Son Gohan's sudden appearance threw Cell's plans into disarray.
Cell's original plan involved absorbing enough humans to gain power surpassing that of the two Androids. After absorbing the Androids, it would become the ultimate being, capable of destroying the solar system, even the galaxy. Then, it would be the strongest in the entire universe.
However, Son Gohan hadn't died. Moreover, he had witnessed Cell attacking humans, making deception impossible. In this situation, a fight was unavoidable.
"Son Gohan, aren't you going to transform into a Super Saiyan? Do you think you can fight me with your current power?"
Son Gohan and Cell faced each other in the air. The strong winds at that altitude whipped at Son Gohan's clothes, but neither of them was affected.
Hearing Cell's words, a cold smile appeared on Son Gohan's determined face. "Cell, it seems you really want to experience my power, and... be killed by it."
"Hahaha... Son Gohan, I admit your power is indeed formidable, but to kill me, your strength isn't enough! Let me see it, the power of a Super Saiyan!" Cell said, pointing at Son Gohan. He naturally understood Son Gohan's strength, having fought the Androids so many times. Currently, he was definitely weaker than Son Gohan in terms of raw power. But, don't forget, Son Gohan only had one arm; how much power could he exert?
In this situation, Cell wasn't exactly fearless, but he wasn't overly afraid of Son Gohan's power either.
Although he was forced to fight Son Gohan, since they were going to battle, he couldn't appear weak. Fighting Son Gohan would allow him to understand the gap between himself and the Androids. Moreover, if he could find a chance to devour Son Gohan, wouldn't he instantly become much stronger?
"Since you want to see my power, I'll let you see it!"
As he spoke, the energy within Son Gohan began to surge out. Golden flames danced around him, and his golden hair swayed in the wind. His aura kept rising, and soon, Son Gohan completely displayed a battle power of nearly 500 million!
Yes, Son Gohan, after transforming into a Super Saiyan, now possessed a battle power of 500 million. If they were to compare, he might even be slightly stronger than the strongest Android 17. However, in a real fight, such power wouldn't guarantee a win against Android 17, since they had an endless supply of energy.
But, such power made Cell widen his eyes and feel terrified!
"How is this possible? Son Gohan, how could you possibly have such power!" After sensing Son Gohan's immense power, fear welled up inside Cell!
"Heh heh heh, Cell, you wanted to see my power. How is it? Are you afraid under my power?" The Super Saiyan transformation influenced Son Gohan's personality, turning him from a relatively gentle person into someone slightly arrogant. He looked at Cell and sneered.
Son Gohan was actually quite surprised as well. This was the first time he had fully unleashed his power after being revived from the brink of death. This power was far stronger than his previous self!
It could only be said that Saiyans were truly an incredible race. Not only could they transform into a Super Saiyan, but they could also gain even greater power through near-death recovery. If this behavior wasn't so risky, Son Gohan would be tempted to get himself nearly killed on purpose and then have Ling An help him recover.
As Son Gohan displayed his power, Cell was filled with disbelief and fear. But at this point, he had no other options. With a roar, he immediately attacked Son Gohan!
Facing Cell's attack, Son Gohan didn't just stand there and wait to be hit. Instead, he clenched his only hand into a fist, gathering immense power, and slammed it towards Cell!
BOOM—— It was like thunder from the heavens!
The moment they clashed, Cell was shocked by Son Gohan's immense power. That power, in its perception, was even more terrifying than that of the two Androids.
"Why... why has Son Gohan's power increased so much in such a short time?!"
Cell was astonished by Son Gohan's strength. However, for Son Gohan, Cell was much weaker than he had anticipated. Yes, weak. Although in Ling An's description, Cell was a terrifying being, Ling An had also said that Cell's terrifying power was built upon the foundation of absorbing the two Androids. And the current Cell, not to mention the Androids, hadn't even absorbed many ordinary humans.
In this situation, Cell was even inferior to the weaker Android 18.
"This is better. I can take out Cell, who poses such a huge threat, and I won't have to worry about the danger he might bring!"
Son Gohan was invigorated, battling Cell with even greater power, the strength of both sides constantly clashing.
Cell unleashed his fastest speed and strongest power to attack Son Gohan, but Son Gohan, whose strength far surpassed Cell's, easily dodged the attacks. When he found an opening, he delivered a powerful elbow strike, sending Cell flying and slamming him hard into the ground.
Dust flew everywhere. Suddenly, an Energy Blast shot out. Facing this attack, Son Gohan, enveloped in a golden aura, roared and clenched his hands, slamming them down hard. The Energy Blast Cell fired was directly sent back by Son Gohan!
Boom!
The sound of explosions echoed through the sky. For a moment, Cell seemed to have been killed. But Son Gohan knew that such an attack couldn't kill Cell at all. He carefully sensed for a moment and quickly located Cell's position!
"I won't let you get away!"
Son Gohan shouted and conjured countless light bullets in his hands, throwing them towards Cell's location. The explosions continued to erupt. This display of the Prince's Fighting Style forced Cell to reveal himself.
Cell looked rather disheveled at this moment, with numerous wounds on his body, and a stream of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His expression was extremely unsightly as he looked at Son Gohan. He hadn't expected Son Gohan's strength to be so terrifying. Even with only one arm usable, in just a few rounds, he had been suppressed to the point where he could barely fight back.
"Cell, it's not a good habit to be distracted during a fight!" Along with the sound of a strong wind and Son Gohan's voice, a fist landed on Cell's stomach. With a loud thud, Cell's entire body arched, his eyes bulged, and he spat out several streams of saliva and blood!
And that wasn't the end of it. Son Gohan retracted his fist and kicked out, delivering a powerful sweep that sent Cell flying directly away. Carrying Son Gohan's terrifying power, Cell flew through several high-rise buildings.
"Cough cough cough... Damn Son Gohan, to have such terrifying power. If I could absorb more humans, I definitely wouldn't be so pathetic."
Cell slowly stood up from the ruins, chunks of sand and stone falling from his body. At this moment, his aura was even more depleted. Looking at Son Gohan slowly flying over, his face was filled with resentment: "Son Gohan, don't think this is all my strength! Next, I'll let you see just how powerful the most perfect Android is!"
As he finished speaking, before Son Gohan could react, he threw his head back and let out a long howl. With his roar, powerful energy erupted from his body. Seeing this, Son Gohan's expression turned cold. Just as he was about to step in and stop him, he suddenly realized that Cell had finished...
"Son Gohan, how is it? This is all my power. If you don't want to get hurt or even die because of this, I can give you a chance, a chance to leave!"
Cell said in a deep voice, streaks of energy bursting around him. His extremely ugly face was staring coldly at Son Gohan.
"Heh, I thought you would have more power? Just this? Cell, you really disappoint me." Son Gohan shook his head with a laugh. In his perception, Cell had indeed become much stronger than before, perhaps comparable to the female Android he had fought earlier. But it was only comparable, Cell's aura was very unstable, clearly, this was a forced power, and it couldn't compare to Android 18 at all.
If someone without much combat experience felt Cell's sudden increase in power, they might be intimidated. But who was he? Son Goku's son, Piccolo's disciple, and he had fought the Androids for so many years. His combat experience was absolutely rich, so he wouldn't be frightened by Cell's current form.
"Son Gohan, you've completely angered me! In that case, I'll let you see the power of the most perfect Android!"
Failing to intimidate Son Gohan, Cell understood that there was no hope. In this situation, it roared, erupting with tremendous power and attacking Son Gohan at an extremely fast speed!
Facing Cell's attack, Son Gohan curled his lips into a cold smile. When Cell got close, he easily dodged the attack with a flash. At the same time, he effortlessly grabbed Cell's arm and, before the latter could resist, slammed it hard into the air.
Son Gohan flew to Cell at an extremely fast speed, his fist carrying a terrifying destructive power, and slammed hard into Cell. Then, he came to Cell's above, and with another elbow strike, Cell's body slammed hard into the ground, and with a loud boom, a huge pit instantly appeared on the ground!
Looking at Cell lying motionless in the pit, Son Gohan floated to the side in the air, the corner of his mouth slightly raised:
"Well, let's finish you off with the final blow!"
As the words fell, the blue energy blast that had been gathering in his hand for a long time shot towards Cell on the ground.
BOOM!
The terrifying destructive power annihilated everything around them, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky...
