Raditz felt he was at the bottleneck of his breakthrough, and he almost had enough fuel to ignite the flames of transformation.
Transforming into Super Saiyan 2 was an improvement in realm compared to Super Saiyan 1, and there were various ways to achieve it. Gohan's emotional outburst when facing Cell, or the hard training of Kakarot and Vegeta—both could drive the breakthrough.
Raditz wanted to use Boundless to push himself beyond his limits.
Of course, he also had a backup plan. He had learned his lesson from carelessly throwing capsules on Namek. Now all the important capsules were stored in his underwear.
One of the capsules hidden in his crotch contained the bottle and jar for the Evil Containment Wave. If it weren't for the fact that there was no room to use it safely on Earth, he would have used the Evil Containment Wave to seal away Boundless directly.
The others didn't know what he was thinking and were shocked when they heard Raditz ask in such a provocative manner, "Can you get any stronger than this?"
Hey, stop playing around—this guy in front of you isn't some sparring partner!
Kibito almost fell backward and was supported by the Supreme Kai.
Only Vegeta snorted coldly: "This is how a Saiyan thinks. What's all the fuss about?"
Android 18 was stunned when she heard this exchange. Is this really how Saiyans are? Raditz had spared her once and saved her again, which had invisibly drawn her attention. This battle wasn't her concern, but it made her worry nonetheless.
In the vast Sacred World of the Kai, Boundless was filled with murderous intent.
"Stronger?"
I'll show you!
Suddenly, the aura around Boundless's body surged violently, and thick power gushed out. His excessive energy continuously stimulated every node in his being, and evolution began! Sure enough, he was able to continuously strengthen during battle, exploding under Raditz's stimulation.
The red light in his eyes turned into flowing thin lines as he moved at high speed, his figure arriving in front of Raditz in an instant. Boundless raised his knee and charged, instantly shattering an ancient tree of the Sacred World of the Kai. Powerful force came wave after wave, driving into Raditz's abdomen.
"Hah!" Raditz roared, putting his hands in front of his stomach to resist Boundless's attack.
In just a short moment, Boundless hit more than a dozen times in succession, causing Raditz's body to tremble violently. This was just brute force, but it excited Raditz.
He stepped forward and struck back at Boundless with tremendous force.
Their legs clashed hard, smashing into the void. Space shattered like a mirror, and a vortex of air flow exploded with a sharp crack.
The two retracted their legs and swung their fists simultaneously, blasting out several heavy blows. The huge force enveloped the entire world. Raditz's telekinetic barrier collapsed in the vast ocean of power, and he flew backward.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as Raditz fell on his back.
On the other side, Boundless staggered back several steps, his body shaken, but he still stood intact.
"Raditz!" Zangya covered her mouth and cried out, stepping forward involuntarily, but was held back by Kakarot.
"My brother isn't seriously injured. Don't worry—he must have a plan." Kakarot said seriously, looking at Raditz who was getting up and nodding.
Zangya's tense body relaxed slightly, and her expression softened a little.
She was very worried about Raditz and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that what Kakarot said was true.
Soon, Boundless rushed over again, and Raditz moved behind him at high speed, swinging his hand in a chopping motion, but missed. Boundless had already disappeared and suddenly appeared above Raditz's head, bombarding him with wild energy blasts.
"Not good!"
Raditz's expression changed, and he quickly maneuvered through the frantic bombardment of energy blasts, timing his moment to instantly move behind Boundless and whip his leg around.
Suddenly, a huge force met his leg, blocking him! Boundless had been prepared!
Bang! Raditz was countered by Boundless, suffering several consecutive blows before falling to the ground. Immediately afterward, he quickly rolled to avoid the bombardment of raging energy blasts.
Space shook violently, and everyone else moved away from the scope of the battle. Even the solid Sacred World of the Kai was being bombarded full of craters.
"It seems he really is getting stronger. Boundless can truly be called a monster," Raditz thought to himself, dodging attacks with gritted teeth, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Facing the bombardment of unlimited energy, Raditz was filled with fighting spirit.
He was unwilling to fail, unwilling to be weak—he had always wanted to be the protagonist! He had grown from 1,200 combat power to his current level because he firmly believed he had this ability. He was the brother of Kakarot, and he was born with hair that looked like Super Saiyan 3.
Why can't I be great!
Raditz shouted from the bottom of his heart and rushed against the energy bombardment, his green pupils shining like fire. Boom! He punched through all the barriers and struck Boundless in the face.
The force of the punch made Boundless turn his face sideways, almost bending his entire neck at ninety degrees.
A clear "crack" sound reached Raditz's ears—the sound of Boundless's cervical vertebrae breaking.
As the ultimate cyborg, Boundless wouldn't die so easily. He straightened his head again, the continuous energy in his body transmitting throughout his form, and slapped Raditz's chest.
Raditz didn't even have time to defend against the swift palm strike. The surging force blasted directly into his body, and Raditz flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood when he landed.
Looking at his chest, it was scorched black.
Such tremendous force—Boundless was already beyond the level of full-power Super Saiyan 1! Raditz felt his heart beating faster, his brain buzzing, and his whole body growing hot. As a result, his blood began to boil.
I can break through—I will!
The intense pressure stimulated Raditz's will to become stronger, leading his body to burn with even more powerful brilliance. His blood seemed to be boiling, and every cell was stimulated with vitality.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Anger, anxiety, longing... The power of his countless emotional pursuits erupted in an instant. Suddenly, the golden brilliance burst into dazzling light, the earth cracked, the void shook, and lightning wrapped around Raditz like golden serpents.
His ki soared! Rushing straight to the sky above the Sacred World of the Kai!
A wave of energy invisible to the naked eye spread out and oscillated around Raditz. Not only was the Sacred World of the Kai affected, but the lower realm was also shaken.
Kibito collapsed to the ground with a thud, sweating profusely and gasping for breath. This force could affect the entire Sacred World of the Kai, far surpassing divine power. In an instant, all his understanding was shattered, and Kibito's mind went blank.
At this time, the pupils of the Saiyans like Kakarot flickered with strange brilliance, and their breathing became stagnant.
Had Raditz's Super Saiyan form changed?
They saw that Raditz's towering hair had drooped in the golden light. Although it was still wild, it wasn't as exaggerated as before, and his green eyes were deeper, like an endless abyss. Crackling lightning flashed around him, reflecting his fierce aura, and that lofty presence made it impossible for them to detect its limits!
Unfathomable—he had pulled ahead of them by a significant margin!
"Gulp," Vegeta swallowed hard, unable to speak. Sweat on his cheeks slid down his resolute face.
Raditz looked up to the sky and roared, his violent momentum creating a vigorous hurricane that swept everything away, making everyone tremble. The weaker fighters like Krillin even had to hide behind Kakarot to maintain their footing.
Turning his head to look at his hair and tail, he clenched his fist again. Raditz felt his strength had doubled, and he was taken aback.
Super Saiyan 2 was truly extraordinary! No, wait—this hair looked a bit like Super Saiyan 3!
