Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1659 Son Gohan's Outburst

"Vegeta...Vegeta...Let's...Let's retreat!"

A hoarse, trembling voice came from the edge of the battlefield.

Naba's massive body collapsed onto the cracked rocky ground, his breastplate completely shattered, revealing charred skin.

His once arrogant face was now filled with fear, his only remaining eye fixed on the ever-expanding golden flame in the distance, his pupil contracting violently.

As a battle-hardened elite warrior, he understood better than anyone what that sudden burst of energy meant—a terrifying force beyond comprehension, capable of turning the tide of battle.

"Shut up! That bastard!"

Vegeta's roar was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

The Saiyan prince struggled to maintain his standing position, the excruciating pain from his severed tail pounding against his nerves like a tidal wave.

Blood dripped continuously from his combat uniform, spreading dark marks on the scorched earth.

But even more intense than the physical pain was the burning humiliation—he, Prince Vegeta, had been driven to such a state by a low-ranking warrior, and even had his tail, a symbol of honor, cut off!
His gaze was fixed intently on what lay ahead.

Sun Wukong had lost consciousness and collapsed beside a young figure.

That half-blood kid... that Saiyan bastard who was considered an ant just minutes ago!
"You wretched wild monkey...how dare you...how dare you humiliate me like this!!"

Vegeta's roar was a mixture of pain and rage, and his bloodshot eyes were almost dripping blood.

His reason was completely consumed by burning pride. He ignored the chaotic energy flow within his body and desperately gathered his last bit of strength.

He pushed his palms forward with force, and blue-white energy began to gather wildly.

Although this energy ball was far less destructive than when Vegeta was in his Great Ape form, it contained all of Vegeta's remaining power—enough to obliterate any unsuspecting enemy before him!
"go to hell!"

Vegeta roared, and an energy wave tore through the atmosphere, heading straight for its target.

At this critical moment, Son Gohan suddenly looked up.

The fear of witnessing his father's critical injury, the anger of seeing the enemy taking advantage of his vulnerability, and the innate protective will deep within his heart—all these emotions erupted at this moment, transforming into a torch that ignited his potential.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Golden flames erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

Countless tiny electric snakes danced wildly in the flames, emitting a chilling crackling sound.

Son Gohan's black hair stood on end, his eyes flashed with golden light, and the energy fluctuations emanating from his body caused the entire battlefield to tremble violently.

At this moment, the combat power value lost its meaning—if the previous 2040 points were already beyond reason, then the current energy expansion completely overturned cognition.

His aura surged exponentially, instantly breaking through the thousands mark and stabilizing at 4000 points, a level comparable to Naba's peak!
But this is just the beginning.

"I will never... let you hurt anyone!"

Son Gohan shouts.

The powerful will to protect loved ones overcame fear and hesitation, propelling the awakening power within him to new heights.

He instinctively compressed, condensed, and then unleashed this violent energy, achieving a feat far surpassing any training result.

"Turbocharged punch...five times!!"

An even more terrifying surge of energy erupted, and the golden flames suddenly became more solid and intense.

The ground beneath Son Gohan's feet could not withstand this force, and it shattered and sank layer by layer around him, forming a spiderweb-like pit tens of meters in diameter.

The flying sand and stones were repelled by the energy field, forming a clear spherical field.

战斗力指数再次疯狂跃升——5000、8000、12000、18000——最终稳定在惊人的20000点！
This number even surpasses Vegeta's peak strength of 18000 points, not to mention that the heavily injured Vegeta at this moment cannot unleash his full power.

Just as the energy wave was about to hit its target, Son Gohan moved.

Time seemed to be stretched and compressed. A golden light ripped through space, intercepting the energy wave's trajectory even though it arrived later.

There were no complicated techniques, no fancy moves, only a fist wrapped in blazing golden light, carrying pure anger and a desire to protect, that slammed straight into the destructive energy ball!

"boom--!"

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

The blue-white energy ball was forcibly shattered and torn apart, turning into countless streams of light that scattered in all directions.

The shockwave from the explosion swept away all the debris in the area, and even the rock surfaces several kilometers away showed fine cracks.

As the golden light faded, Son Gohan hovered in mid-air, the electric arcs surrounding him becoming even denser.

His gaze was fixed on Vegeta, and the timidity of the past was no longer visible in his golden eyes, only a cold determination remained.

"go to hell!"

With that roar, Gohan's figure blurred once more.

This isn't teleportation; it's pure speed—speed to the extreme!

Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply.

His fighting instincts made him raise his arm to try to block, but his badly injured body was no match for his opponent's speed.

The next second, a heavy punch landed squarely on his face.

"Oh!"

The heavy, muffled thud made one's teeth ache. Vegeta's cheek instantly contorted, and blood and saliva spurted from his mouth.

He was knocked off the ground and flew into the air, spinning uncontrollably backward.

The Saiyan prince, the proudest warrior of Planet Vegeta, was sent flying by a single punch from a young half-Saiyan!
At this moment, the fighting spirit of adult Son Gohan was fully awakened.

Unlike his indecisive self as a child, he now knows clearly when to be kind and when to be decisive.

Once the will to kill is made, it will be carried out with absolute rationality.

With another flash of golden light, Gohan caught up with Vegeta, who was flying backwards, even though he had arrived first.

With his hands clasped together and raised high above his head, a hammer blow imbued with golden flames slammed down on Vegeta's abdomen!
"Oh!"

"Wow--!"

Vegeta suddenly arched his back, his eyeballs bulging out of the way from the excruciating pain.

A large mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, forming a blood mist in the air.

The blow nearly broke his spine, completely destroying his last chance to adjust his posture.

The body fell uncontrollably downwards, but the nightmare was not over yet.

Son Gohan plummeted downwards at an even faster speed, landing first with his legs slightly bent, and the ground beneath his feet cracked once more.

The next second, he shot into the sky like a cannonball, his right knee forward, gathering energy compressed to the extreme, and slammed into Vegeta who was falling from below!

"Boom!!!"

The heavy impact sent chills down my spine.

This upward knee strike landed precisely on Vegeta's abdomen, seemingly about to shatter all his internal organs.

Vegeta's body paused eerily in mid-air for a moment, then rebounded upwards at an even faster speed, the blood spurting from his mouth glaringly bright in the sunlight.
