Chapter 38: Clash of the Titans
The arena trembled as Rack and Gogeta Divine locked eyes, each sizing up the other's power with intensity. The air between them sparked with energy, a mix of purple, red, and divine blue hues dancing in chaotic harmony. Every spectator, from gods of destruction to angels, watched in silent awe as the two towering warriors prepared to unleash their full might.
Rack's grin widened. "A fusion of Saiyans. I admit, you're quite the spectacle." He flexed his arms, igniting his purple-red aura until it surged like a violent storm around him. "But even the strongest fusions are nothing against me!"
Gogeta Divine's calm gaze did not waver. "Talk all you want, Rack. You're about to see what happens when Saiyan power meets divinity."
Without a moment's hesitation, Rack lunged forward, his speed so intense it nearly defied perception. Gogeta Divine barely had time to react, crossing his arms just in time to block Rack's vicious strike. The impact sent shockwaves that tore through the arena, fracturing the very ground they stood on.
Rack laughed, his crimson gaze gleaming. "This is what I live for! Let's see you handle this!"
He launched a barrage of blows, each one more powerful than the last. Gogeta Divine dodged and countered with finesse, his movements fluid and precise, each dodge followed by a powerful retaliatory strike. The clash of fists echoed through the arena like thunder, leaving trails of broken ground and sparks of energy.
Gogeta Divine darted forward, his fist connecting with Rack's midsection with a force that sent the villain hurtling back, crashing into the arena walls. Rack emerged from the rubble, unscathed and grinning.
"Is that all you've got?" he taunted, wiping a nonexistent speck of dust from his shoulder.
Gogeta Divine's eyes narrowed. "You haven't seen anything yet." He powered up, his divine aura flaring as he charged at Rack, unleashing a series of rapid-fire punches and kicks that forced Rack to go on the defensive. The fused Saiyan's strikes were relentless, each one brimming with precision and strength, but Rack countered each blow with equal power, blocking and parrying with terrifying ease.
Rack's voice was cold and mocking as he dodged a powerful kick. "Impressive, but predictable. You think raw power can defeat me?"
Rack's aura flared again as he sidestepped Gogeta Divine's next attack, disappearing and reappearing behind him with blinding speed. With a sudden surge of power, Rack grabbed Gogeta Divine by the arm and hurled him across the arena. Gogeta Divine spun in midair, righting himself before touching down, but Rack was already upon him, delivering a bone-crushing punch to his side.
Gogeta Divine winced, but the pain only fueled his determination. "I didn't think I'd need this so soon," he muttered, focusing inward as his aura shifted, brightening until it shone with a radiant silver-blue glow.
Rack's eyes widened slightly. "Interesting... Ultra Divine Ego in fusion form. Show me what you can do!"
With renewed power, Gogeta Divine charged forward, his speed and strength enhanced. The arena shook as they exchanged attacks, each one more devastating than the last. Rack's laughter faded as he struggled to keep up with Gogeta's newfound agility and power.
"Your arrogance will be your downfall, Rack!" Gogeta Divine shouted, driving a knee into Rack's stomach, followed by a powerful uppercut that sent him flying back.
Rack landed on his feet, his gaze colder now. "Enough of this game," he growled, his aura intensifying. "You think you can push me to the edge? I'll show you true power!"
With a roar, Rack's energy exploded outward, swirling around him in a hurricane of purple and red. His body seemed to grow darker, his aura shifting into something even more chaotic and malevolent. It was clear he had unleashed a portion of his deeper reserves, pushing his own limits to keep up with Gogeta Divine.
The spectators watched, awestruck, as the two warriors faced each other once more, now evenly matched in strength and speed.
The arena trembled as they clashed again, their auras flaring brighter with each hit. Their fists connected, creating shockwaves that echoed across the arena, the intensity of their power causing the ground beneath them to shatter with each exchange.
Rack smirked as he blocked a punch and countered with a spinning kick that grazed Gogeta Divine's shoulder. "You can't last forever," he sneered. "Sooner or later, you'll reach your limit, and I'll be standing over you in victory."
Gogeta Divine clenched his fists, refusing to let Rack's taunts get under his skin. "If that's the case, I'll just have to finish you off before that happens!" He focused his energy, his aura blazing even brighter as he launched a series of rapid attacks, forcing Rack on the defensive once more.
For every strike Gogeta Divine delivered, Rack countered with equal force. The battle was a dance of power and skill, neither fighter willing to back down. As the dust and energy swirled around them, it was clear that this was a fight that could only end with one of them standing victorious.
With one final clash of fists, they both staggered back, breathing heavily but still ready for more. Their eyes locked, each one silently acknowledging the other's strength.
Rack smirked, wiping a trickle of blood from his lip. "You're better than I expected, Gogeta," he admitted, his voice laced with grudging respect. "But this isn't over. Not by a long shot."
Gogeta Divine stood tall, his expression resolute. "Bring it on, Rack. I'm just getting started."
As they prepared to engage once more, the entire arena watched, holding their breath as the epic clash between Gogeta Divine and Rack continued, both warriors determined to prove their strength and emerge victorious.
