Dragon Ball: Kaizen – Chapter 9 "Beyond Ultra Instinct – Kaizen Breaks His Limits!"

BOOM!

Kaizen rocketed backward, tearing through the air as Goku's punch sent shockwaves across the battlefield. Mountains crumbled, and the sky itself split apart from the sheer force.

But before Kaizen could even recover—

Goku was already in front of him.

"You're wide open."

With a calm, fluid motion, Goku twisted his body and delivered a devastating kick to Kaizen's ribs. The impact created a massive shockwave, shaking the entire planet.

Kaizen's body bent from the force, his face contorting in pain.

This speed… this power…

Kaizen had fought countless warriors, but Goku's movements were beyond comprehension.

This wasn't just Ultra Instinct.

This was something else.

Kaizen gritted his teeth. "Tch…!" He twisted mid-air and fired a black energy blast at Goku's face.

Goku tilted his head slightly.

The blast missed.

Kaizen's eyes widened. "What?!"

Goku hadn't even reacted. He had simply… let it pass.

This was a level of Ultra Instinct even the Gods hadn't seen.

Goku exhaled, his silver eyes glowing. "You're strong, Kaizen… but I've fought guys way stronger than you."

Kaizen clenched his fists.

"You think you've already won?!"

His mark flared, pulsing with an ominous energy. The ground trembled, reality itself bending around him. His aura twisted, growing darker—more unstable.

Goku watched carefully, his expression neutral.

Kaizen smirked.

"Then I'll just have to evolve."

Suddenly—

His entire body erupted in black and red flames.

His mark expanded, consuming his entire left arm and part of his chest. His power surged to insane levels, causing cracks to appear in the very fabric of space.

Goku's expression shifted slightly.

Kaizen grinned wildly. "I hope you're ready, Goku… Because I'm just getting started."
