Prelude to War

As Son Goku was being taught a lesson by Kashius, Kale, whom Kashius had sent flying with a punch, now met Jiren's finishing blow as well.

After Kashius knocked her away, Jiren leaped into the air and fired an energy blast straight at Kale, blowing her high into the air and forcing her back to her normal state.

However, just as Kale was about to be blasted out of the arena, Hit of Universe 6 used "Time-Skip" to save her in time. Then, while Kashius and Son Goku were loudly arguing, they successfully retreated.

Afterward, this section of the battlefield once again became a gathering place for the warriors of Universe 11 and Universe 7.

Among Universe 11's Pride Troopers, aside from Dyspo, who had been heavily injured by Kashius earlier and had yet to fully recover, and Toppo, who had just been sent flying in a pathetic state, the rest of the Pride Troopers were all in peak fighting condition.

Zoiray, Tupper, Cocotte, Kahseral, Bunn, and Kettle—these six Pride Troopers. Of course, Jiren, who had just blasted Kale away, was not included in that count.

On Kashius's side were Kashius himself and his wife, Android 18—three members of Universe 7.

No, it should have been five.

Because Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince, and Android 17, who had been fooling around elsewhere, were now slowly emerging from behind a pile of rocks.

"Yo, Nasca and Vegeta." Son Goku, who had been taught a lesson by Kashius, smiled and greeted Android 17 and Vegeta.

Vegeta shot Son Goku a cold glance, snorted, and said in a deep voice, "Kakarot, you're still as useless as ever!"

Compared to Vegeta's cold arrogance, Android 17 was much more considerate. He stepped forward and quietly moved in front of Android 18, giving her a brief once-over.
