A crisp female voice echoed from within the.
"Tch… it actually managed to run this far."
The next second—
A woman clad in black gauze stepped gracefully out of the dimensional crack.
When she saw the dark crimson Dragon Ball pulsating violently inside Cell's abdomen, her expression changed immediately.
"So it ended up here…"
She instantly raised her staff.
A powerful summoning force burst forth.
The red Dragon Ball wrapped in black aura trembled violently.
Yet despite the surging magic—
It still refused to leave the crazed, demonized Cell.
The woman's expression stiffened.
"Damn it…"
"It's resisting my magic!"
At that moment—
The berserk Cell locked his blood-red eyes onto her.
He opened his mouth wide.
A gigantic energy blast mixed with purple lightning erupted toward her.
The woman hurriedly created a protective barrier.
But the instant the purple energy touched it—
CRACK!
The barrier shattered instantly.
Cold sweat formed on her forehead.
"Damn…"
"This thing is ridiculously strong…"
Demonized Cell stepped forward again.
Roaring wildly, he fired energy blasts everywhere.
The woman retreated continuously while barely maintaining another shield.
Suddenly—
One stray energy blast shot directly toward Goku and Future Gohan.
Gohan quickly dodged backward.
But Goku feared the blast might destroy Earth.
Grinding his teeth, he gathered ki into his leg and kicked the blast skyward.
WHOOSH!
The energy wave was sent flying into outer space.
Without hesitation, Goku instantly transmitted beside the mysterious woman.
He placed both hands at his waist.
"Kaaa…"
"Meeee…"
"Haaaa…"
"Meeee…"
"HAAAA!!!"
A blazing Kamehameha slammed into Cell.
But Demonized Cell had become overwhelmingly powerful.
Even Goku's attack only pushed him back a few steps.
Goku's expression darkened.
"This is bad…"
"What the hell is this thing…?"
Once Cell's bombardment stopped briefly, the woman quickly distanced herself.
She lightly pressed a hand against her chest as it rose and fell rapidly.
Then she winked flirtatiously at Goku.
"Thanks for saving me just now, handsome~"
Goku frowned and pointed toward the dark Dragon Ball embedded in Cell's abdomen.
"Did you cause this?"
The woman shrugged helplessly.
"As if I had that kind of ability."
"After the Dark Dragon Balls scattered, they escaped into various timelines."
"They choose their own masters."
"I'm simply collecting them for a certain wish…"
She paused briefly.
"Except…"
"Except what?"
She looked toward the rampaging Cell.
At this moment, Cell had completely lost his sanity.
He was simply destroying everything around him.
"He's too strong now."
"The Dark Dragon Ball doesn't want to leave him."
"That makes retrieving it difficult."
Goku stared at her seriously.
Though his tone remained blunt.
"I don't really want to help you people."
"But there's no choice right now."
"Gohan and I will fight him."
"You take the Dragon Ball while we weaken him."
"Understood?"
The woman covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"My, how forceful."
"But I like your personality."
"So I'll listen to you~"
She raised her staff once more, preparing to summon the Dark Dragon Ball at any moment.
"Go."
"The weaker he becomes…"
"The higher my chances of success."
Goku nodded.
Then he and Gohan exploded forward together.
Both released the full power of Super Saiyan 2 without holding back.
Golden lightning streaked across the sky.
Faced with the combined assault of father and son—
Even the mutated Demonized Cell was beaten back continuously.
Watching them, the mysterious woman licked her lips slightly.
"How surprising…"
"These two are incredibly strong."
"To actually fight evenly against a monster empowered by a Dark Dragon Ball…"
Goku and Gohan became twin golden flashes in the sky.
Their fists and kicks rained down endlessly upon Cell's massive body.
Every strike caused him to howl in pain.
His dark-purple armor cracked repeatedly as black energy leaked out.
"HAAAA!!!"
Gohan delivered a powerful spinning kick that launched Cell high into the air.
"Now, Dad!"
Goku inhaled deeply.
Blue-white light gathered brilliantly between his palms.
"KAMEHAMEHAAAAA!!!"
The violent beam engulfed Cell entirely.
Shockwaves exploded outward, filling the battlefield with endless smoke.
"The opportunity's here!"
The woman's eyes flashed brightly.
She swung her staff fiercely.
A powerful magical force wrapped around the Dark Dragon Ball.
Grinding her teeth, she shouted:
"Come… OUT!!"
Her magic surged to its limit.
CRACK!!
Finally—
The Dark Dragon Ball separated from Cell's body.
It transformed into a streak of crimson light and flew directly into her hand.
"Success!"
A proud smile appeared on her face.
Yet—
Even after losing the Dragon Ball—
Cell did not collapse immediately.
Instead, he seemed to regain a moment of sanity.
"Not good!"
"He's trying to escape!"
Gohan's expression changed instantly.
Goku clenched his teeth.
Even while exhausted, he forced himself to raise his hands again.
"This really empties the tank…"
"Kamehameha!!"
Another weaker beam erupted.
But it struck Cell directly.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The sky lit up completely.
Cell's body disintegrated piece by piece within the light.
His twisted face froze in utter terror.
"Damn youuuuu…"
His scream abruptly ended.
The blue-white flames of the Kamehameha burst apart like a miniature sun, shredding the clouds above.
"We won!"
Krillin collapsed onto the ground.
His martial arts uniform was completely soaked with sweat.
Looking at the fading energy in the sky—
He suddenly burst into laughter.
Though tears slowly formed in his eyes.
"What a ridiculous rollercoaster…"
"I still can't believe any of this…"
Chiaotzu pointed excitedly upward.
"Tien!"
"Cell's energy completely disappeared!"
Tien Shinhan looked at him deeply and nodded firmly.
Yamcha pinched his own thigh hard to make sure this wasn't a dream.
"This is incredible…"
"There's no way he survives THIS time!"
At the edge of the lookout, Piccolo clenched his fists tightly.
His cape fluttered violently in the wind.
Though veins bulged beneath his green skin—
A smile still formed uncontrollably on his face.
As Cell's body completely turned to ash—
The smoke finally cleared.
Goku could no longer remain standing.
He dropped to one knee, gasping heavily.
Gohan quickly supported him.
"Dad!"
"Are you alright?"
Goku forced out a smile.
"I'm fine…"
"At least it's finally over…"
Just then—
The mysterious woman walked over while casually playing with the Dark Dragon Ball in her hand.
"What a spectacular battle, Saiyans."
Goku looked at her.
"We helped you retrieve the Dragon Ball."
"You should leave now, right?"
She blinked innocently.
"Aww~"
"You're kicking me out already?"
"Even though I helped you quite a bit?"
Gohan immediately stepped protectively in front of his exhausted father.
"What exactly do you want?"
Goku gently pushed him aside.
"It's okay, Gohan."
"She doesn't have bad intentions."
Gohan froze briefly before stepping back silently.
Although exhausted, Goku still forced himself to stand upright.
He hated looking up at women.
The woman chuckled softly.
Then suddenly—
She stepped close to him.
Rose onto her toes—
And lightly kissed him on the cheek.
Feeling the cool softness of her lips—
Goku covered his cheek in complete shock.
He stared at her blankly.
Who would've thought those seemingly useless charisma points from childhood would pay off for life…
The woman smiled mischievously.
Her seductive gaze locked onto him.
"I don't know why…"
"But you feel different from the other Son Gokus."
"I have a feeling…"
"We'll meet again someday."
With a wave of her staff—
Space tore open once more.
She turned and walked toward the裂缝.
Right before disappearing—
She looked back.
Then winked at Goku playfully before vanishing together with the dimensional crack.
Krillin's jaw dropped so wide it looked like he could fit a Senzu Bean inside.
He stared at Yamcha in disbelief.
"H-Hey!"
"Did you see that?!"
"That weird woman just kissed Goku!"
Yamcha crossed his arms, equally confused.
"Who even WAS that woman?"
"How does she know Goku?"
Krillin blinked rapidly.
"I have no idea…"
"I've never seen her before…"
Nappa rubbed his shiny bald head in shock while looking toward Raditz.
"That woman could literally tear open space…"
"She's terrifying…"
"How does Kakarot even know someone like that?!"
Raditz shrugged helplessly.
"How should I know?"
"My little brother has never been like a normal Saiyan…"
Future Gohan stared at the vanished dimensional crack with a deep frown.
He turned toward Goku.
"Dad…"
"That woman definitely isn't simple."
"I sensed an evil aura from her."
Goku shook his head.
"Don't worry."
"I know who she is."
At that moment—
Nappa fed Vegeta a Senzu Bean.
Once fully recovered, Vegeta immediately walked toward Goku.
"Kakarot."
"Who exactly was that woman?"
Goku answered calmly:
"She's a Demon Goddess from the Dark Demon Realm."
"And she comes from a different timeline."
Vegeta's pupils shrank.
"A Demon Goddess… from another timeline?!"
"Yeah."
Goku nodded.
"When I fought Frieza on Namek…"
"A Dark Dragon Ball once flew into him too."
"He became stronger just like Cell."
"Luckily, another Demon Goddess appeared and removed it."
He scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Though…"
"I got blasted into the water back then."
"So I never saw her face clearly before she left."
Future Gohan's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"So this already happened back on Namek?!"
Goku nodded.
"Why are you so surprised?"
Gohan lowered his gaze slightly.
"So that's why…"
"No wonder this world is so different from mine…"
"It had already begun changing long ago…"
