Chapter 147 Legendary Super Saiyan Talent Activates, Power Level Soars
Soon, the next match arrived.
Cabba walked onto the stage.
"I forfeit."
Then he quietly walked off.
Although it seemed a bit absurd, the audience understood.
The gap was too vast... there was no comparison.
"Universe 6's Cabba forfeits. Universe 7's Aaron wins!"
"The next contestant to enter the ring will be Universe 6's final competitor... Hit!"
Vados said: "Even though only one contestant remains, if Hit goes, the outcome should be decided, right?"
Champa also said incredulously: "The living legend of the underworld, Hit the Assassin. I didn't expect him to participate."
Vados said: "His condition was that if he could win, he would be provided with a Cube."
Champa was shocked again: "What? You gave him that thing? Then he can go anywhere, even to other universes..."
Vados sighed: "It seems I really shouldn't have agreed to him. But Champa-sama, you said we had to get him to fight no matter what. Shall I go and refuse him now?"
Champa gritted his teeth: "It's too late to find someone else now. Never mind!"
Goku also focused on Hit.
"Finally, it's his turn."
Piccolo swallowed, saying nothing.
Both stepped onto the stage.
Aaron transformed directly into Super Saiyan God, not using Super Saiyan Blue.
Hit stood with his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of not knowing what an opponent was.
No.21 silently watched Aaron and Hit.
She wondered to herself, 'I wonder if Hubby can break his Time-Skip?'
Vegeta: "That guy opposite is not simple. I can't see through him."
Goku stared intently at Hit, his gaze flickering slightly. He remained silent, waiting for their match.
As the referee signaled the start, Aaron charged forward.
As his figure approached, Aaron threw a light punch.
Since it probably wouldn't land anyway, he saved energy for defense.
Just as Aaron's right fist was about to hit Hit, Aaron brought his left hand back to defend, blocking his heart.
The next instant, Hit had already struck Aaron's left hand.
Hit's pupils contracted as Aaron's right fist hit his face.
Bang!
Hit stumbled back a few steps, looking utterly incredulous.
"How is this possible?"
No.21's pupils contracted, surprised: "How is Hubby this good? He can even break the Time-Skip?"
Several other of Aaron's young wives were puzzled.
No.18: "What Time-Skip?"
Videl: "Didn't Hubby just punch him? What's the big deal?"
No.21 shook her head: "You'll see in a moment. Let's watch for now."
Beerus's gaze flickered: "What just happened? I didn't even see how Hit threw his punch. Whis, did you?"
Whis shook his head.
Hit still kept his arms in his pockets.
"Must be a fluke!"
Aaron curled his lip slightly.
"Right. Occasional off performances are normal."
After speaking, Aaron flashed forward again to attack.
0.1 seconds before colliding with Hit, Aaron pulled his hands back and crossed them in front of him.
After the Time-Skip, Hit's fist landed on Aaron's blocking arm.
Aaron swung his fist to counter, but only hit an afterimage.
The next instant, Aaron sensed it behind him.
But the strike didn't hit a vital point. Aaron flashed, putting distance between himself and Hit.
The first exchange ended. Both looked at each other.
Hit's heart was already in turmoil.
He hadn't expected his usually unstoppable Time-Skip to be ineffective against him.
Only now did the audience understand Hit's terror.
Vegeta asked: "Kakarot, did you see how he threw that punch?"
Goku shook his head: "No. Too fast? I couldn't see how he did it at all."
Krillin exclaimed: "What? Even Goku can't see it?"
Goku turned to Beerus and asked loudly: "Beerus-sama, did you see how Hit made his move?"
"No!"
Beerus's single 'No' sent shockwaves through the crowd.
Vegeta said incredulously: "Even Beerus-sama the God of Destruction can't see Hit's technique? What's going on?"
Goku said: "I feel like his attacks appear out of nowhere, like Instant Transmission. Even though I can use it too, I could never do it to that extent."
At that moment, Galactic King spoke.
"Perhaps it's Time-Skip!"
"In this world, only a very few individuals can make time jump, though only for about 0.1 seconds."
Goku was confused: "Time-Skip? I don't really understand."
"Put more simply, he can stop time for everyone except himself for an instant. Even though it's only 0.1 seconds, for masters like you, 0.1 seconds is enough to establish a huge advantage."
Everyone understood then.
"So Hit is that terrifying!"
"But Aaron could defend against his Time-Skip from the very beginning. That's also amazing!"
Beerus: "I get the feeling he knew Hit had the Time-Skip ability beforehand."
Whis said: "Perhaps Aaron sensed the impending danger and protected his vitals preemptively."
Goku was surprised: "What? He can sense danger coming?"
"I only say perhaps. Some people have the talent to sense something wrong before danger strikes. It's not a particularly rare feeling. Many people have it. Commonly known as a sense of crisis or sixth sense."
Goku: "That's amazing!"
Whis smiled: "The truly amazing one is actually Hit."
"Manipulating time... I didn't imagine he possessed the same ability as me."
Beerus smiled faintly: "So that's why I couldn't see his attacks. But it seems I don't need to worry. That boy Aaron hasn't lost a thing!"
"He really is full of surprises!"
Hit calmly watched Aaron, a small smile on his lips.
"You are the first person in my life who can break my Time-Skip. But resistance is futile. I suggest you surrender now."
"This time, I'll get serious."
After speaking, Hit took his hands out of his pockets and raised them in front of his chest.
Caulifla shouted: "Look! Hit's hands are out of his pockets! He's getting serious!"
Champa: "Our universe's top assassin is finally going to use his real strength?"
"Unfortunately, the match rules forbid killing moves. Hit must have been worried about killing him earlier, that's why he made mistakes."
"Clearly, these rules disadvantage Hit!"
Vados chuckled: "But Champa-sama, you made these rules!"
"Even so, I just went along with their suggestions. I couldn't be bothered to change anything!"
…
A new round began.
Aaron charged again, landing a solid punch on Hit's face. Hit staggered back a few steps.
Hit was startled.
"How did you..."
Aaron smiled: "How did I not defend against your next move? Don't I understand psychology? Will the same move work on you?"
Hit's lips curled into a smile.
"Very well. You truly are the best of Universe 7!"
"It seems you predicted my 0.1-second action and read my mind. Now it's time for you to see my full power!"
Hit clenched his fists and roared.
A powerful Ki surged.
Aaron's gaze sharpened, 'Had his Time-Skip upgraded?'
He didn't dare be careless, or Hit might disrupt his rhythm. One wrong move could lead to another.
He probably wouldn't lose, but getting beaten up wouldn't look good either.
Aaron also had infinite stamina and super-speed regeneration…
But those skills didn't make him immune to pain. Wasn't it better to avoid getting hit altogether?
Hit finished upgrading. Instead of continuing to defend, he charged at Aaron.
Aaron threw a punch.
As expected, he couldn't land it at all.
But Hit's punch landed solidly on Aaron.
Aaron retreated a few steps, but Hit's figure followed closely, throwing another punch at Aaron.
His speed was incredible, difficult to react to.
Aaron raised his arm to block, defending the same spot out of habit.
Blocking successfully, Aaron threw a counter-punch.
But again, he missed Hit.
Hit's figure seemed not to exist in the same space.
No time to think. Aaron knew Hit was using Time-Skip again. Aaron used an Afterimage Technique and flashed into the sky.
Instantly, Aaron's afterimage was hit by Hit.
Their figures flickered continuously, the fight going back and forth for a while.
The audience below watched, dazed.
Caulifla gasped: "Aaron's talent is terrifying!"
Cabba nodded: "Being able to dodge even Time-Skip attacks is truly remarkable!"
Goku's eyes brightened.
"I see! Even though Aaron can't use Time-Skip, he uses his immense speed to attack Hit, preventing Hit from dodging through agility and forcing him to use Time-Skip constantly. In the instant of the skip, Aaron also plans his next move direction. Truly amazing."
Vegeta nodded.
"Unexpectedly, his mind works pretty fast!"
Piccolo said in a low voice: "Facing this kind of technique, unless there's a significant power advantage, it would be impossible to achieve this."
"I think Aaron's advantage is based on his Power Level being far higher than Hit's."
Whis nodded.
"Piccolo is right. Hit's Time-Skip is deadly against opponents of the same level. But against Aaron, whose power far exceeds his, it's hardly an advantage anymore. Moreover, since Aaron's power is higher, Hit's time skip is effectively less than 0.1 seconds."
Vegeta took a deep breath.
'Strength is the real key. I can go Super Saiyan Blue too, so it should be similar for me.'
Krillin said: "Look, Hit is starting to pant, while Aaron is still calm. It seems like it will end soon."
No.18: "Mm-hmm, right. Panting means you're about done."
No.21: "…"
Aaron grew bolder as the fight progressed. The duration of Hit's Time-Skip seemed to shorten for Aaron.
As the fight continued, Aaron clearly noticed something strange.
It wasn't just that Hit was getting weaker... he himself was getting stronger.
With the intense fighting and frequent hits, the Legendary Super Saiyan talent took effect.
His Power Level was skyrocketing.
It seemed when he entered the ring, his base Power Level was a little over 2 billion, but in just a short while, it had already risen to over 3 billion.
'Sure enough, having strong talent is truly a terrifying thing.'
Smack, smack, bang, bang!
As Hit's stamina drained, his speed also slowed. Aaron grabbed him and delivered a brutal beating.
The audience watched helplessly as the evenly matched fight turned into a one-sided beating.
No.21 focused: "Hit's losing stamina, his speed is clearly dropping. The outcome is coming soon."
Bulma: "Even though I can't see the fight clearly, I know Hubby has the most stamina in that regard."
Instantly, the expressions of Videl, Vomi, and Yurin turned strange.
Yurin suggested: "How about the three of us team up and 'farm' him tonight?"
With a loud crash, Hit fell heavily to the ground.
Hit sighed deeply. "I concede!"
"We won!"
"Aaron won!"
