The Last Stand (ch 44)

As the battle between Gogeta and Synor reached its climax, Synor taunted Gogeta with a mocking grin. "Is that all you've got, mortals? Your time is running out," he sneered, aware that Gogeta's fusion had a limited duration.

Gogeta's eyes blazed with determination, and he pushed himself even further, tapping into his newfound form that combined Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct. His hair took on a radiant purple hue, and his energy surged like that of a god of destruction.

Ignoring the dwindling time, Gogeta's movements became fluid and precise, effortlessly dodging Synor's attacks. He unleashed a barrage of powerful blows, each strike fueled by his unfathomable power.

Rozane observed from the sidelines, his heart pounding with a mixture of anxiety and awe. He had little time left, and his energy was fading fast. But he couldn't bear to watch Gogeta fight alone, knowing that the fate of the universe hung in the balance.

With a surge of determination, Rozane summoned every ounce of strength he had left. He focused the power of the Infinity Stones and his dark arts, devising a plan to give Gogeta an advantage. Using the Space Stone, he created an ethereal barrier, trapping Synor in place for a brief moment.

"Gogeta! This is your chance! Use all your power!" Rozane shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

Gogeta didn't hesitate. He gathered every last ounce of energy, pouring it into a devastating attack. His fists crackled with radiant energy as he charged his ultimate move—the Stardust Breaker.

With a battle cry that shook the very heavens, Gogeta unleashed the attack, a surging wave of cosmic power hurtling toward Synor. The Stardust Breaker tore through the barriers of reality, colliding with Synor's form in a brilliant explosion of light.

For a moment, the battlefield was engulfed in blinding radiance. As the dust settled, Synor's formidable figure wavered, struggling to stand. He looked shocked and bewildered, his arrogance replaced with a sense of disbelief.

Gogeta stood tall, his energy waning, but the smile on his face never faltered. "It's over, Synor," he declared, his voice steady and resolute.

Synor staggered, his power beginning to wane. "You...you can't defeat me!" he growled, his voice trembling with frustration.

But even with his defiant words, Synor's strength was diminishing rapidly. The battle had taken its toll on him, and Gogeta's powerful attack had left him vulnerable.

As the chapter neared its end, Synor's form began to fade, and he slowly dissipated into the cosmos. Gogeta, panting from the intense battle, watched as Synor's energy dispersed, his resolve unwavering.

With Synor defeated, the battlefield fell silent. Gogeta's fusion was nearing its end, and he began to revert back to Goku and Vegeta. Rozane, his energy nearly depleted, collapsed to his knees, feeling the weight of the battle on his shoulders.

The chapter concluded with a sense of relief, knowing that they had emerged victorious. However, the battle had taken its toll, leaving Gogeta and Rozane drained and battered. But the true test had yet to come, as they now faced a new challenge that loomed on the horizon.
