Chapter 239: Perfect Self-Mastery, White God Goku!
“When Jiren was a child, he was once betrayed by a trusted friend, causing the death of his own parents right before his eyes…”
“Afterward, Jiren was saved by a wandering monk. He practiced diligently every day and, in the end, fought alongside his fellow disciples against evil. But tragically, all his disciples were killed, and his master died before his very eyes!”
“From that moment on, Jiren embarked on a path of becoming stronger… alone.”
“Becoming stronger meant being invincible. Becoming stronger meant never facing disappointment. As long as he won, his teammates would automatically gather around him. The presence of companions meant nothing to him…”
“This is why Jiren has always longed for greater strength…”
On the stands, the Clown God of Destruction spoke seriously, revealing Jiren’s past.
Around him, not only the people of Universe 11, but also those from Universe 7 and the other four universes who hadn’t participated were listening to the Clown God’s tale, each one falling into silence.
No one had expected that the seemingly invincible Jiren had such a tragic past that no one knew about.
On the battlefield, Jiren stood unfazed, facing the now Ultra Blue Goku.
Although his stamina had significantly diminished, he still felt confident in handling Goku.
“Trust is just a weakling’s excuse. Only strength matters. Regret that you lack the power to stand against me!”
Jiren roared, and for some unknown reason, his emotions seemed to be spiraling out of his control.
He unleashed a surge of energy!
The torrent of power shot toward Goku!
“Ha!”
Goku shouted, quickly gathering his energy into a Kamehameha, blasting through Jiren’s attack to create a path!
Boom!
With a powerful push, Goku’s feet shattered the already ruined ground beneath him, forming a deep imprint!
Goku swiftly moved through the narrow path and punched Jiren with great force!
Predictably, Jiren effortlessly caught the punch.
The two entered into an intense hand-to-hand battle!
Countless battles had already pushed Goku to his limits!
Yet, in this brief exchange with Jiren, he didn’t appear to be losing ground?!
The terrifying shockwaves from their clash spread out, with the surrounding rocks exploding into the air, raising clouds of dust!
“Goku, is this laughable ‘trust’ really what supports you to fight through every enemy, no matter the odds?” Jiren’s words dripped with sarcasm as he swiftly seized a gap in Goku’s relentless attacks and struck out!
By the time Goku realized it, Jiren’s punch was already upon him!
He could only watch helplessly as the punch collided with his body!
Boom!
A heavy blow struck Goku’s abdomen!
The impact created a deep indentation, as if a massive hammer had struck him!
His ribs were nearly shattered, and Goku felt his internal organs crushed together, an excruciating pain coursing through his body!
Pfft—
Goku spat out a mouthful of blood, his body rolling across the ground like a ragged sack.
The floor was stained with shocking streaks of blood.
“Goku!”
On the stands, the others shouted in alarm, witnessing Goku’s horrible condition!
Even Beerus, who had always desired victory, was now gripping his fists tightly, silent and tense.
Not wanting to lose was an obvious truth.
But the consequences of losing were dire. If they lost, Zeno would erase everything — not just Goku, but the entire Universe 7 would cease to exist.
However, at this moment, it seemed impossible for Goku to win!
Jiren was like a monster, unbothered by any battle or challenge that came his way.
And even with Goku injured, Feng Ye unconscious from a heavy blow, and Frieza nowhere to be found, they were no match for Jiren.
“Dammit!”
Amidst the rubble, Goku struggled to stand, blood flowing uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
He looked absolutely disheveled.
“Oh? You can still stand?”
Jiren raised an eyebrow, quickly flying toward Goku, appearing in front of him in an instant.
Boom!
A heavy punch struck Goku’s face, and blood sprayed from his mouth.
But despite the brutal force, Goku remained standing.
“Then I’ll send you down!”
Jiren spoke coldly, his fist poised without mercy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
Jiren’s fists rained down like a storm on Goku, who was unable to defend himself against the rapid attacks. His strength was too drained to counter.
All his remaining energy poured into his legs, barely keeping him standing.
“Goku!”
Krillin shouted from the stands!
He wished he could rush down and help Goku, even if he was no match for Jiren — his strength was no greater than that of a child.
The others watched, gritting their teeth!
“Dammit, at this rate, Goku is really going to be knocked out of the arena by Jiren!”
Piccolo clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
“Has all this effort been in vain…?”
Everyone was unwilling to accept the situation, but as they watched Goku being pummeled like a ragdoll, a deep sense of pity filled their hearts.
“Goku, you are a worthy opponent, but… I have to win!”
Jiren stared at Goku, who was now backed up against the edge of the arena, and a trace of respect appeared in his eyes.
But the survival of the universe was in his hands, and this small feeling of admiration meant nothing!
“Feelings like that, I discarded them long ago!”
Jiren shouted, his right fist charged with power, and he threw it down with all his might!
This punch would surely send Goku flying out of the ring, even if Goku regained consciousness!
Confident, Jiren struck with his full power, but what happened next left him in shock!
His fist moved toward Goku, but just as it was about to connect, it passed through Goku’s body!
There was no sensation of flesh being hit — just a strange, unreal feeling of emptiness!
“Wh-what… is this?!”
The gods of destruction in the stands felt a subtle pressure emanating from the arena. A name that terrified them slowly surfaced in their minds…
Self-Mastery Ultimate Technique!
Whoosh—
A sound rang out as Goku, having seemingly vanished, reappeared a few meters away from Jiren.
A mysterious silver-gray aura began to flare up around him!
And it intensified, soon enveloping his entire body!
The State of No Self!
The gods of destruction, especially Beerus, watched as Goku began to change before their eyes, his aura becoming something completely different.
Beerus clenched his fists, loosening them, and then tightened them again.
“The perfect state of Self-Mastery Ultimate Technique… truly, it’s taken long enough. Goku, you better make this count!”
Beerus couldn’t hide the smile creeping across his face as he watched Goku enter this new state.
“Oh—Goku has transformed again, into an entirely new form!”
On the thrones above, the two Zenos were watching Goku’s new transformation with excitement, shouting in delight.
“It’s called… Self-Mastery Ultimate Technique! What a cool name!”
“Yes, yes, Self-Mastery Ultimate Technique!”
