At this moment, Talot and Jiren had already entered a state of complete self-forgetfulness.
Who would emerge victorious, the survival or destruction of the universes, and the differences in their strength—all of these had been cast aside at this moment.
Both their bodies and souls were undergoing changes throughout this battle.
Even Talot could feel that the power of his bloodline was transforming toward a higher level during this battle.
Jiren’s pure mortal power had resonated with the power of his bloodline!!
The barrier to the level that had been troubling him all this time was about to be broken through.
…
Above the spiral arena.
The Grand Priest, standing on the spectator platform suspended in the void, looked down upon the increasingly intense battle unfolding in the arena.
Even his emotions, which had remained dormant for countless years, were stirred and awakened at this moment.
It had been many years since he had witnessed a battle of this level.
At least, from the birth of the universes in this world until today, only a handful of such battles had ever occurred.
On the supreme throne.
Zeno’s emotions had been stirred by the fierce battle between Talot and Jiren, and he was so excited that he waved his arms and danced around in place.
This was exactly the kind of battle he wanted to see. The Tournament of Power had been organized precisely for this purpose.
On either side of Zeno, the two Zeno’s Attendants appeared completely unperturbed, but tremendous waves of shock had already risen in their hearts.
Although these two mortals still had a long way to go before reaching their realm…
How many years had these two even been alive? Their future potential was limitless!!
Surpassing the gods, or even reaching the level of Angels, was entirely possible!
…
In the arena.
Talot and Jiren’s power continued to increase, and the battle grew increasingly intense. The speeds they unleashed had already surpassed light, and the attacks they launched in an instant numbered in the thousands upon thousands, densely packed and terrifying beyond imagination.
The level of existence that Jiren and Talot had reached had already surpassed anything ordinary mortals could attain.
With just a slight exertion of their strength, they could destroy heaven and earth. Even shattering an entire world would be no difficult task.
“What a formidable guy. In a contest of pure strength, you can actually match my Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker state, further enhanced by the power of the Great Ape • Legendary Super Saiyan.” After expressing his admiration, Talot pondered for a moment before continuing, “Until now, you’re the first!”
These words, brimming with fighting spirit, reached Jiren’s ears, causing the blood within his body to boil even more fiercely. The light surrounding his entire body also grew increasingly intense.
“I’ve fought countless opponents, but not a single one among them could compare to you.” As these cold, stern words fell, Jiren’s attacks became even more domineering and powerful. Like a roaring dragon, every move he unleashed carried the ultimate power of destruction.
A casual strike from him could shatter stars and crush all things.
The close-quarters battle continued to intensify. The arena beneath them had been ravaged beyond recognition by the shockwaves, breaking apart into enormous fragments.
‘Bang!! BOOM!!!’
Jiren’s heavy fist slammed into Talot’s chest.
Talot used the force of the impact to generate his own power, gathering strength before landing a kick squarely on Jiren’s abdomen.
Both were swept away by the opposing forces, flying backward for quite some distance before finally stabilizing themselves.
Separated by half the arena, the two stared at each other across the distance. The fighting spirit in their eyes erupted once more, while the energy within their bodies surged endlessly like erupting volcanoes. Boundless, magnificent light illuminated the vast Null Realm.
“Take this!!! Space-Shattering Fist!!” Talot clenched the five fingers of his right hand tightly, unleashing a powerful strike infused with the power of space across the distance.
“An attack of this level is useless against me!!” Jiren roared loudly, swinging his arm and throwing a punch. His powerful physical body erupted with unparalleled destructive force.
‘RUMBLE~~~!!!’ Explosions rang out without end, and scorching flames engulfed the surroundings.
Talot locked onto Jiren and attacked once again.
This time, he did not use the power of laws. Relying solely on his physical body, he unleashed unparalleled speed and charged directly in front of Jiren.
The instant Talot closed in, a red light flashed through Jiren’s eyes. In an instant, he unleashed Infinity Rush, bombarding Talot with thousands upon thousands of devastating strikes.
Faced with such overwhelmingly powerful attacks, Talot had no time to dodge. He crossed his arms in front of himself, blocking every one of Jiren’s attacks until he was finally blasted more than ten thousand meters away.
After forcefully suppressing Talot, Jiren did not stop there. He charged forward once again, appearing before Talot with lightning speed and throwing a powerful punch enveloped in scorching flames.
‘RUMBLE~~~!!!’ As his fist shot forward, waves of spatial explosions erupted. The entire surrounding area was instantly shattered by Jiren’s domineering punch.
However, Jiren did not relax because of this, for his attack had missed!
The instant Jiren closed in, Talot unleashed speed far beyond his limits, silently appearing behind Jiren.
“That attack of yours just now—I’ll return it to you!” Talot grinned, a red light flashing through his eyes as he unleashed something like Infinity Rush as well.
In an instant, the aura surrounding his entire body surged like a roaring dragon, crashing into Jiren in an endless barrage.
Sensing the intense danger behind him, Jiren quickly turned around and prepared to defend himself, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Countless devastating attacks bombarded Jiren’s body.
Under this heavy assault, Jiren was sent flying backward, countless fist imprints appearing across his muscular body.
Talot’s attacks were fierce, but Jiren’s physical body far surpassed others of the same level!
Although his actual strength was only at the peak of the Tenth Dimension, the toughness of his physical body was comparable to the eleventh dimension.
Attacks of this level could, at most, leave him aching for a while. They were nothing serious.
As he flew backward, Jiren erupted with aura to stabilize himself, and all the fist imprints on his body disappeared in an instant.
He did not attack again. Instead, he stood on a fragment of the arena and scrutinized Talot.
Talot also made no further moves. Crossing his arms over his chest, he wore a faint smile as he resumed his standoff with Jiren.
Although neither appeared to be doing anything, their auras had already begun pressing against each other, exerting tremendous invisible pressure on their opponent.
The previous rounds of combat had already given them a general understanding of each other’s strength.
In Jiren’s eyes, Talot was undoubtedly an expert capable of competing with him on equal footing.
But in Talot’s eyes, Jiren had already reached his limit.
Relying solely on power of this level, it was clearly impossible to bring about a qualitative transformation in the power of his bloodline.
He had to reveal his true abilities, forcing Jiren to surpass himself and unleash even greater power, placing Talot under more pressure so that he could complete this final step.
As the two stopped fighting, the atmosphere became extremely strange.
None of the spectators dared to relax in the slightest, swallowing nervously.
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive and seemed on the verge of erupting, an unexpected change occurred in another battle zone.
‘RUMBLE~~~!!!’ An unparalleled dark green light of destruction suddenly shot into the sky.
The instant this power erupted, even top-tier experts like Jiren and Talot had their attention drawn toward it.
The reason it attracted their attention was not because the energy that had suddenly erupted was particularly powerful.
Rather, it was because this power was far too unsettling, affecting everyone’s bodies and souls.
[Hmph! Just a show-off. Nothing worth worrying about.] After briefly sensing the energy, Jiren understood just how powerful it was.
Although it was somewhat unusual, that did not change its fundamental nature as an insignificant insect.
[I see. Has that little girl erupted with power? It seems to be because of the fluctuations of the Legendary Super Saiyan power within me.] Talot understood the cause and effect of the situation.
If his guess was correct, the source of this eruption of Legendary Super Saiyan power had been stimulated because of him.
The Great Ape • Legendary Super Saiyan power within his body had resonated with Kale, the Legendary Super Saiyan of Universe 6.
Because the eruption of energy was so ferocious, Kale had awakened ahead of time.
