This is also a technique that Raditz and Salari would never use unless absolutely necessary.
Salari could do it too!
The very next second after Raditz unleashed it, Salari also used Super Kaio-ken.
BOOM~~!!!! A deafening sound shook the sky.
Two powerful beams of blood-red light shot into the sky. Raditz and Salari's aura grew explosively, their power levels skyrocketing. In just the blink of an eye, they had broken past the 2 billion mark.
Crackle crackle~~!!!!!
Intense blood-red lightning crackled around them, tearing apart all the binding threads that had been restraining their bodies.
Feeling the crushing pressure rushing toward them, Bujin, Bido, and Zangya's eyes widened in terror. Their bodies retreated uncontrollably, stunned.
"Impossible…! You two were hiding such power all along?!" Bujin's face went pale, his voice trembling in shock.
"These b*stards… they've been toying with us this whole time!! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!" Bido roared hysterically, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?! Who are these guys, where did they come from?! With power like this, why would they obey the orders of Kais?" Zangya's face broke out in cold sweat as the suffocating aura bore down on her, even breathing became difficult for her.
At the same time, Raditz and Salari's blood-red aura expanded unrestrainedly.
The storm of violent energy swept out in all directions. Bujin, Bido, and Zangya felt themselves losing control of their bodies, blown away like kites with cut strings under the crushing pressure.
Suddenly, Raditz moved.
Whoosh! A sharp sound tore through the air.
Cold and merciless, Raditz locked onto Bujin first and swung a devastating punch.
Sensing the danger, Bujin instinctively tried to defend, but he simply had no power to block it.
BANG!!!!
Raditz's heavy fist punched through Bujin's chest, raw power bursting outward and tearing his body apart into pieces.
"You b*stard!!" Bido, who had just come to his senses, found that Bujin had already died. Overwhelmed by fury, he swung his right arm and unleashed an energy blast at Raditz.
However, at the moment he launched his attack, Raditz had already arrived before him. His right leg lashed out like a sharp blade, striking Bido's waist with lightning speed.
BOOM!!!
Bido's body shattered on impact, splitting in two before exploding.
The entire process had taken less than three seconds, and two of them died at Raditz's hand.
"Phew~!" After finishing them off, Raditz let out a long breath and released his Super Kaio-ken form.
Though this form could boost his power enormously in a short time, the strain it placed on his body was immense, and the duration was extremely short.
On the other side, facing the murderous Salari, Zangya was struck with sheer terror. She wanted to resist, but her body wouldn't move.
Fear consumed her, the dread of Salari's strength crushing her will to even fight back.
"This is the end! You were a decent opponent for letting me experience a true battle… but unfortunately, you and I are enemies!" As Salari's words fell, she raised her right arm, fingers spread wide, aiming straight at Zangya.
Zangya's pupils flickered frantically. Death was right before her eyes!
"W-wait, I…"
The words never finished.
BOOM~~!!!! A muffled sound burst out.
An overwhelmingly powerful energy beam shot out, swallowing Zangya.
In the blink of an eye, she was reduced to ashes under the violent energy, without even a chance to scream.
"It's over." Salari spoke softly, also releasing her Super Kaio-ken. She glanced at Raditz's side, then both turned their gaze toward the other battlefield in the distance.
Their fight here was finished. The battle between Talot and Bojack should be nearing its end as well.
…
Over a vast field of ruins.
Talot, while fighting Bojack, had already sensed what happened on the battlefield on the other side.
[It seems the aura from my Super Saiyan 2 outburst must have stimulated them. Still, their growth has exceeded my expectations. That aura just now, wasn't it from using Kaio-ken? To use Kaio-ken in Super Saiyan form… even I haven't tried that.]Talot thought to himself.
Countless thoughts filled his mind.
Across from him, Bojack's eyes flickered with fear, but soon, a madness surged up from their depths.
"Heh heh heh… hahahahaha!!! This is just too interesting!! I never thought that in this world, there could really exist someone who could rival me. After living in boredom for so long, I can finally have a little fun!" Bojack laughed wildly, venting his excitement.
Once the mighty tyrant of the universe, his loneliness was something no one could ever understand.
Now, the strength Talot displayed had ignited Bojack's fighting spirit!
"Your companions are all dead, yet you can still laugh. Looks like you never cared about them. Too bad for your comrades, even at death's door, they still trusted you." Talot, recalling the original work's storyline, spoke coldly.
He had to admit, Bojack's comrades weren't entirely worthless.
"Comrades? Ridiculous! They were nothing more than tools to help me kill time. So what if they died? That only proves they were too weak. Sharing the same bloodline as me, yet so weak. They deserved their deaths." Bojack gathered power in his right arm before suddenly swinging it, releasing over a dozen cyan energy blasts toward Talot.
"Truly heartless! But in a way, you're not wrong. In this world, only the strong can set the rules!" Facing Bojack's attack, Talot swung his arm, sending several Spiraling Energy Balls streaking through the air, colliding with Bojack's cyan energy blasts.
RUMBLE~~!!!!!
The energy blasts collided, detonating all at once.
A towering wall of flames erupted, but was instantly compressed and contained within a fixed space by the sheer pressure of their auras.
The next moment, Bojack charged forward, his body tearing through the flames as he appeared before Talot. In an instant, a barrage of fierce punches poured down on Talot like a storm of lightning.
But Talot had already seen through every one of Bojack's attack patterns in their earlier exchange.
Casually neutralizing all of Bojack's attacks, Talot counterattacked.
BANG!!! A devastating upward kick, carrying a terrifying crushing force, landed squarely on Bojack's jaw.
The strike sent Bojack spurting blood from his mouth, his eyes rolling around as if he had been knocked senseless.
But Bojack is indeed worthy of being a former overlord, his ability to adjust during a battle is extraordinary.
He quickly stabilized himself, then once again swung both arms, fiercely attacking Talot.
