First Awakening of Ultra Instinct!

AF Son Goku looked at the motionless Son Goku on the ground and said, "It seems this is your limit. Train hard! We shall settle this next time!"

As he spoke, AF Son Goku raised his right hand, condensing a ki blast within his palm before firing it toward Son Goku.

This scene caused time to freeze for everyone from Universe 7, and Ye Ming's eyes widened slightly at this moment.

Vegeta let out a roar: "Kakarot!"

Vados smiled and said to Champa, "It is over, Lord Champa. We have won this battle once again!"

Upon hearing this, Champa crossed his arms and began to laugh.

BOOM!!

Everyone stared in shock at Son Goku on the arena stage; he had not been blown away by the explosion, but had instead dodged it with ease.

Champa exclaimed, "What?"

Vados also looked toward Son Goku on the stage in astonishment.

AF Son Goku stared at the Son Goku opposite him with a look of surprise; he felt that the state of his opponent was extremely strange, with his hands hanging at his sides and his ki remarkably calm.

However, in the next instant, Son Goku appeared beside AF Son Goku without any warning and slammed a fist into his abdomen, forcing AF Son Goku to retreat.

AF Son Goku let out a cry of pain; he had completely failed to track his opponent's movements just now.

A dazzling light flickered over Son Goku's body, his hair edges tinged with a hint of silver, and a scorching blue energy gradually rose from him as his gaze turned slightly fierce.

The crowd from Universe 7 watched Son Goku's transformation in astonishment, and Ye Ming said calmly, "It seems Goku has entered the initial state of Ultra Instinct Sign. This is truly an unexpected surprise!"

At this moment, even Whis could not remain composed, covering his mouth as he chuckled, "Oh my! To think that at such a critical moment, Goku would enter the state of Ultra Instinct Sign. How truly joyous and congratulatory!"

Beerus also began to laugh: "That guy Goku always manages to give us a surprise at the most crucial moment."

Even Beerus had not expected Son Goku to grasp Ultra Instinct at such a pivotal time.

Universe 6 also sensed that Son Goku's state was quite unusual, and Vados remarked, "Son Goku must have achieved a preliminary grasp of Ultra Instinct."

"What?" Champa yelled, covering his ears.

"Since when did Ultra Instinct become as common as cabbage? Even that Ye Ming knows it," Champa said, leaning over the edge of the spectator stand.

Vados stroked her chin: "Indeed, one can never underestimate a Son Goku from any parallel universe. To be able to grasp it at such a critical moment shows the true potential of Son Goku, Lord Champa."

Ye Ming thought to himself: As expected, Son Goku remains the protagonist of this timeline, always capable of bursting forth at the most critical moment. However, Ye Ming did not mind; after all, he was a transmigrator.

AF Son Goku had learned about the Angel's ultimate technique—Ultra Instinct—from Vados long ago, but when he had tried to grasp it himself, he hadn't even managed to touch the surface.

AF Son Goku knew the power of Ultra Instinct, but as he looked at the Son Goku before him, he thought: The perfect Ultra Instinct is white, surrounded by a multicolored radiance.

Looking at the state of the Son Goku before him, he likely realized that his opponent had only achieved a preliminary grasp as well.

AF Son Goku looked at the Son Goku opposite him and grinned: "Truly impressive! My counterpart in this world—to think you could grasp such a difficult ultimate technique as Ultra Instinct at such a critical moment."

Son Goku did not speak, merely watching the AF Son Goku opposite him with a steady aura.

AF Son Goku gave a faint smile: "Let me witness the power of Ultra Instinct." Although that punch had landed earlier, it had not caused much damage.

AF Son Goku suddenly flared his ki, golden flashes shining as his aura surged toward the edges of the arena. Whis and Vados hurriedly used a barrier to envelop the entire spectator stand to avoid any collateral damage from the pressure.

Seeing the sheer power of AF Son Goku, Vegeta on the stands knew that he was about to fight in earnest.

AF Son Goku immediately launched an attack on Son Goku, moving with incredible speed, appearing behind him in the blink of an eye.

Son Goku did not even turn his head; just as the attack was about to strike him, he shifted his body slightly to the side, dodging the punch.

AF Son Goku launched a continuous barrage of attacks, yet Son Goku dodged every single one without moving his feet from their original position.

Gohan slammed his fist against the railing: "Dad is truly amazing! In this initial form of Ultra Instinct, he has leveled the gap in strength with AF Son Goku."

Ye Ming said to Son Gohan at that moment: "Not necessarily. Under the strain of this scorching energy, how long can Son Goku actually hold on?"

Hearing Ye Ming's words, the crowd wore solemn expressions. They knew that Son Goku was only using this form preliminarily and was not yet proficient; as for how long he could sustain it, that would depend entirely on Goku's willpower.

AF Son Goku, who was continuing his assault, grinned: "Ultra Instinct really is troublesome!"

"However..." Purple energy gradually appeared on AF Son Goku's body; this was the sign of Ultra Ego—Hakai Energy.

At this moment, on the Universe 7 stand, Beerus and Vegeta were completely unsettled, never expecting that AF Son Goku would have mastered Hakai Energy.

"The situation is very dire," Beerus said, rubbing his nose.

Whis was also surprised: "It seems the Son Goku from the opposing universe has also mastered Ultra Ego. Lord Beerus, the pressure on our universe's Son Goku has suddenly increased significantly."

Seeing this, Vegeta broke into a cold sweat for Son Goku and said: "That Kakarot from the other side has actually mastered Ultra Ego as well. That bastard."

Both Ultra Instinct and Hakai Energy were techniques belonging to the gods, though one belonged to the Angels and the other to the Gods of Destruction.

However, the levels of power they mastered were completely different; the destructive power of Ultra Ego was immense, while Ultra Instinct was exceptionally sensitive in terms of defense and evasion.

But this also depended on the level of proficiency the user displayed; for instance, Vegeta was very well-suited for the path of a God of Destruction, and he mastered Hakai Energy much faster than others.

AF Son Goku had only recently mastered Hakai Energy, but with his strength, he could perfectly fuse it with his Super Saiyan 4 form.

Just like that, amidst a burst of ki mixed with golden light and purple energy, Universe 6 trembled under the weight of this immense power, erupting with a dazzling purple radiance.

This power had reached the level of a top-tier God of Destruction, not much different from the strength Ye Ming had displayed when he fought the God of Destruction Beerus.

This power even spread to other universes, and the gods of those realms revealed expressions of shock one after another. How could Universe 6 possess such a powerful warrior, and they could clearly sense the presence of Hakai Energy.

The Gods of Destruction from other universes were filled with curiosity, one after another ordering their attendants to bring out their staffs to observe.

In Universe 11, the God of Destruction Vermoud slammed his fist onto the table before him, gritting his teeth as he said, "So that's why Champa wouldn't cooperate with me—it turns out their universe possesses a warrior with the strength of a top-tier God of Destruction. That damn guy."

The Angel Marcarita standing beside him remarked, "Actually, the warrior in their universe is identical to a human from Universe 7 named Son Goku. This Son Goku of Universe 6 only arrived there after the parallel timeline he originated from was destroyed."

Marcarita explained the entire sequence of events to Vermoud, who then wore a grim expression: "I see!"

At this moment, Vermoud stood up and said indifferently, "Marcarita, Jiren's training and Toppo's Hakai training are left to you. Our Universe 11 cannot fall behind the other universes; we must become the most powerful of the 12 universes."

Marcarita smiled in response: "Leave it to me, Lord Vermoud."

These scenes were playing out across all the major universes, each one carefully scrutinizing the battle between Universe 6 and Universe 7.

Back at the battlefield in Universe 6!

AF Son Goku had already achieved his Perfect Super Saiyan 4 Hakai Form, and Son Goku could feel the terrifying energy radiating from him.

He heard AF Son Goku say calmly, "Then, let the second round begin."

BOOM!!!

AF Son Goku's speed had increased significantly, and his Ultra Ego was clearly far more aggressive; Son Goku was sent flying across the arena by a brutal kick.

However, AF Son Goku did not give him a moment to catch his breath, instantly launching a follow-up assault. Son Goku knew by now that he could not maintain his current form for much longer.

Even so, he gave it his all, locked in a desperate struggle with AF Son Goku.

On the arena, every collision between them erupted with astonishing power, causing the Angel's barrier to tremble violently.

But unfortunately, AF Son Goku's power had far surpassed Son Goku's, and soon, amidst a roar of frustration, Son Goku was defeated.

Ye Ming watched AF Son Goku on the arena with a solemn expression; clearly, Ye Ming had raised his assessment of AF Son Goku's strength to a new level.

Yet, he vaguely sensed that this was still not AF Son Goku's full power.

Ye Ming suddenly thought of a form beyond Super Saiyan 4—Super Saiyan 5.

Ye Ming asked the system in his mind: "System, is this Son Goku also capable of transforming into Super Saiyan 5?"

The system replied: "Host, according to scans, this Son Goku has already experienced the second Shadow Dragon invasion in his timeline, so he has certainly mastered the Super Saiyan 5 transformation."

As Ye Ming expected, this Son Goku was indeed still holding back. Ye Ming considered his own peak strength: Perfect Super Saiyan 4 combined with Mastered Ultra Instinct, plus the Deep Blue God Form and the amplification of the Kaioken.

Ye Ming had perfectly fused his God Form with his Super Saiyan 4, and his Mastered Ultra Instinct was already second nature.

Ye Ming's Kaioken could be pushed to 80 times, which was the absolute limit his physical body could withstand.

Ye Ming could no longer afford to worry about other things and quickly asked the system: "System, compare my strength with AF Son Goku."

The system said: "The opponent's strength is immense. If he transforms into Super Saiyan 5 and adds his Hakai Energy and God Form! Host, I cannot estimate the outcome of your battle."

Hearing the system's response, even the system could not give him a definitive answer, which meant the Son Goku across from him was truly capable of threatening his existence.

Ye Ming's brows furrowed tightly. Whis noticed the change in Ye Ming's expression but remained silent.

Whis thought to himself: It seems the opponent's strength is formidable; even Ye Ming feels the pressure. Ye Ming has also sensed the hidden power of AF Son Goku.

Back on the arena, Son Goku had collapsed and could not get up. Seeing the exhausted Son Goku, AF Son Goku immediately knocked him out of the arena.

With that, the referee returned to the arena and announced loudly: "Universe 6 is victorious."

Champa of Universe 6 cheered excitedly: "Goku, Goku!!"

In the stands, Caulifla and Kale were ecstatic, waving their fists like fan girls as they shouted, "The Son Goku of our universe is stronger!"

Hit sat silently on the sofa, watching the two crazed sisters, and shook his head.

But at this moment, Ye Ming stood up from the sofa, and everyone in the Universe 6 stands instantly fell silent!

Champa also looked at Ye Ming across the way with a serious expression; he knew the real battle was only just beginning.

AF Son Goku stood on the arena without a hint of fear, locking eyes with Ye Ming. A terrifying pressure instantly spread across the Nameless Planet, causing even Beerus and Champa to break out in a cold sweat.

Whis and Vados wore faint smiles; they knew this match would be the deciding factor in which universe would emerge victorious.

Son Gohan quickly carried Son Goku onto the arena and fed him a Senzu Bean.

Son Goku immediately recovered all his stamina and stood up, looking dazed.

However, as soon as he woke up, he felt a terrifying pressure; he saw Ye Ming and AF Son Goku locked in a clash of auras.

Son Goku said: "Ye Ming, I leave the rest of the battle to you."

Beerus, filled with confidence in Ye Ming, said: "Teach him a lesson, Ye Ming."

And so, the final showdown between Universe 6 and Universe 7 was about to begin!
