Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1643 The Powerful Raditz
boom--! ! !
The blazing torrent of energy barely grazed the soles of his shoes, instantly obliterating the spot where he had been standing and the vast forest behind him, leaving only a scorching ravine several kilometers long and bottomless, in which lava hissed.

"Oh? You dodged pretty quickly, Kakarot!"

Raditz missed his attack and grinned even more menacingly.

"It seems this low-level planet isn't all trash; at least it taught you how to hop around like an insect!"

He shook his hands, feeling the surging new power within his body; the sense of superiority brought by that absolute power intoxicated him.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill Sun Wukong immediately. He wanted to toy with him slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse, and fully enjoy the thrill of crushing him to wash away the previous humiliation.

Sun Wukong landed on a charred rock, his face extremely solemn and his breathing slightly rapid.

That dodge just now used all my strength; the opponent's speed and power have increased too much!
"Raditz, stop! Earth is not a place for you!"

Sun Wukong tried to make a final attempt to persuade him, even though he knew the chances were slim.

"stop?"

Raditz seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Once I've torn off your limbs, crushed the head of that bastard that shouldn't exist, and wiped this mountain off the map, I'll naturally 'stop'!"

Before he could finish speaking, his figure suddenly blurred!
So fast!

Sun Wukong's pupils contracted again, and his arms instinctively crossed in front of his chest to block.

boom!
A loud bang that was extremely dull!
Raditz's fists landed squarely on his arms.

A terrifying force surged forth like a tidal wave. Sun Wukong felt as if he had been struck head-on by a meteorite. His arms, which he used to block, felt an excruciating pain as if his bones were about to shatter. He was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing into several huge rock walls and sending dust billowing into the sky.

"Father!"

From afar, Son Gohan let out a heart-wrenching scream, his intense fear and anger causing his ki to fluctuate wildly and uncontrollably.

"Hmph, you noisy brat, I'll start with you!"

Raditz glanced at Gohan with disgust, then casually raised his hand, and dangerous rays of light once again gathered at his fingertips.

"Your opponent is me!"

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the billowing smoke and dust, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, carrying an unwavering and unquestionable will.

boom--!
The next moment, the dazzling golden flames exploded and spread out, forming a ring-shaped shockwave that instantly dispersed the thick smoke and dust.

Sun Wukong's figure slowly rose from the pit. His orange martial arts uniform was tattered, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the attack had caused him considerable damage.

However, the fighting spirit burning in his piercing eyes grew even more intense, as if a wounded beast had been aroused to a greater degree of ferocity.

His arms trembled slightly, his muscles still remembering the shock of the devastating impact, but his breathing remained remarkably steady.

In the final moments before Raditz's fatal blow, he compressed all the energy in his body to its limit using a spiral-intensified method, condensing it on his arms to form an unprecedented defensive barrier, which barely managed to withstand the deadly attack.

"Oh? You can actually stand up?"

Raditz raised an eyebrow, a hint of genuine surprise flashing across his face, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper mockery.

"Looks like you're more resilient than I thought, perfect!"

He completely abandoned his attack on the trembling Sun Wukong in the distance, and refocused all his attention on him. He enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game of knocking down his opponent and then watching him struggle to get back up; this sense of dominance intoxicated him.

Behind a rocky outcrop hundreds of meters away, Piccolo and Piper, who were hiding their presence and watching the battle, were already horrified, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"That was too fast... Did you see that attack clearly just now?"

The Flute Demon Child's voice was so dry it was almost cracking; he had never imagined that combat could reach this level of speed.

Bick's green face was tense, and his eyes flashed with a complex light: "Barely... I managed to keep up with the trajectory a little."

He had to admit that the sheer speed and power Raditz displayed left him with a profound sense of powerlessness.

He originally thought that after years of hard work, even if he was not as good as Sun Wukong, he should not be far behind.

But now, facing this Saiyan from another planet, he finally understood what it truly meant that there are heavens beyond heavens!
It was a disheartening gap, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm.

"Sun Wukong is completely at a disadvantage; if this continues, he will be killed."

Bick calmly analyzed the battle situation, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil.

"That guy named Raditz is just playing him for fools."

"So what do we do? Join forces?"

The Piper looked at Piccolo, his eyes flashing with determination.

Although they were enemies rather than friends with Sun Wukong, their past grievances seemed insignificant in the face of a common threat from outer space.

More importantly, they knew perfectly well that if Sun Wukong were to perish, Earth would be doomed.

Bick's eyes gleamed with green light as he frantically weighed the pros and cons.

Joining forces to fight a powerful enemy was one of his potential purposes in coming here, but Raditz's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"hold on,"

Bick suppressed the urge to act immediately and whispered.

"Going out now would only make us easy targets. We must find an opportunity, a chance to strike decisively!"

Against an opponent of this caliber, ordinary attacks are meaningless; all power must be concentrated on one point.

His mind raced, and a dangerous move that required time to prepare began to brew in his mind—the Special Beam Cannon, a finishing move he had developed specifically for Sun Wukong.

In the center of the battlefield, Goku and Raditz clashed once again, launching a new round of fierce fighting.

boom! boom! boom!
The sounds of fists and feet clashing echoed like dense thunder over Baozi Mountain. Their movements were impossible to capture with the naked eye; one could only see two blurry figures constantly intersecting, colliding, and separating in the air and on the ground.

Each collision unleashed an astonishing energy shock, constantly altering the landscape of Baozi Mountain, creating giant craters out of thin air, and causing rocks to continuously crumble and shatter.

Sun Wukong pushed his Spiral Boost technique to its limit, his body enveloped in a faint red aura, his speed and power forcibly increased to an astonishing level, barely managing to keep up with Raditz's movements.

This version of Goku has never met King Kai, nor has he learned the Kaioken technique, but the "Spiral Boosting Fist" taught by Rude allows him to unleash fighting power far exceeding his usual strength in a short period of time.
