While disaster unfolded in the underworld, Raditz materialized at the Grand Kai's planet. The four King Kai had assembled to discuss countermeasures—or rather, they were desperately awaiting Raditz's arrival.
The moment he appeared, it felt as though a ray of hope had suddenly pierced the darkness.
"You're finally here!" The Grand Kai leaped forward with overwhelming joy, rushing to welcome him.
King Kai knew Raditz best, and the underworld crisis had left him extremely anxious. Raditz was undoubtedly the ideal person to resolve this matter. Seeing his arrival brought immediate relief.
"I told you Raditz would come to help! This is wonderful!"
"Yes, absolutely!" the South Kai echoed enthusiastically.
"Hurry up and eliminate that creature before it causes more chaos! My West Galaxy is in complete disarray!" The West Kai urged repeatedly, deeply depressed after his champion Pikkon's defeat.
"Janmeba is indeed tremendously powerful," Raditz observed, gazing into the distance and sensing overwhelming pressure. This aura's magnitude was weaker than Mira's, but Janemba possessed two forms—this was merely the first.
The ultimate form's power rivaled Raditz's own strength. Facing such an opponent made his Saiyan blood boil, his eyes burning with anticipation.
While Raditz was still assessing the situation, the West Kai couldn't contain his impatience. "Stop delaying and go already!"
Stop delayung? This remark deeply irritated Raditz, who immediately erupted with a burst of energy that knocked the West Kai to the ground! Grass blades fluttered around them, each one cleanly severed by razor-sharp air pressure. The tremendous force descended like a crushing weight, making all the Realm Kings' heads spin.
"Watch your tone. Do I have some obligation to help you?" Raditz's eyes blazed like lightning, making the West Kai suddenly tremble as chills ran down his spine.
Only then did the West Kai realize his hasty words had been completely inappropriate. His body went rigid as he lay on the ground—though his rear ached, he didn't dare make a sound.
Raditz withdrew his gaze, turning his back on the fallen Kai and speaking coldly: "There's something else you seem to have forgotten—I'm an apprentice Supreme Kai."
This statement struck like a sledgehammer, causing the West Kai to collapse completely. That's right—beyond possessing tremendous power, Raditz held the rank of apprentice Supreme Kai and might become a full Supreme Kai in the future!
Wind swept across the faces of the assembled Realm Kings as they struggled to breathe under the lingering pressure. King Kai regarded the West Kai with pitying eyes, shaking his head slightly while silently rejoicing that he'd always maintained good relations with Raditz.
Raditz teleported away, ignoring the others' expressions entirely.
"West Kai, you should mind your words and conduct..." the Grand Kai advised earnestly.
"Yes, sir," the West Kai replied, head bowed in shame after realizing his mistake.
"I wonder if Raditz can defeat that terrifying being."
"Perhaps. But..." The Grand Kai straightened with an extremely resolute tone. "If Raditz also falls, the entire underworld will be destroyed, and the universe will suffer catastrophically."
Before King Yemma's palace, Raditz arrived instantaneously. Strange spatial distortions prevented his instant transmission from approaching Yemma directly, blocking him outside. A rotund figure sat atop the palace, waving his hands while babbling:
"Jane... mba... Jane... mba..."
The dull-eyed creature could only repeat this single phrase, his bloated body barely moving except for left-right swaying. Raditz's appearance seemed to confuse him slightly.
"This being's aura is absolutely terrifying—truly a concentration of pure malevolence," Raditz couldn't help but acknowledge. "This will require some serious effort!"
King Yemma's voice reached his ears: "Raditz! You're finally here! That thing is sitting right on top of my palace!"
"I can see that, Yemma. Hold on a bit longer—I'll defeat him."
With that declaration, Raditz ignited his power, his entire form enveloped in brilliant white aura. He activated his Mystic state immediately, preparing for an all-out battle.
This transformation obviously caught Janemba's attention. The creature clapped his palms together while facing Raditz, his facial features bunching up. Was he happy? The foolish-looking Janemba proved far from stupid in combat.
The next moment, Janemba suddenly launched his attack. His arm swung to one side, half of it disappearing into thin air as spatial manipulation moved it beside Raditz. Almost instantly, the massive appendage passed through the void and rushed toward its target.
"Hah." Raditz snorted, dodging the attack effortlessly as the fist sailed past his hair.
Janemba appeared genuinely surprised, tilting his head as if wondering why the blow had missed. This didn't affect his continued assault, however. He opened air holes across his stomach and fired energy blasts repeatedly.
Raditz remained stationary without dodging, casually deflecting the dense barrage with one hand. The energy bombs struck his colorful barrier and exploded thunderously. Attacks that had left Pikkon unable to fight back were like marbles to Raditz, who took the opportunity to counter with several ki waves of his own.
"Oh no, this will destroy everything!" King Yemma cried out alongside his ogre assistants.
"They're too frightening!" All the ogres collapsed to the ground.
This level of battle naturally exceeded their endurance. Hearing the screams from Yemma's palace, Raditz immediately pressed forward, delivering a lightning-fast punch to Janemba's face that sent the creature tumbling from his perch!
The enormous body crashed into the underworld below, rolling like a ball into the depths. Despite his bloated appearance, the creature possessed tremendous elasticity—ordinary attacks proved ineffective. Even Raditz's devastating striking power only sent him rolling downward without causing serious injury.
"Jane... mba..."
While falling through the underworld, Janemba managed to counterattack. He summoned countless colored spheres from nowhere, launching them at Raditz in overwhelming waves. Simultaneously, he released continuous energy blasts, boring massive holes throughout the realm.
"Troublesome creature," Raditz muttered, suddenly expanding his psychic influence. The entire space seemed to fall under his control—he alone could move freely while even Janemba's movements slowed dramatically.
Countless energy bombs froze mid-air before exploding simultaneously.
The underworld trembled as tremendous energy fluctuations spread throughout the realm. Smoke and dust engulfed Janemba's massive form, his own released energy causing damage to himself. As his body struck the ground, the creature cried out in pain and irritation: "Janemba! Janemba!"
Stimulated by Raditz's assault, Janemba's form began changing. His vacant stare became brighter as ferocious emotions spread throughout the space, shattering Raditz's psychic confinement.
