Kapitel 88: Ultra Instinct Reappears – Champa in Shock

"Ah! Then come!" Goten nodded.

Hit's basic strength wasn't very high, but his time-skip skill made him formidable. In a fight, sometimes even 0.001 seconds can determine the outcome.

Hit's time-skip allowed him to jump 0.1 seconds ahead, which was often enough to defeat stronger opponents. However, if an opponent's strength or speed vastly surpassed his, his time-skip would be ineffective.

Understanding the principle behind it, defeating Hit became simpler, as Goku demonstrated in Dragon Ball Super by surpassing Hit's 0.1-second time-skip with Super Saiyan Blue combined with Kaio-ken. His power surpassed Hit so much that the time-skip skill lost its effect on him.

Hit took his hands out of his windbreaker pockets. This was serious. He had never needed to fight seriously in the sixth universe, but against Goten, he had to give his all.

Whoosh!!

Hit's body vanished, completely disappearing from sight. Even his ki was undetectable.

"What? So fast! He disappeared right in front of me!" Beerus was taken aback. No matter how fast Hit was, it shouldn't have been possible for Beerus not to see him. Yet, it was completely impossible to capture his movements and ki as if Hit had seemingly evaporated from existence.

Only Whis looked calm!

Whis remained calm. As an Angel, he understood that it was Hit's ability to control time, jumping 0.1 seconds during attacks—Hit's signature time-skip skill. Few mortals could master time control, making Hit an exception. It was through this ability that he also established himself as the top assassin in the sixth universe.

And just when everyone was feeling extremely surprised, Hit reappeared behind Goten and aimed a punch at the back of his neck, a vulnerable spot that would knock anyone unconscious. As a seasoned assassin, Hit knew the body's weaknesses well.

The reason why he chose to attack from behind was mainly because if he wanted to launch a frontal attack, the chance of success would be very small.

A sneak attack from behind was more likely to succeed.

However, he underestimated Goten's speed and reflexes. The instant he punched, Goten sensed his position and tilted his head slightly, making Hit's fist miss.

Hit used his time-skip again, this time attacking Goten's throat from the front. But Goten blocked the attack with his right arm.

Whoosh, whoosh!!

Realizing the gap in their abilities, Hit pushed his time-skip to the extreme, creating countless afterimages around Goten, attacking like a hail of bullets. Yet, Goten dodged every strike effortlessly.

"Damn... Damn!! This guy's speed is too fast! Even with my time-skip, I can't touch him!" After several uses of his signature skill and not touching Goten's body at all, Hit was completely desperate at this moment!

The gap between their abilities was enormous.

Vados, observing from the sidelines, commented, "It seems that the outcome of this match is clear. Although Hit is skilled, the gap between him and Goten is too vast."

If he could ignore even the time-skip skill, then Hit had nothing special in front of Goten!

Champa seemed to accept his loss, his face gradually returning to calm.

After hundreds of attacks, Hit stepped back, his resolve unwavering. If 0.1-second time-skip was insufficient, he had to surpass it. He had always relied on his 0.1-second time-skip to defeat opponents, never considering improving his, because it never failed him before. But against Goten, he had to break his limits.

Hah!!

Hit roared, a purple aura bursting around him.

"What? Could it be that Hit can also transform?" Krillin and Trunks were surprised, seeing Hit's posture and the ki aura around him. The purple aura became more intense, making them suspect he might transform and become even stronger.

"No, he can't transform like a Saiyan," Whis clarified. "His aura hasn't changed, even though it looks like he's transforming."

"Indeed, his aura is the same as before, without any improvement! But if he can't transform, what's the point of doing it now?"

After feeling that Hit's ki hadn't changed, Krillin and the others became more and more confused. Was Hit trying to bluff Goten in this way? This was completely stupid. They could all feel that Hit's Ki had not changed in any way!

And just while everyone was speculating, the purple flames around Hit's body began to dissipate little by little. After his aura calmed down, Hit was exactly the same as before.

Goten could see the confidence in Hit's eyes. "It seems he's upgraded his time-skip skill. But even if it's increased to one second, this battle's outcome is already decided."

"Goten, I'll give it my best now," Hit said, having extended his time-skip from 0.1 to 0.5 seconds, a significant breakthrough. Meeting a powerful opponent like Goten had pushed him to this new level.

"Then come on," Goten replied calmly, which annoyed Hit. It felt as though Goten wasn't taking him seriously.

Hit snorted coldly and disappeared again. This time, his time-jump was more precise, his ki undetectable. Even at the moment of attack, Hit's ki could not be sensed!

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Hit's speed increased, hitting Goten a dozen times in less than a second. Although the attacks had no effect, Hit managed to land hits on Goten, proving his upgraded skill.

"So... so poweful!!"

"As expected of Mr. Hit! I can't see his movements clearly, and I can't feel his aura. But now he can hit Goten's body!" Cabba exclaimed, excitedly. "Maybe we have a chance to win..."

Vados and Champa, however, remained silent, knowing the gap between Hit and Goten. Despite the improved speed, Hit's attacks were ineffective.

That kind of attack, it felt like scratching an itch…

Bang, bang, bang!!!

After several more attacks, Hit reappeared, sweat on his face, panting heavily. His ki had become a little disordered, the 0.5-second time-skip consumed a lot of energy.

Seeing Goten unscathed made his expression grim. With so many precise strikes just now, this guy did not even move his feet.

'This guy's body is too strong. It's ridiculous!' Hit frowned tightly, secretly thinking in his heart.

'It seems that I have to gather all the strength, and finally launch the fatal hit. If that doesn't cause him any harm. Then there is no need to continue this match!'

He planned a final, powerful attack, hoping it would be effective. Hit gathered all his strength in his right fist, targeting Goten's chest. This was his final move.

Whoosh!!

Hit disappeared again.

Sensing something wrong, Goten's eyes narrowed. When he reopened them, a silver light flashed. A silver aura rose around him, the temperature of the entire arena started increasing. The moment they saw the change in Goten, Vados and Champa were horrified.

"That is... Ultra Instinct?" they exclaimed simultaneously, their tones filled with shock.

Hit's attack followed, but as his fist neared Goten's chest, Goten's body moved on its own, dodging perfectly. Goten grabbed Hit's arm.

"It's over now, Hit," he said, his voice flat. He gently struck Hit's neck with his other hand, knocking him unconscious instantly.

In a moment, the pupils completely disappeared, and the whole person lost consciousness directly. Then he fell limply to the ground...

"Mr. Hit?" "Hit?!" the sixth universe fighters were in disbelief. They had seen Hit land hundreds of attacks on Goten, but it had no effect. Now, Goten had seen through Hit's moves and defeated him with ease.

Meanwhile, the focus of Vados and Champa was no longer the outcome of this battle. Because when the attacks just now did not cause any damage to Goten, they had already foreseen the outcome of this battle.

But what shocked them was that, Goten seemed to have used the Ultra Instinct just now.

"Vados... did that guy use Ultra Instinct?" Champa asked, frowning. To him, that Ultra Instinct was an Angel's signature divine skill. Even among their 12 Hakaishin, only Beerus had grasped some of it.

Unexpectedly, that bastard mortal from the seventh universe also mastered the Ultra Instinct! And it looked like he was more proficient in it than Beerus...

This was simply outrageous! It felt like slapping the faces of all Hakaishin. Especially him, his face was even hotter at this moment.

"Yes, Champa-sama. It's not perfect, but it's Ultra Instinct. It's incredible that a mortal mastered it," Vados confirmed, still surprised.

In fact, every Hakaishin before had been exposed to the training for Ultra Instinct. It was just that their temperament was not very suitable for Ultra Instinct.

Therefore, among the 12 Hakaishin, only Beerus had reached the entry level. Unexpectedly, there was now another person from seventh universe who mastered Ultra Instinct. And it was surprisingly a mortal!

"Damn!! That skinny must have known about this before. This was a complete scam..." Champa glared at Beerus.

"How about it, Champa? Are you surprised and angry? Where's your confidence now?" Beerus mocked, taking the opportunity to tease the fatty. Now that he had such a good opportunity to mock Champa, he would naturally not let it go.

Champa's face was livid, his body trembling with anger. He couldn't refute Beerus's words. It would be just asking for trouble if he responded to his taunt now.

Whoosh!

At this time, Goten also withdrew from the stage, and returned to the audience stands of the Seventh Universe in a flash.

It was a pity he didn't acquire Hit's time-skip skill. With Vados's final announcement, the competition between the sixth and seventh universes came to an end.

[T/N: Here you go guys, killed the cliffhanger. The next chapters, I will release once I have drafted 4 of them, dunno what time though, it's not fixed.]
