boom!!
Goku watched as Aku, who had crashed into the planet, hovered in the starry sky, and slowly withdrew his fist.
After the battle, he fully understood that Aku was actually dead.
Now all that remains is his shell, being maliciously manipulated.
In an instant, the planet that Aku fell into erupted with magma, a beam of light appeared, and the entire planet exploded and shattered into pieces.
Amidst the light, a purplish-black afterimage arrived in an instant.
Goku dodged the incoming punch by sidestepping, then raised his right foot and delivered a powerful whip kick to Aku.
Aku was instantly sent flying, roaring as he flew thousands of meters before regaining his footing.
Goku raised his hands high in the air, his hands radiating a sky-blue light as he aimed them at Aku.
" Star Blast!"
Countless slender blue energy projectiles scattered from Goku's hand and hurtled towards Aku, dazzling the eye like a rain curtain.
The sheer density of the attacks made it impossible for Aku to defend against them; after attempting to deflect several attacks, he was forced to passively parry.
In an instant, Aku was enveloped by countless energy blasts, and all the surrounding light seemed to gather on Aku's body.
After bombarding for several seconds, Goku dissipated the energy in his hands.
When the light faded, Aku was already covered in wounds, even as the evil and malicious energy continued to repair his body.
But the healing process can't keep up with the rate at which the injury occurs.
Even though he was injured like this, Aku seemed to feel no pain, and his body was erupting with purplish-black flames as if gathering power.
Goku looked at Aku and sighed softly. He knew that the Aku before him was gone forever.
Even if I remove that evil energy, all that's left is an empty shell.
"It's time to end this!"
Goku stared intently at Aku, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
The scattered silver-white flames that were originally floating around him rapidly expanded, attempting to engulf the entire starry sky behind him.
Silvery-white flames drifted through the universe, with starlight flowing within them, as if conjuring a magnificent Milky Way.
Not to be outdone, Aku unleashed a purplish-black aura to counter it.
Both were gathering their energy, seeking the power for the decisive blow.
"Ultimate!"
Goku stretched out his hands, and the azure energy in his hands merged with the golden energy. Gradually, the golden energy seemed to transform into a violent yet agile lightning bolt.
Countless stars in the universe vie for brilliance, but at this moment they all lose their original dazzling light.
Two dazzling beams of light rose slowly, making even the stars appear somewhat dimmer in their presence.
Overall, however, the blue-gold light is more eye-catching, as it is always more vibrant than the purplish-black.
Goku moved his hands to his waist and began to infuse his ki with Power of Destruction and Power of Time.
The power of the energy wave in his hand grew stronger and stronger, and the entire universe seemed to tremble.
" Kamehameha! Here it comes!!"
Goku swiftly unleashed the Ultimate Kamehameha he had been gathering for so long, and at the same moment, Aku also threw his energy at Goku.
Two energy waves ripped through space and met and collided at the center of the two individuals.
Blue-gold energy clashed with purplish-black energy, and at the point of impact, there seemed to be a plane, the light emanating from which illuminated the entire surrounding star field.
The moment they made contact, the purplish-black energy crumbled and collapsed, like a building about to collapse.
The blue-gold energy suppressed the purplish-black energy with unparalleled power, as if the purplish-black energy was dissolved upon contact.
No matter how much Aku roared or how much energy he unleashed, it was all in vain; the Ultimate Kamehameha still hurtled towards Aku.
Just then, Aku released his hands, and the purplish-black energy dissipated, revealing a smile of relief on his face.
Goku naturally noticed it.
He was somewhat surprised, because normally, a soul without a body is like a dead body.
But Aku's body still retained a sliver of independent consciousness.
It's likely that a fragment of Aku's soul remained and merged into his body when it dissipated, and the previous battle stimulated his body, causing the latent consciousness within his body to be awakened.
Aku didn't want to be used anymore! He had long since realized that everything he was doing was not what he wanted.
"In that case, Aku, I will grant your last wish!"
Goku smiled slightly and increased his output, causing the blue-gold Ultimate Kamehameha to expand once more.
As his elder brother from another timeline, I must help him fulfill his last wish, or rather, his dying wish!
The Ultimate Kamehameha gradually enveloped Aku's entire body, and in the blue light, Aku smiled and dissipated from the world.
As the light faded, Goku gazed at the empty star field before him and sighed softly.
Although he wasn't from Aku's own timeline, he felt great sympathy for Aku's experiences.
Goku observed Aku's past through the Power of Time, and Aku's fate was truly tragic without Goku's own existence.
His wife died before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it. His home planet was also destroyed by Cooler. At that time, Aku was not as disappointed with Planet Beyond as he is now in his own timeline.
Goku's gaze was fixed on a spot in the empty space, his sharp eyes like a drawn sword.
At that moment, Demigra, who had been watching from the Darkness Demon Realm, instantly took two steps back, because the place Goku was looking at was exactly where Demigra's line of sight was.
However, Demigra quickly recovered and gave a cold snort.
Are you really that good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting anyway?
I'm holed up in the Darkness Demon Realm. You can try to find the Darkness Demon Realm if you dare.
"No, I have to tell Mira and the others. They need to get out of here quickly, or it will be too late," Demigra muttered to herself as she cut off the projection.
He immediately contacted Mira and the others.
" Mira, Towa, your plan has failed. Retreat immediately to minimize your losses. I will help you escape."
Mira and Towa, who were struggling to hold on, suddenly remembered Demigra's command.
Almost everyone in the Darkness Demon Realm, except for Frieza and Cumber, received this message.
It's clear that Demigra treated them differently; of course, retreat always comes at a price.
Demigra has made the choice for Mira, abandoning Frieza and Cumber, leaving them behind to cover the retreat of the others.
After all, Frieza and Cumber couldn't be considered truly loyal to the Darkness Demon Realm; they only remained there Darkness Demon Realm.
If it weren't for that person, they would have defected long ago, especially that treacherous Frieza.
The unusual behavior caused by the Darkness Demon Realm's attempt to retreat was naturally noticed by Gohan.
Mira! Don't even think about escaping!
Bardock roared and quickly condensed a ball of energy, throwing it at Mira, who was trying to escape.
Mira decisively chose to withstand the burst of energy, retreating in time to the portal behind her at the cost of injury.
"Cut!"
Bardock was extremely displeased. Before Demigra was resurrected, Mira was one of the greatest enemies of the Time Realm, and together with Towa, she always disrupted various parallel universes.
He knew that Goku must have won; otherwise Mira Goku n't have retreated so decisively.
"Oh no! Mira has run away, does that mean Towa and the others will have to run away too?"
Bardock's expression changed drastically, and he Instant Transmission to the battlefield between Vegeta and Towa. Even so, he only caught a glimpse of Towa's afterimage as she fled.
"Damn it! Towa managed to escape again!"
Bardock looked unwilling and clenched his fists tightly.
"Hmm? That's not right. It seems there are still two people left behind in the Darkness Demon Realm who didn't escape."
