Gohan, Goten, and Trunks roared in unison, pushing their power to the absolute limit!
That terrifying surge of energy poured straight into Goku, and in an instant, arcs of blinding white lightning crackled wildly across his body.
Goku gritted his teeth, straining with everything he had as the tidal wave of power flowed into him.
Such incredible strength… I have to endure it!
Seeing the agony etched across Goku's face, Gohan shouted, "Dad, this is too dangerous!"
But Goku, completely engulfed in that storm of energy and lightning, only screamed louder. "Not enough!!"
"Don't hold back—give me everything you've got!"
Omega Shenron snorted, clearly bored. "Unfortunately for you, time's up. If you want to come at me together, then by all means—bring it on."
Oob exploded with power, his aura shaking the battlefield. "Like hell I'll let you interfere. If I have to throw my life away, I'll still stop you!"
He formed a massive energy blast in his palm and hurled it straight at Omega.
Omega didn't even flinch. With one casual punch, he shattered the attack into sparks. "You really think that pathetic life of yours can stand in my way? Don't make me laugh."
Before Oob could react, Omega's fist smashed into his arm.
CRACK!
Oob howled, clutching his broken limb. Omega grabbed him by the head with one hand and lifted him like trash. "Get out of my sight."
With a swing, he flung Oob through the air, sending him crashing far across the battlefield.
"Enough of this, Son Goku."
But even with one arm hanging useless, Oob refused to quit. He dragged himself back, seizing his chance while Omega's focus was locked on Goku. With a desperate shout, he clamped both legs and his good arm around Omega's neck.
"If I can buy Goku even one more second… it's worth it!"
He ignited every last shred of his energy, engulfing Omega in a violent explosion.
Omega snarled, eyes narrowing. With a brutal elbow strike, he blasted Oob away, then followed up by swallowing him in a massive energy sphere.
When the smoke cleared, Omega dusted off his hands. "Game over. Time to finish this."
But suddenly, golden light burst across the battlefield. From within it, the phantom of a giant golden ape appeared, bellowing with fury. Goku's eyes glowed crimson as he roared to the heavens, his body drowning in the light.
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were flung clear of the aura, watching in awe.
"Dad… this is insane," Goten whispered.
"The power of Super Saiyan 4 has completely maxed out," Gohan said, stunned.
Golden energy spread like wildfire across the battlefield. Even Omega had to raise his arms to shield himself.
At last, the blinding glow was drawn back into Goku's body. The dust settled.
Standing tall, cloaked in power, was Super Saiyan 4 Goku—reborn at full capacity.
"This… this is the true full-powered Super Saiyan 4."
Omega snarled. "Don't bluff me. You don't look any different from before."
"You'll see soon enough," Goku replied confidently. "Fight me, and you'll know exactly what's changed."
"Don't make me laugh!" Omega lunged forward, fist cocked.
But Goku raised an arm and blocked it effortlessly. A mocking grin spread across his face.
"You bastard!" Omega roared, unleashing strike after strike. But every move was dodged with ease.
"It's useless," Goku said calmly. "Even if I can't see, I can sense your ki perfectly."
That single statement sent Omega into a frenzy. He attacked in a whirlwind of blows, but Goku slipped through them like smoke. With one instant transmission, Goku appeared above him, grabbed his horn, and with a roar hurled Omega like a ragdoll.
BOOM!
Omega smashed through a skyscraper, the building collapsing in on itself and burying him beneath rubble.
The ground shook as his furious roar shattered everything around him into dust. He rose again, his aura flaring violently.
In the sky above, Goku charged a blazing golden energy sphere in his palm. "You monster… I'll never forgive you!"
The blast shot forward like a comet, but Omega vanished at the last instant.
The attack struck the ground instead, detonating in a cataclysmic explosion that painted the battlefield in gold. Entire blocks of the city were reduced to ash, waves of searing energy rolling outward in all directions.
"Damn it!" Omega cursed as he dodged the lethal aftershocks, fleeing at full speed while the city drowned in smoke and fire.
High above, Goku hovered. "No matter where you run, your evil ki will give you away. You can't hide from me."
He darted off after him, closing the gap in seconds—only to find Omega standing calmly before a giant clock tower.
Omega's voice dripped with mockery. "Bad luck for you, Son Goku. Your eyesight hasn't recovered. You might be able to track me… but can you track something with no ki at all?"
He wrenched the massive clock loose and hurled it straight at Goku like a spear.
Meanwhile, in other worlds…
On King Kai's planet, the old master looked on, worried. "Goku, be careful…"
Yamcha and the others clenched their fists in frustration. "Goku went after the Dragon Balls to revive us, and now the Dragon Balls themselves turned into such terrifying enemies…"
Tien's jaw tightened, eyes burning with unwillingness.
In the Black Clover world, inside the Black Bulls' base, Asta stared at the screen in awe. "This Goku guy is amazing! He can track people just by sensing their ki. That's exactly like what Captain Yami taught me… Guess for someone like me, without magic, mastering ki really is the best path."
Yami appeared behind him, irritated. "Oi, brat. Quit yapping, you're disturbing my nap."
"Sorry, Captain Yami!" Asta stammered, then clenched his fists with determination. "Yuno, I swear—I'll become Wizard King before you do. Just watch!"
Far away, in the world of Saint Seiya, the Gold Saint Mu of Aries gazed at the sky screen. "Super Saiyan 4 Goku… terrifying power, maybe even greater than the Pope himself. I wonder if this mysterious screen and the Heavenly Rankings will affect our world too. Teacher… what would you do?"
Back on the battlefield…
The giant clock came hurtling toward Goku.
"Die!!!" Omega bellowed.
But instead of being pierced, Goku caught the clock with both hands, stopping it dead.
"Pathetic trick." He smirked. "And that noise—it's giving me a headache. Omega Shenron, go to hell… and apologize to your brother, Nuova, while you're at it!"
With a swing, Goku hurled the massive clock back. Omega leapt aside, just in time to avoid it.
"Kame… Hame… Ha!!!"
A blazing red energy wave erupted from Goku's hands, tearing across the battlefield.
Omega's eyes went wide with horror before the blast swallowed him whole.
The explosion carved a massive crater, fire surging into the sky. For a moment, the entire world was dyed blood-red.
"..."
