Justice? The Collapse of Toppo's Faith

Ryan strolled leisurely toward Son Wuling and the others! Each step felt like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts.

Vegeta stepped forward, gritting his teeth, and shouted at Ryan, "You could easily kill us with your power, but it's because of the rules of the Tournament of Power that you're held back and unable to use your full strength."

Ryan shook his head and smiled, "Although there are rules, I have never killed anyone without a reason, Mr. Vegeta."

"Under normal circumstances, I would look forward to your combined warriors, but I'm sorry, I'm not the only one standing behind me. Shatter, my world!"

The energy of the Ultra Instinct merged into the spatial fragments, dense, scattered, and flying at low altitude; this time, it could no longer lie on the ground.

"That trick again!"

Son Wuling's figure was like a phantom, his Ultra Instinct form leaving a trail of afterimages as he passed through the fragments of space and threw a Spiral Destructo Disc toward Ryan.

Click click...

Space shattered, and a dark, viscous Black Hole absorbed Son Wuling's Spiral Destructo Disc.

Call out!

Just as the Black Hole transformed into White Hole, the Spiral Destructo Disc rebounded, but Son Wuling had already anticipated this move. Instant Transmission behind Ryan, and the silver Destructo Disc slashed towards Ryan.

"Ouch..."

Son Gohan, Vegeta, Son Goku continuously unleashed Energy Blast, constantly destroying the spatial fragments that attacked them.

Jiren, Caulifla, Kale dodged and weaved through the spatial fragments as if dancing.

"Compared to the previous wave of spatial fragments, both their speed and power have decreased significantly. Are they afraid of harming us?"

Jiren, who was always aloof, revealed a smile. A halo of light condensed around him, and his power erupted. He pierced through the rain of spatial fragments and attacked the exhausted Android 21 with all his might.

"What?"

Jiren's fist glowed with intense heat as he slammed it into Android 21's face, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Boom...

"Ahhh..."

Jiren blasted Android 21 away, sending him flying through the air. Spatial fragments rained down on him, and Ryan's Ultra Instinct power clung to Android 21 'Android 21 body, causing him to fly uncontrollably backward and crash onto the arena.

Caulifla, who was dodging with Kale in the distance, suddenly brightened up. Although Broly hadn't eliminated the two of them, he had pushed them to their limits. If they weren't Saiyan, most people wouldn't be able to move by now.

"Kale, can you do it? Let's all go together! We'll help Ryan eliminate one by one!"

Caulifla looked at Android 17, Number 18, Rose, who were currently dodging the spatial fragments, and smiled.

"I, of course I can do it, sister!"

Kale this moment, Kai's long, grass-green hair stood on end, and her eyes were cold and sharp. Although she had regained her rationality, her strength was far less than before, and she was much less violent and crazy.

"Aaaaah..."

With a final, frantic shout, Caulifla and Kale unleashed their last burst of power, hurtling towards Android 17, Rose, and Number 18.

"What?"

Although she realized what was happening, it was too late. Android 17 was held tightly by Kale, who roared and charged towards the edge of the ring.

puff...

Rose's figure was like a phantom, dodging Caulifla's attack under her astonished gaze. Rose's elbow strike landed hard on Caulifla's abdomen, and her Super Saiyan 2 transformation collapsed instantly.

"Mom, come quick!"

Rose effortlessly lifted Caulifla and placed her in front of her and Number 18.

"Aaaaah..."

Caulifla let out a painful scream. In the distance, Ryan dodged Son Wuling's Destructo Disc and landed lightly on the ground, quickly dispersing the spatial fragments.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the stage, Android 17 and Kale together, and their most important support, Android 21, was also eliminated by Jiren.

"Those guys from Universe 7 are despicable! They're using people as shields!"

In the stands, Kale was healed by Vados, and Champa angrily shouted at Rose.

Toppo ring to his chest, he shouted righteously, "Such behavior is absolutely not just!"

Rose clenched her fists involuntarily, making a cracking sound as her bones clashed. She accepted Champa's accusations of being despicable and didn't feel she had done anything wrong, but Toppo of justice, his very sense of righteousness, infuriated her.

"Eleventh Universe, that guy named Toppo, always talking about justice, I've had enough of you!"

Rose trampled Caulifla under her foot, pointed her finger at Toppo, and let out a girlish shout that silenced the entire arena.

"Justice, the justice you speak of is nothing more than your Pride Troopers playing the trick of heroes fighting crime, gaining worship and admiration. You, who have always been so high and mighty, are completely outside the rules. Can you even see what is within the rules?"

"Within the rules? What are you talking about, little girl!" Toppo looked at Rose on the arena. The girl was still young and shy, her figure budding. She was already eleven years old, with a pair of deep and lively blue eyes.

Rose's tender voice reached everyone's ears as she said, "Have you ever seen the lives of ordinary people? They don't have the same strength as us. They toil and struggle for their daily meals. They fight against the heavens, the earth, and other people. Their lives are very hard. When disaster strikes, they even lose their humanity."

"Toppo, those who worship you are all people within these rules. Have you ever seen a famine where leaves, bark, and roots are all eaten away?"

"I..."

Toppo's pupils trembled, his fists clenched involuntarily, and he stared intently at Rose on the arena.

Rose persisted, saying, "Many people who turn to evil are forced by their surroundings. The environment can lead people to two extremes. One is someone like you, and the other is the evil person you speak of. You always have justice on your lips, but have you ever truly understood it? You call yourself a candidate for God of Destruction, yet you don't even understand these simple principles."

"I..."

Toppo wanted to refute, but didn't know how to counter it. Was his sense of justice simply an extreme case?

"Toppo, don't be fooled by her words!"

Seeing that Toppo's faith was beginning to crumble, Belmod quickly called out.

"Deception? Lord God of God of Destruction of Eleventh Universe, how could I have deceived you!"

Rose's cold, sharp eyes made Toppo dare not look directly at her.

"By the way, I don't know if your Eleventh Universe has creatures like wolves and sheep. In the biosphere, wolves prey on weak sheep, and your justice protects the sheep from wolves. But for the wolves, this justice is tantamount to destruction, because they will starve to death because of your justice."

"My justice is destruction! My justice is destruction! I'm not fit to be a God of Destruction Candidate! My justice is destruction?"

Toppo looked at his hands; his faith had crumbled. His mind was in turmoil, and he desperately wanted to leave and find a secluded place.

"Hmph... It's already collapsed? God of Destruction Candidate? Tch!"

Rose curled her lip, then kicked Caulifla away, sending her flying out of the ring and eliminating her.

There are ten minutes left in the game, and eight people remain on the stage: Ryan, Jiren, Son Wuling, Son Goku, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Rose Number 18!
