Capítulo 89: Chapter 89: Annihilation
The Earth-Shattering Palm of All Nations, a unique technique from Master Roshi, is rarely seen in the Dragon Ball saga. Unlike the commonly used Kamehameha Wave or the passed-down Evil Containment Wave, it's one of Master Roshi's signature moves.
The technique's limited transmission is due to its inherent limitations, similar to the Evil Containment Wave. Firstly, it cannot be effectively used against significantly stronger opponents, as its effectiveness would be greatly reduced or even nullified. Secondly, it's not a burst attack but a continuous output of lightning attribute, converting qi into powerful electric currents to damage the enemy. Missing a target can lead to significant qi depletion.
However, the Earth-Shattering Palm has its advantages. It's a powerful control ability; once the opponent is hit, escaping in a short time without significantly increasing their power is difficult. Additionally, the electric damage it causes to the body is more severe than a regular Kamehameha Wave, attacking every inch of the enemy's body, making it ideal for complete annihilation.
Facing Mrs. Gao, who could extend her dark energy and influence the environment, Robert felt this technique was the most appropriate method to counter her. Sensing something amiss, Mrs. Gao reacted quickly, but her derived dark energy was somewhat cumbersome, as it wasn't her own power and hard to control like an extension of her body.
"Zzzzzz!"
Ultimately, the Earth-Shattering Palm's powerful electric current struck Mrs. Gao, spreading instantly and firmly locking every inch of her body and power.
"Ah!!!!!" Mrs. Gao screamed miserably as the electric current continuously ravaged her body, and her dark energy gradually dispersed.
"Should I stab with the sword? Well, I might as well, considering I already planned to..." After increasing the power of the Earth-Shattering Palm, Robert looked down at the sword by his foot and mumbled. Kicking the sword, it flew straight towards the immobilized Mrs. Gao.
"Zzzzzz!"
"Crack, crack!"
Unexpectedly, the sharp sword wasn't as sturdy as Robert thought. It shattered upon encountering the powerful electric current of the Earth-Shattering Palm.
"Weapons are really unreliable!" Surprised, Robert shook his head and focused his qi towards Mrs. Gao.
"Zzzzzz!"
The powerful electric current swiftly eradicated Mrs. Gao's dark energy, revealing her true form. However, her true form didn't last long, as once the dark energy was erased, her body was too frail to withstand the Earth-Shattering Palm.
"Puff!" In an instant, a cloud of dust emerged within the electric current and gradually dissipated, marking the complete annihilation of Mrs. Gao.
"Sigh!" Robert exhaled deeply, retracting the Earth-Shattering Palm. It was undeniably draining, even more so than a charged Kamehameha Wave.
If he had used the Kamehameha Wave instead, it might not have resolved Mrs. Gao as effectively. While it could have blasted a large hole in her body, covering her entire darkened form would have required even more energy and caused more collateral damage, unlike the clean efficiency of the Earth-Shattering Palm.
Besides, who knew if Mrs. Gao had any other escape abilities? Escaping from a Kamehameha Wave would have been troublesome.
"Ssst!" After retracting the Earth-Shattering Palm, Robert released a Kamehameha Wave to clean the surrounding ground. Having been injured, he didn't want an enemy using his blood to emerge, given his experience with androids.
It wasn't fear of being surpassed by such creations but a slight discomfort with the idea. Moreover, the birth and fate of such artificially created lives are inherently tragic.
Unaware of the technological advancements of this world, but knowing about laser weapons, Robert felt it was better to be cautious.
"Swoosh!" After clearing the traces of the battle, Robert vanished from the spot and appeared beside Johnny and Susan.
The battle on Johnny's side ended much quicker than Robert's. After dispersing a wave of Black Shadow Blades, it became quiet.
Johnny mentioned encountering a few Black Shadow Ninjas, but they quickly vanished.
Unknown to Johnny, in the Holy Master's secret chamber, the Holy Master's eyes flickered with apprehension, not just towards Robert but also towards the Black Shadow Blades.
Summoning Black Shadow Ninjas wasn't the Holy Master's own ability. His initial reluctance to use them in collecting charms stemmed from not being their sole controller. If they were controlled by someone else, it would be a disaster for the Holy Master.
However, the emergence of the Black Shadow Blades made the Holy Master reconsider. He felt he should primarily rely on Valon, using the Black Shadow Ninjas as a secondary means to collect charms, and preferably avoid Robert.
With the Holy Master unable to move, neither Black Shadow Ninjas nor Valon's forces could do anything against Robert.
"The Rat Charm! Once I find it, I can break free from these constraints and employ more strategies..." Despite his frustration, the Holy Master had no better solution and continued urging Valon's side.
Valon, though reluctant to hand over the charms to the Holy Master, also wanted the Rat Charm.
Baron Strucker had sent the latest news: the initial five hundred test subjects had perished, but another five hundred were prepared. These new subjects were dying slower, and some could briefly control beastly powers.
Valon saw a video presented by Baron Strucker, featuring a Minotaur Warrior whose charge was as powerful as a speeding truck. If successful and mass-produced, a bright future beckoned Valon.
Thus, Valon intensified the search for the Rat Charm and, after talking with the Holy Master, successfully deployed the Black Shadow Ninjas. Valon believed their tracking skills would be as effective as their combat prowess.
