The God of Destruction Realm of Universe 1.
"Respected Lord God of Destruction, please don't be so impatient. I came here to seek a chance of survival for Universe 1."
After temporarily gaining Iwne's interest, Hearts smiled confidently, then continued, "You should be able to sense our power. In a certain sense, I am also someone from Universe 1. Representing Universe 1 in battle, it seems no one is more suitable than me."
It had to be said, this guy would later be able to call himself the Godslayer for a reason. Even when facing a God of Destruction, he could remain calm and negotiate with him without blushing or his heart racing.
This was no longer simply being audacious. He was completely treating the God of Destruction as an ordinary existence and communicating calmly.
God of Destruction Iwne examined Hearts.
As a God of Destruction, how could he not see that Hearts had ulterior motives? He simply did not yet know what the other party's goal was.
If it were any other time, he definitely would not bother with him.
But right now was indeed a time when manpower was needed. Hearts and the Cumber he had brought were both quite strong, at least far stronger than the warriors he had arranged.
God of Destruction Iwne, whose thoughts had begun to move, exchanged a glance with Angel Awamo beside him.
Master and servant communicated through thought, and before long, they reached a conclusion.
"You are very special. You dare come directly to the God of Destruction Realm to negotiate with this god. This god does not care what your goal is, but this Tournament of Power concerns the survival of Universe 1. If this god detects any evil intentions from you, this god will make you disappear completely from this world." God of Destruction Iwne assumed a lofty posture, believing himself to be in control of everything.
He was too confident, even conceited. He clearly knew that Hearts and Cumber were plotting something, yet still agreed to their request.
This, in fact, was also the norm for Gods of Destruction. As beings who had always stood at the peak of the universe, they had never taken the lifeforms within the universe seriously.
To put it simply, the universe was merely a farm to certain Gods of Destruction.
"Of course. You are the respected Lord God of Destruction who governs the entire universe, while I am merely a mortal! My life and death are decided by a single thought from you." A smile appeared on Hearts's face, though that smile was not genuine.
To him, being able to participate was enough. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do certain things.
"The Tournament of Power will be held seven days from now. Come to the God of Destruction Realm to gather then. Don't be late." Angel Awamo narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded him.
"Of course, respected Lord Angel." Hearts smiled calmly, turned around, and led Cumber away using a special ability, disappearing from the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 1.
"Lord Iwne, is it really good for us to do this? Letting these two people participate just like that... if we're discovered, the consequences may be..." Angel Awamo reminded him.
"Extraordinary times require extraordinary methods. You also saw the battle between Beerus and that Saiyan before. That Saiyan will definitely participate. If we don't want to lose, we have to use some special means! Even if those two really do have some goal, it doesn't matter. As long as they can gain an absolute advantage for this god, in the end, it will definitely be a great battle between us Gods of Destruction." God of Destruction Iwne said conceitedly.
"Is that so..." Angel Awamo murmured and said nothing more.
...
On the other side.
Within the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 5.
At this moment, Universe 5, like Universe 1, also welcomed an uninvited guest.
Super Fu, who wandered through multiple time-spaces.
Because he learned that the Tournament of Power in the time-space Lin Chuan belonged to was about to be held, he devised a new plan.
Possessing Lin Chuan's cells, his previous strength was far beyond what the Fu from another timeline could compare to.
The fact that he dared to appear so openly in the God of Destruction Realm was enough to prove his confidence.
However, God of Destruction Arak of Universe 5 would not indulge him.
People from other time-space worlds appearing elsewhere could be ignored, but appearing before him was another matter.
"Destruction!" Arak did not hesitate to use the God of Destruction technique, intending to destroy Super Fu.
However, what God of Destruction Arak did not expect was that Super Fu not only did not panic in the slightest, but an extremely strange power surged from his body and casually dissolved his Destruction.
"What?! How did you do that?!" God of Destruction Arak revealed a look of disbelief. Destruction being dissolved was not something commonly seen.
What was the origin of this purple-skinned guy?
"God of Destruction of Universe 5, can we have a proper talk now? I didn't come here to fight you. We can cooperate." Super Fu wore a mysterious smile on his face. He had only one goal for this trip.
"Cooperate?!" God of Destruction Arak was puzzled, but he still intended to listen to what Super Fu's so-called cooperation was.
Immediately after, through Super Fu's explanation, Arak learned of his plan.
He was actually saying that he would send two powerful warriors from other time-space worlds to help him win this tournament.
This proposal made God of Destruction Arak frown slightly. He knew Super Fu had schemes, but the current situation of Universe 5 was not optimistic. Having outside powerhouses assist them was not a bad thing.
"Why should this god believe you? And how can you hide this from the Grand Priest and Lord Zeno?" God of Destruction Arak asked calmly in return.
"If you don't believe me, then there's no need for us to continue talking. However, in the other universes, there should be quite a few Gods of Destruction who would want to cooperate with me. In that case, farewell, Lord God of Destruction of Universe 5." Super Fu smiled mockingly and was just about to leave, only to be shocked by the powerful God of Destruction Power erupting behind him.
God of Destruction Arak was already on the verge of erupting. Judging from his posture, the moment they disagreed, he would leave Super Fu here forever.
"Yare yare, what astonishing God of Destruction Power. As expected of the God of Destruction of Universe 5. Are you trying to destroy me? I am only a clone. Even if you really destroy me, it seems to have no meaning at all." Super Fu spread his hands, showing no intention of resisting.
His existence was merely here to deliver a message. His main body was not in this time-space at all. As a clone, it did not matter if he was destroyed.
Hearing Super Fu say this, Arak's mood became even heavier.
Just a clone could dissolve his Destruction. Even if it was only a small portion of his power, it was enough to show that the main body's strength was powerful enough to contend with him.
Thoughts drifted through his mind, and the God of Destruction Power around God of Destruction Arak quickly dispersed. "This god will give you a chance. Explain this so-called cooperation of yours more clearly!"
"It seems you have changed your mind, Lord God of Destruction." Seeing this, Super Fu followed the flow and stated the contents of the cooperation.
...
At the same time.
Within the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 8.
Regarding the Tournament of Power, they had originally already prepared countermeasures and had long selected ten powerful warriors from Universe 8 for training.
The strength of these contestants could not be said to be heaven-defyingly powerful, but at the very least, they were at the level of quasi-Gods of Destruction.
During this final week, these warriors also began their final breakthrough according to the cultivation method given by Angel Korn.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred in the sky.
A power from another world tore open a tiny crack within the God of Destruction Realm.
Immediately after, a strand of indescribable dark red matter rapidly entered the body of a warrior who was meditating.
That warrior did not notice anything abnormal and continued cultivating on his own.
"What was that sudden spatial ripple just now?" Angel Korn's sharp perception seemed to sense something unusual.
However, after he scanned the entire God of Destruction Realm using Angel Power, he found nothing abnormal.
"Perhaps it was a spatial ripple caused by the power produced during their cultivation..." Although Angel Korn did not lower his guard, he could only temporarily think this way.
Little did he know that at this moment, an existence from another world had already extended its fangs toward this world.
...
There was also the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 12.
God of Destruction Giin, as the most meticulous and most unfathomable God of Destruction,
was currently calculating the future and also seeking a path of survival for himself.
The threat of Universe 7 was too great, not only that Saiyan Lin Chuan, but also Beerus!
In order to win the Tournament of Power, he could use any means necessary.
Although Universe 12's average level ranked among the top four, the number of warriors with powerful combat ability in the universe could be counted on one hand.
Ever since witnessing the battle between Lin Chuan and God of Destruction Beerus a year ago, God of Destruction Giin knew deeply that only powerful warriors could turn the tide.
Yet even though he exhausted all efforts searching throughout Universe 12, the number of quasi-God of Destruction-level warriors he could find could be counted on one hand.
Time was tight, and now only the final week remained. This made God of Destruction Giin worried.
Even if all the warriors had been gathered, if their strength was insufficient, no matter how many there were, they would be useless.
Just as he was deeply conflicted, Fu from the Xeno timeline appeared in the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 12.
His appearance was immediately detected by God of Destruction Giin and Angel Martinu.
"You are an existence from another time-space world? No, you are... an existence from another timeline!" Angel Martinu seemed to have seen something and spoke in challenge.
When God of Destruction Giin heard Martinu's words, he immediately looked at Fu in shock.
"An existence that does not belong to our world?! What purpose do you have in coming to my world?!" Unlike the anger and arrogance other Gods of Destruction showed when facing invaders, Giin acted very calmly.
"As expected of an Angel, you saw through my origin at a glance! And also God of Destruction Giin of Universe 12, even knowing that my origin is so mysterious, you can still maintain such composure." Fu said unhurriedly.
He also wanted to take a share in this Tournament of Power.
And the method he used was the same as Super Fu's.
Being afraid of death, he came to this universe of this time-space in the form of a clone.
"Hmph~! Enough nonsense. What is your purpose?" A killing intent flashed through God of Destruction Giin's eyes.
Angel Martinu also sealed the entire God of Destruction Realm in an instant.
"Since I came here, I never thought about leaving alive! And even if I die, I am only a clone. Speaking of which, Lord Giin should need help right now, shouldn't you?" Fu's words made God of Destruction Giin frown.
Angel Martinu beside him also became serious.
"What are you trying to say?" God of Destruction Giin questioned.
"I came here to cooperate. I can provide you with powerful warriors from other time-spaces to help you win the Tournament of Power." Fu directly stated his purpose, a trace of pride flashing through his eyes.
"Cooperation..." God of Destruction Giin muttered in a deep voice as he began planning in his mind.
Although he did not know who this guy from another timeline was, and he did not seem like a good person, the current situation was different from usual.
If it were any other time, this kind of ant would have already been exterminated by him.
[Lord Giin, perhaps this person can be used. Perhaps he really can bring us a surprise.] Angel Martinu transmitted her voice.
Giin heard this voice, and a special light flashed through his eyes.
"What makes you think this god would cooperate with you? Since you wish to cooperate, yet only sent a clone, how can this god believe you?" Giin was extremely experienced. With just one or two sentences, he struck Fu's sore spot.
"Why care about so much? Now is not the time for you to hesitate, Lord Giin. Since I came to find you, I know you lack powerful warriors! Moreover, according to what I know, this Tournament of Power is not an ordinary Tournament of Power. In the end, even you will have to enter the field." Fu's words caused stormy waves to rise in Giin's heart.
The other party actually understood things so thoroughly.
Seeing Giin merely looking at him without answering, a bloody light flashed in Fu's scarlet eyes. Without full confidence, he would not have appeared here.
"May I know what your decision is? Lord God of Destruction of Universe 12."
Asking once again was also probing Giin's thoughts once again.
After God of Destruction Giin pondered for a moment, he made his decision. "Cooperation is possible! But you must prove you have that ability!"
The moment his words fell, Giin required Fu to verify it. If those powerhouses from other time-spaces were fragile and weak, then not only would he refuse to cooperate, he would also leave behind every fellow who violated universal law.
In truth, as long as Universe 12 could survive, he did not mind joining hands with any existence, but the other party had to guarantee that he could win!
"You will feel fortunate, because you have made a wise decision." Fu smiled and pushed up his glasses.
"I hope so." Giin's expression remained unchanged as he waited for Fu's verification.
...
At the same time, aside from these four universes, the Gods of Destruction and Angels in the other universes were also taking action.
However, they were not as mysterious as these four highly ranked universes, nor did they intend to use so many shady methods.
Of course, in this Tournament of Power concerning life and death, the Gods of Destruction and Angels were also doing everything they could to give their own universes a greater chance of surviving.
Unlike the original work, they had already been given one year to prepare.
Just like this.
Before anyone knew it, seven days quietly passed.
