c104: Full Blast!
As Li Xu deftly dodged the barrage of energy blasts, Android 21 suddenly reappeared behind him, unleashing a sharp kick.
Whoosh!
Her leg passed cleanly through a fading afterimage—a classic Z-Fighter feint. Eyes narrowing, she spun around, now alert. But before she could react, Li Xu flashed directly in front of her, his fist burying into her abdomen with devastating force.
Android 21 gasped, her body folding as she clutched her stomach in pain.
Before she could recover, Li Xu spun and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, launching her through the sky.
"Ka...me...ha...me...ha!!!"
Without pause, Li Xu's palms glowed with blue light. With a booming shout, he thrust his hands forward. A brilliant blue Kamehameha wave surged from his hands, roaring through the sky in pursuit of Android 21 as she tumbled backward.
Boom!
The blast collided, igniting a massive explosion that formed a blazing hemispherical dome. The force of the impact blasted a shockwave outward in all directions.
"So strong!" Goku braced himself, shielding the others with his body. The rest stood huddled behind him, the violent wind nearly knocking them off their feet.
"Did that do it?" No. 18 stared toward the explosion's epicenter, her expression tense.
As the dust began to clear, there was no trace of Android 21. But Li Xu's face didn't relax. Instead, his sharp gaze remained locked on the smoldering ground, where pink fragments flesh-like and quivering lay scattered.
"We won!" Son Gohan exclaimed, a hopeful smile forming.
"It's not over yet," Piccolo warned grimly. He couldn't explain it but something felt wrong, a warrior's intuition honed through decades of battle.
Before their eyes, the pink fragments twitched then began to shift and squirm. Slowly, impossibly, the pieces pulled together, fusing, reforming. Within seconds, Android 21 stood once more, completely intact.
"No way!" No. 17 shouted in disbelief. "She took a full-power Kamehameha and regenerated?!"
"Is she immortal?" Piccolo muttered, sweat trailing down his temple.
"Dad says there's no true immortality just insufficient destruction," Li Yi explained. "If even one cell survives, beings like her can regenerate."
"This is crazy... If even Super Saiyan 3's full power can't destroy her completely..." No. 18 said, her voice laced with worry. She sneaked a quick glance at Li Xu, concern flashing in her eyes.
"Dad will win!" Bra shouted, her voice full of unwavering belief.
"It's like Cell's regeneration only worse," Li Xu muttered. "To stop her, we'll need to annihilate every single cell... just like with Majin Buu." He had expected this, knowing 21 inherited abilities from both Buu and Cell but seeing it firsthand was still unsettling.
"Then let's see if you're capable of doing that," Android 21 said sweetly. Her tone was gentle, but her eyes burned with demonic light. Her smile twisted with malice.
"You can try me," Li Xu replied calmly, fists raised.
Huh! Huh!
Both fighters vanished at once. In the air, a storm of impacts rang out. Fist met fist, knee clashed with elbow, each strike faster and heavier than the last. Their silhouettes flickered like lightning, each blow cracking the sky.
Despite Android 21's insane regeneration, Li Xu had the upper hand. His strikes were sharper, his ki more stable. 21 could only block and evade, unable to mount a serious counterattack.
"Li Xu's strength is unreal," Goku said with admiration. "I wonder how long I'd need to train to catch up."
"I will surpass him!" Vegeta said fiercely, fists trembling not with fear, but with determination and frustration. Again, Li Xu was ahead and it burned him.
"That woman is nearly impossible to kill," Piccolo said with a deep frown. If Li Xu couldn't completely annihilate her, they were in serious danger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sky rippled with white shockwaves as Li Xu and Android 21 continued their high-speed clash. Their bodies blurred through the air, and each reappearance came with a thunderous impact that cracked the atmosphere like thunder.
Whoosh!
Li Xu was suddenly blasted backward, spinning uncontrollably as he plummeted. Just before impact, he twisted mid-air and stabilized himself, skidding to a halt with a burst of energy. With a burst of ki from his foot, he rocketed forward again, appearing before 21 in an instant.
Boom!
His fist slammed into Android 21's stomach.
As energy surged into his arm, a point-blank blast erupted from his fist, propelling 21 far into the distance.
Boom!
The explosion sent shockwaves outward, a mushroom cloud towering above. The sheer force shook the entire landscape, rupturing the crust and throwing the planet's surface into disarray. People around the globe were thrown into panic as tremors rocked the ground.
As the dust settled, 21's body reformed from scattered gelatinous pink fragments, wriggling together just like Majin Buu's post-destruction recovery.
"Her regenerative ability is a nightmare," Li Xu muttered. He had dealt with Cell's regeneration before, but this was even more efficient, resembling Buu's near-instant cellular recovery.
"You hurt me… so I'll stop holding back now," Android 21 said coldly, her voice no longer playful murderous intent bled through her every word.
"Aaahhh!"
She screamed, and a thick black aura erupted from her body. Her power surged doubling in a flash just like Cell's Zenkai-style growth but far more unrestrained and sinister. Her energy distorted the space around her.
"She can increase her power like Cell... but this is different," Goku observed gravely. Her ki now overshadowed even Li Xu's Super Saiyan 3 level.
"I hope Li Xu hasn't shown everything yet…" Piccolo whispered, knowing full well that no one else present could help if Li Xu fell.
"Please win... Li Xu," Bulma said softly, holding Bra close as she stared up at the sky.
"The power she's channeling is pure malice... demonic in nature," Li Xu noted. The corruption was evident the more she drew from this evil source, the more it twisted her.
"If I destroy you, then the one hiding behind you will have no choice but to show themselves," he said, raising his hand.
Om!
Li Xu unleashed the Law of Force, his own ki skyrocketing. In a flash, his battle power doubled now nearing two trillion a level far beyond what he had revealed before. This was his final trump card.
Boom!
The two launched toward each other simultaneously, fists clashing in a collision that sent massive shockwaves tearing through the planet's crust, leaving deep fissures spiderwebbing across the ground.
With no time to pause, both warriors unleashed a flurry of attacks fists, elbows, knees, all colliding with bone-crushing force.
"So he was still hiding his true power...!" Goku said with a thrilled expression. He could barely contain his urge to jump into the fray but the power gap was still too vast.
"What a terrifying man," No. 18 said with a mix of awe and amusement.
"Damn it... that gap...!" Vegeta growled, his hands clenched so tightly that blood trickled from his palms.
Boom!
Li Xu exploited an opening, driving his fist through 21's abdomen with devastating force. Her body trembled as a massive hole blew out her back.
But within seconds, the wound sealed no scar, no weakness completely healed.
"You can't kill me," 21 laughed with confidence. "And once your energy runs dry, I'll slaughter you... and then every last one of your friends slowly!"
Her voice dripped with malevolence, her grin a twisted blend of madness and triumph.
