NOVEL WEB Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11
c11: Super Turtle Style Qigong
Whoosh!
At this moment, Luya's figure was completely engulfed in a cyclone of golden and crimson energy, the fusion of his Super Saiyan form with the power of the Kaio-Ken x7. His aura crackled like thunder, and his icy expression gave off the commanding pressure of a war god descending to Earth.
His muscular frame had visibly expanded—veins bulged slightly beneath taut skin, and each muscle fiber pulsed with raw, explosive power.
In truth, Luya remained deeply concerned.
This technique was unprecedented.
Even Son Goku, the original wielder of the Kaio-Ken, could only safely stack it on top of Super Saiyan Blue, thanks to the godly ki stabilizing his body.
What Luya was doing now stacking Kaio-Ken x7 on top of Super Saiyan 2—had never been accomplished in canon. The stress should've torn his body apart.
But in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Luya had pushed past those limits. Through extreme physical stress and mental concentration, he had mastered this forbidden combination. Half a year of constant training no food, no distractions had allowed him to force Kaio-Ken into synergy with his Super Saiyan aura.
Still, without the system's boost, even his elite Saiyan potential might have crumbled under the strain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly
[Ding! The host has activated Kaio-Ken successfully. Side effect counter initialized. Current Kaio-Ken strain level: +1]
The mechanical voice of the system echoed in his mind.
Luya blinked, momentarily confused. "System… what does that mean?"
System: "Unlike Son Goku, whose Kaio-Ken imposes immediate strain and damage due to incompatible energy flow, the host's Kaio-Ken has been modified by the system. It has no side effects at the beginning. Instead, side effects accumulate gradually with extended use or repeated stacking."
Luya froze. Then, realization and exhilaration lit up his face.
"Wait… are you saying I can maintain this form indefinitely?!"
System: "Theoretically yes. However, Kaio-Ken demands massive energy reserves. Based on your current stamina and chakra synchronization efficiency, you can sustain Kaio-Ken x7 Super Saiyan 2 for a maximum of ten minutes."
Ten minutes!
Luya's eyes gleamed. That might be enough just enough to finish Frieza.
Because in this fused form, his combat power had now soared to:
1,137,500,000,000.
That's right from just over 1 trillion to nearly 1.14 trillion.
A surge of confidence filled him just in time for a golden blur to flash in front of him.
Before he could fully react
CRACK!
A sharp sting slapped across his cheek. The next moment, Luya's body was hurled backward like a missile, crashing deep into the ocean with a massive explosion of water!
It was Frieza.
Floating midair, cloaked in his resplendent Golden Form, Frieza smirked arrogantly at the sea.
"What's wrong? Did you think I was too weak to keep your attention? How dare you drop your guard during a fight with me?"
BOOM!
A massive water column erupted from the sea Luya soared into the air, battle-worn but grinning.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smirked.
"Come on, Frieza! I'm just getting warmed up!"
Frieza's expression darkened. With no warning, he blasted forward, the space behind him warping from the sheer speed of his movement.
Luya vanished in the same instant.
BANG! BANG!
A series of deafening impacts shattered the air. Shockwaves exploded in every direction. The battle had turned into a blur of golden and crimson light, each strike rippling the sky like sonic booms.
"These two… they're evenly matched now!" Krillin gasped, his voice shaking as he watched the titanic collision unfold in midair.
Gohan and Piccolo exchanged grim looks.
This battle was no longer one-sided.
It had become a true clash of gods.
"No! On the surface, Frieza clearly has the upper hand!"
Piccolo narrowed his eyes, his gaze locked on the chaotic battlefield.
Whoosh!!
Luya and Frieza were exchanging blows at lightning speed so fast that even Gohan could barely follow the movement. Punches and kicks were hurled back and forth, but the hit rate remained low. Most of their strikes were blocked or dodged by the opponent's reflexes and awareness.
Even so, Frieza still maintained the advantage. His Golden Form was stable, his stamina seemingly endless, and his attacks were sharper. Luya, though strong, was being worn down.
"Haaah!!"
Luya suddenly appeared behind Frieza, thrusting both palms forward. A concentrated ki blast launched at point-blank range, slamming into Frieza's back and sending him flying!
Gritting his teeth, Luya gave chase but just as he was about to capitalize, Frieza abruptly vanished from midair.
"Wha?!"
Luya's eyes widened as Frieza materialized directly in front of him, faster than even his enhanced reflexes could register only a flickering afterimage had warned him.
"BAM!"
"GAAHH!!"
Frieza's fist dug deep into Luya's abdomen, knocking the wind out of him. Foam bubbled at the edge of his mouth as he curled from the impact and was hurled backward like a ragdoll.
But Frieza wasn't done. With a savage grin, he darted forward and, at supersonic speed, locked both fists together and brought them down like a hammer
"BOOM!!"
Luya screamed as he plummeted like a meteor toward the Earth's surface.
Frieza floated above, his golden form gleaming like a god of destruction. His expression turned cold as he raised a single finger
"Death Beam: Rapid Fire."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!
A barrage of red laser-like Death Beams rained down in rapid succession. The sky exploded with smoke and shockwaves as the area below was blanketed by concentrated blasts.
Then a figure was flung from the haze, crashing against a jagged rock outcrop.
It was Luya.
He was injured light burns on his skin, tattered clothes but he was alive. Not fatal. Not yet.
Frieza descended slightly, chuckling.
"Hohoho… Is that all you've got? You're still far beneath me, boy. You may have tricks, but power, real power is something you still lack."
Luya wiped the blood from his mouth, then lifted his chin and grinned.
"You're strong, I'll give you that. But don't think for a second… that I'm done."
"Oh?" Frieza's smile curved as he flicked his tail lazily. "Still have more? Then bring it out, monkey. Let's see this 'hope' you cling to."
Luya clenched his fists, his aura flickering erratically. His Kaio-Ken was still active but it was draining him.
Though the system said he had ten minutes, fighting a Golden Frieza head-on was accelerating his ki consumption. His window was closing.
A quick finish… or death.
"Tch!"
With a growl, Luya powered up again. Golden and red auras burst outward, winds screaming around him. And then he moved.
His hands shifted down to his waist.
"Turtle… Haaa…"
That stance. That tone. Everyone watching knew what was coming.
Gohan's eyes widened. Krillin gasped aloud, but before he could speak, Gohan clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Don't interfere," Gohan said seriously. "That's his best shot."
Krillin nodded as Gohan released him, then whispered excitedly,
"Is he trying to use Dad's Super Kamehameha?! Like the one he used on Cell?!"
Gohan remained focused. "Let's just hope it's enough…"
Back in the air, Luya continued to charge the Kamehameha, his energy flaring wildly as he compressed his ki down to a brilliant core.
His palms glowed with the condensed power of the Super Turtle Style Qigong, a hyper-evolved version of the traditional Kamehameha.
Frieza, noticing the energy buildup, scowled.
"Fool! If you fire that kind of blast from here, you'll destroy half the planet!"
Luya smirked. "So what? Are you scared?"
Frieza's eye twitched.
"Scared? Hah! Not only will you miss, you couldn't scratch me if you tried. So go ahead. Blow out your lungs if it makes you feel better."
He extended one palm forward, gathering a sphere of red ki.
"Now… DIE!"
Frieza launched a crimson energy sphere directly at Luya—fast and deadly.
But then
"...MEEEEEE!!"
Luya's eyes flashed. In that moment, his figure vanished, leaving only a burning afterimage.
The energy sphere tore through empty air.
"W-What?!" Frieza gasped.
Too late.
Luya reappeared behind Frieza, both hands forward, the blinding blue energy of the Super Turtle Style Qigong surging between his palms.
"...HAAAAA!!!!"
"NO!!"
The beam erupted.
A titanic wave of compressed ki roared forward, engulfing Frieza in a cascade of pure destruction.
The tyrant's screams were swallowed by the blinding light—
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"
The beam carved a trench through the clouds and into the ocean below, sending shockwaves across the planet.
And then… silence.
