As the battle raged on, the Z Fighters fought not only for their universe but for the entire multiverse. Every blow they struck resonated across dimensions, every ounce of power they summoned felt by gods and mortals alike.

In the end, it would be the strength of their bonds, the legacy of the Saiyans, and the teachings of Kei and Ignis that allowed them to overcome Aeon. The multiverse was saved, but not without great sacrifice.

Kei and Ignis, having fulfilled their purpose, faded into the fabric of the cosmos, leaving behind a world forever changed. The Z Fighters returned to their universe, stronger than ever, but with a deeper understanding of the forces that govern all of existence.

And as Goku looked up at the stars, he knew that no matter the challenge, they would always rise to meet it—together.
