Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1707 Super Saiyan 2!

"Is this... the feeling of completeness?"

Cell looked down at his hands, feeling the unprecedented energy flowing through his body.

Sun Wukong's expression was solemn; he could clearly sense that Cell's aura had undergone a qualitative change.

If Cell was a ferocious beast before, he is now a true warrior, possessing both strength and wisdom.

"Oh no……"

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, assuming a fighting stance.

But the next second, Cell was already in front of him.

Before Sun Wukong could even react, a heavy punch had already slammed into his abdomen.

A sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body. Sun Wukong coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Cell laughed loudly, walked slowly to the edge of the pit, and stepped on Goku's chest.

"How about it, Sun Wukong? Can you still use those strange moves now?"

Sun Wukong struggled to get up, but Cell's foot pressed down on him like a mountain, making it impossible for him to move. He gritted his teeth, trying to gather his energy, but the energy within his body became chaotic under Cell's suppression.

"Father……"

A faint sound came from not far away.

Son Gohan struggled to his feet from the ruins; his previous injuries were so severe that every movement brought excruciating pain.

But he couldn't just stand by and watch his father be killed.

"Cell... let go of my dad!"

Son Gohan's hands trembled as he conjured an energy ball, even though he knew it was likely useless.

Cell glanced coldly at Gohan, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"Ah, I almost forgot about you, Son Gohan."

Cell casually raised one hand, and a small ball of energy gathered at his fingertips.

"You almost killed me before, remember?"

Sun Wukong's pupils contracted sharply; he knew all too well what Cell's expression at that moment meant.

"No! Gohan, run—!"

Too late.

Cell's energy ball expanded instantly, transforming into a beam of light that shot towards Gohan at an unavoidable speed.

Wherever the beam of light passed, space seemed to be distorted and deformed, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of ionized ozone.

"Gohan!"

Amidst Goku's roar, the beam of light completely engulfed Gohan's figure.

There was no explosion, no smoke, only a chilling, faint sound, as if matter were being completely decomposed.

When the beam of light dissipated, the spot where Son Gohan had stood was completely empty, without even a speck of dust remaining.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Sun Wukong stared blankly at the spot where his son had disappeared, his mind refusing to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.

His Gohan, the Gohan who always carried books, the Gohan who was so kind that he didn't want to hurt any life, the son on whom he placed so much hope, just like that... gone?
A sudden, intense ringing in his ears struck, and the world turned blood red in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Why can't he always protect the people he cares about? Why do his enemies always try to hurt everything he cares about?
An unprecedented emotion welled up from the deepest part of my heart—not anger, not sadness, but a cold, absolute desire for destruction.

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

Sun Wukong's roar shook the heavens and the earth, and golden flames erupted from his body. It was no longer the warm and bright gold of the past, but a cold and dazzling light mixed with silvery white.

The earth shattered beneath his feet, rocks defied gravity and floated up, and crackling energy sparks in the air tinged the clouds with eerie colors.

Cell was forced to take a step back by this sudden aura, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"This...this is..."

Sun Wukong's body floated slightly in the air, his golden hair stood up even more, crackling with silver-white lightning. His eyebrows became even sharper.

What surrounded him was no longer ordinary flames, but an energy cloak that had condensed into a solid form, with lightning-like patterns constantly flowing and flashing on its surface.

"This is... Super Saiyan 2..."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep and cold, devoid of any emotion.

In this timeline, Sun Wukong's physical strength and accumulated energy had already reached a critical point; he simply lacked an opportunity to break through that barrier, a stimulus powerful enough to tear his soul apart.

Gohan's death was the final straw, breaking the shackles in his heart and unleashing the sleeping beast.

"Finally, I can fight Majin Buu."

After seeing Sun Wukong transform into Super Saiyan 2, Luther was overjoyed that his accelerated maturation had finally succeeded.

The initial Fat Buu was able to fight even Majin Vegeta, although Vegeta couldn't win because of his immortality.

I wonder if the current Goku is comparable to Majin Vegeta.

"Die."

The declaration was chillingly concise.

Transforming into Super Saiyan 2 brings not only a leap in power, but also an amplified version of the Saiyan bloodline's inherent belligerence and berserk instincts.

At this moment, Goku had only one thought in his mind—to destroy Cell!
His attacks no longer involved the usual probing and methodical approaches; they were now nothing but the most direct and ferocious assaults!
Sun Wukong's figure blurred for a moment.

It's not instantaneous teleportation, but pure speed that breaks through the limits of visual perception.

When he reappeared, his fist was already imprinted on Cell's crossed arms.

The shockwave generated by the impact spread out in a spherical shape, tearing up entire sections of the earth's crust wherever it passed.

The rock strata beneath their feet instantly sank dozens of meters, forming a perfect circular basin.

Lightning-shaped turbulent energy flows through the air, evaporating scattered debris into plasma.

Cell's punch still had the upper hand. He was now much stronger than in the original timeline. The assimilation of Piccolo and Piccolo brought him at least tens or even hundreds of times the power, not to mention that he had just absorbed Android 17 and gained even more power.

Even if Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 2, he is no match for Cell.

"How did your strength increase so much all of a sudden?"

Cell was quite surprised. He was very sensitive to energy and numerical values ​​and guessed that Goku's power had increased at least several times compared to the Super Saiyan at full power just now.

How can this be?

How could a living organism improve so much all of a sudden, apart from itself?
Goku unleashed a barrage of punches, giving Cell the upper hand. However, Cell was more accustomed to overwhelming attacks, and he became increasingly annoyed by Goku's fighting style.

After a fierce battle, Goku's reckless fighting style successfully left Cell with numerous wounds on his body.

But none of that mattered to Cell.

Cell appeared behind Goku in the blink of an eye. Goku noticed and quickly turned around, but Cell's target was not him.
