Jiren Arrives, the Strongest Face the Strongest!
"I'm just curious whether there are warriors in other universes whose strength is no less than ours."
"After all, even the God of Destruction has to personally repair this arena."
Son Goku smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three God of Destruction who were repairing the damaged arena not far away.
Iwan, the God of Destruction of Universe 1; Arak, the God of Destruction of Universe 5; and Liger, the God of Destruction of Universe 8.
Vegeta followed Son Goku's gaze and was stunned by what he saw.
In his mind, God of Destruction are generally people who do destructive work, while the task of creation is usually left to the Supreme Kai.
It now appears that the God of Destruction not only destroy, but also create.
"Comparable to our warriors? You must be joking." Vegeta said dismissively.
He is now so powerful that even he himself is unaware of the extent of his power.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if he were facing the former God of Destruction, Rumsshi, he would be confident that he could completely defeat him within ten rounds.
That pink elephant was no match for him anymore.
Having reached such a level of power, he was well aware of what their existence represented; it was something that couldn't be achieved through ordinary cultivation.
According to what Whis said before, the Quasi-God of Destruction Realm is the limit that a life form in the universe can reach. Those who can truly reach the God of Destruction realm and are qualified to become God of Destruction are extremely rare.
He did hope that a warrior of God of Destruction would appear on the arena of this Tournament of Power.
However, in the end, he was still the one who won.
"That's hard to say..." Son Goku smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Just then, Whis gestured for everyone in Universe 7 to gather around.
"Before the competition begins, let me explain the rules of the Tournament of Power."
Anyone who falls out of the ring is eliminated; if they accidentally kill their opponent, they will also be disqualified from the competition.
"The arena in the World of Void will simulate the environment and gravity of the planet you are on. Moreover, to increase the entertainment value of the competition, a rule has been set: the Flight Technique you all use will be unusable on the arena, and everyone will lose the ability to fly."
"For the Universe 7 to continue to exist, everyone, please do your best, follow the rules, and win the match."
Whis explained all the rules of the Tournament of Power to everyone at once.
Upon learning that flying was impossible, some people, refusing to believe it, gave it a try.
For example Son Goten and Trunks, those two little guys, leaped into the air, preparing to use the Flight Technique to stabilize themselves, but were restrained by an invisible special force, preventing them from using the Flight Technique.
If you really can't use the Flight Technique, it means that once you're eliminated and knocked off the stage, you're truly knocked off.
"But what about those guys?" Vegeta glanced around, his words tinged with displeasure.
Following his gaze, everyone saw some strangely shaped contestants soaring through the sky of the World of Void in the distance.
The rule against flying is completely ineffective for them.
This scene drew everyone's attention, and they awaited Whis's explanation.
"Hehehe~! It's simple, because it's their innate racial ability, which can be excluded from the rules."
"Those wings are what allow them to fly."
Whis smiled slightly and explained casually, while also giving everyone a reminder.
When the match starts, if you knock off these guys' wings, they're done for.
"Being able to fly gives these guys a significant advantage." Android 18 narrowed her eyes, finding these individuals with peculiar abilities troublesome.
"That's not necessarily true." Son Goku took a step forward, his casual gaze sweeping over the contestants soaring in the sky. He then added, "The ability to fly is indeed impressive, but it also makes them easy targets. When the competition officially begins, they'll be the first to be eliminated."
After hearing Son Goku's explanation, everyone found it to be true, and at the same time, they mourned for the contestants with special abilities.
Despite seemingly possessing a huge advantage, they have actually become the first batch of prey to be targeted.
Once the competition begins, they will be the first to be eliminated.
"Lord Grand Priest, all personnel of the Universe 11 are ready." A melodious and ethereal female voice echoed from the void.
The sound captivated everyone's attention.
'Boom!!!!!!' In an instant, an incomparably dazzling pillar of light descended upon the World of Void.
Along with it came an immense, overwhelming pressure that made one's body, mind, and soul tremble.
"This feeling...!!" Every cell in Son Gohan trembled, his body instinctively sensing an immense sense of oppression.
A hint of surprise flashed in Vegeta's eyes, as if he understood what Son Goku had been waiting for.
"Surprised, aren't you?" Son Goku, who had expected this, shifted his expectant gaze to the spot where the white light was radiating.
As the vast white light dissipated, all ten contestants from the Universe 11 arrived.
One of them, a burly, bald man exuding a terrifying aura, was particularly eye-catching.
His power was fully displayed on the surface. Even without deliberately releasing his aura, the heavy pressure he unintentionally exuded made everyone feel uneasy.
He is Jiren the Gray, the strongest warrior of Universe 11!
Having just arrived in the World of Void, Jiren sensed a resonance with the powerful beings within him, and his cold eyes swept over the surrounding environment.
Son Goku also perked up at this moment. The eyes of the two supreme powerhouses clashed, and in an instant, the air pressure in the World of Void changed. All the contestants on the field, as well as the God of Destruction, were startled by this sudden impact.
This peculiar feeling... it's as if even if they went up, they would still lose!
[That guy is... that bald guy from Universe 11?!] Vegeta recognized Jiren, the bald guy whose strength even surpassed that of the God of Destruction.
But how could this guy's strength have improved so much? He's on a completely different level compared to when he fought Son Goku last time.
"That person must be the warrior Toppo mentioned before, right? He's unlike any other being I've encountered before..." Son Gohan thought heavily, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
His Saiyan intuition told him that this bald man was very strong, and not just ordinary strong!
Everyone's attention was drawn to the powerful Jiren, and Son Goku, too, became interested and slowly walked forward.
Jiren resonated with the feeling and took a step forward.
The strongest beings from Universe 7 and Universe 11 arrived at the same location, their eyes meeting.
A heavy atmosphere descended upon the Tournament of Power; everyone was on edge, their eyes glued to the scene before them.
