Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Null Realm - Age 780
Shortly after, Jiren gained the upper hand on Goku, knocking him around and finishing off with a big blast that left him flat on the ground. Goza's battle against the combined might of my team also becomes increasingly dire for him.
Thanks to the addition of of Orphèe's Stringer Overture, Imperialdramon's Positron Laster and Goddramon's God Flame created an immensily powerful multicolored energy wave with spiraling strings of energy that started to overpower the Kamehameha launched by Goza who broke his limit reaching the highest known form of the Super Saiyan 4 evolution path, the Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker.
Before long, Goza's Kamehameha is almost completely pushed back despite Goza's relentless effort; the combined might of the three strongest members of my team is just too much for the Saiyan, and the next moment, a terrifying, blinding explosion shakes the whole Null Realm.
When the blinding light of the explosion fades away, it is revealed that the explosion has completely obliterated the immediate surroundings, leaving behind just a few small floating debris and ruined parts of the fighting stage.
At the same time, I and many other spectators take notice of the smoking figure of Goza as he powerlessly falls toward the bottomless abyss akin a puppet whose string got cut, however, before he gets eliminated, he makes his desperate move by firing a weak Ki Blast to alter his trajectory and crash into one of the floating patches of the ruined fighting stage, saving himself from elimination.
However, it is clear that he took a lot of damage from that explosion, as he is currently lying still on the ground breathing heavily, but, the fact that he is still in his Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker is a clear sign that he is not out of combat yet, just like Goku, who after taking a heavy beating from Jiren is now lying on the ground groaning in pain, is still in his Perfected Ultra Instinct form.
While it looks like the remaining warriors of the 7th Universe are defeated, Krillin still believes in Goku and his son as they have always turned the tables when things get tough, and so, he yells, "Come on, get up! Every time that it has really mattered, no matter how impossible it's seemed, you have always found a way to bounce back! And it has never mattered more than this. Goku! Goza! I believe in you! You can stop your enemies! I know it! Just dig deep, and get up!"
In response to Krillin's plea and encouragement, Goku and Goza do indeed struggle back to their feet, much to the shock of Jiren, who gasps, "Impossible! He can't have any strength left! This shouldn't be happening!"
On the other hand, Goddramon, Imperialdramon, and Orphèe and much more casual and accepting of Goku and Goza's response to Krillin's plea as they comment.
"As expected... They won't give up until the very end."
"Heh. This is what it means to fight the protagonist group. Sometimes, even if you completely overpower them, they get up again and find a way to fight back."
"This is what it means to be a true warrior worthy of respect. No matter how many times one falls, you get back up and fight for what you believe is right. The best and strongest Saint of Athena are all like this."
Soon, Goza's fiery aura explodes as he shouts, "This isn't over yet! I can't give up just yet! I still have a lot of energy left!"
The next moment, Goddramon makes his move and dives toward Goza while gathering Holy Energy into his fist, clearly taking advantage of his massive size to crush the ground under Goza's feet to force him out with sheer size and power, however, Goza is much more agile then the gargatuan Goddramon, and jumps off of the floating piece of the fighting stage to dodge the attack.
Then he quickly makes use of the other floating pieces to bounce around Goddramon and attack him from a blind spot; however, the much smaller Orphèe quickly comes to his aid and blocks Goza, forcing the Saiyan to retreat while Imperialdramon chases after him.
Meanwhile, Goku tells Jiren, who is amazed that Goku still has any stamina left, "Believe it. This fight is not over yet, Jiren." Which makes Jiren ask with a growl, "Tell me how. How do you stand up no matter how many times you fall? Answer me, Son Goku!"
In response, Goku calmly explains, "Because Vegeta, Broly, Cell, Gohan, Piccolo, and all the others gave everything they had so I and Goza could keep going and win this Tournament."
At this point, Goku clenches his fist and concludes, "If I do quit, I betray that trust. And I refuse to let all of them down."
Goku's complex silver and blue aura flares to life once more while Jiren yells and insists, "It's useless! Your ideals mean nothing in the face of my power!"
Then Jiren and Goku start to fight again as they charge at one another while Goku tells him, "You say they don't mean anything. I'll show you that they do." Which makes Jiren yell, "How dare you!?"
The deities of the 9th Universe immediately notice that Goku is now moving much faster than before and can't help but exclaim in shock.
"Son Goku's increased his speed has increased... He's even faster than he was before!"
"Impossible! How is he doing this?"
This makes Piccolo explain, "That should be obvious. Goku can reach these heights because he's not just fighting for himself. He fights for all of us. That's the difference here." followed by Old Kai, who sagely adds, "Piccolo's right. Behind every one of Goku's strikes is a whole community of people who've grown up with him, strengthening him over a lifetime of unimaginable challenges. Each one has been crucial. They've been his friends and family, his allies and rivals, inspiring and pushing him forward. Goku doesn't imagine for one minute that he's gotten this far on his own."
Krillin then continues by saying, "He's pushed all of us forward, too, shaping us into the people we are today. A lot of us started out as his enemies. We were hostile and misguided. But he earned our respect, and trust, and showed us a different way." Followed by his brother-in-law, Android 17, who says, "Even as he fights his opponents, he has a funny way of drawing them in. That's just the kind of man Son Goku is." Ending with Beerus, who confirms, "Yes, I've seen it myself."
Goku continues to fight Jiren as the two continously exchange blow after blow until Jiren finds a small opening and hits Goku with an axe kick sending him crashing toward one of the larger pieces of the shattered fighting stage before chasing after him to continue the assault, however, Goku quickly regains his bearings, landing on his feet and moves out of the way making Jiren crash with tremendous force, forming a crater while sending debriss flying.
At this point, Goku, who is still in mid-air, takes advantage of this opening to use the precision and strength augmented by his Ultra Instinct form to deliver a powerful punch that launches a barrage of massive shockwaves from the vibrations of his fist that cross the distance between him and Jiren in almost an instant before hitting the Pride Trooper making him grunt in pain while sending him crashing into many floating pieces of the fighting stage.
Jiren also regains his bearing and immediately retaliates by launching an incessant barrage of rapid-fire punches that generate bright red shockwaves, but Goku dodges them all and closes the distance in a moment before he hits Jiren with a powerful punch that sends him crashing into the wall of another nearby piece of the fighting stage.
Shortly after that, Goku lands a few meters away from Jiren, who is currently stuck on the wall, and says, "This is our power, Jiren."
However, Jiren snorts and still refuses to accept Goku's explanation, "To hell with your friendship. To hell with your trust. Putting faith in such things would mean denying all the things that I've witnessed in my life up until now. I know better than to believe in that kind of so-called 'strength'. I know how easily it's ripped away!"
At this point, Jiren's body emits a powerful pulse of Ki that shatters the wall he was struck into, and then he gathers his Ki in his hand and yells, "I'll show you!" Firing a Ki Blast aimed at the stand, which Goku then immediately deflects, sending it toward another floating rock that immediately gets blasted apart.
Goku glares at Jiren, who is panting heavily, and growls, "How dare you?" which makes Jiren tells him, "The source of strength you rely on is fleeting. They will all be turned to dust! Just like that rock!"
Angered, Goku says, "The truth is, I ain't no hero of justice, or anything else like that. But anyone who tries to hurt my friends... Is gonna pay!" before his aura fully explodes and he attacks Jiren with a fist full of rage.
Then both savagely exchange several blows and blasts, until Goku takes the upper hand and finishes off Jiren with a full-power Kamehameha.
Now Jiren is the one on the ground, apparently immobilized by Goku's blast, though Goku seems reluctant to finish him off, something that makes Jiren ask, "What's the matter? Why don't you finish me?"
Hearing that, Goku calmly asks back, "As incredible as you are, now you have to admit what I've been saying is true, right? You understand, don't you?"
In response to his question, Jiren looks away and growls, "Don't waste time trying to preach to me. This fight is over. Throw me off the edge."
As Goku prepares a final blast, though, Top stands up from the bleachers of the spectators' stand and yells, "What are you doing, Jiren!? Giving up at your enemy's feet? Is this honestly the way that you want your fight to end? Get up! Come on! Jiren!"
Hearing that, Goku, who is still charging his energy blast, smiles and says, "It seems that you do have some friends that care for you and encourage you..." but Jiren still denies, "No. I don't have friends."
Meanwhile, Top continues, "Why would you spend all those years honing your strength, rejecting everything and everyone else, just to surrender? For the sake of your own pride, keep fighting to the end! Even if you no longer believe in your own absolute power, I have not lost faith. And never will. Jiren, you are the strongest. No one is stronger than you. Nothing could make me doubt that."
Top's speech motivates Jiren to stand up as his blazing Ki once again explodes as he yells, "That's enough!" Before he clenches his fist and swings his arm, unleashing his power in the form of a giant fiery shockwave that forces Goku to use all his power to hold back the blast that threatens to fully engulf him.
The next moment, Goku let out a fierce yell and, with great effort, he dispersed the fiery shockwave upwards, generating a massive spiralling pillar.
At this point, Jiren gathers fiery Ki in his right hand and reels it back, yelling, "SON GOKU!!" before thrusting his hand forward and launching a colossal beam of flames at his opponent.
In response, Goku cups his hands and draws them to his side, charging an astonishing amount of energy into a single point before thrusting his hands forward to shoot out an intense, massive blue energy wave while yelling, "JIREN!!"
In a blink of an eye, Jiren's Omega Heat Magnetron clashes with Goku's Kamehameha and at the exact moment of the clash, the whole Null Realm stills for a second but then, the two energy-based techniques, that are perfectly evenly matched and unable to overpower the other, collapse unleashing a devastating explosion that actually creates tears in the Null Realm time-space forcing me to once again use my power to contain the explosion and repair the damage to avoid the power of this explosion to spill over to the Dragon Ball Multiverse.
At the same time, the exhausted Jiren and Goku are unable to react and are instantly blown away by the explosion without being able to do anything, and in the end, both of them helplessly fall into the bottomless abyss of the Null Realm before they are quickly transported to the bleachers of the spectators' stand much to the shock of their teammates and Deities.
Then, a very hurt and tired Goku mutters as he slowly sits up, "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! Man! That was incredible...!" followed by Gohan, who comments, "Now, there is only Goza left. He is alone against Imperialdramon, Goddramon, and Orphèe-san."
Shortly after that, the Grand Minister calmly announces, "The contestants Son Goku-san from the 7th Universe and Jiren-san from the 11th Universe are eliminated. The 11th Universe has lost all its warriors and has been defeated, and they will now be erased."
In response to the announcement, the Zenos raise their hands and charge twin blue spheres of energy in their hands that are going to be used to erase the 11th Universe from existence.
At the same time, the warriors and Gods of the 11th Universe in the Null Realm, excluding the Guide Angel Marcarita, start flashing in a white aura.
Meanwhile, Top, the other Pride Troopers, Khai, and Belmod all surround and look at the defeated Jiren, whose body is lying on the bleachers, and then Top says, "Jiren... We thank you," which makes Jiren slowly open his eyes and ask in a confused tone, "You thank me? I ignored you during this whole Tournament. My ambitions were my only goal."
At this moment, an exhausted Goku, who got on his feet with his son's help, calls him out and says, "Jiren. I know we just barely finished the battle of our lives, but I'm already hungry for the next fight. Maybe you don't want to hear this, but... I feel like we've gotten stronger, together. And I think that's worth a lot. Hmpf. I hope to see you again, Jiren."
Hearing that, Jiren's eyes open wide for a moment, but then he realizes something and a small smile forms on his face as he chuckles before he and all the other flashing warriors and Deties disappear, making a solemn Vegeta comment, "What an incredible warrior." Something that Goku wholeheartedly agrees with, "Yeah."
But soon, everyone focuses back on the battle still ongoing on what remains of the ruined fighting stage, the very last battle of the Tournament of Power, the battle between the members of my team, Imperialdramon, Goddramon, and Orphèe against Goza.
Goza, seeing his father defeated, pumps up more power, unleashing a fiery gale of power that makes the people on the spectators' stand gasp.
"Goza's focusing an incredible amount of energy now."
"Damn it. Those Saiyans are a crazy bunch. It seems that there isn't an actual limit to the kind of power they can unleash."
"Goza is truly amazing! He's gotten this strong all on his own."
"Yes. But Orphèe, Imperialdramon, and Goddramon can still match him."
With a ferocious yells, Goza doesn't hesitate and charges toward the members of my team while Goddramon and Imperialdramon roar back and do the same, with Orphèe calmly going after them.
Goza clashes with both the massive Digimon, and despite the impressive difference in size, the result of the clash is perfectly equal, with all of them being pushed back a bit with a painful groan before they quickly recover and start to exchange blows.
Goza lands a powerful punch on Goddramon's face, but that leaves him exposed to Imperialdramon's counterattack, who shoots forward through the air with one knee outstretched, hitting Goza and pushing him back.
The Saiyan tries to regain his bearing and retaliate, but right at this moment, Oprhèe burns his Cosmo and plays his lyre before firing several strings of energy from his fingertips while calling out, "Stringer Overture!"
Each one of the strings of energy is travelling at a speed faster than light, hitting Goza in an instant and sending him crashing against a nearby floating boulder.
At the same time, Goddramon follows after Goza while gathering his Holy Power into his fist, and shortly after Goza crashed into the boulder, he yells, "God Fist!" hitting Goza, who blasts through the boulder.
Imperialdramon quickly appears behind Goza and flips, bringing its heel down on the Saiyan, sending him crashing into the ground of another of the few remaining pieces of the fighting stage.
Seeing that, both Imperialdramon and Goddramon dive to finish him off, but just as they are about to hit him, Goza roars and delivers an impressive barrage of punches that blows away both gargantuan Digimon then without wasting any time, he places both his hands above the head with the palms facing in their direction and one hand in front of the other with the fingers going in opposite directions as he gathers an insane amount of Ki in a blink of an eye.
Then he thrusts his hands forward and calls out, "Masenko!!" firing an immense beam of magenta energy that quickly flies toward my Digimon Partners at the speed faster than light, swallowing them in a massive explosion.
The smoke quickly fades away, revealing that this time the damage is too much for them to bear as their bodies shine and they quickly revert back to their Child Level, turning back into Patamon, V-mon, and Wormon as they start to fall toward the bottomless abyss of the Null Realm.
Seeing that, Goza immediately goes after Orphèe, whose Cosmo is burning to unprecedented levels as a massive Lyra Constellation appears in the skies of the Null Realm, illuminating it in an almost sacred light while he starts to play his final melody.
Orphée also runs toward his opponent, and as he plays the melody on his lyre, he calls out, "This is the end! Divine Stringer Fine!!"
The strings of the instrument extend, wrapping around Goza, who starts to struggle to break free as his aura flares fiercely, but no matter how much power he unleashes, the strings, supported by Orphèe's immense Cosmo, continue to tighten around Goza's body, further containing his Ki and binding his body.
This is Orphèe's most powerful technique, one powerful enough that can potentially kill a God, the reason for that is that once the strings of his lyre wound around the target then the target is truly trapped because the combination of his Cosmo with the strings and the melody makes the target completely helpless on many levels as their bodies, minds, and even energy is completely bound.
At that point, Orphée performs his ultimate melody, causing the strings to tighten and generate a small, contained, Big Bang-like explosion that destroys the adversary.
As a result, most of the enemy's body turns to dust, with only their head and some fragments of their attire remaining on the ground, but since this is a Tournament and killing the opponent is forbidden, I'm sure that Orphèe only wants to bind Goza and my hunch is proved right when he calls out, "Now!"
In response to Orphèe's cue, my falling Digimon Partner makes their move with Patamon flapping his ear/wings and grabbing Wormmon before quickly throwing him toward the wall of a nearby floating rubble.
Wormmon instantly sticks to the wall and uses his Special Move, Silk Thread Gather, to shoot out silk in the shape of a hand to grab V-mon and, using all his strength to swing it, to gather more momentum and then launch V-mon toward the bound Goza.
At this point, V-mon takes a rigid stance as he is falling head first toward his target, but then Patamon inflates himself with air and yells, "Air Shot!" Expelling a burst of air from his mouth that hits the feet of the falling V-mon, accelerating his speed and increasing his momentum even more to the point that he now appears like a small blue meteor.
As Goza continues to struggle trying to break free from Orphèe's Divine Stringer Fine, the impending V-mon then forcefully calls out, "This is the power of our teamwork! V-mon Head!"
The next moment, V-mon hits the bound Goza with a very strong headbutt that generates a massive shockwave and sends Goza flying toward Orphèe hitting him with enough force to knock both of them off the piece of the fighting stage and like that, the two of them start to fall until they both get transported to their team's side where they are warmly welcomed while my family is happily cheering for our team victory.
At this point, the Grand Minister announces, "The contestants Orphèe-san from Jayr-sama's team and Son Goza-san from the 7th Universe have been eliminated. The 7th Universe has lost all its warriors and has been defeated..."
Just as the people of the 7th Universe, who didn't know that I could restore the erased universes, are starting to get anxious, the Grand Minister continues, "... However, since Jayr-sama's Team is from outside His Majesty's Multiverse, and that for their prize for winning, they only wanted a formal alliance between His Majesty's Multiverse and Jayr's Universe, the 7th Universe will be spared from being erased and can be considered the last surviving universe and thus also a victor. Because of this, Their Majesties and Jayr-sama decided beforehand that in such a case, they would allow the last surviving warrior of the last surviving Universe to have his wish granted."
At this point, the Grand Minister floats toward the spectators' stand and asks, "Contestant Son Goza-san. You are the last warrior of the 7th Universe. What will you wish for?"
At the same time, the Super Dragon Balls suddenly appear above as a reward, and the Grand Minister speaks the Divine Language to summon forth Super Shenron, "Emoc htrof, Nogard fo eth Sdog, dna tnarg ym hsiw. Pretty Peas!"
This time, without much fanfare, the Super Dragon Ball shines brightly before Super Shenron appears with his body, much smaller than before, wound around the floating remains of the ruined fighting stage while saying, "I ma eht Nogard fo Sdog. Etats ruoy hsiw dna I llahs tnarg ti. (I am the Dragon of Gods. State your wish and I shall grant it.)"
After summoning Super Shenron, the Grand Minister looks at Goza and asks, "It is time, Son Goza-san. Make your wish." followed by the Zenos, who floats closer to the spectator stands and says.
"He can ask anything."
"Yes, anything at all."
"And he'll get it."
""What will it be?""
Without any hesitation, Goza smiles and says, "There is only one possible wish... All of the universes that have been erased... I wanna bring them back."
Shocking many of the other Deities present while the people from the 7th Universe simply knowingly, as they likely have already agreed to what kind of wish request beforehand.
At the same time, the genuinely curious Zeno-1 asks, "You're sure that's what you want?" followed by Zeno-2, who adds, "Super sure?" Making Goze smile and confirm, "Yes, I'm sure."
The Grand Minister repeats this wish in the divine language, "Eroster lla eht sesrevinu taht evah neeb desare! (Restore all the universes that have been erased!)"
Super Shenron's crimson eyes glow for a brief moment, and it states, "Ruoy hsiw sah neeb detnarg! (Your wish has been granted!)" before it glows in a bright golden light and flies out of the Null Realm, quickly restoring all the erased universes.
At the same time, I use my Cosmic Awareness to check the situation of the newly restored universes.
In the newly restored 6th Universe, Caulifla and Kale rejoice to find themselves alive again, while Cabba tearfully rejoices that Vegeta kept his promise, then Caulifla forces Cabba to help her and Kale train to reach Super Saiyan 3. Meanwhile, off on his own, Champa refuses to thank his brother.
The 10th, 3rd, 2nd, 9th, 4th, and 11th are likewise restored, and while those who didn't know what happened just calmy continued with their lives, those who know are celebrating their survival, especially the 2nd Universe, who broadcasted the whole Tournament of Power and which now seems very intent in starting an universe-wide orgy.
In the 11th Universe, Jiren reflects on Goku's desire to meet again, but believes himself too hung up on his past to ever form a bond with anyone else around him. As Top discusses Jiren's disposition in the bout, he vows, along with Top, that they will triumph the next time they battle Goku and the others.
