While they were whispering and discussing tactics, at the same time, on the far side of the arena, the fateful battle between two Son Goku had entered a crucial and intense stage.
Having forcibly activated his Super Saiyan Blue form, Son Goku's breathing rhythm in the main timeline was now noticeably becoming slightly uncoordinated.
The divine energy flames that could be released from his body were already faintly inferior to those of his peak years.
Everyone knew perfectly well that transforming into the Super Saiyan Blue form, a god-like form, was extremely taxing on one's energy reserves.
Moreover, on top of this enormous burden, he has now forcibly added a doubling effect, resulting in a full twenty times the Berserk Kaioken.
In this way, the rate at which his physical cells evaporate energy is even more outrageous and terrifying than simply consuming twenty times the amount of energy!
Now, after only a few minutes of direct combat with his other self, his mortal body has begun to inevitably experience physical problems due to the backlash from the secret technique.
"What on earth is going on? Could the so-called Limit Full-Power Super Saiyan 4 Mode really be this incredibly powerful?"
"I already used the Kaioken, which was enhanced twenty times on top of the Super Saiyan Blue God Flame, to clash with it, and I still couldn't gain any real advantage in a head-on collision!"
At this moment, Super Saiyan Blue Son Goku, who was under the dual pressure of the attack, felt the long, drawn-out force returning from both hands, and his heart became somewhat heavy and anxious without him realizing it.
"Take my advice, just admit defeat and back down. I didn't intend to eliminate you in the first round."
"If the battle continues at this exhausting pace, you simply won't be a match for me, given the current limits of your meridians."
"Once your energy and stamina are completely depleted by the secret technique, any trash from another universe could take advantage of your weakened state and eliminate you on the spot in this chaotic, ruined arena!"
Even in his Super Saiyan 4 Full Power Form, GT Son Goku didn't rush to attack; instead, he stood steadily on the wreckage.
With his arms crossed, he spoke calmly and casually to Super Saiyan Blue Son Goku in front of him, offering a few words of advice.
He genuinely didn't want to eliminate this Saiyan who looked exactly like him at the very beginning of this battle.
However, if the opponent insists on using this self-destructive fighting style to fight to the death, his physical strength will definitely suffer irreparable serious problems in the next half minute!
When he reaches that critical moment when he's exhausted and on his last legs, even if he doesn't take the initiative to be the villain, the other coveted contestants from the universe will definitely act like hungry wolves, taking advantage of his weakened state to join forces and eliminate him.
"Hehe, the Saiyan power in my bones hasn't been completely exhausted yet, so I absolutely, positively will not admit defeat to you until I'm completely defeated!"
"Besides, even if I'm unlucky and get knocked off the stage by you later, I'll still be eliminated."
"Mr. Qin Feng is still firmly on our Universe 7 selection list, and besides him, there are also reliable guys like Broly, Vegeta, and Uub holding the line."
"Each of them is at least as strong as me, so even if I'm unlucky enough to be eliminated in the first five minutes, it won't cause any fatal problems in the final outcome."
Faced with the tactical crisis of potential elimination, Son Goku in the main timeline appeared very nonchalant, grinning broadly and chuckling, speaking loudly with an optimistic and nonchalant attitude.
Because he knew better than anyone else that the overall combat strength that the Universe 7 had gathered this time was so great that even the Kami were in despair.
Even if he, as a starting player, is carelessly carried off the field early, the team's winning percentage will not be significantly or devastatingly affected.
Of course, what he said now is only in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
Moreover, it's uncertain how much strength this GT Son Goku with a tail has up his sleeve, and whether he's truly confident he can eliminate me here.
"So that's how it is?"
"Since you're so confident in your Universe 7's team, and insist on testing your strength against me in this state, then I really won't hold back at all in the upcoming battle!"
Upon hearing this, GT Son Goku's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his two thick, red-haired arms into fists in front of his chest, even though he genuinely didn't want to personally end the Universe 7 Son Goku.
However, if the opponent, as a proud warrior, insists on a true battle to settle things head-on in this arena...
Out of basic respect for the dignity of martial arts, I can only defeat him completely head-on with pure fists.
Perhaps what the other party just analyzed was entirely true, even if Son Goku in the main timeline was indeed forcibly eliminated at this point in time.
With Qin Feng and Broly, along with a few other freaks, holding the back, Universe 7 still possesses an incredibly formidable chance of winning on this stage.
It can be said that the chances of winning the survival trophy are still over 90%.
Even if Son Goku from the main timeline is careless and doesn't participate in the upcoming decisive battle, with these terrifying monsters in the rear holding the fort, there's still a high chance he'll secure victory in this life-or-death tournament.
Haha!!
In that split second, the two Son Goku facing each other suddenly roared in unison, their figures leaving countless afterimages as they charged head-on at each other without any reservations.
The broken Alloy Arena flickered wildly once again, sending out terrifying shockwaves. At this moment, both combatants had pushed their Saiyan powers to their ultimate limit.
In addition, on the other side of the arena, Jiren and Legendary Super Saiyan Broly were engaged in a brutal and devastating battle, causing the entire massive World of Void Arena to shake violently under the clash of these two divine and demonic forces.
On the outskirts of the ruins, some ordinary cosmic contestants whose actual strength was slightly lower didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone dare to approach within a kilometer radius of the four monsters fighting.
Because everyone knew perfectly well that if they slipped and lost their footing even slightly, these small fry could be forcibly eliminated on the spot by the terrifying force of the spreading punches.
As the intense battle within the ruins dragged on, a full ten minutes had already passed in this Tournament of Power that concerned the fate of the entire universe.
At this nerve-wracking and brutally chaotic juncture, the first tragic universe to be completely wiped out in this Tournament of Power was finally born under the watchful eyes of Kami.
Unsurprisingly, it was the Universe 4, led by the insidious God of Destruction, Quitela...
To be honest, the overall strength of Universe 4 was rather weak, and these guys didn't know how to keep a low profile and play the role of the clever Universe 6 at the beginning.
Instead, from the very first second the bell rang, they went around the arena actively provoking and harassing the other universes, attempting to solidify their so-called leading position in the Universe 4 through this foolish and bluffing tactic.
As a result, they ran into a brick wall. Now, all ten of their starting players have been eliminated one by one by the aces from various universes.
" The Universe 4 formation has been confirmed to have eliminated all its initial contestants."
"Therefore, Universe 4 automatically becomes the first faction to be completely eliminated in this tournament. Next, according to the previous rules, Grand Zeno will erase them on the spot."
At the very moment when everyone on the 100-meter stage was still locked in a fierce and intense battle, the Grand Priest's slightly ethereal and indifferent voice rang out clearly from the depths of every contestant's eardrums.
"Huh?! Have all those little guys from Universe 4 been eliminated already? Since that's the rule, let them disappear from our sight completely!"
The Grand Zeno, seated on the high chair in the spectator stand, was momentarily stunned, then casually uttered a sentence in an almost naive and indifferent tone.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand and gently clenched his fist in front of the air.
A strange, lifeless white purifying light instantly materialized out of thin air and appeared on the bodies of all the defeated contestants in the stands of Universe 4, as well as on the pale-faced God of Destruction and Supreme Kai.
Before they could even utter a final scream, the bodies of these dozen or so gods and demons from the Universe 4 vanished into Void in a flash of white light.
The whole process was handled with extreme nonchalance, as if these high-ranking gods and elites had never truly existed in this world from ancient times to the present.
"Gone? Was it really wiped out so mercilessly by Grand Zeno?! Not even a trace of its existence was left behind!"
All the elite fighters who were fighting fiercely on the Alloy Arena, as well as those who were watching from behind the distant ruins, all had their eyes filled with uncontrollable terror and trembling.
Although before stepping into this arena of World of Void, each of them had already learned from the God of Destruction of their respective universes the cold-blooded divine decree that the defeated faction would be wiped out on the spot by the Grand Zeno- King.
However, when such a world-ending scene unfolded vividly before their very eyes, and they witnessed the first universe being forcibly erased, these powerful individuals were simply unable to remain calm in the face of it.
After all, this is not just about a dozen or so fighters disappearing for no reason. It means that the entire unknown universe, the billions of innocent lives, and the vast starry sky of the universe itself that these people were connected to have all vanished in that one clench of fists!
hiss...
Even Beerus, the veteran God of Destruction sitting on a high chair in the audience of Universe 7, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and gasped sharply.
Although he knew from the beginning that the Grand Zeno- King sitting at the highest point acted entirely according to his likes and dislikes and was definitely not joking with everyone, he never expected that the Grand Zeno- King would be so decisive and efficient in executing this rule of destruction, erasing all traces of Universe 4 in the blink of an eye.
This horrific event of witnessing his colleague's soul and body being annihilated was the first time in countless billions of years since Beerus was born into this world and became God of Destruction that it had truly happened, and it was also the first time in his own life that he had truly experienced it firsthand.
Although he knew better than anyone else that with the powerful Qin Feng backing them up, it was absolutely impossible for their Universe 7 to suffer such a tragic total annihilation.
But watching an entire universe turn to ashes before his very eyes, he couldn't help but feel a deep tension and an indescribable fear deep within his heart.
" Whis, after those guys from Universe 4 were completely wiped out by the Grand Zeno, what will happen to the outer space of Universe 4, which they were connected to?"
Still shaken, Beerus quickly turned to look at Whis standing beside him and asked anxiously.
" Lord Beerus, after Universe 4 is forcibly erased by the supreme laws of the Grand Zeno- King, Universe 4 itself will also completely disappear from the macroscopic star map at the same time!"
Whis maintained his elegant and composed expression, responded softly, and then extended his right hand, gently tapping the ancient staff he held against the hard ground of the platform.
Following the projection of the dazzling gem embedded at the top of his staff, one could clearly see that at this moment, in the vast multiverse star map, the ancient coordinate region that originally belonged to the Universe 4 had been completely transformed into a desolate abyss of Void.
"Did they really... completely erase an entire vast universe conceptually?"
Beerus clutched his two cat ears tightly, his brows furrowed in a furrow, but he was powerless to change the outcome, for this was the absolute power of the Grand Zeno.
More precisely, this is the ultimate rule of destruction established by the Grand Zeno- King in this world.
It is a supreme law of cause and effect that completely transcends this diverse world and surpasses all logic.
No matter how powerful your physical strength is through rigorous training offstage, and no matter how unattainable the position of the God of Destruction you sit on is!
Before the supreme Grand Zeno, if he wanted to completely erase a life or a world from existence, he only needed to entertain a fleeting thought...
Beerus, the chief god of Universe 7, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat after witnessing this scene. The other God of Destruction from weaker universes, who were sitting side by side in the stands, were even more frightened, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably in their chairs!
This cannot be blamed on these high and mighty gods being cowardly and lacking backbone. Rather, when faced with absolute death with no possibility of resistance, any life with higher intelligence would inevitably feel an instinctive and endless fear rising from the depths of its soul!
Especially for people like them, who have endured countless tribulations and finally become the supreme God of Destruction who hold the power of life and death over all living beings.
The intense fear of losing life and supreme divine authority will be even more intense and profound than that of ordinary mortals below.
