Battle Across The Omniverse

Chapter 347: The Tournament of Destroyers 7/7



Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Neutral Space, Nameless Planet - Age 779

After learning of Hit's true age, Goku respectfully salutes him before he once again takes his iconic fighting stance and states, "Well then, let's start!"

Goku then starts the match and charges towards Hit, appearing behind feinting a punch before quickly transitioning into a sweeping kick, but before his leg can touch Hit, he uses Time Skip and counters with a front kick to the gut that knocks him away.

After he regains his balance, Goku holds his stomach with both hands and comments, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! The attack was invisible and heavy, too!" before he quickly stands upright and says, "Alright, this time..."

Goku then charges toward Hit onca again, he quickly changes direction two times trying to confuse Hit before he attacks with a flying kick from the side, but again Hit uses Time Skip and easily lands another blow pushing him back.

However, Goku doesn't give up and tries again, and while continuing to use various maneuvers and angles searching for some kind of opening, however, the result is always the same, Hit uses Time Skip and then lands a blow on Goku.

After a series of trial-and-error, Hit stares at Goku's figure as he is recovering from the last blow with his red eyes and says in a plain tone, "It's useless, no matter how many times you try. No matter how strong you are, if you continue to get hit on your vital parts for long, you will die. Surrender."

However, Goku chuckles and says, "I won't surrender." before he reveals, "Because, I just got a hint about how to counter your attacks."

In response to that revelation, Hit frows and says, "A hint?" making Goku grin and confirm, "Yeah, that's right." but Hit doesn't believe him and asks, "Are you bluffing?"

Goku again takes his fighting stance and says, "Well, why don't you see for yourself?" before he charges towards him again. 

This time, when Hit uses Time Skip and tries to attack, Goku blocks the attack, which slightly surprises Hit as Goku chuckles and says, "Hehe. How about that? I countered it. I countered your Time Skip technique." 

Goku then attacks again, managing to put a scratch on Hit's cheek, surprising both Champa and Beerus while Goku celebrates, "Alright! I scratched you!" 

However, Hit glares at Goku and dismisses it by saying, "Just a fluke." but Goku appears much more relaxed as he asks, "Oh, a fluke, huh?" before he takes his stance and states, "Well then, one more time!"

Goku then charges and manages to block another attack from Hit, and then he retaliates, knocking Hit back with a kick that transitions from a roundhouse kick to a side kick shocking everyone.

Goku then reveals, "Isn't 0.1 seconds the limit of your Time Skip? I quickly predict how your movements will be after 0.1 seconds of time."

Hearing that, Hit realizes, "So that's what's going on." before he takes his hands out of his pockets and swipes away the blood on his cheek. 

Seeing that, Goku chuckles and asks, "Hehehe. So, you'll finally fight me seriously?" before he turns serious and states, "Well then, I will, use my full power, too!" 

Shortly after saying that, Goku focuses his Ki and transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue before saying, "Sorry to keep ya waiting!"

At the same time, I hear an upset Vegeta comment, "Predicting how his movements will be after 0.1 seconds of time? It's... It's not as easy as it sounds!" followed by Piccolo who adds, "Even so, that idiot... Why did he reveal his secret to his opponent?"

It seems that Hit thinks the same as he asks, "Was that a good idea? You revealed your secret to me, So, now I can move in a different, unpredictable way." but Goku casually replies, "No. To change your natural reaction in a short amount of time is not that easy. Wonder if you can keep up with my speed now!?"

Afterward, Goku and Hit continue their match as the two begin a fierce exchange of moves, while Krillin is surprised that Hit is able to keep up with Super Saiyan Blue Goku, however, Goku asks, "What's wrong? Aren't ya gonna use Time Skip?" before he lands a few heavy blows on Hit pushing him back. 

Goku clearly has the upper hand during these last exchanges after Goku manages to counter Hit's Time-Skip, something which infuriates Hit, who realizes, "This is... my current limit." before Goku requests, "Now, hurry and use Time Skip."

Hit glares at Goku for a few moments before he takes his fighting stance and says, "As you wish."

Then Hit charges toward Goku, uses Time Skip, and attacks but Goku correctly predicts his move, barely dodges his punch, and counters with a punch to the gut followed by a kick that sends Hit crashing on the floor with such force that creates a small crater. 

Seeing this scene makes Bulma and the other cheer while Champa comments in shock, "No... Time Skip is invincible!" followed by Vados who calmly says, "Not anymore, it seems."

On the other side, Beerus comments proudly, "That truly is my Goku." but Whis quickly corrects him, "Oh no, Goku-san is all mine."

Even Son Goza beside me let out a sigh and commented, "As expected from Father. He took advantage of Vegeta's battle with Hit to observe and memorize his natural reactions and movements. It is still a wonder watching just how devious and brilliant he can be when it is something related to fighting."

At the same time, Goku stares at Hit's figure as he gets up from the floor and asks in a mocking tone, "Are ya gonna surrender?"

In response, Hit attempts to get stronger by shouting while flaring up his Ki, the same way Goku does, surprising everyone, especially Goku who exclaims while Hit is opening and closing his fist checking something, "T-That was surprising. You scream while powering up, too!"

Shortly after that, the two start to battle but it is clear to everyone that Hit's previous attempt did not change anything in any way as his performance is apparently the same as before, in fact, even Champa is confused by that as he asks Vados, "H-Hey. After that scream, he's supposed to get stronger, right?" but Vados shrugs her shoulders and says, "I don't know if that's true." which makes Champa exclaim, "Then, we can't win!? Do you mean to say that the Sixth Universe will lose!?"

In response to the God of Destruction of the 6th Universe's question, Vados smirks and says, "Well... I don't think that will be the case."

Looking at the ongoing exchange between Goku and Hit, I immediately notice that Hit is improving with every single clash and that at any point, he is going to land a successful blow. 

As I expected when Goku pushed back Hit with a punch and then chased after him in an attempt to punch him, Hit used his Time Skip again and landed a heavy blow to Goku in his abdomen making him kneel over in pain.

After that, Hit again opens and closes his fist, focusing on it, and says, "So that's how it is."

Meanwhile, the referee moves closer and asks, "A-Are you okay?" before he asks again, "Can you continue?" but since Goku isn't responding and is still kneeling over in pain, the referee decides to make a call, "And... The winner is..."

Suddenly, Goku slams his hand on the floor and calls out, "Wait!" before he slowly stands up and says, "I can still fight!"

At the same time, I hear Vegeta comment, "That screaming was a sign of powering up, after all." but Whis quickly corrects him, "No." followed by Vados who says, "His form is still the same as before."

Hearing that, a curious Champa asks, "What do you mean?" to which the Angel from the 6th Universe replies, "Hit simply decided to imitate the way Goku-san transforms."

Hit waits for Goku to fully stand and seems to continue Vados' explanation by saying, "You Saiyans are able to power up by simply transforming. But, for me, there is only one way to get stronger."

 

At this point, Piccolo realizes, "I-Improvement." which makes Vegeta exclaim, "What did you just say!?" Piccolo then further explains with clear shock in his tone, "Hit improved even in such a short amount of time."

Just like Piccolo realized, Hit continues his explanation, "Improvement. I never thought about improving, even once. Because there was no need to. But after looking at you, I thought that maybe I could get better than I already am, too. And so, I was able to increase the limit of Time Skip to 0.2 seconds."

Hit's last revelation shocks everyone, but then Champa stands up, starts to laugh out loud, and yells, "Hahaha! All right, all right! You're the best!" before he orders, "All right! Hit! Now, deliver the final blow!"

But Hit doesn't make a move and continues to look at Goku as he tries to get on his feet which makes Champa yell, "What are you waiting for? Do it, now!"

In response, Hit closes his eyes for a moment, then when he opens them again he looks at Goku and plainly says, "Hurry and stand up." 

Hearing that, Goku gathers his bearing and slowly stands up breathing heavily before he asks, "Are you sure about this?" to which he calmly answers, "I was able to improve because of you. So, I am paying my debt. Now we're even." while an upset Champa yells, "Damn you Hit! Don't ignore me!"

Goku jumps back to create some distance between him and Hit before he takes his fighting stance and gets ready for another round.

At the same time, Hit takes a new fighting stance, this one is more upright and reminds me slightly of a Muay Thai stance with his hands open in a relaxed manner, and elbows in a wider position compared to the usual Orthodox Muay Thai stance.

Goku immediately notices the change while Hit honestly explains, "This stance will help me utilize all of my newly found potential."

At this point, Goku and Hit glare at each other, neither making a reckless move, and at some point, Goku starts to grin making the Supreme Kai of Universe 6 exclaim, "H-How can he smile at a time like this?" which makes the Old Supreme Kai simply chuckle in response but doesn't say anything else.

Meanwhile, as the two fighters continue to stare at one other without making any move, Hit who understood his opponent's aim suddenly says, "You're looking at this the wrong way, Son Goku. You're intending to take a few of my attacks." 

In response to those words, Goku frows showing that Hit hit the mark and then, Hit continues with his speech, "And while enduring those attacks, you'll try to get used to my movements which are 0.2 seconds faster."

Then Hit uses Time Skip and basically assaults Goku with a barrage of punches for 0.5 seconds which is quite a lot of time considering his speed, before he returns to his starting position back to his new fighting stance and concludes, "I am still improving."

Shortly after saying that, Hit turns his back as Goku powerlessly falls on the floor at the same time, and then he says, "You cannot counter my Time Skip now, since its limit has now increased to 0.5 seconds."

This immediately causes a reaction among the spectators, especially, Vegeta, Cell, and Krillin who exclaim.

"Impossible!"

"Damn! This is quite a tough opponent... I would feel much more confident if Goza was here with us."

"Improving and surpassing his opponent during battle, is Goku's winning pattern. What can he do against an opponent who does the same thing as him?"

A few moments later, Hit calls out, "Referee." making the referee rush over before he asks, "Killing is against the rules, right?" to which the referee replies, "Y-Yes."

Then Hit asks, "What should I do? It seems like Son Goku... is in no condition to even surrender." but instead of replying, the referee is looking away apparently distracted making Hit call him out, "Hey!"

Shortly after that, he notices that the referee is looking in the direction of Goku with clear shock on his face as he mutters, "This... This is!" which makes him also turn his head and much to his shock and that of the other people witnessing this, Goku manages to get up from Hit's attacks. 

He looks very tired and hurt, but despite that he is still standing on his feet, leaning slightly forward with his hands on his knees causing the internal rotation of the rib cage and thoracic flexion as this position allows the diaphragm to be placed in an optimal position for breathing, helping the lungs fill with a greater amount of air speeding up the recovery as much as possible.

After he recovered enough, Goku shouts, "Not yet!" which makes Hit question him, "Are you that obsessed with winning?" but Goku replies without any hesitation, "That's not it!" surprising his opponent who exclaims, "What?"

After saying that Goku declares, "It'll be unfair to you if it ends like this." 

Confused, Hit can't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

In response, Goku mysteriously says, "Don't think that I was being stingy tryin' to hide this. It is not perfect, yet. I was thinkin' of improving it over time and use it against Beerus-sama, one day."

Hearing that, Beerus can't help but look at Whis with shock on his face and ask, "Hey! What is that guy talking about?" but Whis simply shakes his head in response showing that he too doesn't know what Goku is talking about.

At the same time, Goku flares up his aura now has a strange crimson hue outside the usual vibrant, fiery, electric blue aura before he looks at his open hand and continues to explain, "An incomplete technique. There's only a 10% chance that it'll work. And if it fails, it'll completely mess my body up. But, still...!"

At this point, Goku closes his fist and lets out a roar as the crimson hue outside his electric blue aura grows more pronounced and his Ki starts to spike growing stronger and stronger.

Vegeta is the first who notice something and realizes what Goku is about to do as he exclaims in shock, "This feeling... It can't be!" followed by a curious Vados who comments, "He still has a transformation left which is even stronger than Super Saiyan Blue? Unbelievable! I wonder what it is..." 

Hearing that, Champa orders, "Hit! Attack him! Don't let him do whatever he's up to!" but Hit simply stares in shock as Goku continues to power up making Champa yell, "Stop spacing out!"

However, after a few moments of indecision, Hit allows Goku to continue to do whatever he is doing, something that makes a frustrated Champa exclaim, "Do something!" but Hit simply states, "If you get stronger, then I will improve and get stronger, as well." before he wonders, "Hey Son Goku, I wonder for how long we both can keep going like this."

Hearing that, Fuwa's assistant comments in shock, "H-He enjoys fighting like a true martial artist." followed by the Supreme Kai of Universe 6 himself, Fuwa, who adds, "Instead of being quiet, he sure screams a lot, though."

In response, Old Supreme Kai smiles and says, "That's the mysterious thing about Son Goku."

Shortly after Old Supreme Kai says that Goku's endless scream ends and at the same time, his double-colored aura is suddenly snuffed out.

Then a smirk forms on Goku's face as he stands upright and after a few moments, he calls out, "Kaio-ken!!"

Immediately after that, a massive double aura emerges from Goku's body, placing a crimson Kaio-ken aura outside of a typical electric blue Super Saiyan Blue aura. 

The outer Kaio-ken aura manifests as violently fluctuating and jagged while the Super Saiyan Blue aura maintains a gentle, flame-like contour. 

When using this transformation, the energy aura is so intense that Goku's blue hair appears several shades lighter than normal, and his skin appears to be illuminated by the Kaio-ken's aura to a dark shade of pink. 

Additionally, Goku's clothes are affected as well, his bright orange Gi becomes dark red, whereas his dark blue belt, wristbands, and shoes turn purple. 

In fact, the light generated by this technique is so intense, that the whole surrounding area is illuminated to many shades of red.

After completing his transformation, Goku smiles and says, "It worked. The power of Super Saiyan Blue, combined with Kaio-ken!" before he explains, "If I made a mistake while doin' this, I might've ended up dying. But it looks like I was able to perfectly control it. Kaio-ken... is my trump card!"

Hearing that, Hit repeats, "Kaio-ken?" to which Goku honestly explains, "Yeah! It can double anyone's power, speed, and all other fighting abilities. It's a move that I learned from Kaio-sama, a long time ago." 

Shortly after saying that, Goky shouts, "Here I come!" before he displays his power to Hit, charging around him, showing his incredible speed as the strongest assassin of Universe 6 is left speechless, "Impossible! I couldn't see him, at all!" 

Beerus is also surprised as he mutters, "He was planning to use that against me?" which makes an amused Whis ask, "Oh my... Do you think that you'll be in trouble, if he uses that against you?" but Beerus quickly regains his bearing, and shrugs this off, "Of course not!"

Then Whis enters his mentor mode and asks, "Well then, what do you think about it?" which makes Beerus wonder, "I'm just thinking why he didn't use such a handy move on me earlier!" 

At the same time, Old Supreme Kai speculates to his fellows Kais, "The Super Saiyan form itself is hard on the body as it uses a lot of stamina, so using this with it is like throwing your life away on purpose. That's why, he never used Kaio-ken for such a long time."

While this is happening, Goku continues to explain, "But now, this is possible. It's because Super Saiyan Blue is a combination of strength and a calm mind, with proper Ki control!"

As he is saying that, his power continues to increase to the point that Hit exclaims, "His power is rising at an extraordinary rate!" then Goku starts shouting making his power increase even more to the point that the ring starts to crumble under the pressure of his power.

Hit stares at Goku's figure with eyes wide open as he tries to gauge how many times his already massive power is multiplying, "Times three... Times fours... no..." but then Goku unleashes an impressive power as he yells, "Times ten!!! Kaio-ken times ten!!"

Immediately after, Goku attacks Hit with his immense power and speed pushing him back with a single punch. 

Hit is unable to keep up with Goku, even attempting to use his Time-Skip but Goku manages to surpass it and soon Goku lands another blow on Hit while saying, "It's useless. The level I'm at now is far ahead of your Time Skip." 

Shortly after that the two fight rapidly around the arena and Goku has an overwhelming advantage until Goku knocks Hit into the sky and chases after him, but then he notices something and mutters, "Even Blue won't last for much longer. I'll finish it in one blow!"

He quickly moves to the floor and takes the very iconic stance as he stands with his cupped hands that are drawn to his side and the ever-increasing Ki is concentrated into a single point between his cupped hands, "Ka... Me... Haaa... Meeee..."

Then Goku's hands are thrust forward as he yells, "HAAAAA!!!" shooting out a massive, streaming, powerful beam of blue energy at Hit, who in the meantime flared up his aura and got ready to block the attack. 

Hit Time Skips through Goku's Kamehameha and Goku charges at him forcing Hit to attempt to push back the Kamehameha but the collision causes an explosion. 

The collision between Goku's Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken x10 and Hit's improved Time-Skip causes such a huge explosion that shocks the entire tournament grounds and even completely shatters the barrier around the arena. 

The force is so massive that causes Whis and Vados to act to save the spectators with their staffs and create shields around them while at the same time recreating and reinforcing the barrier around the arena that protected the rest of the nearby universes from the aftermath of these battles.

When the smoke clears, Beerus anxiously asks as he tries to search for the figures of both Goku and Hit, "What's the result of the match?" followed by his brother and fellow God of Destruction who complain, "I can't see anything!"

The same can be said about the referee, who was also protected by Vados and Whis, as he looks around and mutters, "Uhh, the contestants are..."

Soon Goku and Hit are spotted standing on the portraits of Champa and Beerus as Goku comments impressed, "You really are somethin' else..."

At the same time, Piccolo wonders, "Are they both out-of-bounds?" but with a silent agreement, both Beerus and Champa state.

"No, that's still..."

"... part of the ring."

That is then followed by the referee who announces, "The match will now resume!"

Hit stares at Goku and comments, "You're a formidable opponent. But, that's also the reason I've improved so much. Just then... I improved my Time Skip even further, and was able to dodge your attack." before he declares, "I don't intend to stop improving, just yet!"

In response, Goku stands up and says, "I see." before he starts to feel the after-effects of the Kaio-ken and holds his shaking arm, then he starts to float toward Hit and once he is close enough, he extends his fist toward Hit as a sign of acknowledgment which makes Hit smirk.

Fuwa is utterly shocked by that, "Hit smiled!?" which makes Old Supreme Kai chuckle, and Shin brags, "That's the mysterious effect of Goku-san!"

At the same time, Hit leaves the portrait and floats toward Goku where the two fist bump before they fly back and take their distances to restart the battle as Hit takes a new fighting stance.

Seeing that, Beerus snorts and comments, "Another new pose to match his improved power?" followed by Whis who says, "That seems to be the case. He's improving at a frightening pace, too." 

At the same time, Champa notices Goku's technique beginning to wear off and yells, "Hit! His Kaio-ken will not last for much longer. There's no need to fight him head-on. Just keep your distance for a while and you'll win for sure!" which makes Vados praise him in a sarcastic tone, "Insightful as expected, Champa-sama."

Shortly after that, Cabba tries to convince Champa that a victory like that would hurt Hit's pride, but Champa declares he doesn't care as this is a match between him and Beerus, calling all of the fighters their "pawns". 

At this point, Goku and Hit glare at Champa, who falls over flustered and Vados suggests, "It's fine, isn't it? You can punish them whenever you like. For now, however, I'd like to see how this match will end."

Shortly after that, Goku and Hit prepare to fight again, powering up so much that the sheer force causes the barrier around the ring to crack. 

Hit, claiming his Time Skip has now surpassed Goku's speed, assaults him with a quick barrage of punches that causes Goku's Kaio-ken to wear off. 

However, Goku refuses to give up and uses Kaio-ken again, landing his own punches on Hit, knocking him into Champa's portrait with such force that he breaks through it and crashes into the ground outside the arena.

After a moment of absolute silence, the referee announces, "Out... Out-of-bounds! Contestant Son Goku has won! Universe 7 team is the winner!"
