Flying to another part of the galaxy, the pair attempted to outgun each other with their speed. But after a few seconds of playing cat and mouse, the demi-Saiyan managed to cut Set off and blindside her with a shoulder tackle. He slammed her in the side and sent her spinning off in another direction, allowing him to give chase.
Growling in frustration at being intercepted so easily, the fox deity spun about in mid-flight and watched her opponent come charging after her. Fists clenching tightly, Set then cracked open a hand and began gathering energy into a sphere, which quickly took the form of black matter surrounded by orange fire. "Try and dodge this, you piece of shit!" After concentrating an enormous amount of energy above her palm, the goddess used her other one to stabilize it and, after compressing the sphere even more so that it was the size of a tennis ball, took aim at her target and yelled. "Disappear into oblivion! Black Hole!" Set thrust her hand forward, pitching the black sphere straight towards her adversary.
Gohan, spotting the approaching attack, skidded to a stop and attempted to avoid it. But the attack tracked him and slammed into his stomach, propelling him in the opposite direction at a ridiculous speed.
Trapped against the enormous gravitational pull of the ball of matter, the demi-Saiyan was unable to do anything when, all of a sudden, the black sphere began drawing in everything around it. In a matter of seconds, asteroids, moons and planets of all shapes and sizes were yanked towards Gohan's position and crashed together one after the other. The incredible suction power of the attack was so great that it began mashing the planets together into a single, uneven mass, with even more space debris coming in by the second.
Feeling the crushing pressure of billions of tons of matter pushing down on him from all sides, the thoroughly trapped Saiyan gritted his teeth angrily as the black orb at his chest threatened to crush him into oblivion. "I… can't… let it… end!" Gohan growled while bolts of red lightning ran up and down his body. With the weight of a dozen worlds pressing down on him, it was easy to see how much pain this attack was causing him, "I can't! Not now!"
As the attack continued to draw in planets at high speed, including a nearby sun which began to break apart, Set, maintaining her position in the vacuum, grinned manically and took aim with her finger. "There's no getting out of this! It's over!" Focusing her energy and producing a bright orange glow from the tip, the woman allowed for a moment to catch her breath before letting loose her attack. "Die!" She then unleashed a powerful beam from her finger, sending it rocketing towards the growing collection of planets and rubble, and piercing it effortlessly.
His teeth clenching in rage as he sensed the attack burrowing towards him, Gohan's eyes then flickered before, spurred on by the images of Videl's death, as well as the demise of his friends and his home, the demi-Saiyan curled up, took a deep breath, and threw his head back with a mighty howl. "NO! I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY MY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!" His red aura exploded from his body with multiple shockwaves, dispelling the black hole pressed into his chest, disintegrating the rocks crushing him, and repelling Set's blast effortlessly. Energy skyrocketing, his aura not only shot through the cracks between the spherical bodies pressing tightly together, it also freed him from the prison of rubble and magma. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGH!"
Set had to shield herself when the shockwaves from the teen's outburst rippled out from the mash of planets and struck her like a tsunami, causing her eyes to widen in shock.
Aura blazing like a strobe, Gohan tore through the surrounding layers of rock and mantle. Using his senses to mark a path, he tunneled his way out of the coffin of spheres at high speed and exited its northernmost pole in a spectacular shower of lava and rubble. As the body of planets began to collapse on themselves, the teen kicked his thrusters into action and streaked towards Set in a blur. With a loud battle cry he crashed into her with a punch, slamming it across her face and knocking the goddess senseless.
The teen chased after her, laying into the vixen's body with multiple blows until his kick was blocked by a well-timed check. After that the pair immediately began trading shots, more shockwaves reverberating throughout the heavens as they dueled at speeds no other warrior could reach. Eventually breaking off, Set gained some distance and, thrusting her hand out, launched a barrage of multiple ki blasts towards her target. The bombardment chased Gohan across the outer rim of the galaxy, blasting out planets and stars one after the other before the demi-Saiyan hit the accelerator and arced towards Set like a missile.
As he converged on her, avoiding the hail of blasts, he then thrust both hands forward and unleashed a salvo of his own. The blue attacks hurled by the Super Saiyan intercepted the golden ones, colliding in the center and exploding with enough force it took out another chunk of the galaxy they were in.
With the sector collapsing around them and becoming engulfed in super nova sized explosions, Set quickly bailed on her attempt to shoot down the teen and shot off into the cosmos. Gohan sent a hail of ki blasts after her, but when the deity arced around and effectively avoided the attacks that exploded uselessly in the distance, the demi-Saiyan clicked his tongue irritably.
"Damn mosquito." Sucking it in, Gohan held his hands outwards and took aim. Then, after gathering a substantial amount of energy, he slapped them together with a loud 'clap'. "Hold still!"
All of a sudden, while Set was speedily flying away from her adversary, the woman gave a yelp of surprise when a transparent wall of energy formed on either side of her, before slamming together and sealing her in a red pane of glass. Flattened inside the powerful seal, the startled vixen was unable to do anything when Gohan teleported directly beside her and, with a shout, punched the glass and shattered it into thousands of pieces.
When the shards scattered, they spilled out multiple purple streams of ki that quickly converged around a single point and reformed into the God of Storms. Gasping in shock with blood trickling down her face, the woman's eyes snapped in the direction of her enemy in bewilderment.
"He's fucking crazy!" Alarmed at how proficiently the Saiyan was using his celestial ki, the woman decided to get some more distance and quickly teleported in a puff of black smoke.
Appearing well outside of the galaxy they were fighting in so that she could see the entire star system all the way to its center, Set took aim with her hands before beginning to blast the shit out of it. "Go to hell, you prick!" Her hands thrust out one after the other, unleashing a hail of powerful orange energy spheres towards the area Gohan was in and began mercilessly decimating it.
Reacting instantly, the demi-Saiyan powered up and shot across the spiral galaxy, avoiding the salvo of attacks that started taking out stars by the droves.
From a distance, as Set chased her target with her barrage of Continuous Energy Bullets, countless sphere shaped explosions ripped across the cluster of systems until there was no galaxy left. With the explosions dying out, leaving nothing but dust and debris in the attack's wake, the goddess continued lobbing blasts after the retreating demi-Saiyan, who streaked past a quasar that got caught in the crossfire and became disintegrated in a similar manner to the galaxy that'd served as their battleground.
Just as another one was being subjected to the assault, the fox deity snarled. "Where do you think you're going?!" Cupping her hands in front of her, Set yelled out at the top of her lungs and unleashed a powerful beam of golden energy towards the large irregular galaxy the teen had flown into. "DISAPPEAR!" The attack struck its center in the blink of an eye and engulfed the entire star system in a massive hyper nova that wiped out the entire area effortlessly.
The blast was so enormous and so bright that it could easily be seen from other nearby clusters.
Lowering her arms, the woman huffed excitedly as she began searching for her opponent, who had seemingly disappeared amidst the chaos of her assault. But just as she was beginning to hone in on his position, her eyes widened in shock before snapping around to see his form rematerialize out of golden photons of light directly behind her and charge at her with a battle roar.
In the blink of an eye, the young warrior shot past her, hitting her with a running blow that knocked her back and had her cough up blood.
Expression conveying shock and disbelief, Set then glared after her target. Blue aura springing up around her, the goddess's eyes shone a bright red before, with a bellow of rage, Set threw her limbs out and unleashed a storm of countless energy blasts from her body. The attack indiscriminately scattered, not only forcing Gohan to dodge more erratically, but also peppering and taking out several other bodies in the super cluster. Galaxies were either wiped out or suffered extreme damaged as the enraged goddess let loose all of her pent up anger and frustration upon the quadrant, with the assault soon dying off and leaving her floating in place panting heavily, but ultimately unsatisfied.
Gritting her teeth, the woman then looked to her right to see her adversary teleport into view and swing up at her with a punch. She quickly cocked back her fist and thrust in with a counter, only for her fist to pass through an after image. Before she could withdraw it, a punch from below knocked her upwards, allowing Gohan to get around her stunned form and kick her in the side. The blow produced an earsplitting shockwave and sent Set's body barreling across the sector.
The force of the attack knocked Set for a loop, sending her into a ragdoll like spin that had her passing galaxies left and right. Eventually the woman managed to halt her flight with a quick burst of ki, stopping her dead and allowing her to descend to the surface of a large moon.
As she descended from her flight, bolts of blue lightning began shooting off of her and into space, followed by a black aura that started to bleed out of her pores. A murderous look appearing across her face, the fox goddess then snapped her eyes towards a distant red galaxy shining like a beacon against the backdrop of infinite stars. After considering it for several seconds, her gaze quickly shifted back to her distant target. "Let's see you try and block this." Holding her left hand out to the star cluster as her body became incased in black flames, the entire spiral system became extinguished and all of its energy was sucked into her palm. "My ultimate move. There's not a creature alive, God or Demon, which can withstand an attack of this magnitude!"
As her left hand became filled with glowing red energy from the galaxy, Set then threw her right hand out and drew on the energy from a nearby quasar, taking its entire form and compressing it into her palm. The energy from both the celestial bodies became absorbed into her palms faster than the laws of physics permitted and, once she'd compressed the energy of two galaxies into a red and blue sphere, she mashed them together in front of her and molded it into a purple, basketball sized ball of pulsing energy.
With bolts of blue lightning shooting off of her shadowy form, the enraged goddess snarled and took aim at the cosmos in front of her.
Landing on an enormous terrestrial planet several galaxies away, Gohan looked across in alarm when he sensed the enormous build-up of energy in the distance. After seeing two separate celestial masses get sucked into a single point and watching that source burn brightly on the horizon, the demi-Saiyan gritted his teeth and took a stance.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa… wait just a damn second," Gohan murmured, eyes wide in horror as beads of sweat ran down his face. "Does she plan on firing that at me? The way she's distorting and altering the energy of those quasars, she's built up enough power to wipe out half the quadrant with one shot!" She was compressing several galaxies worth of ki into a single sphere, warping the laws of physics with enough energy to simulate her own big bang.
It seemed impossible in theory, but the laws of earth's physics didn't apply to her. Right now, the goddess was altering existing physics and changing it to suit her means, producing enough energy for an attack that had the potential to wipe out a significant portion of the universe. Hell, the amount of energy she was holding right now was almost comparable to the dawn of creation.
This was definitely not good.
Clenching his jaw tightly and powering up, Gohan cupped his hands beside him and began focusing his energy. "Fuck! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" If he didn't match a counter to this attack, then he could kiss the entire Northern Quadrant goodbye. So, maxing out whatever power he had and drawing on energy from his surroundings, the teenager produced a massive blue sphere of ki between his palms and continued pouring all the energy he could into it.
With red bolts of electricity streaming off of his glowing form, the young Super Saiyan was producing so much power that the entire planet he was standing on began to shake and crack, with the landscape crumbling under the sheer amount of energy being built up. Gravity shifted drastically once more, with every chunk of land and satellite in the vicinity beginning to orbit his position. Even the planets that were once traversing a path around the nearest star shifted and began orbiting around him.
Expression scrunched up tightly, Gohan felt all the muscles in his body screaming at him in protest as the enormous amount of energy he was producing pulsed and burned between his hands. Blood beginning to drip out of his nose with the amount of ki he was trying to compress, the half-Saiyan pushed on, determined to stop his opponent at any cost. "Come on, body! Don't quit on me now!" His aura blasting out at an even fiercer rate, the gutsy warrior began to chant. "Kaaa…. Meee…"
With her own body trembling violently and blood beginning to trickle out of every orifice on her face, Set grinned excitedly as she glared across the cosmos towards her opponent in the distance. "Yes! That's it! That's exactly what I want to see! Wow… what power!" the woman barked, thrilled that she was finally able to meet an enemy who could match her blow for blow. "You are, by far, the greatest opponent I have ever faced! Kai, I love that no-die-attitude! You are absolutely incredible!" She then laughed as she threw her hands above her head, the purple sphere's light intensifying and the power in it increasing several times over. "It's a shame it has to end now! I was planning on using this blast to recreate the universe in my image, but you will do just fine, handsome! "
Gohan, hearing her loud and clear via his telepathic connection to her, gritted his teeth as his eyes began to bleed. "Haaa… Meee!" Energy pouring in from the surrounding stars, a loud clap of thunder rang out as the entire planet he was on splintered. The aura blazing from his body pulsed as brightly as a quasar, flashing across the entire galaxy he was in while the energy in his palms gained stability.
In a matter of seconds, he was ready.
On the other side of the spectrum, so was his opponent.
Pulling her arms back, Set roared out at the top of her lungs. "Let's see which of us cracks first! CELESTIAL SPEAR: INFINITY BIG BANG STORM!" Then, all at once, she unleashed the largest blast ever conceived by a living organism, which left her hands in a blinding flash of light that could be seen from every corner of the quadrant. "BURN IN THE EVERLASTING HELLFIRES OF CREATION! BE UTTERLY ANNIHILATED! RIGHT DOWN TO THE VERY LAST ATOM!"
A deafening howl rang out across the cosmos when a bright, purple and green blast exploded from her palms and rocketed towards the distant galaxy. The attack leaving her palms was so big and so vast that it literally dwarfed the quasars in their sector by several times. They were like pebbles to a wave. In Gohan's eyes, the blast took the form of a massive wall of energy with the destructive potential to invert the entire face of the universe and blast a hole between dimensions.
However, not one to give up without a fight, the demi-Saiyan bucked up and, with a bellowing roar of his own, launched his attack at the approaching tidal wave.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
A gargantuan blue beam left Gohan's hands with a thunderous howl, rocketing towards the approaching tempest and hitting it head on. The impact between the two was gigantic, generating a sphere in the center so large it swallowed up several galaxies and quasars that were too close to the fire and disintegrated them. The impact also created a repulsive shockwave that pushed many others in the vicinity out of the way, allowing the pair to clash in the biggest tug-of-war battle in history.
Both blasts drilled into each other like opposing vortexes, twisting and warping the very fabric of reality in its center. In the central mass being produced by the attacks, countless galaxies were born, grown, and destroyed all at once, creating explosion after explosion with enough force that the entire quadrant trembled. Though this part of the universe so close to earth remained devoid of life, all across the cosmos civilizations turned to the skies and saw the energy clash taking place before their very eyes.
The clash was so vast that the display was almost surreal.
From where Whis remained suspended on the terrace back on earth, as the attendant stared up at the sky he could literally see the two blasts launched by both warriors crashing into each other at infinitum, as if the battle itself was taking place in the earth's stratosphere. In reality, the fight was taking place billions of light years away, defying all the laws of reality. The sight of it had the man gawking in both awe and terror.
One of them had to give way eventually. But before that, you could bet that more destruction was sure to follow in the wake of this epic struggle.
