Chapter 66: Gohanks, Three-Way Battle
"The fusion only lasts for 30 minutes. Let's make this quick and decisive!"
Gohanks clenched his fists and stared at the massive Slug.
Due to the sheer size difference between them, Gohanks' punch landed squarely on Slug's arm.
Slug didn't even flinch, completely ignoring Gohanks' attack. His massive arm swung down toward Gohanks.
"He's too big; I can't do any real damage..." Gohanks thought as he tried to distance himself from Slug.
But despite his enormous size, Slug's speed was no joke. Gohanks was struck directly and sent flying backward.
"Damn it..." Gohanks quickly leaped into the air and launched a barrage of energy waves at Slug.
This time, Slug reacted, but the attacks only caused him an itch at best.
To Slug, Gohanks was nothing more than an annoying fly. He waved his arms continuously, trying to catch him.
Forced into a corner, Gohanks drew the single-handed sword strapped to his back. "What do I do? How do I beat this giant?!"
"Take this!" Lin Qi interlocked his fists and delivered a heavy blow to Hirudegarn's abdomen.
Hirudegarn's body bent like a loaded spring before he was sent flying like a bullet.
"His combat strength isn't impressive, but man, he can sure take a beating! Is it because of magic?" Lin Qi muttered, scanning the battlefield.
Gohanks was still locked in combat with the mutated Slug. Tsk...
But wait—how did Gohan and Trunks even manage to fuse successfully? Are their power levels similar?
Well... considering how Gohan slacked off to become a scholar, it's not impossible that his power level regressed to match Trunks'...
Meanwhile, Towa and Chamel's fight was still unresolved. Lin Qi turned his attention to the sky, where Dark Demon God Evil Buu hovered menacingly.
"That bastard is waiting to swoop in and reap the benefits!"
"You're dead... I'll kill you..." From beneath the rubble of layered buildings and stones, Hirudegarn emerged once more.
"Tsk... I'm done playing with you!" Lin Qi's palm glowed faintly with a purple hue as Hirudegarn charged at him.
"Destruction!"
The faint purple energy seemed unremarkable, but the moment it touched Hirudegarn, his eyes widened in shock. "What... how..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his entire body dissolved into sparkling particles, scattering into the air.
It seems the God of Destruction's destructive energy is still the most convenient and effective!
"What?!" Towa and Chamel both turned their attention to this scene, exclaiming in shock.
In their moment of distraction, they failed to notice a dimensional black hole opening behind them. A hand emerged from the void, reaching for their backs.
Lin Qi had no intention of warning these two enemies, but Gohanks, ever the meddler, couldn't help but shout.
"Watch out!" Gohanks called out to Chamel.
Both Chamel and Towa reacted quickly. Without even turning around, they swiftly dodged the claws reaching from the black hole.
As Buu continued attacking with dimensional black holes, Lin Qi clenched his fists and glared at him. "You're next..."
"Damn it..." Towa gritted her teeth in frustration as Lin Qi charged toward Buu. How was she supposed to recover the two Dragon Balls and her brother Dabura now?
Just as Lin Qi evaded the black hole attacks and closed the distance to Buu, an unexpected event occurred.
"Secret Technique: Tornado!"
With a low growl, the entire area was engulfed in a massive, untraceable hurricane.
The violent winds lifted countless fragments of stone and dust from the ground, blinding everyone on the battlefield.
The tornado expanded rapidly, drawing the colossal Slug into its center. His massive figure disappeared as if blown away like smoke.
A man appeared, holding a Dragon Ball in his hand. "Heh... This is the true power of a Demon God!"
"What the hell?" Gohanks muttered in confusion, crossing his arms in front of him to shield against the violent winds.
"It's Salsa! Why is he here..." Chamel growled angrily, gripping her staff tightly.
"Stealing my target..." Lin Qi squinted, instantly teleporting in front of Buu.
But against the Demon God's magic...
Within the tornado, Buu's body was torn apart by the winds, disintegrating visibly.
In the blink of an eye, only two Dark Dragon Balls and an unconscious Dabura remained. Lin Qi didn't hesitate, reaching out to grab one of the Dark Dragon Balls.
Just as he was about to grab the second Dragon Ball, Towa's staff aimed at him. "Hand of Darkness!"
Black energy formed into claws, snatching the Dark Dragon Ball and Dabura.
One of the claws even reached for Lin Qi's arm, which held the Dragon Ball.
"Son of a..." Lin Qi cursed, realizing they were trying to rob him right under his nose.
Instinctively, he fired an energy wave at the claw, but it passed right through and flew off into the distance.
"Damn magic..." Lin Qi muttered in frustration. Dragon Ball fights were usually about physical combat, but magic was just a pain to deal with!
"Destruction!" Lin Qi used his other hand to unleash destructive energy, dissipating the dark claw in front of him.
Hmph, the God of Destruction's energy can suppress magic, can't it? Or maybe the sheer power of destruction overrides it?
Looks like I need to experiment more... What an annoying academic question!
"They're escaping..." Chamel pointed out as Salsa created a black hole and stepped into it.
The enemy had no intention of dragging out the fight!
"Hahaha... What a pity!" Towa, holding the two Dragon Balls and Dabura, followed Salsa into the temporal gate.
"..." Watching the black hole close and disappear, Lin Qi felt a rare sense of failure.
"Hey, you redhead, couldn't you have stopped them earlier?" Lin Qi asked Chamel with a look of disappointment.
"And aren't you a Demon God too? Couldn't you have done something instead of just watching?"
"Hmph, Salsa is the strongest under Mechikabura. What could I have done?" Chamel retorted shamelessly.
"Eh?" Gohanks lowered his hands, surveying the devastated battlefield. The massive Slug was nowhere to be seen.
"What about the Dark Dragon Balls?" Gohanks flew over to Lin Qi and Chamel, obliviously adding fuel to the fire.
"Here!" Lin Qi tossed the one Dragon Ball he had managed to grab to Gohanks.
"Only one?" Gohanks examined the black Dragon Ball in his hands. "It really is black..."
