RUMBLE!
The entire planet quaked violently as thunder cracked through the sky. The ground shook like the end of days, fissures splitting open with each tremor.
"What the hell's going on?! Wasn't that guy already severely injured? How can he still be releasing energy like that?!"
Dyspo and the other Pride Troopers dodged swiftly as massive bolts of lightning slammed down from the heavens. The sheer intensity distorted the air.
If one of those struck them even with their speed and durability they'd be torn apart!
"That guy... it looks like he's undergoing a breakthrough."
Toppo's eyes were locked onto Linze, his tone low and uncertain.
The overwhelming pressure filling the air, the lightning storm crashing down around them this wasn't a transformation Toppo had seen before.
Moments ago, he had feared Linze had perished by Jiren's hand.
Now, in an instant, he had reawakened... like a slumbering primal beast had stirred to life.
"Unbelievable… he actually used me to force his breakthrough?"
Jiren's voice carried a mix of surprise and awe.
He stood still, eyes narrowed at Linze, unable to believe what he was sensing.
He'd believed the battle was already over. But now it was clear:
The real fight was just beginning.
Jiren's body tensed with anticipation. Every cell seemed to vibrate, energized by the challenge.
He hadn't felt this kind of excitement in ages.
Lightning continued pouring from the sky like a vortex, illuminating the broken battlefield in flashes of gold and violet.
"RAAAAH!"
Suddenly, Linze let out a primal roar as a blazing golden aura exploded from his body.
His form erupted with energy, locking into Full Power Super Saiyan 4, muscles bulging and eyes glowing fiercely.
"His energy has skyrocketed but strangely, his appearance hasn't changed much."
Toppo narrowed his eyes, watching as Linze took on his Super Saiyan 4 form once more. It was familiar yet radically more intense.
"No... he's not done yet."
Jiren spoke again, voice resonating with uncharacteristic enthusiasm.
There was a subtle excitement in his tone. Even he stoic and disciplined could feel the gravity of what was happening.
He was witnessing a transformation born not of rage or desperation but of evolution.
And he was ready for it.
Just as Jiren finished speaking, Linze roared once more:
"RAAAAH!!"
The sound shook the clouds, echoing like a dragon's cry through the skies.
Fsshhhhh…
The golden aura around Linze intensified, flaring violently. His ki whipped through the air like a storm unleashed.
Then it happened.
The blazing energy began condensing, spiraling upward and formed into long, serpentine streaks of golden light.
They resembled celestial dragons, coiling outward from Linze's body in all directions.
Each one surged through the air, illuminating the entire battlefield with divine radiance.
"Wha… what is this energy?!"
Toppo and the others stared, stunned, their eyes reflecting the brilliant light. Even they used to standing beside Jiren had never seen power like this.
It wasn't just strong. It was overwhelming. Uncontainable.
For the first time, the very planet seemed drowned in the breath of a single warrior.
"Break through!!"
Linze's voice rang out like thunder, filled with unrelenting fury and triumph.
"HAAAAAA!!"
Linze suddenly let out a thunderous roar that shook the sky, and then before everyone's eyes his form began to transform dramatically.
His wild, black hair elongated and turned a gleaming silver-gray, cascading past his waist like a river of metal. The red fur covering his upper body, distinctive of Super Saiyan 4, also shifted into a sleek silver tone that shimmered under the flickering lightning. His once-golden irises burned a deep, blood-red, exuding a cold, transcendent intensity.
A loose fringe of hair swayed across his forehead in the wind, and a long, silver tail curled behind him, brimming with divine energy.
But perhaps most shocking of all his previous injuries were completely gone, as though time itself had reversed the damage. His ki had not only recovered, it had surged to a level even Jiren hadn't sensed before.
"Is this... Super Saiyan Five?"
Linze clenched his fists and stared down at his transformed body with disbelief and exhilaration.
"I didn't expect it... But this fight with Jiren actually allowed me to break past the final bottleneck of the Saiyan bloodline... I've finally reached Super Saiyan 5."
The words trembled from his lips with joy.
He had waited seven long years for this moment. Countless battles, near-death experiences, and spiritual training and now he stood at the summit.
"This energy... it's like holding an entire galaxy in my body. It's vast, overwhelming... and so pure."
His fist tightened, and the immense power surged through his veins like a tidal wave crashing through a dam.
Fssshhh…
Streams of gold-tinged aura exploded outward from his body, rippling through the terrain like shockwaves of raw divinity.
"He changed again... this guy... is he even mortal anymore?"
Toppo's voice trembled slightly. The raw pressure made his knees lock, and even Dyspo stood frozen.
Casellar who had mocked Linze minutes ago was visibly trembling, his face drained of color.
That sneer he wore earlier was gone, replaced by shame and disbelief, as if every word he'd spoken had slapped him in the face.
"Incredible... he wasn't bluffing. He really broke through during our battle..."
Jiren's eyes narrowed, his expression unusually complex.
He could feel something in Linze's energy now something beyond brute strength. It was a calm, flowing force a balance of raw power and refined ki.
It was... dangerous.
For years, Jiren had walked the path of solitude. The strongest in Universe 11. Unchallenged. Unmatched.
But now, here stood a warrior whose very presence defied everything Jiren thought he understood about limits.
"Jiren," Linze said, stepping forward with a faint smirk curling across his lips, "I should be thanking you. If you hadn't struck me with that last attack, I might've never broken through."
His voice echoed with power. A quiet storm behind calm words.
He had been on the verge of giving up hope on transcending Super Saiyan 4. Jiren's punch had nearly ended his life but it had also shattered the barriers holding back his full potential.
In that instant, it was as if his energy meridians had unlocked, allowing every circuit in his body to surge simultaneously. The dam had broken, and in its place, rose Super Saiyan 5 limitless and fierce.
"This transformation… it's nothing like Super Saiyan 4. The ki doesn't just burn, it flows endlessly, like a wellspring that won't dry up."
Jiren crossed his arms, voice cold but composed.
"Whether you broke through or not... it changes nothing. Don't assume you can match me just because your hair changed color."
"Strength isn't measured by looks. You still don't understand the gap."
Though his tone remained stoic, there was a subtle edge in Jiren's words.an unease he rarely showed.
"Is that so?"
Linze chuckled darkly.
"If you truly believe that, Jiren... then you're gravely mistaken."
The smile faded. His red eyes sharpened.
Then, in a flash
WHOOSH!
A piercing sonic boom ripped through the battlefield as Linze disappeared.
BANG!
A thunderous explosion erupted a second later.
A massive crater formed beneath the shocked gazes of everyone. Dust and rock shot into the sky.
At the very bottom Jiren lay embedded in the earth, motionless for a moment, eyes wide with surprise.
And just above the crater... stood Linze, in the exact spot Jiren had occupied seconds before.
No one even saw the movement.
