One by one, shock crept into their expressions.
They could now feel it; Boros's power had climbed far beyond his earlier level. The oppressive force pressing down on the space was so immense, even breathing became a struggle.
Amid the whispers, Boros charged once more.
BOOM!
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
Catching Jiang Xi off guard, he sent her flying like a cannonball through the sky.
"Shinra Tensei!" (Almighty Push) She shouted, unleashing a vast repulsive force in every direction.
BOOM!
The shockwave blasted out violently, displacing the very air around them, but Boros sliced through the resistance in a blink and struck again.
BOOM!
Jiang Xi crashed into the ground like a warhead. But Boros didn't stop there. His speed spiked again and like a lightning storm incarnate, he rained down blow after blow on Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi's chakra surged violently, pushed to its absolute limit, but Boros's raw power just kept climbing.
Bit by bit, the momentum was shifting.
BOOM!
Her body slammed into the earth once more, leaving a crater in her wake. Before she could gather herself, Boros rocketed down from above.
"Chibaku Tensei!" (Catastrophic Planetary Devastation)
With a low, focused shout, Jiang Xi raised her fist, her eyes gleaming with blinding ocular power. Chakra exploded from her body, drawn from the deepest reserves of her spirit.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
Gravity twisted unnaturally around Boros. Below, debris and shattered earth rose into the air, drawn toward the point of singularity.
BOOM! BOOM! RUMBLE!
The dimensional space buckled as rocks, sand, and shattered fragments spiraled upward in a growing cyclone.
Boros roared, unleashing waves of raw destruction, vaporizing boulders mid-flight, but the gravity didn't stop. More mass was sucked in from every direction, wrapping around his body.
"AAAHHHH!!"
BANG! BANG! RUMBLE!!
Even with Boros's resistance, the crushing pull of Chibaku Tensei was relentless. Debris, energy, even space itself folded in on him. Bit by bit, he was sealed within a growing orb of earth and stone.
The massive sphere began to float high above, its size already rivaling the moon.
"...Is it over?" Someone from the observing crowd whispered.
One by one, the warriors of the Extraordinary rank began to relax, and hope beegan to bloom in their eyes.
But before that hope could take root,
BOOOOOM!
An earth-shattering shockwave burst from the core of the massive sphere, blowing it apart in a single instant. A tidal wave of pure destructive force surged straight for Jiang Xi.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Her face hardened, there was no time to hesitate. She raised her right hand high.
Chakra beads spun wildly in her palm, then converged, rapidly transforming into a towering golden lightsaber pulsing with divine energy.
BOOM! BOOM-RUMBLE!
The immense golden blade cleaved downward, slicing straight through the tidal wave of Boros's unleashed energy.
An earth-shattering explosion engulfed everything.
Moments later...
As the blinding shockwave faded away, Jiang Xi reappeared, still standing, though her breathing was visibly ragged.
Before him lay a colossal crater, stretching across nearly the entire dimension. The surrounding land had been utterly annihilated by the raw force of the Energy of Destruction.
It was clear that just moments earlier, Jiang Xi's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion had only barely managed to cut through Boros's devastating energy blast. If her attack had been any weaker, this battle would've ended right then and there.
"What an exhilarating fight! Defeating you will prove that I am the strongest being in the universe!" Boros's voice rang with excitement, his wild gaze locked onto Jiang Xi.
"You're strong. I'll give you that," Jiang Xi replied coolly. "But… the strongest in the universe? That's pushing it."
Her tone was calm, almost casual, even as her mind silently activated a hidden trump card, one she'd stored deep within her consciousness.
There was no need to invoke her older brother's power.
Not yet.
Instead, she tapped into a character card she'd acquired from the Dragon Ball world.
Her current base battle power had just surpassed 10,000...
But the card?
It held the terrifying might of One Million Battle Power.
Boros was no weakling. After trading blows, Jiang Xi had more or less assessed his power level, it hovered around 30,000 to 40,000.
Maybe slightly more, but it is definitely not beyond 40,000. Against a character card with a battle power of a million?
He didn't stand a chance.
Buzz!
As her mind linked with the card, a ripple of energy pulsed out from her body, shaking the space around her.
Then came the transformation.
The soft, pale-purple Chakra flames that had surrounded her began to fade. The three eyes on her forehead slowly closed.
Her form shifted, morphing into that of a female Saiyan.
And in the next moment, a savage, overwhelming aura surged from her very soul.
BOOM!
The sky itself seemed ready to crack open. A power level of over One Million exploded outward, rattling the entire dimension to its foundation.
"W-what!?" Boros's earlier bravado drained from his face in an instant, replaced by sheer disbelief.
For the first time in this fight, he felt it, he felt a real, suffocating dread.
This was power that shattered logic.
It is a true, crushing might.
But before he could react,
BOOM!
His pupils contracted as Jiang Xi's figure appeared right in front of him like a ghost, and a brutal wave of energy detonated from his abdomen.
BOOM!
Boros's eyes, still wide in disbelief, caught the moment his entire torso disintegrated into dust.
Yes, obliterated.
Everything was gone in a single strike.
There was no resistance. No counter.
Even his famed regeneration couldn't kick in fast enough.
Chunks of torn flesh twitched and squirmed, desperately trying to reform. But under the crushing weight of that monstrous energy, even healing was nearly impossible.
And time was something he no longer had as Jiang Xi raised her hand once more.
BOOM!
Another blinding wave of energy engulfed what little remained of his body.
"AAAAAH!"
Boros's final, tortured scream echoed through the air.
And then, there was silence.
His aura vanished entirely. A streak of light, pure and concentrated, shot straight into Jiang Xi's forehead.
Only once the light faded did she finally release the character card.
She didn't have a choice. Even in that brief moment of transformation, Jiang Xi had felt it, an uncontrollable surge of primal rage building within her.
Just like her older brother had warned her.
The Legendary Super Saiyan gene was awakening, drawn out by intense battle.
If she'd kept going... she might've lost herself completely.
Returning to her original form, Jiang Xi exhaled softly. She patted her chest, letting out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, her cheeks faintly flushed from adrenaline and restraint.
