"This young man's temperament has changed drastically," Whis said, squinting as he felt Sensui's energy more carefully and discovered some important things.
For Whis, whose mission was to train Gods of Destruction from mortals to divine beings, his sensitivity to energy, especially when it possessed a divine nature, was extremely high.
Thus, he could sense a trace of divine Ki in Sensui, although, unlike many mortal beings who could obtain it through training or secret methods, Sensui's divine Ki was a tiny and almost insignificant trace, but he was born with it.
But perhaps because of this, his inherently mortal nature clashed with this tiny bit of divine Ki, wreaking havoc with the way Sensui perceived and processed the world around him.
His mind seemed to split into seven different parts, all to process the world in a 'better way.' To Whis, Sensui's normal ki seemed like a fine combination of 7 different energies.
It didn't make him stronger, but it improved his Ki control to a higher level, allowing him to almost control his innate divine Ki and to further develop his strength.
'A somewhat unusual way to achieve this, but this boy has a talent,' Whis thought as he enjoyed a slice of strawberry cake that was extremely delicious.
Whis was in love with Earth food! It seemed that he would become a regular customer of this world in his spare time; perhaps he should invite his brothers and sisters who shared his gourmet hobby here.
"Yes, this young man has changed drastically. I feel that even his energy is slightly different," Muten Roshi said, attracting the attention of the host.
"Wow, it looks like the Sensui fighter has some secrets up his sleeve. How will Miss Bulma react to them?" The moderator took it upon himself to fan the flames of excitement in the audience, causing the cries of excitement to rise once again.
...
"One of the lights in his soul has become the main one," Chi-Chi said to her companions, who became serious from the moment Sensui said those words.
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this," Krillin, his voice a little shaky, watched as Sensui seemed to smear his hand with his blood and licked it with a face full of sick satisfaction.
"Don't worry, Bulma is strong." Goku's confident tone was not casual; he had never been able to defeat Bulma. To him, she may not have been invincible, but she was more than capable of defeating any opponent in this tournament.
"Bulma is powerful, any trick that guy has won't be effective, if we're talking about having something up in our sleeve, doesn't Bulma have a lot on her mind? Sometimes I'm a little surprised by how she can come up with so many techniques. Yamcha also had confidence in Bulma, who had always shown herself to be superior to him.
"You talk like I doubt Bulma! I know as well as you that she's going to kick that guy. Look at Bulma's face, she's smiling in that weird way. Also, remember Sensui's comment, it pissed Bulma off... when she gets mad, she's scary," Krillin's words made his teammates relax.
True, Sensui had upset Bulma with his words recently, and their friend was undoubtedly an irrational girl with a narrow mind. Maybe she was a sunny and pleasant young lady to the others, but they knew that Bulma's mood was sometimes as cloudless as the blue sky that was suddenly covered by a thunderstorm.
...
"You seem to have an idea of my situation, girl." Unlike before, Sensui seemed more talkative this time, ignoring the invisible attacks around him and just looking at Bulma with malicious intent.
"Somehow, your mind is split into 7. That's a strange number," Bulma said, not hiding her knowledge of Sensui's situation, although she wanted to know more about it.
"I guess it's an interesting number, but let me correct you, I am not 'divided' into 7 pieces, I am seven, but we are one, no one is superior, no one is inferior, we just each deal with situations differently.
Collectively, we are Sensui, unlike the guy you fought, I'm .... more proactive," Sensui shouted, releasing a Kiai, and while it didn't eliminate the attacks around him, it gave him a better idea of how they were positioned.
Ignoring the potential danger that surrounded him, Sensui charged at Bulma, covered in a golden aura that made him look like a meteor. Though his body was badly cut and burned, his smile only widened, and he even laughed out loud.
"The divine armor that covers us is tougher than you think! Even if you hurt me, I'm good at enjoying my pain!" growled Sensui, who had closed the distance to Bulma.
Although his attack seemed wild, it was quite planned; he made the necessary moves to avoid being wounded in key places or seriously. He knew he would inevitably take damage, but he took the risk because it was the only way out of this predicament.
This version of him was pretty good at reacting in such precarious situations; anyone else would just parry because the damage wouldn't make up for anything, or maybe he'd just charge into the air and use up energy.
This version of him is not so squeamish! He loved pain, he took pleasure in pain, he loved the way his body shuddered as the pain enveloped his senses, the way his toes clenched, the way he bit down hard, it just brought him to another level of climax!
Bulma didn't just wait, a ball of blue Ki appeared in her hand and she threw it with force, crashing into Sensui. The resulting explosion caused shockwaves that shook even her long blue hair, but her eyes narrowed, still sensing Sensui's threat.
She was right to be cautious, because when she saw Sensui's body flying towards her, regardless of the minor burns, she swung her ki sword at him, who seemed to want to meet it with his own body.
"I'm the one with the best defense, you little bitch!" muttered Sensui as her body was cut, but unlike before, the wound was quite small and only a little blood came out.
His energy defense and the golden battle armor on his body protected him well, but it was something else that raised his defense to another level. The version of Sensui that was in control was quite good at protecting his body from damage, and without wasting any time, he kicked Bulma, hitting her abdomen.
Bulma was thrown down but stopped before hitting the ground, She hadn't expected Sensui to just attack her despite being injured by her; now it was more than clear that he didn't mind trading wound for wound.
Sensui descended and attacked Bulma with her outstretched foot, but unlike Sensui's previous melee attacks, this time she had not enhanced her attack with Ki, as if it was limited to energy protection and nothing more.
Bulma, knowing that she couldn't just attack, launched a kick into the air. Both legs collided in mid-air, causing a huge sound similar to an explosion! From the force of the blow, the two floated backwards before launching themselves body to body.
No matter when Bulma insisted on using her Ki sword to cut Sensui's body, her energy defense was quite good, limiting the damage she could cause, and even, she seemed to adapt her defense to Bulma, taking less and less damage.
So they just collided brutally in the air, not holding back for a moment. Since Sensui didn't take any defensive measures, his blows always hit Bulma when she hit him, so soon he wasn't the only one covered in blood or bruises.
Bulma was injured! Even though she had used all of her power from the beginning, she seemed to have fallen into Sensui's trap, drawing her into a melee and preventing her from using her ki attacks effectively.
Even though she was aware of this, it was difficult to get rid of an enemy who did not mind receiving your attacks because he could defend himself from much of the damage, so Bulma, irritated by this situation, got fed up.
Yes, she liked to push her body to the limit in this fight, even allowing her to use all of her energy, but oddly enough, she felt like she was in a big spider web that inhibited her movements, and she didn't like that at all, so the ki in her body erupted, pushing Sensui back due to the intensity.
Because of their constant exchange, the arena was a mess, and the damage even spread to the audience, but Whis took action and created a force field around them, allowing her to go full force.
"STOP! I've had enough of your shit, you bastard!" Not caring about the ladylike decorum her mother had insisted on instilling in her since she was a little girl, Bulma simply insulted Sensui without further ado.
The purple aura in her body seemed to react to her emotions, and ki gathered in her hands, channeling an energy technique. It wasn't Kame Hame Ha, since his hands were in front of her, it was one of her techniques.
"Angel's Fall!" The Ki in Bulma's hands seemed to spread out sideways like a pair of giant wings, then came together as if those wings were closing, forming a concentrated beam of energy that flew toward Sensui, hitting his body almost instantly.
Sensui's scream echoed throughout the stadium, then his body was covered by an explosion of bright light. But his earlier scream didn't sound like a simple cry of pain, no, it was more like a moan of pleasure.
It was so strange that for some reason, Bulma felt dirty and wanted to wash her hands. Not only her, but many people could feel the strangeness of that moan, and many couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Sensui was a masochistic pervert.
"This is the best pain I've ever felt! Thank you, you big bitch, you deserve that nickname," Sensui's voice was heard, his body visible after the brightness of the explosion.
He was covered in wounds, bleeding, and his body was even smoking, but he was floating in the air with a big grin on his face. He was even licking his lips, trying to spread the aftertaste of the pleasurable feeling that Bulma's attack had given him through the pain.
"But it seems that our body is not in good shape, it looks like it's her turn," Sensui said before he fell silent, then a strange sob came out of his mouth.
"By Kami-Sama! Always the same, it's always my turn to fix the wreckage..." A female voice came out of Sensui's body, accompanied by a small whimper, similar to a woman's cry.
No, Bulma even saw the tears falling from Sensui's eyes as she wiped her hand over her nose, as if wiping away the snot caused by crying. Sensui's golden aura then bathed her body, closing the open wounds and erasing the bruises.
Sensui's eyes, blurred by tears, conveyed a strange sadness and discomfort; even her posture and movement changed drastically, becoming more feminine.
In fact, according to Ki's perception, the person in front of them was a real woman. To the audience, Sensui's masculine features even seemed to disappear completely; one or two men even felt that she was a woman who fit their type.
"I don't like to fight, sorry, okay? But the others want to win, and that makes me want to win, so I'll let someone else take control," Sensui said in a woman's voice, and as if she had made a great decision, she showed her fists in an encouraging gesture similar to what a woman would do.
Bulma decided to take advantage of this opportunity and pointed her finger at Sensui, firing a thin beam of purple ki, and suddenly another thin beam of white energy collided with her attack, making them face each other in the air.
"That careless fool, she almost got us seriously injured," Sensui said in a male voice. This one was much more serious than the previous ones.
His eyes were deathly cold, like someone who had seen death up close. His movements were minimal but full of confidence, simply pointing his finger forward as he launched an energy beam that collided with Bulma's.
"I will kill you," even though this was a tournament where it was forbidden for one fighter to kill another, Sensui's words made Bulma feel a rather pure killing intent.
This Sensui was not joking when he said he would kill her!

An: Sensui is broken, but Bulma is more broken and you will read it in the next chapter! xD. And yes, I wrote 'her' in some paragraph when I wrote about Sensui, because one of the personalities of Sensuis is a woman.
