The Tournament of Power Begins!

Although Trunks remained in the Future Timeline, the troubles have been resolved, and things are ultimately moving in a positive direction.

Bulma prepared a celebratory feast, intending to reward everyone properly.

Unfortunately, the Future Trunks isn't here.

The servants under his command kept bringing out delicious dishes from the kitchen.

God of Destruction Beerus, and Whis, the Angel, had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

As gluttons Son Goku and Vegeta seemed to have completely forgotten how badly they had been beaten in the Future Timeline, and immediately started devouring everything in sight.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, about three months have passed since Talot resolved the chaos caused by the Goku Black in the Future Timeline.

During these three months, everything seemed incredibly peaceful.

Everyone returned to their daily lives.

Of course, during this time, although the Earth was calm, some interesting things also happened.

For example, when Son Goku asked Whis to hire Hit, an assassin from Universe 6, to assassinate Hit, he was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, he had a backup plan and managed to save himself in time.

In the end, Son Goku naturally figured out Hit's assassin techniques and confessed that he had hired Hit to assassinate him.

At this point, Hit's understanding of Son Goku was refreshed once again, and a special friendship was unknowingly established between the two.

In addition, another match was held between Universe 6 and Seventh Universe.

However, this competition was not a martial arts tournament, but Baseball Game.

A baseball team, led by two Universe God of Destruction, embarks on a baseball game that defies common sense.

Talot was also present when the match started, but he came with the intention of watching a good show.

Everyone present who played baseball knew nothing about the rules of baseball except for Yamcha.

Yamcha thought this was a match where he could show off his skills and impress the God of Destruction, but the ensuing chaos left him questioning his existence.

First, Son Goku transformed into Super Saiyan Blue Evolved and threw a baseball, almost killing his own son Son Gohan of selflessness.

Then came the absurd and outrageous maneuvers: stealing the baseball with Levitation Technique and changing its position with a ki blast.

In the face of these people, the rules of baseball are not the rules at all being manipulated.

The final decisive game was even more outrageous.

Vegeta unleashed his ultimate attack, the Final Flash, to assist Son Goku in bombarding him with a baseball, nearly obliterating the entire Earth.

Talot remained a bystander throughout, barely suppressing his laughter.

Sometimes, relaxing a bit and watching interesting programs like this is a unique form of self-cultivation for him.

After the baseball game ended, everyone's life returned to normal once again.

Son Goku is either training or training. Currently, his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved has reached its peak and he is not far from reaching the Super Saiyan Blue 3.

At least he had Talot's guidance; if he still hasn't made any progress, then he's doomed.

Vegeta, Son Goku's rival, was naturally no less skilled, having also mastered Super Saiyan Blue Evolved to its ultimate peak.

As for Talot, he remained in this world according to his agreement with the Grand Priest.

To put it bluntly, Talot had a pretty good idea of why the Grand Priest had kept him here.

Although it hasn't happened yet, it's coming soon.

This day.

Talot is attempting to push his limits further and achieve true mastery of Ultra Instinct.

However, reality was far crueler than he had imagined.

Having already mastered the Selfish Ultra Instinct, the difficulty of mastering the Ultra Instinct is far greater than that of mastering a single Godly Control Technique.

Moreover, these are two conflicting Godly Control Technique. No matter how extraordinary Talot's talent is, he still needs time to mature and external factors and opportunities to master both Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego at the same time.

Without encountering a fortuitous opportunity, Talot would likely remain stuck at this level, accumulating power over time, and finally achieving a breakthrough in the coming years, or even decades, through sheer hard work and perseverance.

"Phew!" Talot, who was cultivating, suddenly let out a long breath.

A white aura of God Power was emanating from his body.

These scorching God Power, like droplets of water, swirled around his body; this form was the state of Ultra Instinct: Sign.

"No matter how hard I try, even with almost selfless in-depth research, I've only managed to cultivate Ultra Instinct to the level of a 'trillion.' I'm afraid it's impossible to reach the pinnacle in a short time," Talot muttered to himself.

Although he was full of confidence in his potential, the feeling of being unable to make any progress this time also put Talot under great pressure.

To achieve a breakthrough, one must have sufficient opportunity or a strong external stimulus.

Moreover, this external force must be absolutely pure and powerful Mortal Power, without any trace of divine power mixed in.

"Could it be that only he can help me break through?" Talot thought of a super bald man with extremely powerful strength.

During the Tournament of Power in the original manga, Jiren, the strongest warrior of Eleventh Universe, demonstrated absolutely formidable Mortal Power.

That power was so great that even the gods were amazed, and even God of Destruction Beerus, praised it highly.

Talot then focused his attention on Jiren.

If he could fight Jiren, he might be able to learn something from him and achieve a further breakthrough.

It could even trigger a chain reaction, allowing him to break through to Super Saiyan 5!

But this is just speculation.

After all, Jiren's strength is conservatively estimated to be around the Tenth Dimension, with the Eleventh Dimension being the absolute limit.

Even a being as powerful as Ultimate Zamasu, an Eleventh Dimension being, was instantly killed by him. A mere Gray Jiren could only play around with him at best.

Unless, some astonishing change has occurred in this timeline, causing Jiren's power to increase explosively.

He'll become even stronger than in the original story! But these are things he can only dream about now. Unless the Tournament of Power begins, he'll have to personally travel to Eleventh Universe if he wants to see Jiren.

Whether he will go to the Eleventh Universe is another matter. Even if he does go, he might be kicked out. Even with a residence permit granted by the Grand Priest, he is not a person from the Eleventh Universe.

Given the current situation, we can only let things take their course and wait for the Tournament of Power to convene.

And judging by the time, it should be about time.

Just as Talot was lost in thought, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space.

Talot sensed something amiss in the space behind him and turned to look.

The newcomer was none other than Son Goku.

"Kakarot?" Talot called out instinctively.

He immediately understood; he hadn't expected the opportunity to arrive so quickly.

"Long time no see, Talot. I hope I haven't bothered you? Hehe," Son Goku asked tentatively.

Talot could tell at a glance that he was acting guilty.

"Although I don't exist in this time and space world, you don't need to hide anything from me. Tell me, Kakarot, what's making you seem so flustered?" Talot asked, getting straight to the point.

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Son Goku smiled awkwardly and then stopped hiding his intentions, revealing the whole purpose of his trip.

After some explanation, Talot understood the whole story.

Son Goku had indeed come to invite him to the Tournament of Power.

Good heavens! I was just wondering when the Tournament of Power would be held so I could meet Jiren from Eleventh Universe, and now I have news.

It has to be said that this was exactly what he wanted.

"Alright, I'll participate in this tournament, but I have to remind you, Kakarot, when inviting others to this Tournament of Power, you'd better not hide anything from them. Doing so will only make everyone distrust you more and make things worse." Talot agreed to participate in this tournament that concerns the survival of the Universe and kindly reminded Son Goku of this.

In this timeline, Son Goku's brain is quite dull in normal circumstances; it only starts working during battles.

If he were to try to deceive others, his deception would be immediately exposed, and he would get into a lot of trouble.

"Talot, do you mean I should just go and tell everyone the truth about the Tournament of Power? Wouldn't that be... not a good idea, after all..." Upon hearing this, Son Goku hesitated, his body trembling slightly.

After all, the Zeno story of the Tournament of Power started because of him. If it weren't for his careless conversation with Zeno during the last match against Universe 6, and his mention of the Tournament of Power, the destruction of the Universe wouldn't have happened.

Son Goku was a little scared, worried that everyone would blame him after they found out the truth.

Talot was amused by this scene. Even the fearless Son Goku was now showing signs of fear.

"Sometimes, deliberately concealing things will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also backfire. Do you want everyone to continue to trust you and fight alongside you, or do you want everyone to fight alongside you with suspicion towards you?" Talot saw through Son Goku's concerns and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Son Goku froze on the spot. After pondering for a long time, he nodded solemnly.

Talot is right. If partners are suspicious of each other, then they are no longer partners.

Since a problem has arisen, let's face it together.

"I understand, I will explain the situation to everyone," Son Goku promised.

He then spoke with Talot for a while, informing him of the time of the Tournament of Power Talot, before using Instant Transmission to leave the area and gather others to participate in the Tournament of Power.

As Talot watched Son Goku leave, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I wonder how strong you are, Jiren, as the number one person of this era in the original story?" Talot muttered to himself.

Time flies, and soon the day of the Tournament of Power will arrive.

On Bulma's balcony.

All the warriors representing Seventh Universe were present: Talot, Son Goku, Vegeta, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Master Roshi, Android 17, Android 18, Son Gohan Tien Shinhan.

The lineup is almost identical to the one in the original story who participated in the Tournament of Power, except that Talot replaced Frieza because of him.

Ultimately, there was no chance to clear Frieza's name.

Ten people gathered together, forming a circle, to prepare for the final teleportation ceremony.

Angel Whis made contact with the Grand Priest in the World of Void through the Angel Scepter.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious Space Power enveloped everyone, and a peculiar feeling enveloped everyone except Talot.

Talot had no interest in this, because he had already mastered Space Power to a certain degree, and this was just the most basic spatial transfer, which he could also do.

'Buzz~!!' With a flash of white light, everyone on the balcony was teleported back to the World of Void.

Bulma looked towards the spot where everyone had left and said, "Everyone! I'm counting on you!"

The World of Void.

A giant, top-shaped arena suspended at the center of chaos.

At this moment, contestants from six Universe have arrived at the World of Void, with only the Seventh Universe and Eleventh Universe remaining.

Time is not in a hurry, because the arena is not yet fully repaired.

Iwan, the God of Destruction of Universe 1; Liger, the God of Destruction of Eighth Universe; Arak, the God of Destruction of Universe 5, are repairing the Tournament of Tournament of Power.

Previously, following the Grand Priest's instructions, they tested the sturdiness of the arena, and almost destroyed it. The Grand Priest then ordered these God of Destruction to repair the arena as well.

The God of Destruction, who are only good at destruction, are not very familiar with repair, but fortunately they have some ability of their own.

The arena will soon be restored to its original state.

'Buzz~!!' In a secluded corner of the arena.

God of Destruction Beerus of Seventh Universe, and Whis, the Angel, along with the ten contestants representing Seventh Universe, have arrived.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of other Universe.

After all, in the eyes of other Universe, Seventh Universe is the culprit behind this Tournament of Power, and also the target of their hatred.

[The World of Void? This World of Void... seems... a bit off.] Talot crossed his arms and expanded his senses to encompass the entire World of Void.

It would have been fine if he hadn't sensed it, but once he did, he was stunned in disbelief.

His previous battle with Beerus took him to the World of Void, and he even managed to break through World of Void.

Logically, one should be able to sense some of the energy left behind by him and Beerus in this World of Void, but there is not a trace of it left.

So, this World of Void is not the World of Void he went to when he fought Beerus?

Could it be that there isn't just one World of Void in a single spacetime world?

The World of Void he went to during his battle with Beerus was another World of Void, and this World of Void controlled by the Grand Priest!
