Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1716 Fierce Battle

"Damn it! Bastard!!"

Cellbuu let out a sharp roar, his voice trembling with extreme rage.

His sense of superiority after the fusion was completely shattered by this punch, replaced by an unprecedented sense of humiliation and a trace of... terror!
This Saiyan not only possesses unpredictable speed, but also incredibly fierce attack methods, carrying a targeted destructive characteristic that even threatens Saiyan's prized regenerative abilities.

Son Gohan hovered in mid-air, his golden aura still burning steadily, his expression stern.

He wasn't too surprised. Although his combo attack hadn't been entirely successful, it proved that his speed and explosive power could indeed suppress his opponent, and also confirmed that his opponent possessed an extremely troublesome regenerative ability.

"It wasn't that simple after all..."

Gohan pondered to himself.

“Majin Buu’s infinite stamina and energy are his greatest strengths. Conventional wars of attrition are meaningless; even if he is severely injured countless times, he can recover quickly. We must find an opportunity to annihilate him completely in one blow.”

Cellbuu stared intently at Gohan, his greed replaced by a deeper fear and murderous intent.

His aura began to become more unstable, with pink mist and green electric arcs intertwining, clearly indicating that he was now fully mobilizing his energy and no longer had any playful attitude.

"You...you've really angered me!"

Cellbuu roared in a deep voice, spreading his arms wide. Countless pink energy orbs appeared out of thin air like a rainstorm, densely covering the entire sky.

"Become cosmic dust!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a torrential downpour of energy blasts had already covered all of Gohan's possible space to dodge.

Gohan's eyes sharpened, and his golden figure moved again. He no longer chose to confront head-on, but instead darted and dodged through the dense rain of energy bullets, looking for the next opportunity to unleash a close-range attack.

The energy blast grazed past him, landing on the ground some distance away and triggering a series of deafening explosions, sending flames soaring into the sky and billowing smoke.

"Is all you can do is hide like a mouse?!"

Seeing that his ranged attacks were ineffective, Cellbuo couldn't help but taunt him.

However, the moment he began to speak, his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot in the next instant!

Almost at the same moment, Gohan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
His combat instincts, honed through countless trials and tribulations, transcended common sense, allowing him to react instinctively without even thinking. He suddenly exerted force in his waist, twisting his body forcefully in mid-air, and delivered an elbow strike infused with immense power, like a cannonball fired from a gun, slamming backward!

"Bang——!!!"

A deafeningly loud bang exploded!

Their elbows collided violently without any fancy moves!
At the point of contact, a ring-shaped shock wave, visible to the naked eye and solid as a physical object, suddenly spread out, like an invisible giant wheel rolling across the sky, instantly turning the already dilapidated cliffs in the distance into dust and turning them into a sky full of dust!

"Not bad reaction,"

Cellbuu's face twisted into a ferocious grin, yet that grin was filled with chilling killing intent.

“But… you’re still too green!” Just as he spoke, his other arm suddenly and silently extended like boneless clay in a way that completely defied physiological structure—this was the strange and unpredictable physical characteristic of Majin Buu—that twisted and deformed hand, with sharp fingers like knives, aimed straight for Gohan’s unsuspecting back!

This sudden change of tactics was insidious and cunning, and its speed was beyond imagination!

However, Gohan remained calm in the face of danger!

His free left hand moved with lightning speed, as if he had anticipated the strange attack. He intercepted the strange arm that was thrusting towards him with perfect precision, his five fingers gripping it tightly like steel pincers!
At the same time, a small, highly compressed energy wave, bursting with dazzling light, instantly condensed in the palm of his right hand!

"At zero distance... Eat it!"

Gohan let out a cold shout and thrust his right palm forward!
"Boom——!!!"

The energy wave suddenly erupted almost right next to Cell Buu's chest!
The enormous explosive energy engulfed his entire upper body, and the violent impact sent him flying backward like a kite with a broken string. A huge hole, large enough for a person to pass through, appeared in his chest!
But then, a truly despairing scene unfolded.

In the blink of an eye, before the flames of the explosion had even completely dissipated, Cellbuu's flying figure had already stabilized.

At the edge of the terrifyingly huge hole in his chest, pink fleshy buds seemed to have a life of their own, wriggling, intertwining, and spreading wildly, rapidly filling and repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye... In the blink of an eye, the fatal wound that could have killed any strong person instantly had healed completely, without even leaving a scar!

"It's useless! It's useless! Hahahaha!"

Cellbuu spread his arms wide and let out a maniacal and triumphant laugh, his voice filled with nauseating mockery.

"Do you see that? This is perfection! This is immortality! Any attack you launch is nothing but a futile struggle against me!"

Without another word, the two transformed into two intertwined streaks of light and fiercely engaged in battle!
Golden flames clashed wildly in the air with a strange energy that intertwined with pink and green, fists, feet, elbows, knees... every part of the body became the most deadly weapon.

Their speed was beyond the limits of the naked eye; all that could be seen were two blurry figures colliding and separating in the air. Each intense contact produced a thunderous roar and waves of energy that spread outwards with devastating force.

The earth groaned beneath their feet, and the sky changed color because of their battle.

With his superior speed, calm judgment, and exquisite fighting skills, Gohan maintained a slight advantage in close combat.

His fists repeatedly broke through Cellbuo's defenses, slamming heavily into his body, shattering and cracking his arms, head, and even half of his body multiple times.

However, Cellbuo's abnormal regenerative ability became his strongest shield.

No matter how severe the injury, even if only one cell remains, it can recover to its original state in an instant, and its aura does not weaken in the slightest, as if it truly possesses inexhaustible physical strength and energy.

This battle seems to be sliding into a quagmire that is extremely disadvantageous to Gohan and endlessly draining his resources.

'This can't go on any longer!'

Gohan's mind raced.

'We must break the deadlock and create a decisive window using a move that he cannot instantly regenerate!'

Opportunity can appear in the blink of an eye!
