His eyes remained closed, his expression as calm as a still lake, and even the rhythm of his breathing remained unchanged.
But his body was like a fallen leaf swaying in a storm, or like an invisible stream of water.
Turn to the side, lower your head, lift your leg, and rotate.
Every movement was streamlined to the extreme, with not even a millimeter of unnecessary displacement.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Deadly laser beams grazed his skin and hair, some even passing through the gaps in his clothes, yet they did not harm him in the slightest.
If someone were here at that moment, and had sufficiently keen eyesight, they would be astonished to discover—
Son Satoshi was enveloped in an extremely faint, almost imperceptible, pale white halo.
That's not the dissipation of qi.
Rather, it is a manifestation of a state of being...
Ultra Instinct - Sign.
In the original work, this is Divine Technique belonging to the Angel level that even the God of Destruction would find difficult to master.
Generally speaking, for an ordinary person to learn this move, they must be instructed by a master of Angel caliber like Whis.
After countless years of tedious practice, one still needs a stroke of luck and outstanding talent to even begin to grasp the basics.
But Son Satoshi doesn't have Whis.
He hadn't even officially met Beerus yet.
The reason he was able to figure out this profound God's Realm on his own at this stage was entirely due to his cheat-like " Twelve Talismans " cheat.
It all started six years ago, when he first transformed into Super Saiyan 4 in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the Future Timeline.
That day, facing the Golden Great Ape's berserk bloodline power, which was enough to devour reason.
The Tiger Talisman within Son Satoshi's body played a crucial role.
Instead of brutally suppressing that power, it diverted and streamlined it, allowing Son Satoshi's "mind" and "power" to achieve a perfect balance.
But even more crucial is the [ Sheep Talisman ].
In that moment of loss of control, the Divine Power of the Sheep Talisman briefly put Son Satoshi's soul into a state of "out-of-body" state.
That feeling was wonderful.
He was like an observer, calmly watching his own body from a third-person, God-like perspective.
He watched as his body, driven by the instincts of the Great Ape, automatically reacted to external stimuli, automatically roaring, attacking, and defending.
At that moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
"Is the body... acting on its own?"
"Consciousness doesn't need to give commands; muscles and nerves instinctively produce the most perfect response?"
"Isn't this... the prototype of Ultra Instinct?!"
That moment of sudden enlightenment was like a seed, deeply planted in Son Satoshi's heart.
In the following six years.
After cultivating his God Ki, he began to consciously imitate that feeling.
Use the [ Sheep Talisman ] to strip away distracting thoughts and allow your consciousness to enter a state of "emptiness" and observation; use the [ Tiger Talisman ] to balance the conflict between body and mind.
He forged his own unique path.
Not taught by Angel.
It relies on an almost superhuman level of comprehension and a deep understanding of Talisman abilities.
He had already mastered this level of skill several years ago.
However, he wasn't skilled enough at that time, and he couldn't maintain the pose for long.
And now...
"Call..."
Inside the Gravity Chamber, Son Satoshi's movements became faster and faster.
At first, he could still see afterimages, but later, under ten thousand times the gravity, he actually seemed to be walking in a vacuum, and his figure became illusory.
"A calm mind, a body moving in rhythm..."
Son Satoshi's mind was completely empty.
For him now, "Zhao" is as natural as breathing.
He can enter the Ultra Instinct Sign own and maintain it for a long time.
but.
That's not enough.
He knew that there was an even more perfect form beyond this state.
That which allows the body's offense and defense to reach their peak, and allows consciousness to completely merge with the rules of the gods— Perfected Ultra Instinct.
"Three months ago, I could only maintain that state for two and a half minutes..."
"And today, after three months of martial arts exchanges with GT Goku, my martial arts have continued to improve."
"It should be... okay now."
Sudden.
Son Satoshi suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.
boom----------!!!!!
An indescribable aura instantly swept through the entire Gravity Chamber, centered on him.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
But this force was so strong that it caused the surrounding gravitational field, which was ten thousand times stronger than normal, to momentarily distort.
The faint white aura that had been enveloping him underwent a qualitative change at this moment.
"Buzz--"
The light shone brightly.
It was a silvery-white glow that was pure to the extreme and sacred to the extreme.
Bathed in this radiant light.
Son Satoshi's originally jet-black hair began to fade rapidly, eventually turning into a dazzling and mysterious silver.
Not just hair.
His eyebrows, and even his pupils, had turned an awe-inspiring silver-gray.
The gentleness of his eyes was gone, as was the fervor of his battles.
There is only emptiness.
An absolute silence that encompasses all things, yet transcends them.
Perfected Ultra Instinct Technique.
Although, due to limitations in basic combat strength and proficiency, he may not yet be able to match the Angel's normalized state of Ultra Instinct.
But this level of attainment is already the limit that mortals can only look up to.
This was also the source of his previous confidence that he could face Beerus at 70% of his true strength.
Of course, even after the patch, Beerus is still stronger than Ultra Instinct, and he can't beat him yet.
However, when Beerus finally makes his appearance a few years later, everything may still be uncertain.
The surrounding Floating Cannon seemed to sense the immense threat as well, and their attack frequency instantly increased to the maximum.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
A denser network of lasers poured down like a torrential rain.
However.
This time.
The silver-haired Son Satoshi did not merely passively dodge as he had done before.
He moved.
Just as the laser beams were about to touch him.
His figure disappeared.
It's not Instant Transmission.
Rather, it's simply that the speed is so fast that it exceeds the limits of light and shadow capture.
"Bang!"
A soft sound came from the air.
Suddenly, Son Satoshi's figure appeared in front of a Floating Cannon.
There was no buildup, no warning.
He waved his hand lightly.
"Snap."
The Floating Cannon, made of high-strength alloy, disintegrated instantly, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.
Immediately afterwards.
He was like a silver lightning bolt, refracting and leaping within the confined space of the Gravity Chamber.
Every movement he made was absolutely perfect.
It's no longer just about dodging.
Instead, while dodging, they launched the most lethal counterattack.
Offense and defense are integrated; mind and body are united.
The body no longer needs instructions from the brain; every cell seems to have its own thoughts.
While his right hand was blocking the laser, his left leg had already kicked another Floating Cannon to pieces;
As his body somersaulted in mid-air to dodge a sneak attack from behind, his fingers had already blasted the enemy in front of him to pieces.
No thought was given.
Without pause.
Only artistic-like destruction.
In an instant.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
