Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1722 Release
He now had something more important to do—to turn all the life on this damned earth that he loathed into chocolate and eat it! Then, he would personally destroy this planet to vent his hatred!
With that thought in mind, Gohan Buu stopped hesitating and turned to pounce on the blue planet below.

Meanwhile, inside his strangely structured body.

After confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Gokuks quietly deactivated the protective shield he had been maintaining.

However, the moment the protective shield dissipated, an extremely strange and powerful force of rules suddenly acted on the two of them who had merged!

"Om-!"

A strong sense of rejection came without warning, as if an invisible force had forcibly inserted itself between their merged souls and bodies.

With a flash of light, before even a cry of surprise could be uttered, Gokuks' figure was split in two amidst the violent energy disturbance!
"Ugh!"

"This is……?!"

Goku and Future Trunks stumbled into this bizarre, pink space filled with slime and strange pipes, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.

"Trunks, how...how did we break apart?"

Sun Wukong steadied himself, feeling the qi circulating independently within his body again, his brows furrowed.

"It hasn't even been thirty minutes yet!"

Future Trunks cautiously observed the writhing, almost living flesh walls around him, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, Mr. Goku. But this place... inside Majin Buu's body, there seems to be some kind of strange rule or energy field that interferes with the fusion."

Sun Wukong nodded. Although the situation was unexpected, he quickly calmed down: "Forget it, there's no use thinking about it now. Anyway, we've already mastered the dance fusion, and we can combine again after we get out! The most important thing right now is to rescue the people who need to be rescued!"

Their gazes immediately turned to the depths of this strange space.

Several thick, pulsating pink fleshy pillars, like prison bars, imprisoned several clearly defined figures.

One of the flesh pillars contained the unconscious but still powerful Gohan; another contained Cell, whose form was intact and who also seemed to be in a deep sleep; and further away, there was a relatively smaller flesh pillar, inside which was none other than the once kind-hearted fat Buu!
"It's Gohan! And... Cell?! And that fat Buu!"

Future Trunks whispered.

Goku's eyes sharpened, and he quickly made a decision: "Save Gohan first! Cell and Fat Buu's situation is unknown, so don't touch them for now!"

The two exchanged a glance, and an unspoken understanding arose instantly.

Powerful energy instantly coalesced in their hands—a bright blue Kamehameha light emanated from Goku's palm, while Future Trunks unleashed a dazzling sword-shaped energy blade—aiming directly at the pink fleshy pillar that was imprisoning Gohan!

"boom--!!!"

The attack, imbued with immense energy, slammed solidly into the fleshy pillar, unleashing a dull, deafening roar.

The fleshy pillar twisted and trembled violently, and the pink tissue on the surface was quickly torn apart and carbonized, revealing Son Gohan, who was wrapped inside with his eyes closed.

However, just as Gohan's figure broke free from the flesh pillar's restraints and was pulled out by Goku—

Outside, Gohan Buu, who was preparing to attack Earth, suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning!
An indescribable feeling of weakness, as if his strength had been forcibly drained, instantly swept over his entire body.

His strong, pink body began to shrink and deform at a visible rate, his muscle lines became blurred, and his height began to decrease.

The sharpness and fierceness that originally came from incorporating Son Gohan's characteristics are rapidly fading, replaced by a strange aura that is closer to the primal yet mixed with different qualities.

"Ughhhh—Damn it! It was you guys! You were the ones who did this in there!!!"

Gohan Buu roared in pain and rage, instantly understanding everything. Those Gokuks hadn't been digested at all; they had entered his body and were destroying his core structure!
The decline in power was unstoppable, like an avalanche.

In just a few breaths, Gohan Buu's form completely changed.

He was no longer the incomparably powerful Gohan Buu, but had degenerated into someone with a slightly strange form, whose aura, while still evil and powerful, was clearly inferior to his former self.

Cellbuu!

Majin Buu immediately abandoned his attack on Earth and entered his own body.

Goku, Future Trunks, and Gohan have reunited, and the appearance of Majin Buu puts them on high alert.

"Gohan, can you still transform?"

Sun Wukong quickly asked Sun Wufan.

"Father……"

Son Gohan gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, his body almost falling apart, but he staggered and nearly fell down every time he tried.

He had been absorbed by Majin Buu for quite some time, and a large amount of energy in his body had been extracted and devoured. At this moment, let alone transforming, even maintaining a basic Super Saiyan state was extremely difficult, and his golden aura was as weak as a candle in the wind.

"I'm sorry... I... I feel completely drained..."

"This is a huge problem, Mr. Wukong!"

Future Trunks' voice trembled slightly; the enemy before him, though regressed, was still far superior to their current state.

Goku's gaze swept quickly across the surroundings, finally settling on Trunks. His eyes sharpened with determination: "There's no other way! Trunks, let's use fusion! This is our only chance!"

"understand!"

Without hesitation, Future Trunks immediately moved closer to Goku, and the two raised their arms at the same time, preparing to perform that clumsy but life-or-death fusion dance.

"Think beautifully!"

How could Cellbuu stand idly by?

He grinned maliciously, and without even moving, he simply raised his hand and waved it. Several pink energy waves containing destructive power shot out like venomous snakes, attacking Goku and Trunks respectively. They precisely targeted the trajectory of their fusion movement, intending to forcibly interrupt this only hope!
"careful!"

Sun Wukong reacted with lightning speed, shoving Trunks aside and instantly transforming into a Super Saiyan. He used his body to forcefully deflect the energy blast that was attacking him, but the aftershocks of the explosion still caused his blood and qi to surge.

Trunks narrowly escaped thanks to his agile movements, but the rhythm of their combined attack had been completely disrupted.

"Hahaha! In my world, you don't even have the right to struggle!"

With a maniacal laugh, Cellbuu launched an even more ferocious attack.

He moved with the speed of a ghost, appearing in front of Sun Wukong in an instant, and his heavy fist slammed down like a mountain.

boom! boom! boom!
Even after transforming into a Super Saiyan, Goku, who was expending a huge amount of energy and suffering from internal injuries, was no match for him. He could only barely protect his vitals and was hit repeatedly like a sandbag, spitting out blood. His situation was extremely precarious.
