c138: A Conference of Power with Strong Men like Lin
As the Grand Priest spoke, the vast World of Void fell completely silent. His voice carried across the boundless arena, commanding absolute attention.
He paused briefly, then smiled faintly and continued:
"The duration of this Tournament of Power shall be one hundred taks, which is equal to forty-eight Earth minutes. During this time, all contestants are strictly forbidden from using flight techniques through ki control. Of course, if one is naturally capable of flying such as having wings.that is permitted. In addition, the use of outside objects to restore stamina is prohibited, including items such as Senzu Beans. Furthermore, killing opponents is strictly forbidden anyone who kills will be considered eliminated. Contestants may not wield weapons or tools beyond their own natural abilities or ki techniques. Finally, once a fighter is knocked out of the arena, even if still conscious, they will be immediately eliminated. Only by remaining on the stage does one stay in play."
He looked around solemnly. "These are the rules. Engrave them into your hearts."
"In other words, we can't eat senzu beans?" Gohan muttered in disappointment, recalling how often those beans had saved their lives in past battles.
Piccolo folded his arms calmly. "It doesn't matter. The match lasts less than an hour. If we fight carefully and pace ourselves, we can endure until the end."
Krillin sighed. "But without the Bukūjutsu, the Air Dance Technique… we'll be missing one of our biggest advantages!"
Master Roshi stroked his beard and spoke slowly. "Don't forget, this rule applies to everyone. Equal restrictions make the fight fairer. We must rely only on our skills."
At that moment, the Grand Priest raised his voice again:
"Another point. If all ten fighters from a universe are eliminated, that universe will immediately be declared the loser. The Omni-King will personally erase that universe from existence. So consider this carefully your very survival depends on this battle."
The atmosphere shifted instantly. Even warriors hardened through countless battles felt a suffocating weight.
"However," the Grand Priest added, "the universe that emerges victorious will be awarded the Super Dragon Balls seven planet-sized wishing orbs capable of granting any wish without limitation."
His announcement echoed like thunder.
"Now then… let us have the present Omni-King and the future Omni-King announce the official start!"
The two Zenos tiny in form yet infinite in power stood up simultaneously. Every god present rose as well, their bodies stiff with reverence.
"Now then… the Tournament of Power… begins!!"
"Start!!"
Both Zenos raised their small fists enthusiastically.
"Bong!"
The Grand Priest struck a massive gong, and in that instant, all fighters on the arena floor grew tense.
Every participant glanced around sharply. Allies stood shoulder-to-shoulder, but the moment the gong resounded, all others became enemies.
"Yaaaah!!" Several battle-hungry warriors charged recklessly, striking the first blows.
The arena erupted instantly energy beams lit up like fireworks, shockwaves roaring.
"Hahaha! Finally!" Son Goku laughed joyfully and dashed into the fray, ignoring Gohan's command structure.
"Dad, wait!" Gohan reached out, but it was too late. Vegeta, No.17, and even Frieza immediately split up as well, each seeking strong prey.
As team captain, Gohan held his head in frustration. "They're completely ignoring our strategy!"
Luya chuckled, stepping forward. "Gohan, you know their natures. They'll never stand still and just watch."
"You too, Luya…?" Gohan muttered bitterly.
Luya cracked his neck with a grin. "Of course. This is a rare chance to test myself against elites from all across the multiverse. I won't waste it. See you later!"
With a wave, he rushed into the melee.
Piccolo patted Gohan's shoulder. "Let them go. That's who they are. We'll focus on supporting however we can."
Gohan sighed deeply, but nodded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions shook the arena as waves of ki collided, painting the sky in dazzling colors.
On their thrones, the two Zenos clapped their hands gleefully.
Left Zeno chirped: "It's like a fireworks show!"
Right Zeno replied: "Yes, yes! So fun! The Tournament of Power is amazing!"
The Grand Priest, relieved to see their delight, manifested a shining tablet in his hand. Bowing respectfully, he presented it:
"Masters Zeno, this device will allow you to track every participant. Simply touch the portrait of an eliminated fighter, and they will be marked out."
The two Zenos gasped in excitement, grabbing it eagerly. "Waaah! This is fun! We can see everything clearly now!"
Meanwhile, the Gods of Destruction and their attendants in the stands studied the chaos below. Beads of tension formed on their brows. They knew well: if their fighters failed, their entire universe would be erased only their Angels would remain.
"Tch. Pathetic weaklings," Beerus muttered, arms crossed. His face was stern despite the insult.
Shin, the Supreme Kai of Universe 7, swallowed hard. "If Goku and the others lose, it's all over. The Seventh Universe will vanish completely."
The Old Kai chuckled in contrast. "Calm yourself. As deities, we must show composure. Trust them they've trained for this. Goku and Vegeta have both surpassed mortal limits."
Shin nodded, still uneasy.
"Hahaha! Beerus, your Universe 7 will be the first to go down!" Champa, Beerus' twin, taunted loudly, puffing his chest with smug confidence.
Beerus glanced sideways, unimpressed. "Hmph. You're our defeated little brother. Don't delude yourself."
"This time is different!" Champa barked. "My Universe 6 is ready. When you're erased, I might even miss you!"
Beerus rolled his eyes. "Idiot."
Suddenly boom! a thunderous blast shook the arena. A figure screamed as they were launched skyward and landed outside the ring.
Gasps rang out. The gods turned in disbelief.
"No way!" Universe 9's Supreme Kai shouted. "Even Hisop's Absolute Zero couldn't hold up?!"
The burly Hisop hung his head in shame. "Forgive me…"
The Grand Priest raised his hand. "Universe 9's Hisop eliminated!"
"Already?!" Both Zenos squealed in delight. Quickly, they tapped Hisop's portrait on their pad, watching it dim.
Universe 9's God of Destruction was livid. "Which fool dared ?!"
Their answer came swiftly. Standing calmly at the arena's edge, a cold-eyed boy with short hair stared back at them.
"It's… Universe 7!!" the Kai of Universe 9 roared, veins bulging.
"Well done, Luya!" Beerus barked, unable to hide his pride. Luya had outmaneuvered Hisop with Instant Transmission and blasted him off the stage before he could react.
"Damn it!! Warriors of Universe 9, listen! Focus all your attacks on Universe 7!" the Kai of Universe 9 screamed furiously.
At once, the remaining fighters of Universe 9 swarmed toward Goku and his allies, their eyes gleaming with hostility.
"We're surrounded!" Goku said with excitement more than fear, recognizing the three wolf brothers.
"Hmph. Goku! You won't beat us so easily this time. The final victory belongs to Universe 9!" Basil snarled, baring his fangs.
"Heh. Good! I was hoping for a rematch!" Goku smirked, sliding into a fighting stance.
The next clash was inevitable Universe 7 and Universe 9 were about to collide head-on.
