DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

"Jiu…"

At the elimination announcement, the Future Omni-King pressed the icon on his Divinepad with a look of fascination. Universe 3's Supreme Kai felt a surge of panic as he realized the full extent of his team's losses. Four of their warriors had been taken down in quick succession, leaving only two remaining on the competition stage. Universe 3's chance of survival had become slim.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, Caulifla had managed to climb out from the rubble. Though battered, her determination blazed in her eyes as she looked at Goten. She knew, however, that no matter how hard she tried, her individual strength wasn't enough to defeat him. Her mind raced, then settled on the fusion earrings Vados had given her. A daring idea took root.

A brilliant light flared as Caulifla placed one earring on her ear and tossed the other to Kale. In a flash, the two Saiyans combined, their bodies and powers merging into one. When the light faded, a new warrior stood in their place—a woman with Caulifla's face but Kale's intense energy, her hair styled differently and her figure more muscular. She wore a pink dress, exuding a powerful, unified presence.

This warrior was Kefla, the fusion of Caulifla and Kale.

"So this is the power of fusion…" Kefla murmured, feeling the immense energy coursing through her body. She clenched her fists, marveling at the strength she now possessed. Her gaze fell on Goten, her expression fierce.

Across the arena, Goten stood with a calm expression, observing Kefla's transformation without concern. He knew their fusion had granted them a substantial power boost, but even so, he sensed they were far from the level of Jiren. If anything, Goten viewed this as an interesting challenge but not a serious threat.

Kefla grinned, taking his calm demeanor as a personal challenge. "Ha!" she yelled, dashing toward Goten with blinding speed, her right fist aimed straight at him.

But just as her fist was about to make contact, Goten vanished, his figure disappearing in the blink of an eye. Kefla's punch struck empty air, her eyes widening as she realized her target was gone.

Suddenly, Goten reappeared behind her, delivering a powerful kick to her back.

Bang!!

Boom!!

The force of the kick sent Kefla flying forward, her body crashing into a rock formation with an explosive impact. Dust and rubble filled the air, creating a cloud around her as she lay embedded in the debris.

"What is Caulifla doing?" Champa shouted from the stands, his face twisted in frustration. "She went through all that trouble to fuse, but she's not even using Super Saiyan! She should be going all out against Goten!"

Vados chuckled beside him. "Perhaps she's just testing her strength, my lord."

Champa let out an exasperated huff, crossing his arms. "Vados, how much time is left?"

"We're halfway through the match," Vados replied. "About 50 takks remain."

Champa grit his teeth, glancing down at the arena. "Caulifla… Hit… you need to hold on till the end!"

Though he had long since given up on Universe 6 winning the tournament, Champa clung to the hope that his fighters could simply survive until the timer ran out. As long as one of them remained standing, Universe 6 would avoid erasure.

Back in the arena, Kefla emerged from the rubble, brushing dust from her shoulders. Her gaze fixed on Goten, her eyes filled with resolve. She could feel her new strength—a power that felt limitless, exhilarating. But she knew Goten was strong, perhaps stronger than anyone she'd faced before.

"So… this is Universe 7's strongest?" she muttered to herself. Kefla clenched her fists, her energy flaring as an intense aura enveloped her. Her ki began to surge, causing the ground around her to tremble violently. Her hair turned a bright, almost grass-green, her eyebrows golden like a Super Saiyan, and her pupils glowed a light blue. Her muscles swelled, her body pulsing with newfound strength.

This was Kefla's Super Saiyan transformation, a unique form achieved by combining Caulifla and Kale's powers.

"What… what a powerful ki!" Goku exclaimed from across the stage. Though he had reverted to his base form, he could still sense the overwhelming energy Kefla emitted. Her power was immense—greater than any individual fighter Universe 6 had presented thus far.

Even Gohan, watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and tension. Kefla's energy was immense, a testament to the strength of fusion. Although they all knew Goten was stronger, Kefla's transformation was not to be underestimated.

With a loud battle cry, Kefla shot forward, her body a streak of green light as she closed the distance between herself and Goten in an instant. She unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, her limbs moving with incredible speed.

Goten dodged, raising his hands to block her strikes as he fell back, letting her press the attack. His calm expression remained, even as Kefla pushed him back toward a wall of rocks, her fists and feet striking like lightning.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

Under Kefla's relentless assault, Goten was forced to retreat, each step taking him closer to the rock wall behind him.

"Ha!" Kefla shouted, channeling all her strength into a final punch. But just as her fist was about to connect, Goten's figure disappeared once again, leaving her attack to hit the wall behind him.

Boom! A deep crater formed where her punch landed, debris scattering in every direction.

Kefla spun around, her gaze darting to locate Goten, and found him standing calmly a few meters away, his gaze level.

"Ha!" Kefla roared, summoning orbs of green and red energy into her palms. She formed five orbs in each hand, spinning them together before launching them at Goten.

Seeing the orbs hurtling toward him, Goten clasped his hands together, pulling them back as he focused his energy. "Kamehameha!" he shouted, releasing a massive beam of blue energy from his hands, colliding with Kefla's attack mid-air.

BANG!!

The Kamehameha clashed with the orbs, the two energies grinding against each other in a fierce struggle. But Goten's beam proved stronger, dispersing the orbs and barreling toward Kefla. She barely had time to react, raising her arms in a defensive stance as the beam struck her.

The force of the Kamehameha pinned her against a rock wall, her muscles straining as she resisted the attack.

"Ahh!" Kefla screamed, her face contorted in concentration as she poured all her strength into holding back the energy wave. After a tense moment, the Kamehameha dissipated, leaving her breathing heavily, her form battered but unyielding.

"Huff…" She panted, glancing up at Goten, who was observing her with a slight smile. His relaxed demeanor was infuriating.

Goten's voice was calm, almost playful. "Looks like this game's nearly over. Time to wrap things up."

"Game?" Kefla's face twisted in anger. "You think this is a game?" she snarled, her voice laced with defiance.

"Yeah, pretty much," Goten replied, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you think it's just a game…" Kefla growled, her fists clenched as a fierce aura flared around her. "Then I won't let it end so easily!"

She roared, her power surging as her ki spiked once more. The ground shook, cracks spider-webbing across the stage as her energy took form. Her hair remained a vibrant green, her body radiating a fierce, emerald flame-like aura. Her muscles bulged further, and her lightning surged with greater intensity.

This was Super Saiyan 2—Kefla's ultimate form.

"What?!" Goku's eyes widened as he felt the energy shift. Kefla had unlocked another transformation, her power climbing to new heights. Even the gods in the stands watched in shock, unable to ignore the sheer magnitude of her strength.

With a powerful yell, Kefla summoned a barrage of green energy orbs, each one glowing with deadly force. She launched them toward Goten, filling the air with a hailstorm of explosive blasts.

Goten smirked, his form flickering as he dodged left and right, weaving through the blasts with incredible speed. Each orb detonated upon impact with the ground, filling the arena with smoke and flames.

From above, Kefla grinned, watching Goten evade her attacks. "You can't dodge forever!" she shouted, launching herself down toward him with fists blazing.

But Goten, ever calm, prepared himself, ready to meet her assault head-on, his power surging as he anticipated the clash.
