Time Reversal

With Vados and Whis combining their powers, the entire arena was instantly enveloped in dazzling light. Before long, the massive crater slowly vanished!

A brand-new arena appeared before everyone once more!

Vados and Whis bowed slightly toward Ōten above them!

Then the two returned to the rest area!

Looking at the restored arena, Goku smiled. "Gohan and I smashed the arena to pieces. Good thing Whis and Vados were here, or the match really couldn't have continued!"

Suddenly, the referee's voice rang out. "Next, contestant Ōten, please take the stage!"

As soon as the words fell, a black blur flashed past, and Ōten appeared on the arena!

Gohan looked at the two on the arena and murmured, "Go, Lord Ōten!"

"Go, Dad!"

Goku looked at Ōten, who had appeared before him, and said seriously, "I never thought I'd get to fight Lord Ōten again!"

"I hope you won't go easy on me!"

Hearing this, Ōten nodded!

Seeing the two standing at the center of the arena, the referee immediately announced the start of the match!

Goku immediately powered up. With a low roar, terrifying power surged from within his body!

"Aaaahhh!!!"

Blue divine flames immediately rose from beneath his feet!

His astonishing aura instantly engulfed the entire arena!

Facing Goku's explosive aura, Ōten immediately assumed a fighting stance!

Goku froze. He had not expected his opponent not to even transform into a Super Saiyan!

"Fine, then here I come!"

His entire body was wrapped in blue flames, and his overwhelming aura instantly locked onto Ōten!

"Whoosh!!!"

Goku charged forward at high speed!

Champa rose to his feet, stunned. "Lord Ōten looks as though he has merged with heaven and earth. His defense is truly flawless!"

"Hehe, Lord Champa, being able to see that means you've improved greatly. Lord Ōten is already using the power of artistic conception. This is the true state of unity between man and heaven!"

Vados said with a smile!

As the fist before him rapidly grew larger, waves of white radiance spread from Ōten's body!

"Time Reversal!"

Time immediately returned to three seconds earlier, and Goku's fist was suddenly much farther away from Ōten!

Then Ōten easily dodged it!

"What happened?"

"I clearly hit Lord Ōten just now. How did he dodge it?"

Before Goku had time to think, he rapidly threw several punches at Ōten. Yet every time he was about to land a hit, Ōten would mysteriously evade it!

"It's about time I made my move!"

Ōten's voice slowly drifted over!

Using Time Reversal, he instantly found an opening in Goku's attacks and blasted out with a punch!

Goku watched the strange punch approach and quickly dodged. He was clearly about to avoid it!

But the next second, the fist he had seemingly dodged slammed heavily into his abdomen!

Boom!!!

Goku crashed heavily onto the arena!

Piccolo: "What happened?"

Krillin: "That's impossible! He clearly dodged it!"

Vegeta clenched his fists tightly and cursed inwardly, Damn it, even I couldn't see how he threw that punch!

"What a bastard!"

Whis narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "Could it be the power of time?"

"Lord Ōten is truly incredible!"

Beerus froze. "Whis, what did you just say?"

"The power of time?"

"That's the power of angels. Lord Ōten may be strong, but mastering an angel's power should be impossible, shouldn't it?"

Just then, a woman's voice spoke. "No, it's entirely possible. Lord Ōten is very mysterious. No matter what kind of power appears on him, it would not be surprising!"

Whis immediately rose to his feet. "Sister!"

Sure enough, Vados instantly appeared beside Whis. Her speed was equally unfathomable!

Goku slowly got to his feet, utterly shocked!

"So fast!"

"I clearly dodged it, but I still got hit. What kind of speed was that?"

Ōten said slowly, "Surrender!"

Goku was taken aback. "Lord Ōten, that punch was indeed powerful, but I won't surrender!"

"For some reason, my blood is boiling right now!"

Goku immediately powered up. Blue flames rapidly rose around him as he charged toward Ōten once again!

A blue afterimage was instantly left across the arena. Facing the extremely fast Goku, Ōten also vanished from where he stood!

Both of them disappeared from the arena as thunderous booms continuously rang through the air!

"Yah, yah, yah!!!"

Goku's figure occasionally appeared in midair as he continuously attacked Ōten, but without exception, every strike was dodged!

The sky was already filled with Goku's punching force. The next moment, Goku used Instant Transmission and appeared before Ōten, fiercely throwing a punch!

But to Goku's shock, Ōten once again evaded in that bizarre manner. When he reappeared, he was already beside Goku!

Goku was startled, but it was too late to dodge. Ōten struck like lightning, smashing a heavy punch into Goku's chin!

Goku immediately flew backward, leaving a long trail across the arena. He slid back more than ten meters before barely steadying himself!

"Can't see him?"

"Why doesn't his attack leave even the slightest trace?"

Universe 7 Rest Area!

At this moment, a bead of cold sweat slowly ran down Piccolo's forehead. His already green face seemed to have turned even greener!

"Why can't I see his attacks at all?"

Vegeta also wore a look of horror, constantly thinking of ways to deal with it!

Ōten moved again like a ghost, and Goku quickly got to his feet!

"Tenfold Kaioken!!!"

He rapidly powered up, and astonishing red flames immediately layered over the blue flames. A terrifying aura instantly spread outward!

Goku focused completely on guarding against Ōten's attacks!

"Urgh!!!"

Despite being fully on guard, Goku was once again struck in the abdomen!

At this moment, Goku nearly vomited up stomach acid!

And Ōten had already disappeared again!

Just like that, Goku was passively struck several times in succession!

Goku maintained his defensive stance, no longer able to judge where his opponent would throw his next punch from!

He had not expected that even after raising Kaioken tenfold, he still could not find the slightest trace of his opponent!

Just then, the system's voice rang in Ōten's mind!

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in for one hour in Universe 6!"

"Congratulations, Host! Time Reversal duration has increased to 6 seconds!"

"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained 100 million base combat power!"

"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained one Substitute!"

Hearing the string of rewards, Ōten was overjoyed. He had not expected the check-in rewards in Universe 6 to be so generous!

"System, what does the Substitute do?"

Faced with Ōten's question, the Substitute's function soon entered his mind!

"Substitute: When the Host encounters danger, a Substitute can replace the Host in taking damage. Each time a Substitute is consumed, its recovery time is ten days!"

After reading the Substitute's information, Ōten could not hide his delight. Wasn't this an extra life? And it could be used repeatedly—what a good item!

After completing the check-in, he looked at Goku, who was still maintaining a defensive posture!

With Time Reversal now increased to 6 seconds after the check-in, Son Goku had even less chance of winning!

Thus, he charged forward again, and Goku immediately sensed Ōten's attack!

He instantly tried to block it, but Time Reversal had now reached an astonishing 6 seconds. In the brief moment Goku was stunned, he was struck in the chin and sent flying backward!
