"Gohan's energy right now… is absolutely terrifying!"
Piccolo sensed Gohan's aura and couldn't hide his shock.
The child he had once guided had grown to such a level without him even realizing it. For a moment, Piccolo didn't even know what to say.
"Kakarot's son…"
Vegeta gritted his teeth, his face dark and unwilling.
Not only could he not surpass Goku—even Goku's son had now surpassed him.
How could someone as proud as Vegeta accept that?
Meanwhile, Zeru observed Gohan closely.
At this moment, Gohan's aura had completely changed. It was no longer the flame-like energy of Super Saiyan 1—it had become more explosive, like a surging jet of power.
His hair stood even sharper, and lightning crackled around his body.
Seeing this, Zeru smiled faintly.
Gohan's Super Saiyan 2—
Had fully taken shape.
He checked Gohan's Power level.
90 billion.
Cell: 75 billion.
Gohan: 90 billion.
The outcome?
Obvious.
And more importantly—
Gohan was in a state of pure rage. His eyes were locked onto Cell, killing intent overflowing.
In this condition, even 90 billion might not reflect his true peak.
"HAH!"
Gohan roared.
Lightning burst across the battlefield as his aura surged violently, shocking everyone present.
This power—
It was enough to destroy the world.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound cut through the air.
In an instant, Gohan appeared in front of Cell.
His fist drove forward.
Bang!
It struck Cell squarely in the abdomen.
"AAAGH!"
The sheer force of a 90 billion Power level punch made Cell spit out a mouthful of blood.
Then—
Gohan followed up with an energy blast.
For the first time—
Fear appeared on Cell's face.
Boom!
The blast pierced through his abdomen, sending him flying.
"I'll kill you… for Android 16!"
Gohan's voice trembled with rage.
If Goku had truly died earlier—
Gohan was certain he could have killed Cell instantly.
Whoosh!
Gohan moved again.
Too fast to follow.
In less than a fraction of a second, he crossed hundreds of meters.
Bang!
A brutal uppercut smashed into Cell's nose.
Crack!
Bone shattered.
Blood sprayed.
"That was for 16!"
Gohan roared.
Then—
A spinning kick.
Boom!
It slammed into Cell's face.
Followed by—
A right hook to the jaw.
Crack!
Not only was his jaw dislocated—
Every tooth in his mouth shattered.
Gohan's hatred—
Was absolute.
"This ends now! You killed Android 16… so I'll kill you!"
Gohan shot into the sky.
He cupped his hands.
A brilliant blue sphere of energy began forming.
"No…!"
Cell trembled, unwilling.
"Kame…"
"Ha…"
"ME—"
"HA!!!"
BOOM!!!
A blinding blue beam erupted from Gohan's hands, engulfing Cell completely.
The earth below shattered under the force.
Dust, debris, and smoke filled the battlefield.
"Is… is he dead?"
Krillin leaned forward, tense.
This time—
No one dared celebrate too early.
"…Probably…?"
Even Piccolo wasn't certain.
"Cell isn't that easy to kill…"
Zeru stepped forward, entering the explosion zone.
He reached out—
And grabbed something.
A tiny, green core cell.
In an instant, he returned.
Everyone's eyes locked onto his hand.
"What is that?" Krillin asked.
"This is Cell's core cell. To truly kill him, this must be destroyed. Otherwise, he can regenerate again."
Zeru smiled.
Then—
A purple-gray flame appeared in his hand.
His Erasure Ability.
In an instant—
The core cell was completely annihilated.
"Phew…"
"Cell is finally dead!"
Relief swept through the battlefield.
Gohan, seeing this, finally relaxed.
His body gave out—
And he collapsed.
"Gohan!"
Piccolo rushed forward, catching him.
"It's nothing serious."
Zeru took out several bottles.
"These are Super Senzu Beans. Far more effective than regular ones. Give them to everyone."
For others, such items were priceless treasures.
For Zeru—
They were abundant.
At least tens of thousands sat in his inventory.

At that moment, a notification echoed in Zeru's mind.
