"You…" Zornet's expression instantly darkened, his face sinking into a stormy gloom. From within his body, a terrifying aura began to surge faintly, so oppressive that even the clouds above churned and rippled violently.
Sensing this hidden yet overwhelming fluctuation, Goku's eyes lit up. Compared to this man, the earlier Tarbu was nothing at all…
"Kreeza, go keep this little one entertained. Let him witness the true terror of our kind," Zornet said casually, casting a sidelong glance at his companion.
Kreeza gave a slight nod. From start to finish, he hadn't uttered a word about Zornet killing their comrade. To him, such things were only natural. Once someone lost their usefulness, they deserved to be discarded.
"Don't waste my time. You two pieces of trash may as well attack me together!" Goku said indifferently.
Kreeza's figure blurred, and in the blink of an eye he stood opposite Goku. His expression was cold and arrogant, his shout shaking the land as a violent aura erupted like a raging storm. The ground beneath his feet collapsed instantly, splitting into a massive crater under the weight of his terrifying presence.
This aura… compared to Tarbu's before, it was like night and day!
"Seems you're not a bad opponent after all. No wonder you're so arrogant. But boast too loudly, and in the end you'll only embarrass yourself." As Goku spoke, his own aura suddenly erupted, golden flames bursting forth from his body, even making the surrounding space tremble violently.
"What?!" Kreeza's eyes widened in shock. This child's aura was actually on par with his own.
'How could that be? Was he really just a little boy?'
"Oh… truly surprising. For a mere child to wield such power…" Even Zornet's calm expression wavered ever so slightly, his face betraying a flicker of astonishment.
"Tch… this body is limiting me. My power has dropped so much… This isn't even half of my true strength." Goku frowned in dissatisfaction. Yet he felt no worry. He knew that once he transformed into Super Saiyan 4, he could break through this restriction and return to his peak.
Kreeza glared coldly at Goku. "So young, yet already this strong… I admit, you're a genius. But no matter how powerful, today you fall here!"
With those words, Kreeza's figure shot forward like a blazing star carrying the weight of destruction. His strike was fierce and merciless, crashing down to annihilate Goku.
The violent onslaught caused Goku's expression to tighten slightly. His battle aura erupted like raging flames, surging out from his body as he clenched his fist and threw a straightforward, unadorned punch.
In that instant, the battlefield exploded.
Crack!
At their very first clash, the terrifying shockwave from their fists erupted outward. The ground beneath them shattered like glass, collapsing instantly, with destruction spreading outward in waves, ripping across the land.
Within moments, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows. The violent impact of their strikes roared like a flood bursting from the mountains, shaking the earth with thunderous force.
High above the ground, two figures clashed with blinding speed. Each collision made the sky tremble and the earth quiver. Their auras flared brilliantly, filling the Sky with dazzling light. Each impact resounded like thunder, carrying unstoppable force that shook the very world!
"So strong!" The longer Kreeza fought, the more shocked he became. His opponent was clearly just a child, yet he possessed such terrifying power.
Boom!
Their fists collided again, unleashing a storm of energy fierce enough to rend the skies. The impact was so overwhelming that towering mountains thousands of feet high crumbled in an instant.
Watching the two battle in the skies, Zornet's once calm expression grew increasingly solemn. The strength Goku displayed had exceeded even his expectations.
Golden light flashed, explosions roared without end…
With a single punch, Goku forced Kreeza back, his expression still calm and unshaken. "If this is all the strength you have, then it ends here."
His body flickered like lightning, and in the next instant, he appeared behind Kreeza. With a swift kick to the waist, he sent Kreeza flying, his body smashing into the ground with explosive force. Dust and rubble burst into the sky as the earth split apart, leaving a massive crater. Cracks spread out like a spider's web in all directions.
"Damn it!" Kreeza staggered up from the pit, his body covered in wounds, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He was badly hurt.
"How could I lose to a mere child?! Don't you dare get arrogant with me!"
With a furious roar, Kreeza thrust out both hands. Energy gathered rapidly between his palms, compressing into a beam of pure destruction that shot toward Goku in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph! Futile struggles. The gap between us is something you could never comprehend."
Goku's expression remained disdainful. His aura suddenly withdrew, condensing tightly within his body.
He threw a punch—simple, plain, yet carrying a world-destroying force. The terrifying intent spread outward, shaking space itself. The energy beam shattered instantly under that overwhelming might, utterly helpless before it.
The destructive wave surged outward. In Zornet's eyes, shock flickered for the first time. In Kreeza's eyes, terror erupted. The devastating force enveloped Kreeza in an instant.
Boom!
Without warning, Kreeza's body exploded, bursting into a rain of blood that fell across the battlefield like crimson mist.
It looked almost effortless. Once again, Goku displayed the profound martial insight he had gained from endless reincarnations in the Btth World. Its power remained terrifying and absolute—an opponent with equal strength to him had been obliterated in a single strike!
"What… what was that just now?!" For once, even Zornet's calm eyes were filled with shock. That strange yet brilliant punch had made him feel a flicker of fear—an instinctive sense of danger.
"Now then… it's your turn." Goku turned his gaze on Zornet, his face calm as ever. He could sense it clearly: this one was stronger than the others before.
"Oh? Is that so? I must admit… your power has surprised me. Even Kreeza was slain by your hand… truly beyond what I had expected. But do you really believe that killing those two trash was enough to stand against me? It's time I show you the difference between them and myself."
The faint surprise in Zornet's eyes faded, replaced once again by a look of cold indifference. His aura erupted like a raging tidal wave, shaking the entire planet. The ground trembled violently, clouds churned, and from the sky, countless bolts of lightning cascaded down like an endless storm.
"What in the world is this monster? How can anyone radiate such terrifying power?!"
Far away, in the Dragon Palace of the world Goku had created, Cao Ying and the others sat before the massive screen. As they watched the overwhelming scene unfold, their faces filled with shock.
Those who had never witnessed Goku's battle against Beerus were utterly horrified. Never in their lives had they imagined such power could exist.
Saints? Dou God? Before such a being, they weren't even dust.
"This world is truly unbelievable… To think such terrifying beings can appear so casually." Cai Lin's face was deeply shaken. Hearing about such power was one thing—but seeing it with her own eyes was another entirely.
"C-Can Goku really win?" Zi Yan's face was pale, her voice trembling with worry. This opponent was beyond anything she had imagined—stronger even than the so-called Sovereign.
"Don't be ridiculous. You're underestimating Goku." Bulma waved her hand dismissively, a carefree smile on her face.
"Goku only needs to get serious, and they'll be wiped out in an instant. Just sit back and enjoy the show."
"W-Wait, even an opponent this strong could be defeated? Is that really possible? Is Goku really that powerful?" Cao Ying's eyes widened in disbelief. To her, such power was world-shattering.
"Do you regret it now, after feeling my aura?"
Zornet's body was engulfed in flames of energy, like divine fire blazing into the Sky. His expression was arrogant and detached, as though he were a god looking down on all creation.
The butterfly-like child nearby was already pale with terror, shivering as she hid behind a boulder.
"Heh… finally, a decent opponent. Then let me entertain you properly!"
As Goku's calm words fell, his golden aura erupted, blasting outward in a storm. His black hair turned golden in an instant, standing upright as his energy swept the battlefield. Within a hundred meters, a vacuum formed around him. Stones and rubble tore free from the ground, floating weightlessly in the air.
"Oh? Interesting… You can still raise your power even higher? No wonder you were so arrogant."
Seeing Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, Zornet's expression shifted briefly, though he quickly smiled again. Still, the trace of seriousness in his eyes did not escape Goku's notice.
"Enough talk—let's fight!" Goku roared, his figure flashing forward like a streak of golden light, rushing straight at Zornet.
"Hmph! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Zornet's expression turned cold, his aura shifting instantly to a bone-chilling intensity. A violent pressure burst out as he threw his fist forward.
The atmosphere itself changed. From his hand surged a massive energy wave, like a colossal dragon roaring across the skies, tearing forward with devastating might.
"Heh~~"
Watching the dragon-like wave hurtling toward him, Goku's lips curled into a faint, knowing smile. His hands pulled together in front of him, and in an instant, a vortex-like black hole formed, swallowing the dragon whole.
"Thanks for the meal." With a thought, Goku closed the vortex, smiling faintly at Zornet's wide-eyed expression. To Zornet, that smile was nothing short of infuriating.
"He can absorb energy attacks?!" For the first time, Zornet frowned, before quickly letting out a cold, dismissive snort.
With that, his body flickered, tearing through the air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Goku, his right fist crashing forward with a deafening boom. The strike was like a raging storm, his battle aura surging like an endless sea.
Boom!
In that instant, Goku countered with his own punch. His fist carried a destructive intent, clashing head-on with Zornet's attack.
