DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

Goku stomped his feet on the ground, digging in as he slowed his movement, steadying himself against Jiren's relentless force. Not far away, Jiren matched his stance, his eyes narrowing as he prepared for his next move. With a fierce expression, he lunged forward, aiming a powerful kick with his right foot.

Goku ducked swiftly, dodging the flying kick by mere inches. Capitalizing on his evasive move, he spun around to position himself behind Jiren, charging forward without hesitation. Just as Jiren's feet touched the ground, he sensed Goku's approach and spun to face him. The two warriors locked eyes for a fleeting moment.

"Ha!" Goku let out a powerful yell, launching a series of punches and kicks with blinding speed, each strike as fast as a flash of lightning.

"Whoosh… BAM! BAM! BAM!"

Jiren braced himself, blocking Goku's assault while being forced backward under the Saiyan's fierce onslaught. Toppo, watching from the sidelines, was visibly shaken. "Jiren!" he exclaimed, astonished to see his comrade on the defensive.

But Jiren was far from finished. In an instant, he vanished, appearing above Goku as if he'd teleported. Goku, sensing the shift, immediately propelled himself upwards, meeting Jiren's gaze once more in the sky. Without missing a beat, he swung his right fist forward. Jiren dodged nimbly to the side and retaliated with his own punch, fists clashing in an explosive exchange.

"Boom! Boom! BOOM!!"

The sky seemed to tremble as they moved at an astonishing speed, their rapid blows creating powerful shockwaves that rippled outward like waves in a stormy sea. From a distance, it looked as if ripples of energy were slicing through the sky, marking the intensity of their battle.

"BANG!"

After exchanging a flurry of punches, Jiren's right fist struck Goku squarely in the face, sending him hurtling downward. Goku's body plummeted toward a massive lake, crashing into the water with enough force to create towering waves. As the lake's surface roiled, Jiren gathered fiery red energy in his right hand, his focus unwavering. Sensing Goku's energy below, he unleashed the energy blast into the lake.

Goku, submerged and with his lungs full of water, looked up to see the wave of energy descending. Reacting quickly, he threw his hands forward, redirecting the blast. The energy shot out of the lake, erupting in a spectacular explosion that illuminated the sky.

Unfazed, Jiren snorted, his expression cold. He raised both hands and fired a rapid barrage of energy blasts, each streaking toward the lake like meteors. The water churned violently as the blasts rained down, and Goku, seeing the danger, activated Instant Transmission, reappearing behind Jiren in a burst of energy.

Sensing Goku's presence, Jiren stopped his attack, spinning around to deliver a powerful punch. Goku threw his arms up to shield himself, but the force sent him reeling. They continued to clash, each hit reverberating like thunder across the battlefield.

In a sudden move, Jiren aimed another energy wave at the lake, detonating it in a brilliant explosion that sent geysers of water cascading down on both fighters. The two paused, drenched and breathing heavily, sizing each other up with renewed determination.

"Huff… huff…" Goku took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening as he prepared for what was to come. A white light glowed faintly from his hair, and his pupils turned a shimmering silver. In an instant, his hair changed to the familiar silver hue of Ultra Instinct—a true symbol of his mastery over his limits.

Seeing Goku's transformation, Jiren's eyes narrowed slightly. Though Goten had proved stronger in the past, Goku's power was undeniable. Jiren clenched his fists, a faint smirk forming as he recalled the Tournament of Power. If it weren't for Goten pushing me back then… he mused. But he quickly dismissed the thought. He couldn't afford any distraction now; Goku was a worthy rival in his own right.

Just then, Goku's figure blurred as he transformed into a streak of white light, surging forward with incredible speed. Jiren responded in kind, propelling himself with clenched fists. Their movements became a blur of power, each punch and block blending into a rapid dance of energy.

"Whoosh… BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Within seconds, they were face-to-face, exchanging punches with astonishing precision. To an observer, it appeared as if both fighters had dozens of fists, each strike blurring into the next. The air crackled with energy as powerful gusts of wind exploded from their fists, shaking the ground beneath them.

"Bang!" Their right fists collided in a single, devastating punch, causing them both to stagger back, momentarily stunned.

Goku recovered first, rushing forward in another blur of white light. His fists struck out, each one a forceful flash of energy aimed straight at Jiren. Jiren reacted with lightning reflexes, catching Goku's fists in his hands, their grips locked in a test of strength.

Goku gritted his teeth, pushing forward with all his might. Jiren felt the force and pushed back, their strength tearing into the ground below, forming a deep crater that spread around them. They glared at each other, both refusing to back down.

"Ah!" Goku shouted, channeling all his energy into a final push. Jiren took a few steps back, but then he roared, his strength flaring as he pushed Goku back against the crater's wall.

Breathing heavily, the two stared each other down, the intensity of the fight reflected in their determined gazes. Then, Goku's lips curled into a faint smile. Despite the exhaustion, he was thrilled. The stronger his opponent, the more exhilarated he felt.

Jiren ignored the grin on Goku's face, focusing on his own breath. When his breathing steadied, he clenched his fists once more and lunged forward. Goku leaped into the air, rising out of the pit with a swift kick off the ground. Jiren followed, flying up and unleashing a storm of energy blasts from his hands, each one crackling with power.

Goku twisted and dodged through the barrage, returning fire with his own energy waves. The sky erupted with explosions, smoke, and flames, the battlefield lit by the chaotic dance of their colliding attacks. In the thick of the smoke, Jiren closed in, swinging his right fist in a powerful arc.

Caught off guard, Goku raised his arms to defend but was sent flying back by Jiren's punch. As he recovered, he looked up to see Jiren hovering above, a massive, fiery orange-red energy orb forming between his hands.

"Colosal Slash"

Jiren hurled the fireball down toward Goku with a fierce shout, the orb blazing as it descended. In response, Goku steadied himself, pulling his hands back and gathering a deep blue energy wave.

"Kamehameha!" he cried, thrusting his hands forward. The wave of energy shot out, meeting the fiery orb in a dazzling collision of power.

"BANG!"

The Kamehameha clashed with Jiren's energy orb, sparks and lightning crackling at the point of impact. The energy sphere pushed downwards, but Goku gritted his teeth, pouring more power into his Kamehameha to counter it.

In that moment, Jiren's mind flashed back to his battle with Goten. He remembered that same technique coming at him, testing his strength. But this time, he steeled himself. This isn't Goten. I won't lose this time!

With a determined shout, Jiren pressed down with both hands, intensifying his energy. Goku, feeling the strain, gritted his teeth even harder, every muscle tensed as he pushed upward, determined to hold his ground.
