Seeing Belmod’s arrogant expression, Beerus felt rage surging in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
There was no helping it. The facts were right before his eyes. Vegeta had lost.
However, the more arrogant someone was, the more miserable their eventual fate would be. He would let Belmod enjoy his arrogance for a little while longer.
“It seems our previous worries were completely unnecessary. That God Ki was indeed formidable, but it still wasn’t enough to defeat Jiren. Let’s take a look at the despairing expressions of the contestants from the other universes…” Supreme Kai Khai swept his gaze across all the contestants in the Tournament of Power arena.
He had originally thought that Jiren’s overwhelming defeat of Vegeta would intimidate the others, perhaps even causing the contestants from the other universes to lose their confidence and willingness to continue fighting.
However, reality was precisely the opposite.
The contestants from the other universes had not lost their fighting spirit because of this. On the contrary, Jiren’s overwhelming strength had further stimulated their will to fight.
“It seems the contestants from the other universes are far stronger mentally than we imagined. Even after witnessing Jiren’s power firsthand, there’s no fear in their eyes,” Angel Marcarita said with a mischievous smile.
…
In the arena.
After dealing with Vegeta, the cold and aloof Jiren turned around to confront Talot.
After witnessing his power, there probably wouldn’t be any more idiots foolish enough to come looking for trouble.
His body had already warmed up, and his fighting spirit had been aroused. At this point, even a God of Destruction stepping forward wouldn’t be able to stop him.
“Now, no one will interfere with us,” the cold and ruthless Jiren said, an intense fighting spirit burning in his eyes, their depths filled with a longing for battle.
If someone like Vegeta could be this powerful, just how strong would Talot, standing before him, be?
“That’s right. No one will interfere with us anymore.” The corners of Talot’s mouth rose, and a burning fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.
Although Jiren’s strength was inferior to his own when he went all out, this pure mortal power was far, far more enticing than God Ki.
Immediately afterward, with a thought, Talot activated the dormant power of his bloodline, and a vast, surging crimson aura erupted from his body.
‘Whoooosh~~!!’ In an instant, deep crimson flames of energy suddenly surged upward from the ground, piercing through the chaos of the Null Realm and causing the realm to tremble.
An unimaginably powerful Ki, accompanied by an overwhelmingly domineering pressure, instantly enveloped the entire Null Realm.
In an instant, space trembled, and ripples spread in every direction.
This sudden and violent change caused Jiren’s eyes to widen. The other contestants in the arena were also intimidated by this terrifying power.
Whether it was the eliminated contestants in the spectator stands, the contestants still remaining in the arena, or even the Gods of Destruction, Angels, Supreme Kais, and even Zeno and the Grand Priest, everyone’s attention was drawn toward him.
Although there was a trace of divinity within this incomparably powerful energy, its essence was still mortal power.
‘Rumble, crackle~~!!’ Countless enormous rocks were hurled into the air by Talot’s formidable aura, only to be completely annihilated in the next instant.
The entire Tournament of Power arena within the Null Realm shook violently at this moment, faintly showing signs of collapse.
At the center of the deep crimson light, Talot appeared in the Null Realm in an entirely new form.
His body was covered in fiery red fur, and his bright crimson hair extended down to his waist. His overwhelming aura radiated an unparalleled pressure, and the mere Ki he unconsciously released was enough to rival the scorching heat of the sun.
This was Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker!
“This power…” After sensing Talot’s overwhelming aura, Jiren’s expression underwent a subtle change.
This opponent, whose entire body radiated terrifying heat and a frightening aura, was exactly the kind of opponent he had been longing for!
…
On Universe 7’s side.
“Super Saiyan 4, huh? I’ve finally been waiting to see this form.” Beerus crossed his arms over his chest, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. He already knew the final outcome of this battle.
He had personally experienced just how formidable Talot’s strength was in Super Saiyan 4.
Although Jiren was powerful, there was absolutely no way he could be Talot’s opponent. There was a fundamental difference between their levels of strength.
“Just the heat radiating from his aura alone is enough to rival the sun. Although it isn’t divine power, it surpasses the power of the gods,” Whis murmured to himself.
“Can he really defeat someone like Jiren with just this Super Saiyan 4…?” The East Supreme Kai had his doubts.
It wasn’t that he questioned Talot’s strength. Although the power of Super Saiyan 4 was formidable, it was still far inferior to Super Saiyan Blue 3.
Even Vegeta, in Super Saiyan Blue 3, had lost to Jiren. He simply couldn’t imagine how Talot could win with Super Saiyan 4 alone.
[Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker… Let me witness the true power of this form.] Vegeta’s heart was heavy as he watched the battle with complete concentration.
As the prince of the Saiyans, he had an almost obsessive longing for Super Saiyan 4.
…
On Universe 11’s side.
“Quite an astonishing aura. Although there are fluctuations of God Ki within it, God Ki has been reduced to a supporting role, with his own power taking precedence?” Supreme Kai Khai was stunned by the terrifying aura Talot had unleashed.
This was the first time he had felt such intensity and suppression from someone other than Jiren.
“It seems Jiren has finally encountered a worthy opponent this time,” Angel Marcarita said with an insincere smile.
“So what? This Saiyan named Talot is indeed quite powerful, but at most, he’s only about as strong as that Vegeta. How could they possibly imagine the extent of Jiren’s strength? No matter who his opponent is, Jiren can never lose!” Belmod was exceptionally confident in Jiren’s strength. After all, Jiren was someone he had personally acknowledged. In his eyes, no matter who the opponent was, they could never surpass Jiren.
Jiren’s strength stood at the pinnacle of mortals, even surpassing the realm of the gods!
…
On the supreme throne.
After witnessing this scene, Zeno excitedly waved his arms and legs.
The fierce battle between Vegeta and Jiren earlier had already piqued his interest. Just how spectacular would the battle between Jiren and Talot be?
Zeno was already growing impatient with anticipation.
As for the Grand Priest, who stood on the platform suspended in the void, he had also become interested in this battle.
One was the representative of the timeline whom he had personally acknowledged, while the other was the strongest warrior in their timeline.
The battle between these two was bound to be extremely exciting.
