Whoosh!

The moment the battle began, Kebi immediately vanished with Instant Transmission.

At his age, there was no way he dared get caught in a fight between monsters like these.

One stray hit and he would die instantly.

Zorvak let out a roar.

"Attack together!"

At once, the Mashet Race boy and girl behind him made their move, flanking Caelum from both sides with speeds nearly indistinguishable from teleportation itself.

So fast the naked eye could barely follow.

Bang! Bang!

The two appeared beside Caelum in an instant.

Caelum remained completely still.

Two deafening impacts rang out as he casually blocked both attacks with one hand each.

No matter how much force they used, they could not move him even slightly.

There was simply no way two fighters with 150 million battle power could shake someone at 300 million.

But they were not just two opponents.

There were three.

Zorvak clearly understood the difference in strength between them.

He had no prideful nonsense about one on one duels.

Without fighting together, they had zero chance against Caelum.

A violent gust approached.

Zorvak teleported behind Caelum and slammed down a heavy strike without hesitation.

At that very instant...

Caelum moved.

With even greater speed, he blasted the Mashet boy and girl away first, then turned and kicked Zorvak aside.

From the very beginning, he displayed overwhelming dominance.

Three clusters of light burst from the trio simultaneously.

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

[Obtained Technique: Instant Transmission]

[Learn?]

[Learned]

...

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

...

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

...

"This brat is ridiculously strong!"

Zorvak’s jaw throbbed with pain.

Caelum’s kick had nearly shattered it.

Even so, he showed no fear.

If anything, his fighting spirit burned hotter.

The three halted themselves midair, their blazing auras surging violently enough to sweep across the planet below.

Then...

Three brilliant flashes erupted.

Three energy blasts converged toward Caelum from different directions.

And then...

BOOM!

Caelum casually raised one hand.

Two fingers extended upward before him.

A violent pressure field instantly expanded outward, engulfing the trio.

"Hah!"

With a single shout from him...

The pressure field exploded skyward like a massive pillar of energy.

An unstoppable torrent swallowed Zorvak and the others, launching them into space like a waterfall flowing upward.

Then...

Hum!

Caelum spread both hands.

The next second, countless massive energy spheres erupted from his palms and shot toward the trio at terrifying speed.

"Galactic Super Bombardment!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The entire region of space outside the planet became a sea of exploding fireballs.

Wild energy storms swept through the void.

Several barren planets struck by stray blasts were instantly reduced to cosmic dust.

The attack lived up perfectly to its name.

Like a meteor shower, the Super Bombardment rained down relentlessly upon the trio.

Zorvak and the others were blasted senseless all the way to the planet’s moon.

The explosions followed them there.

Naturally, the moon itself did not survive.

It shattered apart into countless fragments, finally revealing the battered forms of the three Mashet warriors.

They looked utterly miserable.

As a spacefaring race, the Mashet Race could survive in outer space naturally.

The vacuum environment suited them perfectly.

Using ki to communicate in the void, Zorvak wiped blood from his mouth and grimaced.

"This bastard is way too strong. Three against one and we’re still getting crushed."

The Mashet boy and girl behind him exchanged glances before nodding simultaneously.

"At this rate we’ll die."

"Zorvak, use that technique!"

"Fine!"

Zorvak made the decision immediately.

The situation was desperate.

There was no time for hesitation.

If they wanted to survive, they had to use their ultimate trump card.

Back on the planet...

Caelum pressed two fingers against his forehead.

After locking onto the trio’s ki signatures in space, his body vanished instantly.

Not high speed movement.

Not afterimage techniques.

True Instant Transmission. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A technique he had just acquired from Zorvak moments earlier.

As long as he could sense a target’s ki, he could cross cosmic distances instantly.

No matter how far away the target was.

The travel time was always instantaneous.

Just as the trio prepared to unleash their mysterious technique...

Caelum suddenly appeared beside them.

In the blink of an eye, he smashed each of them with a heavy blow.

Then followed up by firing energy blasts point blank into their faces.

Blood sprayed across the stars as Zorvak stared in disbelief.

"Instant Transmission?!"

Then...

Caelum flickered repeatedly through space.

It was almost as if he had split into three bodies at once.

Using Instant Transmission continuously, he attacked all three from different positions simultaneously.

The trio had absolutely no room to fight back.

More and more clusters of light burst out from them.

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

[Obtained Bloodline: Mashet Cells]

[Fuse?]

[Fused]

...

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

[Obtained Ability: Assimilation]

[Keep?]

[Kept]

...

The instant the Mashet Cells fused into Caelum’s Ultimate Cells, his body paused briefly.

Then his power exploded upward once more.

His battle power surged directly from 300 million to 400 million.

Zorvak’s eyes widened.

Feeling Caelum’s strength rise yet again, a chill shot straight through his scalp.

Pure terror crept into his bones.

Taking advantage of the brief moment while Caelum fused the Mashet Cells, the trio seized their chance.

Zorvak roared.

"Now!"

At once, all three unleashed their strongest ki.

Under a mysterious force, their energies rapidly linked together.

The moment the three Mashet warriors’ ki merged...

The cosmos trembled.

The other two Mashet warriors transformed entirely into pure energy before pouring directly into Zorvak’s body.

Zorvak’s aura exploded upward violently.

Assimilation.

The Mashet Race’s ultimate technique.

This very ability was why Kebi had chosen them as the core force for conquering the galaxy.

And it was this technique that inspired Kebi to later create the Fusion Technique.

Assimilation and Fusion Technique differed greatly.

Assimilation could only be performed by Mashet Race members.

And while its power boost was weaker than Fusion Technique...

It possessed one terrifying advantage.

As long as the participants’ power levels were close enough...

There was no limit to the number of people who could assimilate together.

That was the true horror of the Mashet Race.

And exactly why the previous North Kai had attempted to exterminate them completely.

If Zorvak’s trio had not used Assimilation to become one at the final moment back then, the previous North Kai would never have been forced to seal them away instead.

Had even one of them been isolated...

The Mashet Race would have been wiped out long ago.

The Mashet Cell fusion completed.

Sensing Zorvak’s rapidly increasing power, Caelum unleashed his own full strength without hesitation.

"Second Form!"

"Thirtyfold Burst Technique!"
