Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1717 Tricky Transfiguration Magic

Just as Cell Buu slightly lost his balance due to a fierce attack, Gohan's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
"Lightspeed punch!"

With a low roar, Son Gohan compressed and concentrated the immense energy within his body into his fists in an unprecedented way, and then unleashed countless fist shadows that surpassed the limits of visual perception!

This is not a simple rapid punch, but a combination of the burst of energy and the speed of the punch, raising the attack frequency to the critical point allowed by the laws of physics in an instant, as if countless golden beams of light were simultaneously bombarding every corner of Cellbuu's body!
This is precisely the technique that Luther borrowed from combat philosophies of other worlds, modified, and then taught to him.

The ki in the Dragon Ball world is inherently infinitely malleable and adaptable. Under Luther's development, it has shown a broad prospect and powerful force that is in no way inferior to other power systems!
"Varied……?!"

Cellbuu's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by utter astonishment!

The attack was too fast and too intense, completely exceeding the limits of his neural reaction and regenerative warning!

Before he could even make any effective block or dodge, his entire fused, gigantic body was riddled with holes like a rag doll thrown into a shredder under the barrage of countless golden beams of light, and then... exploded with a bang!
It turned into countless pink fragments and green slime, scattering everywhere!

"It's now!!!"

Son Gohan didn't hesitate at all. He knew that this brief state of physical disintegration was a fleeting and unique opportunity!

He suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the energy in his body surged, accumulated, and stored in his arms like a tsunami!
The concentration of that energy was so high that the space around him began to distort and vibrate slightly!
"Layered Storm!!!"

With a thunderous roar, Gohan's crossed arms suddenly came together to form his signature L-shape!
A torrent of light energy, not simply scorching hot, but carrying a strange decomposition and annihilation property, surged forth like a divine sword of punishment that split the heavens and the earth. It was launched with a roar and instantly enveloped most of Cellbuu's body fragments that had not yet begun to reassemble!

This is not destruction, it is decomposition!

It is the ultimate force that completely destroys and erases its basic structure at the molecular level!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!"

Amidst a strange, teeth-grinding sound and a dazzling stream of light, Cellbuu's body fragments rapidly melted and vaporized at a visible speed, as if ice and snow had met the blazing sun.

His once immense aura began to rapidly diminish, like a punctured balloon!

"Do not--!!!"

At this critical moment, from the core of the wreckage that was about to be completely annihilated, came Cellbuu's soul roar, a mixture of extreme pain and madness!

The instinct to survive overwhelmed everything!
The next moment, a huge spherical protective shield emitting a strong green light suddenly unfolded at an incredible speed—this was a life-saving technique originating from the depths of Cell's genes, a barrier ability known as absolute defense!
“Buzz——!!!”

The moment the protective shield was formed, an irresistible repulsive force field erupted from the center of the sphere!
Whether it was the continuously cascading storm of light, the surrounding spatial dust, or even Gohan himself who was right next to them, everything was violently repelled and bounced away by this tyrannical force!

Gohan grunted and his body flew backward uncontrollably for thousands of meters before he could barely regain his footing.

He gazed intently and saw a colossal green spherical shield, over a kilometer in diameter and resembling an asteroid, standing majestically between heaven and earth, radiating an indestructible energy aura. Beneath the shield, the earth had been annihilated and a bottomless crater had been carved away by the aftershocks of the previous layered storms and the repulsive force field when the shield was deployed, leaving an ugly scar on the earth.

Inside that absolute defense, through the slightly transparent barrier, one could vaguely see that the remaining Cell Buu organization, less than one-tenth of the original, was writhing wildly like living creatures, greedily absorbing the energy diffused in the space, and even the power of the barrier itself, and beginning to regenerate and reorganize at a visible speed... An even more evil and violent aura was being conceived within.

The fear of almost being completely annihilated transformed into the purest killing intent towards Son Gohan, an intent that even the waters of the Milky Way could not wash away!
"You...you deserve to die!!"

A distorted voice came from within the barrier.

"Become my snack! Become chocolate!"

Behind its head, the tentacles belonging to Majin Buu suddenly stood up, and a pink, sweet yet deadly beam of light shot out like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, ignoring the distance in space, and instantly shot towards Son Gohan!

We were prepared!

Luther's earlier warnings echoed in his mind.

Son Gohan was quick to react. He didn't choose to take the beam head-on or dodge it, because the beam seemed to have a tracking nature. Instead, he unleashed a highly compressed energy wave with lightning speed, precisely intercepting the beam's path.

An amazing scene happened!

The expected energy explosion or cancellation did not occur the instant the Qi wave came into contact with the pink light.

That highly condensed energy, enough to flatten mountains, under the pink light, changed shape drastically, its color rapidly turning dark brown, and its surface even developing a smooth texture—in the blink of an eye, it really turned into a flat "ki gong wave chocolate" with strange patterns!
pat!

The "chocolate" containing terrifying energy fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces before turning into specks of light and dissipating as if it had never existed.

"...!!!"

Son Gohan's pupils dilated slightly. Even though he had graduated from university and had been exposed to the cutting-edge theories of modern science, his heart was still filled with shock.

"Energy... was directly converted into matter? And into chocolate with a specific form and properties? This completely violates the law of conservation of mass-energy! Is it a forced modification of the rules of reality? Could it be that Buu's magic has touched upon the fundamental laws of the universe? The mass-energy conversion formula has failed in its presence?"

The clash between scientific understanding and the magical reality before him caused him to raise his assessment of the danger posed by Majin Buu.

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Cellbuu let out an angry roar and burst out of the gradually dissipating barrier to fight again.

This time, however, it was noticeably more cautious, no longer recklessly confronting others as it had initially.

Gohan's "Layered Storm" truly made it feel the threat of death!

It utilizes Cell's fighting skills and speed, combined with Buu's ability to freely transform his body, to launch bizarre and tricky attacks. Sometimes his arms transform into spears to thrust, and sometimes his body parts separate to launch self-destruct attacks. The most difficult to defend against is the pink transforming beam that shoots out from bizarre angles from time to time!
