Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Piccolo Fights Gamma 2 Again
"One Punch Men?"
"Yes, they're really popular in the West!"
"But why are they here?"
Workers outside the factory whispered among themselves, bewildered by the sudden appearance of well-known figures. The murmurs were cut short when two imposing figures emerged from the factory doors—Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.
Gamma 2's eyes widened in astonishment the moment they landed on Piccolo.
"Lord Piccolo? You're alive?"
"Sorry to disappoint you," Piccolo said with a smirk. "And stop calling me Lord Piccolo. The name's just Piccolo."
Gamma 2's attention shifted to Goten and the others, his face a mixture of confusion and intrigue.
"Wait... are you the so-called 'One Punch Men duo'?"
Hearing this, Trunks straightened up with visible pride. "You've heard of us?"
Gamma 2 nodded. Dr. Hedo had compiled extensive data on Goten and Trunks, inserting their profiles into the information database for both Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.
"Of course I know you," Gamma 2 said, folding his arms. "But why are you with him?" He gestured at Piccolo.
"We're here to stop you from creating Cell MAX!" Trunks declared confidently.
In the basement of the factory, Magenta and Carmine watched the situation unfold on surveillance monitors. Magenta slammed her fists on the control panel in frustration.
"Damn it! How did they find us? Were they tracking Gamma 2 this morning?"
Carmine adjusted his glasses. "It's highly likely. What do we do now?"
Magenta scowled. "If Cell MAX were complete, this wouldn't be a problem, but it's still in its final stages!"
Back outside, Gamma 2's expression hardened as he processed Trunks' statement.
"You're saying you're here to stop us? Don't you understand? Cell MAX is being created to eliminate Goku and his gang!"
"Uncle Goku?" Goten echoed.
Gamma 2's face scrunched up in confusion. "Wait, why are you calling him uncle? Don't tell me... you're part of his gang too? No wonder you're so powerful!"
Trunks sighed heavily. He couldn't believe how long it took for Gamma 2 to piece that together.
Gamma 2's hesitation didn't last long. "No matter who you are, I won't let you stop us!" He turned to Gamma 1. "Let's go!"
Gamma 1 gave a curt nod and sprang into action. Goten met him head-on, the ground cracking beneath their feet as they clashed. Trunks, not one to be outdone, powered up into Super Saiyan form, his golden aura illuminating the area.
"Super Saiyan!" Gamma 2 exclaimed, startled by the transformation.
Trunks didn't wait for an invitation. With a battle cry, he surged forward like a streak of lightning. Gamma 2 responded by pulling out a laser gun from his waist, firing a series of rapid shots.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The lasers missed their mark, creating craters in the ground as Trunks dodged with ease.
Meanwhile, Goten had already closed the distance between himself and Gamma 1. His fist collided with Gamma 1's midsection, sending the artificial fighter hurtling into the factory wall. The impact left a gaping hole, debris scattering everywhere.
Dr. Hedo, hearing the commotion, rushed out from the laboratory on the third underground floor, his heart pounding.
At the same time, Trunks miscalculated his opponent's speed. Gamma 2 took advantage, landing a solid kick that sent Trunks sprawling across the battlefield.
"Trunks!" Piccolo roared.
In a flash, Piccolo transformed into his Orange Piccolo form, his body radiating an intense golden glow. Gamma 2 froze in shock, his eyes widening as he realized the fight had taken a dramatic turn.
"You can transform too?" Gamma 2 stammered, but there was no time for further reflection. Piccolo was already upon him, delivering a crushing blow that forced Gamma 2 to retreat several steps.
In the basement, Magenta watched the battle unfold with growing anxiety. "This is bad," he muttered. "If Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 are defeated, our unfinished Cell MAX will be destroyed!"
Carmine adjusted his glasses again, his expression unreadable. "In that case, perhaps we should activate Cell MAX ahead of schedule."
"Are you insane? It's not stable!" Magenta snapped.
"Do we have a choice? If we don't, we'll lose everything."
Magenta clenched his fists. "Fine. Activate it. We have no other option."
Back on the surface, Dr. Hedo observed the ongoing battle. Gamma 2 was clearly struggling against Orange Piccolo, while Gamma 1 was sprawled on the ground, completely incapacitated after Goten's relentless assault.
Dr. Hedo's mind raced. Could it be that Magenta had deceived him? He remembered how he had approached him three months ago when he was desperate for funding. He'd spun a tale of how Goku and his allies were colluding with aliens to conquer Earth. To convince him further, he'd shown him photos of Goku, Vegeta, and Majin Buu, using them as "proof" of his claims.
