.
"Cell, is this all you've got?"
"Too weak."
"You, you…" Cell stumbled back a few steps, his face turning purple and then green with rage.
"Good, good. Besides Android 21, you are the second person to dare call me weak."
"Since that's the case, then let me show you my absolutely overwhelming power!"
Cell spread his legs, assumed a horse stance, and then—
"Aaaaaaah~"
His body, arms, and limbs rapidly swelled, his muscles explosively expanding.
He looked incredibly muscular and powerful, but subtly, there was also a sense of being somewhat bloated.
"Gohan, quickly kill Cell, don't play around anymore."
Goku recalled the first time he transformed into a Super Saiyan; that instant acquisition of power beyond anything before often made one extremely arrogant.
This kind of personality can easily lead to trouble.
Especially with someone like Cell, who combines the cells of all excellent warriors, no one knows what he might do if pushed too far.
"Dad, is this enough? Didn't you and Piccolo make me transform into Super Saiyan 2?"
"Simply killing Cell is boring. I still want to adapt to this transformed state a bit more."
"Gohan…"
Goku wanted to say something, but Gohan's gaze no longer acknowledged him.
Goku could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Is Gohan mad at us?"
Piccolo stood in the distance, arms crossed, watching the battle between Gohan and Cell.
Piccolo had also heard the conversation between the father and son.
He knew that Gohan was acting just like Goku did before.
He was getting carried away.
For example, when Goku first became a Super Saiyan, he made Frieza use all his power before forcefully suppressing him. Gohan's current actions were similar.
He seemed to be using this method to express his dissatisfaction with the two of them.
"I hope nothing major happens." Piccolo silently prayed in his heart.
The current Gohan probably wouldn't listen to anyone until all his emotions were vented.
"Saiyans are truly difficult to deal with."
The situation of the Cell Games was simultaneously transmitted to the Chat Group.
[Kumoko: "I always feel like something's going to happen next. Many TV shows play out this way."]
[Rimuru: "Uh, no way. Gohan clearly looks stronger than a Cell who has lost his composure, and not by a small margin."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "You'll know if you keep watching. Cell might give you a surprise."]
[Vegeta: "What surprise?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "…"]
Getting out of the pile of dirt he was buried in, and still not forgetting to ask in the group, Vegeta, you really are something.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Maybe Super Saiyan 2 level."]
[Vegeta: "...Perfect Cell can become Super Perfect Cell?"]
Looking at the angry, twisted, and grim-faced Cell in the distance, Vegeta couldn't imagine Cell reaching Gohan's level.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "In the predetermined future, Cell indeed reached the same level as Gohan. Don't forget, Cell was beaten by Android 21. He definitely wants to get his revenge. Knowing about Super Saiyan 2, it's impossible for him not to try."]
If Gohan hadn't broken through to Super Saiyan 2, Cell wouldn't have been so anxious.
Now that Gohan has broken through to Super Saiyan 2, Cell will not be his opponent. Being completely dominated by two people in a row is a huge blow to Cell.
He will definitely try every possible way to break through his current limits.
Whether it's to deal with Android 21 or Gohan, he will try everything.
So…
Gohan is very likely to mess up.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Vegeta, if you want to stop Cell from potentially breaking through, then find a way to completely eliminate him when he's injured. Do you understand what I mean?"]
[Vegeta: "Are you saying… Cell plans to forcibly trigger the Saiyan's passive ability?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Unlike you, it's very difficult for Cell to reach Super Saiyan 2 level. However, he also has a gap that you cannot make up for: he possesses the cells of multiple excellent warriors, including Frieza, you, Goku, Piccolo, and even other Earth warriors."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Strong vitality, strong recovery power, excellent Saiyan bloodline—these things combined, while they might forcefully lock Cell's power once it reaches a certain level due to genetic impurity."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "However, within the same tier, he will generally be stronger than you."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "For example, right now, Cell is stronger than you, not just in terms of ki, but in other aspects as well, he is superior to you."]
Beryl's words made Vegeta fall into deep thought.
If Cell really were to transform into something similar to Super Saiyan 2, it seemed that triggering the passive might not be impossible.
No, or rather, it was the only way in a short period of time.
Actually, after transforming into a Super Saiyan, the passive boost for Saiyans becomes negligible.
And it also involves enduring immense pain, which is a bit of a thankless task.
Even Vegeta and Goku were unwilling to do such a difficult and thankless thing.
What if they played too hard and killed themselves?
While Vegeta was distracted, Cell and Gohan engaged in another fierce clash.
Or rather, Cell was unilaterally being beaten senseless.
"It's over, Cell."
Gohan's ki surged again, and he assumed a stance for using a special move.
As Cell flew into the sky, facing Gohan from afar, he also made a similar motion when he saw Gohan's stance.
"Kamehameha!"
"Kamehameha!"
Two Kamehamehas, one above and one below, were released simultaneously.
Gohan's powerful ki, released as a special move, forcefully pushed back Cell's Kamehameha.
Cell's face was filled with shock and disbelief:
"No, I'm the strongest warrior, how can I die here?"
"Ahhh!"
The light of the Kamehameha engulfed Cell, and the entire sky became increasingly bright.
