Dragon Ball Roshi

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With nearly nine million energy units at his disposal, Taro unleashed a full-powered kick.

In a fraction of a second, his leg, blazing like fire and swift as lightning, tore through the air, ripping the atmosphere apart. A violent gale erupted, tossing the Holy Mage and the crimson phoenix circling him into the chaotic wind currents. Their bodies, like paper in a storm, were dragged uncontrollably by the turbulence.

Yet, just as the power of Taro's kick peaked, he vanished as silently as he had appeared.

"This level of combat… it's terrifying..." The Holy Mage managed to stabilize himself in the raging winds and couldn't help but marvel. A mere kick created a disturbance that left him utterly defenseless. Such power was beyond comprehension.

But what about the enemy Taro was fighting?

If not for Taro… this planet would surely be at the mercy of destruction.

The Holy Mage's thoughts drifted to the prophetic dream that had haunted him. In that vision, their people were powerless against the two cosmic invaders, who slaughtered them without mercy.

The phoenix screeched mournfully beside him, its cries carrying a tragic undertone. Bound to Taro by blood and spirit, the bird could sense the immense strain Taro was enduring.

The Holy Mage's face darkened. Observing the battle through his spiritual perception, he had witnessed the fusion of the two alien invaders into a single entity—Gemini.

Though the mechanism of their union eluded him, the difference was glaringly evident: before their fusion, Taro had managed to wound them with ease. Afterward, they had fought evenly.

:They've become stronger." He realized.

His prophetic dream, fragmented and unclear, hadn't prepared him for this. Before Taro appeared, the dream had only hinted at a "Mu." The transformation of the enemy hadn't been evident either.

:Will the prophecy come true? Will Taro truly prevail?"

Doubt clouded the Holy Mage's heart. Though he lacked the strength to gauge the balance of power between Taro and Gemini, his intuition told him the fight was grueling. Taro hadn't spared even a glance in his direction, entirely consumed by the battle.

"Taro is our last hope. If he falls…"

The intensity of the clash eroded his faith in the vision. The future was unpredictable, and even the smallest shift could rewrite destiny. The overwhelming strength of their foe left no room for certainty.

At that moment, Taro, having vanished from the Holy Mage's sight, reappeared behind Gemini and delivered a devastating kick to the back of his head!

Breaking the conventions of battle, Taro's instantaneous movements defied logic, his attacks bypassing the constraints of space itself.

BAM!

Caught completely off guard, Gemini plummeted from the blow, his mind reeling. There had been no warning, no sensation of Taro's approach—just the sudden, bone-rattling strike.

Furious, Gemini roared. "Where is he?!"

But before he could react, another powerful punch sank into his abdomen, its force capable of shattering mountains.

The pale red Susanoo armor and the full power of the fortyfold ocular technique erupted simultaneously. Through teleportation, a full-powered punch delivered elsewhere was redirected directly onto Gemini!

Gemini was sent flying backward, disbelief written across his face. Taro's cold, indifferent expression after the punch lingered in his eyes, but his opponent's figure had already vanished once again!

Then, without warning, a strange attack descended from above!

Boom!

Gemini was struck downward again.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Gemini was like a massive sandbag, relentlessly battered mid-air by the teleporting Taro. Appearing and disappearing in an instant, Taro unleashed a storm of punches, elbows, and knees from every possible angle. Each blow crashed into Gemini's body, and the sound of flesh meeting force echoed through the skies like rolling thunder.

"Curse you!!" Gemini roared, channeling his energy to steady himself in midair. His hair whipped wildly, and he appeared utterly frenzied. Bloodshot eyes scanned for Taro's figure, but under the pale purple sky and over the desolate earth, Taro was nowhere to be found.

In the next instant, Gemini's head was severed!

A ki blade had sliced clean through his skull, tearing through the air to split it apart!

Yet, the severed head healed almost instantly. Just as before, when his right side had been obliterated, Gemini's regenerative abilities were formidable enough to recover from this type of injury with ease.

"Arghhhh!!"

Despite his recovery, Gemini was enraged to the point of madness. Veins bulged on his forehead as he let out a deafening roar. The air distorted violently under his rage, and with a buzz, a massive energy barrier erupted around him!

Boom!

Taro, clad in his pale red Susanoo armor, silently appeared out of nowhere. The ki blade he had already prepared slashed fiercely at Gemini's protective energy barrier!

The ki blade sliced into the barrier!

But it was stopped.

Through the searing heat of the barrier, Gemini glared at Taro with a sinister grin. "Die!!"

Boom!

The energy barrier transformed into a massive shockwave, blasting toward Taro, who had one hand pressed against it. Yet, in an instant, Taro disappeared once more, and the immense energy wave hit nothing but empty air!

"What kind of power is this? There's no way it's just his speed being too fast for me to track! That's impossible!" Gemini fumed, consumed by frustration. It felt like his strength, which should have easily crushed Taro, was useless—he couldn't even graze Taro's clothes!

A white figure shot out, launching a punch at Gemini's energy barrier!

"Die!!" Gemini retaliated with a punch of his own, his strike roaring like a dragon and carrying terrifying force as it collided with the oncoming figure!

Boom! The white figure disintegrated under the force of his punch!

"That wasn't him?! What is this thing?!" Gemini was stunned. The figure he had obliterated was humanoid, but it wasn't made of flesh and blood.

Taro's Ki Clone was all it had been… Meanwhile, the real Taro had already appeared on the other side. Eighteen ki-formed arms sprouted from his body, his cold gaze unwavering as countless fists rained down upon Gemini like a relentless storm.

Gemini unleashed his inner energy in a full-powered explosion!

Boom…

The massive blast sent Taro flying, his face covered in dust and his expression calm but weary. He was panting, sweat streaming down his face. Even with the Divine Tree Physique, the constant teleportations and full-force attacks had taken their toll.

Gemini's self-damaging technique had left him utterly exposed, his clothes obliterated. Completely naked, he sneered at Taro. "Tired, are we? Let's see how much longer you can keep up these tricks!"

He transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Taro with incredible speed, delivering a punch!

His fist, wrapped in searing energy, struck Taro hard. "Gah—" Taro spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flung backward. The pale red Susanoo armor trembled violently, showing signs of collapse.

The Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, like a bottomless abyss, drained Taro's mental strength at an alarming rate. His fatigue wasn't just physical—his mental strain had reached its peak. As he tumbled through the air, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, he finally stabilized himself, only to sense a surge of energy beside him!

Instinctively, Taro raised his arm to defend, but he was a moment too slow. Gemini's double-fisted hammer blow smashed into him with brutal force!

Agonizing pain surged through Taro's entire body!

He plummeted to the ground, crashing into the dense forest below. Boom! The impact carved a massive crater, and the force of the fall toppled towering trees in waves. The earth caved in layers around the crash site.

Taro's body sank deeper and deeper, over a hundred meters underground. He could feel the soil growing damp—if he fell any farther, he might hit the water table.

Lying at the bottom of the pit, the excruciating pain began to fade rapidly thanks to his Senju Physique, his stamina recovering at an impressive rate.

Taro's expression remained calm as he exhaled deeply. Though his eyes couldn't pierce through the hundred-meter-deep chasm to see the scene above, his senses told him that Gemini, radiating terrifying energy, was hurtling toward him with incredible momentum.

He deactivated the fortyfold ocular technique, focusing his refined mental energy. In an instant, his consciousness reached out toward a distant presence on the planet and connected with its owner.

"Unlock my potential for me… I know you've been studying this magic for the past ten years, haven't you?"

Ivan hesitated for half a second before responding mentally. "Must it come to this? You should know this magic isn't yet complete, and it could have adverse effects on your body!"

"That's my concern. Just cast the magic."

"… I'm sorry to have you face such an opponent. You were never meant to fight this battle."

"You're wrong. By choosing to study meditation with you, this battle was inevitable. The path we walk is ours alone, and if we regret it because of unfavorable outcomes… you underestimate me."

"Heh…" On the other end of the mental link, the Holy Mage seemed to sigh. "Very well… I'll begin."

***

Gemini descended like a meteor, his entire body wrapped in blazing energy. His palm extended downward, exuding a terrifying pressure that crushed the forest below. Trees collapsed in waves, and the ground beneath the crater began to sink again. Animals that hadn't escaped were instantly crushed into pulp, merging with the collapsing earth.

"Die!!"

Gemini roared, pouring all his power into a single downward strike. Even before it reached the ground, its destructive force was unimaginable!

In an instant, the strike connected!

The impact was akin to a meteor colliding with a planet. His palm struck the center of the crater with devastating force.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The overwhelming power tore through the earth, compressing it further. The crater expanded rapidly, now spanning several kilometers in diameter and sinking dozens of meters deep. At its center, it plunged over a hundred meters down.

It was as if a chunk of the continent had been gouged out.

Boom!

As the strike reached its peak, shockwaves rippled outward, pulverizing the surrounding rock and soil into fine dust. Fragments of debris shot into the pale purple sky, swirling chaotically.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Underground water finally broke through, flooding the crater.

And in the water, a massive white claw emerged, gripping Gemini's descending palm firmly. Slowly, it rose to the surface, revealing a young man with black hair. His eyes, adorned with tomoe within rippling patterns, gazed forward expressionlessly.
