Chapter 263: The Battle of Power: Superman, Despo vs. Gohan, Frieza

The universe is in turmoil

In the fantastic and dreamlike Dragon Ball universe, opportunities and challenges are like closely interwoven threads of fate, following each other like shadows, just like twin flowers that coexist and prosper together. Above the boundless sky, the stars are like bright gems inlaid in the vast sky, each of which is shining and emitting a mysterious and charming light; the nebulae of various shapes are like a dreamlike ocean, wantonly surging with gorgeous waves of light and color, forming a breathtaking cosmic picture scroll. Look, some nebulae are like giant flowers blooming leisurely, with petals interwoven with light stretching out layer by layer, as if telling the gentle whispers of the universe, emitting a mysterious and soft glow; while some nebulae are like a surging galaxy, with brilliant streams of light winding through the vast universe, as if telling an ancient and mysterious legend, carrying countless unknown mysteries. However, beneath this magnificent and enchanting appearance, the cruel reality is like a turbulent undercurrent hidden in the depths of darkness, constantly threatening the peace and tranquility of the universe, like a storm that may erupt at any time, shrouding the entire universe in a shadow of anxiety.

The arena of the Tournament of Power was now shrouded in a bloody mist, and the bloody setting sun was pouring down wantonly, rendering the entire world with a layer of tragic and solemn tones. The thick smoke was like a heavy haze, weighing heavily on the ring, making the air filled with a pungent smell. Every breath seemed to be filled with tension and depression, making it almost impossible to breathe. The ground around the ring was covered with dense cracks due to the baptism of fierce fighting, as if the earth was trembling in pain under the ravages of powerful forces, emitting silent wails, as if telling the tragic nature of the battle.

Ikaros of the fourth universe calls himself a "superman". He is like a lone knight of justice. He firmly believes that Sun Wukong's instigation of the King of All to hold the Tournament of Power is like opening Pandora's box, ruthlessly placing the twelve universes in an abyss that can be cleared by the King of All at any time. In his eyes, this is undoubtedly an extremely evil act and a blatant provocation to the peace and tranquility of the universe. With a persistent belief in justice, like a burning flame, Ikaros is determined to protect the future of the universe, defend the children's tomorrow, fight for the survival of the universe, and become a ray of light in the darkness. He was agile, like an eagle soaring in the sky, his eyes revealing unwavering determination and fearlessness, and he loudly declared: "Sun Wukong's actions have put the universe into an irretrievable danger. He and the Seventh Universe are both accomplices of this evil conspiracy. In the name of justice, I declare war on all forces that destroy peace! For the future of the universe and for the promotion of justice, I will make the truth known to the world and let the light of justice shine upon this universe!"

These impassioned and powerful words echoed in the stadium like rolling thunder, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. The audience seats were boiling, as if a powder keg had been lit, especially the audience from the fourth and eleventh universes. Their eyes flashed with fanatical light, like burning torches. They stood up excitedly and shouted: "Justice will prevail! Down with evil!" "Ikaros, you are our hero!" "Superman, come on! Let those evildoers see the mighty power of justice!" The shouts that came one after another, like surging waves, gathered into a deafening sound wave, as if to overturn the entire stadium. Ikaros' fan base grew rapidly like mushrooms after a spring rain. Countless people were deeply moved by his declaration of justice. They waved homemade flags with Ikaros' image and words such as "Light of Justice" printed on them, as if declaring to the world their support and adherence to justice.

Then, Ikaros and Despo from Universe 11 formed a powerful alliance, like two stars with intertwined destinies. Despo, the "supersonic warrior" famous for his speed, was like a gust of wind, and he deeply agreed with Ikaros's ideas, and the two hit it off. They cast their challenging eyes, like sharp arrows, at Gohan and Frieza from Universe 7, and a cross-universe battle that was enough to shock the entire universe began with passion and excitement.

Ikaros took the lead and in the blink of an eye, he was like an indigo lightning, entering the Indigo Raider form. His figure turned into an indigo streamer, and rushed towards Gohan at a speed that was faster than the blink of an eye, like a meteor being ejected. His speed was so fast that it was like being chased by lightning, and it instantly cut through the sky, leaving only a blurry light and shadow. His fists were like a storm, with the sound of whirring wind, and he madly bombarded Gohan. Each punch seemed to contain the power to destroy everything, as if to ruthlessly tear the surrounding air into pieces. Each punch was full of his anger towards the so-called "evil forces" and his fanatical pursuit of justice. That anger was like a burning flame, hot and fierce. Gohan reacted quickly and instantly activated the Super Saiyan 2 mode. The golden arrogance was like a surging wave, surging wildly around him, and the blazing light was like the rising sun, illuminating a corner of the stadium, demonstrating his powerful strength and firm determination. With his agility and rich combat experience, he twisted his body flexibly, like a nimble fish swimming freely in the wind and waves, and cleverly avoided Ikaros's torrential rain attacks. However, Ikaros's offensive was like a surging tide, wave after wave, continuous and increasingly fierce, as if to completely submerge Gohan. Gohan gradually felt powerless, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The big beads of sweat slowly slid down his cheeks, shining with crystal light under the setting sun, like precious gems. Some slight scratches began to appear on his body, and the bright red blood seeped out, dyeing his clothes red, flying freely in the wind, as if telling the cruelty of the battle.

At the same time, Despo also activated the "Super Light Speed ​​Mode" and instantly turned into an elusive phantom, disappearing into the air like a ghost. A mysterious and deep purple aura emanated from his body, which was like a mysterious purple flame, blazing fiercely, and was a strong proof that his speed exceeded the speed of light. He was like a flash of purple lightning, rushing towards Frieza at super speed, and while speeding, he laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha, Frieza, you evil accomplices, today is your doom! In front of my speed, you are nothing but slow ants, vulnerable!" Frieza maintained his ultimate form, with that classic arrogant smile on his face, as if everything in the world was under his control, and he let out a signature laugh: "Ho ho ho, little Karami, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are fast! In front of my absolute power, your speed is nothing but a futile struggle!" As he spoke, he swung his hands quickly, his movements were like a phantom, and waves of energy were like gorgeous and deadly fireworks, carrying the breath of destruction, flying everywhere, whistling towards Tispo. Wherever the energy waves passed, the air made a sharp whistling sound, as if wailing for this fierce battle, and as if warning everyone of the danger of this battle. But Tispo's speed was too fast, like lightning, and Frieza's attacks were like a stone sinking into the sea, all missing. This made Frieza's originally raised brows slightly frown, and a trace of imperceptible vigilance flashed in his eyes. He was keenly aware that the opponent in front of him was no ordinary person, but a strong enemy worthy of his attention.

Ikaros saw that it was difficult to defeat Gohan in a short time, and he was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. He immediately changed into the Emerald Wind Form. In an instant, his speed and agility reached a new level. His figure was as erratic as a ghost, as if he had merged into the air, making him elusive. He quickly shuttled around Gohan, flashing like a ghost, and shouted: "The wind of justice, blow away the evil!" From all the tricky angles, like a sharp blade, he attacked Gohan. Under Ikaros's violent attack, Gohan's scars gradually increased, and blood stained his clothes, flying freely in the wind, like a fluttering blood-red flag. But Gohan did not retreat. He knew that there was no way out at this time, and he had to go all out and fight to the death. So, he directly activated the mysterious Gohan form and unleashed his full power without reservation. In an instant, a powerful and mysterious aura, like an awakened ancient beast, burst out from his body, and the light instantly overshadowed Ikaros's emerald green wind form. The light seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and bring hope. This aura carried the majesty of destroying the world, as if it wanted to completely destroy all obstacles. With this powerful force, Gohan began to confront Ikaros head-on. The battle between the two became more and more intense, and every collision made a dull and shocking sound, as if it was going to shatter the entire stadium. The sound was like thunder, echoing in the stadium, making people terrified. Ikaros' fists, with the sound of whistling wind, hit Gohan like cannonballs, and the power seemed to be able to shatter steel in an instant. Gohan fought back with the same fierce fist. His fists were like a heavy hammer, with a thousand pounds of force, and hit Ikaros fiercely. Gohan's punch hit Ikaros' shoulder hard. Ikaros groaned, and the muscles on his shoulder bulged instantly, like a sandbag hit by a heavy hammer. His body trembled slightly, and his feet took a step back involuntarily, but he immediately stabilized his body, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Then he punched Gohan in the face again. The punch was sharp, like a sharp blade, blowing Gohan's hair wildly. Gohan dodged sideways and kicked Ikaros in the waist at the same time. This kick contained a thousand pounds of force, as if it could crush the earth. Ikaros quickly blocked it with his arm. The severe pain in his arm made him grit his teeth. The blue veins on his arm suddenly popped up, like twisted little snakes, as if telling the pain he was enduring.

On the other side, the battle between Despo and Frieza also entered a white-hot stage, like a blazing fire, burning more and more fiercely. With super speed, Despo continued to launch surprise attacks on Frieza like a ghost. His figure was like a purple phantom, flashing around Frieza, dazzling people, as if they were in an illusory dream. Frieza, with his rich combat experience and strong strength, was like a towering mountain, calmly dodging attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, always paying attention to Despo's every move. Despo rushed towards Frieza like lightning, trying to tear Frieza's defense with his claws. The claws flashed coldly in the sun, as if they could easily cut through everything. Frieza dodged sideways, as agile as a cheetah, and at the same time swung a punch, hitting Despo's arm with great force. The punch was so powerful, like a cannonball hitting the target. Tispo felt pain, and the severe pain in his arm made his body tremble slightly, but he had no intention of retreating. Instead, he took advantage of the gap when Frieza retracted his fist, turned around like a nimble fox, and used his knee to hit Frieza's abdomen. Frieza quickly blocked it with his arm, and the scales on his arm were slightly dented, making a crisp sound, as if they would break at any time. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent arena, making people sweat for their fierce battle.

The battle between Ikaros and Gohan was in a stalemate. Both sides used all their strength, like two beasts in a bitter fight, neither of them was willing to give up easily, but it was hard to tell who would win. Ikaros was anxious, and his attacks became more and more crazy, and his flaws occasionally appeared. Frieza keenly caught Ikaros's flaws, just like a hunter discovering the weakness of his prey. He shouted to Gohan: "Gohan, now!" Gohan understood and instantly condensed a powerful Kamehameha.

"Kame-pai-ki-gong!" Gohan roared, his voice resounding throughout the entire arena, shaking everyone's eardrums like thunder, as if to shake the entire arena. A column of energy like a torrent spurted out from his hands, like an angry roaring dragon, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, and rushed straight towards Ikaros with endless power. Wherever the energy column passed, the air was instantly ignited, emitting a dazzling light, as if a small sun exploded in the arena, the light was even impossible to look directly at, as if it was going to swallow up the entire arena and turn everything into ashes.

Just when Kamehameha was about to hit Ikaros, Tispo smiled a classic villain smile, which was full of cunning and insidiousness, and instantly launched a sneak attack at super light speed. His figure was so fast that it was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. Like a purple phantom, he instantly appeared behind Gohan, as silent as a ghost. Because Gohan used Kamehameha with all his strength, it was difficult for him to return to defense quickly.

"It's not that easy to win!" Tispo laughed strangely, and that laugh was like the cry of a night owl, which made people shudder. At the same time, he swung a punch, with a whistling sound, and hit Gohan's back heavily like a cannonball. Gohan groaned, and staggered forward a few steps. The energy column of Kamehameha also deviated in direction, brushing against Ikaros' body and hitting the ground on the side of the stadium, causing a violent explosion, rubble flying, dust flying, as if a small earthquake broke out in the stadium, and the whole stadium was shaking.

When Frieza saw Gohan being attacked, his eyes became stern, like a cheetah discovering danger. He quickly condensed a golden energy ball with his hands. The energy ball emitted a dazzling light, like a small sun, and threw it towards Despo. "Damn it, don't be so arrogant!" Frieza shouted angrily. However, Despo used his super speed to dodge the energy ball as lightly as the wind. The energy ball exploded not far away, and the dazzling light and powerful air waves hit the surroundings, as if to destroy everything around. The light illuminated the corner of the entire stadium, and the air waves lifted the sand and stones on the ground, forming a small sandstorm.

Ikaros took the opportunity to adjust his state, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, and rushed towards Gohan again. Gohan steadied himself, turned around to face Ikaros and Tispo, his eyes firm and fearless, like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable. At this time, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more tense, like a fully drawn bowstring that could break at any time. The battle fell into a more anxious state. All three parties went all out, and no one dared to relax. A more thrilling contest continued...
