In the arena.
Talot and Jiren had become the center of everyone’s attention.
Taking heavy steps toward Jiren, Talot’s Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker form unconsciously released a wild aura that caused space to fluctuate. The power released with every step caused the entire arena to tremble violently.
The terrifying power brought about by the combination of his bloodline power and God Ki was, in a certain sense, of the same nature as Jiren’s power.
“Excellent!” Jiren let out a deep growl, an intense fighting spirit bursting from his eyes. His muscular body also began to move at this moment, taking heavy steps as he steadily advanced toward Talot.
At the same time, his aura pressed down toward Talot.
Their auras collided, and the terrifying pressure stirred the entire Null Realm, causing the enormous spinning-top arena beneath their feet to shake with increasing intensity.
Everyone held their breath, focusing their attention on this earth-shattering battle.
In a flash… the fierce battle… erupted!
Talot made the first move. Without using the power of space, he relied solely on his physical body to unleash unparalleled speed, charging directly in front of Jiren and delivering dozens, even hundreds, of powerful attacks in an instant.
Faced with Talot’s offensive, Jiren sprang into action. While instantly evading every attack, he turned and unleashed a full-powered strike.
‘Bang~~!!!’ Space trembled, ripples spread in every direction, and an ear-piercing roar echoed through the void.
Jiren’s punch was blocked by Talot, who completely neutralized all of its impact.
If Vegeta had been in his place, even in his Super Saiyan Blue 3 transformation, he would probably have been sent flying by that single punch.
Yet against Talot in Super Saiyan 4, the attack was like a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to create even the slightest ripple.
This situation left Jiren both shocked and delighted.
“Your power shouldn’t be limited to just this. Are you still not planning to use your full strength? Or… do you want us to take our time playing?” Talot asked Jiren with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiren’s gaze sharpened.
In the next second, a violent and terrifying light of flames erupted from his body. The frightening surge of energy instantly forced Talot backward.
“Since you don’t intend to use your full strength, then let’s take our time playing.” A sharp gleam flashed through Talot’s eyes as he mobilized the power of his bloodline, causing his aura to erupt once again.
The crimson light of his bloodline and the scorching light of Jiren’s flames, two completely different powers, confronted each other within the Null Realm.
The entire world seemed to have been divided into two opposing halves at this moment.
Jiren and Talot had now become the two central figures of the Null Realm.
Their energy continued to expand at an astonishing rate.
When their auras reached a certain level, both simultaneously restrained their auras and erupted out with extreme speeds invisible to the naked eye, charging toward each other like flashes of dazzling light.
‘BOOOOM~~!!!’ An explosion powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth erupted.
And so, this earth-shattering battle officially began.
Jiren and Talot clashed fiercely in the arena, the intensity of their battle beyond anything words could describe.
Under the force of their overwhelmingly powerful strength, the rules of the Null Realm were broken, and their battlefield shifted from the arena into the void itself.
The Tournament of Power arena could no longer accommodate the battle between these two!
Deafening spatial shockwaves echoed through the void. The sheer magnitude of their power and the terrifying force of their attacks made it impossible for anyone below the Tenth Dimension to approach!
At this moment, Talot and Jiren were undoubtedly Tenth Dimension-level warriors.
This battle had only just begun, yet it had already made some of the Gods of Destruction feel inferior.
‘Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom~! …’ The thunderous sounds of their physical clashes continuously echoed through space.
Deep crimson lightning of destruction exploded throughout the void. This unimaginable battle even caused the chaos of the Null Realm to fluctuate.
Countless bolts of deep crimson lightning descended from the area where they were fighting, relentlessly bombarding the Tournament of Power arena.
This made things miserable for the other contestants in the Tournament of Power.
Those who weren’t strong enough could only keep running. If they were caught in even a single shockwave, they could very well lose their lives on the spot.
Even if they survived, they certainly wouldn’t come out unscathed!
The battle grew increasingly intense, with both Jiren and Talot continuously increasing the power of their attacks.
Jiren launched an all-out assault against Talot, holding nothing back. Every move and technique contained the ultimate power of destruction. If anyone else in the arena whose strength was below the Ninth Dimension took even a single punch, their body would explode on the spot!
However, this fierce offensive had little effect on Talot.
Whether in terms of strength or physical toughness, Talot was no weaker than Jiren. In a certain sense, he was even far stronger than Jiren.
“Quite a heavy punch. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such an exciting workout.” The fighting spirit in Talot’s eyes was ignited, and in an instant, a terrifying counterattack poured down upon Jiren’s body like a raging torrent.
As Talot’s counterattack began, Jiren clearly felt considerable pressure.
When it came to hand-to-hand combat, he couldn’t gain any advantage over Talot.
Jiren decisively changed his battle strategy. Using the force of Talot’s attacks, he pulled away to create some distance. Clenching one hand, he gathered all his energy into his palm.
Talot anticipated this and simultaneously condensed energy in his own palm.
“Overheat Magnetron!” A beam of deep crimson flaming light, compressed to the absolute limit, erupted from Jiren’s hand.
The destructive power of this attack was not even inferior to Vegeta’s Gamma Burst Flash.
Even an opponent of the same level might not be able to neutralize it easily.
However, Talot wasn’t on the same level as him!
With a casual raise of his hand, Talot released an energy laser that effortlessly pierced through and neutralized Jiren’s Overheat Magnetron.
This scene caused Jiren’s already large eyes to widen even further, as though his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
He could accept Talot neutralizing his Overheat Magnetron, but he had never expected his opponent to shatter it in such a manner!
It was as though… he had merely done something utterly insignificant.
“Spiral Destruction Beam!” Talot launched an attack the instant Jiren became distracted.
A spiraling pillar of deep crimson energy instantly shot forth, heading straight for Jiren.
Faced with this powerful energy attack rushing toward him, Jiren’s expression turned solemn.
Just moments ago, Talot had effortlessly neutralized his Overheat Magnetron.
Now, he wanted to give Talot the same response by crushing the Spiral Destruction Beam!
But reality was cruel. What Jiren envisioned was something he couldn’t truly accomplish due to the limitations of his strength.
‘BOOM~~!!’ The Spiral Destruction Beam was far more powerful than imagined. Jiren couldn’t block it with just one hand. The energy continuously forced him backward, and with no other choice, he had to use both hands. Only then did he manage to withstand the energy of the Spiral Destruction Beam and regain control of his body.
However, upon noticing that Jiren had blocked his Spiral Destruction Beam, a sharp gleam flashed through Talot’s eyes. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upward, revealing a mischievous grin.
