Episode 299: This Is the Power of the Saiyans! HOLY SH*T, I'M COMPLETELY FIRED UP!!!
〜Dragon Ball World〜
Bulma's House—
Vegeta stared at the screen, watching Goku with astonishment.
He was Son Goku's old rival and his closest comrade; no one understood Goku's situation better than he did!
At this very moment…
Although the Kakarot he saw was no longer a Super Saiyan God, the power of the Super Saiyan God still lingered within him. This wasn't some strange anomaly; it seemed as if Goku's body had grown accustomed to that power. Coupled with his mental state, which remained at that same elevated realm, it had pushed him into a state akin to a Super Saiyan God!
Vegeta wondered to himself, if it were him, could he also reach such a state?
He pondered for a moment and arrived at the answer: impossible.
He knew this was something he couldn't achieve; only Kakarot could do it!
It was that stubborn pride Kakarot possessed in battle that pushed him to his current realm, something he simply couldn't replicate!
"Wow! I'm really amazing!"
Son Goku scratched his head, flashing his signature, simple-minded grin.
Thinking about how Goku might surpass him even further in the future, Vegeta felt a wave of irritation, and naturally, he couldn't bring himself to give Goku a pleasant look.
"Hey? Vegeta, what's wrong with you? Vegeta, why aren't you saying anything? How do you think I got this power? We could train together, and maybe by then, we could challenge Beerus directly!"
"Vegeta, say something!"
Vegeta: "Shut up!"
—
『 Goku's sudden attack caught Beerus off guard, but a God of Destruction is a God of Destruction; his reaction speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and he quickly regained his composure. Compared to Goku, this speed was as effortless as an adult easily outpacing a child.
But it didn't end there. Before Beerus could counterattack, Goku vanished once more, and the next second, he delivered a kick, heading straight for Beerus!
"Oh?"
Beerus looked surprised, his figure flickering to dodge the blow. He instantly teleported above the sinkhole, and energy spheres began to form rapidly in his hands, hurling them at Goku one after another!
"Want to play a long-range game, huh?"
Facing such dense attacks, Son Goku couldn't rely on Instant Transmission to dodge every time; he could only weave left and right.
Although the energy Beerus was emitting wasn't at full power—considering he didn't want to destroy the Earth along with his opponent—if he truly went all out, it was estimated that not only would Goku be unable to handle it, but the Earth would likely suffer as well.
Therefore, he deliberately controlled his power, but this also made the attack speed incredibly fast. It looked as if his hands had become rapid-fire machine guns, releasing a massive amount of ammunition in the blink of an eye!
"This is a battle, not a fitness class," he reminded with a cold smirk.
Son Goku kept moving his body to avoid the attacks, his eyes becoming increasingly determined!
Just at this tense moment, he noticed a flaw!
He lightly pressed his fingers to his forehead, and his entire body instantly vanished from sight.
Even in such an intense confrontation, capturing this tiny instant was extremely difficult, yet Son Goku had managed to do it!
Goku disappeared without a sound, and Beerus, who was preparing to launch a new round of attacks, didn't notice for a moment.
"Oh no!"
By the time Beerus realized something was wrong, it was already a step too late.
A dark shadow flashed by, followed immediately by a heavy punch that landed squarely on him, delivering a solid, direct hit to Beerus.
This enraged Beerus.
He immediately ascended into the sky, and countless energy orbs scattered and flew out. Although they seemed to have no discernible pattern, their scale and power were several times greater than before!
Deep underground, a rumbling sound echoed, vibrating like an earthquake.
The people struggling to watch the scene below were terrified, worried that if this continued, the Earth might be finished!
Son Goku continued to dodge everywhere, trying his best to avoid the shockwaves of the explosions, but he was still struck by countless small stones raining down from the sky. Eventually, these fragments piled up densely, covering his entire body and almost sealing him in!
Clearly, this situation had severely restricted Son Goku's freedom of movement. 』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "This battle is so thrilling!" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Goku is actually able to fight Beerus like this. What kind of state is he in right now? It's just too strong!" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Didn't that god state already wear off?" ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "You could say that Son Goku is using his Instant Transmission skill to run circles around Beerus!" ]
[ Rimuru Tempest (Tensura): "But Beerus looks furious right now. I even feel like he might not be able to beat Son Goku~" ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Now that Goku's movements are restricted, if he can successfully dodge the attack this time, it's really hard to predict who will win and who will lose!" ]
[ .....]
Just as everyone in the chatroom was still having a heated discussion.
『 On the screen, Son Goku suddenly closed his eyes and said calmly, "Don't treat destruction like child's play!"
The next moment.
The background music kicked in!
Amidst the impassioned music, Son Goku slowly opened his eyes, and as they opened, even his eyebrows turned gold!
Then, Son Goku's yellow hair appeared, and the aura around his body exploded instantly, shattering all the stones surrounding him.
As the restraints were broken, a dazzling, brilliant golden light flickered continuously!
Super Saiyan Son Goku returns to the stage!
This Super Saiyan state!
Even in his normal form, he was stronger than an average Super Saiyan!
To what extent would Son Goku's strength increase now?
As the intense music swelled, everyone's passion seemed to be ignited!
Son Goku let out a roar!!
"Ah!"
At this very moment, Son Goku's state had reached its peak!
But he didn't want to fight Beerus here; the underground was too dangerous and restricted his movement!
He shot toward the sky like a meteor.
Beerus followed closely behind; neither the debris nor the rocks could stop Son Goku's speed. He was like an arrow released from a bow!
Beerus trailed right behind him, one yellow and one white streak of light flying from the underground into the sky. In an instant, they clashed dozens of times, waves of energy spreading out that left the people below staring in stunned silence.
Piccolo looked at Son Goku at this moment and exclaimed, "He is no longer a Super Saiyan God, but an ordinary Super Saiyan!"
"But, this feeling!"
"He seems to have become even stronger!"
Master Roshi: "This… what is going on?"
He had lived for so long and never imagined that one day he would teach such a powerful disciple; this completely exceeded his imagination!
Although Son Goku's growth had refreshed his understanding time and time again!
From the World Martial Arts Tournament!
King Piccolo!
Vegeta!
Frieza!
....
All the way to the recent Buu!
Goku's power had been progressing rapidly!
Sometimes, Master Roshi couldn't help but wonder: did Goku's power have any boundaries?
In the past, his strength could be explained by his status as a Super Saiyan. Still, now, Goku had reached a level that was incomprehensible and unimaginable to everyone through his own merit!
As his earliest master, Master Roshi's eyes were filled with great pride.
Besides Master Roshi, everyone else noticed the changes happening to Goku.
He was no longer the so-called Super Saiyan God.
But what did that matter?
Goku was still able to fight Beerus, and he wasn't falling behind!
This was the true demeanor of a powerhouse!
In the past, when Vegeta saw such a scene, his eyes were always filled with unwillingness and anger, hating himself for being surpassed by Goku again.
But now, his eyes held only envy and trust, because he believed that he would also reach this height one day; it was just a matter of time!
"Whoa!"
Beerus also stopped acting like a God of Destruction; now, he was more like a battle maniac!
The fighting spirit in his eyes was like a burning flame.
With a roar, he charged toward Son Goku!
The two tangled together, every punch aiming for a vital point, their surrounding auras canceling each other out!
While fighting, the two continued to ascend.
The surrounding clouds were punched through, creating a massive hole!
This scene…
It was truly astonishing! 』
『 .....』
〜One Piece World〜
"Cool!"
"This is so cool!"
"Whether it's Son Goku or Beerus!"
Luffy was incredibly excited, twisting his body non-stop, as if he were about to rush in and have a big fight himself!
Zoro wore a smile on his face.
Such an excited smile hadn't appeared in a long time. After all, with a live wire like Luffy around, he needed to be the steady man to keep things under control. But don't forget, he was also a martial arts fanatic, a madman obsessed with swordsmanship!
"Is this the true level of Beerus and Son Goku?"
"Heavens, why did you let me see this scene!"
"Even though I know I'll never reach that realm in my life, a seed has been planted in my heart, a longing to be like Son Goku, to constantly improve my own strength!"
Zoro gently stroked the sword in his hand, as if feeling the call of an old friend.

〜Naruto World〜
Konoha, Hokage Office—
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the battle on the screen, his face filled with excitement.
What a straightforward world this was!
Everyone was just single-mindedly trying to become stronger!
This was the goal a ninja should pursue!
But now, ninjas were just pawns in a game of power, a means of trade between nations. This was completely wrong, so very wrong!
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not understand the First Hokage's ideals?
But in an era full of strife, that wish was simply a fantasy. Not only was he powerless to stop this trend, but he even had to join this game, making ninjas who were originally focused on cultivating power no longer pure!
"Sigh..."
He let out a deep sigh.
This scene seemed to pull him back to his youth, when he had just become a ninja and had an infinite desire for strength, just like Naruto and his companions, who had just stepped onto the battlefield now.
Akatsuki Hideout—
Shocked beyond measure!
Although they weren't truly going all out, which one of these Akatsuki members wasn't a top-tier expert?Who didn't understand the intense clash on the screen? They were merely controlling their own power to prevent it from leaking out, ensuring they didn't cause too much destruction.
In reality, the power generated by every clash between these two was equivalent to the power of some high-level ninjutsu!
Hidan: "Is this for real?! I hope my Lord Jashin can become as powerful as Beerus!"
Kakuzu: "That Jashin of yours is far worse than them. Maybe you didn't hear the introduction clearly; Buu is the god of that world!"
Hidan: "Speechless…"
Uchiha Itachi used his Sharingan, attempting to dissect their moves, but even so, he still couldn't see their movements clearly.
The speed of these two had exceeded the limits of his cognitive range. Apart from space-time techniques, it was almost impossible for anyone in the entire ninja world to surpass them in speed; even Guy in the Eight Gates mode was no exception.
Nagato and Konan looked at each other, reading deep fear in each other's eyes!
This was simply too terrifying!
The Rinnegan probably wouldn't be of much use in a situation like this, right?
On the other side—
"Oh my!"
Naruto had been too excited before, and his expression was still tight.
Every time the two clashed, he couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Haruno Sakura couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw him like this.
"Naruto, can you close your mouth for a while?"
Hearing this, Naruto realized he hadn't closed his mouth yet. He gently patted his chin, and his mouth finally closed obediently for the first time since Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan!
Sasuke could only shake his head and smile.
There was really no helping this Naruto; he had no composure!
But then again, Sasuke's own eyes were flashing with undisguised excitement; compared to Naruto, he was just slightly more rational!
Kakashi didn't have time to worry about these three noisy students; he had put all his focus on the battle in front of him. The scene was simply too shocking!
"SUGOI!!!"
—
『 The figures of the two were incredibly free and unrestrained.
One moment, the two were fighting above the clouds, and the next, the shockwave had dispersed the entire cloud layer.
Yells came from Goku's side, but his body had already flashed to a location dozens of kilometers away. Such scenes were simply too common for them!
Beerus also released his aura.
Unlike Goku's yellow aura, Beerus released a purple one, but it felt relatively calm. This indicated that Beerus hadn't truly gotten serious yet!
The people below originally wanted to follow along and watch the two fight!
As a result, Master Roshi rubbed his eyes and asked Krillin behind him: "Krillin, did you see that?"
Krillin shook his head. He had tried very hard to keep up with their speed, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see the ripples left by the battle in the sky; he couldn't see their figures at all.
He said helplessly, "I can't see them at all!"
Piccolo was also shocked; even his perception couldn't accurately capture the positions of the two.
They were simply too strong!
Truly too strong! 』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Tartaglia (Genshin Impact): "Is this the full-power battle between the two?" ]
[ Arataki Itto (Genshin Impact): "This has directly gotten me fired up!" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "FIRED UP!!" ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "Onee-chan, you can't say that~" ]
[ Eriri Spencer Sawamura (Saekano): "If Goku can win Beerus's favor, then isn't Earth safe?" ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "Now that you mention it, that seems to be true~" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "….." ]

『 The scene appeared in outer space.
This blue and white planet was mostly covered by clouds; its volume was incredibly vast, and one could see the different layers of the atmosphere, with a blue radiance flickering on the periphery!
However.
This scene wasn't meant for admiring the scenery.
In fact, in this area, a fierce battle was unfolding. The center of the battle erupted with dazzling light from time to time, which could be seen clearly even in space!
The figures of Goku and Beerus gradually came into everyone's view. Every time Son Goku launched an attack, it was skillfully neutralized by Beerus.
At this moment, the aura Beerus emitted was stronger than before, but Son Goku wasn't falling behind either.
After several attacks failed to take effect, his offensive became even more swift and fierce, and the more he fought, the more spirited he became!
Son Goku shouted: "Since you've shown me the power of a god, I naturally won't be willing to show weakness!"
"I am determined to be the strongest existence in this world!"
It might sound a bit arrogant, but he truly had such potential!
No one present thought he was just boasting anymore.
On the contrary, everyone firmly believed that one day in the future, he would achieve such an accomplishment.
Not only did the bystanders from various worlds think so, but even Beerus thought so.
A smile appeared on Beerus's face, as if to indicate that he had encountered the challenger he had been looking forward to for so long.
After a long, boring time, he could finally fight to his heart's content!
One of his punches hit Son Goku, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, yet in the blink of an eye, Son Goku rushed back in front of him again, just as he had said before—he was going to show him what he was made of!
"Bring it on, no need to hesitate!"
Son Goku's fighting style wasn't chaotic or disorganized.
In the next instant, several images of Son Goku seemed to appear in the surroundings. This was a visual illusion caused by high-speed movement.
Although it looked like some kind of shadow clone technique, it was actually completely different. 』
