Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Granola is Transformed into Chocolate Balls
"Clone!"
The revelation stunned everyone.
"What we've been fighting… is just a clone?" Krillin exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.
Gohan, clutching his abdomen from his earlier defeat, frowned. "A clone that strong? What's the real Granola like?"
Granola, still aboard his spaceship in orbit, was equally shocked. He had created the clone to conserve his energy for his ultimate battle against Frieza. Yet, Goten had easily seen through his strategy.
"So, he figured it out," Granola muttered. Without hesitation, he released the clone and descended from the heavens to Earth.
As Granola landed, the air around him grew tense. His presence exuded an intensity far greater than the clone.
"Tien, is this the real Granola?" Krillin whispered.
"I think so," Tien replied cautiously.
Granola's piercing gaze locked onto Goten. "Tell me, is Goku stronger than you? And what about Vegeta?"
Goten crossed his arms, his expression calm. "No, they're weaker than me."
Granola's lips curved into a faint smirk. "Good," he said, a hint of relief in his voice. "That means this fight isn't hopeless."
He raised his hand and removed the eyepatch covering his right eye, revealing a golden iris that seemed to gleam with predatory precision.
Krillin gasped. "Golden right eye?"
Granola pointed his right index finger at Goten, mimicking the shape of a gun. A moment later, a glowing bullet of energy shot toward Goten at blinding speed.
"Bang!"
Goten reacted instantly, raising his hand and swatting the energy bullet aside. It exploded harmlessly in the distance.
Granola's figure disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Goten, throwing a punch with all his might.
But as his fist closed in, the world seemed to slow. Granola's eyes widened in confusion, realizing Goten had moved faster than he could perceive.
Before he could process what had happened, Goten's right fist drove into his abdomen.
"Bang!"
Granola cried out in pain as his body was hurled backward like a meteor, slamming into a mountain with a thunderous crash. Dust and debris rose into the air, shrouding the battlefield.
Granola gritted his teeth as he climbed out of the rubble, his breathing labored. With a determined shout, he rushed at Goten again, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks at lightning speed.
Goten dodged and blocked effortlessly, his movements smooth and controlled.
Granola roared in frustration, channeling all his strength into a powerful kick. Goten sidestepped gracefully, causing Granola to stumble forward.
"Too slow," Goten said calmly, his voice tinged with amusement.
Anger flared in Granola's eyes. He spun around, firing a rapid volley of energy bullets from all ten fingers. The ground erupted in explosions as the bullets missed their mark, with Goten dodging each one with ease.
Desperation mounting, Granola manipulated a nearby mountain, lifting it into the air with a surge of telekinetic power. With a roar, he hurled the mountain at Goten.
Goten raised his hand, summoning a purple Hakai orb. The destructive energy surged forward, obliterating the mountain in a blinding explosion.
Granola clenched his teeth, summoning molten lava from beneath Goten's feet. The ground cracked open, spewing fiery magma toward him.
But Goten vanished in an instant, reappearing behind Granola.
"Behind you," Goten said with a chuckle.
Granola's face twisted in shock as he spun around, only to be met with a pink energy wave from Goten's right hand. The energy struck him with a jolt, enveloping his body in a bright glow.
"Ahhh!" Granola screamed, his voice fading as his form began to change.
To everyone's astonishment, Granola's body shrank and transformed into a small, shiny chocolate ball that landed on the ground with a soft bounce.
"G-Granola… turned into a chocolate ball?" Krillin stammered, his jaw dropping.
"Unbelievable," Tien said, swallowing hard. "Goten's technique is terrifying."
The pink glow from Goten's hand faded as he stepped forward, staring down at the chocolate ball.
The chocolate ball, glowing faintly, floated into the air, as though resisting its new form.
