I Don't Think You Can't Even Beat Me

Hearts hovered silently in midair, his body wreathed in a dazzling stream of golden energy. That overwhelming power seemed almost alive, coiling and twisting with effortless agility, crackling from time to time. The terrifying aura it gave off sent chills down the spine.

Hearts's cold, merciless eyes were like a bottomless icehouse as he looked down without the slightest emotion at the group of Z Fighters below.

In his eyes, these heroes who had once struck terror into their enemies were now no more than tiny, lowly ants, not even worth mentioning.

Son Goku, who had successfully awakened Perfect Ultra Instinct, was covered in a brilliant silver spiritual flame. The blazing aura was like a vast, boundless galaxy, wrapping around him with both violence and grace. Every inch of his skin shone with silver-white light, making him appear mysterious and majestic.

Every muscle on Son Goku's body was tensed to the limit, sharply defined and brimming with explosive power, as if a casual swing of his fist could shatter stars and tear open the void. Yet despite possessing such world-destroying strength, a trace of gravity could still be seen in his eyes.

Vegeta was no less unwilling to back down. He had also smoothly entered the state of Perfect Ultra Ego.

At that moment, surging purple spiritual flames poured from his entire body. He was like a war god bathed in purple fire, heroic and imposing. His agile yet resolute figure stood firmly in place, his gaze blazing as he stared fixedly at Hearts above, not retreating in the slightest.

Under the powerful enhancement of Godly Power, Beast Gohan, already extraordinarily strong to begin with, now had silver-purple aura flames radiating all around him. The flames burned fiercely, flickering like eerie ghost fire.

The force of his presence was so fierce that the surrounding air buzzed under the unbearable pressure, as if it might explode at any moment. At this moment, Son Gohan had already pushed his power to the absolute limit.

Hearts in the air attacked without the slightest hesitation. He slowly raised his right hand and gently pushed forward. In an instant, a dazzling golden energy wave shot out!

The energy wave came with terrifying momentum, like some prehistoric beast awakening from ancient times, opening its bloody maw as it lunged ferociously toward the Z Fighters.

As the energy wave advanced, the space along its path was squeezed and warped, no longer smooth, like a worn piece of cloth that had been carelessly crumpled.

The air along the way was instantly compressed into a solid state by the impact of that terrifying energy, then transformed into clearly visible white waves of air.

Those air waves intertwined and coiled around each other, sweeping in with the force to topple mountains and overturn seas, accompanied by deafening roars.

Facing such a ferocious offensive, Son Goku's eyes suddenly sharpened, and immediately after, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Almost in the blink of an eye, when Son Goku appeared again, he was already standing firmly in front of the golden energy wave. At that moment, the muscles on his thick, powerful arms bulged high, veins standing out as if they contained endless strength.

The silver aura surrounding his body spun rapidly like wildly dancing fire dragons, continuously gathering onto his tightly clenched fists.

At last, once all that power had fully condensed, Son Goku swung both arms with a roar of force, driving his fists forward. That punch carried unparalleled momentum and might, like a meteor streaking across the sky, charging straight toward the incoming golden energy wave.

"Ha!" With an angry roar, Son Goku's fists collided with the energy wave. In an instant, light burst forth, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. Violent energy spilled outward, forming enormous vortexes of power that instantly scattered the surrounding clouds into nothingness.

Vegeta snorted coldly. He spread his arms, and the energy around him spun at high speed like propeller blades, gathering into a massive purple energy wave that blasted toward Hearts.

Wherever that energy wave passed, space itself was torn by its overwhelming force until it seemed on the verge of collapse, crackling as though it would shatter in the next moment.

Son Gohan was also unwilling to fall behind. He placed both hands at his waist, and an energy sphere rapidly gathered, continuously compressing. The surrounding air was pulled in by that powerful suction, forming the center of a small storm.

Son Gohan shouted and fired the energy wave. As it flew, the energy wave kept expanding, and the power contained within it tore through space.

The three attacks struck Hearts's energy wave at the same time, producing violent friction.

Seeing this, Hearts showed a trace of disdain. He sent in a little more energy, and then a massive explosion erupted.

The powerful impact sent Son Goku and the others flying.

"This guy really is too strong."

Son Goku's expression was grave as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Vegeta clenched his fists and snorted, looking extremely displeased.

"You don't have the ability to stop me at all."

Hearts laughed loudly.

Just then, a burst of intense light appeared in the sky. Jiren had arrived, and besides him, Hit from Universe 6 had also come.

"You really are stubborn. Did you come here to die?"

Hearts mocked them.

Jiren and Hit attacked at the same time. Hearts lifted his head and suppressed them both with powerful gravity, forcing the two of them back as he let out a low shout.

The ten Gravity Orbs behind him flew out, striking them at ultra-high speed.

Bang, bang, bang...

Hearts dashed like an arrow into the spreading smoke. Immediately after, the sounds of different collisions rang out. Then Goku and the others were sent flying one after another, smashing into the wall opposite.

The ten orbs returned behind him. Hearts showed a faint smile, and with a raise of his hand, rainbow-colored cubes appeared beneath Son Goku and the others' feet. Powerful gravity bound them in place, and no matter how they drew on the energy inside their bodies, they could not break free.

With an upward beckon of his hand, the cubes beneath their feet rapidly rose, slamming into their bodies. After a fierce barrage of attacks, the cubes entered the clouds and formed a massive golden cube that descended from the sky.

"Gravity Finale!!"

Bzz—

After the enormous cube fell, the ground collapsed dozens of meters. As the cube vanished, Goku and the others were all knocked out of their transformations. Fallen on the ground, they, including Jiren and Hit, had all suffered extremely severe injuries.

Hearts was very satisfied with this power, and so he threw his head back and laughed.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

"With the power of the Universe Seed, I am ultimate. I am invincible. I will use this power to kill Grand Zeno and create a new world."

Son Goku and the others struggled to their feet. Gravely wounded, their expressions were extremely grim. If they could not stop him here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Hearts was still laughing, an ill-timed voice rang out.

"I don't believe you can use that power to kill Grand Zeno."

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent. Hearts stopped laughing and instead looked toward the two people standing a hundred meters directly ahead.

"It's you!"

Hearts had seen footage of Luo Chuan, so of course he recognized him.

"Hmm? Cumber, what are you doing over there? Hurry up and come here. Once I wipe them out, I'll go deal with Grand Zeno. When the time comes, I can create a planet suited for you to fight on."

Cumber stayed silent and made no move at all.

Seeing this, Hearts frowned. Cumber was still useful to him, so he couldn't let him be taken away. In that case, he could only seize him back. He took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of Super Saiyan 4 Luo Chuan, swinging a punch. The space his fist grazed shattered outright.

Luo Chuan's pupils shrank. By the narrowest margin, he ducked and avoided the punch, then followed up with a sweeping kick at Hearts. However, Hearts had already read his attack and suppressed him with gravity.

Then Hearts waved a hand and used gravity to shove Cumber away.

The pressure crushed Luo Chuan until the bones throughout his body crackled. Strength at the peak of the twelfth dimension really was no joke.

While Hearts had been speaking just now, Luo Chuan had checked his combat power: 89.8 million gou.

After absorbing the Universe Seed, Hearts was strong, no doubt—but it wasn't as if Luo Chuan had brought out his true strength either.

Luo Chuan let out a low shout, and in an instant, two different colors emerged, followed by a blazing burst of light.

Having broken free of the gravitational restraint, he slowly rose to his feet. Two kinds of spiritual flame radiated from him: one silver-white, the other purple. Luo Chuan had activated his Dual Ultra Instinct form.

"Nani!!"

Hearts was shocked by Luo Chuan's power.

He had actually felt pressure from him. Impossible. With the Universe Seed, he was invincible. No one could stand above him—not even gods, much less a god's lapdog.

Hearts roared, and his aura instantly surged. His hair became even more upright and golden, and the air around him rippled in layers under the force of that overwhelming presence. His figure flashed, both fists clenched, and Gravity Cubes appeared and spun rapidly as he charged at Luo Chuan like a golden meteor.

Seeing this, Luo Chuan likewise extended both hands. Two kinds of energy coiled around them as they slammed hard into Hearts's fists.

Boom!!!

In an instant, a thunderous crash exploded across heaven and earth like a clap of lightning. Rings of visible energy waves spread outward, battering the already shattered ground again. The cracks widened even further, and massive stones were hurled into the air before being instantly pulverized into dust by the powerful energy shockwave.

The force in their fists clashed against each other, locked in a dead stalemate.

Luo Chuan suddenly drove power into his leg and thrust his knee sharply upward, aiming for Hearts's abdomen.

Hearts shifted sideways, dodging the blow, while his left hand clenched into a fist again and smashed toward Luo Chuan's temple with a whistling rush of wind. Luo Chuan reacted swiftly, tilting his head aside as his right hand seized Hearts's wrist and twisted hard, trying to dislocate the joint. Hearts yanked his hand back and instantly opened up the distance.

"Heh! Hearts, didn't you say you were invincible with that power? Then why can't you even beat me?"

Luo Chuan teased.

From the exchange just now, Hearts realized he had been suppressed.
