Chapter 262: Power Meets the Storm: A Fierce Battle Between the Coalition Forces Across the Universe
Provocation of the Strange Alliance
In the wonderful and magnificent world of Dragon Ball, the vast universe is like a magnificent painting with colorful but hidden mysteries, with twinkling stars and floating nebulae, each of which contains endless mysteries and unknowns. Opportunities and challenges are like interwoven threads, shuttling through this vast space and time, constantly testing every brave man.
At this moment, the arena of the Tournament of Power was shrouded in a strange and oppressive atmosphere. The setting sun was like blood, as if it was going to dye everything in the world a deep red. The strong blood-red light fell on the arena, as if it had laid a scarlet carpet on the entire venue, and seemed to quietly play a heroic prelude to the upcoming fierce battle. Around the arena, the huge suspended quantum crystals emitted a weak and unstable light, as if they were trembling in this oppressive atmosphere. In the distance, the rolling mountains were outlined as sharp as saw teeth under the reflection of the setting sun, like a ferocious beast guarding this battlefield.
Ikaros of the fourth universe knelt on one knee, the emblem of justice on his armor glowing brightly under the bloody setting sun, like a burning flame, emitting a power that should not be underestimated. In his eyes, the image of the God of Destruction Quitla was clearly reflected - a small mouse with a mysterious and majestic figure. Quitla's mechanical little paws tapped the quantum abacus in an orderly manner, and the crisp sound seemed to be accurately calculating the subtle probability of the survival of the universe, and each tap seemed to be plucking the strings of fate.
"In the name of the smiles of all the children in the universe!" Ikaros' roar exploded like thunder, instantly shattering the quantum crystal on the dome of the stadium. The crisp shattering sound seemed like the prelude to a battle horn. In an instant, his body expanded rapidly in the indigo flame, and his muscle fibers emitted a diamond-like hum, as if playing an exciting battle prelude. Then, he leaped into the air as fast as an eagle, and a holographic projection of the goddess of justice suddenly appeared behind him. Every light pattern around the goddess exuded a mysterious power, continuously reshaping the surrounding space, instantly pushing the tense atmosphere of the stadium to a peak, and people seemed to feel that the air was trembling slightly because of this power.
At the same time, Despo from the 11th universe activated the "Super Light Speed Mode", and the purple flames devoured the light like a black hole, creating a strange dark area in the stadium. His figure instantly turned into a series of afterimages, shuttling through the stadium like a ghost, leaving twelve deep space-time cracks wherever he passed, each of which accurately pointed to Gohan's fatal weakness, as if to put Gohan in an irretrievable place. Just when his cold and flashing mechanical claws were about to cut Gohan's throat, Gohan's mysterious form suddenly burst out with dazzling golden flames, just like the scorching sun bursting out, instantly illuminating the darkness, and wherever the light reached, the darkness receded like a tide.
"Too slow." Gohan's voice was like the roar of the Milky Way, steady and powerful, with an innate confidence and domineering. His right hand stretched out like lightning, and with lightning speed, he accurately caught the afterimage of Tispo, and his left hand had already condensed the amazing Kamehameha. The Kamehameha was like a bright golden meteor, with unparalleled momentum, instantly penetrating the cracks in time and space, and whizzing towards Ikaros. The energy wave hit Ikaros's shield of justice, and the golden ripples spread out layer by layer like ripples on the water. The speed of time in the entire arena seemed to be forcibly distorted by an invisible big hand, becoming disordered and weird, giving people a dizzy feeling of time and space confusion.
On the other side, Frieza maintained his ultimate form, looming in the purple flames, like a demon from the dark abyss, exuding a chilling breath. The energy waves he fired were like a nimble venomous snake, winding along the trajectory of Tispo's movement, each accurately predicting the coordinates of the opponent's teleportation, as if it had its own consciousness. When Tispo's speed factor collided violently with Frieza's death beam, blood-colored lines as gorgeous as quantum roses but extremely dangerous suddenly bloomed in the void, decorating the stadium like a dream, but also hiding murderous intent everywhere, as if it would be swallowed up by this gorgeous appearance in the next second.
"Hohoho, is this what you call justice?" Frieza's tail was like a flexible whip, and with a whoosh, it rolled up the gravel on the field, outlining a mocking symbol in the void. Then, his energy wave suddenly split into millions of micro black holes, rushing towards Ikaros's justice field like a surging tide, instantly tearing it into countless pieces, accompanied by a piercing scream, as if the justice field was wailing in pain.
In the stands, the King of All clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. His innocent eyes were like a child seeing a new toy: "Can that little glowing bald head crush the universe?"
Beerus's martial arts uniform was soaked with cold sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the arena, revealing deep worry. He clearly saw Ikaros's emblem of justice constantly reorganizing in the energy turbulence, and each light pattern was like a greedy tentacle, madly extracting the power of other universes. When Tispo's speed factor and Ikaros's justice field completed particle fusion, a powerful wave of air that surpassed the God of Destruction rushed into the sky, and the momentum seemed to break through the sky, shocking everyone present, as if they felt the gears of fate began to turn violently at this moment.
"This is impossible..." Quitla's mouse-like eyes reflected Ikaros' new form, and his eyes were full of disbelief. At this moment, Ikaros was surrounded by a vortex of energy as deep as a black hole, and each wave of air contained the power to reshape space. His left eye burned with a blazing golden flame like a star, and his right pupil flowed with silver light like the pouring galaxy, as if gathering the most mysterious and powerful power in the universe, like a god descending to the world.
"Justice, Superluminal Speed, God's Domain..." The old Kai spoke slowly with deep awe. The voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying the vicissitudes and solemnity of the years. "He combined the time and space factor of Tispo, the justice belief of Ikaros, and the dark matter energy of the eleventh universe..."
Gohan's mysterious form trembled violently in this divine realm, like a small boat in a storm, so small but indomitable. The Kamehameha he released was as fierce as a golden dragon, with an indomitable momentum, but it created thousands of ripples on the indestructible energy barrier and could never break through, as if it had encountered an insurmountable chasm. At the critical moment when Ikaros raised the Sword of Judgment and was about to behead him, Gohan's eyes were as firm as iron, and he burst out with all his strength. The Kamehameha shone brightly, and the light seemed to break through the clouds, and there was a faint tendency to break through the barrier, giving people a glimmer of victory.
Frieza snorted when he saw this, and quickly condensed a powerful golden energy ball with his hands. The energy ball was dazzling, as if it had gathered all the light in the world. He saw the brief flaw that Ikaros had caused due to his full efforts to maintain the God's Domain, and shouted, "Die!" The sound was like a bell, and he threw the energy ball at Ikaros. Ikaros sensed the attack from behind and wanted to dodge, but his movements were restricted due to the maintenance of the God's Domain. At this moment, he was like a tiger with his hands and feet tied, with all his strength but unable to exert it.
The energy ball instantly hit Ikaros, causing a violent explosion in his God's Domain. The light was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes, and the air waves spread around like surging waves. Ikaros groaned, and there were some fluctuations in the God's Domain, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Gohan took the opportunity to increase the output of Kamehameha, and the golden dragon broke through the layers of ripples, forming a combined force with Frieza's attack, and blasted towards Ikaros like a tidal wave, with the momentum that seemed to destroy everything.
Ikaros could no longer hold on under the double attack, and his divine realm collapsed like broken glass, making a crisp and desperate sound. He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the edge of the ring, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The blood spread on the rusty ground like a blooming blood-red flower.
When Tispo saw Ikaros defeated, his arrogant smile froze instantly, and he felt uneasy. But he quickly calmed down, accelerated again, and the purple aura around him became stronger, like a burning purple flame, "Humph, don't think it's over, justice will prevail!" He rushed towards Gohan and Frieza at a faster speed, trying to find a flaw to launch an attack, with a look of determination in his eyes, as if he was going to use up his last bit of strength to save the defeat.
Gohan and Frieza stood back to back, watching every move of Despo vigilantly. They knew that Despo was extremely fast and could be in danger if they were not careful, so they could not be careless. Frieza whispered to Gohan, "That guy is too fast. We have to find a way to lure him into the trap." His voice was low and calm, as if he was looking for a ray of light in the darkness. Gohan nodded slightly in agreement, and the nod was concise and powerful. The two men's eyes met, and they instantly formulated a strategy to prepare for Despo's new round of attacks. Their eyes were full of determination and confidence, as if they were announcing to the world that they would not be easily defeated.
In the beginning, the overall environment of the Dragon Ball world is described, from the macroscopic cosmic scene to the details around the Tournament of Power arena, such as suspended quantum crystals and mountains in the distance, creating a fantasy and depressing atmosphere that echoes the fierce battle that is about to unfold.
