DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

Jiren, despite using all his strength, was unable to resist the force of Goten's Kamehameha as it overpowered his fiery red energy blast. The combined energy surged forward, consuming Jiren as he struggled to withstand it.

BANG!!

The powerful Kamehameha broke through, colliding with Jiren in an explosion of light.

"Jiren!" Toppo and Belmod shouted from the stands, their voices echoing with desperation.

Suddenly, an immense roar filled the air. Jiren summoned every last ounce of his strength, his aura flaring to unimaginable heights. For a brief moment, his energy surged once more, causing both the Kamehameha and his own energy ball to dissipate into nothingness. But the toll on his body was evident. Jiren gasped for breath, his strength drained, as he fell from mid-air and landed heavily on the competition stage.

Goku, Vegeta, and the other Universe 7 fighters watched, expressions of surprise mixed with respect for Jiren's tenacity.

"Hehe," Frieza sneered, crossing his arms. "It seems there's no suspense left in this battle."

"Yeah," Goku chuckled, glancing at Frieza. "If we'd known it'd turn out this way, we could have let Trunks fight instead."

Frieza's eyes flashed with irritation. "Goku, what nonsense are you talking about? I helped take down several opponents for you!"

Goku smiled, his tone playful. "Frieza, I was just joking! Why are you taking it so seriously?"

With a cold snort, Frieza folded his arms again. "Your jokes are hardly amusing. And don't forget—you promised to help resurrect me."

"Of course," Goku nodded. "After you're resurrected, are you planning to come back to Earth?"

Frieza's expression turned dark as he replied, "I, Frieza, won't be so easily defeated, but…" Inwardly, he resolved not to return to Earth unless he was certain he could overcome Goten.

Turning back to the battlefield, Goku watched as Jiren struggled to his feet. Although Jiren had managed to cancel the Kamehameha, it had taken everything he had left. His strength waning, he took a moment to recover before charging at Goten again, refusing to surrender.

Goten, unfazed, prepared himself and launched forward to meet Jiren's final attack. In a flash, they clashed, fists and feet colliding with explosive force. The already ruined stage quaked violently under the weight of their fierce struggle. The intense energy radiating from them spread like waves, filling the air with a chaotic Ki that even those in the stands could feel.

"So fast," Krillin murmured, squinting as he tried to follow the battle. "Tien, can you see them clearly?"

Tien shook his head, equally amazed. "Not at all. It's beyond anything I've ever seen."

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Goten and Jiren stepped back, their hands blazing as they fired massive energy waves at each other. The sky and ground were filled with deafening explosions as their attacks clashed, thick smoke rising from every impact.

"Ah!" With a determined shout, Goten transformed into a flash of white light, appearing in front of Jiren in an instant. He drove his right fist into Jiren's abdomen with all his might.

Bang!!!

Jiren's body was launched from the stage like a streak of red light, hurtling into the void below.

"Universe 11's Jiren is out!" the Grand Priest announced.

Toppo and Belmod were stunned, their faces reflecting both surprise and a reluctant acceptance. After a brief silence, Toppo spoke, his voice heavy with respect. "You did your best, Jiren. We all saw your efforts, and we know you gave everything you had."

Jiren, having reappeared in the stands, nodded slightly, the disappointment in his eyes softened by his pride. As he looked at the Universe 7 fighters on stage, he burned the memory of this battle into his mind. Though he had lost, he was determined to come back stronger.

At that moment, the two Omni-Kings raised their hands, signaling the end. All of Universe 11's warriors, save for the angel Marcarita, began to vanish, their forms dissolving as the universe faced its erasure. Jiren closed his eyes, his final thoughts filled with conviction, before he faded from existence.

With the tournament concluded, the Grand Priest addressed the gods, his voice booming through the stadium. "The Tournament of Power is over. I now declare that the champion of the first Tournament of Power is Universe 7. They will also receive the Super Dragon Balls!"

The announcement echoed across the arena, and Goku's friends cheered in celebration.

"Congratulations, Goku!" said the Grand Priest as he floated down to him.

Goku nodded with a grateful smile.

"Now, Goku, what wish would you like to make with the Super Dragon Balls?"

Goku paused, glancing over at Goten. "Goten, do you have any ideas?"

Goten considered the possibilities, then spoke. "How about restoring all the universes that were erased by the Omni-Kings during the Tournament of Power?"

Goku grinned. "Great idea! Grand Priest, we'd like to make that our wish."

The Grand Priest's expression softened. "Are you sure?"

Goku nodded. "Yes, that's our wish."

With a nod, the Grand Priest summoned Super Shenron, the massive dragon that transcended galaxies. In response to their wish, Super Shenron's booming voice echoed through the cosmos, restoring each erased universe one by one.

As the universes were reborn, the two Omni-Kings descended from their thrones, hovering in front of Goku with excited expressions.

"Goku!" one of them exclaimed. "Your fights were amazing! Especially the one between Goten and Jiren!"

"Yeah!" the Future Omni-King agreed, nodding enthusiastically. "So, what are we going to play next?"

Before Goku could respond, Beerus and Whis appeared, with Beerus quickly covering Goku's mouth. "Actually, Grand Zeno, if there's nothing else, we'll be on our way."

The Omni-Kings glanced at each other and sighed, "Oh well."

Whis, noticing their farewell, waved his staff, and the halo above Frieza's head vanished.

Frieza's eyes widened in surprise as he realized he had been revived. Whis smiled, explaining, "Lord Beerus wanted to reward you. Consider this a gift."

Frieza glared at Beerus, who folded his arms and gave a dismissive snort. Though Beerus was a God of Destruction, he couldn't deny that Frieza's cooperation had been essential to their victory.

Whis chuckled at Beerus's attempt to maintain his superior demeanor.

"In truth," the Grand Priest revealed, "the Omni-Kings had planned to eliminate everything. Even if a universe won, it would have been erased if the winner made a selfish wish."

Beerus paled. "E-Erase everything?"

The Grand Priest nodded. "Yes. But since you wished to restore the erased universes, the Omni-Kings have chosen to spare you all. They believe that mortals can bring about change."

Beerus let out a sigh of relief. For a moment, he had thought their victory would be enough to secure their universe, but he was grateful that Goku and Goten's selfless wish had ultimately saved them all.

"Whis, you knew this, didn't you?" Beerus asked suspiciously.

Whis laughed. "My father instructed me to keep it a secret."

Beerus clenched his fists, muttering, "You sly…"

The Grand Priest stepped forward, his gaze sweeping across the twelve angels present. "Thank you all for your hard work in bringing us such a marvelous tournament."

With a final nod of respect, the Grand Priest watched as the universes began their journeys back home.

Back in Universe 7, Whis transported Goku, Frieza, and the others to Earth, where they celebrated their victory together. Cheers and laughter filled the air as they relished in their success.

…

Meanwhile, in Universe 6, Champa and his fighters found themselves revived, looking around in disbelief.

"Weren't we… erased by the Omni-King?" Cabba asked, his expression filled with confusion.

"I have no idea!" Arlic responded, shaking his head.

On the destroyed world of Universe 6, Champa appeared before Vados. "Vados, what's going on?"

Vados smiled, her voice soft as she replied, "It was Goten's wish. He restored all the universes that were erased."
