Kaizen staggered back, his glowing red eyes locked onto Goku.
This wasn't the same Ultra Instinct from before.
This was something else.
Goku hovered above the battlefield, his entire body radiating a blinding white aura. Unlike the previous silver glow of Ultra Instinct, this energy felt… endless. Unshakable.
His eyes, now pure white, reflected no emotion—only absolute calm.
Kaizen clenched his fists. "What the hell… is this?"
Goku flexed his fingers slightly, feeling the energy around him. "I'm not sure what to call it yet… but I get it now."
Kaizen's brow twitched. "Get what?"
Goku grinned slightly. "Ultra Instinct makes me react to danger. But this…" His aura flickered like divine flames. "…this lets me move how I want."
Kaizen smirked. "Tch. Talk all you want, but let's see if you can back it up!"
He vanished.
Goku didn't move.
Kaizen reappeared in front of him in an instant, his fist coated in pure destruction energy.
BOOM!
His punch connected square in Goku's face.
A direct hit.
The ground shattered, the sky split apart, and the entire planet shook violently.
But—
Kaizen's expression changed.
His fist was still on Goku's face. But Goku… hadn't moved.
Not even an inch.
Kaizen's breath hitched. "What—"
Before he could react, Goku's hand shot up, gripping Kaizen's wrist.
The moment he touched him—
Kaizen felt everything stop.
His mark flickered. His power felt like it was being drained away.
Goku's eyes locked onto his. "Your strength is impressive, Kaizen. But you rely too much on control."
Kaizen gritted his teeth. "Shut up!"
He ripped his arm away and launched a barrage of attacks. Every punch, every kick—all of them aimed to destroy Goku completely.
But—
Goku weaved through every attack effortlessly.
It wasn't just dodging. It was as if he already knew where Kaizen would strike before he even moved.
Kaizen's frustration grew. "STOP MOVING!"
He raised his hand and unleashed a planet-destroying energy wave, the sheer force of it causing entire continents to split apart.
The attack swallowed Goku whole.
BOOOOOOM!
A massive explosion erupted, shaking the entire universe.
Vegeta, watching from a distance, shielded his eyes. "Damn it, Kakarot… did he really—?"
Then—
The smoke cleared.
Kaizen's eyes widened in horror.
Goku was still standing there.
Completely unharmed.
Not a single scratch.
Goku exhaled. "…You're strong, Kaizen."
His aura flared, creating a shockwave that sent Kaizen flying back.
Goku slowly clenched his fists.
"But this fight… is over."
