Chapter 76.1 : Saving Earth
In the world of Gintama, Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura applauded at the same time.
"The art style suddenly seems off... Kagura, Gintoki, did that monkey run off with the Dragon Balls?" Shinpachi spat out.
Gintoki adjusted his nostrils, and a small booger popped out.
"I've told you before, call me Gintoki... Shinpachi, your new green look is a great match for Piccolo, truly praiseworthy!"
At that moment, Kagura approached Shinpachi and commented to his glasses:
"Excellent kiss! The details are spot on, the antennae and the head tentacles of Piccolo are just like the real thing."
"Enough! I am Shinpachi!" Shinpachi pointed to himself with a fierce expression.
Kagura squinted at Gintoki and whispered to herself: "Gin-chan, it seems Shinpachi's mount is mad at you."
"Hey, I can hear you!"
"Idiot, Kagura, you messed up again. I'm called Gintoki, not Gin-chan."
[One-Star Dragon's head was adorned with colorful ribbons, making him look comically absurd for a moment.]
[On the opposite side of him, five Gogeta stuck out their tongues simultaneously and made grimaces, as if to say, "What can you do to us?"]
[One-Star Dragon was trembling all over, feeling utterly embarrassed.]
[He was ready to face death, but instead, he found himself playing pranks like a child!]
"It's outrageous!"
"Counterattack, One-Star Dragon! Strike this formidable devil!" Boros exclaimed, tears welling up as he shouted in support.
At this very moment, the same sentiment resonated in the hearts of countless onlookers.
[Seeing One-Star Dragon's expression, Gogeta's smirk widened, and he playfully wagged his finger.]
"I'm disappointed. I thought you'd put up a fight."
"Go ahead. This time, I'll use only one finger."
Gogeta's words and gaze pricked at One-Star Dragon's heart, stoking a fiery rage within him.
One-Star Dragon's eyes revealed madness, and in the next moment, he puffed up his chest and roared hysterically.
"I will never be defeated!"
"All the evil dragons, lend me your power!"
[Energized by life force, all the Dragon Balls on One-Star Dragon emitted seven sinister red beams of energy into the sky.]
[At that moment, the sky turned a dark crimson, and the seven beams converged into an immensely colossal red sphere.]
[The malevolence and malefic energy it contained were enough to kill ordinary humans at a glance.]
Off-screen, many viewers squirmed in discomfort.
Their souls throbbed, and the sensation made them nauseous.
In the Shinigami world, Aizen's eyes displayed disgust.
If not for the video's protective mechanism, countless Shinigami and Hollows would likely crumble into oblivion!
[One-Star Dragon couldn't stop laughing. Even if he couldn't vanquish Gogeta, he could obliterate Earth.]
"If you enjoy pranks so much, play by yourself! The Earth and all of its life will perish!"
Gohan and the others, lying on the ground, pale-faced, realized that the situation seemed beyond salvation.
What was even more terrifying was that One-Star Dragon had compressed the immense energy sphere to a mere three-meter diameter.
It was evident that if it exploded, the entire Earth would be obliterated.
At this moment, One-Star Dragon laughed manically.
"This is the energy sphere condensed from the hatred of all the evil dragons from the past and the negative energy within the Seven Dragon Balls!"
"Join me in hell!"
[Boom!]
The entire space trembled violently, and the malevolent crimson energy sphere, brimming with ominous aura, began to descend slowly.
At the same time, having lost control of One-Star Dragon, the sphere expanded steadily.
Beneath the drowsy scarlet sky, strong winds, earthquakes, and tsunamis ravaged the Earth.
A nightmarish apocalypse unfolded!
And the sun, which could annihilate everything, began to set, as if marking a countdown.
[When the sphere made contact with the ground, it would be Earth's demise.]
"Haha, that's it! Blow up the Earth and annihilate everything, One-Star Dragon!"
Doflamingo laughed wildly, and this time, even an evil villain like him had become aware of the gravity of the situation.
Even in death, causing the Earth's destruction would be a victory.
"Everyone, run!"
Holding Pan, Gohan, Trunks, and the others quickly took to the skies.
At this moment, Uub, who had regained consciousness, crawled out of the ground and stared at the approaching cataclysm with a pallid face.
He didn't opt to flee because running was futile. As long as he remained on Earth, the outcome would be the same everywhere.
But then, he noticed a figure seated in the air, gazing at the energy sphere in the sky.
In the Pirate World, Sengoku couldn't help but feel that the man, though perhaps an illusion, didn't appear panicked at all. He seemed almost curious.
However, Sengoku quickly dismissed his own notion.
He believed the man might survive the explosion, but the Earth, from all appearances, was beyond salvation.
In the world of Fate, the snake, in human form, showed a wicked smile, and eight purple snakes coiled wildly behind him.
Destroying the planet was a joyous occasion, but he regretted not witnessing the despair in the eyes of countless humans.
A buzz reverberated in space, as if it might shatter at any moment.
And under the tremendous pressure of a collapsing sky, Gogeta froze. Then, a brilliant golden aura illuminated the skys.
In the next instant, Gogeta appeared beneath the energy sphere. Golden edges enveloped his form.
With a fierce roar, Gogeta kicked the energy sphere.
Destruction energy surged violently, but the sphere didn't explode; instead, it deformed like a ball.
Then, a sound akin to a broken mirror resonated in space, and the sphere soared into space like a kicked soccer ball.
Viewed from space, ripples became visible in Earth's atmosphere.
And after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles through the universe, that incomparably terrifying energy sphere exploded suddenly.
In the next moment, the entire solar system was bathed in light.
In the One Punch World, Boros returned to his seat, wearing an expression as if nothing had occurred. He even inquired with a smile about how far his subordinates had progressed toward Earth, showing remarkable composure.
In the world of Fate, Orochi's joyous smile froze, and eight purple snakes twisted behind him.
In the One Piece World, Doflamingo burst into tears. At his most exhilarating moment, Gogeta's kick almost made him hemorrhage internally.
Countless viewers were left in shock, unable to process the surreal events unfolding.
A high-pressure, terrifying energy sphere not only remained unexploded upon contact but was also kicked away.
It was an inexplicable sight.
Since Gogeta's arrival, the powerhouses of countless worlds had come to the realization that they were now akin to ordinary individuals.
Perhaps, as the red-haired man had stated, he had become omnipotent.
[One-Star Dragon gazed up at the sky, his moment seemingly frozen.]
[He was consumed by anger.]
[The ultimate card that he had clung to for mutual annihilation had not only been kicked away but had also dispersed the malevolent miasma shrouding the sky above Earth.]
In other words, he had been utterly defeated.
In the following moment, a brilliant light erupted.
Gogeta looked down at One-Star Dragon with pride, generating a powerful Ki wave with one hand.
"It's over, One-Star Dragon!"
The next instant, the fearsome blue energy engulfed One-Star Dragon.
Screams rang out, and six Dragon Balls were sent flying, crashing to the ground.
However, when the radiant energy dissipated, One-Star Dragon was not dead, but his body was charred and wretched.
One-Star Dragon trembled with fury, as if he were about to subject himself to a second torture.
Gogeta wore an embarrassed expression.
"Sorry, I underestimated you a bit. But I'll definitely finish you this time."
Numerous viewers nearly suffered heart attacks; it was undoubtedly an intentional act.
Thinking from another perspective, had he only been a One-Star Dragon, he would have collapsed long ago.
