Yamoshi growled as he pushed forward with all his might, his hands emitting a powerful green Ki to counter Goten's Kamehameha. The two immense energy waves collided in the air, their sheer force shaking the earth below. Sparks of blue and green energy crackled violently, forming a brilliant light show in the sky as the two Saiyans struggled for dominance.
The clash created a stalemate, the energies pressing against each other with equal ferocity. For a moment, it seemed neither would give in. But Goten, summoning a surge of strength, roared loudly and poured more power into his Kamehameha. The wave pushed forward, overwhelming Yamoshi's energy.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the Kamehameha detonated in the sky, creating a massive blue storm that spread in all directions. The shockwave raised clouds of dust and debris, obscuring the battlefield. Krillin and the others shielded their eyes from the blinding light and powerful winds.
As the thick smoke dissipated, Yamoshi became visible again, floating in the air. His chest heaved as he gasped for breath, his once-pristine appearance now battered and disheveled. Despite his obvious exhaustion, a wide grin spread across his face.
"Interesting," Yamoshi said, his voice tinged with excitement. "Truly interesting. I never thought I'd meet a Saiyan as strong as me in this world."
His words startled Krillin, who stared at him in disbelief. "He's laughing?!"
"Yes," Gohan replied, his tone somber. "It's because Goten is incredibly strong. Yamoshi has probably never faced a challenge like this before."
Goku, standing nearby, nodded. "Exactly. Yamoshi was likely the strongest in his time, and being unmatched for so long must have been lonely. He's been searching for someone who can fight on his level. Goten might be that opponent."
Krillin's eyes widened. "But he hasn't even shown his true strength yet?"
"No," Goku said simply, his gaze fixed on the two combatants.
Yamoshi leaned forward slightly, his grin fading as his focus sharpened. Clenching his fists tightly, he let out a powerful roar. "Ahhh!!!"
An overwhelming surge of Ki erupted from Yamoshi's body, its sheer force causing natural disasters across the planet. Earthquakes shook the ground, tsunamis rose along distant shores, and volcanoes erupted in violent bursts of molten lava. The sky around Yamoshi darkened, creating an ominous atmosphere that filled even the bravest hearts with dread.
"Is this guy… a monster?" Krillin whispered, his entire body trembling from the weight of Yamoshi's energy.
Goku shook his head. "No, Krillin. If Yamoshi is a monster, then what does that make Goten? Don't forget, Goten is still holding back."
Krillin swallowed hard. "I guess you're right. I just… I'm worried about Goten."
"Don't be," Goku said reassuringly. "Goten is much stronger than we think. He'll be fine."
Yamoshi's transformation reached its peak. The hair on his head grew down to his waist, his eyebrows disappeared, and his brow bones became more pronounced, creating an almost primal look. His pupils turned an intense green, and his aura solidified into a luminous emerald flame.
"This is… Super Saiyan 3," Krillin muttered in awe, his voice barely above a whisper.
Goku nodded. "Yes, but it's unlike any Super Saiyan 3 we've seen before. Yamoshi's power is on an entirely different level."
With a deafening bang, Yamoshi unleashed his energy, sending shockwaves rippling across the landscape. The ground beneath him cracked and shattered, unable to withstand the intensity of his power.
Not one to be outdone, Goten stepped forward. Clenching his fists, he roared with all his might, his own energy surging upward in response. His golden aura flared brighter and brighter, and his body began to change.
With a flash of light, the hair on Goten's body disappeared, replaced by long, flowing white hair that extended to his waist. The upper half of his hair turned white, while the lower half transitioned into a soft pink hue. His pupils glowed pink, and two red slanted markings appeared on his forehead. Lightning crackled around him as his golden aura surged with streaks of electricity.
This was Super Saiyan Seven.
Yamoshi's eyes widened slightly at the sight of Goten's transformation. Then, to everyone's surprise, he laughed.
"Goten," Yamoshi said, his voice filled with admiration, "is this your strongest transformation?"
"Yes," Goten replied simply, though he knew it wasn't the entire truth. He still had the ability to ascend to Super Saiyan Eight, but he held back, knowing that the Great Goddess and others might be watching. It was better to keep his full strength hidden for now.
Yamoshi nodded, his smile widening. Without another word, he lunged at Goten, his movements faster than the eye could follow.
In the King of the Gods Realm, the Old Kai watched the battle with growing concern. "This is bad," he muttered, his voice trembling. "Both of them are fighting with power far beyond that of a God of Destruction. If this continues, Universe 7 might be in serious danger."
Back on Earth, the fight between Goten and Yamoshi reached unimaginable speeds. The two moved so quickly that even Goku and the others couldn't track them with their eyes.
"So fast," Krillin said, squinting as he tried to follow the fight. "Goku, can you see them?"
"Not clearly," Goku admitted. "At this level, it's all about instincts. When I fought Yamoshi, I relied entirely on my body's ability to sense his movements."
"But Yamoshi doesn't know Ultra Instinct," Krillin pointed out. "How can he keep up with Goten?"
"In battle, Saiyans use more than their eyes," Goku explained. "Our ears and bodies can also perceive the flow of energy and movement around us."
"I see," Krillin said, nodding slowly.
High above the battlefield, Goten and Yamoshi clashed with incredible force, their hands locked as they pushed against each other. Invisible ripples of energy radiated outward from their struggle, spreading across the universe.
"Ahhh!!!" Yamoshi roared, pushing forward with all his might and forcing Goten back several steps. Both fighters gasped for breath, their bodies showing signs of the intense strain.
After a brief moment of respite, Yamoshi charged again, throwing a powerful punch at Goten. Goten blocked the attack with his arms, sliding back slightly from the force. Before he could recover, Yamoshi vanished and reappeared behind him.
Goten sensed the danger and spun around just in time to dodge Yamoshi's next attack. The two continued their high-speed battle, exchanging blows with precision and power.
At one point, Goten delivered a devastating kick to Yamoshi's chest, sending him crashing into the ground with a loud bang. Dust rose from the impact, obscuring Yamoshi's form.
Goten hovered in the air, scanning the battlefield. Suddenly, Yamoshi appeared behind him, striking with a well-placed kick to his back. Goten cried out in surprise as he was sent flying.
Quickly regaining control, Goten vanished, reappearing a moment later to counter Yamoshi's next attack.
