Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1638 A Different Sun Wukong

Raditz stared at Goku in disbelief. The numbers displayed on the detector confused him even more—Goku's power level was only 416, Gohan's was 412, and Goten's was only 85.

How could someone with such strength possibly protect the Earth from those five generals?

"You've been assimilated by Earthlings, Kakarot."

Raditz finally came to a conclusion, his tone tinged with disappointment and contempt.

"You have betrayed the honor of the Saiyans."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly: "I'm not called Kakarot, I'm Sun Wukong. If you've come to Earth to harm the people here, then I have to stop you."

Raditz sneered, "With your meager strength? I just encountered five Earth warriors with combat power exceeding 1,000, and you couldn't even defeat them. You think you can stop me?"

Son Gohan adjusted his glasses and calmly replied, "Power level numbers don't represent everything."

Raditz felt a sense of absurdity, even a bit of amusement and disbelief.

He traveled countless light-years, traversed the vast universe, and followed his brother Kakarot's landing coordinates to Earth. But he never expected that Kakarot would not only be alive, but also become the guardian of Earth, and even... start a family?

This is a complete betrayal of the Saiyan creed.

Fighting, conquering, destroying—that is their innate mission.

The Kakarot before them wore a strange orange martial arts uniform typical of Earthlings, and his eyes held none of the ferocity a Saiyan should have; instead, they exuded an inexplicable calmness.

"It seems I need to give you a new understanding of what Saiyan honor truly means, Kakarot."

Raditz's voice was deep and dangerous as he slowly ascended into the air, his silver-gray combat suit gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

He deliberately released a small portion of his energy, and the shockwave rolled outwards from him. The ground groaned under the strain, and fine cracks spread like a spider web. Countless pebbles broke free from the constraints of gravity and hovered in mid-air, humming and vibrating.

“I’ll wake you up and then take you away from this ridiculous planet.”

Sun Wukong sighed softly and turned to his two nervous sons, saying, "Step back a bit, Gohan, Goten. It seems this battle is inevitable."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

The number "416" was clearly displayed on Raditz's detector, which he completely disregarded.

With a mere 400 combat power, it wasn't even a fraction of his strength; he even felt that using his true power would be a waste.

The moment he finished speaking, Raditz's figure vanished from the air, not by speed, but by pure explosive power that created the teleportation effect!
The next moment, he appeared behind Sun Wukong like a ghost, tearing through the air with a hand chop with a sharp whistling sound, mercilessly slashing towards the back of Sun Wukong's neck.

This strike was faster than the naked eye could perceive, enough to easily cleave through alloy.

However, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Sun Wukong did not block at the critical moment. Instead, his body sank slightly downwards like a willow catkin, while his right leg swept out like a whip, accurately attacking Raditz's ankle, which was his fulcrum.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Raditz's eyes. He nimbly leaped backward to avoid the attack, landing several meters away.

He dropped some of his teasing and looked at his seemingly weak younger brother again. "How did you do that? Your movements... don't seem like someone with only 400 combat power at all."

Sun Wukong slowly assumed his unique starting stance, his aura deep and focused, and smiled slightly: "There is something on Earth called 'martial arts.' It's not simply about pursuing strength, but about technique, timing, and the application of 'qi'."

"Ridiculous! In the face of absolute power, skill is nothing but acrobatics!"

Raditz roared, enraged by this "weak" theory.

He no longer held back, unleashing his immense inner energy, which manifested as pale white flames around him.

boom!
The ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and he transformed into a blurry afterimage, moving around Sun Wukong at a speed far exceeding his previous speed. The hurricane he created made it almost impossible for Gohan and Goten in the distance to open their eyes.

The fists rained down like a storm, each strike containing the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks. The air was repeatedly shattered, producing a series of muffled thuds.

Sun Wukong was instantly engulfed by this ferocious attack.

He was clearly at a disadvantage, lacking both speed and strength, and could only maneuver and dodge to the limit in a confined space.

His movements were exceptionally fluid, like flowing water. Sometimes he would use a soft touch to deflect Raditz's wrist, subtly redirecting Raditz's powerful punches and causing Raditz's attacks to miss their mark, leaving deep craters on the ground. At other times, he would use the heel of his palm or elbow to deliver short, precise interceptions from incredible angles, skillfully neutralizing fatal attacks.

He didn't confront it head-on, but rather acted like a master facilitator, directing Raditz's surging power in all directions, bearing far less pressure himself than it appeared on the surface.

"All you can do is dodge like a mouse, Kakarot?!"

Unable to gain the upper hand after a prolonged attack, Raditz felt humiliated and suddenly leaped backward to create distance, clasping his hands together in front of his chest!

A blinding light gathered in his palm, and the highly compressed energy emitted a heart-palpitating buzzing sound, rapidly expanding into a huge energy ball. The destructive energy contained within made the two children, far outside the battle circle, feel their scalps tingle.

"Take this move! Let's see where you can hide now!"

The energy ball was launched with a vengeance, like a miniature sun falling, shooting towards Sun Wukong at an astonishing speed. The violent energy flow completely blocked all possible angles for dodging.

Sun Wukong's expression was solemn, but he showed no sign of panic.

He planted his feet firmly on the ground, took a deep breath, and instead of retreating, moved his arms forward to meet the destructive energy ball.

The instant they made contact, his hands traced a smooth, circular path at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. It wasn't a direct hit, but rather a mysterious force that enveloped, guided, and rotated the energy ball!

"Anti-Ki Gong Wave!"

He let out a low shout, and his body's energy circulated in an unprecedented way.

The energy ball that was supposed to destroy everything was actually controlled by his hands, forcibly changing its trajectory. As his body spun, it drew a perfect semicircle, and then was suddenly pushed back with a faster speed and stronger rotation!
"Nani?!!"

Raditz's pupils suddenly contracted, utterly shocked.

He even forgot to dodge, relying entirely on his fighting instincts to tumble sideways at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the glint of death.

Rumble——! ! !
The rebounded energy ball grazed Raditz's body and eventually crashed into the main peak of Baozi Mountain in the distance.
