Goku Black watched helplessly as his own body performed these actions, unable to do a thing.

He knew that if this power continued to run rampant, the universe would inevitably face total annihilation. Just as he felt despair setting in, he suddenly thought of Son Goku and the other opponents he had once fought.

I cannot let this power succeed! Goku Black swore to himself. He focused all his mental energy, attempting to find a glimmer of light within this dark abyss. In the endless darkness, he seemed to see a faint spark of hope—the deep-seated longing for freedom and justice within his own heart.

Goku Black grasped this sliver of hope tightly and, with every ounce of his strength, launched a final assault against the evil power. His soul struggled in agony, and his body teetered on the brink of collapse under the clash of forces. Yet he did not give up; he knew he bore the fate of the entire universe on his shoulders.

"Get out of me!" Goku Black let out a heaven-shaking roar. This cry contained all his power and will, as if he meant to tear the dark world asunder. Under the impact of this powerful will, the mysterious evil force seemed to feel a flicker of fear.

Just as Goku Black's roar echoed through the darkness, the Mysterious Person paused only briefly before bursting into wild laughter: "Your pathetic resistance is nothing but futile!"

Goku Black felt his soul being pulled by an even greater force; the evil power was like an inescapable giant net, binding him tight. His body became increasingly uncontrollable, the energy ball in his hand glowing ever brighter. The aura of destruction began to spread, causing the very space around him to warp.

Is it really going to end like this? The universe... Goku Black lamented in his heart, yet he did not cease his struggle. He desperately mobilized every last remnant of power within his body, attempting to disrupt the mysterious force's complete control. But every attempt was met with even more intense pain, as if every cell in his body were being eroded and reshaped by the evil power.

Sweat poured from Goku Black like rain. Every mobilization of power felt like his soul was being torn apart, but he gritted his teeth, refusing to yield to this evil. Sensing his stubborn resistance, the mysterious force grew even more violent, rampaging through his body as if to crush his will entirely.

"Hmph, you death-defying fool, how long do you think you can keep resisting!" the Mysterious Person hissed in his mind, accompanied by waves of malice that battered his mental defenses. Goku Black's body began to tremble uncontrollably, his limbs twisting at grotesque angles, his joints popping as if they might shatter at any moment.

Yet, in this abyss of endless pain, Goku Black's gaze grew only more resolute.

Amidst the excruciating agony, he struggled to comb through the chaotic energy meridians in his body, attempting to locate the core flaw of the mysterious force.

Although every attempt was accompanied by unbearable torture, he knew deep down that this was his only chance to protect the universe. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he would exhaust his final ounce of strength.

Suddenly, during a clash of forces, Goku Black caught a glimpse of an abnormal energy fluctuation. It was a momentary weakness exposed while the mysterious force was fully occupied with eroding him.

Without hesitation, he gathered all his remaining strength, forging it into a sharp mental spike, and struck fiercely at the flaw. Goku Black poured his all into condensing his remaining power into a sharp mental blade, thrusting it swiftly toward the opening.

In an instant, the two forces within his body collided, erupting in a blinding light.

The mysterious force seemed not to have anticipated this desperate strike from Goku Black and was caught off guard. Goku Black seized the opportunity to press his advantage, his mental blade tearing wildly at the evil power. However, the mysterious force quickly steadied itself and began a frantic counterattack.

It condensed black blades of energy, piercing wildly into Goku Black's mental consciousness. Within his mental world, wounds were carved everywhere, and pain surged in like a tide. His consciousness began to blur, and his control over his body slipped away bit by bit.

Darkness gradually crept into Goku Black's vision, but the sense of defiance in his heart grew ever stronger. He gathered his remaining strength once more, preparing for a final gamble. Though his body was riddled with holes and his consciousness teetered on the edge, he drove his mental blade forward, launching one last assault against the mysterious force.

It was to no avail; his mental attack was swallowed by the surging counter-offensive of the mysterious force. At this moment, the Mysterious Person's voice echoed within Goku Black once more: "I have finally seized control!" Immediately after, an unfamiliar consciousness wandered through Goku Black's shell, meticulously inspecting the body before appearing quite satisfied.

"It has been a long time since I possessed such a vibrant and powerful vessel," the mysterious entity whispered, its voice filled with greed and self-satisfaction. It then fell into memory.

It had once been the master of this universe, ruling everything with absolute power in the ancient era. Galaxies were born or destroyed at its whim, and life thrived or perished like ants beneath its feet. Its will was the law of the universe; any existence that dared to defy it was mercilessly crushed.

Back then, it stood high above, enjoying the awe and offerings of the entire universe. But as time passed, powerful beings joined forces to launch a breathtaking war of resistance. In that brutal conflict, despite its immense power, it was overwhelmed by numbers and eventually sealed in the deepest reaches of the universe, falling into endless darkness and silence.

Over the long ages, its power waned and its consciousness grew dim. It was only when Goku Black inadvertently approached the seal that the familiar energy fluctuation awakened it. It waited for the right moment, broke through a crack in the seal, and invaded Goku Black's consciousness, attempting to be reborn through his body.

"Now, I have returned," the Mysterious Person said with a cold laugh. "Those who once betrayed me will pay the price, and this universe shall once again crawl beneath my feet." It flexed Goku Black's body, feeling the power surging through every limb and bone.

Having mastered Goku Black's body, the mysterious entity immersed itself in memories of the past, seeing the prosperous planets it had once trodden upon. It savored the memory of its former supreme majesty, then, after roughly sensing the current layout of the universe, it flashed toward the location of a familiar planet from its memories.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared above a mysterious planet. Looking down, the planet was filled with strange architecture, crisscrossing energy flows, and an ecosystem perfectly fused with technology. "It seems this planet belongs to the descendants of those mysterious people," the mysterious entity spoke coldly, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes. "These descendants' planet is truly rich. If I plunder this place, it will become my springboard, enough for me to develop an interstellar fleet." I shall be great once more! Ahahaha~
