Beerus's Promise
"Piccolo, I never expected you could transform!" GT Son Goku exclaimed in surprise, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Of course." Piccolo nodded with a smile.
"Hmph, nothing special." GT Vegeta chuckled lightly.
Vegeta took a deep look at his GT Timeline counterpart.
This guy actually said something like that.
Has his strength surpassed that of Orange Piccolo?
"Oh? Namekian, your transformation is quite unique." Frieza was slightly surprised.
Beerus stared wide-eyed at Piccolo's transformed form in surprise, then immediately turned to look at Whis.
Whis remained calm and said nothing.
"Whis, this Namekian's energy level is not low..." Beerus had a bad feeling.
"Oh dear, that's true." Whis nodded, not denying it.
"The energy level of this Namekian is even higher than that of Goku's Super Saiyan God!" Beerus said in a deep voice.
"Yes," Whis replied.
"Damn it! I actually naively thought that guy named Goku was the strongest among them!" Beerus's face darkened.
Whis said no more.
"Piccolo, you look pretty evil." GT Son Goku laughed.
Piccolo: "..."
"Oh dear, judging from the current situation, Mr. Piccolo from our universe possesses even more powerful energy," Vados said with a grin, covering her mouth as she stood beside Luo Tian.
"Frieza has just completed the Golden Mode, but he hasn't solidified Golden Mode yet, so he can only maintain it for a limited time," Luo Tian analyzed. "So you're right, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Piccolo should win the first match."
"Yes, yes." Vados nodded gently.
"Hehe, did you hear that? Beerus, even Luo Tian said so, which proves that we're bound to win this match!" Champa laughed triumphantly, his mouth stretching all the way to his ears.
Beerus's expression grew increasingly somber.
As God of Destruction, Beerus could naturally sense that Frieza's Golden Mode was not very stable.
And that Piccolo named Namekian seems to have been in Orange Mode for quite some time now.
There's a high probability that Frieza will lose this match.
"Come on, Frieza, I'll finish the match as soon as possible!" Piccolo chuckled.
"Hmph, I Frieza, should be the one to say 'end the match'!" Frieza roared in anger and charged towards Piccolo.
"Bang!"
Frieza's fist landed heavily on Piccolo's face.
Piccolo tilted his head slightly to the side and slapped Frieza hard across the face.
Frieza spun around, feeling dizzy.
"Smack!"
Piccolo quickly stepped forward, grabbed Frieza by the back of the head, and suddenly thrust his knee upwards.
"Puff..."
Frieza coughed up blood, his face contorted in pain.
Piccolo grabbed Frieza's head again and pressed it down hard.
With a muffled thud, Frieza's head slammed heavily into the ground below, leaving a crater.
Piccolo stomped his big foot on the back of Frieza's head and rubbed it hard against the ground.
"Aaaaaah!"
Frieza let out painful howls, his anger reaching its peak.
"Boom!"
Frieza suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of energy, and with a sweep of his tail, lashed Piccolo's shin.
Immediately afterwards, Frieza slammed his head into Piccolo's stomach.
Piccolo quickly dodged and delivered a palm strike, knocking Frieza to the ground.
Frieza collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly awful.
Am I not even able to beat a Namekian?
I'm a genius!
Why is this happening?
"Frieza, admit defeat." Piccolo looked down at Frieza coldly and said calmly, "Your former glory is gone. The sense of loss must be immense, right?"
Frieza gritted his teeth.
Are you trying to kill me by hurting my spirit?
"I'm not reconciled!" Frieza roared, leaping to his feet.
Then, in the next moment, Frieza realized what true tragedy was.
Frieza had just jumped up when Piccolo slapped him across the face.
Frieza suddenly fell backward to the ground, staring blankly at the empty sky, his mind reeling.
I am Frieza!
I was once the Cosmic Emperor!
How could I possibly lose to a Namekian?
"Smack!"
The golden light on Frieza dissipated instantly, and he reverted to his Fourth Form.
While it's called the Fourth Form, in a true sense, this is Frieza's final form.
Frieza looked dazed, sensing waves of sorrow.
For some reason, Frieza suddenly thought of Vegeta at that moment.
Vegeta must have felt just as desperate as I have, right?
Frieza slowly turned his head and glanced expressionlessly in Vegeta's direction.
Vegeta's brows furrowed tightly.
What do you mean?
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Should we continue fighting, Frieza?" Piccolo asked calmly.
Frieza did not speak.
"In that case, I'll eliminate you from the game." Piccolo said, kicking Frieza in the air.
Instantly, Frieza's body arced through the air and flew out of the ring, eliminated from the competition.
"In the first match, Piccolo from Universe 6 wins, bringing Universe 6's score to 1 point." Luo Tian announced from above the stands, looking down at the crowd.
Piccolo immediately stepped forward and bowed to Luo Tian.
Seeing Frieza roll over to his side, Beerus trembled with rage.
"Frieza, what did you promise me? You can't even beat a Namekian?" Beerus asked angrily.
Frieza remained silent, staring blankly at the sky.
"Damn it! I was counting on you to win! You've disappointed me so much!" Beerus gritted his teeth, grabbed Frieza from the ground, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Let's just ruin you like this."
Frieza, however, was like a dead pig, his face showing little expression, and even when he did, it was only endless despair.
"No, Lord Beerus, Frieza has already done his best," Goku stepped forward with a smile and offered a word of advice.
Beerus glanced at Goku, snorted coldly, and kicked Frieza away.
Frieza's body tumbled several times on the planet, and when he finally stopped, he was still staring at the sky in a daze, without saying a word.
After a silence of about three seconds, two streams of tears rolled down Frieza's cheeks.
At that moment, Frieza felt an unbearable pang of heartache.
If Frieza had lost to Saiyan, the difference in their fortunes might not have been so stark.
The main reason is that Namekian are not a warrior race.
In Frieza's eyes, Namekian were nothing but a fart.
Now, this fart has left him battered and bruised.
"Piccolo, well done, you're a true gem." Goku smiled at Piccolo.
Piccolo gave Goku a slight smile.
"However, if Frieza can maintain that state, Piccolo, you'll be in for a tough fight," Goku analyzed.
"You're right." Piccolo nodded in agreement.
"Hit, it's your turn to fight now, right? Good luck!" Goku turned to look at Hit.
Hit nodded expressionlessly.
That guy named Goku is shameless.
What do you mean I'm not with Frieza...?
What do you take me for?
"Awooooo!"
In the stands of Universe 6, Bulma and the others cheered and briefly celebrated their victory in the first match.
"Beerus, your universe is no good." Champa grinned smugly at Beerus, his smile sly and wicked.
Beerus's face darkened, and he roared angrily, "You bastard, how can you still laugh! That Namekian is from our Universe 7!"
"Now it belongs to our Universe 6, hahaha!" Champa kept making faces, his laughter was just too cheeky.
Hearing Champa's laughter, Luo Tian even wanted to beat him up.
But in the end, he held back.
Regardless, we now belong to Universe 6, so let's give him some face for now.
"Quiet," Luo Tian said to Champa.
Champa quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make another sound.
"Now let's move on to the second match, with Hit from Universe 6 facing Uub from Universe 7," Luo Tian announced loudly.
After speaking, Hit and Uub walked together toward the ring.
The two stepped onto the ring side by side.
"You black egg, you better give it a good beating!" Beerus said to Uub.
Uub: "..."
Who are you calling a black egg?
"If you win the match, I can grant you any wish," Beerus promised.
"My biggest wish was to bring Master Goku back. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I have no more wishes," Uub replied earnestly.
Beerus's expression immediately turned even uglier than if he had eaten shit.
"But I will work hard and try to win this game," Uub said to Beerus with a smile.
"I hope you won't disappoint me." Beerus nodded.
"Hit, you are a native of our Universe 6, don't bring shame to our Universe 6!" Champa looked at Beerus, then immediately shouted to Hit on the stage.
Hit remained silent, his eyes cold.
"Uub, your opponent is not simple, don't be careless." GT Son Goku said to Uub.
Uub nodded seriously, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
"The match begins!" Luo Tian announced loudly.
"Boom!"
Uub didn't hesitate at all, and immediately unleashed a powerful aura, with a layer of bright light appearing around his body.
Then look at Hit, with his hands in his pockets, staring blankly at Uub.
That one look from him instantly made Uub feel a powerful sense of oppression.
Uub clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling violently, his heart filled with terror.
Who exactly is he?
Why do I feel a sense of terror just by looking into his eyes?
Uub felt a chill run down his spine and didn't dare to take the initiative to attack. He just stared intently at Hit on the other side.
Hit remained with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.
Uub was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Immediately afterwards, Uub gritted his teeth, let out a roar, and rushed quickly toward Hit.
Uub's fist was aimed straight at Hit's face.
"Time Skip!"
Hit didn't stand on ceremony and immediately used Time Skip to freeze Uub in mid-air.
"Bang!"
Hit kicked out and landed a kick on Uub's stomach.
The moment Uub realized what was happening, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
"Puff!"
Uub spat out a mouthful of acid, his body flew backward, and he landed on his feet.
When Uub came to his senses, his expression became even more unpleasant.
What on earth happened? I didn't even see how he attacked!
Uub's eyes were filled with horror.
Even GT Son Goku was shocked, completely unable to see how Hit launched his attack.
"Vegeta, did you see that?" GT Son Goku asked GT Vegeta, who was standing nearby.
"Hmph, no!" GT Vegeta shook his head.
"From another dimension, can you clearly see how Hit from your universe attacked? Was it through Instant Transmission?" GT Son Goku immediately ran to Goku's side and asked.
"What you can't see is..." Goku was about to continue when he suddenly remembered something and changed his words, "I'll tell you after their match is over."
"Huh? Okay." GT Son Goku was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to his senses.
"Damn it! I have a bad feeling!" Beerus gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his face growing increasingly grim.
Whis glanced at Beerus but said nothing.
"Looks like we're going to lose again!" Beerus said in a deep voice.
"Oh dear, I'm afraid that's the case." Whis nodded.
Beerus: "..."
"Whis, you bastard, at least say something to comfort me!" Beerus said angrily.
"Lord Beerus, rest assured, our universe will ultimately prevail," Whis said with a smile.
"Really?" Beerus was overjoyed.
"Lord Beerus asked me to comfort him," Whis said, covering his mouth with a smile.
Beerus's face darkened, and he felt completely awful.
Uub got up from the ring and charged toward Hit again.
"Bang!"
Hit delivered a straight punch that struck Uub squarely in the face.
Uub spat out a mouthful of blood and landed from the air, his feet sliding backward on the ring.
When Uub calmed down, his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Hit.
"Whoosh!"
Hit flashed and quickly appeared directly opposite Uub.
The speed was so fast that even Uub was caught off guard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Hit threw three punches in quick succession, sending Uub levitating into the air.
Uub gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and wanted to launch a counterattack against Hit.
However, it was all in vain.
"Bang!"
Hit suddenly appeared directly above Uub and slammed his knee into the back of Orb's head.
"Awoo..."
Uub let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, immediately losing consciousness.
"Killing is against the rules! He's already passed out... Does this mean I've won?" Hit asked Luo Tian.
"You can throw him out of the ring," Luo Tian said with a smile.
