Chapter 23 Intense Conflict: Son Goten VS Mora!
Chapter 23 Intense Conflict: Son Goten VS Mora!
Picking up where we left off, after Bass transforms into the demon Mora, he unleashes a new technique called the Clone Technique. However, because each clone has its own thoughts, they start fighting amongst themselves. To prevent further infighting, Mora asks Goten for help. Finally, under Goten's guidance, they unite and issue a challenge to Goten...
After a brief moment of silence, the four Goten warriors still bravely faced the challenge and began their battle against Mora's group of five. However, due to being one person behind, each Goten warrior was frequently ambushed by Mora's extra members.
After Goten and his three friends were knocked back together once again, they huddled together to discuss tactics. Seeing this, Mora tried to imitate them by gathering her clone Mora. However, the group remained silent for a long time, leaving the host, who was trying to eavesdrop, speechless.
So the host went to Goten's side, but Goten's side had already finished discussing their tactics, which infuriated the host.
Goten and his four companions paired up and changed positions, their speed increasing rapidly, dazzling the audience. Suddenly, the four of them scattered, and the five members of the Mora group quickly took turns protecting the main body in the center.
Goten and his three companions began circling, continuously firing energy blasts at Mora on the outer perimeter. Faced with Goten's fierce onslaught, Mora could only cross her arms to defend against the continuous attacks, while the main body in the middle observed Goten's movements.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Mora's eyes. He leaped into the air and stretched out his hands to grab the ring. However, when the dust cleared, he hadn't grabbed anything and his hands were stuck on the ring, unable to get out.
Mora calmly said, "Failure... I can't... help me."
The audience couldn't help but boo – "Whoa!"
Meanwhile, Goten 4 seized the opportunity to separate the remaining four. Goten 1 fired a Ki Blast at the Red Demon, successfully scattering him. Goten 2 used Wolf Fang Fist on the Blue Demon, and the fierce combo successfully eliminated the Blue Demon, causing him to dissipate.
Wutian No. 3 then gathered a Qi Yuan Slash in each hand, shouted, "Qi Yuan Double Slash!" and threw it out, instantly killing the Yellow and Black Demons.
Goten #4 looked at Mora, who was still trying to pull her hand out, and was exasperated by this idiot. However, not wanting to take advantage of her vulnerability, Goten still stepped forward to help her pull her hand out.
After the opponent returned to the arena, Goten also recalled his other clones. Seeing this, Mora said, "Watch my... new... special move." After saying that, she raised her hands to the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. The lightning gathered and smashed into Mora's hands. After the power was fully charged, Mora's hands were obviously enchanted, and the electricity crackled on her hands.
After completing the enchantment, Mora immediately attacked Goten. Goten dodged two punches in succession. Seeing the terrifying power of Mora's Lightning Fist hitting the ground and sparking, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't imagine the agony if he were hit.
Seeing her attack miss, Mora suddenly had a plan. She quickly stretched out one hand to grab Goten, and just as Goten dodged, she fired an energy blast at him. As Goten crossed his arms to block the blast and his vision was obscured by the smoke, Mora decisively reached out her other hand and grabbed him in one swift motion. The electricity in her hand instantly made Goten howl in pain.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Mora immediately grabbed Goten and pulled his hands back, then dragged Goten in front of her and unleashed a series of lightning punches. The electric current from each punch paralyzed Goten's body for a while, putting him in a passive and vulnerable position.
In the audience, Bulma anxiously shouted for Goten: "Goten, what are you doing? Fight back now!"
Trunks, standing nearby, joked, "Oh dear, Goten is no match for me. If I were in that situation, I could easily knock him out."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta immediately picked up where Trunks left off: "Oh—if that's what you think, then after the match, why don't you just invite that guy to have a match with you too?"
Trunks: "Seriously, bring it on, I'm not afraid of him at all."
Back in the ring, Goten, whose hair was standing on end from the electric shocks, was almost falling off. Thinking about how he had boasted, he couldn't let himself become a laughingstock. So, a surge of inexplicable anger rose within him, and he unleashed a burst of energy that sent Mora flying.
Goten, with one foot already on the edge of the ring, looked at Mora with lingering fear and said seriously, "From now on, I'm going to get serious. Be prepared!"
At this moment, Goten, whose aura surged, unleashed his full speed and power, instantly moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. He relentlessly pounded Mora with heavy punches, giving her no chance to retaliate. He followed up with a sweeping leg kick and a powerful kick, sending Mora flying into the air, and then followed up with a series of gravity kicks in mid-air.
Goten, who delivered another powerful punch to Mora's abdomen in mid-air, immediately slammed her back onto the stage. Then, he gathered Kamehameha energy in both hands, shouted "Kamehameha!" and unleashed it with all his might, striking Mora directly and shattering the stage into dust.
The audience, including Videl who was watching the match, were all stunned by the sight of Goten who had destroyed the ring. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Kid, did you kill that guy?"
Goten stared at the arena with a serious expression, then suddenly shouted, "Mora, come out here! I know you're still alive!"
As expected, with Goten's shout, Mora flew out of the pit and reached the same height as Goten. She said coldly, "So powerful... I... have no choice but to... risk... my life to defeat you... For... Moz, I am willing to... give... anything..." As she spoke, tears actually flowed from her eyes.
Goten was instantly shocked when he saw this. He never expected that the demon Mora would shed tears for Moz. This made Goten's heart waver, but he quickly regained his resolve and said coldly, "Although I don't know what kind of determination you have for that bastard, I only know that I can't lose now. I still need to move towards a stronger stage, so no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, I will not lose. I will still go all out from now on!"
Mora didn't say anything more, but suddenly plunged her hands into her stomach and ripped open a gash. The host was shocked and tried to dissuade her, saying, "Bass... no, Mora, what are you doing? It's not worth it. It's just a match."
Seeing Mora's frantic actions, the staff rushed to Satan's waiting room, banging on the door and shouting, "Mr. Satan! Please stop Mora quickly, or there will be casualties!"
Satan was a little scared when he heard this, but he remembered that there were still audience members and the child was still there. He couldn't lose face as the world champion, so he mustered up his courage, pushed open the door, and ran quickly towards the venue.
(What kind of move is Mora about to use to suddenly self-harm...? What will World Champion Satan do to save the world? Will Goten be able to stop Mora? And who will win the World Martial Arts Tournament?)
