The Grand Priest slowed his descent, his composed demeanor unshaken as he rushed back toward Goten.
Goten, meeting his advance, grabbed the Grand Priest with both hands, their struggle erupting mid-air into an all-out brawl.
An overwhelming Ki surged from their clashing forms, creating shockwaves that rippled through the surrounding dimension. The strong winds carried their power outward, leaving visible scars on the fabric of space.
BANG!!
After a brief stalemate, the Grand Priest pushed Goten back with a forceful shove. Both fighters landed several meters apart, panting heavily as they stared each other down.
Without wasting time, Goten lunged forward again, his aura blazing around him.
BANG!! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Each collision between their fists echoed like thunder, shaking the entire other-dimensional arena. The very space around them showed signs of collapse as sharp, blade-like winds cut into the ground below, leaving deep scars that stretched for miles.
Suddenly, a deafening crack split the air like lightning, sending vibrations through the void.
Above, Goten and the Grand Priest clashed with their right fists, the force of their collision splitting the air and reverberating across the dimension.
BANG!!
Locked in combat, their fists trembled with raw energy. Finally, the Grand Priest broke the stalemate, delivering a powerful strike that sent Goten flying backward. However, this time, the distance wasn't far—a testament to the Grand Priest's waning strength.
Sensing the Grand Priest's power weakening further, Goten saw his opportunity. Without hesitation, he activated his Power of Time, freezing the Grand Priest's movements for a split second.
Though the Grand Priest had been cautious, the brief lapse in movement was all Goten needed.
Bang!!!
Goten's right fist landed with devastating force on the Grand Priest's abdomen, launching him tens of thousands of meters away.
The Grand Priest slowed himself mid-air, his aura flaring as he regained control. Before he could react further, Goten appeared beside him, his energy radiating fiercely.
"Ahhhh!!!"
With a loud shout, the Grand Priest unleashed the full extent of his angelic power, the air around him shattering like glass. However, as the fragments of space fell away, the figure in front of him disappeared—it was merely a phantom created by Goten's Flash Time technique.
The real Goten materialized behind the Grand Priest and launched a rapid series of punches. At such close range, the Grand Priest struggled to keep up, Goten's clever use of Janemba teleportation adding unpredictability to his attacks.
One of Goten's punches struck the Grand Priest squarely in the face, forcing him back. Yet, the seasoned combatant recovered quickly, dodging Goten's follow-up strike with expert precision.
The battle continued with blinding speed, the two moving so fast that their figures appeared as streaks of silver light flashing across the sky and ground.
As their duel dragged on, the Grand Priest's stamina visibly dwindled, his attacks growing less precise.
Recognizing his advantage, Goten poured all his strength into a single, final move.
"Dragon Fist!"
With a thunderous roar, Goten's right fist blazed with golden energy, transforming into the shape of a mighty dragon. The shimmering energy dragon coiled around his arm before surging forward, striking the Grand Priest with tremendous force.
Bang!!!
The Grand Priest flew thousands of meters away, crashing into the far edges of the dimension.
Ding!
Congratulations to the master for defeating the Grand Priest and obtaining the Super Saiyan 8 Advanced Card. Reward unlocked…
"Huff…"
Goten exhaled deeply, his body trembling as he landed on the ground. Although his infinite stamina and Majin Buu's regenerative abilities kept him standing, the prolonged use of Ultra Instinct had placed a massive burden on his body. Without these abilities, he doubted he could have lasted this long.
Returning to his base form, Goten pulled out a Senzu Bean and approached the fallen Grand Priest.
"Master Grand Priest," Goten said, offering the bean.
The Grand Priest looked at the small object for a moment before swallowing it. In seconds, his injuries healed, and his strength returned.
"Goten…" the Grand Priest said with a faint smile. "You've won this battle."
Goten nodded humbly.
The Grand Priest waved his staff, restoring the damaged dimension to its original state before guiding Goten back to the Palace of Zeno.
The Grand Zeno's Palace
As they emerged, the two Omni-Kings greeted Goten with wide smiles.
"Goten!" they called in unison, waving enthusiastically.
Goten smiled and bowed slightly. "Grand Zeno!"
Turning to the Grand Priest, he said, "Master Grand Priest, the war begins in three days. I'd like to return to Earth and prepare with my friends and family."
The Grand Priest nodded. "Very well. If the Great Mother or her forces make a move, Whis and I will notify you immediately."
"Understood," Goten replied, nodding.
Earth – Mount Paozu
With the looming war, Goku, Vegeta, Broly, and others had returned to Earth to prepare.
Outside Goku's house, he was training Pan, who eagerly threw punches and kicks under his watchful eye.
"Grandpa," Pan asked, pausing mid-practice, "when will Uncle Goten come back?"
"I'm not sure," Goku replied, wiping sweat from his brow. "Whis said the Grand Priest is training him right now."
"How strong is Uncle Goten, Grandpa?" Pan pressed.
"Almost as strong as Whis," Goku said with a chuckle. "And after training with the Grand Priest, I'd bet he's even stronger now."
"Wow!" Pan exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with admiration.
At that moment, two figures materialized nearby. It was Goten and Supreme Kai Shin.
"Goten!" Goku exclaimed, his face breaking into a wide grin.
"Uncle Goten!" Pan shouted, running toward him.
"Hey, Dad! Pan!" Goten greeted warmly, ruffling Pan's hair.
Hearing the commotion, Chi-Chi rushed out of the house.
"Goten!" she cried, pulling him into a tight embrace.
"Mom," Goten said, caught off guard.
"You've been gone for three years," Chi-Chi said, her voice trembling with emotion. "After this war, promise me you'll never leave for so long again."
"I promise, Mom," Goten said with a smile.
Stepping back, Chi-Chi wiped her eyes, and Goten noticed how much she had aged. At nearly fifty, the years had taken their toll.
Moments later, Gohan and Videl joined them.
"Goten!" Gohan greeted warmly.
"Brother, sister-in-law," Goten replied, nodding.
"How's your training been these past three years?" Gohan asked.
"Good," Goten said simply.
"Then you're staying here for the war?"
"Of course," Goten replied. "I'll be fighting alongside everyone to defend Universe 7."
"Good to hear," Gohan said, smiling. "Let's talk inside."
