Chapter 18: A God’s Rise III
Red lightning struck the ground at the same time Jin's fist slammed inside the gut of Slug and was met with the fist of Slug, Jin's head was forced to turn, however Jin followed the momentum and used the strength of Slug against him and slammed his heel into the temple of Slug.
Slug didn't take it lying down and slammed his fist directly into the body of Jin and decided enough was enough and followed through with it with a kick sending Jin down to the ground.
Slamming on the ground Jin quickly rolled out of the way of Slug's stomp, getting up to his feet, Jin slammed his fist into the chest of Slug.
A reverse 1-2 hit true, before Jin slammed his elbow into the jaw of Slug who in response slammed the back of his fist into the jaw of Jin who followed the momentum and landed a spinning heel kick.
Grunting Slug grabbed the foot on it's decent and slammed Jin on the ground again, coughing out spit, Jin shot a Ki blast at Slug who let him go with a yell of pain.
Getting back up Jin slammed his fist into the cheek of Slug with a straight, however Jin went for another straight and his fist slammed into the cheek of Slug once again. Slug reeling from the punches prepared to block the third one; however once Jin's fist was blocked Slug's nose was slammed by Jin's left fist in a jab.
This disoriented Slug as his eyes closed and then opened just in time to see Jin slam his foot directly in the face of Slug and thew him into a plateau.
Slug didn't stop either, as his body was being buried he decided to push his Ki into his body and fly out and up of the plateau, holding his hands above his head he immediately shot a Ki beam towards Jin who watched him with a frown and a glare; Jin immediately flew towards the beam and forced his way closer and closer towards Slug.
"Die! You pathetic piece of-!" Slug was stopped by the foot that slammed into his nose just before Jin slammed both of his fists onto the top of Slug's head forcing him back down to Namek's loving ground.
However just before Slug slammed down his spine was met with the elbow of Jin, and with a yell Jin spun his body and slammed his heel into the side of Slug, which sent him away. Jin faced the flying Slug with a frown and slammed his wrists together.
"Kaaa… meee… haaa… meee… haaa!!!" Jin screamed out as the blue beam slammed into the body of Slug. Slug screamed out as the heat fully encompassed his body, his armored clothing was singed but nothing too bad, but was bad was the fact that he felt his skin slowly burn itself off of him.
Slug raised his voice as a Ki circle expanded around him as he extended his limbs out, this got Jin's beam to destabilize as the Kamehameha fizzled out to show a now angry Slug.
"Haaa… haaa… you know kid… I'm getting slightly pissed… so do yourself a favor and kill yourself, saves me effort and time" Slug panted.
"Oh boy, an empty threat, seriously you need to workshop your threats" Jin blinked as he crossed his arms.
"Ha! Make jokes all you want kid, but I'm not even going half of my power, while your going all out" Slug smiled as he stared at Jin.
"Uh huh… are you lying again?" Jin raised an eyebrow.
"Uh… what?"
"Are you lying? Because you're the only one bleeding here, besides, if you were going half like you said, I wouldn't be able to put up this much of a fight in my current state" Jin sighed shaking his head.
"So unless I've been misreading you… you're about 75%" Jin smirked up to Slug.
"Ha! You'd be right, if I didn't have something up my sleeve!" Slug reached into his back pockets with both of his hands pulling out two familiar fruits.
"These are!-" Slug was cut off.
"The same fruit that one guy had!" Jin smirked knowing he was annoying Slug who frowned.
"Tch, so you know what they are, but here's the thing, these… these aren't normal! You see, the Angel Mother added power to these! Hehehehahahaha!" Slug manically laughed.
"So I just need to kill you before you eat them and eat them myself" Jim's eyes narrowed.
"…u-uh…" Slug sweated a little.
"Oh? What's wrong? Weren't expecting it?" Jin smirked "are you expecting me to stupidly stand there and let you eat one? Let alone two"
"W-wait? D-don't Saiyans crave a challenge?!" Slug spoke as he inched one of the Fruits closer to his mouth.
"True… true…" Jin nodded "but, challenging fright or my wishes?" Jin chuckled.
"It's a simple answer, your death will not only give me these wishes but also both of your fruits" after saying this Slug immediately slammed one of the fruits into his mouth, Jin seeing this immediately went to fly towards Slug.
However Slug finished the fruit before Jin could stop him, a white light flashed which blinded Jin as he screamed as he couldn't see, the spots in his eyes slowly disappeared as he shook his head. Looking up to Slug, Jin was shaken to his core.
Slug's eyes were still red, and his skin was still black, however what changed was the white aura floating around Slug and the absolute sense of power that emanated from him.
'I see' Jin thought this as his eyes darted to the other fruit 'who ever this Mother of Angel's is made something akin to Ultra Instinct fruits… however'
Jin looked back up to Slug who's mouth was drooling and he held his head as he dropped the other fruit "hah, without your body being strong enough you're mine instead of your body is being controlled by Ultra Instinct"
Ultra Instinct was a problem in his past, especially when an Angel learned it, but due to him needing to face it, he also learned the secrets of it. Like how it's not invincible and if your fast enough Ultra Instinct can no longer protect the user.
"Or like right now… if the body isn't strong enough Ultra Instinct will take over both body AND mind… the reason for this is to think as Ultra Instinct as a senteient AI, able to make decisions based on the opponent your facing, the AI being your instincts. If your body is too weak it'll take over your mind, making you completely brain dead, the reason why is because it's like your completely overtaken by your instincts" Jin started to speak outloud now smiling at the somewhat limp Slug who's nose and mouth were drooling.
"Naturally Ultra Instinct would multiply your power by millions, even Sign and Omen has a power multiplier of over a million" Jin smiled now shaking his head.
"But for you? Heh… not even a multiplier of a thousand with how weak and feeble this is" Jin's eyebrows narrowed.
"Does this mean she wanted you to fail? After all, if you're as powerful as you are and she gave you this to use… heh, she sent you on a suicide mission didn't she?" Jin nearly laughed.
"But I can't leave you here, after all, this is your new permanent state, and I can't have anyone using you" Jin clenched his fists as he prepared himself, whoever this Angel mother is, it's made this new life of him extremely hard now, especially if she can do this…
—— Conton City ——
"This.., this is bad" Whis spoke with a deep frown.
"What? H-how bad?" Goku sweated a little, never in his life he's seen Whis this worried and concerned.
"It's as bad as Zeno coming down to destroy you level bad!" Beerus spoke with widened eyes as Chronoa picked up the scroll with a shaking hand.
"G… guy's…" Chronoa started her voice shaky "I… I need you to train immensely hard"
"Supreme Kai of Time… even if they train I doubt they'd be strong enough" Whis spok as he took out a hankerchief and wiped the sweaty forehead of his.
"I know damn it!" Chronoa's outbrust took some of th people back "but what can we do? I… I need you all to be strong"
"…Goku, Vegeta, come along, it's time to break - I mean train you" Whis spoke as he turned around.
"How bad is it?" Trunks asked.
"The mother of all Angels… she's… as evil as it gets, and the only way I think she's back is via tournament of power, someone made a wish on the super dragon balls…" Chronoa muttered.
"Boy, listen up" Elder Kai strode forwards to Trunks "do you remember Zamasu when you first fought him with Goku black?"
Trunks nodded "this actually has no comparison so I'll be honest, the Mother of Angel's is like Zamasu and Goku Black but crank that dial up to a million."
"C-couldn't we have Goku and Vegeta fuse?" Trunks tried.
"That won't work either!" Elder Kai snapped "she can just undo fusions! She has complete and utter control over Ultra Instinct, she… she is powerful, in all aspects we cannot beat her in any way shape or form"
Trunks stopped as Chronoa felt like crying, this is extremely bad, even if she transformed she wouldn't be able to compete with that maniac of a woman.
She sighed as she put the scroll in her pocket "Trunks… it's best if you go and train along with Goku and Vegeta" she sounded like she was on autopilot.
"Uh… y-yes" Trunks didn't show his concern she just sounded… so broken, as if all of her hope was gone.
Wait… how did Jin know about Demigra?
HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT ULTRA INSTINCT?!?!
Chronoa immediately pulled out the scroll and opened again, she has answers which will be answered!!
—— Namek ——
Jin went down and grabbed the fruit that landed on the ground, it's color was red but it flashed with symbols of white along with small Iota's of ultra instinct in it.
'It's… losing the power of Ultra Instinct' Jin's eyebrows went up in mild surprise as he looked up to Slug 'so it's temporary, guess it's time to really test myself'
Jin stashed the fruit in his pocket as he floated up and observed Slug, Jin breathed out as he immediately went to his limit in his god form and breathed out again as he pulled his Clock up, Enchanced State, and Limit Breaker to 1,000%, white lightning crackled aroudn Jin's form then with another inhale he prepared himself.
"KAIOKEN TIMES 20!" Jin immediately shot forwards and attempted to slam his fist directly into the gut of Slug, however he only managed to graze the side of Slug as his body attempted to dodge.
Pulling back, Jin barely dodged a kick that threatened his jaw, blinking Jin took the inside angle of a downwards elbow and slammed his own elbow into the throat this made spittle fly out; but Jin wasn't done as he slammed his heel to the temple of Slug sending him to the ground below.
When Slug slammed on the ground Jin immediately followed him with a drop kick only for his legs to be grabbed and for him to be slammed onto the ground, wincing Jin extended his hands and shot multiple Ki balls at him only for them to be shockingly dodged; Jin merely blinking at this suddenly had his body slammed into the ground four times before being tossed up into the air and tossed away with a devestaing punch to the gut.
This sheer power sent Jin through two Namekian mountains before he finally settled onto a shore, the island cracked as dust and rocks flew and were thrown to the ground as the mountains collapses.
Jin stood up and winced in pain as he noticed his right arm being dislocated, he underestimated how powerful Ultra Instinct was for Slug, he expected it to be at least on the same level as Slug but he clearly got a reality check on that.
Popping his arm back in with a grunt Jin wiped a little blood off of his lip as he breathed out slowly, getting angry here won't help; thinking, he rolled his neck as he shot up into the sky and immediately began to share up a Ki beam in both of his hands as he glared down at Slug.
Slug's Ultra Instinct must've felt this and immediately vanished behind Jin and slammed it's heel over the top of Jin's head. Jin feel this vision immediately darken, how's ears ringing he turned around just in time to be met with a fist to the face as his hair was grabbed.
'His grappler type fighting style is getting amplified by the Ultra Instinct, it's-' Jin's thought was stopped by his spine being slammed over the knee of Slug casuing Jin to scream out, which his scream was caught in his throat because a fist slammed into the chest of Jin breaking a rib.
Jin's eyes went white momentarily as he was grabbed again via his clothing in his chest and while swinging around Slug laughed just before he sent Jin down into Namek's unforgiven ground, slamming into the ground Jin immediately became winded as blood involuntarily came out of his mouth as he bounced off the ground twice before his head met the harsh rock of a Namek cliff face.
Jin wheezed as his sole eye gave him blurry vision as darkened spots appeared in Jin's vision, he tasted iron as he frowned as he got up inch by inch; Jin's leg's felt wobbly, and his head spun, Jin exhaled slowly as he fell to one knee unable to take his nauseating state.
Coughing out blood as sweat dripped down onto the ground along with it, he took a mere moment to take in his state, sweat covered his form, even his forearms and shins weren't safe. Blood came freely down his nose and gashes all over his body out of torn pieces of clothing that were taken off; dirt covered Jin's body, as blood started to seem down his forehead and made two red rivers separated by the mountain that is his nose.

"The hell do you mean an evil Namekian is attacking?!" Bulma yelled at Nail as she got the explanation from the warrior, she had just finished following the dragon radar to them.
Just as she got those words out of her mouth the island shook as a Plateau in the background fell violently.
"Uh… so… are we?-" Bulma was interrupted by Dende.
"Rise, Porunga!" Lightning flashed as a massive dragon came out of the dragon balls.
"Oh my god! It looks like he ate Shenron and wore him as a scarf!" Bulma looked up with an open mouth.
"As it is written… what the hell am I feeling- n-nevermind, state your three wishes!" Porunga spoke in the language of Namekian's.
"Uh… what did he say?" Bulma looked at Nail.
"He said that we got three wishes"
"Excuse me?!?!" Bulma screeched. "Three wishes?! That's so… monkey's paw?"
Bulma got a nod from both Nail and Guru in response which caused Bulma to grumble.
"Porunga hear me, I wish to revive two beings known as Kami and Piccolo on earth!" Dende yelled out.
"It is done! You've one last wish remaining!" Porunga spoke as his eyes gleaming with power as he seeming stared into the soul of Dende down below
——————
Jin breathed out as he entered his powered up state and got back in Kaioken as he shot back up to Slug, however he pushed on past him and then turned towards Slug with an exhale.
Extending both of his hands to his sides he shot out two blue Ki balls that Slug easily dodged as Jin flew towards him, however what Slug wasn't expecting was the two balls to come back, they were homing onto him!
Jin knew that Ultra Instinct wanted to dodge, however he positioned each of his three attacks in a manner that Slug couldn't dodge. For Slug it happened in slow motion, first with his left being slammed in the legs with a burning sensation as smoke and blue lightning flashed in front of him just before Jin's fists buried itself into the gut of Slug which pushed him back into the third and last attack that landed true into Slug's back which sent him into the ground.
Jin met Slug on the ground only for his elbow to be dodged as Slug's body managed to dodge out of the way by flipping over Jin's elbow and slammed it's fist into the spine of Jin, sending the Saiyan child to the ground.
Rolling on the ground he managed to dodge two stomps from Slug before he gout up and immediately going back on the offense. Jin landed a jab on Slug's rib cage and pulled away from a knee before Jin grabbed the leg of Slug and judo threw Slug behind him.
"Here… we go!" Jin slammed his wrists over each other, his fists directed slightly down, and pooling his Ki he made a line that settled between the gaps in his hands; grunting red Iotas of power floated around Jin as white lightning crackled in his hands.
Jin didn't use his attacks he made during the war for one reason.
It'll end the fight too early.
He was fighting hundreds of demons and their allies each fight, so he needed a lot of AOE type attacks that can kill a lot of enemies quickly, of course, he had a few techniques that he used for the bigger and stronger enemies.
But those moment to use them were far and few in between, but since he's so much weaker now, that means Jin can use some of them to his hearts content!
"MAIDEN'S COFFIN!" Jin smiled as a blue Ki cage surrounded Slug. Slug now unable to move looked around, no doubt the effect of Ultra Instinct was wearing off, even if it was momentarily it did provide a mere moment of power for the Namekian…
"This is the end for you, Slut!" Jin yelled out as he vanished below the cage that held Slug.
"It's… it's Slug!" Slug yelled out, noting Jin's accidental insult.
"HAAAAAA!" Jin unleashed a grey beam that consumed both Slug and the cage blew up in a massive bright light that consumed the sight of Jin. The cage wasn't meant to only hold the beings inside, no, it was meant to absorb the energy of the beam and redirect it in multiple directions and towards the beings inside.
Basically, it's an attack that'll always hit!
Sighing he was met with the fist of Slug directly to the face, however it was noticeably weaker than before, only merely forcing Jin's head to the side, looking back he saw Slugs' new pitiful state, the divine aura of Ultra Instinct was gone now and the black form Slug had was gone now going back to his chome form.
Grunting Jin slammed his fist into the gut of Slug who wheezed as he fell to the ground below, Jin was absolutely done with Slug and met him on the ground with his wrists meeting together.
"KAAAA… MEEEE… HAAA… MEEE… HAAA!!!!!" Jin screamed out as the blue beam slammed into Slug mere seconds before he hit the ground. The blue beam started to take away the clothing on Slug's body, then the skin started to evaporate into nothingness. Slug's body began to break apart, his leg's broke apart first, with sections completely breaking as his body began to evaporate within the beam.
Slug screamed in pain as he was effectively dying, he's failed his end of the deal, sure the fruit gave him immense power, but at the end of the day he still failed. So in the last moments he cursed Jin for beating him and The Mother of Angels for not giving him the power to beat Jin.
Jin sighed as he dropped out of his Powered State and Kaioken and dropped to a knee, he didn't lose that badly to the Namekian but he was hurt way too much for his comfort. Shin his head he decided that he no doubt needed to train to get stronger, especially since he gotten the Super Saiyan God transformation.
Even if it was permanent it doesn't allow laziness, he wiped a bit of sweat off his cheek as he breathed out his mind wondered to the past.
The Mother of all Angels…
There was talks about such a being however he was simply too weak to be involved with such talks, Yamoshi was strong enough to, but him? He was mortal, no god, as such they considered him nothing more than just a weak mortal.
Even if he could contest with Yamoshi in his base form, even if he needed SSJ3 for it he wasn't weak… he fought demons on the frontline for Zeno sake! He, a mere mortal fought Demigra, even if it was less than a minute it's still something to talk about!
"Damn it" Jin cussed as he fell to his knees, his mind was his greatest enemy as it was in the past, always leveraging his mistakes and shortcomings towards him; grunting Jin stared at the ground, no more, he was going to break this woman, he was going to kill her!
Getting up, Jin weakly walked towards the massive dragon in the distance. At least he'd get a great Zenkai boost from this…
