Chapter 174: Ramiris vs. Gohan – The Battle of the Unpredictable!
The battlefield shifted once more as Ramiris and Gohan were teleported into their designated combat zone. Unlike the previous arenas, this one was a chaotic, ever-changing space—a labyrinth of floating platforms, shifting gravity fields, and unpredictable elemental zones.
The moment Gohan arrived, he immediately sensed the dense magic in the air. It wasn't just an arena—it was a living battlefield, changing with Ramiris's will.
Ramiris stood on one of the floating platforms, her adult form radiating powerful ancient magic, her wings fluttering slightly as golden energy pulsed around her. She smirked at Gohan.
"So, you're the so-called Ultimate Warrior of your world? Let's see if you're as strong as Beerus claims!"
Gohan clenched his fists, his aura flaring with white energy. "I'm not one to take my opponents lightly. I'll give this my all."
Ramiris grinned. "Good! Because if you hold back, I'll make sure you regret it!"
With a snap of her fingers, the entire battlefield shifted.
The air crackled. The ground twisted. Magic circles formed in the sky.
Before Gohan could react, Ramiris unleashed a barrage of elemental attacks—
Giant lightning bolts crashed down from above.
Sharp ice spikes erupted from the floating platforms.
Blazing firestorms roared across the battlefield.
Gale-force winds blasted toward Gohan, threatening to send him flying.
Gohan's eyes narrowed. In an instant—
BOOM!
He vanished, dodging the ice spikes, weaving through the lightning, and punching through the flames with his raw strength.
Ramiris smirked. "Fast, but let's see how you handle this!"
She clapped her hands together, and suddenly—
The entire battlefield inverted.
Gravity flipped, and Gohan found himself falling upward, caught completely off guard.
"Damn!" He twisted mid-air, trying to adjust—
But then—
"Labyrinth Prison!"
A massive labyrinth of shimmering barriers materialized around Gohan, trapping him in an ever-shifting maze.
From outside, Ramiris chuckled. "Good luck finding your way out!"
She raised her hands, summoning torrents of darkness elemental magic, sending them spiraling through the labyrinth, aiming to crush Gohan within.
From his throne, Beerus chuckled. "Ramiris is using her domain to its fullest. This is a true test of intelligence and adaptability."
Whis nodded. "Indeed. This fight isn't just about brute force—it's a clash of strategy. Can Gohan escape before she overwhelms him?"
Inside the labyrinth—
Gohan closed his eyes, focusing. He could feel the walls shifting, the magic surging around him.
"This isn't just a physical trap… it's an illusion."
Suddenly, his aura flared bright white, his body vibrating as he tapped into his Ultimate Form.
His eyes snapped open.
"I see through your tricks!"
BOOM!
He punched the air with immense force, releasing a Ki shockwave that disrupted the illusion, revealing the real path.
He dashed forward at lightning speed, weaving through the closing barriers—until finally—
CRACK!
He punched straight through the labyrinth walls, shattering them in an explosion of energy!
Ramiris's eyes widened in shock. "What?! That was supposed to keep you trapped for way longer!"
Gohan smirked. "Not when I can break through anything."
He vanished, reappearing right in front of her.
"Your turn to be on the defensive!"
He unleashed a barrage of punches, each one causing shockwaves that shook the entire battlefield.
Ramiris barely had time to react, throwing up barriers of pure magic, but each one cracked under Gohan's sheer power.
She gritted her teeth. "You're fast. But let's see if you can handle this!"
She clapped her hands, and suddenly—
The entire battlefield turned black.
Gohan's senses blurred. His vision warped. He felt like he was floating in endless space.
"This is my Darkness Elemental Domain!" Ramiris's voice echoed. "In here, you can't see, you can't sense, and you can't react!"
From the shadows, giant spectral hands emerged, grabbing onto Gohan.
"Tsk!" Gohan struggled, trying to break free—
Then, BOOM!
A massive explosion of light erupted from his body, dispelling the darkness instantly.
He spun midair, locating Ramiris in an instant.
"Enough of your tricks!"
His aura erupted like a supernova as he powered up to Super Saiyan Ultimate!
Ramiris barely had time to react before Gohan charged forward, unleashing a devastating energy punch straight into her defenses.
BOOOOM!
Ramiris crashed through several floating platforms, gasping as she tried to stabilize herself.
Beerus raised an eyebrow. "He's more of a problem than I expected."
One of Beerus's wives, Zerna, smirked. "But Ramiris isn't done yet."
And indeed—
As Gohan prepared to finish her off—
Ramiris smirked.
"You thought you had me cornered?"
Suddenly, her wings spread wide, glowing with divine power.
"I was only playing around. Now it's my turn to be serious!"
A golden magic circle formed beneath her, and instantly—
Her entire body erupted with light magic, her aura rivaling even Gohan's.
Gohan's eyes widened. "This energy—!"
Ramiris pointed a single finger at him.
"Divine Drago!"
A gigantic golden dragon made of pure magic energy shot forward, its roar shaking the heavens.
Gohan gritted his teeth, gathering his own energy—
"Masenko!!"
The two attacks collided in a cataclysmic explosion, the battlefield torn apart as golden light and Ki energy clashed violently.
As the smoke finally began to dissipate, two figures stood firm amidst the devastation. Gohan, his aura still flaring with the remnants of his last energy clash, breathed steadily, his sharp eyes locked onto his opponent. Across from him, Ramiris, her adult form still shining with divine magic, floated above the battlefield, her wings shimmering with energy.
Both fighters had exchanged powerful blows, but neither had given in.
Ramiris smirked, wiping a small trickle of blood from her lip. "You're smarter than I expected, Gohan. Most people get lost in my labyrinth of magic, but you… you figured it out quickly."
Gohan cracked his neck. "I've fought too many battles to be fooled by illusions and tricks. You control the battlefield, but that just means I need to break your control."
Ramiris chuckled. "Oh? Let's see how you deal with this, then."
She snapped her fingers, and suddenly—
The battlefield collapsed into darkness.
Gohan's eyes widened as the ground beneath him vanished, and he found himself floating in an endless void. A cold chill crept over his body. There was no sky, no ground—just a vast emptiness stretching infinitely in all directions.
Then came the whispers.
Thousands of voices surrounded him, murmuring, laughing, taunting. The shadows shifted, forming grotesque figures, faceless yet familiar.
"You can't win, Gohan."
"You'll never be strong enough."
"You should have stayed home."
Gohan gritted his teeth. "An illusion again?"
He closed his eyes, focusing his mind. Ramiris was testing him, pushing him to see if he would break.
"Stay calm. Don't let her dictate the battle."
Slowly, he spread his senses outward, trying to feel the real battlefield beyond the illusion.
And then—he felt it.
A tiny ripple of magic, a fluctuation in the energy.
Gohan smirked. "There you are."
BOOM!
In a flash of golden light, he powered up to Super Saiyan Ultimate, his energy exploding outward like a sun. The sheer force of his aura shattered the illusion, revealing Ramiris standing just a few meters away, her hands still raised in a spellcasting stance.
Her eyes widened. "You… dispelled my Eternal Abyss so quickly?!"
Gohan smirked. "It wasn't real. And if it's not real, I can destroy it."
Ramiris narrowed her eyes. "Alright then. No more games."
She clapped her hands together, summoning multiple magic circles around her.
"Elemental Convergence!"
Instantly, fire, ice, wind, and lightning erupted from the circles, spiraling toward Gohan in a devastating vortex of elemental destruction.
Gohan dodged mid-air, vanishing and reappearing with rapid teleportation, but the magic adjusted to his movement, the elemental storm chasing him relentlessly.
Thinking quickly, he charged a concentrated Ki sphere in his palm.
"If magic can track me, then I'll give it a bigger target!"
He hurled the Ki sphere into the storm, forcing the elemental energy to latch onto it instead of him. The explosion that followed was massive, shaking the entire battlefield.
Ramiris gasped. "You redirected my attack?!"
Gohan didn't hesitate—he closed the distance in an instant, appearing right in front of her.
"You rely on your magic too much."
Before she could react, he unleashed a barrage of rapid punches, each one faster and stronger than the last.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ramiris barely managed to throw up a defensive magic barrier, but each of Gohan's strikes cracked it further.
She gritted her teeth. "Fine then… Let's go all out!"
Her wings spread wide as she activated her ultimate skill—Labyrinth Sovereign!
Immediately, the entire battlefield twisted and changed, forming an endless maze of corridors and shifting platforms.
Gohan's vision blurred.
One second, he was in an open space. The next, he was trapped between shifting walls, endless mirrors reflecting Ramiris from every angle.
And then—all of them attacked at once.
Hundreds of Ramiris clones launched magical blasts, forcing Gohan to block on all sides.
Gohan narrowed his eyes. "You're really trying to overwhelm me, huh?"
Instead of attacking randomly, he closed his eyes and focused.
Through his heightened senses, he pinpointed the real Ramiris's energy signature amidst the fakes.
"There!"
His aura exploded outward, disintegrating the clones instantly. Then, he vanished and reappeared behind the real Ramiris, delivering a devastating energy-infused punch to her back.
CRACK!
Ramiris crashed through multiple floating platforms, but she recovered mid-air, her magic healing her wounds instantly.
She panted slightly. "You're tougher than I thought."
Gohan smirked. "And you're craftier than I expected."
From the stands, Beerus watched with keen interest.
"That boy… he's adapting quickly."
One of Beerus's wives, Erza, nodded. "He doesn't just rely on power—he analyzes, counters, and adapts mid-fight. That's what makes him dangerous."
Whis chuckled. "Indeed. He's learned well from his battles."
Back on the battlefield—
Ramiris held out her hand, summoning a final attack.
"Divine Drago!"
A massive golden dragon erupted from her palm, its roar shaking the battlefield.
Gohan grinned. "Let's see if you can handle this!"
He cupped his hands, charging his own attack.
"MASENKO ULTIMATE!!"
Both attacks collided in a cataclysmic explosion, shaking the entire arena. The blast sent shockwaves across the battlefield, the entire planet rumbling under the force of their power.
For a moment—nothing but silence.
Then—as the dust cleared…
Both fighters stood, panting heavily but smiling.
Ramiris smirked. "Alright, I admit it… You're strong."
Gohan chuckled. "You're not so bad yourself."
Beerus grinned, leaning back in his throne. "That was a damn good fight."
Whis nodded. "And the tournament is far from over."
