Zeno Descends
In the Neutral Space between Sixth Universe and Universe 7, on the Void Star, Beerus, the God of Destruction, and Champa, the God of Destruction, held a World Martial Arts Tournament.
The contestants from Universe 7, Son Goku Broly, were eliminated, along with Son Gohan, and Vegeta- Son Wuling who remained in the arena.
Meanwhile, in Sixth Universe, only Hit remained.
Hit, dressed entirely in purple and wearing a long coat with his hands in his pockets, was the number one professional assassin in Sixth Universe. His cold and stern face was filled with solemnity, and even though Son Gohan was injured, he still exerted immense pressure on Hit.
Thump!
As Champa released his Energy Blast and a gong sounded, the match between Son Gohan and Hit began.
Champa sat on the sofa, looking utterly dejected; he had completely given up hope on Hit.
"I lost! Damn it! I'm so unwilling to accept this! That guy Beerus will laugh at me for a long time! Damn it!"
Vados laughed and said, "Oh, Lord Champa doesn't think much of Hit?"
Champa curled his lip and said, "Even Zhai Kou might not be a match for Son Gohan, let alone Hit. Even if he were to win against Son Gohan by chance, there's still Son Wuling in the end. Hit has no chance of defeating that guy. Damn it, I didn't expect that besides Son Wuling, Universe 7 would actually have a Son Gohan. Damn it!"
On the Universe 7 side, Son Wuling, Son Goku, Rose Number 18, Videl all activated their Soul Eye. In the Soul Eye ' vision, Hit's soul was sharp yet carried a hint of eeriness.
Call out!
Son Gohan sensed the danger and punched Hit squarely in Hit face, sending Hit flying.
Just as Hit was about to land, he instantly appeared behind Son Gohan, Son Gohan kicked Hit in the chest again.
After regaining his footing, Hit repeated the same move, appearing behind Son Gohan in an instant. He was hit by Son Gohan, his purple cheeks now somewhat deformed, and he was sent flying again. The absolute difference in strength left Son Gohan helpless against Hit.
In Universe 7, Vegeta stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous.
"What exactly happened with Hit? It didn't seem like Instant Transmission; it seemed like he just appeared and was Gohan by Gohan."
Sun Wukong, with his spiritual eyes constantly activated, carefully observed Hit's every move and said, "It seems like Hit suddenly disappeared briefly."
Whis chuckled and explained, "Time-Skip? There are people in this world who can jump through time, but the time is very short, only about 0.1 seconds. Although it only freezes time for 0.1 seconds, it's enough for someone who can move at supersonic speeds."
Whis's words surprised Son Goku, who exclaimed, "Is that so? A guy who jumps through time! Ah, it's so unfair to be eliminated like this!"
Beerus remained calm and composed, saying, "Gohan is even stronger than I imagined. That Hit's Time-Skip was completely useless against Gohan. I wonder if he'd be willing to be a candidate for God of Destruction Candidate."
Whis chuckled and explained, "Mr. Gohan has shown some signs of Ultra Ego, and has clearly found his own path to the God Realm. It seems he no longer needs Lord Beerus's guidance!"
"So verbose, ugh..."
Beerus snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Ultra Ego, wanting to obtain the power of destruction, is not so simple."
Vegeta had been listening intently and overheard Beerus and Whis's conversation.
"What? Could it be that Gohan's God Realm Ultra Ego is related to the God of Destruction?"
On the stage, Hit was covered in wounds, his breathing erratic, and he gritted his teeth as he stared at Son Gohan. His Time-Skip was completely useless against Son Gohan; the difference in power was too great.
Super Saiyan 4 Son Gohan calm and composed, his entire body seemingly full of flaws, showing no sign of taking Hit seriously.
"Time travel? The universe is vast; there are truly all sorts of things here!"
Son Gohan strolled towards Hit, and with each step Hit took, Hit stumbled backward. Every vital strike Hit delivered was futile, always being deflected by Son Gohan.
Call out!
Suddenly, Hit leaped into the air, his palm condensing purple energy, and used the Time Prison to trap Son Gohan.
"Haa..."
A purple aura condensed around Son Gohan, and as his aura gathered, it exploded instantly, dispersing the purple aura and breaking Hit's attack in an instant.
"W-what? Even this move!"
Hit released his Past-Life Space, creating a dense and continuous stream of clones that looked down at Son Gohan.
Son Gohan gathered the energy of the World-Shaking Palm in the center of his palms, and following Rose, the World-Shaking Palm erupted, releasing in the form of Flowing Net, forming a green energy grid around his body.
"Wow..."
The Time-Skip Space was forcefully broken by Son Gohan, and his fist struck Hit's face once again. Just as Hit was about to use Time-Skip, Son Gohan seized the opportunity to deliver an elbow strike to Hit's chest, causing him to let out a painful howl.
"Masenko!"
As Son Gohan unleashed a golden energy blast at Hit, sending Hit flying out of the barrier, the Protective Barrier shattered.
Son Gohan wins, a five-in-a-row victory! From Zhai Kou all the way to Hit at the very end.
"Universe 7 wins!"
With the referee's call, the World Martial Arts Tournament finally came to a close.
Vegeta cried out in frustration, "Damn it, I didn't even get a chance to play! Aaaaaah..."
Son Wuling patted Vegeta on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't be discouraged! I didn't even get to play, did I? Hahaha... Gohan is amazing! He took on five opponents at once and defeated everyone from Sixth Universe!"
Son Gohan scratched his head sheepishly and laughed, "No, if Dad and Uncle Broly hadn't pushed Zhai Kou to his limit, I wouldn't have been able to win so easily."
Buzz!
Suddenly, Whis and Vados saw something and discovered three figures emerging on the dilapidated arena.
The figure at the very center looks like a small, delicate child, with a blank expression and a flat head. It resembles a robot, with blue in the middle and purple on both sides. At the boundary between the colors, its eyes are dull and lifeless, yet it carries a strange and eerie feeling.
The other two standing to the left and right were the Zeno's two servants, dressed in purple buttoned robes with gold lace, their collars turned up, revealing only their eyes, with green skin and pointed gold hats on their heads.
Zeno! The supreme ruler of the universe, the master of all things, possessing absolute power, capable of destroying all universes in an instant.
Son Wuling also noticed that, under the vision of his Soul Eye, the Zeno was shrouded in an indistinct mist, making him impossible to see or touch.
The two guards beside the Zeno can see their souls, yet they can also see clearly.
Beerus, leaning back on the sofa, hadn't yet noticed the arrival of Zeno, and said smugly, "I won, Son Wuling! I've got the Super Dragon Balls! Hmph, you'd better thank me with gratitude!"
Whis's usual playful expression vanished, and he exclaimed, "Lord Beerus, look!"
The same thing was happening in Sixth Universe. Vados said to Champa, "Lord Champa, look!"
Beerus and Champa snapped out of their daze and saw the figure on the ring, sweating profusely. Their surprised voices were almost on the verge of collapse.
"Zeno..."
