The long hair flowed behind him, and electric arcs flickered around his form. For a moment, Raditz couldn't believe it. He touched his eyebrows and found... the eyebrows were still there. Sure enough, it was impossible to jump two realms at once—he was now Super Saiyan 2.
But to his surprise, his hair had become calmer after transforming into Super Saiyan 2, carrying an unbelievable sense of sublimation.
"What have you done?"
Boundless stared wide-eyed at Raditz's strange transformation. Although he couldn't perceive Raditz's aura clearly, he could feel something ominous in the surrounding environment, as if the world had been turned upside down, and Raditz had become something completely different.
Unconsciously, Boundless shuddered.
Raditz walked toward him slowly, neither hurried nor hesitant, as if strolling through his own garden. There was no contempt or arrogance in those emerald green eyes—instead, they were empty like deep black holes, as if nothing else existed.
In the eyes of Super Saiyan 2, everything else was insignificant.
In other words, Boundless's current power was simply beneath notice!
Raditz didn't answer, which made Boundless feel even more frustrated. But somehow, that glorious majesty frightened him, and he didn't dare take the initiative to attack.
"Could this be the Super Saiyan 2 that Raditz mentioned?" Tarble came back to his senses in horror and shouted tremblingly.
He remembered when Raditz had taught him that there were different realms of Super Saiyans, and the higher they went, the more terrifying their power became. They had only entered the basic realm of Super Saiyan at this moment and were still a long way from being truly powerful!
Now, seeing the glowing golden light and the constantly crackling electric arcs, Tarble believed this was definitely the realm of Super Saiyan 2!
Finally, Raditz approached Boundless, stopping within ten meters. "Thank you for your contribution to my breakthrough. Shall I give you a quick death?"
His tone seemed like he was negotiating, but also like delivering an ultimatum.
Boundless frowned and gritted his teeth with hatred. "You think you can beat me just by changing your appearance? I have endless energy!" He screamed wildly and raised his arms, but he didn't dare charge forward.
For some reason, the more relaxed Raditz appeared, the more pressure he felt. He had held the upper hand just moments ago, but now he was panicking in an instant.
That layer of electric light blocked all his movement predictions. He couldn't calculate Raditz's next moves, nor could he see through his defenses.
Raditz, shrouded in golden light, caused his analytical systems to collapse.
"Then give it a try." Raditz's tone was so calm it was infuriating.
Boundless desperately wanted to beat Raditz violently, but he could only wait tensely, keeping his arms in front of him and not daring to move rashly.
He didn't move, but Raditz couldn't wait to test his new power.
In the next second, Raditz flew toward Boundless, his arm piercing through his opponent's chest in a burst of golden flames and crackling electricity.
It was so fast that no one could follow it clearly! With this speed, no matter who he was facing, he possessed the power to kill in a single strike!
The impaled Boundless was still in shock. He subconsciously reached out to wrap around Raditz, trying to use his old trick of imprisoning his opponent and launching a devastating barrage.
Raditz smiled coldly, his eyes focusing with deadly intent. In an instant, his aura exploded, and the murderous pressure shattered Boundless's grasping hands. After that, he easily pulled out his arm and followed up with a devastating spinning kick.
BOOM!
Boundless crashed to the ground, kicking up massive clouds of dust. He had two broken arms, a gaping hole in his chest, and looked utterly ruined. Countless streams of energy filled his body to compensate for the damage and quickly repair his functions. He was indeed difficult to kill, and he also possessed the ability to evolve. After being attacked by Raditz, he could quickly regroup and even improve.
Raditz continued walking toward Boundless, who had just gotten up. Gritting his teeth, Boundless launched himself into Instant Transmission.
The power of space suddenly went haywire, and Boundless was twisted and squeezed out of the teleported space. The immense pressure forced him back into normal space! His Instant Transmission had failed.
"I told you—don't use Instant Transmission in front of me."
A cold voice came from directly behind Boundless, making his entire body go numb.
His teleportation attempt had just been intercepted by Raditz, but what was truly terrifying was that Raditz himself had been able to perform Instant Transmission to appear behind him.
"Raditz... you... die!" the vicious Boundless yelled like a madman. Since he couldn't use teleportation, he'd go for direct assault! He had plenty of energy anyway—he could kill Raditz through sheer attrition.
The crazed Boundless struck backward with tremendous force, and with a sharp snap, Raditz caught the attack effortlessly with a single hand.
One finger, as if swatting away an annoying insect.
Unwilling to accept this, Boundless continued attacking in a frenzy. Thousands of afterimages churned the air, bursting out chaotic airflows and glittering flashes, but Raditz didn't move a single step, receiving every attack with just one finger.
WHAM! Raditz counterattacked with a casual slap that sent Boundless crashing to the ground. The devastating blow shattered the earth beneath him. Boundless's face was twisted with fury as he propped himself up with one arm, fragments falling from his damaged cheek.
He regretted coming to trouble Raditz. Maybe if he could have evolved more completely... But everything was beyond reach now, and he had no chance.
"It's over!" As if deeply disappointed, Raditz reached out and grabbed Boundless's wrist, hurling him into the sky with tremendous force. His eyes suddenly sharpened like gleaming swords!
His hands gathered an enormous amount of ki and positioned them in front of his body, opening like flower petals.
"Nova Radiance!"
An energy attack? Boundless showed a surprised expression, displaying the enthusiasm of someone finding hope in despair. While cursing Raditz for being stupid, he opened his arms happily.
"Oh no! My brother is using a ki blast to attack, and his energy will be absorbed!" Kakarot realized something was wrong and yelled urgently.
Vegeta also stepped forward. "Damn it! Raditz knows this better than anyone. Has he gotten overconfident?" He wished he could become Raditz right now and directly dismantle Boundless's body by force, crushing every chip.
But no one could stop what was happening. The brilliant ki attack rushed straight toward the sky, blasting toward Boundless.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Raditz's golden light churned, his muscles bulging as energy coursed through his meridians, pushing his Super Saiyan 2 body to its absolute limits. "I'll use this technique to destroy you completely!"
His aura rose to an unprecedented height, making Boundless tremble. Bang bang bang—a series of explosive sounds rang out as Boundless, submerged in the brilliant light, bathed in it while frantically absorbing the energy of the Nova Radiance.
And Raditz continued to roar, his voice shaking the very foundations of the world.
Suddenly, Boundless was horrified to discover that his body was disintegrating. The wound on his cheek, his broken arms, and the hole in his chest could no longer be maintained. The massive ki attack from Raditz was destroying him!
He couldn't absorb it?
The energy was over his limit!
Boundless felt a chill in his heart as he sensed his core chips vibrating and showing signs of cracking at any moment. No, no—Raditz's overwhelming power was going to destroy him! His only thought was to escape!
Dr. Gero's body had now become his prison. At this most critical moment, he split into several different Metal Cooler individuals, attempting to use chip division to escape once again.
But space suddenly froze, and the colorful world presented before Boundless became black and white. He couldn't move—he was completely imprisoned.
An icy chill pierced through his back, deep into his very core. Raditz's golden figure was the only source of color in this monochrome world.
The six Boundless clones were pulled back into the bombardment range of the Nova Radiance, submerged in the brilliant white energy.
"Want to escape? Sorry, but my psychic powers have evolved too."
Raditz spoke those few words, raised his eyebrows, and the black and white world regained its color. The power of the Nova Radiance spread outward, and the terrifying explosion blasted Boundless into complete nothingness, the shockwave reaching even distant planets.
Even the Supreme Kai collapsed to the ground, his face pale with shock.
