Chapter 433: Full Power Mode
After entering the third stage of Super Saiyan, Goku's speed and strength both surged dramatically. At this moment, he launched a storm-like barrage of attacks toward Uchiha Dali, his ferocity truly awe-inspiring.
In an instant, the air was violently disturbed by the overwhelming power, trembling from the impact.
Even the ground continued to quake.
As Goku's punching speed increased, the air itself let out booming sonic cracks.
Uchiha Dali could indeed feel a trace of pressure—the sensation of a powerful aura crushing against his body.
However, he still faced it with complete composure and indifference, easily dodging all of Goku's attacks.
Before long, he noticed Goku had stopped attacking, gasping heavily, his body drenched in sweat.
The drawback of Super Saiyan Third Stage was now fully exposed.
"Looks like your stamina's running low," Uchiha Dali said with an amused smile.
As soon as his voice fell, he vanished.
The next instant, he appeared behind Goku.
With a casual knife-hand strike, he chopped down at the back of Goku's neck.
In that moment, Goku's entire body trembled; his golden aura vanished completely, and his long golden hair instantly shrank back into his normal black.
Bang!
Just like Vegeta before him, Goku was taken down by a single move from Uchiha Dali and collapsed onto the ground, unable to move.
"Goku!!"
Seeing Goku so easily defeated, Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, and the others watching from the side all turned pale with shock.
Boom!
Summoning strength from deep within, Piccolo erupted with a surge of ki, finally breaking free from the terrifying suppressive pressure holding him down.
He immediately leapt over to check on Goku's condition.
By then, Goku was slowly regaining consciousness, while the previously defeated Vegeta remained deeply unconscious.
"Ugh…"
Goku struggled to get up, clutching the back of his neck. "That hurts…"
"Your power really is incredible," Piccolo said with relief as he saw Goku was fine.
He then looked up at Uchiha Dali, eyes filled with wariness.
"You still have a stronger form you haven't used yet, don't you?" Uchiha Dali asked with a teasing grin.
"Ah… I thought Super Saiyan Three would be enough to handle you, but I didn't expect you to be this strong."
"Thanks, Piccolo. I'm fine now."
Goku stood up quickly, rolling his neck and loosening his muscles.
Meanwhile, Vegeta finally began to stir and slowly regained consciousness.
He silently climbed to his feet, watching the battle from the side. The unease and frustration on his face revealed his inner fear and unwillingness to admit defeat to Uchiha Dali.
"This is a new state I developed after long, intense training," Goku said.
"It allows me to remain perfectly calm while minimizing energy loss."
Boom—!
As he finished speaking, Goku transformed again.
This time, his body showed little change. Aside from the reappearance of the golden aura and his hair turning gold once more, his hair length remained normal, and his muscles didn't swell excessively.
Yet his ki was vastly stronger than before—far surpassing even the first Super Saiyan form.
Seeing this state, Vegeta's expression changed. "Th-this form…!"
"Damn it! That bastard Kakarot's been secretly training again! His power's jumped so much—I've fallen behind!!"
Vegeta's frustration was palpable.
The other Z Fighters were all equally stunned.
Uchiha Dali looked at Goku with curiosity. "So what's the deal with this mode?"
"You'll find out once we fight! Heh heh!" Goku said, charging at him once more.
What none of them realized was that, at this very moment, an even stronger and more terrifying enemy was already on their way to Earth.
Goku once again unleashed a storm of attacks against Uchiha Dali, his power and speed soaring higher than ever.
But even as the battle continued, Uchiha Dali noticed something: Goku's ki remained perfectly stable, not weakening in the slightest.
His speed and strength were both steady and unwavering.
"So this mode is your most perfected transformation yet," Uchiha Dali concluded quickly.
Even as he spoke, his body moved instinctively, continuing to dodge every one of Goku's attacks.
After more than ten minutes of intense exchanges, Goku still hadn't managed to land a single blow.
"You're really amazing!" Goku couldn't help but exclaim.
He then stopped using pure physical attacks and began launching waves of ki blasts at Uchiha Dali.
But Dali continued to dodge them effortlessly.
After another ten minutes of futile effort, Goku finally realized he couldn't win this fight.
His golden aura faded, and he reverted to normal.
"What's wrong?" Uchiha Dali asked curiously.
"Your evasion is too good—I can't even touch you," Goku said, shaking his head.
"I see. So that's why you're giving up?"
"In that case, let's trade punches directly," Uchiha Dali said with a grin.
Hearing that, Goku's fighting spirit reignited. He instantly powered up again, reentering his full power mode.
"Then let's do it!"
"Yeah. Come on."
Uchiha Dali beckoned him with a finger, and Goku charged forward at once.
Bang!
Their fists collided in midair, unleashing a deafening shockwave.
The entire space trembled violently.
"Not bad! You've got quite the strength!"
Feeling the solid impact of their blows, Goku grew even more excited.
"You too," Uchiha Dali replied, suddenly exerting power.
His fist retracted less than a centimeter before an astonishing force erupted, sending Goku flying backward.
Staring at him in disbelief, Goku's face then lit up with exhilaration. "So strong! I'm getting more and more fired up!"
He lunged forward again, unleashing another furious assault at full power.
Uchiha Dali met him blow for blow, their fists slamming into each other again and again.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
After exchanging hundreds of punches, Goku was already breathing heavily, while Uchiha Dali remained calm and steady.
Then he suddenly smiled. "Looks like our fight has caught someone's attention."
His words puzzled everyone present.
But instead of explaining, Uchiha Dali stopped and looked up at the sky.
His Observation Haki had already sensed it—two immensely powerful auras, approaching at speeds countless times faster than light.
They were far, far stronger than Goku, even in his full power mode.
They were beings on an entirely different level.
And in this universe, there weren't many who could possess such terrifying energy.
Following his gaze, everyone else looked up—but saw nothing.
Goku asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
