Chapter Summaries

After clearing the Toriko world, Ye Chuan returned to his Small World and learned that the Second Myriad Worlds Arena Tournament had begun. As the first tournament’s champion, he watched from a luxury box with his family and Fubuki, where the opening match paired Krillin against Saitama.

• Ye Chuan returned to his Small World with Perona, Robin, and Hinata after clearing the Toriko world, and the system announced the start of the Second Myriad Worlds Arena Tournament.
• The system granted Ye Chuan champion privileges, transporting him and the women to a luxury viewing box where he examined the contestants with Six Eyes.
• Ye Chuan asked the system to bring Fubuki to the box, and she arrived startled before settling in with the others.
• The system announced the opening match between Krillin of the Dragon Ball universe and Saitama of the One-Punch Man universe.
• Ye Chuan explained that the contestants came from parallel worlds and were adjusted to their theoretical peaks, then watched the two fighters prepare to face off.

Saitama faced Krillin in the Arena and revealed overwhelming strength, shrugging off Krillin’s attacks with ease. As Saitama decided to end the match, he unleashed a Normal Punch at the ground in front of Krillin.

• Krillin initially relaxed when he saw that his opponent, Saitama, was also bald, while spectators assumed Saitama would lose quickly.
• Saitama’s casual punch sent a blast of wind across the platform, forcing Krillin to brace himself and recognize his opponent’s strength.
• Krillin used Solar Flare and fired a full-power Kamehameha, but Saitama dodged the attack with a small step.
• Krillin launched two Destructo Discs at Saitama, who caught and crushed them between two fingers.
• Saitama declared that he was bored, then used a Normal Punch aimed at the ground ten meters in front of Krillin.

After Saitama defeated Krillin by blasting him out of the ring, the Arena began its second match: Roronoa Zoro against Erza Scarlet. Erza’s armor-changing magic gave her the upper hand early, while Ye Chuan questioned Fubuki’s prediction that she would win.

• Saitama used a powerful blast of wind pressure to send Krillin out of bounds, winning the first match.
• Ye Chuan saw that Roronoa Zoro and Erza Scarlet were the next contestants and focused his attention on their duel.
• Erza opened the match by using Heaven's Wheel Armor and firing two hundred swords at Zoro.
• Zoro countered Erza’s sword barrage with Three-Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix, then attacked with Oni Giri.
• Erza changed into Adamantine Armor, which stopped Zoro’s three blades and sent him recoiling backward.
• Fubuki predicted Erza would win because her varied armors could counter Zoro’s attacks, but Ye Chuan said she had judged only the form of their fighting, not the root of their power.

Zoro defeated Erza by exploiting a brief opening in her Requip, and the arena’s next match began with Sanji fighting Rock Lee. Sanji outmaneuvered Lee in his normal state, prompting Lee to open the first three of the Eight Gates.

• Ye Chuan explained that Zoro’s strength lay in his three swords and that Erza’s armor changes left brief openings.
• Zoro struck during Erza’s Requip, shattered her Purgatory Armor, and defeated her with Three-Sword Style secret art: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai.
• The system declared Zoro the winner, and the arena announced a match between Sanji and Rock Lee.
• Rock Lee attacked Sanji with Taijutsu, but Sanji dodged his kicks and knocked him backward with Neck Meat.
• Rock Lee realized he could not win in his normal state and opened the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, and Gate of Life.

Sanji defeated Rock Lee after Lee chose not to open the Seventh Gate, ending their fierce Taijutsu match. The arena then revealed Satoru Gojo and Accelerator as the next opponents, and Ye Chuan began describing their battle as a clash of spear and shield.

• Rock Lee opened the Fifth and Sixth Gates and traded a barrage of flaming punches with Sanji's Diable Jambe kicks.
• Badly injured, Rock Lee considered opening the Seventh Gate but decided he had already shown everything he could and relaxed.
• Sanji struck Rock Lee with Premier Hachis, sending him beyond the platform and winning the match.
• The arena announced Satoru Gojo versus Accelerator as the fourth match, startling the spectators.
• Ye Chuan began explaining that the match would be a battle of the spear-and-shield paradox.

Ye Chuan explained how Satoru Gojo’s Limitless and Accelerator’s Vector Control made them seemingly impossible to hit, and their match became a stalemate as each nullified the other’s attacks. Gojo ended the fight with Infinite Void, overwhelming Accelerator’s ability to calculate and earning the victory.

• Ye Chuan explained to Hinata, Perona, and Fubuki that Gojo slowed approaching attacks with Limitless while Accelerator reflected vectors with Vector Control.
• Accelerator fired rubble at Gojo, but it slowed to a stop before reaching him, and Gojo’s Blue was reflected away by Accelerator.
• The two exchanged attacks, including Accelerator’s plasma wind blades and Gojo’s Red, but neither moved or landed a hit.
• Ye Chuan identified Accelerator’s reliance on calculation and predicted that Gojo had a way to overwhelm his mind.
• Gojo opened his Domain Expansion, Infinite Void, flooding Accelerator’s brain with information and disabling his calculations.
• Accelerator collapsed, and Satoru Gojo was declared the winner.

During the intermission, Ye Chuan relaxed with Robin, Hinata, and Perona while drawing the nervous Fubuki into their company. The fifth match began with Vegeta fighting Meruem, and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan transformation turned the battle sharply in his favor.

• After Satoru Gojo’s battle ended, the system announced a one-hour intermission, and Robin, Hinata, and Perona pampered Ye Chuan in the Royal Box.
• Ye Chuan invited Fubuki to sit beside him and teased her into feeding him treats.
• When the break ended, the system announced Vegeta versus Meruem as the fifth match.
• Vegeta attacked Meruem with energy blasts, but Meruem dodged them and struck Vegeta with his tail.
• Meruem criticized Vegeta’s crude fighting style, provoking Vegeta to transform into a Super Saiyan.
• Vegeta struck Meruem with a powerful punch that shattered his shell and sent him flying as purple blood sprayed.

Vegeta defeated Meruem with a Final Flash, and the sixth match began between ZERO and Might Guy. Ye Chuan identified ZERO as a transmigrator with Geass, but Guy attacked before ZERO could finish giving him a command.

• Vegeta fired his Final Flash and overwhelmed Meruem's Nen counterattack, winning the battle.
• The arena announced the sixth match between Code Geass ZERO and Konoha's Might Guy.
• Ye Chuan recognized that ZERO was a transmigrator and explained that his Geass could force a target to obey commands after eye contact and a spoken order.
• Ye Chuan pointed out that Guy's Taijutsu made him a strong counter to ZERO's ability.
• ZERO began issuing a Geass command, but Might Guy struck him with a Konoha Whirlwind before he could finish speaking.

Might Guy defeated ZERO in less than a second, then Ichigo Kurosaki faced Tanjiro Kamado in the Arena. Tanjiro’s ultimate Sun Breathing attack failed to harm Ichigo, who unleashed Mugetsu and left the match’s outcome hanging in the overwhelming pressure of his strike.

• Might Guy sent ZERO out of the ring with one kick, winning the match in under a second.
• The Arena announced Ichigo Kurosaki would fight Tanjiro Kamado, and Ye Chuan explained that Tanjiro used Sun Breathing while Ichigo had condensed his entire existence into one final strike.
• Tanjiro used Sun Breathing: Thirteenth Form, but his flaming attack left Ichigo unharmed and exhausted him.
• Ichigo formed a black blade of Reiatsu and swung Mugetsu toward the Arena’s false sky, creating a vast black fissure.
• Mugetsu’s residual Reiatsu swept over the ring, and Tanjiro faced its crushing pressure.

Ichigo Kurosaki defeated Tanjiro, and the arena began its eighth match between Sasuke Uchiha and Jotaro Kujo. Jotaro stopped time and battered Sasuke, but Sasuke's Rinnegan-triggered Susanoo helped him survive, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Ichigo Kurosaki won after his final strike knocked Tanjiro unconscious, then his transcendent form faded as he left the arena.
• The system announced Sasuke Uchiha versus Jotaro Kujo, and Ye Chuan explained that Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum, could stop time.
• Sasuke attacked Jotaro from behind, but Star Platinum blocked his sword strike and sent him flying.
• Jotaro stopped time and used Star Platinum to strike Sasuke with a barrage of punches.
• Sasuke's Rinnegan sensed the danger, and his Susanoo rib armor absorbed most of the blows before shattering.
• Sasuke survived the attack and rose from the rubble, surprising Jotaro.

Sasuke defeated Jotaro by using Amaterasu to overwhelm his time-stopping ability. During the intermission, Sōsuke Aizen and Gilgamesh entered the arena for the ninth match, and Aizen secretly released his Zanpakutō’s hypnosis as the fight began.

• Sasuke used Amaterasu to set Jotaro’s shoulder ablaze, and the flames disrupted Jotaro’s concentration and defeated him.
• The system declared Sasuke the winner, and Ye Chuan praised the battle while Robin read to him and Perona asked for a more exciting match.
• The system announced Sōsuke Aizen versus Gilgamesh, and Ye Chuan explained Aizen’s complete hypnosis and Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon.
• Gilgamesh summoned golden portals filled with weapons and ordered Aizen to kneel.
• Aizen calmly responded to Gilgamesh and secretly completed Illusion’s Shikai ritual.

Gilgamesh defeated Aizen by unleashing Ea after Aizen’s illusions enraged him, and Ye Chuan’s companions reacted to the overwhelming attack. The next match was announced as Son Goku versus Meliodas.

• Gilgamesh’s Noble Phantasms repeatedly missed Aizen, who revealed that he had trapped Gilgamesh’s senses in an illusion.
• Gilgamesh grew furious, summoned Ea, and unleashed Enuma Elish, destroying Aizen and half the platform.
• The arena declared Gilgamesh the winner, and Ye Chuan explained that Aizen had miscalculated by angering someone powerful enough to overwhelm his tricks.
• Robin reflected on Gilgamesh’s contradictory nature, while Perona and Fubuki worried about his destructive power and Perona asked whether Ye Chuan could beat him.
• Hinata declared that Ye Chuan was invincible, while Ye Chuan privately recognized Gilgamesh as one of his own Inheritance Templates.
• The system announced the tenth match between Son Goku and Meliodas.

Son Goku defeated Meliodas almost instantly with Perfected Ultra Instinct, inspiring Ye Chuan to deepen his understanding of the state. The eleventh match began between Caesar and Chrollo Lucilfer, and Chrollo struggled to determine why Caesar could recover from his attacks.

• Son Goku silently bypassed Meliodas's Full Counter and knocked him unconscious with a touch to the neck.
• Ye Chuan studied Son Goku's movement and realized that Perfected Ultra Instinct meant becoming a state in which the body acted as a perfect, independent universe.
• The arena announced the eleventh match between Caesar and Phantom Troupe leader Chrollo Lucilfer.
• Ye Chuan recognized Caesar as another being like himself and sensed that Caesar's soul contained two opposing, powerful forces.
• Caesar charged Chrollo with overwhelming strength, while Chrollo dodged and used Nen abilities to evade and attack him.
• Chrollo watched Caesar recover instantly from his attacks and wondered whether he had high-speed regeneration or an immortal body.

Caesar defeated Chrollo after his uncontrolled power destroyed Chrollo’s trap, then faced Ye Chuan’s unimpressed gaze. The twelfth match began between Kenpachi Zaraki and Heracles, whose opening blow sent Kenpachi flying and left his Zanpakutō cracking.

• Ye Chuan recognized Caesar’s powers as the combined inheritances of Kratos and Alucard, but judged Caesar’s control crude.
• Chrollo lured Caesar into a sealed room and summoned Indoor Fish to devour him.
• Caesar’s rage unleashed a tide of souls that erased the Nen Beasts and broke Chrollo’s plan.
• Caesar tore Chrollo in half, won the match, and stared provocatively at Ye Chuan, who remained unmoved.
• Kenpachi Zaraki and Heracles began the twelfth match, and Heracles’s first clash sent Kenpachi sliding a hundred meters while his Zanpakutō cracked.

Kenpachi Zaraki fought Heracles, whose Twelve Labours gave him eleven extra lives and resistance to attacks that had already killed him. After unleashing his Reiatsu and awakening Nozarashi, Kenpachi defeated Heracles and collapsed from exhaustion, leaving Ye Chuan admiring his path as a sword demon.

• Heracles repeatedly battered Kenpachi Zaraki, killing him with a blow through the heart, but Kenpachi rose again, thrilled by the fight.
• Ye Chuan explained that Kenpachi had restrained his own power and that Heracles's Twelve Labours granted him eleven spare lives and resistance to attacks that had killed him before.
• Kenpachi tore off his Reiatsu-draining eyepatch and fought Heracles on even terms, cutting through several of his lives as Heracles adapted to his attacks.
• As his slashes stopped dealing fatal damage, Kenpachi called out Nozarashi and transformed into a fiend with a massive broken blade.
• Kenpachi's transformed slashes cut through Heracles's remaining lives, and his final strike erased Heracles and his Twelve Labours.
• The system declared Kenpachi the winner, and he returned to normal and collapsed as Ye Chuan reflected on his path as a sword demon.

Ye Chuan silenced the Arena’s hecklers with Conqueror’s Haki, then watched DIO and Ryomen Sukuna begin the thirteenth match. DIO stopped time, but Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine began spreading anyway.

• Ye Chuan comforted Hinata and drew Fubuki into his embrace in the Royal Box, prompting jealous complaints from the spectators.
• Ye Chuan released Conqueror’s Haki, forcing nearly all the contestants in the Arena to kneel or lose consciousness.
• Ye Chuan noticed that DIO and Ryomen Sukuna remained standing, and the system announced their match.
• DIO activated The World and stopped time before attacking Sukuna.
• Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine began spreading through DIO’s frozen world, and Ye Chuan explained that DIO could not stop the domain’s rules from descending.

Sukuna defeated DIO, and the arena began its fourteenth match between Madara Uchiha and Isaac Netero. After their giant constructs clashed, Netero began to fall behind and resolved to use another move.

• Sukuna’s shrine filled with unavoidable slashes, cutting DIO into pieces and eliminating him from the tournament.
• Madara Uchiha and Isaac Netero appeared as the contestants in the fourteenth match.
• Netero opened with rapid attacks, but Madara blocked them with his Gunbai and dismissed his strength as insufficient.
• Netero summoned the 100-Type Guanyin, and Madara answered with Susanoo.
• The two giant constructs traded attacks until Netero began to lose ground, and he decided to use another move.

Madara Uchiha defeated Isaac Netero by cutting through his Zero Palm and destroying the 100-Type Guanyin, while Hinata revealed that Ye Chuan had once killed Madara and split his Perfect Susanoo. The tournament then began its fifteenth match between Trafalgar Law and Gildarts Clive, whose Crush magic shattered the arena around him.

• Madara Uchiha transformed his Susanoo into its Perfect form and cleaved through Netero's Zero Palm, shattering the 100-Type Guanyin and winning the match.
• Perona and Fubuki reacted in shock when Hinata explained that Ye Chuan had killed Madara during the Fourth Shinobi World War and split his Perfect Susanoo with one slash.
• The system announced the fifteenth match between Trafalgar Law and Gildarts Clive.
• Ye Chuan described Law's Op-Op Fruit and Gildarts's Crush magic as opposing powers of disassembly and destruction.
• Gildarts attacked Law by crushing the air and ground in front of him into countless cubes.

Trafalgar Law defeated Gildarts by removing and returning his heart, and Ye Chuan's tournament moved on to Byakuya Kuchiki versus Reinhard van Astrea. Byakuya's Senbonzakura could not harm Reinhard, so Byakuya released his Bankai.

• Luo used ROOM and Shambles to evade Gildarts's attacks, then removed his heart with Scalpel and won the match.

During the twenty-four-hour intermission, the contestants gathered at a lavish floating hotel, where an eliminated contestant confronted Ye Chuan and reached for Robin.
