The moment Mechikabura made his declaration, Dabura was the first to attack as he flew high up into the air, raising the Darkness Sword high and charging it with ki before swinging it down with a roar.
As he did so, Towa was already unleashing a flurry of ki blasts to cover her brother while I solidified the air around him and the attacks, watching as the Glind looked at us while his Third Eye looked directly at the Demon King.
It was just a split second later that my air barrier shattered as the Glind slapped away all of Towa's blasts with ease while his Third Eye glowed, an iridescent portal appearing in the ki slash's path before teleporting it directly at Towa and I.
However, I leaned out of the way of the attack before vanishing out of view, Mechikabura quickly raising an arm as I appeared by his side before delivering a spinning heel kick that he blocked.
He grunted as the attack rocketed him to the side, Towa already appearing behind him while twirling her sceptre before pointing it at him.
"Spear Shock!" Sparks of reddish-pink electricity appeared around her before she unleashed a storm of red and pink lightning at the Glind, who quickly spun around with a hand raised towards her.
A moment later, I appeared behind him and surprised him as I pinned his limbs to his body right as the lightning impacted us with a powerful explosion.
Mechikabura was quick to pull us through time-space before he ripped himself free, taking my arms and legs with him before he spun and delivered a powerful punch to my chest.
At least, that was what he expected to happen before his eyes widened while I grinned when I opened my chest and let his punch fall through.
Quickly pulling myself back together before he could pull away, I decided to be the most annoying person in the fight as I wrapped my severed limbs around his while regenerating my own before I wrapped myself entirely around him.
"Dabura!" I shouted and the man snorted before letting fly with a glob of spit that connected with my body, with me quickly tearing a chunk from my body and throwing it off to the side right as I felt my consciousness freezing entirely.
"Well…that was way too easy." Towa said with a slight frown and I snorted before pointing to the right, where Mechikabura looked both peeved and slightly disturbed as he ripped away the bits of my body still attached to him.
"Time Skip mixed with either Instant Transmission or Kai-Kai, right?" I asked with a smirk as I turned towards him, to which the Glind didn't answer as he took a deep breath before nodding.
"I see I've been underestim-!"
"Darkness Hand!" Towa didn't seem to care for his words as her magical power surged before numerous shadowy hands shot out of her aura and flew towards the Glind.
However, he scoffed as he unleashed a burst of energy that destroyed the hands right as Dabura appeared beside him.
Mechikabura didn't seem to be playing around anymore and I frowned while both Dabura and Towa looked surprised when black flames gathered around the man's arm before forming into a spear that he used to block his strike.
The heat alone of the flames warped the air and Dabura leapt back before I frowned as I saw the slight burns already on his face, quickly appearing in front of him and creating a ki blade before forcing him to block the stab at his face.
The Glind quickly pushed the stab to the side while spinning the spear around his back and slapping the back of it into my back, but I was quick to ignore the burning sensation of myself being cut in half as I simply divided my consciousness into two bodies.
"Special Beam Cannon!/ Death Beam!" The orange helix beam and the piercing purple beams sliced through the air and right through his body, but it was merely an illusion as the Glind appeared in front of me with his spear pulled back.
A grunt escaped my lips as he stabbed right through my chest, but I was quick to leap back and take the flaming spear with me before absorbing it into my body.
'Analyse. Adapt. Overcome.' I thought to myself as my body near began to attack him relentlessly while my second body began to analyse the flames, Towa and Dabura catching on as the two of them quickly helped the first body in drawing his attention away.
With both of us quickly creating a pair of short swords made of ki and black flames respectively, I pulled on the memories of the North Supreme Kai and parried his first right swing up to the sky while aiming my other sword for a stab to his heart.
However, he was quick to spin around my body and aimed a stab at my neck, to which I responded by severing my own head to dodge his strike before reattaching my head and spinning around with a whip kick.
Thankful for my body's ability to shapeshift as my leg snapped out like a whip and slammed into his flaming sword, the force of the attack was enough to knock him back and into the Dabura right as the Demon King charged forward.
Mechikabura was quick to spin around and block the Demon King's first downwards slash before floating backwards as Dabura tried to sneak in a kick, with me quickly charging in while Dabura raised his sword above his head.
The next moment, all three of us were frozen in place for a split second as red lightning rained down from the skies onto Mechikabura, the Glind in question and I quickly dispelling the Time Freeze spell that very same split second as he leapt to the side while I aimed a ki slash at where he went to.
To his credit, the Glind was able to not only nullify my attack with one of his own, but was also able to unleash a burst of the black flames that burned away Dabura's spit and Towa's numerous ki blasts from above.
"Damnit! We can't get close to him while he's using Hellfire!" Dabura shouted as he quickly delivered a rapid barrage of ki slashes while floating backwards, Mechikabura charging at him only to glare as I appeared in front of the Demon King and took the heavy slash to my chest.
"Then I'll keep tanking the blows! Find a way in!"
"Already did! Ready when you are!" I spoke to myself and grinned before nodding at my second body as I charged forward, Mechikabura on high alert as my body expanded out like a blanket before his eyes widened as numerous hands shot out and reached for him.
He was quick to unleash a tornado of Hellfire that burned off my limbs, but I grinned as I snorted before spitting out a glob of pink flesh overflowing with ki right through the tornado.
The next moment, his eyes widened as I grew out into a third body and detonated myself with a powerful explosion, sending him flying out of the flaming tornado right as the first body appeared behind him and wrapped his limbs around him.
"Kai Kai Matoru!" Instead of just sacrificing half of my magic like the Grand Supreme Kai did when he faced off against Moro, Mechikabura looked shocked when I focused all of my magic and even half of the lifeforce I had into the attack.
"Mafuba!" I was not done as I pulled on my magic and raised my hands towards my clone and Mechikabura with a roar, an emerald-green whirlwind appearing around me before wrapping up both of them inside the raging storm.
One would be confused as to how I knew this technique, but it was used on King Piccolo by Mutaito and Piccolo has all of King Piccolo's memories, so all that was needed after that was to use every bit of knowledge I had of the Supreme Kais to make my own.
Was it as powerful as the original? Not at all, but when one has divine ki as well as the knowledge of a divine being who sealed away a wizard responsible for devouring millions of planets, you don't need it to be as powerful as the original.
You need it to be stronger.
"Now!" I shouted at Dabura as I kept the whirlwind going, my second body having already sealed away the Glind's magic before Dabura nodded as he spat out another glob that flew into the hurricane and splashed onto his body.
"N-No! NO! I am Mechikabura! The Dark King! He Who Is SUPREME!"The Glind roared as he tried and failed to call upon his magic or ki to teleport away, but it was too late as both he and my former clone were fully encased in stone.
"Towa." I spoke and she was all to eager as numerous sigils and magic circles appeared around the two stone statues before she crushed it into a tiny marble-sized orb, my arm shooting out and catching the orb before I pulled it back to us.
"…Couldn't you have done all of that sooner?" Towa asked with a frown and I gave an apologetic smile.
"The Mafuba? Definitely, but the Kai Kai Matoru requires me to analyse the magical power of my opponent to fully seal away their magic. That and I have so many spells and abilities that I don't know which would work and which wouldn't." I answered and she scoffed, both Dabura and I sharing a shake of our heads before I looked down at the orb.
Speaking of spells I wanted to try…
"Porunga Puputa Kakarin Ta…Porunga Puputa Kakarin Ta…"
"What are you doing?"
"Porunga Puputa Kakarin Ta…" I ignored Dabura's question as I pulled on Neva's memories and found the spell that would work, absorbing more and more lifeforce from the energy inside the orb before grinning as what I wanted finally came forward.
"No! No! NO!" Mechikabura looked horrified to see his astral form being pulled out, but I grinned as I took a deep breath and sucked his soul into my stomach, already absorbing and assimilating everything he knew before blinking a few times to gain some clarity.
"…Was that the whole reason you didn't want to kill him?" Towa asked and both she and her brother sighed as I grinned before letting out a burp.
"And just like that, you will never have to worry about Mechikabura ever again. Now, let's go put this in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and seal that away from all time." I said as I began floating down before a chuckle escaped my lips as Dabura responded.
"Finally, we found some use for that thing."
"To the great Cell! Without him, we would not have been capable of defeating Mechikabura as easily as we did!"
"To Cell the Great!"
"Your brother is a very…rowdy person when he's drunk, isn't he?" I spoke softly to her and Towa looked amused as we saw an exasperated Arinsu trying to pull her husband from the table he was standing on.
"Dear, please get down before you hurt yourself. Let someone else worry about the speeches."
"You're…right! Cell! Get up here and deliver a speech!"
"…You're on your own." Towa spoke as she stood up and walked away, to which I groaned before shaking my head as I stood up and walked over.
Blinking as Dabura lifted me and placed me on the table, I stood on it and looked out at the vast demons gathered around us with excited smiles before Towa yelped as I teleported her beside me.
"I hate you."
"I know. Greetings to you all! How are we enjoying the night?!" I shouted, grinning as they all cheered while Towa tried to sneak away only to glare at me as I wrapped an arm around her waist and kept her close.
"Glad to hear that! Now, while I do thank you all for the praise, I could most definitely have not done it alone and I'm not just referring to Dabura and Towa who helped in combat. Firstly, Gomah, Degesu and Arinsu! If it were not for you three, chaos would have consumed the masses and we would have had a massacre on our hands!"
"Hear-hear!" Gomah shouted from the backlines while Degesu almost looked pleased and Arinsu nodded with a smile.
"Next, to all soldiers! If it were not for you all helping the aforementioned three, the masses would have ran about and caused nothing but mayhem and disarray!"
"Hooooohhhh!" The crowd roared and I chuckled before grinning as I looked at some of the disgruntled civilians.
"Next, to the regular people! I thank you all for your cool heads even in the chaotic situation because I did not wish to see any lives lost!"
"You're welcome!" A civilian demon shouted from the crowd and everyone laughed as I chuckled.
"You're right for that! Finally, to Dabura and Towa…you two may not have contributed mu-so much to the fight, but I am proud to say that the battle would not have been won without the two of you." I quickly changed my response as Towa's sceptre appeared in her grasp and she held it at my neck.
Wolf-whistles echoed through the crowd as she nodded and dismissed it before I raised an eyebrow at the crowd as they began to chant.
"Kiss~ Kiss~ Kiss~ Kiss~"
"I would, but Dabura mi-!" I didn't want to, but my eyes widened as the woman turned my head and laid a searing kiss on my lips, the crowd's cheers fading into the crowd as I let myself return it while tightly gripping her ass.
I don't know how long we were standing there in the heat of the kiss, but as we both softly pulled back, it was to silence and a deadly presence in the air.
"Well, Cell the Great, it was nice knowing you." One of the military demons spoke with a salute, which everyone did as I sighed while Towa giggled.
"You know your brother's going to kill me now, right?"
"As a thank you for helping us win, I'll allow you a ten-second head start…and six of those seconds have already passed."
"…See you in your lab?"
"TowaisBestGirl." She whispered back and I smirked before shooting up into the air, cackling happily as I felt Dabura's energy swiftly racing after me.
I could just teleport away…
'But where's the fun in that?'
A/N: A short chapter today, but this was to end off the war arc~!
You know, I thank everyone on FF, QQ and the Pat-reon for messaging me on the numerous broken skills that Cell has as I was more focused on the power aspects…but then I remembered the hax-part of his skillset.
I almost feel bad for most in the story because how can you compete with a guy who can seal away half of your magic, put your soul in disarray and then eat you up with a chocolate beam?
Actually, now that I think about it, I myself have been a shitty writer for even forgetting about all of those! Holy shit, I need to do more research.
Anyway, next chapter, Meruem's war comes to an end as he finally hunts down Cooler.
Like always, you can go to my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read ahead on this as well as many other stories & even some that haven't been released out to this site yet. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.
As always, read, enjoy, review and until next week...
Ba-Bye~!
