The roots of the Cosmic Tree had finally disappeared, bringing peace back to Earth. In the backyard of Bulma's house, Beerus and Whis stood, their expressions calm yet curious.
"Whis, did Goten and the others destroy the Cosmic Tree?" Beerus asked, his tone edged with anticipation.
"I'm not entirely sure," Whis replied, shaking his head lightly. Before they could continue their conversation, a familiar figure materialized in the yard.
It was Goten.
"Goten!" Beerus called out, a small smile playing on his lips. "How is it? Is the problem solved?"
"It's been taken care of!" Goten replied confidently.
"Really? That's fantastic!" Beerus said, visibly relieved.
In the Nest of Time, the Space-Time Patrol had returned, eager to report to the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa. They explained the events that had unfolded in the main timeline.
"The Ball of Time?" Chronoa asked, frowning as she tried to process the information.
"Yeah," Trunks confirmed, his voice filled with excitement. " Goten said his light ball could make me young again!"
"Rejuvenation?" Chronoa muttered, her fingers tapping thoughtfully against her chin. "Who is this Goten? How can he wield power over time itself?"
Determined to uncover the truth, Chronoa retreated to her office and pulled out the Book of Time. She began flipping through its pages, searching for any mention of Goten.
Three months passed quickly, and life settled into a peaceful rhythm. In just two days, Goten would head to Orange Star City High School to take his entrance examination. Passing it would secure his place at the school.
At home, Goten was busy completing a mock test Gohan had assigned. Thanks to copying Gohan's intellect earlier, he breezed through the questions effortlessly.
"I'm done, brother!" Goten announced, setting his paper aside.
"Alright," Gohan said, collecting the paper and carefully grading it. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he handed it back. "Not bad, Goten. You scored 99 points, but don't let your guard down. The real test might be even tougher."
"I'll do my best, brother!" Goten said with a grin.
After a moment, he added, "I'm heading out for a walk."
"Go ahead," Gohan said, nodding his approval.
Goten left the house, eager for some fresh air.
In the God of Destruction's Realm, Goku, Vegeta, and Broly were immersed in intense training. Whis stood nearby, observing their progress with his usual calm demeanor.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance. It was Goten.
"Goten!" Goku called out, halting his training as he recognized his son.
Whis turned to greet the new arrival, his serene expression unwavering. Goten walked toward him, his movements purposeful.
"Mr. Whis," Goten began, his tone serious. "I have a request."
"Oh? What kind of request?" Whis asked, intrigued.
"I want to fight you," Goten said firmly.
A flicker of surprise crossed Goku's face, but he quickly composed himself, assuming it was a simple sparring match.
Whis, however, seemed to have anticipated this. "Very well," he replied, his tone light yet deliberate. "Let's begin."
Without hesitation, Goten nodded. The atmosphere shifted as his energy surged, causing the ground beneath them to tremble. Cracks spread outward, and loose rocks began to levitate.
Goten's golden aura flared as his hair lengthened and turned a radiant gold. His eyes gleamed with a piercing golden hue.
"Super Saiyan Six," Vegeta muttered, his voice tinged with awe. The sheer power radiating from Goten was overwhelming, shaking the entire realm.
Beerus emerged from his palace, his expression one of disbelief. "What's going on here?" he demanded, his gaze fixed on Goten.
Goten let out a roar, his energy erupting further and scattering debris in all directions. Whis stood calmly, his staff raised as he prepared for the impending clash.
Goten vanished in an instant, reappearing in front of Whis with blinding speed. He launched a powerful punch, but Whis sidestepped effortlessly, catching Goten's arm with one hand. The shockwave from the missed punch split the ground beneath them.
Undeterred, Goten followed up with a knee strike, but Whis released his grip and dodged gracefully.
"Not bad," Whis remarked, his tone light yet approving. Letting go of his staff, he raised his hands in a defensive stance.
Goten charged forward, his fists flying at blinding speed. Their movements were so fast that to onlookers, it seemed as though they had hundreds of arms.
Whis countered with precision, his strikes landing occasionally to disrupt Goten's rhythm. A well-timed blow to Goten's abdomen sent him skidding back.
Gritting his teeth, Goten flared his aura once more and launched himself at Whis. This time, Whis struck first, delivering a powerful blow to Goten's stomach. The force sent him hurtling into a nearby mountain, causing an explosion of debris.
Back on Earth, the immense energy of Super Saiyan Six was palpable. The Z Team, along with every warrior capable of sensing Ki, felt Goten's overwhelming power.
"That energy…" Piccolo murmured, his expression grave.
Even Frieza, aboard his spaceship, felt the overwhelming presence. He clenched his fists, his face contorted with a mix of fear and anger. "A Saiyan stronger than Goku? Impossible!"
