Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In a flash of light and shadow, the two extremely fast figures collided again in the blink of an eye.
It is clear that even in the main timeline, Son Goku has only initially mastered the form of Ultra Instinct -Sign-.
However, at this moment, his physical strength, movement speed, and ability to anticipate and dodge danger have all been greatly enhanced in an unimaginable way.
Every punch and kick that GT Son Goku threw was easily dodged by his body, which reacted instinctively.
In contrast, the punching speed of the main timeline's Son Goku is clearly three points faster than that of the Full-Power Super Saiyan 4 GT Son Goku.
Therefore, after only a few dozen rounds of fierce exchanges, GT Son Goku was genuinely hit more than a dozen times by the sharp force of his punches.
Although thanks to the incredibly strong physical defense of Super Saiyan 4, he did not suffer any exaggerated or serious external injuries.
However, the energy circulating within his body had clearly begun to exhibit extremely violent and disordered fluctuations.
Moreover, not only that, his physical reserves also began to decline irreversibly and severely.
After all, while high-level transformations like Super Saiyan 4 are relatively stable, they don't consume too much energy during normal battles.
However, in the face of such a high-intensity life-or-death struggle, the rate of consumption due to such rapid evaporation is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even the formidable Super Saiyan 4 has its limits in terms of physiology and physical structure.
The hands of time were ticking away rapidly, and only two minutes had passed.
The Super Son Goku Super Saiyan 4 Goku atop the wreckage seemed to be suffering from extreme exhaustion, his chest heaving violently as he stood still, panting heavily.
"Judging from the current situation, I'm definitely no match for you today."
"Your fighting power is indeed a bit too strong right now. If you keep fighting at this pace, it looks like it won't be long before you personally eliminate me!"
Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku, with his hands supporting his thighs, could only helplessly smile wryly and speak frankly.
However, at the very moment his self-deprecating words fell, the silver-white light that had been swirling around Son Goku's body in the main timeline vanished.
But without warning, it flickered and then went out completely and disappeared.
The scorching heat that had filled the surrounding world evaporated completely in the blink of an eye.
"What?! How did this turn out?!"
"How could all that sacred energy surrounding you suddenly vanish without warning?!"
Seeing this bizarre reversal, Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku 4 Goku on the other side was filled with undisguised shock and confusion, and hurriedly questioned loudly.
"Huh! This... I'm totally confused myself and have no idea what's going on!"
In the main timeline, Son Goku hung his head, his face also filled with confusion and bewilderment. He had no idea what sudden change had occurred!
But in that mere millisecond, as the layer of silvery-white holy light faded, he felt a violent, intense pain, accumulated in every cell of his body, surge back and sweep over him like a raging tide...
"It seems... the state of Ultra Instinct that I just forcibly entered has been completely dispelled. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. I never really laid a solid foundation at this level to fully master it."
In the main timeline Son Goku trembled violently, and could only grit his teeth and let out an extremely helpless bitter laugh.
After all, he had never fully grasped the true essence of Ultra Instinct through his daily practice.
Just now, I was only forced by the life-or-death crisis to rely on my potential to go berserk, and I accidentally stumbled upon that mysterious threshold at the most coincidental moment.
To put it bluntly, he didn't truly enter the highest realm of the Ultra Instinct; it was purely a matter of a split second just now.
I found a key by chance and briefly slipped inside to take a look at the scenery outside.
At this moment, whether it was the surviving contestants on the towering, dilapidated arena or the various deities sitting in high chairs in the audience, their faces were filled with deep surprise and disbelief.
Everyone was completely baffled as to what bizarre change had occurred to Son Goku. They could only sense, through their divine sense, that the originally oppressive, scorching energy was rapidly decreasing.
No, to be more precise, that eerie divine aura had completely dissipated into the air.
"Whoa!! Look at his exhausted and disheveled state now, that kid Goku really still can't truly control and master the real Ultra Instinct with his own physical body."
Just now, in a split second, I only briefly opened the door to that realm of meaning through the thrill of life and death.
Just as the entire arena fell into an eerie silence, the guiding Angel Whis, standing in the stands of Universe 7, shook his head slightly.
He sighed with some regret, then spoke gently to the people around him, explaining and elaborating.
Everyone needs to understand this clearly: the truly perfect and flawless Ultra Instinct is an extremely sacred existence. It is absolutely not something that can be easily mastered by ordinary people through a moment of luck!
The physical phenomena that Son Goku displayed in the main timeline were, frankly speaking, nothing more than a very superficial understanding of the Ultra Instinct technique achieved through an extremely accidental and minor opportunity.
As for the layer of silver vapor that had been tightly wrapped around his body, it was essentially just a result of him forcibly maintaining this overloaded state.
The mortal body within is simply unable to withstand the excess heat emitted by the frantic evaporation of divine energy.
"Tch, although hearing you say that, Whis, did make me feel a little bit better."
"But if we forcibly break free of this form now, wouldn't that bastard Goku be eliminated by the opponent in no time?!"
Beerus, the God of Destruction, pursed his lips in displeasure, his two cat-like fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he muttered through gritted teeth.
Although I just saw that the fool Son Goku was the first to comprehend the Ultra Instinct, which even the gods yearn for.
It made him feel somewhat hurt and uncomfortable, but at least after the other party entered that sacred realm.
Their Universe 7 odds and tactical advantages in securing victory in this match will increase dramatically.
But now, things have taken a turn for the worse. At this most critical juncture, they have forcibly broken free from this invincible combat form.
Given Son Goku's current shriveled and broken mortal body, he probably has exhausted all his physical strength, even the most basic ability to stand up.
If this brutal confrontation continues, his defeat is absolutely inevitable.
And in the very next instant after Beerus's anxious voice fell, the main timeline Son Goku above the ruins felt as if all his spine had been drained.
With a thud, one knee slammed heavily onto the cold alloy floor.
Because at this moment, every bit of energy and physical strength in his body had been squeezed to the absolute limit of destruction, leaving him feeling weak and in excruciating pain all over his body.
Even the slightest strength that would have been enough to stand up again had completely vanished.
"Damn it! My body... is it really completely devoid of any remaining strength?!"
In the main timeline Son Goku clenched his fist tightly on the ground, making the metal debris creak. At this moment, he felt extremely frustrated and unwilling deep in his heart.
If I were eliminated on the spot for such a ridiculous reason as exhaustion, that would be incredibly embarrassing...
But reality is often so cruel and heartless. Faced with this broken body that had long since become unresponsive, completely numb and weak, he could no longer find even the slightest bit of energy left to turn the tide.
"Looks like your luck is really bad. If you had just held on for even a minute longer in that weird form, I would probably be the one who got knocked off the stage and eliminated."
Seeing this, the Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku on the other side was panting heavily, somewhat exhausted. He looked at his opponent kneeling on one knee with a sigh of regret and slowly spoke.
"But in the end, you've still lost."
GT Son Goku sighed and said helplessly to the Son Goku of the main timeline on the ground.
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right arm, his palm aimed precisely at the exhausted Son Goku kneeling on the ground, and a ball of whistling energy instantly condensed and shot out.
At this critical juncture of utter exhaustion, the opponent has absolutely no chance to awaken that divine form again.
Whoosh!
Rumble!!
However, to everyone's surprise, the deadly energy ball failed to directly hit Son Goku's body.
Instead, it was precisely intercepted halfway by another blinding beam of energy that flew out of nowhere.
In the mere milliseconds it took for the two violent energies to collide violently in mid-air, an earth-shattering explosion was instantly triggered.
The extremely hard Alloy Arena floor was blasted into a huge crater by the aftershocks of the impact.
Whoosh!
The next second, a figure as agile as a leopard appeared out of thin air, tearing through the dust like lightning, and stood in front of Son Goku. With a swift movement, the figure reached out and gently lifted the limp Son Goku into its arms.
The person who rushed to the rescue was none other than Uub!
He didn't even choose to engage in any pointless fighting with GT Son Goku on the spot. Instead, he pushed off the ground with both legs and quickly retreated to create distance.
They carried Son Goku directly back to the blind spot of the Universe 7's camp.
