Chapter 84: Tatsuya's 4th Ultra Instinct Awakening!!


"Watch out, Oren! Stay on your guard!" Kamin said. "This is the transformation he used against El Hermano!".

"Right, Sis!" Oren replied.

They dashed towards me and we began to exchange blows. We exchanged blows until the Twins jumped back and began shooting a barrage of Ki Blasts at me. I dodged them all instinctively before I dashed towards them with blinding speed. I sent Oren flying into three cliffs with a punch, and then I sent Kamin flying into three cliffs with just a simple Ki blast. They both got up and held each others hands as they then fused together into a merged warrior.

"We merged. Surprised?" The Fusion Warrior said. "So, since we're Kamin and Oren, you can call us Kamioren!".

They attempt to attack me again and although they miss, I countered their attack by pushing them back with a retaliatory kick.

"Nor as much impact as before." Kamioren said.

We dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows. We exchanged blows until I pushed Kamioren back with a kick and ki blast. I jumped back onto a cliff as I felt a new control over the form and, began to freely exert my energy tremendously.

"You need to face the facts, Kamioren. You cannot stop me now." I said calmly.

"I'll be the judge of that!" It said.

Snow chuckles as he sees Tatsuya's Ultra Instinct -Sign- Form again.

"That's right, Tatsuya, keep getting stronger. Be your best ape." Snow comments.

"This is quite a sight. Once more, that Saiyan is venturing into the domain of the gods." One of the Supreme Kai's said. "I wonder, how will the mighty El Hermano respond?".

"Tatsuya's giving off some incredible heat!" Akihiko said. "And look at his eyes. It's that same focused glimmer he had against El Hermano!".

"It's Ultra Instinct, all right." Beerus commented.

"He couldn't have achieved this without another catalyst." Whis said. "This time it must have been Kamioren."

"You mean it was her enormous energy?" Beerus questioned.

"Yeah, it was just when Tatsuya awakened his Ultra Instinct -Sign- the second time. He was fighting off against a No-Name and it was its enormous energy that triggered it." Dad said. "Both that No-Name and Kamioren's energy are roughly equivalent to the sheer force of the Spirit Bomb's explosion. Spurred by their great power, Tatsuya has defied the odds, and his own limits, once again."

"It's magnificent! If he's truly done it, and rekindled his Autonomous Ultra Instinct, he'll stop them, for sure!" Kaio-Shin said in excitement.

"The tide of this battle is turning yet again sir." Vados said to Champa.

"Hurry, Kamioren! You've got to smack him out of the ring now, before he fully masters Ultra Instinct!" Champa cried out.

"Hell, yeah! You really are cookin' now, Tatsuya!" Kamioren said excitedly. "I can feel the heat your body's churning out all the way from down here!"

"Is that your automatic instinct reflex thing or whatever?" It asked.

"It's called Autonomous Ultra Instinct." I said.

"Yeah, yeah. Well, I gotta give you props. It sure is one hell of a look but on the other hand..." It said before he jumped back onto a cliff and began to power up tremendously as it shouted out; "I won't be outdone by anyone! I'll just have to up my own game too!".

Both of our enormous powers began to create a tempest all around the ring. Drake and Gochi wakes up after being unconscious and was about to flown away until Drake catches Gochi's right hand and brought her down next to him behind a large boulder.

"Now they're making an actual tempest in the ring." Gochi commented. "Those powerhouses have never been much for subtlety."

"They're practically made for each other, there's no mistake." Drake said.

"No matter how high you climb, Tatsuya, I will always catch up and leave you in the dust!" Kamioren said to me in confidence.

"Uh! Well, there goes more of the ring!" Akihiko said.

"And think of the damage if those two collide head-on. There probably won't be a ring left..." Dad said in a serious tone, paying close attention to our fight.

Luck and Tsuki looks up to where he senses a large amount of Ki.

"What's happening up there?" Luck questioned out loud. "Is that... Tatsuya and Kamioren?"

"We're looking at two titans now. When one of them transcends to a new level, it prompts the other to do the same. On and on!" Tsuki said, calm and collected.

"You're saying that because of Tatsuya, the power of their fusion is even greater than it was before?" Luck questioned.

"That's right. I can feel Kamioren's energy getting bigger with every minute now. They're in a completely different league now." Tsuki said.

"Come on, Tatsuya..." Luck said in worry.

"Ha ha ha! This is amazing! I can feel so much power flowing through me!" Kamioren said excitedly. "I bet if I keep going and actually let loose, I could rip your whole universe apart with a simple blast!"

Tsuki becomes stunned. "Just feel their energy. They may have even surpassed Tatsuya's strength when he got to that form for the third time."

"Stronger than Tatsuya, you sure?" Luck asked.

"Who knows, they've been amping him up, too." Tsuki said. "He's still reaching deeper into this form's potential."

I stopped powering up and took a battle stance, waiting for Kamioren to make a move.

"Done already? Sure you don't wanna try charging up more?" They asked me.

"I'm good. I think this is all the power I need." I said calmly.

"Heh, heh. You think so?" They replied. "All right. You're gonna be sorry when I blow you away!".

Kamioren dashed towards me with an attack to strike me with, only for me to easily dodge. I then easily dodges all of Kamioren's attacks from behind, along with every other direction.

"He's dodging everything!" Akihiko said in surprise.

"Tatsuya's barely moving from his spot-- his precisions unbelievable." Kin said who began to watch the fight on top of a cliff.

"If he can anticipate Kamioren's every attack like this, their enormous power won't matter!" Kaio-Shin said excitedly.

"Step it up, Kamioren!" Champa shouted out.

"They have attained a level of strength and speed few in the multiverse have ever known." Vados began to say. "But against Tatsuya's reactions, it seems they will still fall short."

Kaio-Fuwa stands up and shouts out in aggressive and determined demeanour; "Bwah! Kamioren! Smash that stinkin' punk to pieces!".

"Uh, Champa? Is something wrong with your Kai?" Beerus asked in surprise of Kaio-Fuwa's actions.

"That's just his angry side. He usually represses it in public." Champa answered.

I continue to dodge Kamioren's every attack as Kamioren shouted at me; "You tryin' to make a fool out of me?!".

While I'm continuing to dodge Kamioren's attacks, Hikaru, who is watching the fight, pays a close attention to my movements.

"Tatsuya's movements-- He's reading them like a book. It's almost like his body is reacting on its own." Hikaru thought.

Hikaru remembers what my dad told me and him during training: "to learn how to have each of their body parts react on its own as their speed is severely limited when they think before they act."

"I still can't believe this is what Tatsuya's Dad and my Dad was talking about when they body is moving on its own... So this is Ultra Instinct..." Hikaru mumbled.

Kamioren summons a small group of small red Ki blasts above him with his right forearm sticking up into the air before they then throw them down at me. I dodged them all instinctively before I jumped off the mountain backwards. Kamioren cannot land a single hit on me, I casually glides on the side of a mountain while eyeing a pursuing Kamioren upside down, and I managed to knock them away with an Invisible Eye Blast.

"He got them!" Akihiko said happily.

"It's over now!" Kin said, smirking.

Kamioren stops itself as it lands safely on top of a small mountain as I landed safely on the ground.

"You didn't really think that punch would hurt me, did ya?" It asked in confidence. "You may have some awesome reflexes, but your attacks when you're like this are just pathetic! Come on, Tatsuya. Don't disappoint me now! You can do better, can't ya?".

"Yeah. I'm starting to get a handle on it. I can do much better." I said. "Behold the power of Ultra Instinct."

El Hermano senses my power and awakens from his meditation, reuniting with Top, Dynamic, and Dyspo.

"Something the matter, El Hermano?" Top asked him.

"You concerned about this Guy?" Dypso asked.

"Look there. El Hermano's back on his feet again. I suppose Tatsuya has enticed him." One of the Supreme Kai's said. "He's become far too mighty to ignore. And his contest with the merged one is certainly fascinating. All eyes are on them now."

"Heh! It does look like you've turned it up another notch, but you still haven't shown me you can use this upgrade to pack a decent punch." Kamioren said.

I immediately charged behind them and knocked them away with a barrage of fast punches before I kicked them away.

Kamioren struggles to get back up. "There's no way."

I immediately dashed towards them as they noticed me. I threw a punch at them and they blocked it with their right arm.

"What's the matter, Kamioren? Is that all you've got for me?" I asked them, taunting them to make another move.

I dodged Kamioren's attack and I ax-kicked them away, further knocking them back as I deliver a powerful punch that launches a massive shockwave from the vibrations of my fist. The shockwave is capable of crossing great distances upon execution. That attack sent them flying into a mountain.

"I call that one; my Soaring Fist Technique!" I said calmly and confidently.

Kamioren got back up and powers up.

"How are they still on their feet after taking all those attacks? Are they invincible or something? Or what?" Akihiko questioned.

"Hardly. There's no doubt Kamioren's fortitude and fighting spirit are commendable. However, Tatsuya's strikes are not nearly enough as potent as they should be, considering the extent of his power." Whis began to say. "Perhaps he has still not adjusted to the new way his muscles work through Autonomous Ultra Instinct, and how to command them for attacks. This wasted effort is costly. If he cannot defeat them with his next volley, I fear his strength may give out."

"I'm gonna finish this right now." I said.

"Damn you. No you won't! I'm nowhere close to done!" They shouted out angrily.

"You feel their energy?! It's surging even higher now!" Akihiko said in worry.

"If that's what you want then I'm gonna throw everything my I've got into my next attack!" They shouted out.

"Oh no you don't!" Hikaru shouted out as he dashed towards them in his Super Saiyan Blue Form.

Kamioren continues to power up until they and Hikaru began to exchange blows. They exchanged blows until Hikaru pushes them back with a kick and fired off his Final Flash technique at Kamioren.

Kamioren took the blast head-on and it powered up out of rage as it shouted out; "I will not lose to two stupid Saiyan children! I will emerge victorious and finally be set free from my torturous life!!".

Kamioren continues to power up until it transformed into a giant monster.

"Wh-What the hell?!" Hikaru said in surprise.

"Get out of here, Hikaru. I'll take it from here." I said calmly.

Hikaru powered down and jumped out of the way as Kamioren fires an energy mouth blast directly at me, only to find that I'm unharmed and unmoved by it. I, now in a higher state of power, prepares to fight the giant.

The giant Kamioren throws a mighty punch at me, though I easily dodged the blow. When Kamioren goes to fire an energy blast, I strikes first by landing a powerful kick to its forehead, which causes them to stagger. As the others fighters on either side of the ring continue to watch the battle unfold, Kamioren fires a Mouth Energy Wave, but I was able to stop the blast in its tracks and sends it back. After dodging more strikes, I retaliate with a two-strike combination that puts Kamioren on their knees. Kamioren throws more attacks at me as I dodged the series of attacks, I grabs a hold of one of Kamioren's head sections and spins them around before slamming them hard to the ground. Kamioren reaches out to grab me and thinks they have succeeded, but when they open their palm, they see that I am not there. I then fire a energy barrage at Kamioren.

Kamioren grows angry and starts to form a medium-sized Ki blast in its mouth as the energy ball creates large lasers as it spreads around the entire tournament ring.

"Aw, yeah! What kind of move is that?" Champa said.

"Kamioren's energy ball forming from its mouth is radiating outward in every direction as highly concentrated rays-- like laser beams." Vados said. "Most uncanny. One might say they're literally becoming the ultimate weapon."

"I may not know what's going on, but I do know I like it! Go, Kamioren!". Champa cheered out.

"With Tatsuya's threat making it think it either had to win now risk losing the tournament, it found an even greater extreme of power." Whis said.

"There is no such conquering weapon as the necessity of conquering." Beerus commented.

I dodged the lasers, however a couple of them manage to graze me.

"That doesn't look good. If one of those rays hits Tatsuya head on, it could be the end for him!" Kin said.

"That's so much energy! Are they planning to burn through all they got left to knock him out?" Akihiko said.

I begin to charge up a Kamehameha while moving closer to Kamioren and dodging all of her energy attacks.

"Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." I began to chant.

When Kamioren fires its final Energy Mouth Wave, I began to skate on top of it with my Kamehameha to catch Kamioren off-guard, and fires the attack as it hit the fused warrior so hard it replayed three different times at three different angles. The fused warrior was sent crashing into the ring and flying out of bounds. Kamioren separates back into Kamin and Oren as they re-appear on the sidelines.

"Contestant Kamin and Oren of the Sixth Universe, known collectively as Kamioren, are eliminated from the Tournament." The Grand Priest Announced.

"Fuwa, what to do, what to do?" Kaio-Fuwa said, beginning to worry. "They couldn't even stop him with fusion!".

"How could you both lose to that numbskull?!" Champa cried out angrily.

"That means it's down to Marvel and Lagss, sir." Vados said. "If they're knocked out, too, then we're done."

"Crap! Only two more fighters left? This is really bad!" Champa said. "How can the fate of my whole Universe rest on a glass woman and a DemiHuman?!".

"He won. Oh man, that was close." Akihiko said as he sighed in relief.

"In view of the circumstances, Tatsuya made an excellent choice. With limited stamina, he needed to win quickly. And a close-range Kamehameha had the power hid punches lacked." Whis said. "With the superior reflexes of Ultra Instinct, he knew he could avoid their onslaught while he charged up, then unleash everything in one attack to knock Kamioren out."

"It may have worked this time but I doubt he'll be able to use that trick again." Dad said. "He'll have to face El Hermano and whoever else attacks."

"You're right, Mr. Hitoshi. If only he could punch without thinking, too." Akihiko said.

"That is the hardest aspect of Ultra Instinct. Skilled Martial Artists think constantly in battle, probing for weaknesses and devising the best assault. Tatsuya's melee attacks were underwhelming because he was still trying to command his body consciously, thus sending contradictory signals to his muscles that were moving independently through Ultra Instinct." Whis said. "To succeed, he must learn to let go, separating his conscious mind from his body so the subliminal can take control. The question is whether he can do this in the short time remaining in this contest. It's a most fascinating development to watch. You agree don't you, Lord Beerus?".

"Don't try to rope me into your prattling, Whis." Beerus said.

"Looks like Tatsuya's attacks are improving. He's getting even more polished in that new form." Dyspo said.

"The longer we wait, the stronger he's going to become." Top said.

I then noticed a big shard of Glass coming at me from behind. I turned around and stopped it with my bare hands and brown it into pieces as I crushed it. A woman appeared in front of me with a ferocious glare. There are 17 minutes left in the Tournament of Power.

End of Chapter 84.
