“Super! Spiral! Destruction Beam!”
With a thunderous roar, the veins on Talot’s arms bulged as violent energy erupted from his hands, carrying the power to destroy everything as it once again pressed toward Jiren.
“What?!” The pressure against his hands suddenly skyrocketed, causing Jiren’s eyes to widen in disbelief.
Caught off guard by Talot’s sudden burst of power, Jiren was completely overwhelmed by the violent energy, which engulfed his body and blasted him down onto the arena.
‘BOOOOM~~!!!’
A terrifying explosion erupted, causing the entire arena to tremble violently. Contestants from every universe were affected to varying degrees. Some barely managed to remain in the arena, while others were directly blown away by the shockwaves.
The impact of this explosion far exceeded the Gamma Burst Flash that Jiren had endured earlier.
Jiren was being suppressed by Talot’s absolute power, and this development immediately affected every spectator.
To be frank, the situation had changed far too quickly, leaving countless people unable to react.
The monster who had previously overwhelmed someone as powerful as Vegeta was now being suppressed by Talot instead!
The Null Realm fell into deathly silence.
Mortals, Gods, and Angels alike held their breath, focusing their attention on the area of the explosion.
Had Jiren really been suppressed by Talot?!
…
While everyone’s attention was focused on Jiren, an equally fierce battle was taking place in another part of the arena.
Goku vs Toppo!
Although the battle wasn’t as intense as Talot vs Jiren, it was still extremely tense and exciting.
After the preliminary exhibition match, Toppo had returned to Universe 11 and undergone special training under his Angel and God of Destruction, bringing his strength to an even higher level.
Unfortunately, without awakening the Power of Destruction, he was still at a disadvantage against Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Evolved.
Their figures moved like ghosts, weaving back and forth through the surrounding space.
In just a few seconds, the two had already exchanged no fewer than a hundred blows.
Goku maintained the upper hand throughout the battle. The Saiyan trait of growing stronger as the battle progressed also began to manifest, placing increasingly immense pressure on Toppo.
At this moment, Toppo could clearly feel that his strength was no longer sufficient.
Goku’s power was far beyond what he could contend with in his current state.
This overwhelmingly oppressive power… made even breathing difficult for him.
“Hiyaaaaah~~!!!”
As the battle continued, Goku unleashed a long, powerful roar, and his fist, infused with deep-blue energy, shot forward with tremendous force.
‘BAAANG~~!!’
The devastating fist struck Toppo squarely in the face, its ferocious power sending him tumbling backward.
After suffering this heavy blow, Toppo continued flying backward, smashing through several towering pillars of Kachi Katchin. Only after sliding for a thousand meters did he barely manage to stabilize himself.
He felt his blood and energy churning violently within his body. He wanted to steady himself, only to discover that he simply didn’t have enough strength left.
“Damn it…!!” Toppo was unwilling to accept this, yet he was powerless to do anything. Goku’s overwhelming strength had exceeded his expectations.
As Universe 11’s candidate for God of Destruction, he would never allow himself to fall here.
Especially since… Jiren’s current situation wasn’t looking good either.
If he lost as well, Universe 11 would truly have no hope left.
“Let’s end this here… Toppo!! You’re no match for me!!” A sharp gleam flashed through Goku’s eyes.
Immediately afterward, he brought his hands together at his waist. Powerful God Ki gathered between his palms, and before long, a deep-blue energy sphere containing astonishing divine power took shape.
“Kamehameha!!”
Goku unleashed his classic finishing move, the Kamehameha.
Faced with the incoming bombardment of the deep-blue energy beam, Toppo’s expression changed dramatically. Given his current physical condition, he could no longer dodge.
Helpless, he could only withstand it head-on.
‘BOOOOOM~~~!!!!’
A deafening explosion rang out.
Relying on his exceptionally sturdy physique, Toppo temporarily managed to resist the advancing Kamehameha. However, he couldn’t maintain this situation for long. Once the Kamehameha completely engulfed him, he might even lose his life on the spot!
“Toppo, I’m glad we were able to fight to this extent, but now it’s time for you to leave the stage!” As Goku finished speaking, a deep-blue light flashed through his eyes. The muscles in his arms suddenly expanded, and vast, boundless God Ki erupted from his body in an instant.
At that very moment, the energy output of the Kamehameha expanded considerably.
The terrifying power rushing toward him instantly caused Toppo’s expression to change drastically. His final line of defense was completely shattered.
Violent energy engulfed his entire body, and an agonized scream erupted from Toppo’s mouth.
His figure was completely swallowed by the Kamehameha, until eventually, even his screams could no longer be heard.
Seeing this, Goku, who had been continuously pouring energy into the attack, immediately cut off the energy supply, and the Kamehameha dissipated.
If he hadn’t held back his power, Toppo might really have been killed by that attack.
According to the rules of the Tournament of Power, anyone who accidentally killed an opponent during battle would be immediately eliminated!
As the thick smoke from the explosion dispersed, Toppo’s miserable figure appeared before Goku’s eyes.
After taking the Kamehameha head-on, the upper half of Toppo’s uniform, which represented his identity as a member of the Pride Troopers, had completely vanished. His body was charred black, covered in burns inflicted by the Kamehameha’s energy.
Goku’s God Ki still lingered within his wounds. Toppo’s condition was now absolutely terrible, and his aura had also plummeted drastically.
“You’ve lost… Toppo. Leave the arena.” Goku gazed at Toppo with the bearing of a victor. He then raised his right hand and aimed it at Toppo, preparing to use a blast of divine power to eliminate him in one decisive strike.
However, Toppo’s face darkened as thoughts raced through his mind, as though he had made some kind of decision.
“No more… I don’t need justice anymore… For the survival of Universe 11… I must win… Even if I have to abandon everything!!” Toppo muttered in a low voice. As his words fell, something terrifying awakened within his body.
‘Buzz~!!!’ A deep purple light flickered around Toppo’s body.
The Power of Destruction that had been dormant within him was gradually awakening.
“This feeling… Is it Hakai?!” After sensing the Power of Destruction erupting from Toppo’s body, an expression of disbelief appeared in Goku’s eyes.
He was no stranger to the power of Hakai. Talot had once used the power of Hakai to resolve the crisis in the future timeline, and Beerus had used it against them on more than one occasion.
What he hadn’t expected was that someone in the Tournament of Power arena would also possess the power of Hakai! And that person was Toppo!
‘Crackle~~!!!!’
As the Power of Destruction within Toppo was activated, the chaos of the Null Realm began to stir. Several bolts of golden lightning descended from above Toppo’s head, striking the area around him.
At this moment, Toppo had already discarded everything unnecessary.
With the Power of Destruction activated, his potential was completely unleashed, and the injuries on his body were also healed. His entire being underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
His previously obese-looking physique became incredibly muscular, making him resemble a small giant radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
“This feeling… This isn’t good…” After sensing the Power of Destruction emanating from Toppo, Goku’s expression changed dramatically, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled down his forehead.
After unleashing the power of Hakai, the Toppo before him had experienced such an enormous increase in strength that even Goku no longer dared to underestimate him!
