Super Saiyan 2, Tri-Energy Super Dragon Fist.

With a loud rumbling sound, a large crater with a diameter of two hundred meters appeared on the ground. At the centre laid Ikuya who had reverted back to his base form.

Right before the fist of the Primordial Azure Dragon connected, Ikuya instantly put up a barrier. But four of his ribs still fractured.

Ikuya laid there while looking up at the sky with a dazed expression. He wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to be devoid of any strength at all.

Chu Yuechan who saw what just happened felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her. Then after seeing the motionless Ikuya, a heavy sad feeling rose in her heart as it pained. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. At this moment, her Frozen heart was completely shattered. All the disbelief and amazement, Chu Yuechan had in witnessing the catastrophic levels of power that Ikuya possessed, had completely vanished.

" Ikuya!"

" Screech!!!" A heaven shaking Phoenix cry resounded as violent flames fluttered on Fera. Fera prepared to dash towards Ikuya along with Chu Yuechan. But, a single glance from the blue haired man, Primordial Azure Dragon immobilized both Chu Yuechan and Fera. They were forced into a state of partial unconsciousness.

Suddenly, the earth beneath Ikuya fractured as a massive hole appeared. Ikuya fell into the abyss-like hole and disappeared from the surface of the planet.

The Primordial Azure Dragon looked at the place Ikuya was at just a moment ago. He looked like he was expecting something.

' Don't let down my expectations. You're my last hope.'

In an Underground terrain that was about three hundred feet below the earth surface.

Ikuya was struggling to get up. Even he himself didn't understand why he was pushing himself so much.

' I want to win... But why do I want to win...? I've never felt such a desire before. I should be a being who is supposed to be beyond the concepts of winning and losing. Why am I pushing myself to stand up again so much...? Does winning mean that much to me...? But why?' Ikuya was trying his best to stand up and finally was able to stand, albiet barely.

Ikuya used his own powers to extract the tyrannical energy that was restricting his 'Nirvanic Regeneration'. Ikuya's overpowered regenerative abilities kicked in as soon as the tyrannical energy was ejected from his body.

Ikuya closed his eyes and his mind became calm as he contemplated the strange overwhelming desire he was feeling.

Suddenly everything became clear to him.

' To think my personality is already starting to be affected by Son Goku. Still..... If I can feel this sort of excitement whenever I fight strong opponents, I'll never come to regret my decision of integrating with Son Goku's memories.' Ikuya thought with a smile.

Ikuya wanted to win against Primordial Azure Dragon with everything he's got. Only the will he be satisfied.

" My power has increased drastically while I fought against the Primordial Azure Dragon. I should be able to easily tap into the next level of Super Saiyan." Ikuya muttered as he grips his fists around his hips and assumes a stance.

" Haaa....."

Shimmering golden ki begins to envelop Ikuya's body. As Ikuya's power rises, his aura spreads like a fierce flame and his upright hair assumes a golden glow.

His upright golden hair started to glow with a darker golden shade as veins bulged in his forehead and limbs like roots.

*Boom!*

A shock wave erupted from Ikuya's body.

With a tremendous shout, Ikuya was covered in a shining gold light as the light expanded and tremendous shockwaves generated. These shockwaves caused Chu Yuechan and Fera to snap out of their partial unconscious state.

Primordial Azure Dragon smiled wryly as he felt the tremendous pressure Ikuya who was currently in the underground was generating.

" That brat.... He really was hiding his true strength..." The Primordial Azure Dragon muttered in distasteful tone. But the expression on his face was that of satisfaction and hope. It was as if he'd finally found the solution to his problems.

Pillars of golden light erupted from ground all over the residing empire and the resulting golden light shined across the entire Blue Wind Empire and even the neighbouring countries. By merely witnessing the golden light, the people thought that they were at the presence of a god.

After his power up, Ikuya had a larger aura that now has a very evident blue-coloured, bio-electrical field. The pressure he was excluding was countless times higher than when he was in his Full-Power Super Saiyan state.

This was Ikuya's Super Saiyan 2 transformation. This power up gives him three times the power of a Full-Power Super Saiyan form.

Ikuya then directly drilled through the underground towards the surface and in an instant he was floating thirty metres opposite to Primordial Azure Dragon.

Chu Yuechan was dazed as she stared at Ikuya. This was the first time she got a close look at Ikuya's Super Saiyan form.

Ikuya's hair stood upright and his transparent green eyes along with his glowing white skin. And in addition of the golden blazing aura around him along with the blue coloured bio-electric arcs appearing.

This was a scene that Chu Yuechan would probably never forget in her entire lifetime.

Ikuya looked at the Primordial Azure Dragon's human figure and said, " I'm not done yet."

" Young Saiyan, that is enough. You have passed and have very much proven to be worthy of my complete inheritance." The Primordial Azure Dragon said.

" Screw your inheritance! This battle will have clear conclusion! I will make sure of it! I will defeat you with all my strength!" Ikuya said as his Ki burst forth with tremendous force, indicating how serious he was.

' Saiyans.... The warrior race. What an annoying bunch!' The Primordial Azure Dragon thought as he said, " Even if you now have the battle power rivalling a mid level Divine King in this new fancy form of yours. You still have no chance of defeating me."

' Divine King? Is that Ikuya's level of strength?' Chu Yuechan thought after hearing Primordial Azure Dragon's words.

" If there is no chance, then I'll just make one!" Ikuya said.

' I'll definitely need a lot more power to subdue him in his current state. If I do that, my time will be shortened to almost nothing. But...'

" My clan of Dragon Gods have never backed down from a challenge. Very well, boy! One final attack! We will decide the victor and loser among us." The Primordial Azure Dragon said as he excluded an overbearing pressure.

" That's fine by me." Ikuya said as he slowly descended to the ground.

The Primordial Azure Dragon reverted to his gigantic Azure Dragon form and ascended towards the sky and beyond.

Ikuya was about to power up to his limit when Fera and Chu Yuechan came towards him which forced him to stop.

" Ikuya, why are still insisting on fighting that God? He had said that you'd already passed his trial!" Chu Yuechan said in a flustered and worried tone. Yet was still trying to be cold.

Ikuya was about to use his Ki to push both Chu Yuechan and Fera away. But stopped that notion of thought when he saw tearstains at the corner of Chu Yuechan's eyes.

Ikuya sighed and said, " Just back away. I'll be fine. The longer you stall me, the weaker the power of my attack will be."

" But.."

" Just stay back and watch. You're about to see something incredible." Ikuya said as he forced them to move away from his place via his psychic powers.

" Now then..."

His Ki rushed out from his body like a torrent beating against the shore. The golden light fired up fiercely on his body. The surrounding air seemed to be exploding itself.

Then Ikuya started channelling his mental energy and profound energy as well. He started to mold his Ki, mental energy and profound energy together to create a far stronger energy as all of the energy was focused inside his body.

" Young Saiyan. I suggest that you don't try to dodge this move of mine. If you do, you can say goodbye to Blue Pole Star. Now.... Here I come!"

" Azure Dragon's Tyrannical Descent!"

A massive Azure Dragon descended from high up the sky, tearing apart the clouds as it radiated an aura of I'm invincibility.

" How is this guy a kind-hearted Divine Beast? He's basically putting billions of lives in danger."

Ikuya muttered after which he kicked off the ground and blasted off towards the quickly descending massive Azure Dragon by making a straight fist towards the dragon.

" Dragon...."

Veins continued to tremble on Ikuya's right arm. Each time they vibrated, it would release streams of overwhelming power. He could feel an overwhelming power from his body continuously injecting into his fist.

" Fist!!!"

*Booommm!!!*

Ikuya's fist and the massive figure of Azure Dragon collided with each other with a loud 'Booming' sound. Ikuya's Ki turned into that of a golden dragon that resembled 'Shenron' of Dragon Ball Universe.

From others point of view, this was a magnificent sight of two god-like dragons clashing with each other.

But the mere shockwaves generated was enough to scare every living being in the entire Blue Pole Star with the exception of some abnormal beings. The space around seemed to collapse.

After eight seconds, the golden eastern dragon pierced through the Azure Dragon, destroying it.

The Dragon Fist is an incredibly powerful attack developed by Goku. This technique is capable of destroying foes much more powerful than Goku himself. In face of such a technique, how could the Primordial Azure Dragon who had the same power level as Ikuya possibly prevail.

Brilliant golden light then managed to prevail against the azure light as the entire half of the Blue Pole Star was covered by the golden light after it disappeared.

From the crumbling Azure Dragon, an azure light sped up towards Ikuya.

Ikuya had no more strength left. Even his mental energy was drained. So he couldn't do anything against the blue light. After the azure light entered Ikuya, his expression became blank as his body stopped all its movements and powerlessly fell from high up from the air.

Luckily, Fera managed to catch the powerless body of Ikuya. Chu Yuechan saw the lifeless expression of Ikuya and lost her composure. She checked for Ikuya's vital signs and her heart fell. An unbearable pain pierced into her heart and was filled with fear. She couldn't prevent the tears that were involuntarily streaming down her beautiful cheeks.

" Ikuya!... Ikuya!!" Chu Yuechan cried out in sorrow and fear as dread enveloped her heart. Right now, she realized how much this seemingly indifferent youth meant to her.

At the beginning, Chu Yuechan only had gratitude towards Ikuya. But during the three months she was with Ikuya, her emotions towards him had started to change into something more complicated. But whenever she was with him, she oddly felt at ease. The time she spent with Ikuya was the most peaceful ones in her life as she never had to worry about anything. To her, Ikuya had already become a very important existence that she felt like she could depend on him at any situation. Though his shamelessness when it comes to the matter of wealth was a bit infuriating to Chu Yuechan, it was something new to her.

But seeing Ikuya in this state had left her heartbroken and Fera's mournful cries only incited more sorrow from Chu Yuechan.
