A classic Dragon Ball moment: a beam clash!
The "Hundredfold Supernova" and "Super Kamehameha" remained locked in a stalemate on the Arena.
The protective barrier hummed as well.
At that moment, the battle between Goku and Cooler reached a fever pitch.
The spectators could not make out what was happening on the Arena at all. All they could see was dark energy and silver energy colliding again and again.
Finally, a thunderous boom rang out!
Both streams of energy exploded at once.
A blinding light erupted, leaving nothing but white between heaven and earth.
Most people hurriedly covered their eyes. Those a little too slow to react even had tears streaming down their faces.
Moments later, the glare finally faded.
But the aftershocks of the energy explosion still swirled over the Arena, with rubble and air currents sweeping wildly across it.
The entire World Martial Arts Tournament Arena had already been blasted to pieces.
In the stands, everyone slowly lowered their hands from their eyes, their gazes converging on the center of the Arena.
That earth-shattering collision of energy had nearly torn this space apart.
Now that the glare had faded and the smoke was slowly dispersing, the two figures on the Arena became the focus of everyone's attention.
Goku casually tore off his tattered shirt and tossed it at his feet.
His lean, muscular upper body was completely exposed.
His chest heaved violently, and his ragged breathing sounded especially clear in the silence of the Arena.
That Super Kamehameha had drained well over half his stamina.
At the other end of the Arena, the black aura surging around Cooler had also become erratic.
Although he still maintained his Black Gold form, he too was panting heavily, his chest rising and falling nonstop.
