Vados, Your Sister

The gods and contestants all perked up their ears to listen.

"The rules are simple. You win by knocking your opponent out of the ring or making them surrender," the Grand Priest continued. "The winners advance to the next round, and so on, until the final match. Killing and using weapons are forbidden. Any contestant who breaks the rules will be disqualified. That's all for now. We may make adjustments to the rules after a few matches."

The gods and contestants understood.

"Additionally, every contestant who wins a round may collect a can of Cola from Mr. Lu Fan of Universe 6 as a special prize," the Grand Priest said, pointing toward Lu Fan in the stands.

Lu Fan gave everyone a slight bow.

The gods and contestants present were a little taken aback.

Cola?

What was that?

"Whis, do you know what that is?" Beerus asked curiously.

"I think it's some kind of tasty drink," Whis guessed.

"A drink? How good could it be?" Beerus didn't think much of it.

"Since it's a reward from the Grand Priest, it must be delicious," Whis said with a smile.

"I hope so," Beerus said with a grin.

"Now, contestants, please go over there and draw lots," the Grand Priest instructed. "The matches will be held in the order of the numbers drawn."

Pop!

A box suddenly appeared beside the arena.

The contestants came forward one after another to draw lots.

A total of seven contestants came forward and drew their numbers.

The results were as follows:

Contestant No. 1: Universe 6, Hit

Contestant No. 2: Universe 9, Basil

Contestant No. 3: Universe 11, Toppo

Contestant No. 4: Universe 3, Magetta

Contestant No. 6: Universe 7, Majin Buu

Contestant No. 7: Universe 2, Ribrian

Contestant No. 8: Universe 10, Zamasu

After drawing their lots, the seven contestants returned to their respective stands.

"Universe 4's contestant is a special case, so the remaining number, 5, belongs to its contestant, Damon," the Grand Priest announced.

"Universe 4? Do they even have a contestant?" Beerus asked, momentarily stunned. "And what's so special about him?"

"Mr. Buu, what number did you get?" Whis asked.

"What number is this?" Majin Buu held up his number for Whis to see.

"It's number 6! You'll be fighting Universe 4's Damon!" Beerus exclaimed after taking a closer look.

Majin Buu also glanced toward Universe 4's stands.

There's no contestant there.

Who am I supposed to fight?

"Whis, do you know what's going on?" Beerus asked.

"Oh-ho-ho, don't expect me to know everything. You'll have to figure things out for yourself," Whis said with a smile.

Beerus: "..."

"Are you even the Angel of Universe 7?" Beerus grumbled.

Over in Universe 6's stands.

"Hit, what number did you get?" Champa asked.

"Number 1. I'm in the first match," Hit replied.

"Who's your opponent?" Champa hurriedly asked.

"I think it's a contestant from Universe 9," Hit replied. "That red fox."

"That guy shouldn't be anything special. Make sure you take him down," Champa said. "But don't let your guard down."

"Understood," Hit said with a nod.

Sidra, the God of Destruction of Universe 9, was also cheering on his universe's contestant, Basil.

"That guy from Universe 6... I don't have any information about him at all. Basil, do your best!" Sidra said, patting the red fox on the shoulder.

Basil: "..."

You don't know anything, so why are you even talking?

"Now that the order of the matches has been decided, let's begin the first one," the Grand Priest said with a smile. "The first match will be between Hit of Universe 6 and Basil of Universe 9. Please come to the arena. There's no time limit; the match will continue until one of you wins. Any contestant who falls out of the arena will be transported back to their universe's stands. Rest assured."

"Hit, do your best!" Champa said, patting Hit on the shoulder. "Don't let me down."

"Yes!" Hit replied, leaping onto the arena.

"Vados, your sister," Lu Fan suddenly said.

As he spoke, Lu Fan took a bottle of Cola and drank from it.

Vados: "..."

Why are you insulting me?

"Uh, I meant to ask, why isn't your sister here?" Lu Fan swallowed his Cola and asked curiously.

"Could you not make me jump to conclusions like that?" Vados's expression darkened.

"Did I?" Lu Fan grinned.

"My sister should be in the New Universe. Maybe she'll come over in a little while," Vados guessed.

"Is your sister really that beautiful?" Lu Fan whispered.

Vados wiped away some sweat.

You're already thinking about my sister?

"She is..." Vados glanced at Lu Fan. "Didn't I show you her projection?"

"Yeah, yeah. I can't wait," Lu Fan said, nodding vigorously.

Vados sighed, no longer wanting to deal with Lu Fan.

"But I think the final decision about the God of Destruction should be yours, right? After all, that God of Destruction will be living with your sister from now on," Lu Fan mused.

Vados nearly choked.

Living together?

The way you put it makes it sound like they're getting married.

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe," Vados said, shaking her head.

"Could your sister be secretly watching the match?" Lu Fan guessed.

Vados simply stopped responding.

My sister is an Angel. Why would she have to watch the match secretly?

In the circular arena.

Hit and Universe 9's contestant, Basil, stood facing each other.

The arena was about a hundred meters in diameter, so it was quite spacious.

"Begin!" the Grand Priest commanded.

Basil didn't hesitate for a moment. He shot toward Hit.

He swung his fist straight at Hit's face.

Hit's expression remained utterly calm as he watched Basil's fist come at him.

"Good! That's it, Basil!" Sidra shouted excitedly. "Knock him out with that punch!"

"Time Skip!"

Hit uttered two words.

Time stopped.

Bam!

Hit landed a heavy punch squarely in Basil's chest.

Basil was struck at once. His body arced through the air, blood spraying from his mouth as he crashed to the ground.

"Ugh..."

After landing, Basil spat out another mouthful of blood. He felt absolutely awful.

Sidra's smile slowly froze.

What kind of move was that?

Since when did Universe 6 have someone this powerful?

Champa grinned, his white teeth showing, his face full of pride.

"Damn it!" Basil gritted his teeth and got back to his feet.

Then Basil suddenly pushed his speed to the limit, leaving several afterimages where he stood.

The next moment, Basil charged at Hit again.

"Time Skip!"

Hit didn't hesitate in the slightest. He used Time Skip once more.
