Instinctual Battle Chp 145
#VEGITO POV#
Looking at Jiren in front of me we both stand in front of the other as the sheer power emanating from the 2 of us shakes this entire realm of void
My shirt is gone from the sheer damage that I have taken
I figured it out
His Ki's Will
I didn't think that there would be others that would know about it in the tournament but given that it's Jiren, I can understand
He becomes a blur even to me due to how he is using his ability
He is cutting himself temporarily from the present moment in time in order to not be affected by it
I move as fast as I can as I transform into my Super Saiyan 4 with my mark active while using my magic and Kaio-Ken to their furthest extent
Moving faster than Jiren can come back into the timeline, I attack the space where he is going to appear, and as he does my punch connects to his face making him stumble for a moment
I capitalize on that and quickly deliver a kick to his stomach
As my foot connects, Jiren's divine Ki surges a familiar silvery white aura
Damn it all
As if Jiren having God Ki wasn't enough, I don't think I can keep up with his Ultra Instinct way that I am right
No choice left
A silvery-white aura begins to come from me as I close my eyes and activate my own Ultra Instinct while reverting back to my base form
The only thing I can use to compliment my Ultra Instinct right now is my Mark to help me
I dodge to the side as Jiren comes at me with his own Ultra Instinct
We send attacks to the other that are either parried or dodge
No matter what we do, we are evenly matched the way we are right now
We continue like this for a bit before I notice something from Jiren
He is starting to take more breaths than normal
Taking a passing glance at his arm, I focus my hearing to detect if I am right
A moment later, I am smirking as Jiren is beginning to tire himself out
That's something I have over him
Smirking, I wait for him to tire himself out dodging and parrying my attacks
A feeling of being watched comes over me as I can't help but take a glance at Zeno who is staring at me without blinking almost like he is piercing through me and looking at my soul...
Shit
That is exactly what he is doing...
Fuck
Punching Jiren again, I push myself as much as I can without leaving Ultra Instinct
He is incredibly hurt as he has multiple wounds on his body
Focusing a bit more, I create my Ki claws and begin to cut into him
He is stunned as my claws pierce his skin with ease
This is easily my best method of attack with Ultra Instinct
Cutting into him, I see him see him struggle to come up with a defense
I decide to end this once and for all
Punching Jiren on the bottom of his jaw to send him upward, I then grab his leg and slam him into the ground burying him in it
I then make a run for the edge of the arena while casting some spells to weaken Jiren
Dragging him while he is literally in the ground may seem cheap, but I can't afford Jiren getting another power-up out of seemingly nowhere
Getting to the edge, I throw him and at the last moment, I feel his leg change somehow
Throwing the person, I recognize the spatial displacement
Dyspo switched places with Jiren
Hearing a thump a fair distance away, I watch Jiren struggle to his feet
Some of his strength having been sealed by my Grand Magic
Without another word, I rush towards Jiren to throw him off
A barrier makes me stop as Cocette of the Pride Troopers shows off her own divine Ki
(Seriously, what the fuck,) I think to myself as I try to break through the barrier only to actually be repelled
"Holy fucking shit," I say involuntarily as I feel the [Divine Authority]of the barrier
[Divine Authority: Barriers]
That's a thing
Wow
I have never come across it before, even the hundreds of [Divine Authorities] Connor has, I know for a fact he doesn't have this one
Focus dammit
Spreading my senses as I see Jiren Cocette get near Jiren as he groans in frustration at being unable to bring out his full power
I can't break through the barrier
It is as if the place they are in is an isolated pocket universe that actively repels everything
Using Grand Magic, I scan the barrier and shake my head as I send an energy blast through time a few moments before the barrier comes out
Only for the barrier to prevent my Ki blast from bypassing the locked place through time
Oh, that is just bullshit
Using reality magic, I break through the barrier at last through sheer power
Glancing at the empty void outside the arena, I see cracks in both space and time due to what I did that is already starting to heal only to be closed by the Grand Priest's own magic
Of course, he would have Grand Magic
He looks at me seriously and with no small amount of caution
I don't even need to look at Zeno to know that he is looking at me the same
Reaching Jiren, I apply dozens upon dozens of seals on him while knocking Cocette who appears to be having a heart attack out of the arena with a kick to her side
Soon enough, I grab Jiren and once I do, I see him staring at me with dead eyes as all the will to fight me is now gone
He doesn't try to stop me and instead just accepts it as I throw him out of the arena
I don't know what he went through...
Shaking my head, I look around to see that I am that my team is the only one left standing
Vomi jumps over to me as the platform that the Grand Priest is standing on comes down as he gets closer to me
"Congratulations you have won," He begins looking at my team but otherwise staring at me right in the eyes
"As the reward, a wish can be made upon the Super Dragon Balls," He says as the Super Dragon Balls appear and I hide my surprise as I see them
They are huge yes, but the color is different
They are a pale white color, almost like bone
The stars in them shine with a golden light, almost looking like stars
However, I can tell what is wrong with them
Zalama isn't around anymore
What energy they have collected from gathering them across reality is in there
Soon Zalama's energy will be completely gone, nothing will remain
The Grand Priest summons Super Shenron, here it manifests in a much smaller form but still as imposing
I hold back from showing emotion as best I can as I look at him
His scales are very dull grey and while his eyes still shine with the immense power that belonged to Zalama, the dragon has a very tired expression almost like its on its deathbed
"I wish for the universes that were destroyed during the tournament to be brought back," I say after a moment of staring at Super Shenron
The Grand Priest merely looks at me, showing no indication of having heard me before turning around and repeating my wish
"Your name," Says a voice that makes my hair stand on end
Turning around, I see the one who asked
Zeno...
This is it
"My name is Vegito..."
