The Plague God, Klaus, let out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. The entire world trembled under its echo — the earth quaked, mountains shuddered, and even the air seemed to wail in terror of his immense power.
Two hundred thousand… three hundred thousand… five hundred thousand… one million…
His battle power continued to surge, rising in a single breath until it reached the level of Son Goku himself. It could have gone even higher — but he stopped, restraining it deliberately.
"Son Goku, now our powers are equal! Let's have a real fight!"
Goku, transformed into a Super Saiyan for the first time, was in an ecstatic, battle-frenzied state. His killing intent flared; his expression turned cold and sharp. The stronger his opponent grew, the more his fighting spirit burned. Without hesitation, he thrust both hands forward and unleashed a Kamehameha of unprecedented power.
"Well done!"
Klaus roared, his palms glowing with dark energy. He fused the Super Saiyan's energy with the Plague Movement Technique, releasing a series of fog-like shockwaves.
But this was no ordinary mist — hidden within were five deadly viruses: Typhoid, Cholera, Epilepsy, Cataract, and Goiter. Each was an insidious disease, capable of devastating even a god.
The Plague God had embedded the viruses into his energy blasts — a covert strike disguised within open warfare!
A sharp crack split the air as the two forces collided mid-sky. Both wielded battle powers in the tens of millions — perfectly matched, neither gaining the upper hand.
However, the black viral mist penetrated through the explosion's shockwave, silently drifting toward Goku.
But as soon as it approached, the flaming aura of the Super Saiyan reacted violently, igniting into a blazing barrier that repelled all contagion. The viruses disintegrated upon contact — Klaus's scheme to win through infection failed completely.
"Don't think you can play dirty tricks, you freak! Show me your real power!" Goku sneered coldly, activating Godspeed. His fists flashed like lightning, every strike landing on Klaus's vital points.
Thus, the two Super Saiyans ended their probing and began a full-on close-quarters brawl.Son Goku — the mightiest martial artist of the Dragon Ball universe — versus the Plague God Klaus, battle deity of the Northern Sector. Both were seasoned warriors, honed through countless life-and-death duels.Their clash darkened the skies and shook the stars — victory uncertain.
Piccolo and Baymax had planned to take the chance to eliminate the mysterious old woman nearby, but Goku and Klaus's battle cut them off. Anyone breaching that frontline would be annihilated by residual energy from two million-level fighters. They could only watch helplessly as the Creation Gourd and the enemy's ritual array were seized before their eyes.
Only the Creation Gourd itself didn't remain idle — its mouth opened, greedily absorbing the escaping energy from both warriors, even drawing in Klaus's viruses without wasting a trace.
In an instant, the two masters exchanged a hundred blows. The Super Saiyan's fiery aura blazed ever brighter; the battle had reached its peak intensity.
The mysterious old crone, regaining her strength, suddenly leapt into the air despite the shockwaves threatening to tear her apart. She let out a sharp hum, and a burst of white light exploded from within her body.
But Goku — alert and battle-wise — sensed it instantly. Having suffered from her soul-drawing technique once before, he wasn't about to fall for it again. With superluminal reflexes, he dodged the white flash.
"Woman! Stay out of this!" Klaus shouted furiously.
But before he could finish, Goku flicked a light blast from his palm. The mysterious woman didn't even have time to scream — she was vaporized completely, not a trace of ash or aura remaining.
The instant she died, Klaus's face twisted — calm turned to rage. His aura exploded into a storm of fire and lightning; muscles bulged; his power skyrocketed like a runaway beast.
"Kakarot! You killed her?! Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! I'll make the whole world burn with you!"
His roar thundered like an apocalypse. The sound waves alone shattered the air, briefly stunning Goku's senses and halting his attack for a split second.
Between masters, even a moment's delay could decide life and death. Klaus grinned wickedly, thrusting out a blackened fist engulfed in demonic flames. Combining his Saiyan battle spirit and plague energy, he struck — and the heavens themselves split apart. Goku's protective aura shattered like glass.
The viruses poured in instantly — the Plague God's technique was terrifying beyond measure. Not even a Super Saiyan's legendary immunity could resist.
Typhoid Virus!
Goku suddenly felt feverish, sneezing violently before vomiting blood. His stance faltered.
Then came the second — Cataract Virus! Goku's vision went black; he was struck blind.
"Damn it!" he growled, covering his eyes. Klaus's form split into a monstrous three-headed, six-armed warrior. Energy blasts, air slashes, and shockwaves bombarded Goku — who was sent crashing to the ground, bloodied.
Barely staying aloft, Goku used the Sky Dance Technique to regain balance — a method he'd learned from Yang Ye's Floating Cloud Divine Art.
"There's a trick here…" Klaus thought warily, but didn't relent. He flung a black talisman into the air.
The talisman unfurled like a celestial canopy — the shadow of a Plague Magic Umbrella manifested, instantly sealing Goku inside.
Even in his rage, Klaus fought strategically — he knew Goku's greatest strength was his near-unkillable resilience. Corner him too hard, and his latent Saiyan instincts could cause another explosive power leap — just like the latest chapter where Fang Fei ascended to Super Saiyan.
Having inherited Nappa's bloodline, Klaus understood the secrets of the Super Saiyan transformation. Though vastly powerful, he wasn't confident against a second-tier Super Saiyan.
And this Goku wasn't the mythical one of legend — his abilities were purely destructive, lacking divine or spiritual techniques.
So Klaus chose wisely: to trap rather than kill — his ultimate move, the Plague Array, passed down from the Plague God Lord Lüyue of the Windrock World.
With his lungs infected and eyes blind, Goku finally collapsed.
Having captured him, Klaus turned his gaze to Piccolo. "Another vital character from the Dragon Ball world… if I capture, study, and modify him, his value will be immeasurable."
He lunged — but the moment they met, Piccolo's strike sent Klaus flying backward with a slap.
"A mantis trying to stop a war chariot? Don't overestimate yourself!" Klaus sneered coldly. Just as he was about to throw Piccolo into the Plague Array, golden light flashed from the Creation Gourd — and from it emerged a golden-haired warrior, upside down, blazing with fighting spirit.
The third Super Saiyan!
Klaus took a step back, his voice tense. "Who are you — Yang Ye, or Vegeta?"
The man smiled faintly, showing perfect white teeth. "I am both Yang Ye and Vegeta! Plague Lord Klaus — your next opponent is me!"
Sensing the overwhelming aura, Klaus grew wary. At that moment, crimson light shimmered from the Gourd again — another figure emerged: Princess Xue Li, now fully recovered, holding a sword in one hand and a pale yellow banner in the other.
It turned out Yang Ye had sacrificed himself, using the Forging Cauldron Technique to suppress a tumor-virus and save Ling Zhao. Though he succeeded, it left his own body critically weakened. Despite exhausting the Nine Transformations of Yuan Energy, the virus spread relentlessly.
After all, Yang Ye's martial cultivation was limited. Though a powerful fighter, he wasn't divine. The Nine Transformations could reach celestial levels, but not yet supreme realms.
As time passed, his spiritual energy waned — even his white-robed mage form couldn't recover its mana fast enough. The tumor cells threatened to overrun his body.
Fortunately, with his evolved brain and mastery of the Tortoise Conversion Skill, Yang Ye found a way to suppress the infection while crafting a countermeasure.
He detached his soul, merging it with Vegeta's Saiyan body, using the Dual Soul Scroll to swap physical and spiritual natures — making his true body the vessel and his vessel the true body.
Once fused, he transformed Saiyan energy into a driving force for divine martial arts, using sheer ferocity to annihilate the cancerous cells within.
Though Vegeta's body lacked divine talent, it possessed immense strength and bottomless energy reserves — like an endless sea.
Moreover, Goku and Klaus's clash had filled the Creation Gourd with excess energy and life force, which was then fed back to Yang Ye.
Through this external aid and immense perseverance, Yang Ye finally eradicated the tumor-virus — sealing only a single trace within his right arm.
But just as he stabilized his condition, Klaus sought to flaunt his power. Anticipating the threat, Yang Ye stepped forward — keeping his weakened true body hidden, and controlling Vegeta's body with his Golden Core Soul to fight.
Klaus sneered arrogantly. "Whether you're Yang Ye or Vegeta, it doesn't matter. With only five hundred thousand in battle power, you're not qualified to face me!"
Yang Ye nodded calmly. "You're right. My Super Saiyan form only has five hundred thousand. You, as the God of Creation's battle deity, master both martial and divine power — your strength is at its peak. It seems I truly have no chance of victory."
He paused — and then smiled.
"But…" he said softly, "this is the Dragon Ball World, where anything is possible. Victory isn't decided by math alone."
With that, Yang Ye unleashed the Heavenly Demon Collapse Technique.
The fiery aura around the Super Saiyan erupted once more — and his battle power doubled, soaring past one million.
