"What? Fight you?" Jiren was surprised by Goku's unusual thought process.
"Yes, how about it?" Goku smiled and looked at Jiren.
"Alright!" Jiren barely hesitated; he could tell that the person in front of him was extremely strong!
A crimson God Ki, dotted with starlight, gradually appeared on Goku's body; he had been maintaining this form for a while.
His current strength has reached the Divine Power Third Realm (1.25/1000), which is just about right!
At the same time, Jiren, who was facing off against Goku, also emitted a crimson aura.
The next second, the figure exuding a powerful aura disappeared from the spot. The two of them simultaneously unleashed a punch, as swift as lightning, as if they had turned into light.
The Bubble Universe Space can be seen as similar to the World of Void, suitable for the existence of any living being, and even capable of transmitting sound.
In an instant, the deafening roar of countless fists and feet colliding echoed throughout the Bubble Universe Space!
"Your fighting skills are really strong, almost on par with mine!"
After the two separated briefly, Goku looked at Jiren.
This was the first time he had encountered someone other than Whis whose combat skills were comparable to his own, perhaps slightly weaker, but still quite limited.
"Really? Son Goku! You're the second one I've met!" Jiren had already acknowledged Goku's strength.
In his universe, no one except angels could match his combat skills, not even the God of Destruction!
"You know my name, but I don't know yours yet," Goku said with a smile.
He certainly remembered it, but this was the first time he had met Jiren.
" Jiren!"
After answering, Jiren flashed back in front of Goku and threw a punch.
The two clashed again, their figures flashing constantly in the Bubble Universe Space, each flash representing dozens of collisions.
Several tens of minutes later, the two stopped moving at the same time. Jiren was panting heavily, his oval, bulging eyes fixed on Goku in front of him.
Having been at a disadvantage throughout the previous battle, defeat seemed inevitable. It appeared that the only option was to unleash the hidden power within me!
Goku was taken aback when he saw Jiren suddenly stop moving. What was Jiren trying to do?
His aura is expanding! Could it be?
Goku thought of Jiren's clothes-ripping form from the original story, and he figured it must be right!
"Ha!!"
Jiren roared, his furious voice seemingly echoing throughout the entire Bubble Universe Space.
"Sizzle!"
His muscles swelled up, so much so that they tore his already tattered upper body clothing apart.
The crimson flames surrounding his body grew increasingly scorching. As Goku looked around, all he could see was a fiery, crimson aura—it was truly awe-inspiring.
Having done all this, Jiren turned his bulging forehead and looked at Goku.
" Son Goku, come on, that's my true power!"
Goku smiled slightly as he looked at Jiren, whose strength had reached the Divine Power Third Realm (2.4/1000), and then threw a punch at him.
boom!!
This collision sent Goku flying backwards for over a hundred meters before he regained his footing.
Goku felt his arm trembling slightly from the pain. If he hadn't managed to deflect the force in time, that blow would have seriously injured him.
As expected, he had no chance of fighting back against an opponent who was almost twice as strong and had similar combat skills.
So I'm sorry, Jiren, I didn't mean to undermine your confidence!
"Sizzle!"
Goku shook his somewhat numb body, grabbed his slightly tattered orange martial arts uniform with his left hand, and tore it open with force.
"Ha!!!"
With a roar, Goku unleashed a burst of crimson God Ki, which gradually transformed into a sky-blue God Ki.
His hair began to stand up, and his pupils began to radiate a deep blue light.
The next second, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Blue, and the sky-blue God Ki that burst forth directly enveloped Jiren's crimson aura.
After Goku withdrew all his energy, he turned his head slightly and looked at Jiren not far away.
" Jiren, this is a Super Saiyan God who has surpassed Super Saiyan God!" Goku smiled.
He didn't choose to transform into Super Saiyan Rosé. Since he was going to suffer a blow anyway, he figured he might as well make it bigger and maybe even spur Jiren to become stronger.
"This... how is this possible?"
Jiren stared intently at Goku, whose fur had turned blue, his black eyes seemingly about to bulge out of their sockets.
Although Jiren couldn't specifically sense the power of the Godly Aura, its overwhelming presence and keen perception served as a stark reminder of Jiren Goku's current strength.
The next second, Goku appeared in front of him at a speed that Jiren couldn't counter at all.
He condensed a yellow energy blast in his hand and pressed it against Jiren's abdomen.
"You lost, Jiren!"
Goku's declaration slowly reached Jiren's ears, replaying in his mind again and again.
Jiren's expression gradually became incredibly ferocious.
No, impossible! How could I possibly lose!
Jiren mustered all his strength to resist, but suddenly stopped moving.
Yes, I lost. It was the first time I'd lost so completely. I'm definitely not strong enough!
Jiren took a deep breath and relaxed, giving up the struggle.
He looked at Goku in front of him, and looking at Goku's face, his intuition told him that Goku couldn't be that old! He might even be younger than himself!
" Son Goku, I've lost!"
Upon hearing this, Goku dispersed the energy blast in his hand; he had been prepared for Jiren to fight to the death.
But this is for the best.
" Son Goku, how did you become so powerful?" Jiren asked bluntly, driven by his desire for greater strength.
"Huh? Why am I so powerful?"
Goku looked in the direction of Bulma and slowly spoke.
"I have something I want to protect, and I also can't do without my teachers."
"Teacher?"
"Yes, my current strength is inseparable from my teachers, one of whom is an angel!"
"An angel? No wonder, so you don't need to become God of Destruction Candidate to receive angelic guidance?" Jiren muttered to himself.
