Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1657 Tenfold Turbocharged Fist!

The molten lava churned endlessly at the bottom of the pit, its dark red light illuminating the entire battlefield like a living hell. The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and scorched earth, and the scorching heat distorted vision, making every breath a burning, stinging sensation.

The giant ape Vegeta let out a deafening roar, the sound waves almost tearing the sky apart.

Its massive, scarlet eyes burned with furious flames, clearly indicating its extreme dissatisfaction that its previous attack had failed to eliminate the "insect" before it.

It raised its mountain-like arm once more, its muscles bulging and veins protruding like writhing dragons, before slamming it down hard on the ground!

"boom--!!"

This impact was far greater than before; the ground shattered like a fragile biscuit, with huge cracks spreading wildly from the point of impact.

Debris and dust shot into the sky, forming a haze that obscured visibility, and from within that haze, even stronger tremors continued to emanate, as if the earth was groaning in pain.

Sun Wukong hovered in mid-air, breathing heavily.

His martial arts uniform was already tattered, and the sweat that seeped out of his skin was instantly evaporated by the high temperature surrounding him.

His breathing became erratic, and his physical strength was being depleted far beyond expectations, but his eyes remained sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the raging giant ape.

"The difference in strength is too great..."

Sun Wukong was calculating rapidly in his mind.

"The total energy levels are simply not on the same level; a head-on confrontation will only lead to certain death!"

His gaze was like lightning, quickly sweeping over Vegeta's massive body, finally settling on the thick, ancient tree-like tail covered in stiff fur.

At the same time, he also caught a glimpse of the artificial moon high in the sky, still emitting bultz waves.

"The tail and the false moon... one of them must be destroyed!"

This is the only chance.

If Vegeta were to remain in Great Ape form, with his almost inexhaustible stamina and destructive power, he wouldn't last even ten minutes!
However, just as Sun Wukong was thinking, the Great Ape Vegeta seemed to have sensed his intentions.

Vegeta, who was born into royalty, still retained his rationality even after transforming into a Great Ape, and his fighting instincts far surpassed those of ordinary Saiyans.

It suddenly became more frenzied, and its attack frequency increased dramatically!

The enormous hand slammed down like a collapsing mountain, each swing creating a hurricane.

Even more terrifying, it began indiscriminately spewing out devastating energy blasts. These highly compressed energy balls crashed to the ground like meteorites, triggering a series of deafening explosions.

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and pushed his speed to the limit.

He transformed into a streak of blue lightning, weaving and dodging through the gaps in the dense attacks.

The energy blast grazed past his aura, the scorching shockwave almost setting his hair ablaze.

Every dodge was a split second, the violent air currents and explosive impacts constantly disrupting his balance, making him like a small boat in a storm.

Opportunities are fleeting!
After a thrilling dodge, Goku finally seized the brief opening when Vegeta retracted his arm.

His body suddenly sank, and he rushed towards the huge, constantly swinging tail like an arrow released from a bow!

"It's now!"

Sun Wukong roared, his right hand forming a knife-like shape with his fingers together. A highly condensed blue energy blade extended from his palm, emitting a sharp sound like the chirping of a thousand birds.

He concentrated all his energy into one point and slashed down hard at the base of the tail!

"Keng!!!"

A piercing metallic clang rang out!
Sun Wukong's palm strike was as if it had struck vibranium alloy, and was actually deflected!

The force of the shock traveled up his arm, causing his blood and qi to surge.

Upon closer inspection, only a faint white slash mark remained on the tail; the skin wasn't even completely broken! "How is this possible?!"

Sun Wukong was horrified.

He never expected that the defensive power of the giant ape would be so terrifying!

This is no longer in the realm of living organisms; it's more like a mobile fortress!

Just as he paused slightly due to the obstruction of his attack, the giant ape's incredibly agile tail lashed out as if it had been anticipated!
The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, and its speed even exceeded Sun Wukong's reaction limit!
"Snapped!"

Sun Wukong only had time to cross his arms to protect himself before he was sent flying backward as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train.

He instantly lost feeling in both arms, and excruciating pain surged through him like a tidal wave; he could even hear the groans emanating from his own bones.

"Roar!!!"

The giant ape Vegeta let out a triumphant roar and pressed his advantage.

It raised its mountain-like foot, with the power to crush everything, and stomped down hard on Sun Wukong, who had not yet regained his footing!

The shadow instantly enveloped Sun Wukong, and the threat of death sent a shiver down his spine as if doused with ice water.

In that critical moment, a resolute glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Cannot be kept!

We must risk everything!
"Ten times—Turbocharged punch!!!"

He let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if the air within his body was being frantically compressed by an invisible hand.

This is not a technique like Kaioken that relies on overdrawing the body to gain power, but rather a unique skill developed by combining principles of physics.

By simulating the working principle of a turbocharged engine, air is rapidly compressed, circulated, and then compressed again within the body, resulting in a geometric increase in the energy output per unit time!

Although the load is still enormous, the damage to the body is far less than that of Kaioken.

At that moment, Sun Wukong felt as if his body had transformed into a high-speed engine.

The internal organs were being pulled violently by the powerful internal pressure, the blood felt as heavy as mercury, and every muscle fiber was screaming in protest.

But his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

The combat power reading skyrocketed—2000, 5000, 10000… finally settling at 20000!

Furthermore, because the density and mass of the gas are compressed to more than ten times, the actual energy effect produced far exceeds the surface value!
"Nani?!"

The giant ape Vegeta's crimson pupils suddenly contracted.

As a member of the Saiyan royal family, he maintained a clear mind even after transforming into a Great Ape.

At this moment, he clearly sensed the surge of Sun Wukong's energy, and the highly compressed energy even made him feel a sense of instinctive danger.

But pride soon overwhelmed vigilance.

"A mere 20,000 combat power! Compared to my 180,000 combat power, it's nothing but a firefly!"

Vegeta roared inwardly, his Great Ape form transforming his voice into a deafening roar.

He stomped his foot even harder, as if he wanted to crush Sun Wukong and the earth together into the abyss!
However, the next moment, Sun Wukong moved.

Enveloped in blue flames, he was like a shooting star shooting backwards. Instead of dodging, he actively faced the colossal foot that blotted out the sky!
"Turbocharged Shockwave!!!"

The highly compressed air in the palm of the hand is transformed into a beam of blazing energy, no longer the usual gold, but a deep blue that is almost white!
