Feeling the ache in his muscles, Goku's expression gradually grew serious. "Looks like even Super Saiyan Blue can't sustain Kaioken times ten for long!"
As his strength increased, so did the power of Kaioken, putting an enormous strain on his body.
With that thought, Goku looked toward the arena, his gaze sharpening.
Rumble!
A roar rang out. A wave of purple energy blasted the smoke and dust away from the arena, revealing Hit.
"Ahhh..."
Purple light gathered around Hit as he continued powering up, and his battle power soared!
"W-What?! That guy Hit was hiding this much power?" Vegeta's face filled with shock at the sight.
He realized that Hit's ki had already far surpassed Super Saiyan Blue!
For a moment, everyone from Universe 7 grew anxious for Goku.
Meanwhile, the situation on Universe 6's side had been full of ups and downs. At first, they'd thought Universe 6 was going to lose. Then Hit entered the fight, giving them hope. But Sun Wukong's move had caught them completely off guard—and now Hit was struggling to catch up!
"Hit has tremendous untapped potential. He probably hasn't released it before because there have been so few opponents who could challenge him. But now he's run into an oddball like Sun Wukong, and his fighting spirit has been awakened. He's starting to reveal all his power," Vados explained.
Champa sneered. "Hmph! Victory will absolutely be ours. Sun Wukong can't maintain that form for long!"
"Hehe, Lord Champa is right. A burst of power that the body can't withstand naturally puts it under tremendous strain," Vados said with a smile.
Champa folded his arms and grinned smugly, as if victory were already theirs.
In the air, Goku stared at Hit as he powered up. He could feel his opponent's ki gradually catching up to his own.
Unable to hide his shock, Goku murmured, "I never knew there were such powerful fighters in other universes. If I'd known, I should've asked Lord Beerus to take us to meet them sooner! I have to answer the challenge of an opponent who can make me tremble!"
Clenching his fists, Goku roared and powered up again, raising his ki to its absolute peak. A brilliant red light surrounded him.
"Has Goku gone crazy? Why is he raising his power even more? His strength is already greater than Hit's!" Krillin said anxiously.
"As Kakarot's power increases, his condition will get worse and worse. He has to finish the fight as quickly as possible—and to do that, his strength must be far greater than Hit's," Vegeta said gravely.
Watching Hit, Luya's mouth twitched. Hit had finished powering up, and his battle power, as measured by Luya, had reached over a hundred trillion—nearly several times what it was before!
Was he a monster? How could such incredible power exist inside him?
Although Hit's battle power still hadn't reached Sun Wukong's level, Goku's body couldn't unleash his full strength, even with a battle power of over a hundred trillion!
Purple light enveloped Hit, and his aura was stronger than ever. He slowly looked up at Goku. "I have you to thank, Sun Wukong. Thanks to your help, my inner potential has finally been fully unleashed!"
Goku smiled at Hit. "Great. Then let's begin again!"
Hit's eyes narrowed, and he assumed a fighting stance. He still showed no openings, but his posture made it clear that he was finally taking the fight seriously!
Then Hit suddenly vanished!
In the next instant, the space around Goku turned white. Everything stood still!
Time Skip!
Goku gritted his teeth, then suddenly powered up with a roar, breaking through Hit's Time Skip. A moment later, he raised his arm to block!
Thud!
A heavy punch slammed into his arm, but Goku managed to block it!
With a roar, Goku threw a punch!
Smack!
But to his surprise, Hit caught his fist too!
Looking at Goku, Hit said slowly, "Now that I've unleashed all my power, my Time Skip has broken past the one-second limit. You can't surpass me!"
Goku suddenly gave him a mysterious smile. "Is that so?"
Hah!
Thud!
"Ugh!" Hit doubled over like a shrimp after Goku drove a rising knee into him. Then Goku followed with a heavy punch that sent Hit crashing toward the ground!
Hit landed awkwardly. The next moment, he powered up with a roar and used Time Skip again, appearing in front of Goku!
But Goku broke through Hit's Time Skip once more. He couldn't completely overpower Hit, but he could still keep him on the defensive!
Thump!
A gap opened, and Hit punched toward Goku. Goku could only cross his arms to block, and the impact sent him down onto the arena!
Whoosh!
Hit reappeared right in front of Goku.
To everyone's surprise, Goku suddenly roared, and his powerful aura sent Hit flying back. His ki rose even higher!
Zzip! Zzip! Zzip!
After knocking Hit back, Goku didn't hesitate. He used Prince Tactics, unleashing a steady barrage of ki blasts at Hit. Under the powerful, relentless fire, Hit was forced back again and again, unable to dodge in midair!
Suddenly, as Goku continued firing Ki Blasts, his expression turned pained. His muscles began to contract.
Even as a Super Saiyan Blue, he couldn't maintain Kaioken times ten for long!
End this quickly!
Goku's expression tightened. The next moment, he stopped and cupped his hands at his waist. "Ka... me... ha..."
Hit sensed the danger, and his expression turned grave. Then he let out a roar and raised his power to its peak!
Whoosh!
Hit thrust out a hand toward Goku, and a powerful purple energy began gathering in his palm!
"Whis!" Beerus suddenly called from the stands.
"Yes!" Whis understood at once and appeared above the arena in the next instant.
At the same time, Vados appeared beside him.
The two Angels exchanged a glance and nodded. Then they activated their staffs together, and a force field instantly enclosed the arena, Goku, and Hit!
Just then, Goku roared, "Ha!!!"
Boom!!!!
A terrifying blast of energy surged straight toward Hit!
