Then—
Aishi's figure vanished on the spot.
Only an afterimage remained.
The next moment, he appeared right in front of Cell.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Aishi looked at Cell calmly.
"What?!"
"So fast!"
Cell's expression changed dramatically.
He had appeared out of nowhere—without a single sign.
How was that different from a ghost?
"Y-You… what are you trying to do?"
Cell staggered backward, his body trembling as he spoke.
Those two punches from Aishi…
Had made him fully realize how small he truly was.
He couldn't help but fear him.
Was this what it meant to have his dream of invincibility shattered in just two punches?
"Obviously—to kill you."
Aishi replied coldly and then shot out like a blur.
Sliding Judgment!
——Boom! Boom!
The next moment—
Aishi appeared above Cell and delivered two powerful knee strikes directly to Cell's head.
Thud! Thud!
Two dull, heavy sounds rang out.
Cell's face caved in from the impact.
His body was knocked backward uncontrollably.
Then Aishi flashed again, appearing behind Cell.
——Bang!
Another punch landed in Cell's waist, sinking deep into it.
"Urgh…!"
"AAARGH…!"
"H-How is this possible?!"
Cell's pupils dilated wildly, bile surging from his throat.
His spine—shattered!
And that wasn't the end. Aishi kicked him flying, then instantly appeared above, clasped his hands together, and smashed Cell into the ground.
——RUMMMBLE!
After this barrage—
Cell could no longer hold out.
An overwhelming nausea swept over his body.
"Blaargh!"
His pupils shrank. Even his lips stretched unnaturally.
A thick, white liquid surged up his throat—and along with it, a figure came flying out.
No.17!
The moment 17 was vomited out, Cell's energy plummeted drastically!
His form reverted back to his first form.
At this point, probably anyone present could easily beat him!
Seeing that 17 had been retrieved, Aishi decided not to hold back anymore.
He brought both hands to his waist in the shape of a blooming flower and muttered in a low voice:
"Kamehameha!" (Turtle Destruction Wave)
——BOOM!!
"N-No… please don't!!"
"I surrender… don't… don't kill me!!"
Cell looked in horror at the incoming Kamehameha.
But soon—
As the energy wave collided—
His voice faded.
His figure disintegrated and vanished!
Not far away—
"S-So strong!!"
Krillin looked on, stunned and terrified.
He had seen the entire fight—and was utterly shocked.
There were no fancy techniques—just sheer stat crushing!
This guy's power level was monstrous!
Krillin patted his chest, thankful he hadn't provoked him earlier.
Nearby—
Trunks was just as stunned.
"Aishi is insanely strong… and this is just his base form!!"
He hadn't forgotten—Aishi was a Saiyan!
He couldn't even imagine…
If Aishi transformed into a Super Saiyan, how strong would he become?!
Vegeta slowly snapped out of his shock, took a deep breath and said, "I have to fight him!"
Trunks froze, then tried to dissuade him, "Dad, maybe don't?"
"Aishi's not someone we can handle…"
Vegeta snorted coldly, "Stupid boy, have you no Saiyan pride? So what if he's strong?"
"I, Super Vegeta, am not necessarily weaker!"
With that, Vegeta flew toward Aishi.
Leaving Trunks alone in silence.
Meanwhile, Aishi had walked toward 17 after dealing with Cell.
"17! 17!"
No.18 was shaking the unconscious 17 in panic.
"Aishi, is he okay?!"
"He's fine. Just fainted. A bit of healing will fix it."
Aishi replied.
Saying that, he extended one hand toward 17.
In 18's gaze—
A warm green healing light flowed out from his palm.
——Hummmm!
In just a few seconds—
17 opened his eyes and sat up with one hand on the ground.
He looked around in confusion.
"That's great!"
"Thank you, Aishi!"
No.18 stepped forward and hugged Aishi tightly, full of gratitude.
"Huh?"
17 was stunned, looking immediately at Aishi.
Who… was this guy?
Everyone knew—
Men and women weren't supposed to be so close.
Unless… they were dating?
So this guy was…
Brother-in-law?!
What the hell?!
What happened while he was being absorbed?
How did he suddenly gain a brother-in-law?
17 was completely shocked, but he respected his sister's choice.
"Hello, you are…?"
"Hello, I'm Aishi," Aishi replied with a smile.
"Oh~"
"I hope you'll treat my sister well!" 17 said seriously.
"Mm-hmm, I will!" Aishi nodded.
Only then did 17 grin and smile.
"Damn it, what are you two even talking about?!"
No.18's face turned red as she yelled in embarrassment.
"17! I was so worried about you!"
"You heartless jerk! How dare you sell me out like this?!"
17 looked startled and quickly flew away, "What did I do?!"
18 chased after him, "Big mouth!"
As the two disappeared into the distance—
Aishi turned to look at Vegeta.
Vegeta stood with arms crossed, quietly watching him.
"You really want to fight me?"
Aishi asked once more.
"Hmph. Of course!"
"Use your full power. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
Vegeta scoffed.
"Full power?"
Aishi raised an eyebrow slightly.
His full power?
Interesting.
"Alright."
Aishi's gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Haaaaaaah…"
A deep growl rose from his throat.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing the rising aura.
——Whoosh!
Golden ripples began to spread from Aishi's feet, gradually rising into a glowing aura.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The jet-like golden flame shot skyward, piercing through the clouds.
It was awe-inspiring.
Aishi's hair and eyebrows instantly turned gold.
A brilliant, gleaming gold.
His eyes sharpened, becoming even more piercing.
An invisible pressure slowly spread around him—one filled with power and confidence.
"Y-You're kidding, right?!"
Vegeta's pupils shrank, stumbling over his words.
Unbelievable!
That aura—it was like a vast ocean, and he was just a little boat…
That could be overturned at any moment!
Strong.
So strong!!
Elsewhere—
Trunks and Krillin, watching from afar, were completely speechless.
Krillin muttered, "He's too strong… I don't think even Goku could beat him."
"Where the hell did this Aishi come from?!"
Trunks nodded, his face tense. "Yeah. He's really strong. Just his aura alone makes it hard to breathe…"
"I just hope he's not a bad guy…"
