Divine heat emitted from Goku's body. The essence of his body's desire to survive burned throughout it all . Vegeta lifted himself from the ground and took a view of the scenery for himself.

Vegeta: “That's..ultra instinct, but it's not completed like with Jiren.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NI4MIsEa
Kasai: “What… What is this pressure I feel? It's radiating from his presence!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZpVPGwoyJ
Kasai peered over to his fallen ally in shock.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmgSEbLnjh
Kasai: “Pouwar, she sustained the damage of multiple attacks and yet, I only bore-witness to a single blow…”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmYQtoUaeh
Krillin: “He's closing in on us!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHqJiECEF
Nozomu made light work of the team's attacks, burning and evading them simultaneously. He rapidly closed the distance between himself and the warriors.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvqspEJCzW
Piccolo: “Watch out!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c6wMfBJlI
Yamcha: “Huh!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LEXaNvtVq
Nozomu reached Yamcha, launching a fearsome punch in his direction. Piccolo intercepted the blow, taking the punch instead. The blow knocked the 2 on each other, causing both to fall. Nozomu switched his aim towards Krillin, delivering a kick to his face before he had any time to react.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7AdNdecR3
Tien: “Krillin! No! He made contact with him, he'll disintegrate in seconds!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiy1y15UfL
Tien crumbled in defeat, feeling the pressure of his failure tearing him down. Krillin smashed into a nearby tree. His cheek was engulfed in fire.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikGIPV1XMN
Nozomu: “That's one. Without the others around, giving you the same fate should be no issue.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCROolu5GGb
Tien watched Krillin, feeling shame for his failure to save his friend. His shame turned into shock after noticing a minor detail.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1P7ONVy0v
Tien: “Huh? The fire is going out!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd1a1mF0ij
Nozomu: “What? That's impossible!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvcNJO7iib
The flames extinguished themselves, leaving Krillin unphased from their heat. He struggled to catch his balance, suffering the effects of his injuries from the kick.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qXokMWlSY
Krillin: “Hehe, it worked…”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4y42RLaQ
Krillin managed to stand and joined his ally in the battle.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGAIstXlx9
Krillin: “Have you noticed something Tien?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQzTamUPJA
Tien: “Noticed what?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNAY92ZaT
Krillin: “He could've just hit us with some big fire attack and disintegrate all of us at once, yet he hasn't. It was just a guess but I was right, his fire can only disintegrate one thing at a time. Once it makes contact with anything, it disintegrates almost immediately. But it doesn't spread onto anything else. I had no choice at this point, it was either test my theory or die doing nothing. I placed my own ki around me as a barrier and compressed it all into the spot he attacked, his flames burned the barrier instead of me, unfortunately I can't say the barrier did much to stop the force of his kick. I'll definitely die if I take another one of those..”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfSMenpIXj
Tien: “I think we both know this already, but he probably won't go for just one blow this time. Whether we can or can't block the fire in time, the force of his attacks alone is enough to kill us. We have to keep him away as long as possible, even if the others aren't in a condition to fight right now.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKsUxATuhS
Krillin: “Well, we're out of tricks. Except one.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7xduGqxc6
Tien: “What do you have in mind?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjivioJsH7N
Krillin: “It's a technique I picked up on from Jackie Chun, or should I say, Master Roshi.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0WZoFxYko
Tien: “So you knew.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dhUzebNHj
Krillin: “Not at the time, but I put the pieces together eventually. You know Tien, since that day you fought my master, you abandoned the crane school and went down your own path. Despite fighting by our side, you've never been a part of the turtle school. Today, Imma need you to change that, if there's anyone who can pick up on this technique, it's you.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0J64fvse
Tien: “What technique?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAOcKhHSkd
Krillin: “Haaaaaaa!!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb56CWyjmrI
Krillin's hands lit up, they were surrounded with energy that flowed like electricity. His body tensed up as he focused all of his ki into his hands. Nozomu quit waiting for his opponents to make a move and took the initiative. He went in, prepared to end both of them swiftly.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwyFbDEVlN
Krillin: “Lightning flash surprise attack!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkf4y8MVd6
Nozomu found himself trapped by energy that took the form of thunder. His movements were constricted but his discomfort was minimal.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFYpyPqTs
Krillin: “It's a binding attack that's also supposed to cause the victim excruciating pain. His body naturally burns ki so the only way to keep him put is by constantly fueling the technique. I need you to do it with me, it's the only way to keep him put!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mH2k1gq4Z
Tien: “Hmm.. perhaps Master Roshi never taught me anything about fighting, but it's thanks to him that I've lived a fulfilling life of improvement. He's been a teacher to me too. His ways live within me even if it's not directly in the way I fight. I too am a representative of the turtle school way! And I'll die embracing that if I must!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNiturrtV
Tien charged his ki in a similar manner to Krillin, releasing the same binding wave of ki upon Nozomu. Nozomu became even more constricted, struggling to break free of their grasp.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zOVYa0xam
"Damn it! At this rate, they're forcing me to use my flames constantly! Each use gradually drains my ki, I'll run low if I continue like this!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgnr2JA1L
Nozomu grew frustrated with his situation. He pushed back against the bind, using his overwhelming power to burn his way through. The proud turtle school students struggled to keep the technique stable.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMldSug2X
Krillin: “Crap! Hold…on..just a bit.. longer!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasOHbIWSDN
Tien: “Don't give in yet, Krillin!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOcOvhxT0
The duo fought with all their might to keep their enemy in place, but the struggle was gradually shifting away from their favor. Nozomu was suddenly stopped in his tracks as he succumbed to a great inner pain and loss of control over his body.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV1cmGkNpi
Krillin: “What the-”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWJCNSjkXF
Tien: “Chiaotzu!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMhZoXUASF
Chiaotzu: “Hi Tien! I know you told me to stay behind, but I felt your power levels drop, I couldn't sit around and do nothing!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgcbNqdGw
Krillin: “Well you just did more than you know little buddy! Thanks to you, holding this guy down should be a breeze now!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeDAR3FE0l
Nozomu: “But how? How does his technique penetrate my flames?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdNGcFbwhx
Tien: “Your fire only burns through anything physical, even spiritual energy can generate physical mass, but Chiaotzu's psychic abilities don't work that way. Simply put it, you have no counter to his power.”

Kasai rushed Goku, attacking the godly saiyan with his all. His efforts were futile, Goku dodged and blocked everything Kasai would do. He grew frustrated, using different techniques for a chance at an opening. He tossed his flame rope, catching a hold of Goku's wrist. The calm warrior twisted his body, causing the rope to yank Kasai towards himself. He landed an elbow strike to Kasai's cheek. Goku's aura vaporized the rope, leaving the two a few feet apart just as they previously stood.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIu4cGYgoQ
Kasai: “Nothing I do can phase him! His aura over powers my divine flames as well!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeqBBFAYql
Goku didn't waste any more time and proceeded with an attack of his own. Goku raised his leg to advance but found himself having already crossed Kasai. Before Goku himself could perceive it, Kasai had already been dealt multiple blows. Kasai turned around to deliver a counter attack, but Goku's hand had reached him first. His fingers were carefully placed on his chest. Kasai had no time to react as he was caught by a deadly one inch punch that sent the rage driven prince crashing into a hill. Pouwar rose from the ground.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyKisDwUCr
Pouwar: “He's fast, but those attacks have gotten lighter from when he had blue hair! You hit like a princess-”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJGVzk9BRh
Vegeta: “Final flash!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZHAs893fT
Pouwar was slammed by the full force of Vegeta's ultimate attack. Having given it his all, Vegeta was left drained and Pouwar was knocked out.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDvhBPzF5R
Kasai: “Pouwar! ….I'll kill you! Criminal! This isn't about my people, or even Amaterazu! I'm going to kill you in the name of my father!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXjlHzhrUb
Kasai charged towards Goku at blinding speeds. He went in for a punch which Goku managed to dodge at the last second. The godly powered saiyan delivered a counter punch of his own, striking him in the ribs. Kasai's armor shattered along with some of his exterior scales. He spit blood from his mouth but ignored the pain and raised his leg up high.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBccB5vg8EC
Kasai: “Burning axe!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nnOPSSCSW
He lit his leg on fire and dropped it, slamming it down with incredible force. Goku leapt out the way even evading the surrounding flames from the impact. He got in two hits before creating more distance between them. The blows created more cracks on Kasai's skin. A bright glow illuminated from each crack. Flames burned from the cracks as Kasai continued his relentless assault.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAY2KWiP4B
Kasai: “Elegant flames of the sun!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOjmRpQZJ
He let out a barrage of precise and sharp blows from his finger tips. Goku slipped and made his way around every last attack but was beginning to get grazed by the heat emitting from Kasai's body. After some more swings, Goku found a short opening which he took advantage of immediately, landing a powerful kick to Kasai's stomach, creating even more cracks on his body. The kick sent him flying back until he caught his balance once again. Kasai extended out his arms and legs and shouted, releasing flames from the cracks on his body. Goku had just managed to block them but suffered a few burns. The flames continued as Kasai vented his frustration. Goku kept his distance before going in and flawlessly evading the flames and closing the gap between them. He kicked Kasai in the head, knocking him to the ground. Kasai immediately stood back up with a glowing crack on his head. He took heavy breathes before putting his palms together. Fire leaked from his mouth as he did.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pjkoE4QMd
Kasai: “Divine royal musket!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS0Z3A67Wb
He shot out a burst of fire shaped like a cannon ball from his palms and his mouth, straight to Goku. Goku focused his power into his fist, the strength built up until he released it all with one mighty shockwave shaped like a miniature silver dragon. The wave completely decimated Kasai's last ditch attack, catching him as well. He was slammed straight into a bunch of trees where he laid for a while. His pain distracted him from an occurance that would soon shock him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIpkm44v8F
Kasai: “No! No! No! My divine flames! They're… They're dying?!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOGMTjFiAp
The flames that engulfed his body gradually shrunk. He looked over at his comrades, Pouwar was out of commission, her flames had also decreased. Nozomu was under the mercy of the mighty earthlings, the fire that once illuminated his body had met the same fate.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiASKAqzaJ
Kasai: “But how? This fire is supposed to be undying, it was a gift from Amaterazu's will itself!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7xB6CGan
Kasai punched the ground, creating massive craters. Tears viciously ran down his face as he was overcome by his rage and sorrow. His flames had extinguished but his cracks remained illuminated.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkCnLSi1Cs
Kasai: “What the hell am I doing wrong? I've failed my father! I've failed my people! I've failed my God! But most importantly… I've failed myself… I'm really not a worthy successor of the great man that came before me. I'm just another pawn of fate's cruel game. Why must my life be the one overcome with grief and misfortune! Why?!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1ysJBS5L
"Kasai, my boy, you've seem to have truly lost your way."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WBhs53RZY
Kasai snapped out of his sorrow and turned to the familiar voice.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojFuYyvQxF
Kasai: “Father?? Could it really be you who graces me with your presence?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAcqmUV5XC
Modora: “Yes, my son. Even when our people fall, our will lives within the rest who remain. It pains me to see you in such a state, my son.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NI5wENlBL
Kasai: “Father.. I've failed you, I've failed everyone. All I wanted was to make you proud and to become the leader our people needed, to become the beacon of which Amaterazu would rise. But that man, he took you from me, he took away my chance to ever get your approval, and now, he's going to take away everything else. I don't know what to do anymore, Father. I think Amaterazu has abandoned us….”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x3ffKe3mO
Modora: “You are mistaken, my boy, all is not yet lost. I didn't lead my people through wisdom and power alone, I also led them with hope. Their hope and my own. That is Amaterazu, hope. You've been searching for him all along but the truth is my son, Amaterazu lives within all of us. Only the ones who can truly grasp such a concept will have the blessing to bring him out.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfkigQNr6h
Kasai: “But if that's the case… why didn't you bring him out sooner?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGx6mE8tCq
Modora: “Perhaps I could have if I truly sought it out, but I had always known you were the one more fit for the role. Who was I to deny you of your fate?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJIsEimbao
Kasai: “I understand now, Amaterazu has not abandoned me, it is I who abandoned him and in return led my allies down the same path. It is my responsibility to take that back. Amaterazu is within me, within all of us. The hope of my people rests within me, I shall answer their prayers by embracing our beloved diety!”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZpncNxERB
The cracks in Kasai's body let out a brighter glow than before. His skin cracked further as pieces of it began to fall apart. Pouwar and Nozomu were suddenly experiencing the same phenomenon. Pouwar's body rose from the floor and Nozomu's body was freed from the bind.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W2uBXY7cz
Krillin: “What the hell is going on!?”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLGlNKXRc
Modora: “That's right! You have found your way, my son.”
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVj0aygNF1
A divine light shone from the cracks of the trio's bodies. Their skin cracked open like a shell, revealing bright silhouettes of themselves. The illuminated constructs merged into one, releasing one last incredible glow. A dragon like figure emerged from the glow. Its eyes glowed in a way that matched the blazing fire that burned endlessly from its forearms. It wore a shiny golden armor that perfectly suited its body. The heat emitted from its mere presence created tears in space time, causing inexplicable phenomenons. Its voice echoed with a sound of divinity.
