At this moment, on Universe 7’s side.
Son Gohan had originally planned to have everyone stick together so that the fighters from the other universes would not have the chance to pick them off one by one.
However, that was merely the kind of method the weak would choose.
The other contestants had no intention of listening to his arrangements, especially his father Goku, who was the first to refuse.
As an out-and-out battle maniac, the intensity at the start of the Tournament of Power had already stimulated the fighting genes within Goku’s body.
Long before the tournament even began, he had been imagining an intense battle where he fought a hundred opponents alone.
Now that the great battle he had been longing for day and night had appeared before him, how could he possibly let such a wonderful opportunity to fight slip by?
“Hehe~! Gohan, you guys stay here. I’ll go on ahead!!” His desire for battle took control of his mind, and Goku immediately sprang into action, charging straight out.
His target this time was none other than Toppo, whom he had fought during the exhibition match.
“Toppo!! Fight me again!!” Goku let out a low battle roar and charged straight toward the area where Toppo was, completely ignoring the fact that Toppo was currently engaged in a contest of strength with Universe 6’s Auta Magetta.
“Goku?!” Toppo’s attention was drawn away by Goku’s sudden appearance, exposing an opening, and Auta Magetta sent him flying with a heavy hammer strike.
Meanwhile, Goku was intercepted by others in the middle of his charge.
“Lord Quitela has given the order! Target Universe 7! Eliminate them all!” Universe 4’s birdman Ganos was the first to attack, charging directly at Goku.
However, he seemed to have failed to understand where his own strength stood.
In Goku’s eyes, someone at his level was not even worth transforming against.
“Don’t get in my way!!!” Goku directly unleashed a barrage of rapid, high-intensity attacks on Ganos.
The fierce offensive immediately threw Ganos into disarray. After taking more than a dozen punches from Goku, he was sent flying away violently.
Although Goku had not transformed, the strength of his base form was still not to be underestimated.
His fists were far beyond what ordinary beings could withstand.
Ganos was badly injured, but not yet to the point of losing his ability to fight.
Just as Goku was about to reach Toppo, the warriors of Universe 10 charged out forcefully.
The monk Murichim and the pig-headed sumo wrestler Napapa.
Napapa directly rammed Goku away, while Murichim interrupted the clash between Toppo and Auta Magetta.
It had to be said that these muscular brutes from Universe 10 did have some skill, especially Murichim, who was even capable of facing Toppo head-on for a while.
Although he was no match for Toppo, the fact that he could briefly contend with him was already enough to demonstrate his strength.
At this moment, Goku, who had been knocked away, rubbed his slightly dizzy head and swept his gaze around. He had originally wanted revenge, only to discover that the pig-headed sumo wrestler Napapa, who had ambushed him just now, had long since vanished without a trace.
“Hm?!” Goku suddenly trembled instinctively, because in his line of sight, a heavyweight figure had appeared.
That person was none other than Jiren, who had just given him a show of force!
Now he understood why Napapa had run away faster than a dog.
With someone like Jiren here, who would dare act recklessly?
【This is troublesome. I didn’t expect to run into this guy directly here.】Goku could only feel his heartbeat quicken as every cell in his body sent out a signal of extreme danger.
Jiren’s strength was beyond imagination. Even while simply standing still, he made Goku feel tremendous pressure.
It felt as though he were about to suffocate.
Even if he brought out all of his strength to fight Jiren, he would probably still find it difficult to gain the upper hand.
He cautiously guarded against Jiren, yet Jiren merely cast him a disdainful glance and made no further move.
That gaze seemed to be telling Goku that he was not yet qualified to fight him.
【This guy… is he looking down on me? Damn it!】Seeing this, Goku was unwilling to accept it, yet there was nothing he could do.
Jiren indeed had the qualifications to look down on him.
While Goku was fully on guard against Jiren, Universe 4’s masochist Nink attacked from behind, forcibly locking Goku’s body in place and carrying him toward the edge of the arena. Judging from the situation, he intended to take Goku down with him.
This scene made Jiren look down on Goku even more.
For Goku to actually be successfully ambushed by trash like this, he was simply far too weak.
“Hehehe… Lord God of Destruction has given the order. When we encounter anyone from Universe 7, not a single one is to be spared!” Nink laughed ferociously.
His masochistic nature erupted. The more Goku struggled and attacked his body, the more excited he became!
Pain was converted into power, and Nink’s strength continued to increase. Just as he was about to jump off the arena together with Goku, Goku timely erupted with the God Ki within his body and transformed into Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Only then was he able to break free from Nink’s restraints and eliminate him from the match.
After successfully breaking free, Goku once again scrutinized Jiren with his gaze. However, by this point, the person Jiren was paying attention to was no longer him.
Following Jiren’s gaze, he discovered that the person locking eyes with Jiren was none other than Talot.
【Could it be… the two of them are going to…!!】Goku sensed Jiren’s battle intent. It was directed at Talot.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed a step behind right now.
The strongest person in their Universe 7 at present was Talot.
The strongest of Universe 11 and the strongest of Universe 7.
If these two fought, it would be an unprecedented psychological blow to the other contestants.
“You want to fight me? I was thinking the same thing.” Talot naturally had no reason to refuse Jiren’s active challenge.
Talot took a step forward, the S-cells within his body activating as he instantly entered Super Saiyan 1 Full Power.
His violent aura swept out in all directions like a tornado, its terrifying pressure directly causing the arena to tremble.
Feeling the powerful aura rushing toward him head-on, Jiren remained expressionless. With nothing more than a look, he erupted with an aura comparable to Talot’s Super Saiyan 1 Full Power.
The two auras counteracted each other out, and the resulting storm mercilessly bombarded the surroundings.
The two of them were completely unaffected, but the impact of their auras made things miserable for the contestants in the other areas of the arena.
This ferocious pressure was completely beyond anything they could compare with. Even the shockwaves produced by their Ki nearly blasted them off the arena.
Every warrior in this area instinctively distanced themselves from Talot and Jiren, not daring to approach these two monsters in the slightest.
“Quite an astonishing aura. Fine, I’ll play with you for a while.” Talot was drawn in by the immense aura Jiren was giving off.
This was the first time he had encountered such pure power—something that was not God Ki, yet could rival God Ki.
The battle intent that had lain dormant for who knew how long was also ignited at this moment.
However, just then, an unexpected change occurred.
