Now facing each other, Kale and Goku looked at each other. Watching him, Goku seemed surprised to find that Kale was identical to earlier. His hair was still black and yet Goku felt like his strength equaled the power of a Super Saiyan 2.
Not knowing what to think of Kale, he finally asserts.
" You impress me ! I must admit that I didn't think you had so much power in you! Ultimately, if you could control yourself, you could become more powerful than Hit. "
Remaining silent, Kale just smiled sadly at him.
" Hey, Vados! " Called him Champa. " Can you explain to me what's going on? Is it a transformation ? "
" Not really ! In fact, Kale's strength increased exponentially! However, she seems to be unable to control this energy and transform. "
Arms folded, Dr Rota nodded, before suggesting.
" So, she is unstable. "
" Hard to say. " Vados confessed. " So far, she has only attacked enemies! But impossible to know if it makes the difference between friend and foe. "
" Not matter. " Champa affirmed. " If something goes wrong, Hit will be there to calm her down. "
Also looking at Kale, Caulifla and Cabba couldn't help but be surprised to feel so much strength inside her.
" Unbelievable. " Kabba affirmed. " Did you know Kale-san had so much power ? "
Remaining silent, Caulifla just watched Goku try to chat with his protege.
" If I can ask you a question: is this your full power? "
In response, Kale vanished from sight. Feeling his energy just in time behind his back, Goku turned and crossed his arms in extremis in front of his face to protect himself. Feeling a few feet back, Goku then saw Kale fly towards him and start pounding him with powerful punches.
Getting hit first, Goku gradually dodges Kale's attacks, while retreating. At first surprised by her power, Goku quickly noticed that there was no feint in the saiyan's attacks. Kale just tried to punch him in the face without trying to strategize. Even someone much less powerful than she could guess her next attacks quite easily.
"She is strong in combat but seems to have no real experience! She doesn't control her power very well! "
Then creating a ki-blast in his hand, Goku ended up pinning it against Kale's abdomen, causing an explosion. Thrown back, Kale didn't even have time to touch the ground as Goku had teleported behind her and kicked her in the back that threw her into the air. And teleporting again, Goku found himself on top of her and punched her with both fists.
Seeing Kale crash to the ground, Midoriya stood still, unable to move. Kale had insane power, and yet Goku was able to defeat her.
" But how … ? "
" What are you still doing on this ground ? "
Opening her eyes in fear, Midoriya did not dare to turn around. Yet he knew full well who was behind him again. Still with his arms crossed, Jiren had just captured Kale's energy and decided to watch the fight. Having been able to spot Midoriya as well, he was behind him and his aura was yet another reason for Deku's fear.
" You ? "
" You noticed how weak you were compared to us! So why are you staying here? "
" I ... I ...! "
" AHHHHHH ! "
Getting to his feet, Kale screamed in rage and enveloped himself in a green aura. Seeming to increase her energy again, she let her muscles grow slightly. Then she jumped in the air to hit Goku.
Content to remain still, the saiyan then dodged his charge, then each of his punches. Arms folded Goku seemed to be examining Kale rather than actually fighting her.
Kale seemed to be even slower than anything else. She had privileged her strength so much that Goku could see her attacks, even with his eyes closed. Then, disappearing, he reappeared on the field, before reaching out to Kale. Creating a breaking wave, he launched the attack towards his opponent. Barely having time to capture her energy, Kale turned to see only the attack heading towards her and touching her.
Being thrown backwards, Kale did numerous tumbles in the air before landing on the field. Getting up while groaning, she finally hears footsteps. Advancing towards her, Goku asserted.
" You still have a lot to learn! It's a shame! You would have been a worthy adversary if you knew how to control your power. "
" Crieves ! " Kale roared, throwing a breaking wave at him.
Poisoning himself, Goku concentrated all his power in his arm. Then, with a precise and rapid movement, he slapped the attack and sent it to the other end of the field. Seeing his attack being unnecessary, Kale gritted his teeth. However, Goku already found himself in front of her, and began to attack her seriously.
Feeling his fists hit his body, Kale tried to fight back. Nevertheless, Goku was still able to avoid them.
" Perfect ! " Cheers Beerus. " Go Goku, eliminate it. "
" At first, I was afraid that she was too powerful for him but, in fact, Goku can easily beat her. " Krillin asserted.
However, remaining silent, Whis just watched the fight with a bad feeling.
Continuing to get hit, Kale let out a howl of rage again and expelled enough energy around her to knock Goku out. At that moment, the man thought he saw Kale's hair turn green.
However, its new coloring only lasted a few moments. Exhaling at length, Kale seemed to be exhausted. Despite increasing her energy, Goku was still able to outperform her.
" So, is that all ? " Goku questioned him.
Seeing his confident smile on his face, Kale groaned before charging Goku again. For his part, deciding to be serious, Goku transformed. Stopped by his aura, Kale retreated several meters, while Goku becomes a super saiyan 3.
" I think this will be enough to defeat you! KAMEHAME…. "
" RAAAAAAHHHHHH! " Kale yelled, running towards him.
" HAAAAA! "
In an instant, Goku's attack struck his opponent and brought him to a halt. With both arms outstretched, Kale tried to block the powerful attack. However, in a few moments, she felt her feet slide back, toward the void. Clenching her teeth, she made her muscles bigger. But regardless, she couldn't repel the attack.
" It's over ! " Goku asserted.
However, in an instant, Kale was gone and found himself right next to Goku's face.
" That … ? " The warrior wondered.
Kale hit him hard on the cheek. The attack was so powerful that Goku was surprised and stopped his Kamehame. Then he took a step back, as his head turned to the side. Kale's punch had managed to crack his jawbone. Kale immediately began to smile. Yet she also showed surprise, feeling Goku's face turn to her, despite the fact that his punch was still pressed into her cheek.
She had hit him with all her might, and yet the Saiyan smirked.
" Yes that's it ! Continued ! That's why I wanted to participate in this tournament! I want to fight against strong opponents. "
And before Kale could react, Goku's fist hit her abdomen so hard, that she flew back before crashing into a rock that exploded. It then fell to the ground, before being crushed under the rubble.
" KALE! " Champa frightened.
" It's over for her. " Jiren said simply, still with folded arms. " Take a warrior like her, when she can't even control her energy? Pathetic! "
For his part, Deku still stood still and stared at Goku. Staring at where Kale had disappeared the saiyan seemed to be waiting for her to come back and fight him. Fixing his face, Deku looked surprised. Goku felt no fear. Since the beginning of the fight, the saiyan had not been the slightest fear. From the first second, he had only thought of one thing: winning. Fear, anger, despair… he had never experienced this. And that was the big difference between Midoriya and him.
Midoriya always fought always thinking of the consequences of each of her attacks. He felt the fear of losing, the pressure of having to save his world and feeling useless to his team. Goku, on the contrary, had not the slightest fear of fighting his opponents, even if they were stronger than him.
Both were the complete opposite.
'' You don't have your place here either. " Jiren asserted, uncrossing his arms. " Anyway, I would have kicked you off that pitch, at the end of the tournament, if you were still there. "
Deku stood still, his back to him. Jiren looked at him then, and was suddenly surprised to see him bend down to grab a stone. Then, putting his head back, Deku finally tilted his face forward and his forehead hit the stone hard.
Surprised by his gesture, Jiren just stared at him, seeing the boy start to bleed.
However, dropping his stone, Deku then moved into a fighting stance, towards Jiren.
" I refuse that my fear is at the origin of my defeat. "
" Hum? "
" I must win! To win ! And win! If I trust myself, I can win this tournament! From the start, the different powers and might of other warriors had scared me! However, if I am here, it is because I have a force equal to theirs. "
Staring at Jiren with conviction, he cried out.
" I have enough of being thought of as a coward! Jiren, I challenge you. "
" However you want. " Simply stated the warrior of Universe 11.
Immediately, a red aura enveloped Jiren's body.
" ONE FOR ALL! "
Facing each other, the two warriors prepared to run towards each other. Still, an ounce of fear read on Jiren's face.
" JIREN ! " Belmod shouted.
Turning around in time, Jiren stopped a punch. Yet he clenched his teeth at such a powerful blow, as he took a step back.
" What ? "
In front of him, Saitama was staring at him while showing a smile. Seeing Jiren stop his fist without a hitch, he asserted.
" Finally ! I have found my opponent. "
In response, Jiren tried to punch him in the face, but Saitama grabbed his fist in turn. Evenly, the two opponents tried to gain the upper hand over the other, without succeeding. Finally, they tilted their heads forward and gave each other a powerful skull blow. Again, there was a tie.
Feeling their energy, Goku turned back to the trio. Seeing Saitama and Jiren fighting, he cried out.
" Hey! Don't fight without me. "
However, barely had he time to take a step towards them, he froze. Feeling an appalling force behind his back, he then heard an explosion occur, destroying all the rocks in the area.
" SON GOKU ! "
Having risen to his feet, Kale floated in the air, while his body was enveloped in his green aura.
" Kill ! "
His muscles grew again, as Kale gained strength.
" I'm going to kill you. "
Stepping back Goku felt a drop of sweat on his forehead as he saw many green lightning bolts coming out of Kale's body and hitting the pitch, pulverizing the latter.
" I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. "
This time Kale's hair turned green. Then, an intense green light blinded the Saiyan and all the people who had the bad idea to look up.
" He ? " Saitama, Jiren and Midoriya were surprised, looking in the direction of Kale.
Finally, when the light went out, everyone could see Kale. At least she had changed so much that everyone assumed it was her. In place of a little girl with a frail body and dark hair, there was a tall girl with huge muscles and with green hair.
" What is that ? " Wanted to know Kahseral, turning to look at Kale.
Simply smiling, Doflamingo directed his hand to the back of his neck before attacking.
" Waouh, what power. " Tatsumi asserted, as he fought against Law.
" Tsss! " Said his opponent. " I do not like it. "
" Kale ? " Caulifla wondered.
Staying still for a few moments, Kale finally moves. Using his newfound power, Kale created hundreds of green ki-blasts that were hurled down to the terrain, ravaging the terrain.
" He ? " Toriko wondered, turning around.
Seeing several attacks rushing at him, he jumped in time to avoid them, unlike Zebra and Gajeel who were hit, separating them from Toriko. Having created an ice shield in front of her Esdeath looked at Kale, seeming to blush with joy.
" Oh yes ! It's perfect ! Let me see your potential! I'm dying to destroy your body. "
Turning around then, she stared at K'nsi, who was on the ground, with many slashes all over his body. She licked her lips, while her sword was covered in blood.
" And now, what should I do with you ? "
Staring at Esdeath in dread, K'nsi wanted to use his arms to attack him or his legs to flee. Unfortunately, the first thing Esdeath had sliced had been his tendons. He was unable to make the slightest movement and Esdeath had taken the opportunity to torture him.
" Special demon! It is unthinkable that someone like you wins! You don't deserve to live and have the dragon balls. "
" Of course yes. " Esdeath retorted.
Suddenly his sword pierced K'nsi in his liver, making him scream in pain.
" Only powerful beings have the right to survive. "
Then, seeing Kale continue to attack the field, Esdeath ends up grabbing the body of his new toy, before throwing it into the air.
" AHHHHH ! " He shouted.
Then, in an instant, a green ki-blast hit him and the explosion was enough to knock him unconscious, while sinking out of the field.
" Bye Bye ! " Esdeath simply told him.
Having seen his fight, Sidra did not seem proud of his victory.
" I wonder if involving this woman was such a good idea. "
" Is it only now that you realize it ? "
" K'nsi-san is eliminated. "
Finishing the attack, Kale then dropped to the ground. Then, staring at Jiren, Saitama and Midoriya, the saiyan screamed before running towards them.
" Is that a woman ? " Wanted to know Saitama.
" I'm taking care of it. " Jiren assured.
However, being already running towards Kale, Midoriya had concentrated his power in his left arm.
" ONE FOR ALL! "
" AHHHHHHH ! " Kale yelled, clenching her fist.
" 1,000,000% DELAWARE DETROIT SMASH ! "
Just standing still, Saitama and Jiren felt a wave of shock hit them. Yet other than Saitama's cloak, no part of their body moved a millimeter. Fists sticking together, Midoriya and Kale faced each other with all their might.
Staring at Kale, Midoriya felt like her arm was being shattered into pieces, as her feet slid back. Kale was more powerful than him. Still, continuing to struggle, he roared.
" I wouldn't lose! I'm not afraid to face you. "
In response, using her second fist, Kale thrust it into Midoriya's stomach. Feeling like she had just destroyed his stomach, Deku spat blood. Then, just like with Momo, his body was thrown backwards before finding itself above the void.
" MIDORIYA ! " Agu, Momo and Kendo frightened.
Not even being able to understand what happened, the boy suddenly heard two voices screaming.
" Fool ! "
A slide-like ice ramp formed above the void and Midoriya fell on the icy substance.
" I got it. " Shoto assured.
Immediately, Midoriya's body slid down towards the field and fell at the boy's feet.
" What … ? " He wondered.
'' What have you made, Deku? " Bakugo roared.
" Attacking this woman was the worst idea you ever had. " Shoto asserted.
Seeing his two teammates next to him, Midoriya remained silent. Nonetheless, clenching his fist, he asserted.
" I will exceed my limit. "
" He ? "
" From now on, I know my limit. " Said the boy. " And before the end of the tournament, I promise I will surpass her. "
" What are you talking about ? "
" Hey you ! "
Turning around, the trio saw Tupper, Kettol and Zoire advancing towards them.
" We have not finished our fight. "
" You again. " Bakugo roared.
" Waouh! She made the boy fly. " Saitama asserted, with a jaded look.
Screaming again, Kale now ran towards the bald man.
" Hum? " He wondered. " You want to fight ? "
Nonetheless, standing in front of him, Jiren created a ki-blast which he threw at Kale. Finding himself hit by the attack, Kale then felt himself lifted into the air. Then the attack exploded.
" It's over for you. " Jiren asserted.
However, seeing Kale's body fall, he ends up seeing Caulifla and Kabba appear to grab their friend's body. Seeing them do, Jiren was about to attack them too, when Saitama stepped in front of him.
" Hey! I am your opponent! "
" Hum? "
" Hey, guys! "
Dropping down right next to them, Goku asserted.
. "You two, you seem to me to be extremely strong. "
At that moment, crossing his arms Jiren, only created a red aura around him. Saitama simply raised his right fist, while displaying a serious face. And Goku transformed into a super saiyan.
Immediately, all the gods of each universe began to stare at the trio, certain that the winner of the tournament was going to be the winner of this three-way fight.
