And sure enough, it was just as Son Goku had described.
Although Kale had suffered a heavy blow, in her current state, she displayed astonishing toughness. Her thick, rough skin seemed like an indestructible defense, making pain appear completely nonexistent to her.
"SHWAA…!"
With a thunderous sound, Kale suddenly erupted with energy from within her body, causing the surrounding rubble to explode outward like a rainstorm of stones.
Immediately afterward, she stood back up through sheer force of will.
However, unlike before, the current Kale emitted an even more tyrannical and overbearing aura.
Brilliant arcs of electricity wrapped tightly around her body like living serpents, constantly crackling and flashing.
Clearly, her power had risen and expanded even further.
For Kale, physical pain had not become an obstacle on her path forward. Instead, it acted like a powerful stimulant, awakening the endless potential hidden deep within her.
"Son Goku…" Kale softly muttered his name, her voice filled with anger and unwillingness.
Suddenly, she raised her head and let out an earth-shaking roar toward the sky.
"SON GOKU!!!"
The furious roar exploded like thunder across the heavens. At the same time, her body transformed into a streak of lightning, moving at a speed so fast it was nearly impossible to follow.
That seemingly clumsy, mountain-like body possessed an utterly unbelievable speed.
At this moment, in Caulifla's shocked eyes, Kale's silhouette seemed to become a bolt of lightning itself, so fast that it could no longer be tracked.
In the blink of an eye, Caulifla completely lost sight of Kale's movements. All that remained before her was a blurred afterimage of light.
Then, in the next instant, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted beside Son Goku.
BOOOOM…!!
The explosion rang through the entire battlefield like a thunderclap from the heavens.
Goku's body was blasted away like a cannonball. The terrifying impact tore through the surrounding air itself, creating visible shockwaves.
At this moment, the power Kale displayed had already reached a horrifying level. Even Son Goku in his Super Saiyan 3 state could barely withstand it.
Smoke and dust filled the battlefield.
Goku struggled to support himself as he slowly stood back up.
He reached out and lightly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of shock and seriousness appearing in his eyes.
"Wow… just as I thought… this girl is basically exactly the same as Z Broly…" Goku muttered to himself in amazement.
However, the moment his words fell… The thick clouds of smoke surrounding them suddenly began to churn violently, as if stirred by some mysterious and overwhelming force.
Then, from deep within the dust, a gigantic fist the size of a sandbag suddenly burst out like a bolt of lightning.
Before Goku could react, the massive punch slammed fiercely into his chest once again.
In an instant, a dull and heavy impact exploded across the skies like thunder detonating over the hill region.
THUD…!!
Unable to withstand such a devastating blow, Goku violently spat out a mouthful of stomach acid, forming a white arc through the air. At the same time, the pain twisting across Goku's face became clearly visible, while beads of sweat rolled continuously down his forehead.
"AAAH!!!"
Finally, Son Goku could no longer hold back and let out a miserable scream.
At this moment, far away inside the viewing room, Beerus witnessed the scene unfolding on the screen and immediately became anxious.
Grinding his teeth, he pointed furiously at the display, so emotional that he could barely control himself as he loudly cursed:
"Son Goku! You complete idiot! Hurry up and finish that opponent off already! What are you trying to do by wasting your stamina like this?! If you keep holding back and refuse to fight seriously, believe it or not, I'll destroy you myself!"
Beerus roared while stomping his feet in rage, looking both furious and exasperated in an almost comical way.
Seeing Beerus lose his composure like this, Whis merely smiled faintly and said softly,
"Hohoho, Lord Beerus, please calm yourself. You should refrain from saying such angry things."
The moment Whis finished speaking, a new development appeared on the screen.
At last, the Son Goku on the display seemed as if he had heard Beerus's summons. He finally stopped treating Kale as someone to merely test.
A crimson aura suddenly enveloped his body.
Watching secretly from the shadows, Caulifla's anticipation surged.
"Finally! Is it finally coming? Super Saiyan God!"
SHING…!
The red light scattered away like fragments of glowing dust.
Super Saiyan God stood before Kale.
"I have to admit, Kale, you've really opened my eyes. I originally wanted to fight you using Super Saiyan 3, but it looks like I'll have to use this form after all."
The moment he finished speaking, Goku assumed his fighting stance.
Kale, however, didn't care about any of that. She paid no attention whatsoever to Goku's words. All she knew was that although the person before her had changed colors, he was still Son Goku.
A savage roar burst from her throat once more.
Kale angrily raised her fists above her head, clasping both hands together as she leapt high into the air, her body arching slightly backward.
She had already locked onto Son Goku.
She was preparing to smash down on him with all her might!
At that critical moment, Goku raised a single hand.
Using a technique of overcoming great force with minimal effort, he placed his palm against her joined fists.
Most of the force was redirected away.
At the same time, he smoothly stepped closer, seized the muscles around her shoulder, and…
BAM…!!
With a clean shoulder throw, he slammed Kale directly into the ground. The entire sequence flowed as naturally as water, without the slightest hesitation.
Caulifla was completely stunned by what she had just witnessed.
It felt like she had seen Goku attack, because Kale had indeed been thrown down.
Yet at the same time, it felt like she hadn't seen him move at all, because his actions were simply too fast for her eyes to follow.
"W-What just happened…?"
Caulifla stood there utterly dumbfounded.
After being slammed down, Kale tried to stand back up. But the instant she rose, another punch blasted her away.
Goku pressed the advantage relentlessly, forcing Kale into a position where she couldn't even fight back anymore.
Caulifla sighed in amazement.
"So… this is the power of Super Saiyan God?"
"It's incredible…"
"I absolutely have to reach this form too!"
