Mysterious Voice Seizes Control~

Goku Black gazed at the exit within arm's reach, a glimmer of hope flickering in his eyes, only for that light to be instantly swallowed by endless darkness. Countless black palms surged forth like a tidal wave, blocking his path completely.

"Since you refuse to hand it over willingly, I shall have to take it by force." The mysterious voice echoed once more, cold and filled with predatory intent.

No sooner had the words fallen than Goku Black's limbs were gripped tightly by those black palms, as if he had been shackled in unbreakable chains.

A sense of unprecedented fear welled up in Goku Black's heart, though it was eclipsed by his unwillingness to yield.

He gritted his teeth and erupted with all his strength, attempting to break free from the palms' restraint. His muscles bulged, veins stood out like cords beneath his skin, and every inch of his flesh seemed to be straining. The dark energy around his body surged wildly, like a trapped beast desperate to shatter its cage.

"Let go of me!" Goku Black roared, his voice reverberating through the eerie space. He thrashed his body, kicking his legs and flailing his arms in a desperate attempt to swat away the black hands binding him. Yet, no matter how he struggled, the palms tightened their grip, as if intent on crushing his bones.

"Don't waste your energy. In my domain, there is no escape." The mysterious voice carried a hint of mockery, echoing in Goku Black's ears like the whisper of a demon.

Goku Black ignored the voice entirely; flames of madness burned in his eyes, and only one thought occupied his mind: escape.

He focused all his mental energy, channeling his dark power into his hands in an attempt to condense a powerful strike to shatter these wretched bindings.

"Haa!" Goku Black bellowed, the dark energy swirling violently between his hands to form a massive sphere. He slammed the energy ball toward the black palms pinning his legs. "BOOM!" With a deafening roar, the sphere exploded, the sheer force of the impact shattering a swathe of the surrounding black palms.

Taking advantage of the shockwave, Goku Black kicked off with all his might, breaking free from the restraint on his legs. He flashed forward like a bolt of black lightning, sprinting toward the exit. However, before he could get far, more black palms surged from every direction, surrounding him once again.

"Trying to run? It won't be that easy." The mysterious voice said coldly. Immediately after, the black palms seized Goku Black again. This time, their strength was even greater; Goku Black felt as though he had been embedded into solid rock, unable to move a muscle.

Goku Black gasped for air, sweat and blood mixing as they trickled down his cheeks. He knew he was in a desperate situation, yet deep within him, a flicker of indomitable will continued to burn. He swore to himself that no matter the cost, he would break free from the control of this mysterious voice and escape this terrifying place.

Goku Black stared at the exit, so close yet so impossibly far, his heart filled with despair and regret. He screamed until his throat felt raw, "I don't want any more power! Just let me out!" At this moment, he finally realized how foolish his greedy pursuit of power had been, but it seemed all too late.

"Do you think this place is somewhere you can come and go as you please? Since you have arrived, you shall not leave without leaving something behind." The mysterious voice responded coldly, followed by a bone-chilling laughter that echoed throughout the space, as if to crush the last shred of Goku Black's hope.

Provoked by the laughter, Goku Black grew even more frantic. Ignoring the bloody welts left by the black palms, he struggled with renewed desperation. He mobilized every last ounce of strength remaining in his body, attempting a final stand against this mysterious and evil force.

"I won't let you succeed!" Goku Black roared, his eyes bloodshot from rage and despair. He focused his mind, gathering all his dark energy into his chest, attempting to condense a power strong enough to break his bonds.

As the energy continued to gather, a massive vortex of black energy formed around Goku Black's body. The vortex spun wildly, emitting a sharp, whistling sound as it contended with the black palms. The mysterious voice seemed to sense that Goku Black's resistance was not to be underestimated, and the black palms began to tighten with even greater force, attempting to subdue him completely before he could erupt.

"You think you can escape like this? What a delusional fantasy!" The mysterious voice bellowed, and immediately, more black palms surged from all sides, drowning Goku Black like a rising tide.

Goku Black struggled bitterly in the ocean of black palms, his breathing growing increasingly ragged and his body weakening. Yet, his eyes still revealed a glimmer of defiance; he held onto one single belief: survive, and escape.

Just as Goku Black felt he could no longer hold on, he suddenly recalled his past experiences, the scenes of his battles against opponents flashing through his mind. He remembered his former strength and his obsessive pursuit of power. In this moment, he was no longer the madman blindly chasing power, but a warrior fighting for his very survival.

"I cannot die here!" Goku Black roared in his heart. He unleashed his final potential, releasing every bit of dark energy within him without reservation. "BOOM!" With a cataclysmic explosion, the entire space trembled violently under the impact of this powerful energy.

The black palms shattered one after another under the force of the energy, and Goku Black seized the chance to break free, sprinting desperately toward the exit. The mysterious voice let out an angry roar, attempting to stop him once more, but Goku Black was beyond caring now; his eyes were fixed solely on the exit filled with hope.

Mid-sprint, Goku Black's body suddenly seized up. He clutched his head tightly with both hands, his face twisted in extreme agony. "Argh! What is this voice? It hurts, it hurts so much..." His screams echoed through the eerie space, laden with endless pain and terror.

"Since you're here, don't leave. Stay behind and be a good vessel for me. Great warriors, I am about to be resurrected!" The mysterious voice rang out again, filled with madness and triumph, as if everything were under its control.

As the voice sounded, Goku Black felt as though his consciousness were being gripped by an invisible hand, a powerful force attempting to forcibly invade his mind and occupy his body.

His mind was a chaotic mess, countless bizarre images and unfamiliar voices intertwining, making his head feel as if it were splitting apart.

"No... I will never let you succeed!" Goku Black gritted his teeth, forcing the words through his clenched jaw. Although the splitting headache nearly robbed him of the ability to think, the spark of survival in his heart burned like a stubborn flame, flickering tenaciously in the darkness.

He endured the pain, stumbling forward toward the exit. Every step was an immense struggle, as if his feet were weighted with thousands of pounds. By now, his body was battered and bruised from the previous battles and struggles, and combined with the mental torture inflicted by the mysterious voice, he had reached his absolute limit.
