‘Boom~!!!’
The terrifying energy blast struck Goku’s body, driving him continuously downward.
Its unstoppable momentum seemed to leave no room for resistance at all.
[Damn it! I can’t let this keep going…!!] Feeling the scorching power radiating from the energy blast, Goku gritted his teeth.
No matter what, he had to neutralize this energy blast. Otherwise, if the energy exploded, even if he did not die, he would still end up half-crippled.
God Ki surged as Goku used every means at his disposal, resisting with all his strength against the energy blast pressing into his chest.
However, no matter what he did, he could do nothing against the energy blast.
Under these circumstances, even 10x Kaio-ken was clearly not enough.
But if he used an even higher multiplier of Kaio-ken, could his body withstand it?
That was a level he had never attempted before.
Goku’s mind was in complete chaos, and for a moment he did not know what to do.
It was only when he was about to crash into the ground that he finally made up his mind. Even if his body collapsed, it was still better than being blown half-paralyzed!
“Kaio-ken!! 15x!!!”
‘Boom~~!!!!’
A muffled explosion rang out.
The blood-colored baleful aura erupted even further. Having obtained even greater power, Goku suddenly exerted force with both hands and forcibly knocked the energy blast pressing against his chest back into the sky.
With the crisis resolved, Goku quickly stabilized himself, preventing himself from making contact with the ground.
“Oh? A 15x Kaio-ken? At this point in time, you can already go this far? That really is quite impressive.” Talot was slightly surprised.
After all, judging by the circumstances of the original Super timeline during this period, Goku’s mastery of the Kaio-ken should not yet have reached the point where he could use it freely at will.
Otherwise, when he went to the future timeline to deal with Black in the early stages, there would have been no need to go through so much trouble. If he had simply used a 10x or even higher Kaio-ken from the start, he could at least have suppressed him with ease.
And that was without even mentioning the 15x Kaio-ken he was using now.
Unfortunately, after fooling around until the very end, things still turned out this way.
‘Crackle crackle~~!!!!’
Blood-colored lightning descended from the sky.
Affected by Goku’s erupting aura, the sky within a radius of over 5km darkened. This God Ki, which had expanded to its limit, seemed to have already reached a level capable of contending with Talot on equal footing.
But had it really reached a level where it could contend with Talot?
Of course not.
Up to this point in the battle, Talot had not even brought out half the power of his Super Saiyan Full Power state. He had been tormenting Goku the entire time with a playful attitude.
“Haaaaaaa~~!!!” Goku threw his head back and roared. The muscles throughout his body swelled, while the divine power within him surged endlessly like an erupting volcano.
Once his aura had risen to its peak, Goku gathered strength in his legs, shattered the ground beneath his feet, and transformed into a streak of blood-colored light as he charged toward Talot.
For Goku, he would struggle with everything he had until the very last moment.
Talot regarded this with disdain and did not care about Goku’s counterattack in the slightest.
Once he closed the distance, Goku launched a ferocious and terrifying offensive against Talot. Powerful attacks capable of destroying heaven and earth continuously hammered toward Talot.
The two grappled with each other and resumed hand-to-hand combat.
Goku attacked Talot without holding anything back, giving everything he had with every strike, hoping to force Talot into exposing an opening through his all-out assault.
But as the battle continued, Goku was horrified to discover that Talot was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.
This man had already reached heights that were difficult for him to attain. No matter how Goku attacked, Talot effortlessly neutralized and dissolved everything, as though every thought in Goku’s mind had been casually seen through.
“I’m done playing with you, Kakarot.”
After continuously receiving Goku’s attacks, Talot lost the patience to keep playing with him.
Immediately afterward, he suddenly exerted his strength, disrupting Goku’s attack rhythm in one go, then sent Goku flying away with a single punch.
Swept away by the tremendous force, Goku was sent flying for several hundred meters. Before he even had the chance to catch his breath, Talot had already arrived directly in front of him.
Powerful fists relentlessly hammered toward Goku.
At first, Goku could still barely defend himself, but as Talot’s punches grew heavier and heavier, Goku’s defense also reached the verge of being completely overwhelmed.
“How many more times can you block me with the Kaio-ken?” A smirk appeared on Talot’s face as golden aura compressed around his fist, and he suddenly unleashed a tremendously powerful blow.
‘Bang~~!!!!’
The might of this punch was terrifying beyond measure.
Goku’s defense was torn apart on the spot, and his body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, crashing into a mountain.
Talot pressed his advantage and charged forward again. When he was less than ten meters away from Goku, he raised his hand and unleashed a Kiai Cannon, blasting the entire mountain apart.
Struck by the Kiai Cannon, Goku was sent flying backward once again.
The assault was not over. Talot charged forward again, caught up to the airborne Goku, and launched a continuous barrage of attacks.
At this moment, even with the enhancement of the 15x Kaio-ken, Goku was like a three-year-old child in Talot’s hands.
[Strong… He’s too strong. Even a 15x Kaio-ken can’t affect him in the slightest!] Goku clearly recognized the gap between them.
He wanted to counterattack, but he was already incapable of doing so.
Even if he focused completely and pushed himself to the limit, it was useless.
“It’s over, Kakarot!” Talot grinned.
Goku was greatly alarmed, exhausting every possible means as he watched Talot’s fist close in on him.
Yet at that very instant, Goku suddenly disappeared from space.
Talot’s fist froze in midair, and he muttered in disbelief, “Instant Transmission? You actually managed to make a breakthrough at a moment like this.”
On the other side, after Goku reappeared, he desperately controlled his emotions.
At this moment, his hands were cupped together at his waist, God Ki gathering into them at the fastest possible speed as the embryonic form of a Kamehameha appeared.
“Haaah~~!!” Goku suddenly thrust both hands forward. The Kamehameha enhanced by the 15x Kaio-ken surged toward Talot like a roaring blue dragon.
‘Rumble~~!!!’
The raging energy engulfed Talot’s body, triggering an earth-shaking super explosion.
Goku continued pouring out energy, constantly increasing the power of the Kamehameha, attempting to completely defeat Talot with this attack.
But what he could never have imagined was that Talot endured the 15x Kaio-ken Kamehameha with nothing but the toughness of his body and charged all the way to Goku.
This sight left Goku dumbfounded, a sense of despair sweeping through his entire body.
