[The next match is between Cell from Universe Seventeen and Dabura, the King of the Demon World from Universe Eleven.]
Before the two even started fighting, Super Gohan made his own judgment, believing that Cell would win.
"Cell might win. Super Cell, who returned from self-destruction, has fighting power comparable to mine back then."
Dabura had been the King of the Demon World for a long time, while Cell at least has the cells of Frieza, Goku, Piccolo, and everyone else in his body.
Cell and Dabura stepped into the ring.
Dabura looked at Cell and said, "It's time for everyone to witness the might of a true demon."
Cell smiled back and didn't speak.
Suddenly Dabura dashed towards him and elbowed him in the face.
He then flew in the air and charged a Ki attack.
The attack was large, and it looked very deadly with swirling sparks around it.
Cell was hit directly, but as the smoke cleared, he stood in place unharmed.
Cell flew in the air and kneed Dabura in the stomach.
Dabura grunted and disappeared.
He reappeared again behind Cell after Cell blasted him.
Cell let out a scream.
Dabura smirked. But as the smoke cleared, Cell stood with his arms behind his back, which blocked the attack.
Dabura muttered, "Such reflexes. He is strong."
Cell looked at his hands that were injured. He turned around and said, "Same for you. In fact, you're probably the strongest fighter I have met."
Dabura replied, "Of course I'm the strongest. I'm the lord of the Dark Kingdom of Demons."
They fought again, first in close combat, then in energy ball exchanges, with no significant difference in their fighting powers.
After a few minutes of stalemate in the battle, Dabura shot out another energy attack at Cell.
Cell created a barrier, blocking the attack.
Dabura was somewhat exhausted and panted.
Cell raised his finger.
"Try to dodge this."
He began firing many fast and deadly attacks. This was Frieza's death beam technique.
Dabura's body flashed as he evaded the attacks.
Before Dabura had time to recover, Cell placed his finger on his head.
"Solar Flare!"
Cell shouted, and a blinding light erupted in the sky.
However, this attack didn't affect Dabura much, as he immediately vanished and appeared behind Cell, now holding a flaming sword.
Dabura slashed at Cell, cutting one of his arms and also half of his waist.
Cell looked shocked.
"Die!"
Dabura tried to move his sword to attack Cell again but then found it was stuck.
Cell now had an indifferent expression and held the sword with one hand.
He spoke. "Are you only capable of attacking from behind?"
Dabura was surprised that Cell, who was so injured, could still talk.
Cell said, "Anyway, this sword is not enough to kill me."
Dabura said back, "With your body cut open and an arm off, you've already lost."
"Haaa!" Cell shouted as his arm regenerated in an instant and his waist healed too.
Cell looked at Dabura and said, "You were saying?"
Dabura was shocked. "But how? You should be heavily injured!"
Cell placed his two fingers on his forehead and suddenly extended his arm, shooting another attack.
"Special Beam Cannon."
Dabura, already very tired, was unable to react as he was pierced by the attack.
Dabura clutched his chest. He quickly regained his composure and fought against Cell again.
Dabura dealt several punches and kicks while Cell smirked as he dodged.
Dabura vanished and appeared near him. He found an opening and spat a mouthful of white liquid on Cell's chest.
This was also his special move; anything hit would turn to stone.
Cell shouted. "Ugh. What did you do to my perfect body?"
Dabura laughed, "You're done for, insect. I've won."
Cell's chest quickly petrified, with only his head not yet turned to stone.
Just when everyone thought Cell would be defeated, Cell made a heaven-defying move. He held his own neck with both hands and then tore it forcefully.
He ripped his head off, and the blood from his neck spurted out like a fountain, stunning everyone, and even Dabura looked flustered.
What kind of move was this? Committing suicide because he couldn't win?
Cell's head fell to the ground.
"He killed himself?" Dabura said, looking at the ground.
Cell's head smirked.
"No... Don't tell me..." Dabura muttered. He was too weak and exhausted to move as he clutched his chest.
Cell's body suddenly sprouted a new one, restoring his limbs, and he returned to normal.
He stood up calmly after recovering, although he was still fatigued.
He glanced up and then put his hands together.
"Kame-hame-haaa!"
A blue wave of energy was shot into the sky, moving towards Dabura, who could only stare back in shock.
Dabura's eyes reflected the light from the attack. He extended his arms, trying to block the attack, mustering the remaining energy he had.
But his power was too weak, and he couldn't fully block the attack.
Dabura fell to the ground, unable to move.
Cell appeared next to him.
As the timer counted down, Cell's tail enlarged, and everyone was stunned as he swallowed the Dabura, who was unconscious.
Taking advantage of Dabura's unpreparedness, he caught him off guard and won the match.
Cell stood in the ring and powered up after swallowing Dabura's body.
Although Cell had won and would have recovered soon, he wouldn't miss the chance to swallow his defeated enemy and increase his own power.
The course of the match was full of ups and downs, leaving even Super Gohan in awe.
"Cell, could it be that he hasn't been training but has instead spent all his time developing his body's self-healing ability?"
Gogeta said, "Cell's age doesn't seem young. The organizer's explanation is that this Cell exists more than twenty years after the end of the Cell Games. He probably hid some of his power, and now that he devoured Dabura, his power will improve drastically."
Cell also had Piccolo's cells in his body, but even Namekians would die if their heads were cut off from their necks.
Super Goku was observing the contestants from Universe 21 and Universe 20 GT, while Super Vegeta felt annoyed by every Kakarot he saw.
