Piccolo had completely lost control.
Being toyed with so effortlessly shattered his pride and reason.
Veins bulged in his eyes. His breathing turned ragged.
"I'll kill you! I'll destroy this entire world!!"
He leaped backward and shot a hundred meters into the sky.
Dark storm clouds churned violently, forming a massive vortex overhead.
Lightning crackled wildly.
The sea below began to churn as waves slammed against the shore.
Piccolo hovered mid-air, arms spread wide, gathering energy frantically.
Purple lightning wrapped around him as his face twisted with fury.
"If I can't beat you… I'll blow this entire island to dust along with you!!!"
Energy condensed between his palms.
It grew brighter.
Heavier.
More violent.
"Super Explosive Demon Wave!!!"
The sphere swelled to its limit, radiating a suffocating aura.
The sky turned purple.
The crowd collapsed into chaos.
"He's insane!"
"The island is going to sink!"
"I don't want to die!"
Even Master Roshi and Tien Shinhan turned pale.
Tien Shinhan stared upward, trembling.
"That level of Qi… can anyone stop it?"
"Goku, hurry!" Bulma screamed.
Goku was about to jump—
But a hand stopped him.
Mr. Shen.
"Wait." His voice was calm.
"Look at Krillin. He hasn't gotten serious yet. At this point… victory already belongs to him."
At the center of the arena, wind whipped Krillin's dress violently.
He remained calm.
The System interface flashed.
[Warning: High-energy attack detected.]
[Threat Level: Capable of destroying small island.]
[Recommended Response: Serious Series.]
[Restriction: Do not kill target. Reduce output.]
Krillin sighed.
"Always trying to blow up the planet. Typical villain phase."
He stepped back slightly.
Lowered his stance.
Drew his fist to his waist.
He closed his eyes.
Inside him surged boundless power — the broken limiter strength of the One-Punch Man template.
A sleeping dragon.
"Thirty percent should be enough."
His eyes opened sharply.
"Normal Punch · Modified · Thirty Percent Output."
He punched upward.
No light effects.
No flashy aura.
Just a simple, ordinary punch.
Thoom.
The air shattered.
An invisible shockwave exploded upward.
It pierced the sky like a transparent pillar.
The energy sphere in Piccolo's hands—
Erased.
Scattered instantly into particles.
The shockwave continued upward, blasting through the storm clouds.
Boom—
The sky split open.
A massive circular hole several kilometers wide formed in the clouds.
Sunlight poured down.
Golden rays bathed the arena.
Piccolo, grazed by the edge of the shockwave, was blown from the sky.
His clothes shredded instantly.
He crashed into the arena.
Thud.
A deep crater formed.
Silence.
Everyone stared at the hole in the sky.
One punch.
Just one punch.
Dispersed the storm.
Destroyed the attack.
The first voice that broke the silence trembled.
"A… A God…"
Krillin lowered his fist and casually blew on it.
Then he walked to the crater.
At the bottom lay Piccolo.
Bloodied.
Limbs twisted.
His regeneration struggled to repair the damage.
But the light in his eyes was gone.
"Why…" Piccolo whispered weakly.
"You had the power… why not kill me?"
Krillin crouched.
"Kill you? Then I'd have to find new Dragon Balls."
Piccolo's pupils shrank.
"You know?!"
"Of course. You and Kami are one being. If you die, Kami dies."
Krillin lightly patted his head.
"So thank your other half. Otherwise, you'd be gone without even leaving dust."
Piccolo trembled with humiliation.
He survived… only because killing him would cause inconvenience.
That truth hurt more than death.
"If you want to beat me," Krillin said calmly, standing up, "train a few hundred more years. Right now, you're too weak."
Piccolo forced himself up, staring at Krillin.
Then at Mr. Shen in the distance.
He had lost.
Completely.
"Krillin… Goku… I'll return! Next time, I won't lose!"
He rose unsteadily into the air and fled.
No one chased him.
Everyone was still staring at the clear hole in the sky.
"The winner… is Krillin!!"
The announcer finally shouted.
Cheers erupted like a tidal wave.
System notifications followed.
[Mission Complete: Defeat Piccolo.]
[Evaluation: Perfect.]
[Reward: Namekian Regeneration Physique (Elementary).]
[Effect: Limb regeneration if brain core intact. Stamina recovery +30%.]
[Charm +2.]
[Reputation: Earth's Strongest (Provisional).]
Krillin clenched his fist, feeling vitality surge within him.
Hard to die now.
He glanced toward the contestant area.
Goku stood there grinning.
"Your turn next."
