Ever since his fight with Beerus, Ye Ming hadn't truly fought anyone.
This was Ye Ming's second time stepping into battle, and AF Son Goku was strong enough to make him take the fight seriously!
Ye Ming said calmly, "There's no need to wait. Let's get started, Son Goku."
As he spoke, Ye Ming appeared in front of AF Son Goku. The two of them stood barely ten meters apart.
Ye Ming tossed a Senzu Bean to AF Son Goku so he could recover his strength as quickly as possible. AF Son Goku knew what it was, so he popped it straight into his mouth and swallowed it!
The referee stared at them in a daze before saying, "Since Son Goku of Universe 6 is ready, the match will continue. I hereby declare the seventh match underway!"
However, neither AF Son Goku nor Ye Ming made the first move. They simply stared each other down.
Their auras continued to rise. At the sight, everyone stood up to show their respect for the powerful fighters.
Suddenly, a golden glint flashed in AF Son Goku's eyes, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan. Right after him, Ye Ming transformed into a Super Saiyan as well.
Two immense forces clashed continuously. AF Son Goku and Ye Ming walked toward each other, their forms changing as they went.
AF Son Goku shifted from Super Saiyan 1 to the perfect form of Super Saiyan 4. Seeing this, Ye Ming slowly transformed into Perfect Super Saiyan 4.
They stood face to face. AF Son Goku's golden pupils, blue fur, black hair, and powerful muscles displayed his unadulterated strength.
Ye Ming, meanwhile, had pink hair, red fur, and slightly reddish eyes. His aura clearly had a slight edge over AF Son Goku's.
Realizing he was at a slight disadvantage in terms of aura, AF Son Goku grinned. "You're incredible, Ye Ming. I can feel your terrifying power."
Ye Ming smiled too. "You're no slouch either, Son Goku! But it seems you still don't intend to show me your true strength."
"In your timeline, you should have mastered what's called Super Saiyan 5."
Hearing this, AF Son Goku was taken aback, but he quickly accepted it. He knew Ye Ming was mysterious and had come from beyond the universe.
"If you want to see it, I'll grant your wish," AF Son Goku said with a faint smile.
"Hahaha! Bring it on. There's nothing I, Ye Ming, can't handle!" Ye Ming declared proudly.
The people in the stands had heard their exchange. Beerus said in shock, "Can this Son Goku transform into something beyond Super Saiyan 4?"
Son Goku looked excited. "Wakaka! I'd love to see Super Saiyan 5 too!"
Vegeta's face remained expressionless, but inside, his thoughts churned. Transformations born from the evolution of Saiyan bloodlines clearly aren't common in our universe, but that doesn't mean Super Saiyan 5 is unattainable.
Champa narrowed his eyes. "Looks like Ye Ming of Universe 7 knows a few things about our universe's Son Goku, Vados."
Vados, however, wasn't all that surprised. She said calmly, "Ye Ming comes from beyond the universe. He's even more mysterious than Son Goku. We know nothing about his past or future, so this isn't all that surprising!"
On the arena, AF Son Goku stood with his hands on his hips as energy surged around him and golden light flashed. His aura kept rising, and the energy within him increased exponentially!
Under this pressure, Universe 6 shook violently. Countless planets were destroyed, and Whis and Vados reinforced the barrier once more.
But even they couldn't fully withstand the terrifying aura released by AF Son Goku's Super Saiyan 5 transformation. Feeling this power, Beerus and Champa broke out in a cold sweat.
"Has Son Goku of Universe 6 really reached this level? Is he truly a Son Goku from beyond the universe?" Beerus asked, his catlike eyes wide.
Vegeta and Son Goku struggled to withstand the aura too. They hadn't realized the gap in strength was this vast.
For the first time, they understood that someone other than Ye Ming could reach such a level—and that someone was Son Goku himself.
After a furious roar, AF Son Goku completed his Super Saiyan 5 transformation. Light shimmered around him, his white hair waved in the wind, and his muscles looked even more perfect than they had in Super Saiyan 4.
Ye Ming was seeing Super Saiyan 5 from the live-action version for the first time, and it came as quite a shock.
He saw AF Son Goku's white hair, silvery-white fur, and slightly red eyes. After transforming into Super Saiyan 5, AF Son Goku looked even more ferocious.
The force of his aura made it difficult for Ye Ming to hold his ground. But AF Son Goku said calmly, "I'm not done yet. My Super Saiyan 5 form can now fuse with both my Ultra Ego Form and my God Form."
The people in the stands were stunned by AF Son Goku's words. They had vastly underestimated his strength.
Vegeta could hardly believe it. The gap between them couldn't even be described as a chasm. They weren't on the same level at all.
Then AF Son Goku suddenly roared. Blue and purple light flickered across his body.
AF Son Goku was fusing Hakai Energy and his God Form into Super Saiyan 5. Before this, he'd been in the Destruction Space, where he had already completed the evolution of this form.
So AF Son Goku transformed without any hindrance. Everything fell into place naturally.
An incredibly powerful energy shot into the sky. It even burst beyond Universe 6, reaching the space between the universes!
At the Supreme Temple, the Grand Priest had been watching the battle between Universe 6 and Universe 7. At that moment, he saw AF Son Goku complete his transformation in a crystal ball.
He had been watching ever since Universe 6 and Universe 7 began their battle, though he hadn't said anything to stop it.
Still smiling, he said, "Oh my. Has Goku from another timeline really reached this level of power? This battle should be quite something to watch!"
"Ye Ming, what will you do next? I'm very curious."
Back at the arena, the people in the stands stared at AF Son Goku's invincible figure, utterly overwhelmed by his power.
Beerus was trembling slightly too. This power far surpassed that of a God of Destruction. It would probably take someone with an Angel's level of strength to defeat him.
After feeling this power, Champa had already slumped into his chair. Vados smiled at him. "Lord Champa, please mind your appearance. You are a God of Destruction, after all!"
Hearing Vados, Champa hurriedly sat up straight. But the trembling of his legs and the beads of sweat on his face betrayed his fear.
Everyone else was too shocked to speak. They were completely awed by AF Son Goku's strength.
But then a burst of applause rang out from the arena, making everyone look up in surprise.
"That's incredible, Son Goku! I can't believe you've become this powerful in such a short time," Ye Ming said with a smile.
Now brimming with confidence in his strength, AF Son Goku tilted his head and smiled at Ye Ming. "Your turn, Ye Ming. Show me what you can do. Don't disappoint me!"
In the stands for Universe 7, Son Goku and the others silently cheered Ye Ming on. They hoped he'd reveal enough power to put AF Son Goku in his place.
"Haha, I definitely won't disappoint you, Son Goku," Ye Ming replied.
The next moment, Ye Ming released his Super Saiyan 4 form. He closed his eyes and focused on his energy.
Suddenly, three phantoms appeared beside Ye Ming: Mastered Ultra Instinct, Perfect Super Saiyan 4, and Perfect Super Saiyan Blue Evolved.
The people in the stands saw Ye Ming's unusual transformation and stared wide-eyed.
Ye Ming flew into the air. Three different-colored beams of light shot skyward and enveloped him, while a sacred radiance completely covered the Nameless Planet.
Vados and Whis stood up as well. They could sense that this tremendous power contained traces of the laws.
AF Son Goku folded his arms and waited quietly for Ye Ming to finish transforming. But he could already feel the unfathomable power, and his brow furrowed.
And so Ye Ming completed his transformation. His figure descended slowly from high above the arena, as if he were a god.
Vados, Whis, and the Grand Priest, who was watching from the Supreme Temple, carefully studied Ye Ming's new form.
Vados exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Ming of Universe 7 is extraordinary. It's been a very long time since I've encountered a human like him."
The people of Universe 6 had heard Vados and strained to listen.
Whis then said, "Ye Ming may well win this match, even though the Son Goku he's facing is incredibly powerful."
Beerus could sense that Ye Ming had changed in many ways. Compared with the Ye Ming he'd fought before, this was an entirely different class of fighter.
Beerus was certain that Ye Ming had touched that realm!
Champa of Universe 6 looked deeply troubled. He'd never imagined Ye Ming had mastered some of the power of the laws. Only those who had reached an Angel's level of strength could begin to wield such power.
Only Ye Ming knew that when he had fused with the Destruction Space, he'd nearly exploded on the spot because his power had become too great.
But the disaster had brought him a blessing in disguise: he'd gained an initial understanding of the "Law of Time and Space." He hadn't told anyone else.
Perhaps only beings as powerful as Whis and Vados could sense it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell which law he had comprehended.
AF Son Goku had noticed something unusual about Ye Ming too, but there was no time to test him now. At this point, both sides were locked in their decisive battle, and every attack would be delivered with all their strength.
Let's wait and see who will emerge as the ultimate victor!
