"Okay, Dad!" Trunks responded, holding himself back despite his urge to intervene. He knew his father's temper all too well.
Tarble sneered. "Is that your son, Vegeta? Actually, it doesn't matter. Whether it's one or both of you, I can handle it!"
Vegeta snorted, his pride unshaken. "I'm more than enough to deal with you alone!"
As Vegeta clenched his fists, an overwhelming divine Ki began to radiate from his entire body.
"Ah!!!"
With a deafening roar, his hair turned a striking purple, his pupils glowed gold, and his Ki transformed from blue to a fierce purple hue. This was Ultra Ego, a state Vegeta had perfected through relentless training.
Galion narrowed his eyes. "A skill of the God of Destruction!" he muttered, recognizing the transformation.
Without hesitation, Vegeta became a streak of purple light, charging at Tarble with terrifying speed.
Tarble scoffed, meeting Vegeta's assault head-on.
The two soared into the sky, clashing at such incredible velocity that, from the ground, they appeared as intersecting streaks of purple and silver tearing through the heavens.
Meanwhile, on Goku's side of the battlefield, the situation was equally intense.
Cell delivered a devastating punch to Goku's face, sending him flying. However, Goku quickly stabilized mid-air, regaining his composure.
Cell smirked. "Goku, you're still the same as ever. Always testing your opponents!"
Goku grinned. "Aren't you the same way?"
Cell shook his head. "I used to be, but not anymore. Now, I'm only interested in defeating you and making you taste hell!"
"I've been to the underworld, Cell. But I doubt I'll ever end up in hell."
Cell sneered. "Whether you do or not, I'll make sure you die here today!"
"Really? That depends on whether you're capable of it!"
In response, Cell clenched his fists, unleashing a surge of energy so immense that it shook the battlefield.
"What!"
Gohan and Trunks, observing from a distance, were astonished. While they had anticipated Cell's strength, the level of power he now displayed exceeded their expectations.
"Ah!!!"
Cell's green skin shimmered as it turned gold. His hands darkened to a deep purple, and the black portions of his body gleamed with gold accents. Golden Ki erupted from him like a blazing inferno.
"This is…"
Cell laughed triumphantly. "This is Golden Cell!"
"Golden Cell?"
"Yes. If Frieza could achieve a golden form, why wouldn't I? I carry his cells, after all. But unlike Frieza, I also possess Saiyan cells, which make me far stronger!"
Goku's fists tightened as divine energy surged through him.
"Ah!!!"
With a roar, he transformed into Super Saiyan Deep Blue, his Ki exuding an ethereal intensity.
"What is this, Goku? Why can't I sense your energy?"
"This is Super Saiyan Deep Blue, a transformation that surpasses the Super Saiyan God form."
"Super Saiyan God?"
"Yes. Mortals can't sense divine energy, so you won't be able to sense mine."
"I see!" Cell grinned. "In that case, I won't need to sense your energy to defeat you!"
"Let's find out!"
Without wasting another moment, Goku became a streak of blue light, closing the gap between himself and Cell in the blink of an eye. He launched a flurry of punches and kicks, each moving faster than the eye could follow.
Cell, however, dodged and countered with precision, his movements equally impressive.
Goku growled in frustration, channeling all his power into a massive punch. Yet, Cell evaded it effortlessly.
"Goku, is that all you've got?" Cell taunted, laughing mockingly.
While Goku and Cell battled fiercely, another confrontation was brewing.
Goten and Galion locked eyes. Unlike Goku's fight, their energy radiated at a level that dwarfed everything else on the battlefield.
"You're Goten, right?" Galion asked, his tone calm yet challenging.
"You've heard of me?"
"Of course. They say you're the strongest Saiyan alive."
Goten smirked. "It seems I've made an impression."
"The Great Mother Goddess values you greatly. If you join us, we'll give you an entire universe to govern."
"One universe?" Goten laughed heartily.
"Why are you laughing?"
"I already manage eight universes under Grand Zeno."
"What?!" Galion's composure broke. The revelation of Goten's rank shocked him to his core.
"Yes," Goten replied. "Do you really think I'd settle for just one?"
Galion scowled. "It doesn't matter. Once we win this war, the entire multiverse will belong to us!"
As Galion spoke, a new figure emerged—a monstrous being identical to Cell but radiating an even more fearsome presence.
"Meet Ultimate Cell," Galion announced.
Ultimate Cell had been created by the resurrected Dr. Gero with Frieza's assistance. While the original process would have taken decades, advancements made by Frieza in another dimension reduced the time to mere days.
This new Cell was stronger than ever, equipped with the energy-absorbing abilities of Moro and the replication skills of Sebunsurī.
"Another… another Cell?" Trunks stammered.
"He's not Cell. He's Ultimate Cell!" Dr. Gero declared as he stepped onto the battlefield.
"Dr. Gero?!" Gohan exclaimed, recognizing the figure immediately.
Trunks turned to Gohan in disbelief. "That's him?"
"Yes," Gohan confirmed.
Dr. Gero chuckled. "You must be Gohan. My, how you've grown since I last saw you."
He pointed to Ultimate Cell. "This creation combines your DNA, along with that of Moro, Sebunsurī, and others. It's the pinnacle of my genius. There's no way you can defeat him!"
"We'll see about that!" Gohan roared, his Ki erupting as he transformed into Beast Gohan, his most powerful form.
Beside him, Trunks clenched his fists, ascending to Super Saiyan Blue.
"Let's go!"
With synchronized shouts, the two launched themselves at Ultimate Cell, their energies blazing purple and blue trails as they clashed with the monstrous foe.
