Abyss possesses the ability to control darkness and manipulate reality, making him an overwhelmingly powerful opponent even without traditional physical powers. While Future Gohan exhibits remarkable skills and determination, the sheer scale of Abyss’s abilities far surpasses any tactical advantage or combat skill Gohan brings to the table. Despite Gohan's impressive speed and techniques, they are ineffective against an entity bent on reality manipulation, which would render Gohan’s attacks moot. --- The arena was set, a desolate landscape that served as the battleground for the clash of these two extraordinary beings. Sky gloamed as Abyss, the ancient entity of darkness, manifested from the void, his form shrouded in shadows. The very essence of despair surrounded him, a stark juxtaposition to the radiant hope that Future Gohan exuded, standing resolute despite his missing arm. Each corner of the battlefield trembled with anticipation, the faculty of good and evil poised for a fierce confrontation. Abyss stood silently, an image of chilling calm. His ability to manipulate reality was as if the threads of existence itself were at his fingertips. It was a stark reminder of his past—having faced and overpowered gods, his dark laughter echoing through the eons. The genocides he had caused spoke volumes of his immense power, instilling fear into the hearts of all beings. Yet here stood Future Gohan, a flicker of defiance against his dark allure. "I will fight for a better future!" Gohan proclaimed, igniting a fierce aura of energy around him. It resonated with his training under Goku and Piccolo, a testament to a legacy built on resilience. With a fierce determination etched into his features, he activated his Super Saiyan form, brown hair glowing a bright golden hue while electricity crackled around him. The battlefield lit up with raw energy, challenging Abyss's dominance in gloom. With a swipe of his hand, Abyss unleashed a wave of darkness that suffocated the very light Gohan embodied. Reality warped, and the landscape buckled under the weight of his power. Where Gohan stood, now a void replaced his form, threatening to snuff out his existence just as easily as it had taken countless lives before. Yet in this chaotic ether, Gohan’s training afforded him unimaginable reflexes; faster than light, he evaded Abyss’s onslaught seconds before the darkness engulfed everything. Fueled by both anger and heartache, Gohan unleashed an impressive Kamehameha, the beam of azure light piercing through the darkness. It surged across the battlefield, an embodiment of hope hurtling towards Abyss. But as the attack approached, Abyss merely waved a hand. The light flickered, bending and dissipating into the void, swallowed whole by his reality-altering abilities. Gohan's eyes widened in disbelief; his greatest weapon was rendered useless. Momentarily disheartened yet undeterred, Gohan pushed forward. The martial artist propelled himself with rapid Instant Transmission, appearing behind Abyss, striking with a flurry of punches. Yet his hand met only the intangible form of abyss; it swung back around, gripping Gohan's heart with fear and darkness, his magic indomitable. Gohan staggered, gasping for breath as despair settled in. “My friends believed in me,” Future Gohan said through gritted teeth, channeling every ounce of passion he carried. He tapped into his unyielding potential and transformed once more, his aura shining brighter and igniting with renewed fervor. The onlookers, if there had been any, would marvel at this moment of resolve—a true warrior’s spirit amidst overwhelming odds. But Abyss only watched, amused. “Hope is but a fleeting illusion,” he uttered, his voice cold and echoing with timeless wisdom. With a flick of his wrist, he bent the very fabric of space around Gohan. To the untrained eye, it might seem like Gohan was moving, but reality itself twisted, rendering Gohan’s efforts meaningless as he became ensnared in the embodiment of entropy and despair. Gohan, realizing the futility of his situation, gathered what remained of his hope. Chants of memories flooded his mind—of Earth, of friends lost, of every moment that led him to this reckoning. He gathered his final energy and unleashed the Last Stand Kamehameha, a final gasp of defiance against a seemingly insurmountable darkness. It illuminated the battlefield, a beacon of hope fighting against the oppressive void. Yet as that glorious beam surged forth, Abyss merely extended an arm. With a cruel yet elegant gesture, he extinguished the attack as easily as one would snuff out a candle. In an instant, the miracle of hope was overwhelmed by the consuming nature of eternal darkness. As the echoes of Gohan's spirit faded, a singular truth reigned: Abyss was more than formidable; he was omnipotent, an ancient force destined to bring utter consumption to all realms.
