Chapter 38 God vs. Piccolo
Thus, the four finalists of this martial arts tournament have been determined: Goku, Chi-Chi, Piccolo, and Shin.
After confirming that all four had recovered their strength, the host announced that they would draw lots to form groups.
The first match was between Piccolo and Shin, the incarnation of the god.
At the World Martial Arts Tournament, the audience was eagerly anticipating the final four showdown.
For Shang Yun, the odds were higher in the semi-finals, so he went to the betting market to place his bets. However, this time, Lan Fang, who had been keeping an eye on Shang Yun, saw it.
Lanfang followed behind Shangyun and was quite surprised to see him arrive at the gambling den with his face covered, placing bets. She hadn't expected Shangyun to gamble so secretly. Unable to contain her curiosity, Lanfang quickly went up to ask him.
Left with no other choice, Shang Yun had to tell Lan Fang about Qi Qi and Sun Wukong, as well as the purpose of the gambling, and instructed Lan Fang not to make a fuss so as not to affect their marriage.
After learning about Sun Wukong and Qiqi's story, Lanfang visibly breathed a sigh of relief and felt very embarrassed for her previous distrust of Shangyun. So she took out all her savings and placed a bet with Shangyun.
When the two returned to the competition venue, the host had already announced the start of the competition.
Piccolo stood coldly in the ring, his eyes filled with confidence and arrogance, as if the entire arena was under his control. He wore a black combat suit, his green skin standing out under the lights, and his white cape fluttered gently in the breeze, giving off a powerful and imposing aura.
On the other side, the celestial being, in his mortal body, appeared ordinary, yet his eyes revealed a profound wisdom and unwavering conviction. He stood quietly opposite Piccolo, radiating an aura of mystery. The moment the referee announced the start of the match, the entire arena fell silent, all eyes fixed on the two fighters.
After the match began, neither Piccolo nor Kami rushed to attack. Instead, they moved slowly around the ring, observing each other's movements and weaknesses. Piccolo launched a simple energy wave attack first, attempting to test Kami's reaction ability. The energy wave shot towards Kami like lightning, but Kami calmly dodged it with a sidestep. Kami then retaliated with an energy wave, which Piccolo also easily avoided.
During this initial probing phase, both fighters moved with incredible speed, their figures flashing left and right across the ring, dazzling the audience. The spectators could only see two figures constantly blinking and moving, unable to discern their specific actions. Piccolo's expression gradually turned serious; he realized that Kami was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined. Kami, meanwhile, was secretly amazed by Piccolo's strength, knowing this battle would be extremely difficult.
After a brief period of probing, the two began a truly fierce battle. Piccolo unleashed his immense power, launching a barrage of punches and kicks at Kami. Each of his attacks was powerful and incredibly fast, seemingly designed to defeat Kami instantly. Kami, however, skillfully dodged Piccolo's attacks using his superior fighting techniques and agility, counterattacking at opportune moments.
The God's counterattacks, though seemingly simple, were all perfectly timed, effectively blocking Piccolo's attacks. His punches and kicks contained immense power, colliding with Piccolo's attacks with deafening roars. The entire ring trembled during their fight, as if it might collapse at any moment.
In this phase of the battle, Piccolo gradually gained the upper hand. His attacks became increasingly fierce, and Kami began to struggle to defend himself. A smug smile appeared on Piccolo's face; he believed he was about to defeat Kami. However, Kami did not give up; he continued to search for Piccolo's weakness, preparing to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, Piccolo unleashed his newly mastered skill—a technique that allowed him to enlarge his body. His body rapidly expanded, instantly becoming enormous, like a small mountain standing on the ring. Every movement he made carried immense power, and deep cracks appeared beneath his feet. The audience was stunned by this sight, gasping in amazement.
After Piccolo grew larger, Kami appeared even smaller. His attacks had almost no effect on Piccolo, whose enormous size made his defenses even stronger. Kami began to struggle, constantly dodging Piccolo's attacks, but he was starting to feel the strain. Piccolo seized the opportunity to launch an even more ferocious attack, his fists slamming into Kami like boulders, which Kami could only barely defend himself with his hands.
Just when Piccolo thought he was about to win, Kami suddenly found an opportunity. When Piccolo attacked again, Kami cleverly used Piccolo's strength to deflect his attack aside, then quickly closed in on Piccolo's body and launched a series of rapid attacks. Kami's attacks rained down on Piccolo, catching him off guard.
Piccolo's enormous size became a disadvantage at this moment; his movements became sluggish, making it impossible for him to dodge Kami's attacks in time. Kami's counterattack inflicted some damage on Piccolo, and an angry expression appeared on his face. Piccolo tried to launch another attack, but Kami had found his weakness and relentlessly attacked it.
After a fierce battle, the two reached a stalemate. Piccolo's body had returned to its normal size, and he stood panting in the ring, his eyes filled with resentment. Celestial was also somewhat tired; his breathing became rapid, but his eyes remained resolute.
At this point, the two communicated in an alien language.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise, "He is...he is a celestial being! No wonder he is so powerful!"
When everyone inquired about the reason, Shang Yun helped explain the relationship between the two. Everyone suddenly understood. When Yamcha heard that "Shen" was the incarnation of the God, he put aside his grudges and regained his fighting spirit and confidence.
After learning Kami's true identity, Piccolo laughed, "You old god, you can't possibly destroy me! Because if I die, you won't live either!" Kami remained silent. He knew Piccolo was right, but he couldn't let Piccolo do as he pleased. Their conversation left the audience quite confused, unsure of the true nature of their relationship.
After a brief exchange, the two resumed their final duel. Piccolo concentrated all his power, preparing to unleash his strongest attack. A powerful energy glow emanated from his body, like a miniature sun. Kami also sensed Piccolo's immense power and, in turn, concentrated his own strength to meet Piccolo's attack.
Piccolo roared and unleashed his energy wave at Kami. Kami countered with a powerful energy wave from both hands, colliding with Piccolo's. The collision of the two energy waves created a massive explosion, engulfing the entire arena in a blinding light. The audience covered their eyes, unable to bear the intense light.
After the explosion, the ring was a mangled mess, and both Piccolo and Celestial lay on the ground. The referee began the count, and both struggled to their feet. Piccolo finally rose first, but he was already severely injured. Celestial managed to stand up just as the referee counted down to the last second. The fight ended in a draw, but both knew that the battle was far from over.
