[World's No. 1 Princess: "Is that really true? @Vegeta, have you never thought of fighting Cell at his full power to prove that you're not inferior to Goku?"]
[Vegeta: "I'm not stupid. To prove I'm stronger than Kakarot, there's no need to use such an unreliable method."]
[Kumoko: "But I remember the Group Leader saying before that in the predetermined future and past, you allowed Cell to evolve into his perfect form and then got beaten badly. Wasn't that the case?"]
Seeing Kumoko's message, a vein popped out on Vegeta's forehead.
This spider really knows how to hit a nerve.
[Vegeta: "That was my future without joining the Chat Group. I wouldn't be that foolish now. Even if I want to prove I'm Super Vegeta, there are plenty of ways. There's no need to give the enemy a power-up."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Well, that's just how it was. Anyway, Vegeta, you haven't been stubborn for just a day or two."]
[Vegeta: "..."]
Why can't I beat her? I really want to punch someone.
[Uchiha Madara: "Actually, having such a thought isn't wrong. A hearty, evenly matched battle is a warrior's highest pursuit, just like me and Hashirama."]
[Lumine: "So, you always get hammered?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "?"]
[Lumine: "For example, your battle with Senju Hashirama at the Valley of the End."]
[Uchiha Madara: "..."]
[Uchiha Madara: "At the Valley of the End, Hashirama won, that's undeniable. But I was the one who survived, so I'm the winner."]
[Lumine: "@Uchiha Madara, speaking of which, I'm a bit confused. With Susanoo, you can fly, so why did you have to fight Senju Hashirama in close combat and even ram into his fists?"]
In the Ninja World, there were few ninjas who could fly, and it's unknown if Senju Hashirama could fly.
But Uchiha Madara could! Susanoo combined with the Nine-Tails, a long-range Tailed Beast Bomb strategy would be so convenient, yet he insisted on clashing head-on with a thousand fists.
Lumine just found it incomprehensible.
Passionate battles, fist-to-fist combat, and so on, were clearly not suitable for a cute girl like her.
[Uchiha Madara: "Uh... that's respect, do you understand respect? That's a man's romance. Besides, I'm not Aizen Sōsuke, making everything so flashy."]
[Aizen Sōsuke: "?"]
What did I do to you?
A certain big boss, currently dealing with Inazuma's political affairs, was suffering an unprovoked attack.
At this moment, he was speechless.
You two can argue, but why do you have to use me as an example?
No matter how bad I am, I was defeated by my own proudest creation.
Unlike you, who lost miserably from beginning to end.
Aizen Sōsuke glanced at the teacup on his desk.
"Hmm, that's right, it's a tragedy."
[Kumoko: "I don't understand... I only saw Old Man Madara keep losing, especially when Senju Hashirama committed suicide... How could such a small dagger kill him?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "That was when I saw Senju Hashirama's resolve, so I decided to abandon my hatred and build Konoha with him. @Kumoko, you're not trying to say that I was beaten stupid at the time, are you?"]
[Kumoko: "Uh, no, I didn't think that."]
Even if she thought that, she couldn't admit it!
[Kumoko: "Um, watch the live broadcast, watch the live broadcast..."]
Kumoko quickly changed the subject.
The live broadcast continued. Since neither Piccolo nor Vegeta planned to go up, Goku actually let his son, Gohan, go up and fight Cell.
"Don't worry, Gohan, as long as you get angry, you'll definitely be able to defeat Cell," Goku encouraged his son.
Gohan also hadn't expected his father to make him face Cell.
He subconsciously looked towards Piccolo.
Piccolo was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You decide for yourself. Don't mind Goku, he's just like that."
Since neither his biological father nor his adoptive father had any clear objections, Gohan could only go up and confront Cell.
As Gohan walked over, Piccolo came to Goku's side.
"Goku, do you think Gohan can win? The opponent is Dr. Gero's most perfect Android," Piccolo worried.
"He lost once before, didn't he? It's not impossible for him to lose again."
"Uh..." Piccolo was speechless.
Indeed, Cell had lost to Android 21. According to Dende, Android 21 had almost instantly defeated Cell.
Speaking of Android 21, Piccolo was worried.
But the primary enemy now was Cell; other matters would have to wait until Cell was dealt with.
"Piccolo, are you sure you'll carry out the plan?" Goku asked with a serious expression.
"For Gohan, it's nothing," Piccolo nodded.
"Actually, it should be me..." Goku sighed.
"Don't talk like you're at a funeral," Piccolo's cheek twitched slightly.
Meanwhile, Vegeta, although not listening closely to their conversation, could clearly understand what they were saying through the Chat Group.
[Uchiha Madara: "@Vegeta, do Goku and Piccolo have any schemes?"]
[Vegeta: "I don't know. I don't think Kakarot can come up with any useful strategies. If there are any, they're most likely Piccolo's ideas."]
[Rimuru: "@Vegeta, from what the Group Leader said before, it seems you guys still have some gap with Cell. Going together might give you a chance, but one by one..."]
[Vegeta: "Impossible. Neither I nor Kakarot would allow anyone to participate in our battle. This is a Saiyan's pride."]
[Kumoko: "What about when you fought Frieza then?"]
[Vegeta: "..."]
This spider can find a loophole in everything.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, don't say that about Vegeta. Vegeta also has pride, a little, but not much."]
[Vegeta: "You might as well not have said anything."]
In the live broadcast, intense battle scenes between Gohan and Cell were shown.
As the two individuals closest to Super Saiyan 2, their battle was so fast that even ordinary Z Fighters found it hard to follow.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A series of sonic booms echoed in the sky.
Two fists met, and a rampant energy burst forth, spreading outwards from the two of them.
"Not bad," Cell retreated slightly, then laughed loudly, "It seems Goku wasn't just bluffing. You indeed have strength comparable to his. However, if this is all you have, you won't be able to defeat me."
Cell sped up, and with a "whoosh," appeared in front of Gohan. Due to the extreme height difference, Cell kicked Gohan away.
Before Gohan could react, Cell once again left afterimages in the air, directly appearing behind Gohan.
Another aerial volley kick.
Boom!
Gohan slammed heavily onto the ground.
Cell also landed on the ground, wiping the remaining bloodstain from the corner of his mouth with his hand.
The Cell Games continued.
Meanwhile, in the GT World.
After a shopping spree, Beryl and the two others began their return journey to Capsule Corporation by car.
The designated driver was still a certain middle-aged man, Vegeta.
On the road, as the car traveled, a golden energy blast illuminated the night sky, approaching the car at an extremely fast speed.
Just as Vegeta was about to make a move, the car he was driving was enveloped by a pale white light circle.
Vegeta felt a chill.
Compared to the energy blast above, Vegeta was more concerned about the person using the spherical light circle.
It couldn't be his daughter, Bulla, so it could only be…
Vegeta maintained extreme vigilance but did not make a direct move.
He wanted to see what would happen.
The golden energy blast landed on the spherical barrier, only emitting a few hissing sounds. After that, not even a ripple was stirred; it was directly absorbed by the barrier.
