The Final Curtain

"It's alright, Rose. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Can you return to your previous state of Ultra Instinct?"

Seeing the way Rose looked, Son Wuling felt as if his heart was bleeding, and asked...

"No problem..."

A white halo appeared in Rose's eyes. Rose's Ultra Instinct was more stable than the silver of Ultra Instinct, and her aura looked sharper.

puff...

"Ugh... cough cough cough..."

Rose coughed up a mouthful of blood and covered her mouth, coughing violently. This startled Son Wuling and Vegito, who turned pale.

"Rose... what's wrong?"

Son Wuling and Vegito quickly helped Rose up; despite her petite and frail appearance, she was able to stand with them at this moment.

"Rose..."

The person wearing Number 18 in the stands almost rushed over, but was stopped by the people around him, including Android 17, Android 21, and Son Gohan.

"Sister, don't worry, Rose will be alright, don't fret!"

Android 17 even called Number 18" sister," which was unprecedented for them.

"Number 18, calm down. I'll heal her when Rose comes back. Even if I can't, there's Mr. Whis and Miss Kusu. Calm down. You're already eliminated. Rushing in will break the rules of the competition."

Android 21 then continued.

Number 18 gradually calmed down, clenching her fists. At this moment, she seemed to understand why Chi-Chi didn't want Son Gohan Son Goten to train and fight, and she also understood why Son Wuling initially didn't want Rose to participate in the Tournament of Power.

"Rose is only eleven years old, right? I'm too weak. If I were even slightly stronger, this wouldn't have happened!"

Number 18's voice was choked with emotion, his fists clenched so tightly that blood flowed from his fingernails, and two tears fell silently down his cheeks. His trembling eyes remained fixed on the ring.

Beerus was also looking down, seemingly unable to bear looking at Number 18. The entire family of Son Wuling had joined the Tournament of Power.

On the arena, Rose pushed Vegito and Son Wuling aside, and the girl stood tall and straight.

"I'm fine, Dad, and Uncle Vegito too. There's not much time left until the Tournament of Power ends, I can still fight!"

Rose's face was extremely pale, and her clothes were completely soaked with sweat. She struggled to her feet, clearly indicating that Ryan's attack had caused Rose considerable injury.

"Your internal organs are all messed up, and you still say you're fine? Get down here right now!"

Sun Wukong opened his spiritual eyes, his voice almost shouting, and reached out to pick up Qiangwei, preparing to throw her off the stage for treatment.

Rose slapped Son Wuling's hand away and replied, "What about Ryan's moves? White Hole, Black Hole, Gamma Ray, my Ultra Instinct can erase his energy and such moves."

"I..."

Rose's still-childish face was resolute and decisive, and her blue eyes were full of stubbornness, which made Son Wuling swallow back all the words he had to say.

"Vegito, we only have one chance, just one chance. This time, let's go together, with Rose supporting us from behind."

"Good..."

Vegito replied, launching the first attack at Ryan, a sword of energy condensing in his palm. He had no intention of holding back, aiming to eliminate him.

Son Wuling followed closely behind, unleashing the energy of Ultra Instinct. His palm formed the shape of a calyx, Kamehameha. But it wasn't over yet; the aura of Absolute Zero merged into the Kamehameha.

Call out!

Rose passed through Son Wuling and moved at high speed to arrive behind Vegito.

Ryan was also pondering a countermeasure. His power was also greatly depleted. Fragments of space around him coalesced, and a silver longsword was wielded in his hand. To Vegito's astonishment, it severed Vegeta's energy sword.

"Solar Flare!"

Behind Vegito, Rose spread her hands and placed them on her forehead, and a dazzling light shone forth once more.

"Ugh... it's that trick again!"

The intense stinging sensation made Ryan quickly close his eyes.

"Scatter, drink up..."

The shouts of Son Wuling rang out, causing Vegito and Rose to quickly leap away, unleashing Kamehameha at Absolute Zero towards Ryan. Wherever it passed, time and space were frozen.

Although Ryan is temporarily out of sight, his Ultra Instinct sense of danger tells him what to do next, but this feeling also tells him that he cannot escape.

The longsword formed from fragments of space in his hand pierced towards Son Wuling, revealing the flowing light of Ultra Instinct. The Kamehameha was cleaved in two by Ryan's silver longsword, and the cut Kamehameha was annihilated and dissipated by the attached Ultra Instinct energy.

His vision returned, and the longsword, under Ryan's control, remained stationary against Son Wuling's chest.

puff...

"What? Father, what are you doing?"

Under Ryan's incredulous gaze, Son Wuling opened his chest and crashed into the longsword in Ryan's hand. The sword was cold and sharp, and he didn't utter a sound as it pierced through Ryan's chest.

Son Wuling did not answer, but tightly gripped Ryan's hands, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He revealed a faint smile, and the energy of the Ultra Instinct erupted around his body. The World-Shaking Palm was unleashed, binding him and Ryan together.

"Now, Vegito!"

At this moment, Vegito, who had been gathering his strength in the distance, aimed his palms at Ryan and Son Wuling, unleashing the Ultimate Kamehameha at maximum power, which struck the two who were enveloped by the World-Shaking Palm.

"Ryan, don't lose!"

Champa, standing in the stands, stood up excitedly, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the two men who had been knocked away.

Trapped within the World-Shaking Palm, Ryan struggled desperately, Black Hole Particles formed, and the viscous Black Hole swallowed Son Wuling's World-Shaking Palm, even absorbing Vegito's Ultimate Kamehameha.

Bang!

Ryan's silver longsword dissipated, and he forcefully pushed Son Wuling out of the arena, eliminating him and sending him back to the stands. His injuries were healed by Android 21's healing spell.

"Aaaaah..."

On the arena, Rose let out a girlish shout, unleashing her Ultra Instinct power and charging at Ryan at high speed.

"Charge, Rose!"

"Come on..."

"Come on..."

From the stands, Son Wuling, Number 18, Beerus, Piccolo, Son Gohan, Android 21, Android 17, and others cheered loudly.

"Ryan ..."

On the Sixth Universe side, eyes widened in shock; this tense moment was crucial in determining the final outcome.

On the ring, Ryan watched the Rose hurtling towards him, pondering how to break the stalemate.

"Instant Transmission... No, Vegito has been waiting for me. If I Instant Transmission and pause for even a moment, he can knock me away without giving me a chance. I can only fight head-on. As long as I can withstand Rose's attack, I'll be fine!"

Ryan glanced at Vegito in the distance and then understood what to do.

"Shatter, my world, Spatial Storm!"

The energy of the Ultra Instinct erupted, and as it looked at the Rose, spatial fragments densely formed, bursting forth like a vortex and rushing towards the Rose.

"Drink it..."

Rose conjured Destructo Disc in her palm, imbued with the Ultra Instinct power on her body, and attacked the Spatial Storm. After splitting it in two, the Divine Power Ultra Instinct annihilated and evaporated the broken Spatial Storm.

"Useless? Is this the power of Ultra Instinct? Even the Spatial Storm was useless. I didn't expect to lose!"

Ryan smiled with relief, accepting his defeat calmly without becoming angry or hysterical.
