[VOLUME 1 COMPLETED]
.
The sunset painted the sky in gold and orange. Everyone was laughing and talking as the Earth's warriors gathered again. It was peaceful — something rare in their lives.
Even though Saiyans loved to fight, Goku felt this quiet moment was special. Standing on the balcony, holding a plate piled high with meat, he looked at the sun and smiled softly.
"Peace like this… feels pretty good," he said with a calm voice.
Vegeta walked up beside him, also holding a plate full of food. "Heh, didn't think I'd see the day when you'd say something like that. Are you really the Kakarot I know?"
Goku turned his head, surprised. "Vegeta? What do you mean?"
"When we fused against Beerus, I saw everything," Vegeta said, his eyes sharp. "All your memories, your battles, everything."
Goku scratched his head and laughed. "Ah, so you found out already."
Vegeta clicked his tongue. "Tch. No matter which world you're in, you're still the same annoying idiot."
He looked away, his voice serious. "But if you really want to stop training, then do it. Just don't regret it when I finally surpass you."
Goku smirked and took a bite of meat. "We'll see, Vegeta."
Vegeta smiled a little too. "Hmph, we'll see."
The celebration went on until night. Laughter, food, and warmth filled the air — but no feast lasts forever. One by one, everyone said goodbye. The Z Fighters left, Beerus and Whis returned to the God of Destruction's realm, and Goku's family headed home.
Three months later.
Everything had gone back to normal.
Krillin was still working as a traffic officer in West City.
Tien ran his dojo, teaching new students.
Piccolo had become a full-time babysitter for little Pan.
And Vegeta? He trained harder than ever, chasing new power beyond even the fourth level of Super Saiyan.
As for Goku, he didn't rush things. He trained in his own way — calm, patient, balanced.
In the peaceful fields of Mount Paozu, Goku was driving his tractor. The breeze was soft, the birds were chirping, and the smell of fresh soil filled the air.
He leaned back, eyes half-closed, steering lazily with his feet. Somehow, even half-asleep, he never fell off a cliff.
That's Goku for you — the only Saiyan who actually got a driver's license.
But suddenly, a flash of white light shot across the sky. Goku opened his eyes and felt a familiar energy.
"Hmm? That's Gohan's ki…" he mumbled, sitting up as his son landed nearby.
Rubbing his eyes, Goku asked, "Gohan? Weren't you busy with your research? What brings you here?"
Gohan landed with a serious face. "I finished my project. But that's not why I came. I came because… I want to fight you, Dad."
Goku blinked, surprised. "Fight me? Why all of a sudden?"
Gohan clenched his fists. "Three months ago, when I reached the Beast form, I wasn't ready. But now, I've mastered it. I know I still can't beat you… but I want to see how close I can get."
For a moment, Goku just looked at his son. Then he smiled. He could feel the fire in Gohan's spirit — the same fire he once had as a boy.
"Heh… you really are my son," Goku said proudly. He grabbed his work shirt and tore it off, revealing his orange gi underneath. "Alright, Gohan. Show me how strong you've become."
Gohan smiled, his eyes fierce. "You'll see, Dad."
His aura exploded — a wild, silver-white flame mixed with red lightning. The ground cracked beneath him as the Beast Form took over.
The power was massive.
Goku watched closely, serious now. "Not bad, Gohan… but I can tell — your energy's still leaking. You haven't fully mastered this form yet."
Gohan stayed silent, his teeth clenched.
Goku's eyes softened. "And… when you transform, your heart gets too fired up. I can feel it. You won't stop until you win, right?"
The air grew heavy between them — father and son, warrior and warrior.
Goku stepped forward, his smile turning sharp. "Then come at me with everything you've got!"
Gohan froze for a moment, his eyes wide with shock.
He didn't expect his dad to see through every weakness that easily. It felt like nothing could be hidden from him — like Goku could read his very soul.
"…You noticed everything so fast, Dad," Gohan said softly, smiling a little. "Guess there's still a long way for me to go."
Then his eyes turned sharp. "Please, fight me seriously. Help me find a way to move forward."
He stepped forward, taking a fighting stance. The wild aura of the beast began to roar around him, shaking the ground.
Goku smiled calmly, his eyes burning with excitement. "Heh, that's fine by me. I haven't stretched my body in a while. I've been thinking about what I learned from that battle in the future world… You'll be the perfect training partner, Gohan."
A golden light began to gather in Goku's palm. With one move, he shot it up into the sky — it burst into a glowing dome that surrounded them both.
Gohan's eyes widened. "A barrier?!"
He could make energy shields too, but not like this. This one was huge — strong enough to trap both of them inside while keeping the outside world safe.
"Yeah," Goku said, floating higher with a grin. "If we fight here, we won't hurt anyone."
Gohan clenched his fists, energy building around him. "Then I'm not holding back!"
He thrust his hands forward, yelling, "MASENKO—HA!!"
A beam of light burst out, tearing through the air with massive power.
Goku didn't dodge. He charged up his own attack with one hand and fired a glowing ball of compressed energy straight at it.
The two blasts collided —
BOOOOM!
A shockwave ripped through the barrier, shaking the air. Smoke and fire filled the sky.
Out of the smoke, Gohan rushed forward like a wild beast. His punches were fast, precise, and filled with killing intent. He aimed right for his father's chest.
Goku smiled, blocking and dodging smoothly, countering when he could. Their fists clashed again and again, creating flashes of light across the barrier.
Each punch felt heavier. The air itself began to scream. Lightning sparked around them, and the barrier trembled from their power.
"Your strength's improved a lot, Gohan," Goku said between blows. "You weren't this fast before."
Even so, he could feel pressure building. Gohan's beast form wasn't just power — it was instinct, raw and untamed.
"Then don't hold back!" Gohan shouted, his aura flaring red and white. He punched Goku in the stomach, then kicked him hard in the chest.
Goku slid back, almost hitting the edge of the barrier. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed softly.
"Hehe… I really underestimated you."
Gohan looked serious, eyes glowing with determination. "Dad! Please fight me with all your strength! I need to know how far I still have to go!"
His energy roared even louder, red lightning crackling around his body.
Goku's smile faded into something calm and proud. "You've grown strong, Gohan… stronger than I expected."
Then his tone changed — deeper, sharper. "Alright. I'll show you my true power. The form I've been working on… Super Saiyan 5 — God of Destruction Mode."
The moment he said it, the ground split apart. White light burst from Goku's body, mixing with violet destructive energy. His hair turned snow-white, glowing in the wind, and his aura burned like a living storm.
The sky dimmed. The world went silent.
Even though Goku held back his energy, the sheer pressure crushed the air.
Gohan's beast form trembled. His instincts screamed danger.
"This power…" he whispered, eyes wide in disbelief. "It's… beyond Super Saiyan 5… and mixed with Beerus's energy of destruction…?"
He could barely breathe. His body shook from the difference in power.
Goku opened his eyes — silver and burning. "Yes. This is everything I've mastered — Super Saiyan 5: God of Destruction."
"Now… come at me, Gohan!"
Before Gohan could even blink, Goku vanished.
"So fast!" Gohan thought, his body freezing. Every cell screamed danger.
And then—
Goku's fist stopped just one centimeter away from Gohan's face.
The air from that punch alone shook Gohan's body, making his heart skip a beat.
If that punch had landed, Gohan knew—he'd be gone.
"I… I…" Gohan froze, his whole body shaking.
Cold sweat ran down his face, and his breath came in short gasps.
The proud look he had before was gone. Completely gone.
He finally understood how huge the gap between him and his dad really was.
He had come here full of confidence, thinking he could push his father to his limits.
Now, he could only laugh at himself.
If his dad wanted to, even Super Saiyan 1 was enough to crush him while he was in Beast form.
Letting out a weak laugh, Gohan dropped his transformation.
He had no will to fight anymore.
Seeing this, Goku also powered down from his Super Saiyan 5: God of Destruction form.
He placed his hands on his hips and smiled proudly.
"To be honest, Gohan," Goku said with a soft laugh, "you surprised me too. That beast form of yours… it's wild. The fighting instinct in that form is way stronger than I expected."
"If we fought evenly, I might've lost."
"Let's end this battle here."
Both of them landed gently on the ground.
The golden energy barrier around them faded away, and calm returned to the area.
"Thank you, Dad," Gohan said, bowing with respect. His face showed both exhaustion and admiration.
Even though he lost, he learned a lot from that fight.
He now understood his weak points—how to stay calm during his transformation, and how to control that wild power burning inside him.
Those two lessons alone were priceless.
"If you want to go further," Goku said after a moment of thought, "there's something that might help."
He raised a finger, and a small light shot from it straight into Gohan's forehead.
Gohan blinked, feeling a rush of information flood into his mind.
"This is…" he whispered in shock.
It was a special kind of training method—something completely new to him.
"This is a divine training method taught to me by the Old Supreme Kai," Goku said with a smile.
"When your Beast form becomes stable, try using this method.
If you master the power of divine focus, you might find a whole new level of strength."
Just then, two familiar presences descended from the sky.
Beerus and Whis appeared, calm and composed.
They had been enjoying food at Bulma's place when they suddenly sensed Goku's enormous power.
Curious, they followed the energy to Baozi Mountain—and arrived just in time to see the end of the father-son battle.
Whis' calm eyes sparkled with interest.
The combination of Goku's mortal power and the God of Destruction's divine energy—it was beyond imagination.
"Training with divine energy can indeed help Gohan grow stronger," Whis said softly, "but doing it alone will take too long."
Hearing this, both Goku and Gohan turned to face Beerus and Whis.
"Oh, Beerus, Whis! So that's who I felt watching us," Goku said, smiling awkwardly. "I sensed some divine power earlier but didn't expect it was you guys."
"Hey!" Beerus snapped, walking closer with narrowed eyes. "Since when did you become this good at using Destruction Energy?"
"Don't tell me you're planning to steal my job as the God of Destruction!"
Goku scratched his head with a laugh. "Huh? No way! I don't want that kind of boring work. I'd rather live free and fight strong guys, you know?"
Beerus gave him a suspicious glare but said nothing.
Whis then turned his calm gaze toward Gohan.
"Your Beast form is powerful," he said, "but you haven't truly mastered it yet. Like Goku said, divine training might help—but it'll take forever if you do it alone."
Then, with a warm smile, he added, "Would you like to come train in the God of Destruction Realm, Gohan?"
Gohan froze for a moment.
It was a golden chance—something few mortals ever received.
Vegeta had grown strong through Whis' training, and now… it was his turn.
"Thank you, Whis," Gohan said with determination in his eyes. "I'll do my best!"
Beerus sighed, crossing his arms. "Tch… fine. I'll let you both come. Maybe watching Vegeta's face when he sees this will be worth it."
Whis smiled again and turned to Goku. "How about you, Goku? Will you join us too?"
"Yeah," Goku said with a grin. "My work's done here, and Chi-Chi won't mind if I'm gone for a while."
"Perfect," Whis replied, raising his staff as a light began to surround them.
Beerus grumbled under his breath. "Hmph. Let's see how much trouble these two cause this time."
And with that, the sky shimmered—
Goku, Gohan, Whis, and Beerus vanished, leaving Baozi Mountain silent once more.
Since the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 tournament, Vegeta had stayed behind in the God of Destruction Realm, training harder than ever.
The memory of Goku's overwhelming aura still echoed in his mind—a power so terrifying that even a god would hesitate to face it head-on.
That power… it burned in Vegeta's heart like fire.
He couldn't ignore it.
He wouldn't.
"If Kakarot can reach that height… then I will surpass him," Vegeta muttered, his eyes sharp and cold.
He stood alone at the center of the realm, his entire body surrounded by a dark red aura.
It wasn't godly energy.
It wasn't mortal either.
It was something deeper—something raw, dangerous, and filled with rage.
It was Saiyan essence—the darkness that hides inside every warrior's heart.
Vegeta kept refining that demonic power, pushing his limits again and again.
Each time his body trembled in pain, he gritted his teeth and kept going.
Three months had passed, and his power had grown far beyond what it once was.
If he had to compare it—
He now stood just one step below a true God of Destruction.
But that one step… would take a thousand lifetimes of effort.
Nearby, the Oracle Fish floated quietly, watching him.
"What incredible dark energy," it murmured.
"I never thought Whis and Lord Beerus would allow someone so close to becoming a demon to stay here. Hmmm… maybe this Vegeta will be the Demon God I once saw in a prophecy…"
Fifteen minutes later, Vegeta finally stopped training.
His breathing was calm, but his eyes burned with power.
Then—he suddenly looked up.
An aurora of light tore through space and landed on the realm's surface.
He immediately sensed it.
"Beerus… Whis… no, wait—Kakarot… and Gohan?!"
His expression hardened.
Without hesitation, he launched himself toward the light.
"We're here, Goku, Gohan," Whis said with his usual smile as they landed.
Goku stretched his arms, taking a deep breath. "Man, I forgot how heavy the air feels here."
But Gohan… he stood speechless.
"So this is… Lord Beerus' world?" Gohan said, looking around in awe.
"It's nothing like the Supreme Kai's realm… it's so intense!"
Every breath filled his lungs with energy.
Every heartbeat felt like thunder.
The air itself made his Saiyan blood boil with excitement.
"No wonder Vegeta's gotten so strong here," Gohan said. "If I train in this place… I could perfect my Beast form in no time."
Beerus stretched lazily, covering a yawn. "Since it's your first time here, listen carefully."
His eyes turned serious.
"You can train however you want, but don't be too loud. If you wake me from my nap… you'll regret it."
With that warning, Beerus walked away toward his temple.
His last fight with Gogeta had drained him more than he'd admit, and he was still recovering.
Goku and Gohan glanced at each other and smiled.
Then—they both turned.
Someone was coming.
A powerful, dark red aura approached fast.
Vegeta.
He landed in front of them, his presence heavy and fierce.
It had been three months since all three of them—Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta—had stood together like this.
Whis smiled quietly, sensing the tension rise in the air.
The three warriors looked at each other without saying a word.
Their Saiyan instincts spoke louder than anything.
Goku's eyes narrowed slightly.
(He's changed… his muscles, his aura—it's not just evil power. He's mastered it. Vegeta's reached a new level.)
Vegeta also studied him silently.
(Three months, Kakarot… and you still look the same. I don't buy it. There's no way you've been sitting idle.)
Then his gaze shifted to Gohan.
And this time, his expression softened slightly.
"It seems you haven't been slacking off, Gohan," Vegeta said with a rare, approving smile.
"I can tell you've grown stronger."
Gohan smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. "Hehe… I'm still learning, Uncle Vegeta."
Vegeta crossed his arms. "Don't lose that power you've worked so hard for like before. If you do, I'll be the first to call you a disappointment."
"Y-Yes, sir," Gohan said quickly, smiling nervously.
Then Vegeta's eyes shifted again—to Goku.
The calm air around them suddenly changed.
Dark red lightning crackled around Vegeta's body.
The ground trembled as his demonic aura exploded outward, covering the realm in his terrifying energy.
Goku grinned and stepped forward, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
"Heh… looks like you're dying for a fight again, huh, Vegeta?"
Vegeta smirked.
"You've been gone for three months, Kakarot. Let's see if you've gotten rusty."
Vegeta's reason for doing this was simple — he wanted to test how much stronger he'd become compared to Goku after gaining this evil power.
Whis stepped aside quietly, acting like a spectator, not planning to stop them.
(So this is evil power... Uncle Vegeta can control it even in his normal form?)
(What a powerful aura…) thought Gohan, feeling his whole body tremble under Vegeta's dark energy.
But Goku stood there, completely calm — like nothing could shake him. The moment Vegeta's evil power touched him, it vanished instantly, like smoke in the wind.
Goku smiled lightly. His eyes shone for a moment. And then — Vegeta moved.
A sudden punch filled with pure evil energy tore through the air, heading right for Goku.
BOOM!
The ground cracked beneath them, but Goku simply raised his right hand and blocked the attack with ease. The punch that could destroy mountains… stopped just like that.
Vegeta didn't look surprised. He had expected this.
"As I thought… you haven't changed a bit, Kakarot," Vegeta said seriously, his eyes narrowing.
That punch had no warning — no sound, no ki leak, nothing. Even for someone like Goku, blocking it that fast shouldn't have been possible.
"Yeah, I saw that coming," Goku replied with his usual calm smile.
"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted coldly and pulled back his hand. His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Fight me, Kakarot!!"
His voice echoed through the air like thunder.
It had been years since their last real fight. And this time, Vegeta wasn't the same man. He wasn't going to lose easily. He could feel it — that thrill, that craving for battle.
Goku smiled, rolling his shoulders. "I kinda figured you'd say that. Guess I was waiting for it."
He looked relaxed, but his eyes were serious now. "And honestly… the fight with Gohan earlier wasn't really satisfying anyway."
As soon as both agreed, the air around them grew heavy.
Whis and Gohan quickly backed away from the area.
Whis looked calm, but his eyes showed interest. He had a feeling this battle would reveal something important.
As for Gohan — he couldn't look away. Watching them fight was like witnessing a miracle. Every move, every breath — he could learn from all of it.
Vegeta's aura suddenly exploded.
Dark red energy swirled around him, and golden light shot out like fire. In a blink, he transformed — Super Saiyan 4: Evil Sublimation.
But this transformation was different. His power didn't burst out wildly like before. It was controlled, calm — terrifyingly stable.
Compared to three months ago, Vegeta was a whole new person.
"Transform, Kakarot!!" Vegeta shouted, his blood-red eyes burning with challenge.
But Goku just smiled. "I already did, Vegeta."
His dark hair floated slightly, glowing faintly. A calm, white-hot divine power surrounded him — soft but intense.
"Huh?" Vegeta frowned, feeling the divine energy but sensing it wasn't that strong. "This power… doesn't seem like much."
But something about Goku felt different. This wasn't any form he recognized.
(Did this guy create a new form in just a few months?)
(That divine power isn't stronger than mine… but something feels off.)
Vegeta's fighting spirit burned brighter, crushing his doubt.
In a flash of lightning, he charged!
WHOOSH!
A streak of black light — faster than sound, faster than thought. His attack came in less than a blink.
But Goku moved perfectly — dodging with smooth, effortless steps, like he knew every move before it happened.
Vegeta gritted his teeth, attacking again and again, fists and kicks glowing with evil light. Space itself rippled as he went all out.
But Goku's movements were flawless. Every dodge, every counter — perfect timing, no wasted motion.
(He's not just fast… it's like… he already knows where I'll hit!) Vegeta realized.
He jumped back into the air, raised both hands, and unleashed a storm of energy blasts.
Hundreds of dark red spheres filled the sky.
"Take this, Kakarot!!"
The blasts rained down like a meteor shower — but Goku didn't move.
He simply raised his hand, fired a thin beam of light — and the entire storm vanished in a flash.
At the same time, Goku dashed through the sky, his body glowing like a silver-white stream, cutting perfect arcs through the air.
Gohan's jaw dropped. "Dad… just saw through Uncle Vegeta's whole attack?!"
Even Whis looked impressed. "Hmm… interesting."
He watched Goku closely and said after a pause, "That movement… that reaction speed… it seems your father has unknowingly mastered that technique."
Gohan turned to him, confused. "That technique? What do you mean?"
Whis smiled faintly. "Ultra Instinct."
"The Ultra Instinct…"
That name made Gohan fall silent.
He had never heard it before, but just by watching his dad fight, he could feel that this state was something far beyond his own reach. His father's movements… his calmness… everything about him felt like he had stepped into another level of existence.
(Ultra Instinct... maybe this is what Dad's new form really is…)
Gohan looked back at the battlefield, his eyes focused. "Dad's movements aren't just fast," he said softly. "You can't even see him move when he dodges."
Whis nodded with a calm smile. "That's right. Extreme reaction speed and perfect dodging — that's the sign of Ultra Instinct."
He looked at Goku with real pride in his eyes. "I never expected this, but in just three months, Goku has changed this much. Even Lord Beerus hasn't mastered Ultra Instinct completely."
Whis sighed gently. It was rare for him to sound emotional, but the respect in his tone was clear.
Still, he wondered how long Goku could maintain this state. The power felt unstable, like it could vanish at any second.
(Maybe one day… he'll master it completely.)
Back on the battlefield, Vegeta was still pushing hard. His attacks were sharp and relentless, his aura burning dark red. But no matter how many times he struck, he couldn't land a single hit on Goku.
Every time Vegeta tried to connect, Goku slipped past him like mist, his body moving on its own.
Energy blasts filled the sky one after another, but even those couldn't touch Goku.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed. Hand-to-hand doesn't work. Energy attacks don't either.
He needed to change his plan — force Goku to go on the attack, and then strike when he least expected it.
"Kakarot!!" Vegeta shouted in frustration, his voice echoing through the flames. "Do you only know how to dodge?!"
Goku's lips curved into a small smile. That was all Vegeta needed to see.
Whoosh!
In a blink, Goku's body vanished. He blasted through the explosion with terrifying speed and aimed a flying kick straight at Vegeta's face.
Feeling danger, Vegeta ducked just in time — the attack missed by an inch. The sheer speed of it made his heart race.
(What the hell happened to Kakarot? Even seeing it with my own eyes… I can't follow his movements!)
(This isn't Super Saiyan... this is something else!)
Vegeta roared and threw a heavy punch, but Goku had already moved. His afterimage shimmered in the air as he dodged and countered.
Vegeta gathered more dark red energy in his fist and punched again — BOOM!
Their fists met, exploding with power that shook the entire God Realm. Both were thrown back hundreds of meters, disappearing into the smoke and fire.
Vegeta smirked through the dust. "Now that's more like it!"
He steadied himself and burst forward again, his whole body glowing with violent energy.
He punched down with everything he had, his strike splitting the ground apart. The explosion left a massive crater behind — but Goku was already gone.
A faint cut appeared on Vegeta's cheek, a single drop of blood rolling down.
"Tch…" Vegeta wiped it away, the wound healing instantly as his aura flared back up. He turned sharply toward Goku, his eyes cold but full of excitement.
Meanwhile, Goku looked at his own hands, surprised. His new form was stronger than he thought.
(So this is Ultra Instinct… It's weaker than Super Saiyan 5 in raw power, but my speed, my reactions… they're on another level.)
He smiled slightly. (I can still go higher… This fight will help me control it better.)
Without another word, Goku vanished again. His body moved faster than lightning — faster than thought.
"Don't underestimate me, Kakarot!!!" Vegeta shouted, his aura roaring like fire.
Dark red energy swirled around him, forming two massive claws of evil ki. He swung them down, splitting the air apart.
But Goku stayed calm. He weaved through every strike, his movements clean and graceful, and then — BAM! — appeared right in front of Vegeta, countering in a flash.
In less than a second, they exchanged hundreds of blows.
Feeling cornered, Vegeta gathered all his power and created an evil energy barrier around himself — thick and unbreakable.
But Goku didn't stop.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each punch and kick landed like thunder, shaking space itself. The barrier began to crack under the pressure — tiny lines spreading fast.
CRACK… BOOM!
The barrier shattered.
Vegeta grinned fiercely, stepping in again. "Let's see how long you can keep dodging!!"
They clashed once more — fist to fist, kick to kick — every collision sending shockwaves through the sky.
At their level, even a single hit could destroy a galaxy. If this wasn't the God Realm, everything around them would have been erased.
Their speed kept rising, their power kept growing.
Goku's movements became sharper — faster — as if the fight itself was teaching him. Each punch from Vegeta pushed him to move more freely, more instinctively.
And Vegeta — his fighting instincts were sharpening too. Every strike, every block — he was adapting, learning, evolving.
He could feel it. His heart raced, blood burning.
"This… this is what I live for!!" Vegeta shouted, a wild grin spreading across his face as his aura blazed brighter than ever.
Under growing pressure, Vegeta lost control and exploded with rage.
"Don't get too full of yourself, Kakarot!!" he shouted, his dark red aura bursting around him. In an instant, Vegeta charged forward, punching Goku in the chest with unbelievable speed and power.
Goku quickly crossed his arms to block, but—
BOOM!
The impact sent him flying high into the sky, crashing through clouds and shaking the entire realm.
"So strong…!" Goku muttered, surprised by Vegeta's sudden power-up. He could feel that Vegeta's "Super Saiyan 4 Evil Form" had reached another level.
Before Goku could react, Vegeta appeared right in front of him again, moving like a raging storm. His punches and kicks came one after another, each carrying terrifying force.
Even with the unstable power of Ultra Instinct, Goku could only stay on defense. Right now, Vegeta completely dominated the fight.
But as their clash continued, Goku's movements became faster and smoother. His body started reacting on its own — dodging without thinking, striking with perfect timing. Slowly, the gap between them began to close. Soon, Vegeta's advantage faded, and Goku started to push him back!
On the sidelines, Gohan and Whis watched in awe.
Even Beerus, who had been dozing off in his pajamas on the tall tree in the middle of the God Realm, suddenly opened his eyes. His sleepiness was gone the moment he felt the battle's power shaking the realm.
"Dad's movements… they're not like before," Gohan said, his eyes wide. "After dodging, he strikes right away with perfect timing. I thought my Beast Form was similar, but now I see I was wrong."
He clenched his fists. "This must be the Ultra Instinct state!"
Whis smiled softly beside him. "You're right, Gohan. Goku has only just entered the realm of Ultra Instinct. But thanks to this battle with Vegeta, he's improving fast. If he continues like this, he might reach the next stage soon."
Gohan turned to Whis, surprised. "Next stage? You mean… there's more?"
Whis nodded. "Yes. To truly master Ultra Instinct, Goku needs to train with divine energy — to enter the realm of gods. Right now, he's using it like a transformation. But that's not what Ultra Instinct is."
"Not a transformation?" Gohan blinked in confusion. "Then what is it?"
"It's a state of mind," Whis explained calmly. "A perfect connection between body and soul. You Saiyans depend too much on transformations. But Ultra Instinct isn't about changing your form — it's about letting go completely."
Gohan's eyes widened as he listened carefully.
[So… if it's not a transformation, then maybe I can reach it too. If I combine it with my Beast Form… I could surpass even Dad and Uncle Vegeta!]
Whis could sense Gohan's thoughts and chuckled softly. "It's not easy, you know. Even Lord Beerus hasn't mastered it fully. The path of Ultra Instinct is one even gods struggle to walk."
Gohan smiled confidently. "Then I'll walk it too."
At the same time, far away in the dark space between galaxies, something dangerous was happening.
A god from another universe had entered Universe 7 without permission — breaking every rule of the multiverse.
It was Zamasu, the trainee Kai from Universe 10.
In his master's room, he had found the recording of the Tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7. When he saw mortals — especially Saiyans — surpassing the gods themselves, rage filled his heart.
"How dare mortals rise above the gods…" he muttered, his eyes burning with hatred.
Driven by anger, Zamasu forced Zuno, the all-knowing sage, to tell him the locations of the Super Dragon Balls. Using his divine powers, he traveled across Universes 6 and 7, collecting all seven within half a day.
Normally, the Super Dragon Balls need hundreds of years before they can be used again. But Zamasu didn't care. His pride blinded him to the danger of the negative energy building inside them.
Standing in the middle of space, surrounded by the seven planet-sized orbs, Zamasu raised his hand and shouted in the divine language:
"Come forth, Super Shenron! Grant my wish!"
The orbs shone with blinding golden light. Galaxies trembled. Then, a massive golden dragon emerged — so large that even stars looked like dust beside him.
Zamasu was pulled into the divine light and stood before Super Shenron himself.
"Speak your wish," the dragon's deep voice echoed across the void.
Zamasu thought for a moment, then smiled darkly.
"Switch my body with Vegeta from Universe 7."
Super Shenron's eyes glowed red. "So be it."
A surge of divine power shot across the universe — heading straight toward Vegeta.
And in that moment… everything began to change.
The world of the God of Sectruction was shaking with destruction.
The battle between Goku and Vegeta was becoming more and more intense.
Their auras — one silver-white and the other dark red — clashed again and again, lighting up the entire sky of the God Realm.
Goku used Vegeta's new "Super Saiyan 4 Evil Form" to push his Ultra Instinct even further.
At the same time, Vegeta was learning to control his evil power more perfectly through their fight.
The two Saiyans kept growing stronger — like rivals meant to evolve together.
But suddenly, everything changed.
An enormous divine will descended from the heavens — the power of the Super Dragon itself.
"My… my body!!" Vegeta shouted, clutching his chest. His energy went wild as if something invisible was trying to rip his soul out.
"Vegeta!!" Goku stopped fighting. His eyes widened when he sensed the strange power around Vegeta.
That aura… it was familiar.
"This is… the power of the Super Dragon?!"
"Uuuuaaaaaaahhh!!!" Vegeta roared, trying to resist. His body shook as his soul fought desperately against the divine force pulling at him.
Even though he didn't know what was happening, one thing was clear — the Saiyan prince would never surrender.
His pride wouldn't allow anyone to take his body.
"Stop… it!!!" Vegeta shouted, his voice echoing like thunder.
Then—
BOOOOM!!!
A massive explosion of dark red energy burst from him, creating a storm that could swallow the whole God Realm.
Goku crossed his arms in front of his face, defending himself from the violent aura.
"What's going on?! This isn't from our fight… it's like something is trying to take Vegeta's body!"
He froze for a second as a thought struck him.
[Wait… this power… Super Dragon Balls?!]
[No way… could it be… Zamasu?!]
The memory hit him — the future world, where Zamasu had stolen Goku's body using the Super Dragon Balls.
Could the same thing be happening now — only this time, with Vegeta?!
"Aaaaaarrrghhh!!!" Vegeta roared again. His eyes glowed blood-red, and dark patterns began to crawl across his skin.
The evil energy inside him exploded, fighting against the Super Dragon's power.
"Damn it!" Goku gritted his teeth. "If Vegeta keeps this up, he'll lose his mind and become a full demon… but if he stops, Zamasu will steal his body completely!"
He clenched his fists helplessly. There was nothing he could do.
At the same time, far away, Gohan and Whis were watching everything.
"Uncle Vegeta… is he losing control?" Gohan asked, his voice tense.
Whis shook his head slowly. "No, Gohan. He's not going berserk — he's resisting something. Some unknown power is trying to take his body."
Vegeta's energy flared like a dying star, shaking the whole realm. He was burning through everything he had just to resist.
If he ran out of power, he would lose his body — and Zamasu would take over.
Whis frowned, raising his angel staff. A light blue glow surrounded him as he searched through the universe.
Moments later, a dark image appeared inside his staff — Zamasu standing before the Super Dragon, making his wish.
Whis' eyes narrowed. "A Kai from another universe? How dare he enter Universe 7… and he's gathered the Super Dragon Balls too…"
Then, it all clicked for him.
Three months ago, Goku had told him about another timeline — one where Zamasu used the Super Dragon Balls to steal his body.
Now, in this reality, the same thing was happening again — but this time, Zamasu had chosen Vegeta.
"Unbelievable," Whis murmured, his tone cold.
He immediately extended his hand. Divine angelic power surged across the entire God Realm, covering it in pure light.
The energy formed a massive invisible barrier that cut off the Super Dragon's power.
The pulling sensation on Vegeta's body vanished instantly.
"Ugh…" Vegeta gasped. His body dropped from the sky and hit the ground hard. He was drenched in sweat, his breath ragged.
His energy was all over the place — weak and unstable.
He dug his hands into the ground, panting heavily. "Tch… damn it…"
If he hadn't unleashed his evil power to resist, he knew he'd be gone.
"It's okay now," Goku said, feeling Whis' calm angelic energy filling the air. He landed beside Vegeta and released his Ultra Instinct form.
"Vegeta, you alright?"
"Hmph." Vegeta turned his head away, still breathing hard. "Don't ask stupid questions…" He forced himself to stand up, his aura slowly returning.
Just then, Gohan and Whis appeared next to them.
"Whis," Vegeta said, his voice still sharp, "what the hell was that?!"
Whis tapped his staff lightly, and a shining image appeared — showing Zamasu making his wish to the Super Dragon.
Goku's face darkened the moment he saw it. "It's him… Zamasu!!"
"Who's that green freak?" Vegeta frowned, anger rising again.
"That's the guy I told you about," Goku said, his tone serious. "The one who stole my body in another timeline. He calls himself a god… but he's just a twisted maniac."
Vegeta's eyes widened slightly as he remembered Goku's story.
"That bastard… the one who destroyed Trunks' future world?"
Goku nodded. "Yeah. And now he's after you."
Vegeta clenched his fists tightly. His eyes burned with fury. "He made a big mistake."
For the first time, even Whis looked uneasy.
Because this time… Zamasu wasn't just trying to steal a body.
He was challenging the balance of the entire multiverse.
Zamasu!!
Anger come in Goku's eyes. The memory of the future world — the destruction, the pain, everything Zamasu caused — flashed before him. He clenched his fists tightly.
"I won't let that happen again… not in this world!" he growled.
Goku pressed two fingers to his forehead. His energy flared, and his mind spread through the seventh universe, trying to sense Zamasu's ki. But no matter how far he searched — nothing. It was like Zamasu's presence had vanished completely.
"Your mind can't reach him right now," Whis said calmly, floating nearby. "Zamasu is inside Super Shenron's core. Only when he leaves can you teleport to him."
Goku frowned. "So we just… wait? What if he makes a wish that makes him unstoppable, or worse — escapes to another world?"
Whis didn't answer. The silence made Goku's heart race even faster.
Inside the core of Super Shenron.
Zamasu floated in a void of golden light, staring at his body. Nothing had changed. His voice was cold, full of pride and fury.
"Why hasn't my wish been granted?"
Super Shenron's massive red eyes glowed in the darkness.
"This wish cannot be fulfilled. Please make another."
"What?!" Zamasu's voice cracked with rage. "That's impossible! You were created by the Dragon God, Zalama! No god can defy you! Then tell me—why?!"
Super Shenron's voice echoed again, calm and deep.
"Angel Whis."
Zamasu froze. His eyes widened.
"The one stopping me… is an angel?"
His heartbeat quickened. Only Zeno outranked the dragons. But angels weren't gods — they existed beyond divine law.
"Damn it…" he hissed, clenching his fists. "They found me faster than I expected."
He took a breath and calmed himself. "If I can't take Vegeta's body… I'll change my wish."
"Then what do you desire now?" the dragon asked.
Zamasu's lips curved into a dark smile.
"Make me immortal."
Super Shenron's eyes flashed bright red.
A wave of blood-red light wrapped around Zamasu, and power flooded through his body.
"Your wish has been granted. Goodbye."
A golden light exploded across the void. The dragon vanished, and the seven Super Dragon Balls scattered once more between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
At that very moment, Goku's eyes opened wide. "I feel him! His energy… it's full of anger!"
"Then what are you waiting for?!" Vegeta growled, slamming a hand on Goku's shoulder. "Let's go, Kakarot!"
In a flash, Goku used Instant Transmission. Both Saiyans appeared before Zamasu, who was still feeling the power of his new immortal body.
Before Zamasu could even react—
"Zamasu," Goku said coldly, his aura burning around him. "This time, you're not getting away."
He raised his hand, gathering the power of destruction. The air trembled around his palm.
Zamasu's eyes widened. "Saiyans… Goku and Vegeta!" His instinct screamed at him to run, but the destructive energy locked onto him like death itself.
"Move aside, Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled, shoving Goku away. His aura flared dark purple, energy pulsing like a beating heart.
"You bastard dared to mess with my body," he snarled. "You're done for!"
"Big Bang—ATTACK!!"
The blast roared through space, swallowing Zamasu in pure destructive light. The explosion tore through the stars, shaking the void itself.
"Vegeta! Stop! Don't—!!" Goku shouted, but it was too late.
The explosion expanded, then shrank again as Vegeta clenched his fist, causing a second burst that erased everything within light-years.
Vegeta smirked, breathing hard. "Hmph. That's what you get for trying to mess with the Saiyan prince."
Goku sighed, lowering his hands. "You still don't get it, Vegeta… that won't kill him."
Vegeta frowned. "What do you mean? He's gone!"
Before Goku could reply, a calm voice echoed behind them.
Whis appeared, holding his staff, his eyes focused on the dark emptiness in front of them. "It seems," he said quietly, "that the man has escaped."
"What?!" Vegeta shouted, his face frozen. "That can't be! I blew him to dust!"
Whis shook his head slowly. "You did. But… his body can no longer die. The wish he made to Super Shenron — was for immortality."
Vegeta's fists trembled. His eyes burned with rage. "Tch… that damn Pokemon bastard."
Goku clenched his fist, his voice calm but sharp. "Then we'll just have to find another way. No matter what… we'll stop him."
