"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and a one-shotting superhero baldy against a seven billion year old planet. When I arrived in the world of Dragon Ball, this definitely wasn't what I expected.

Granted, Gray hadn't expected a lot of things that had happened: the world being changed so much, there being characters from other worlds, everyone being so powerful here, or his game system being such a dick, to name a few.

I shouldn't fuck around here. The only other person who became a literal planet was Zamasu, and he was more than a final boss.

"Celia, do it now," He ordered simply, glancing back at the green-haired woman, who was floating far behind himself, Saitama, Tatsumaki, and Caulfila, but was closer than the majority of his squad still.

There's no need to delay. That's how someone ends up dead.

"Got it," Celia nodded, holding up her palm. Her face twisted in focus, her eyes becoming a little pained as a ball of pure flashing white energy formed on her hand. It pulsated for a moment, growing larger and brighter, and then she flicked her wrist and sent it flying into the sky above.

She'll be drained a bit, but she has enough energy now to still be helpful.

Despite her Ki reserves increasing a shit-ton since the last time she used this technique on Earth, Celia had told Gray that it 'doesn't become easier' even when you have more Ki. It was more like a percentage-based Ki-draining technique than a base one, so Celia was still using a lot of her energy to create the fake moon.

As the fake moon pulsed in the air above Gray, his body started to shift, expanding and bulging outward as hair started to grow on his skin. His body grew larger, his muscles becoming thicker, and his face shifting into an ape-like maw. Far behind him, the rest of his squad experienced the same effect, but Gray didn't give them any thought. He just grinned, his large teeth bared as he stared down at the massive form of Orochi, and tensed his body.

Let's see what a planet can do!

With Gray's transformation, and thus huge multiplier of his power, he could now see the Monster King's power level as he used [Observe].

[Consuming] Orochi-Psykos-Monas (Merged Form):

[Monster King-Esper-Planet of Monsters-God's Servant]

Age: 7,880,925,270

PL: 47.55 Trillion

HP: 1,225,000,100/1,225,000,100

TKI: 10,939,027,084/10,939,027,084

TMP: 218,780,541/218,780,541

Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)

[Consuming Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally consuming, taking the powers of others for themselves.

Damn, that much?

Gray was particularly impressed as he glanced over the spread of the Monster King's stats, which showed that he had both a large amount of HP and MP, but also an insane amount of KI.

Not bad, but…

"Kaio-Ken x10!"

Gray grinned, his eyes narrowing as his Ki started to flow through his body faster. A burst of red aura spiked up around him, coating him in a bubble of Ki as not just his power level, but his body's very functions suddenly skyrocketed. Then, he abruptly shot forward, his Ki-coated fist cocked back as he blitzed at Orochi in a split second. He closed the gap faster than anyone's eyes, even Saitama's, could track as he appeared in front of the massive creature. His fist slammed forward, pounding into the middle of the monster's chest, and the effect was instantaneous.

252,980,250 HP! (972,019,850/1,225,000,100)

As Gray's fist made contact, a ripple went through both the air and Orochi's chest. A shockwave shot outward - both forward and backward, causing a burst of wind to slam into Saitama as the black flesh under Gray's fist crumbled. It melted forward, being flung backward in a mess of sludge-like substance as a massive hole appeared in the middle of Orochi's body. The Monster King's huge body stumbled backward from the blow, its snake-like lower half tearing through the surface of Monas and sending rocks flying in every direction. 

"You annoying ape!" Gray blinked as a voice, a female voice, actually rang out, and the woman coming out of Orochi's shoulders seemed to speak as her large, pure-white lips moved, "And this baldy is still alive too?! All of you, just die!"

Her hands lashed out, and suddenly the surface of Monas shifted again. Abruptly, two massive pillars of land rose upward, the ground curving upward and then bursting out like snakes made of dead dirt and stone. They curved forward, blitzing at Gray from either side, and the woman smirked broadly as they slammed into his side, crushing his entire body between the masses of land.

"Serves you right! Now, for the bald-"

"Don't get too cocky."

She was cut off as the pillars of land suddenly vibrated, shaking lightly, and a spark of light shone from between them. It sparked brighter, and in an instant, a huge ball of Ki shot outward, breaking through the pillars of land as if they were made of glass instead of being a part of Monas itself. Gray smirked as the light faded, casually staring down at the woman as her eyes went wide.

She's speaking, so, they are separate? But, also the same person? Whatever, I just need to-

"Kick your ass," Gray hummed, grinning down at the Monster King-Psykos hybrid. As he did, he raised an eyebrow at the hole in the monster's chest, which was very quickly regenerating.

The flesh around the hole stretched inward, looking like a spiderweb as it went across the entire hole and connected one side to the other. Then it mended together, expanding and refilling the hole as it suddenly looked as good as new.

Regeneration? It was pretty quick, too. If it's like Buu's regeneration, then I need to destroy the entirety of him in one blast, but he's fused with Monas now, so I'd have to blow up the whole planet. 

Considering that both Gray and his squad were on Monas, he hoped that wasn't the only way to take down Orochi, and he'd have to save that method for the last resort.

Not being able to breathe in space really limits you, huh?

There was a reason that this world was filled with numerous planet-busting beings, and yet no one ever blew up a planet during a fight. Frieza, with his ability to survive in the vacuum of space, was the only one who could pull something like that and survive.

The other option is a core in his body. Something that he reforms around.

That was the Cell kind of regeneration - where he needed a cell from his brain to still be alive in order to regenerate around it. If Orochi's regeneration was like that, then Gray could just destroy the Monster King's brain and kill him.

Which is a lot easier than getting everyone off the planet and then blowing it up, which would piss off Frieza anyway, so I'll go with that!

Frieza still wanted to sell Monas, and had given King Vegeta the Planet Coalition situation with that in mind, so blowing up the planet would cause problems that Gray didn't want to deal with yet. Instead, Gray just grinned as he blasted forward again, appearing in front of the regenerating Orochi in an instant.

If I were a core, where would I be? Hopefully not in the actual planet, or this will be annoying.

215,790,100 HP! (975,060,150/1,225,000,100)

Gray's fist slammed into Orochi's stomach, bursting forward and causing a hole to appear in his gut. He held open his palm as the Monster King stumbled back in pain again, his arm swinging downward at Gray but being too slow as the Saiyan shot backward. A burst of Ki shot forward, a beam of pure light cutting through the Monster King's already-holed stomach and causing a complete split to occur in his form.

498,539,775 HP! (476,539,775/1,225,000,100)

Orochi was suddenly cut in half - literally. Gray's Ki beam cut through his middle, tearing his upper half from his lower half and creating a divide between his body as his torso floated in the air. 

Actually, if I just tack on enough HP before his regeneration heals him, would that kill him?

"D-Damn… you…" Gray blinked as it was a different voice this time, sounding deeper and more monstrous, "You... die!"

Gray jerked to the side as a streak of land shot up from below him again, coiling into a sharp, massive spear-like shape as it blitzed upward. It shot past him, but it wasn't alone, as a flurry of other spear-shaped slabs of land shot upward to join it. They curved inward, streaking towards Gray like a dozen different snakes, each one far bigger than even the entirety of his Ozaru body.

Hah. I'm glad the training was worth it, but I might've been too cautious. Hopefully Boros can entertain me more.

Gray smirked, his body tensing again as the flurry of sharp, land-filled spears hurtled forward, intent on impaling him. He shot forward in the blink of an eye, blitzing towards the incoming spears, and casually raised a Ki-coated fist. 

Slow.

Faster than Orochi's could hope to track, Gray's arm casually lashed out with a dozen different punches as he burst through the onslaught of spears. He appeared out on the other side, just glancing over his shoulder as the stone-filled structures crumbled in an explosion of dust.

"Don't stop!" The female voice hissed, glaring down at the monster whose shoulders she was attached to, which was already regenerating as the surface of Monas stretched up to reform a lower body. The land-spears were far from the end of Orochi's attack. 

The Monster King's body suddenly shifted, his torso bubbling for a second as the flesh expanded, and then the creature's body elongated in a burst. He shot upward as if he were growing taller, one of his arms lashing out towards Gray, who just looked at him blandly, raising his hand as a [Ki-Blade] formed.

My skill levels are through the roof after all that evolving and training. This is nothing.

Gray casually swung his arm, the sharp blade of pure-Ki colliding with the front of Orochi's fist. As the massive hand tried to envelop him, the Ki blade carved through it like butter, splitting the entire pure-black hand in two. Orochi's momentum was already started as it made contact, and he continued his swing, pounding forward the rest of his fist and his entire arm as it split around Gray's body like he was parting the ocean.

309,225,125 HP! (670,902,755/1,225,000,100)

"GRAH! You…" The Monster King muttered either ominously or stupidly again, recoiling as his arm was literally carved in half, but the flesh quickly regenerated as the limb regrew.

"Crazy how much a month of training can do for you, huh?" Gray just grinned, leaving out the fact that he ate two fruits from the Tree of Might as well, "You would've been kicking my ass before, but now you're just kind of like a training dummy."

That was also largely because of Gray's Ozaru form and Kaio-Ken multipliers stacking up, but he wasn't going to explain all that to Orochi.

"SHUT UP!" Orochi's voice roared out again, and the ground far below Gray shifted again. The roughly dozen land-made spears from before resurfaced, but looked more like a hundred as they stretched upward like tentacles trying to pierce Gray. 

In response, Gray just raised his hand, pointing his palm downward without a bit of worry. A small ball of Ki formed on his palm, and he launched a volley of Ki-blasts down into the rising spears. Because of Gray's newfound Ki reserves, which were boosted to the moon by his Ozaru transformation, the Ki blasts carved through the land-spears effortlessly. The balls of light literally tore through them, creating blasts of smoke as they split them in half and then exploded in large balls of light.

"H-How…" The female voice shouted out again, and the woman's pure-light eyes were wide at how effortlessly Gray countered all their attacks.

"This one's boring," Gray said simply, glancing over at Saitama, who'd been casually watching the exchange. "Do you have a grudge against him from your fight before, or can I just kill him?"

"I don't care," Saitama just shrugged, still kicking his feet so fast that he was effectively flying.

"D-Don't act like you've won, you damn ape!" Psykos' voice rang out again, the woman glaring on Orochi's shoulders as she abruptly raised both of her arms up high, "I'll slow him down, so kill him, you useless monster! [GRAVITY FIELD!]"

Gray blinked, his eyes going wide as the air around him suddenly became heavy. The ground far below him cratered as the gravity around him increased, and the weight on Gray's shoulders felt even stronger than when even Tatsumaki had used her gravity abilities to help him train.

"Woah. How did this happen?" To his side, Saitama's head was literally being dragged downward, the large bald egg-shaped head acting like a center of mass as the rest of his body stayed upright.

Another gravity chamber!

Gray grinned widely, his body barely even moving from the force on his large ape-shoulders, but his excitement growing from the strength of the gravity.

When I use Kaio-Ken x10 even Tatsumaki's gravity doens't feel that heavy, but I'm in my Ozaru form right now, and this still feels pretty nice!

"Never mind! I'll handle this, Saitama," Gray grinned even wider, his eyes boring into Psykos, who was looking a bit nervous as he didn't even flinch from the gravity field. "Do you know what's better than two gravity chambers?"

"Um… a bargain sale?" Saitama answered the rhetorical question, his head twisting like an owl's as it was being dragged downward.

"Exactly. Three gravity chambers," Gray nodded, ignoring Saitama's clearly wrong answer.

And, they're all hot as hell?

Gray's body tensed, his muscles flexing as he got ready to charge at the Monster King.

This world isn't so bad after all!
