Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Ultra Ego vs. Ultra instinct
The match officially begins.
Rados pulls a rubber band from her pocket and ties up her long hair. After securing it into a neat ponytail, her pure and lovely appearance gains an edge of sassiness.
"Dad, I'm ready."
"Alright, let's see how much your Ultra instinct has improved over the past few years."
In the next instant—
Whoosh!
Kahn and Rados vanished from their positions and reappeared high above the ring.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them clashed mid-air, a fierce exchange of blows. After years of Kahn's meticulous teaching, Rados had grown increasingly proficient with the ultimate expression of freedom. She could now use her extreme Ultra instinct in normal combat, demonstrating significant growth.
Even though Rados was his daughter, Kahn didn't hold back at all. He attacked from all angles, his strikes fast and fierce. As a result, Rados found herself on the defensive, quickly adapting and dodging.
"Wow!"
"Are they... fighting in the sky?"
"I can't even see them clearly."
"Who knows..."
The intensity of their battle left the audience in awe. While the previous bouts were impressive, nothing compared to the display unfolding above them. This was the true grand finale!
"It's a battle between my husband and Rados... I don't know who to root for."
In the front row, Bulma looked on, equally dazed by the incredible match.
"I'm obviously supporting Dad!" Shin, sitting next to her, spoke resolutely.
"Hehehe, even though it's right to support your father, Shin, Rados is the one who raised you. Don't you support her?" Vados teased.
"I don't support her!" Shin responded firmly. "She's way taller than me!"
"Pfft." Vados laughed, realizing that Shin was just jealous of Rados' height.
Though only two hours older than Shin, Rados was already over 1.7 meters tall, a few centimeters taller than Bulma herself. On the other hand, Shin was around the same height as Son Goten, maybe just a little taller.
Bulma quickly tried to comfort her daughter. "Don't worry, Shin, you're still young. You'll catch up to your father in a few years."
"But Rados is also only six!" Shin protested.
Bulma sighed, realizing her argument wasn't going anywhere.
Back in the arena, the battle between Kahn and Rados began to heat up.
Rados, fully prepared, used her ultra instinct based agility to dodge Kahn's intense attacks. However, despite her skills, Kahn's combat experience and precision were too much for her.
Finally, after a series of rapid exchanges, Kahn struck a controlled blow that sent Rados plummeting to the ground. But thanks to her quick reflexes, she adjusted mid-air and landed gracefully.
"As expected of a father!" Rados couldn't help but admire him.
She flicked the ponytail on the back of her head, smiling confidently. "But now, I'm serious."
"Go ahead," Kahn grinned. "Show me everything you've got."
Then, the atmosphere shifted. A heavy sense of pressure built up in the air.
The crowd fell silent, feeling the oppressive energy emanating from Rados. Even No. 17 and No. 18, sitting in the spectator area, could sense it.
"It seems like Mr. Kahn's daughter is about to pull something big," No. 18 murmured, her expression now serious.
The next moment, a silver-gray beam of intense energy erupted from Rados, blasting into the sky.
The crowd gasped.
"So hot!" one person exclaimed. "Is that a new attack?"
The energy beam burned with an almost blinding intensity, and the surrounding space began to warp and distort. The light was blinding, and the air was thick with pressure.
Rados' energy rapidly condensed, forming a silver-gray aura around her body. Her hair and eyes, already silvery-white, turned deeper, resembling Ultra Instinct.
With a calm yet commanding voice, Rados declared, "This is my Ultra Instinct."
"Not bad, but you're still not quite there compared to your father."
In an instant, Kahn released a burst of purple flames from his body. His own form of Ultra Ego—flared to life.
A profound shift took place. Kahn, once the calm father, now exuded an intense and dangerous aura, his energy erupting in a violent display.
Rados took a step back, surprised by the change in Kahn.
"Vados, what's happening? Why has my husband become so fierce?"
Bulma was also stunned by Kahn's transformation.
"He's so handsome!" Shin exclaimed, captivated by Kahn's imposing form. "I want to learn that too!"
Kahn, in his self-conscious state, turned to his daughter. "You have Ultra Instinct, but mine is different—a self-centered, raw power. Come, Rados. Let's compete."
The arena was charged with electricity as Kahn's purple flames spread outward, creating a whirlwind of destructive energy.
Rados, undaunted, flared her own power, the silver aura around her intensifying.
Then, for the first time, the audience saw two distinct energy fields clash—one purple, one silver—dividing the arena into two opposing forces. It was a perfect manifestation of the battle between self-consciousness and freedom.
The crowd held their breath, completely absorbed by the clash of these two overwhelming powers.
