'I knew this guy would be strong… but I didn't expect him to be this strong. It seems this One-Star Dragon's power has already surpassed the one in the original story. This… might be a problem.'
"Heh-heh… Goku, what's with that expression? Are you scared of my aura? Seeing me like this—so much stronger—are you starting to regret it? After all, my existence was born because of you."
"Regret? How laughable."
Goku looked calmly at the One-Star Dragon, more intrigued than intimidated. "I'm curious though—were you created from one of my wishes?"
"Eternal youth. Immortality." The One-Star Dragon's tone was flat.
"Just as I thought." Goku gave a small nod. "Only that wish could have created a Shadow Dragon as powerful as you. But that's fine by me. When I made that wish, I already foresaw this day. One-Star Dragon—let me see just how strong you really are!"
Two terrifying auras erupted at once. The battle began.
---
The sky turned gray and heavy, echoing with deafening booms. Two figures flashed and clashed above, each collision shaking the clouds and cracking the earth below.
Their ki was monstrous. Every punch, every kick carried divine force enough to destroy the world.
With a roar like a god's, Goku hurled a punch forward. Light blazed around his fist, carrying his intent to destroy. The strike tore through the sky like an unstoppable meteor.
The One-Star Dragon's expression hardened. Even before the blow landed he could feel its terrifying weight. Without hesitation, he thrust out his hands and unleashed a torrent of ki. Lightning wove through the dazzling blast as it surged forward to meet Goku's fist.
They collided with an earth-shattering crash.
Goku had absolute faith in this punch—the ultimate technique he'd mastered, forged with his indomitable will. Moving like an invincible sovereign, he struck without fear.
"Die!"
His roar flared as the light on his fist grew even brighter. The unstoppable force shattered the One-Star Dragon's ki wave layer by layer.
"D-damn it!"
Terror tinged the dragon's roar as the blazing light swallowed him whole. There was no explosion—only silence as the planet beneath them dissolved into nothingness under the destructive wave.
The sheer force of the attack left Cai Lin and the other women stunned, hearts racing with a strange, fierce excitement.
"Is it over?"
Breathing steadily, Goku probed the endless void with his senses. Then his gaze shifted to a distant, shattered asteroid. He sighed. "As expected… this guy isn't that easy to kill."
Behind the asteroid, a blood-soaked figure emerged. "No wonder you beat this world's Destroyer God… your strength is terrifying…"
The One-Star Dragon clutched his bleeding right arm, his face dark and grim. "Damn it… I planned to toy with you a while longer, but you used such a terrible technique out of nowhere… for a moment, even I thought I was finished. Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! Filthy monkey—how dare you make me feel fear! This shame can only be cleansed with your death. I'll show you my true power!"
His roar sent a storm of ki surging out, annihilating the surrounding asteroids. Everything trembled before that aura.
Goku's eyes narrowed. This ki far exceeded his current Super Saiyan 4 state. It was hard to believe—One-Star Dragon had become this powerful?
'No way… One-Star Dragon… has such terrifying strength?!'
"Prepare to die, Goku!"
The dragon dove from above, unleashing his deadliest assault. In his palms, countless ki blasts formed and rained down like meteors. Each one held power enough to destroy a planet. Even Goku might be seriously hurt if struck.
Goku's aura blazed gold as he darted and twisted at high speed, dodging the storm.
Explosions thundered endlessly, the scene so fierce it seemed the sky itself would crack.
But there were too many blasts to avoid. One struck home. In an instant, more followed, engulfing Goku in a roaring cascade. The bombardment shook even the void.
The One-Star Dragon's eyes gleamed coldly as he stared into the fading smoke.
Then a golden figure emerged, slow and steady, aura rising like a blazing sun—an undefeated war god cast in gold.
"What?!"
The One-Star Dragon's composure shattered. "Impossible! You're unscathed?!"
"Heh. Without entering this realm yourself, you can't comprehend its power. My body now is beyond mortal comparison!"
Goku's voice rang out as his figure blurred into a golden streak, closing on the dragon.
"Come! Let's have a real fight!" he laughed.
"Hmph! Then let me send you to hell!"
The One-Star Dragon roared back, charging head-on.
Winds howled, space twisted at the edges of destruction. The power they unleashed pushed reality itself to the brink.
Goku shot forward, right fist blazing with destructive force, and slammed it into the dragon's chest. Blood surged up as the impact rattled his body.
But the dragon only grinned, spinning with a sudden turn. His right fist crashed down on Goku's shoulder. Explosive force erupted from both their strikes, hurling them backward. They skidded through the void for hundreds of meters before regaining balance.
In the next instant they flashed forward again, colliding midair.
A thunderous boom rolled out, shockwaves making space itself quiver.
'I didn't think… One-Star Dragon would be this strong… is it because of me?'
Goku's expression grew solemn as he shook off another exchange. The dragon's unleashed power truly shocked him. It had reached the very limit of Super Saiyan 4—one step away from the so-called True God Realm.
'Have I grown so strong that the Shadow Dragons born from me also grow stronger? This is troublesome. I can't drag this out. I'd better end it quickly before more problems arise.'
Staring at the One-Star Dragon, Goku finally decided to fight seriously.
---
In Goku's hand, a blade of destruction slowly took form, rising as though to pierce the void. Golden light blazed, ki flames roared skyward. Like a sun shining over the world, it carried destruction within creation and creation within destruction. Space warped, collapsing near the blade. A shiver-inducing power radiated from it, as if it could cleave the void and annihilate all.
This was no ordinary weapon but a divine sword—one that could rend void. The light blades Goku had formed before were small and simple; this was a True God Sword, something only a being at the True God Realm could create.
"How terrifying… that sword!"
Watching on the screen, Cai Lin and the others couldn't help but exclaim. Just its presence filled them with a mix of awe and despair. Even with their closeness to Goku, they felt like kneeling before it. If they felt this way, what of his enemies?
"Damn it! What is that sword?!"
For the first time, fear flickered in the One-Star Dragon's face. The blade radiated a terror that made his scales crawl. It looked like it could slice him apart with ease.
"The game ends here, One-Star Dragon. Return to what you were meant to be."
Goku's eyes were cold as he flicked the sword. Space itself split like torn fabric, leaving a pitch-black scar.
Such power made the dragon's heart quake. Fear surged so strongly he actually wanted to retreat. That sword was too dreadful—so dreadful it smothered his fighting spirit.
"Damn it! I'm not afraid! I'm the strongest One-Star Dragon! Goku, I'll repay this humiliation a hundredfold—a thousandfold! Hyaaah!"
