Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Null Realm - Age 780
While everyone else is reacting to the imposing presence of the massive Agnilasa, the Supreme Kai of the 3rd Universe, Erye, fixes his slipped-off glasses by pushing them up with his index and middle finger and proudly comments, "Dr. Paparoni does not disappoint. His design is even better than expected."
This is followed by the robot God of Destruction of the 3rd Universe, Mosco, who beeps, which is then translated by Camparri as usual, "Mosco-sama is pleased, as well. He says our prospects look excellent."
Hearing that, Erye smiles and says, "It was our greatest survival strategy, and no team can match it. Now, unleash your wrath, Agnilasa! You are the mightiest of all warriors!"
Shortly after he said that, Agnilasa let out a loud, threatning, and fierce growl as its aura continue to flare and its immense power makes the whole Null Realm shake, a sign that it has reached a level comparable to the strongest warriors in this Tournament, which in turn makes Beerus exclaim in shock, "What is that monstrosity?"
In response, Shin notices the grimace on everyone else's faces and, with a big, silly smile on his face, tries to reassure everyone else by saying, "They just built something big to try to frighten us! But if I were scared, would I be laughing? Hehehe..." Obviously, without much result as everyone is focused on what is happening on the fighting stage.
At this point, Agnilasa grins before he lets out a massive roar that generates such a strong gale that it almost blows the nearby Goku, Vegeta, and Cell away before he gathers his flaring energy above his head and fires Ki Blasts off at every remaining warrior in the fighting stage.
In response to this indiscriminate attack, all the warriors react in their own way.
Goku, Vegeta, Cell, and a nearby Goza all dodge by jumping out of the Ki Blasts' way as they create some more distance with Agnilasa.
Jiren calmly protects the nearby Top and Dyspo, who are completely confident in their teammate, by countering with his own Ki Blast as they continue to observe the ongoing battle.
Peppars simply let one of those Ki Blast hit him with a grin on his face before he opens a portal and walks out of it with a new completely heathly body, and at exactily the same time, the black marked tip of another one of his tentacles fades away together with the other almost completely destroyed body of Peppars as his power doubles once more.
Then, immediately after powering up, Peppars opens another one of his portals and walks inside, completely hiding from the ongoing onslaught.
Broly deflects it by casually swatting the incoming Ki Blast with his hand before he decides to regroup with his teammates, Goza, Goku, Vegeta, and Cell.
Kiki uses his Crystal Wall to block and reflect the Ki Blast back toward another one heading his way, causing them to explode and counter each other.
Orphèe calmly begins to play a melody on his lyre as a multitude of Ki Blasts heads his way, and as he begins to play that melody, the strings of his instrument extend and, with a burst of Cosmo, they slice in half all the Ki Blasts, making them all safely explode away from him.
Lastly, there are Holy Angemon and Paildramon, where the former uses his technique Heaven's Gate to manifest a door to subspace that sucks in all the approaching Ki Blasts, letting them dissipate into oblivion while easily protecting Paildramon, who is simply standing nearby ready to act in case someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to attack them.
Soon after the barrage of Ki Blasts ends, Vegeta looks at the grinning Agnilasa and says, "It takes more than sheer size and power to be a warrior! Let's see how you do up again the Saiyan prince, Vegeta-sama."
Then Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan and yells, "You like it big? Then have a Big Bang Attack!" before he extends his arm, opens his palm, and turns his hand upright, and then condenses his Ki in his palm and launches a massive spherical Ki Blast that quickly flies toward Agnilasa.
However, Agnilasa easily swats the Big Bang Attack aside with his left arm, making it explode on the edge of the fighting stage, destroying a good chunk of it before it looks at Vegeta and grins.
Agnilasa then laughs and charges at the 7th Universe Team, before delivering an impressive punch that everyone dodges and lands on the ground, creating a massive crater in it while also kicking up a storm of debris making it clear that its power and speed have both greatly increased to the point that the people of the 7th Universe exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Their combined power and speed are both on a whole new level!"
"Yeah, and they're gigantic!"
"Now we know why that doctor from the 3rd Universe was so confident they could still win this battle."
Seeing that its attack missed, Agnilasa lets out a mighty roar and charges up again, attacking Goku with a punch and then trying to stomp him before attacking Vegeta with its other hand, but all the attack misses their targets, making Agnilasa roar once more before it randomly attacks any other target in its surroundings with great ferocity.
Each single one of its attacks makes the whole fighting stage shake, generates powerful shockwaves, and raises strong gales while also completely laying waste to the area in its surroundings.
After managing to evade Agnilasa's assault, Broly and Goza join up with Goku, Cell, and Vegeta, while Goku declares, "Its power is incredible. We don't have much of a choice, but I don't think we can stop him without wasting too much stamina unless we all fight together." which makes Vegeta exclaim, "You don't have to tell me. That's obvious. It is clear that each one of us can defeat it in a one-on-one if we fight at full power, but that will also leave us too drained and exposed to an attack from the other teams."
At this point, Cell steps forward and suggests, "I say let's try to move in fast from different angles to confuse it, then we'll attack at once."
Goku quickly agrees and transforms into Super Saiyan God, and then each one of them rushes up to Agnilasa before separating and goes after a different limb of their gigantic target, attacking from various directions at almost the same time.
However, Agnilasa's antenna briefly flashes, and not only does it manage to track all five of them, but it proves fast enough to knock them each away before they can even land an attack, making the spectators react with shock, amazement, and disbelief.
"Oh, come on!"
"They all charged in quickly at the same time, and yet Agnilasa was able to accurately counter every single one of them!"
"If that massive beast can track five moving targets simultaneously, then he's even more dangerous than we thought."
""Wow!""
"Goku and his team are getting pounded!"
"They're in trouble!"
Shortly after, Goku gets up from the ground, groaning before he looks around and asks, "Hey, you guys, you okay?"
At the same time, Goza, Vegeta, Broly, and Cell also get up and calmly reply.
"Yeah."
"Tch!"
"Un..."
"I'm fine, too."
Then Goku wonders out loud, "So, do you guys think that guy can sense our energies at that ridiculous speed?" which makes Goza reply, "That's not it. Maybe it could do so for Vegeta, Broly, Cell, and me. However, you are currently a Super Saiyan God, which means that at the moment you are using God Ki, which can't be sensed normally and even more so through technological means."
Hearing that, Goku asks, "Then how do you think that guy did it?" which makes Goza calmly explain, "My guess is that Agnilasa can send out ultrasonic waves. Much like a dolphin or a bat. Those appendages where his ears should be look well-suited for that, on top of that, I'm sure I saw them briefly flash before it attacked us. This means that Agnilasa can probably pinpoint all our positions instantly, from any angle."
As soon as Goza finishes saying that, Agnilasa's antenna shines brightly for a moment before Agnilasa grins mockingly as if confirming Goza's words, making Goku snort and say, "Tch. Damn. That's gonna be a real problem."
Suddenly, Vegeta notices that Agnilasa is about to do something and warns everyone, "Watch yourselves! It looks like he's about to attack."
Agnilasa let out yet another roar and then throws a powerful punch aimed at the ground, however, before its fist could impact the ground, Agnilasa's uses its immense power to warp space, punching his fist through a wormhole to directly attack Goku from above, who took by surprise, isn't able to react in time and dodge so end up being crushed under Agnilasa's massive fist.
Seeing that scene, Gohan can't help but exclaim in shock, "No! Father!" followed by Krillin, who yells in disbelief, "It's its fist! It just warped across the ring!"
Piccolo then can't help but wonder, "Is he strong enough to bend space itself?" followed by Beerus, who adds, "Damn it! How's that even possible?"
At the same time, the Supreme Kai of the 3rd Universe, Erye, watches as Agnilasa continues to relentlessly throw punches through a wormhole to directly attack the rest of the group, laughs, and comments, "Hahaha! He's a true marvel of engineering!"
One of these warp punches sends Goku, who just recovered and got up from the last one, flying, but Cell quickly uses Instant Transmission and kicks him back into the arena before he can fall out of bounds.
Goku then pats the dust away from his pants and thanks Cell, who just landed after kicking him back into the arena, for saving him, "Thanks for saving me, Cell. If you hadn't kicked me like that I would've flow right out of the fighting stage." which makes Cell apologize, "I hope you can forgive me for not using a softer touch, Goku-san. I admit I lost my cool for a moment, after all, even if we have Goza, Vegeta-san, and Broly-san on our Team, I still feel that our Universe needs you if we want to have a better chance in winning this Tournament."
Hearing that, Goku chuckles and says, "Heh. There's nothin' to forgive. It takes more than a simple kick like that to hurt me. Hehehe." before he asks, "Hey, quick question. What are your thoughts on Autonomous Ultra Instinct? How does it compare with Super Saiyan 4?"
In response to that question, Cell thinks about it for a moment before he says, "At your current level, I think that Super Saiyan 4 is better... However, you clearly still are very far from mastering that state, but despite that, from what I felt, its power was already quite impressive. Maybe once mastered, the power you'll be able to unleash will surpass even that of the Super Full Power Saiyan 4."
Hearing Cell's answer, Goku grins and says, "I think so, too. Especially since Jayr gave me a glimpse of the power that one can attain using a similar state. And let me tell you, it truly was an eye-opening exp-"
Before they can continue, Agnilasa starts to approach them and soon launches another attack against the entire 7th Universe team, this time Agnilasa starts to try grabbing at warriors, in fact, it seems to be especially focused on Cell who also notices this and further taunts it in a mocking tone as he continues to dodge its attempts, "Are you trying to crush me in your palm? Perhaps you chose to come after me instead of Goku-san because you still feel a little salty that I kicked the ass of those three robots that are part of you on my own before. Well, you sure are a sore loser!"
After saying that and jumping out of the way, Cell retaliates by extending his right arm and firing a barrage of small, thin, very fast and concentrated laser-like beam of Ki from his index finger, which barrel down toward Agnilasa who counters by shooting a burst of red energy from the red crystal of its head causing a massive explosion on impact.
Agnilasa then let out another roar and immediately changes its targets and advances toward Vegeta, Broly, and Goza with heavy steps that make the whole fighting stage shake before it once again tries to grab them, making Vegeta wonder out loud, "If that beast gets a hold of us, then what's it is planning to do?"
Suddenly, as Agnilasa attemps to grab Goza, a portal opens behind him and from it, Peppars jumps out as he trise to take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack on the 7th Universe Team, however, among all the people he could've tried to sneak attack, Peppars made the worst choice possible as Goza immediately notice Peppars' presence behind him and reacts by grabbing Peppars' extended arm, and with a spin, quickly throwing the squid-like alien from the 9th Universe toward Agnilasa's huge hand before he jumps out of the way.
Seeing that scene, Krillin exclaims, "Good job, Goza! You dealt with that sneak attack perfectly!" followed by Gohan, who comments, "Trying a sneak attack on Goza-nii is very difficult! He was always wary of this kind of attack, to the point that he asked Father and Cell to randomly sneak attack him for a whole month using Instant Transmission as a form of training, even when he was sleeping or eating. He said that he needed to develop something he called 'Constant Vigilance' if he wanted to excel in his job as Galactic Patrolman..."
Meanwhile, Agnilasa doesn't hesitate to take the gift that Goza sent its way and quickly grabs Peppars before it tries to swallow him making Piccolo exclaim, "I don't believe it. It looks like it's actually planning to swallow him whole." followed by Whis who comments, "I guess Agnilasa realized that if it tries to knock them off from the fighting stage, one of their many teammates can save them. Eating them is a clever idea."
This makes the Supreme Kai Shin exclaim, "What are you praising it for?" followed by Android 17, who wonders, "But if it does that, isn't Agnilasa going to get disqualified for eating and killing its opponent?"
At this point, Vados shakes her head and explains, "I disagree. Despite its brute-like appearance, Agnilasa isn't a mindless beast of destruction, as it has clearly shown enough intelligence as a warrior and the surprising ability to adapt to the strategies of opponents, switching up attacks several times to throw them off. So I'm pretty sure that it won't commit such a crude mistake. Eating and killing are two very different things. On top of that, Agnilasa is still an artificial being formed by the fusion of Dr. Paparoni and his mechanical creations. For all we know, its stomach may be composed of some kind of prison to contain enemies."
Shortly after that, Gohan points at the fighting stage and comments, "I don't think this instance is going to be a problem. I mean, Peppars is quite the slippery enemy to face. After all, he was able to survive until now thanks to his abilities. Look."
Just as Gohan is saying that, Agnilasa opens its hand and lets Peppars fall toward its open maw; however, Peppars simply smirks and waves his hand, opening a portal in front of him before falling into it, disappearing into his Mirror Dimension, leaving Agnilasa with nothing.
Seeing its prey disappear into the portal, Agnilasa unleash an enraged roar while releasing a powerful aura before it throws a mighty uppercut aimed at the point where Peppars' portal was a few moments ago and with its immense power, Agnilasa warps space, punching his fist through a wormhole and seeing that, Goku immediately warns everyone, "Guys! Keep your eyes open! Another one of those nasty attacks is coming!"
However, different from all the other times Agnilasa used this technique, this time its fist didn't emerge anywhere on the fighting stage to attack any of the warriors of the 7th Universe, or even the other remaining contestants, much to the confusion of Vegeta, who exclaims, "What is going on here? Did that beast decide to attack some else?"
The next moment, the situation becomes clear as Agnilasa pulls his arm back from the wormhole it created, revealing that it has grabbed Peppers once more, making Whis exclaim and explain, "Amazing! Agnilasa-san used its immense power to forcefully warp space and open a wormhole to Peppars-san's Mirror Dimension, taking advantage of the small traces left behind by Peppars' portal to track it down."
While Whis is saying that, Agnilasa looks at Peppars in his hand and doesn't try to eat him this time, instead it grins evilly before it forcefully throws Peppars on the ground and follows up by repeatedly stomping on him.
Then satisfied with its outburst, Agnilisa grins and with a mighty kick, he sends the mangled body of Peppars, along with a good chunk of scattered debris of the upturned floor of the fighting stage, flying in the distance heading toward the bottomless abyss of the Null Realm.
However, I immediately notice another portal opening up on the opposite side of the fighting stage and from it a completely fine Peppars walks out, and at exactily the same time, the black marked tip of another one of his tentacles fades away together with the other almost completely ravaged body that was falling into the bottomless abyss as his power doubles once again.
Meanwhile, after venting its frustration on Peppers, Agnilasa forgets about him and focuses back on the 7th Universe Team, who in the meantime took advantage of the opportunity involuntarily created by Peppars to regroup.
Angilasa then lets out a roar and forms a red energy sphere in its hand before throwing it in their direction, then the sphere splits up into a massive barrage of smaller homing red energy waves forcing Goku, Goza, Vegeta, Broly, and Cell to scatter around and counter with their own Ki Blasts to block the onslaught making the spectators watching this exchange comment.
"My god... Those Ki Blasts keep on dividing to the point that they seem almost endless!"
"It's not just his power and speed, Agnilasa's got all sorts of tricky techniques, too. That guy is one heck of an opponent."
At one point, Cell is forced to block these endless homing Ki Blasts with his Android Barrier, but the continued assault manages to push him off until he reaches the edge of the fighting stage.
Agnilasa takes notice of this and, without any hesitation, fires a massive red energy beam from its mouth that causes the ground under Cell's feet to crumble, making Cell fall into the bottomless abyss of the Null Realm.
However, just as many people expected to see Cell materialize on the bleachers of the spectators' stand, he quickly makes use of his wings to fly and get back on the fighting stage, much to the annoyance of Agnilasa, who unleashes yet another roar that makes the whole fighting stage shake while its aura generates strong gales.
At the same time, Broly, Goku, Goza, and Vegeta quickly arrive at Cell's side with Goza asking, "That blast looked rough, Cell. Are you okay?" which makes Cell calmly reply, "Yeah, I'm good. I endured rougher blows during our training sessions." Something that makes Goza smirk.
The next moment, Agnilasa's aura turns into a massive, bright red pillar as the ultimate fused warrior of the 3rd Universe reveals its next trick.
Agnilasa grows violet-purple wings, which it then uses to fly up in the air while loudly chuckling, making the Zenos excited as they happily comment.
"Wow! The big one grew wings and now it can fly!"
"That's amazing! Yay for flying!"
At the same time, Goku can't help but exclaim in shock, "Man, is there anything this guy can't do?"
Agnilasa then roars yet again before it raises its arms up in the air and forms a massive red energy sphere above its head that almost resembles a red sun, whose impressive power makes the whole Null Realm shake yet again, making me wonder, 'Maybe I should start reinforcing the Null Realm as a whole... Technically, it should be able to endure even more powerful forces without collapsing, but one can't be too sure about such things. Oh well, if something unexpected happens, I can always fix it. Let's just enjoy the show.'
While I'm thinking that, Vegeta realizes Agnilasa's intentions and glares at the fused warrior of the 3rd Universe while saying, "That bastard! It thinks it can beat us all by destroying the fighting stage! Ha!" before he immediately transforms into Super Saiyan Blue with a shout.
Hearing what Vegeta just said, Cell powers himself up, and as a golden flame-like aura envelopes his body, he says with conviction in his tone, "We'll stop it, no matter what it takes!"
Following Cell, Goza, and Broly grunt and immediately transform into their respective Legendary Super Saiyan forms while Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue with a yell.
As the five remaining warriors of the 7th Universe powered themselves up, Agnilasa continues to supply more and more energy to its massive red energy sphere while the crystal on its head pulses with power, likely because that is the location of its energy reactor.
The next moment, Angilasa roars and hurls the massive red energy sphere at the group by swinging its arms down while Goku shouts, "Okay, let's do this!"
To hold off Agnilasa's massive energy ball the five remaining warriors of the 7th Universe all unleash their techniques, Goku and Goza fire off a Kamehameha, Vegeta fires his Final Flash, Broly fires his Gigantic Omegastorm, and Cell decides to use a Full Power Death Beam, likely with trying to take advantage of the piercing power of the Death Beam to power through Agnilasa energy ball and directly hit the fused warrior of the 3rd Universe.
For a moment, the five techniques are able to hold Agnilasa's energy ball off, but then Agnilasa roars and makes it larger and more powerful by supplying it with more energy from its energy reactor located in the crystal on his head that shines more and more brightly, and as a result, they are gradually pushed back.
At this point, Cell decides to change tactics; he stops firing his Full Power Death Beam and says, "You four keep hitting Agnilasa hard. I'll handle this."
After saying that, Cell surrounds himself in a cocoon-like energy shield that completely covers his figure and jumps straight toward the energy ball, and then the cocoon-like energy shield impacts against the energy ball, generating sparks of pure energy.
Suddenly, Cell's Ki spikes to absurd levels, and the cocoon-like energy shield punches straight through the energy ball. Then, as soon as the cocoon-like energy shield emerges from the other side of the energy ball, it bursts, revealing Cell's figure, but he has gone through impressive and somewhat familiar changes.
The most noticeable one is that the insect-like chitin armor of his upper body is completely gone, leaving only the forearm, and now his upper body is naked and covered in black fur in a manner strikingly similar to the one that covers a Super Saiyan 4's body.
On top of that, the shape of his upward-pointing horns with the black ball-like section also changed, taking a shape that very much reminds me of the shape it had in his Imperfect Form, but much smaller and with softer curves.
Another striking change is that he now sports a long mane of black wild hair that once again reminds me of that of a Super Saiyan 4.
Lastly, Cell's body also became considerably larger in both height and muscularity.
All these physical changes, in addition to his massive increase in both Ki and power, make me believe Cell has found a way to further tap into the full potential of his Saiyan heritage and reach a Super Saiyan 4-like form, something that makes me smirk while thinking, 'This is so cool!'

The newly transformed Cell then smirks and continues to advance toward Agnilasa, attacking the crystal sphere in Agnilasa's forehead, destroying Agnilasa's energy reactor, throwing the fused warrior off-balance enough for Goku and the others' blasts to push the massive energy ball back with one final push. At the same time, Cell also kicks Agnilasa toward it, causing a massive, blinding explosion.
