For ordinary people, size determines strength. But when power reaches a certain pinnacle, physical size becomes utterly irrelevant. Many powerhouse entities across the cosmos understand this universal truth.
For instance, the Sea Kings in the One Piece world are all colossal, yet in front of truly powerful pirates and marines, they can be destroyed with a mere flick of the wrist. Therefore, once individual strength reaches a certain threshold, a massive body does not necessarily equate to great power.
However, all viewers across the Wanjie Multiverse clearly understood that while Cell Max's body was enormous, his power was absolutely not to be underestimated. This was a nightmare-inducing monster possessing both immense size and catastrophic Ki. When the raw strength of two opposing forces is comparable, a massive physique becomes a devastating advantage.
Then again, only a terrifying monstrosity like Cell Max could force the awakening of Gohan's new form. Cell Max had already descended upon the battlefield. Naturally, the long-awaited Beast Gohan should be arriving next. Countless viewers were eagerly anticipating the moment, completely unable to contain their excitement to witness the god-tier power of Beast Gohan.
In the video broadcast, Cell Max's roaring appearance forced Gohan and the remaining warriors into a desperate team battle. Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 also joined the fray. Gamma 1 quickly informed Gohan and the others that Cell Max had a critical weakness located on the top of his head. This was a fail-safe flaw that Dr. Hedo had deliberately implemented during construction to prevent an uncontrollable situation just like this.
By concentrating their attacks on this specific weakness, they could theoretically defeat the monster. However, if that weakness was successfully breached, Cell Max would immediately trigger a cataclysmic self-destruction sequence.
Subsequently, Gohan, Piccolo, and the rest of the warriors teamed up to besiege Cell Max. Goten and Trunks attempted to perform the Fusion Dance, but because they hadn't synchronized in a long time, the execution failed.
Instead of the mighty Gotenks, they fused into a round, obese figure. This failed fusion charged recklessly at Cell Max but was immediately sent flying by a casual swat from the behemoth. The failed fusion barreled straight toward Android 18, who promptly kicked him back into the air toward the enemy.
Meanwhile, Gamma 1 used an Aerial Blitz from above, slamming the failed fusion directly toward Cell Max. The failed fusion's head collided heavily with Cell Max's skull, causing a noticeable fracture to appear on the monster's head.
Seeing this, Piccolo and the Z Fighters were overjoyed. This was the first time a failed fusion had actually served a useful purpose in battle. However, because the crack had appeared on his head, the weakness was prematurely triggered. This agonizing pain caused Cell Max to instantly snap, entering a completely berserk state of blind rage. The sudden spike in the monster's chaotic Ki made the situation for Gohan and the others significantly more difficult.
During this frantic battle with Cell Max, Piccolo also showcased the incredible power he had unlocked after having his potential boosted by Shenron. Not only did his battle power increase significantly, but he could even alter his physical appearance, akin to a standard Saiyan transformation. As his inner energy surged, Piccolo's body grew sturdier, and his original green skin shifted into a stark orange hue.
The narrator's voice echoed through the dimensions, explaining that this was Piccolo's new form, called Orange Piccolo, obtained through his wish to Shenron. After playing a supporting role across multiple eras, Piccolo had finally updated his power to match the current scaling.
Hearing the narrator's commentary, Piccolo, watching from his own timeline, was deeply moved. Once upon a time, he was a powerhouse second only to Goku. He had stood against Frieza's terrifying forms on Namek, and after fusing with Kami, his power was entirely comparable to Android 17's.
But as the threats scaled higher, his role on the battlefield had steadily shrunk until he became an observer. Watching himself gradually turn into a background character was highly frustrating for the proud Namekian, but he knew those cosmic battles were simply beyond his reach. Now, his own version had finally been updated with a formidable transformation. With Orange Piccolo, he could finally stand on the front lines again.
However, Piccolo also rationally understood that the true protagonist of this life-or-death struggle was Gohan. Even with the power of Orange Piccolo, he was still not an equal match for the rampaging Cell Max. Indeed, Piccolo's tactical assessment proved correct.
In the footage, despite pushing his Orange Piccolo form to the limit, he still could not suppress the giant beast. Cell Max's sheer mass and overwhelming energy held the absolute advantage.
At Krillin's urgent reminder, Piccolo remembered his innate Namekian ability to alter his size. He underwent a Great Namekian giant transformation, using his newly enlarged body to physically grapple with Cell Max's massive frame.
However, this giant transformation merely altered his physical dimensions and did not inherently increase his raw power level. Therefore, he still found himself being overpowered by Cell Max.
At this critical juncture, Gamma 2 formulated a desperate tactical plan. He instructed the others to launch long-range Ki blasts to divert Cell Max's attention, while he would seize the opening to strike the weakness on the head.
With the coordinated efforts of Gohan and Piccolo, Cell Max's focus was successfully pulled away. Gamma 2 rocketed high into the upper atmosphere, accumulating every drop of his internal energy into a single, piercing strike.
I am a superhero, Gamma 2 roared as he dove downward like a meteor toward Cell Max's head. His fully accumulated energy exploded upon impact. A blinding flash and a massive explosion engulfed Cell Max, obscuring the battlefield.
When the smoke finally cleared, Cell Max's head was heavily fractured but still intact. Gamma 2 was thrown back by the recoil, falling helplessly to the shattered earth below, his vibrant colors completely fading into a lifeless gray.
The narrator solemnly stated that Gamma 2, an Android created by the eccentric Dr. Hedo, had always considered himself a superhero. While his initial actions of attacking Piccolo and working under the Red Ribbon banner made the audience doubt his ideals, the moment he gambled his entire life force to charge at Cell Max, he became a true superhero. His final cry had become an undeniable reality.
These words deeply moved the countless viewers watching across the multiverse. When Gamma 2 first appeared, many people disliked him because he had targeted Piccolo, a core member of the Z Fighters who had spent his life protecting Earth. But as Gamma 2's genuine nature unfolded, public opinion completely shifted.
The audience realized he wasn't inherently evil; he had actively tried to stop what he thought were threats and protected Pan from Magenta's subordinates. Those protective actions proved he possessed the heart of a warrior. The final, desperate charge solidified his legacy. Looking at his faded, gray form, it was clear he had sacrificed his life, executing that final strike with an absolute resolve to die for the peace of the world.
