Chapter 296: Chapter 13: John VS Moro
The surroundings held their breath seeing Moro's first strike missed, fearing they might disrupt the battle between John and Moro.
After standing back-to-back for a dozen seconds, John and Moro suddenly burst into battle.
This time, John did not transform, neither to Super Saiyan Blue nor to Ultra Instinct, but fought Moro in his normal state.
Their battle was even more intense than the battles between Goku, Vegeta, and Moro.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The intense collision sounds spread out, the deafening sounds echoed through the heavens.
The two figures moved from east to west, sometimes above, sometimes below.
At this point, only a few people like Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan could catch the forms of John and Moro exchanging blows.
Goku said to Vegeta, "Is John really this strong in his normal state? It seems, as he said, we should focus on improving our power in our normal state for the future."
Vegeta also looked serious. He thought that after training on Planet Yardrat for two months, his power would greatly increase, but he didn't expect John to improve even more.
"Bang!" John seized an opening and punched Moro directly in the face.
Moro was knocked flying.
Then John used the Prince's Battle Technique, sending countless ki blasts towards Moro.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The ki blasts collided with Moro, creating intense explosions.
John knew that the Prince's Battle Technique wouldn't have much effect on Moro; the dozens of ki blasts were just to disrupt Moro's judgment.
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Moro had crossed his arms in front of his face to block the attack, and was not significantly harmed.
But John had disappeared from in front of Moro.
"Where?" Moro began looking around, but couldn't find any trace of John.
"Above!" Seeing no sign of John around or below, Moro immediately looked up but still couldn't find John.
At this moment, Moro suddenly felt uneasy and tried to dodge, but it was too late; John slashed down with his hand like a knife, aiming for Moro's head.
Moro's sharp senses saved him. He dodged his head, but one of his horns and an arm were sliced off by John.
While the horn was not a big deal, the arm being cut off caused blood to stain the sky.
Moro clutched his severed arm, enduring the pain, and asked John, "Why couldn't I sense your position?"
John replied, "I was just hiding behind you."
"I see," Moro realized John's strategy. The ki blasts were just to disrupt his judgment.
Moro roared loudly, and a new arm grew where the old one had been severed, but Moro's energy had also greatly decreased.
John noticed this and said, "I really forgot, that guy copied Piccolo's ability."
"What a troublesome ability," John said, Moro's horn didn't regenerate, as it had no significant impact on his power.
The two began fighting again. Moro's energy had decreased significantly due to regenerating his arm.
As the battle resumed, Moro was gradually overpowered by John.
Everyone watching got excited, feeling that John would surely defeat Moro this time.
Indeed, under John's attacks, Moro was gradually forced into a defensive state.
"Ha!" John instantly appeared in front of Moro and shot a powerful Kamehameha.
"Damn!" Moro was shocked to see John appear in front of him.
But it was too late, the powerful Kamehameha fired directly, blowing off half of Moro's body.
Moro fell from the sky to the ground.
"We won!" Everyone shouted loudly, celebrating and high-fiving.
Goku and Vegeta also smiled, thinking that although Moro wasn't dead yet, he was close.
John landed on the ground, looked at the half-bodied Moro, and said, "Moro, get up, I know you're not dead yet."
Hearing John's words, Moro stood up again, roaring, and regenerated the destroyed half of his body, but his energy was further reduced.
Moro looked at John and said viciously, "Do you think you've won now?"
"Isn't it so? You're at the end of your rope, what else can you do to defeat me?" John replied.
Moro raised a hand, and lava erupted from beneath his feet.
John saw this and realized Moro was trying to escape, so he rushed towards him.
However, Moro had already disappeared from Earth.
"Where did he go?" John quickly looked around and sensed Moro's presence in his spaceship above.
At the same time, the energy of the Galactic Prison's prisoners on the spaceship began to disappear rapidly.
To prevent Moro from escaping, John fired a Kamehameha, destroying the spaceship.
When the dust cleared, only Moro remained on the spaceship; the rest of his comrades had vanished.
John asked, "What did you do to those prisoners?"
Moro grinned menacingly, "What else? They provided me with energy, that was their last and greatest use."
"You're quite ruthless," John said.
Moro was surprised and said, "You shouldn't be this naive. In this universe, who doesn't look out for themselves? How do you think I survived this long? Because I'm ruthless."
"I'm going to be even more ruthless now. I'll not only kill you but also wipe out Earth!" Moro shouted.
Moro then looked down and saw Android 18, saying, "That beautiful woman is your wife, isn't she?"
Hearing Moro's words, John was startled and asked, "What are you planning?"
"I'll make you experience the pain of losing a loved one!" Moro said, then rushed towards Android 18, moving faster than before.
