Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Goku Mastered His New Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan 4 Form

(We see that Xicor and Xeno Gogeta have sacrificed themselves, causing a massive explosion.)

(Amidst the chaos, Daria escapes, carrying Cumber with him.)

(At the same time, another figure appears and quickly takes Gohan away from the battlefield.)

(After the explosion, neither Xicor nor Xeno Gogeta are anywhere to be seen.)

(The scene then shifts to Gohan, who looks shocked and says.)

Gohan: "Wait... you? But how are you here at a time like this?"

(As the figure steps forward, we see that it's none other than Broly.)

(Broly looks at Gohan seriously and says.)

Broly: "Gohan... there's a lot I need to tell you... about Vegeta... and Goku."

(Hearing this, Gohan says.)

Gohan: "I already know everything about them, Broly. Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta told me everything. But what I don't understand is... where have you been all this time?"

(To this, Broly replies.)

Broly: "For the time being, I've been training inside a special dimension created by the Grand Priest himself. I wanted to increase my strength... so that I could face all of them when the time came. But... I have no idea what exactly is going on right now."

(Hearing this, Gohan says.)

Gohan: "No... do you know whether the Xeno Warriors are dead or still alive?"

(Saying this, Gohan tries to walk in that direction, but his condition is really bad.)

(Broly immediately says.)

Broly: "Calm down, Gohan. Whatever they did... they did it for the sake of our multiverse. That's why... we cannot let their sacrifice go in vain. No matter what... we must protect this multiverse."

(Hearing this, Gohan responds.)

Gohan: "But how are we supposed to do that? Where's Dad right now? And Vegeta... I don't even know where they are or what's happened to them."

(Hearing this, Broly says.)

Broly: "Let me tell you where Vegeta took Goku... It's a kind of special training portal, created by the Grand Priest himself. Vegeta took Goku there so that he could help calm Goku's mind... and also so that both Goku and Vegeta can grow even stronger. That's why right now, we have to be careful... because there's no one left to help us."

(He pauses for a moment and then adds.)

Broly: "And yes... I've already become stronger than before. What about you, Gohan? Have you also grown stronger since before?"

(To this, Gohan replies.)

Gohan: "Absolutely, Broly. When I found out that you, Dad, and everyone else were going separate ways, I immediately started my training inside the Time Chamber. And during that time... I managed to unlock my Beast Form. But the enemies we're fighting... these Saiyans... they're unbelievably powerful."

(Hearing this, Broly responds.)

Broly: "You're right, they are powerful... but an even bigger threat is approaching us. The Grand Zeno told me that there are Omni-Kings from other Multiverses who are also watching over our multiverse right now. And they might arrive here as well. That's why we need to be fully prepared, Gohan."

(After hearing all of this, we see Gohan standing silently, clearly shocked by the revelation.)

(After that, we shift to Daria and Cumber.)

(Daria is visibly furious, and Cumber looks shocked by everything that just happened.)

(Cumber then speaks.)

Cumber: "What... what exactly just happened, Daria? Did Xicor really... sacrifice himself?"

(Hearing this, Daria grits his teeth and says angrily.)

Daria: "Calm down. I know exactly what happened back there. But why... why did that fool Xicor have to go that far? I could've stopped them easily if I wanted to. He knew that... so then why did he do it? Xicor... that idiot...!"

(Cumber, still confused, responds.)

Cumber: "But... maybe Xicor did it to stop your illness from flaring up again... Maybe... he sacrificed himself just to save you. But why? Why did you bring me here and just leave him behind? You could've saved him, couldn't you?!"

(Hearing this, Daria looks at Cumber and says firmly.)

Daria: "Cumber, I've told you this many times before you've only recently joined us. You don't know anything about us. You don't know how ancient our goal truly is millions of years in the making. But Xicor knew... he knew that as long as I'm alive, we will complete our mission, no matter what. And that's exactly why Xicor sacrificed himself so that I could survive. But Xicor... I promise you... I won't let your sacrifice go to waste. Soon, all of them will come here... and after that, not even Zeno or any God of this Multiverse will remain alive. Even the Grand Priest won't be spared. We will have our revenge."

(Seeing all this, Cumber clenches his fists and thinks to himself.)

Cumber [in mind]: "I don't know why... but when that Saiyan Prince Vegeta showed up... I felt something strange in his power... What was that?"

Cumber: "Looks like we'll have to prepare as well, Daria. But where are the others... the ones who came with us into this multiverse? Where are they now?"

(Hearing this, we see that Daria doesn't say a word and just stands there silently.)

(After that, the scene shifts to the portal where Goku and Vegeta are undergoing their training.)

(We see that Goku still doesn't realize that Vegeta has brought him into this portal specifically to train him.)

(Both of them continue clashing their powers, matching each other blow for blow.)

(Goku remains unaware, but gradually, his power keeps increasing.)

(Meanwhile, Kaguya also slowly starts sensing this rising energy from afar.)

(At that moment, Vegeta speaks.)

Vegeta: "Tell me, Kakarot... who was that person you met back then? The one who changed you completely? Bardock told me that aside from meeting your father, you met someone else... and ever since then, you've been different. I want to know understand? Otherwise... I'll finish you off right here."

(Hearing this, Goku says,.)

Goku: "Alright, Vegeta. I know you won't let me leave this place until you find out who I met that day. So listen I did meet my dad back then... but after that, I also met my mother, Gine. And yes, I was really happy to meet her. But at the same time, when I saw tears in my mother's eyes... that's when I realized what she and countless other innocent Saiyans must have endured back then. I don't want much, Vegeta... I just want to bring my father and mother back... and I want to restore our entire Saiyan race."

(Hearing this, Vegeta says.)

Vegeta: "Oh, so that's the reason you've changed, Kakarot. But let me tell you something while you're doing all this, you know very well that if you go through with it, many Saiyans will return... but not all of them were good people. Your father must have told you this, right? Those evil Saiyans will come back too. Have you even thought about that, Kakarot?"

(Hearing this, Goku says.)

Goku: "Right now, I don't care about any of that, Vegeta. All I know is that I will bring back all those innocent Saiyans, no matter what it takes. And what... you think I haven't figured it out yet? This is some kind of special training room, right? Probably made by Grand Zeno or maybe even the Grand Priest himself. But bringing me into this training room... Vegeta, that was your biggest mistake."

(Hearing this, Vegeta is completely shocked, and at that moment, we see Goku drastically increasing his power.)

(Vegeta watches in disbelief as Goku once again transforms into his new Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan 4 form.)

(Goku then says.)

Goku: "Thank you, Vegeta... because now, with this new power of mine, I'll be able to fight Daria, Xicor, Cumber all of them. And I'll uncover the truth about the Father of Saiyans as well. I really owe you one."

(After saying that, Goku begins to walk away, but Vegeta quickly steps in to stop him.)

(However, Goku suddenly launches a powerful attack at Vegeta.)

(His speed in this new form is so great that Vegeta can't even see the strike coming.)

(Vegeta is sent flying back, injured, and crashes at a distance.)

(Then Goku says.)

Goku: "Vegeta... you and I, we were good friends once... and maybe we will be again. But let me tell you one thing don't ever make the mistake of standing in my way again."

(After that, Goku powers up further, and suddenly, a strange portal opens up before him.)

(Goku steps into it and leaves that dimension.)

(Seeing this, Vegeta is completely shocked, and he says.)

Vegeta: "No... why is Kakarot doing this? Has he truly gone insane? I should've been more careful... If Kakarot gained this much power, there was always the risk that he might misuse it. But why? Why would he do this? But no matter what happens, Kakarot... I will stop you."

(Right after that, the scene shifts to Cumber and Daria.)

(We see Daria still deep in thought about Xicor, and then Cumber speaks up.)

Cumber: "I know, Daria... Xicor was an incredibly valuable asset for us. But now what? We don't have anyone else like Xicor anymore. That insane strength of his... that attitude... he could defeat anyone who stood before him. But why did he do it? Why did he sacrifice himself like that?"

(Hearing that, Daria finally speaks.)

Daria: "I know... We have no one who can truly replace Xicor. But yes, one thing is also true Xicor isn't someone who could die so easily. He possessed a special kind of technique... one that could either kill his opponent or destroy himself along with them. I don't know exactly which technique Xicor used at that moment... but what Xicor did for us... we can never forget that sacrifice. However... we do have someone who can take Xicor's place..."

(Just then, they all hear a voice echoing around them.)

???: "You're absolutely right. I knew you'd be thinking about me... isn't that so?"

(We see Cumber turn, slightly shocked.)

Cumber: "W-What? Wait... is that...? Did I get that right?"

(To this, Daria smirks and says.)

Daria: "Yes... you recognized him correctly. This is the one... the one who killed the King of Everything of that multiverse."

(And then, we finally see that mysterious figure... standing there, laughing Evilly... unbothered... confident... just smiling.)
