"Ah, did we go too hard and end up killing him?"

"That Son Goku probably wouldn't be killed that easily, but…"

Looking ahead of them, Gokumi wore a deeply worried expression, and even Chi-Chi furrowed her brows.

Their attack just now had indeed been powerful—something an ordinary person would be completely unable to withstand. But after exchanging blows, both Gokumi and Chi-Chi had a fairly clear understanding of Son Goku's strength. Even if he sustained some injuries, someone like him shouldn't have been killed.

However, starting just now, they could no longer sense Son Goku's energy at all!

Just as Gokumi and Chi-Chi were still worrying whether they had killed Goku and would consequently be disqualified from the match, a sudden burst of air erupted from the sky ahead, and Son Goku's figure reappeared once again.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and his body was covered with many wounds—clearly, Chi-Chi and Gokumi's earlier attack had caused him considerable trouble.

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that, at this moment, Son Goku was radiating a brilliant blue aura. As he moved, it was as if his body were covered in a thin layer of blue crystalline energy that would rapidly form and shatter.

His hair, eyebrows, and even the pupils of his eyes had turned blue. His entire body was surrounded by a blue spiritual aura and the unique starry particles of the divine realm, with tiny sparks of electricity occasionally bursting from the energy aura around him.

They could no longer sense Goku's energy at all, yet he now gave both Gokumi and Chi-Chi a terrifying sense of absolute danger!

"That idiot—why doesn't he just transform like this from the start? It's always the same every time!"

From the stands, Beerus cursed, but deep down, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Goku in this form was strong enough that even he felt some apprehension. There was no reason he would lose to those two women from Universe 13 now!

"Thank goodness, Dad's okay."

"Son, you look pretty happy."

Seeing his father unharmed, Son Gohan also sighed in relief, while Piccolo standing beside him smiled faintly.

"Whoa whoa, what transformation is this? It looks crazy powerful!"

Curiously observing Goku's current form, Gokumi asked.

"This is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, commonly known as Super Saiyan Blue. It's my final—and strongest—transformation."

"To be able to push me to this point… you two are truly incredible."

"Chi-Chi and Gokumi of Universe 13!"

Son Goku gave the two a brief explanation, then unleashed his aura, immediately causing powerful shockwaves to ripple outward in all directions.

"Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan…"

What a mouthful, Gokumi looked totally confused, but Chi-Chi beside her suddenly had a realization.

Super Saiyan God—wasn't that the Saiyan evolution path that Yuujin had proposed back then?!

At the time, no matter how much Yuujin and the others tried, they couldn't succeed, and eventually had no choice but to pursue the Super Saiyan 4 evolution instead. Who would've thought that Universe 7's Son Goku could actually achieve this form!

"Gokumi, I can feel it—there's still a massive power hidden within you."

"Bring out your full strength, and let's have a real fight!"

Goku stared intensely at Gokumi as he spoke.

Unlike others who relied on overwhelming power to crush opponents quickly, Son Goku loved enjoying the thrill of battle. During a fight, he rarely started with full power—instead, he probed his opponents' depths while gradually revealing his own strength.

And after their earlier battle, Goku had reached a conclusion—Universe 13's Chi-Chi and Gokumi were worthy of making him fight seriously.

Although Chi-Chi had said that 500x Kaioken was her current limit, Gokumi undoubtedly possessed power beyond Super Saiyan 3!

"Alright, then I'll show you my strongest transformation too!"

Also someone who loved fighting powerful opponents, Gokumi replied happily.

Clenching her fists, Gokumi let out a long roar. A massive surge of electricity erupted alongside golden energy from her body as she transformed into Super Saiyan 4.

Unlike Goku's Super Saiyan Blue, which belonged to the divine realm and could only be sensed by other godly beings, Gokumi's Super Saiyan 4 was an evolution of pure Saiyan bloodline—so the instant she transformed, her presence was immediately felt by many.

At Universe 11's base, Jiren's eyes briefly flashed as his energy stirred faintly—only to soon return to calm.

Elsewhere on the stage, where the platform had been reduced to rubble, the battling Cabba and Vegeta suddenly halted. Both turned toward Gokumi's direction, their faces filled with shock.

"Ve–Vegeta-sensei, that energy is…!"

"We'll continue our fight later!"

Under that terrifying aura, Cabba's body was already trembling slightly. Without another word, Vegeta launched himself in Gokumi's direction.

"Oh my, oh my… this sensation feels like those Saiyans from Universe 13."

In a dark corner, Frieza kicked out another contestant from a different universe. Staring toward Gokumi's group, his narrow eyes shimmered with dangerous light.

At the same time, similar scenes began to unfold all across the arena.

And it wasn't just the contestants—many of the gods in the spectator stands had been stirred as well.

"Hey, Whis, what's the deal with that woman?"

With a look more serious than ever before, Beerus spoke.

"That seems to be a new transformation developed by the Saiyans of Universe 13—beyond Super Saiyan 3. Quite an astonishing power indeed."

"Looks like Goku-san has really met his match this time. Hohohohoho…"

Whis chuckled lightheartedly as he stroked his chin.

Beerus had no mind to argue with Whis now—his expression had turned extremely grim.

"Astonishing" didn't even begin to describe it—it was downright horrifying. The power of mere mortals had actually reached a level on par with gods!

It was bad enough that Universe 11 had Jiren—why were these monsters popping up one after another?!

"That female Saiyan from Universe 13 seems pretty amazing."

"Hey, Vados, can Cabba and Caulifla transform like that too?"

Also watching Gokumi's battle, Universe 6's God of Destruction, Champa, asked.

"Cabba and Caulifla do have potential, but reaching that level of transformation… I think it'll be difficult."

With a sparkle in her eyes, Universe 6's Angel Vados replied.

"Tch, what useless bunch."

"Woman! Hurry and defeat Son Goku, then jump off the ring yourself!"

"The final victor will be Universe 6! Universe 6!"

Holding a loudspeaker, Champa shouted enthusiastically.

"Yare yare, Lord Champa is carefree as ever today."

"Before our universe gets erased, Lord Champa, just stay cheerful and optimistic like this, okay?"

"..."
