Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Moro versus Goku
I didn't want to just abruptly leave without telling them so once the whole party at the king's castle was over and the guild was together at the guild hall, I talked with the Fairy Tail guilds main people.
Sage: Founder Mavis and Master Makarov, thank you for your guidance in the ways of magic.
Ezra: From how you sound it looks like you are planning on leaving us.
Sage: In a way but I will come back. You guys have that Acnologia to deal with right? That's what the Future Rouge said.
Natsu: Yeah, he said he wanted to be the new Dragon King so that he has enough power to kill Acnologia.
Makarov: So, do you know where you will be going?
Sage: Oh, I'm not traveling to see new sights. Thanks to your and Founder Mavis' teachings I can confront the enemy we first spoke about.
Mavis: I see. I still doubt that anyone can stand up to you but if the guild is ever in danger I hope you will be back.
Sage: Without a doubt.
Everyone threw me a party even though they didn't have to. They throw parties regardless anyway so it didn't matter. I cooked for them and we all drank. Once everyone was down and out, I grabbed my things, left half of what I got the 100 year Job Request to Makarov and walked just outside.
Mirajane: So, you are leaving just like that?
Sage: You were nowhere to be found. I wanted to look for you but they kept forcing drinks on me.
Mirajane: Yeah haha, they are kinda pushy like that. So, are you just gonna leave without doing anything?
Sage: I was going to leave but now that you showed up I have to take a souvenir. What about you Ezra? Are you just gonna stay hidden and not say anything or do you wanna join us?
Ezra walked out after being exposed with a red face. At first she just walked out but Mirajane went up to her and started to pull her along. We went to Ezra's home because Mirajane lived with her siblings and I know we were going to make noise. Afterward I gathered my things, opened a portal and headed back to the Dragon Ball universe. I did have some fun and those two almost wore me out, I even took a Senzu bean. While in the portal I ate some of the dragon meat that I was able to cook until I reached my destination.
After re-energizing, I hid my strength and calmly stepped out of the portal. I was on Earth but a distance away from the action. I scanned the Earth to find out where everyone was and located Goku's Ki. I teleported near his location at a distance. I knew that even if I hid my Ki that Moro would still know that I was there since he can sense life in general but I lowered my strength so that it can mix with the environment. Since arriving, I can better see without my Rinne Sharingan, the magicules that Moro uses to drain everything. I can better guard myself now since learning magic so it no longer affects me. I got close enough to observe the fight between Moro's henchmen, Saganbo and Goku, which were in the initial stages.
Goku and the other Z-fighters were gathered except for Vegeta. Most of the escapees were captured except for the Saganbo, Seven-three, Shimorekka and of course Moro himself. Goku was beating the shit out of Saganbo at a high speed but among the Z-fighters there was also the Galactic patrol, so only Gohan could sense Goku and Jaco could see him. Saganbo's only strong suit against Goku was his durability so he could withstand hits from Goku in Super Saiyan Blue form. When Goku was unseen by everyone but the few, Goku was in Migate no Gokui form but only in its starting phase. Moro kept giving Saganbo power until he seemingly died of an overdose. Moro knew what Goku used when he started fighting and goaded Goku to fight him in that form.
At a glance, Goku learned the beginning stages of Migate no Gokui (Ultra Instinct). His hair was highlighted in silver but not completely not to mention the drain on his energy was huge. If he were in the real state of Migate no Gokui, the same one in the Tournament of Power, his hair would be completely silver and the energy consumption not as taxing. I have no idea why or how Goku regressed to the stage but it didn't help that he wasn't ready and fought Moro in that state. Goku had the upperhand in speed, that was certain, but Moro on the otherhand looked way younger then when I left, he still has the goat face though. I saw that Moro's magic wasn't working much on Goku while he was using the initial stages of Migate no Gokui, I guess God type Ki can not be affected completely if one is careful but using too much is a serious drain so I never went all out before.
Goku was beating Moro but from sensing the drain on Goku's stamina and energy, it wouldn't last long. Before Goku and Moro's fight came to an end, to mess with Moro, I started to coat the planet with a mixture of Haki, Ki, magic and Hunger intent. By coating the Earth with Haki, Ki and magic I could block Moro from draining it, not to mention reinforcing the Earth and by adding Hunger intent from Food Honor, I can help the Earth drain the energy back from Moro. I made the hunger intent as extreme as I could to get the most out of it. In order to get the intent right, I pictured the Earth draining Moro until he fades like dust in the wind. The only draw back is that the moment Moro tries to slightly drain the Earth and it bites him back he will know what is going on. I didn't care though, I just wanted to see that goat bastard suffer. Goku had the advantage but he couldn't maintain the form and started to quickly lose. Goku was using his speed but the power wasn't there so no matter how many air pressure hit he gave Moro it didn't amount to much.
Moro: What's wrong? You seem so eager to be done with this. You believe you found a way around my energy absorption…but you've made a grave error. I only consume energy to fill my stomach. Weakening my opponents and strengthening myself are only fortunate side effects not the primary goal. As such, I will happily devour your energy after you're defeated.
Goku: Defeated? How?
Moro: You thought this was all I could muster? You fool.
Jaco: What? What did Moro say just now?
Piccolo: Moro hasn't been fighting at full strength?!
Moro: HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!! I've consumed countless planets since our last encounter. All of which have filled me with enough power to transcend the very gods.
Gohan: T-that Ki!!
Piccolo: It's enormous! To a terrifying extent!
Moro was now too much for Goku to handle. If anything became too serious I would step in but I wanted to wait my turn. Moro grabbed Goku from behind and drained him of energy.
Moro: Now I see why you didn't use this against Saganbo, it's because you can't maintain it for long. I was waiting for your inevitable decline.
Goku: I should've realized you already figured out my weakness. But still, if you were just stalling for time, that means you don't think you can beat me when I'm at full power, huh? And if I can keep hitting you with all I've got, I can win this. HHHHAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! Sorry, Merus. But a stamina balancing act during battle just isn't my style.
Moro: So you still had some power left. Good. Now I'm intrigued.
