Vegito (Turles) watched the surrounding free-for-all with great interest. His attitude suggested he wasn't at a tournament where the survival of his universe was at stake, but rather out on a casual picnic.
"Oh? Whis, is your contestant actually in the mood to just watch the show?" Vados, the Angel of Universe 6, asked as she looked at Vegito (Turles). "And wait... are those Potara Earrings? Is he a Supreme Kai?"
"Ho ho ho. His name is Vegito. He is the strongest contestant in our universe," Whis replied with a smile. "As for his strength... he has already surpassed the average God of Destruction."
"What?!" The Angels and deities nearby gasped in shock.
"Hmph! Keep dreaming!" Champa snapped. "If he's that strong, why didn't he show up during our universe's duel? And wait... isn't that Turles' wife?!"
Champa scanned the arena and spotted Bulma. In an instant, his world felt like it was collapsing.
"Ho ho ho. I didn't expect Universe 7 to have someone who surpassed a God of Destruction," Belmod, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, said mockingly. "But I'm certain he won't be a match for our Jiren."
Beerus shot Belmod a look of pure contempt. Jiren? Jiren is nothing. You think he can beat Turles' clone? Is this some kind of joke? Even before his breakthrough, Beerus hadn't been certain he could defeat that clone. What hope did Universe 11's Jiren have?
"You..." Belmod growled, sensing Beerus's disdain. He then noticed Champa looking like his world had ended and frowned. "Hey, Champa, what's with you?"
Champa pointed a trembling finger at Bulma. "That woman is the wife of the God of Destruction of Time! She is a legitimate God of Destruction-level powerhouse. She's on the stage! How can I be happy?!"
He then glared at Beerus, gritting his teeth. "Beerus, you're despicable! To actually have the wife of the God of Destruction of Time compete..."
"Hmph. She's originally from my Universe 7. Why shouldn't she compete?"
"What? A powerhouse comparable to a God of Destruction?"
The conversation among the deities on the stands was overheard by several contestants below who possessed keen hearing. They were shaken; in their eyes, the level of a God of Destruction was an unreachable peak.
"Is it that guy?"
"He doesn't look like anything special."
"Hmph. 'A warrior who surpassed the average God of Destruction'? Let's go take him down!"
Several contestants immediately began plotting, creeping toward Vegito (Turles)'s position.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
The arena was a mess of chaotic battles involving dozens of people. Almost no one noticed the movements around Vegito (Turles).
Suddenly, Piccolo grinned. "Heh. More fools coming to their deaths."
"Then let's take care of them, Uncle Piccolo," Son Gohan said with a confident smile. He spoke as if the fighters coming at them weren't the elite warriors of their respective universes, but merely pebbles on the side of the road.
Their figures vanished instantly.
Lazuli (Android 18) smiled. "I'll go play, too."
In the next moment, the contestants attempting a sneak attack found themselves blocked by Piccolo, Gohan, and Lazuli.
"What?! How did you find us? We were so careful!"
Piccolo looked at them with disdain. Do I look like the type to answer your questions? He threw a backhand punch.
The fodder contestant's expression changed as he barely blocked the strike. He gritted his teeth. "So strong!"
The next second, Piccolo's fist buried itself in the man's stomach. The immense force knocked him unconscious instantly.
"Tsk. Small fry trying to sneak up on us?" Piccolo grabbed the man and tossed him over the edge.
At the same time, two other "mob characters" were knocked out of the arena by Gohan and Lazuli.
On the other side, Vegito (Turles) suddenly tilted his head. He reached out his hand and instantly deployed an energy barrier, trapping a tiny, near-invisible contestant inside.
"Tsk. Sneak-attacking me? You're ten thousand years too early for that." With a casual kick, he sent the tiny fighter flying off the stage.
Seeing this, Quitela, the God of Destruction of Universe 4, felt his heart drop. That was his ace in the hole... and he was eliminated before he could do anything?!
He glared at Vegito (Turles), gnashing his teeth. "That damn brat! I'll remember you!"
Rats were notoriously good at holding grudges.
"Hehehe... Universe 7!"
Frost of Universe 6 muttered coldly. He could never forget the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Universe 7. He swore he would eliminate every single one of them!
His gaze locked onto Lazuli. "Ho ho ho. This one looks quite weak..."
He had carefully observed the Universe 7 team from the shadows. Piccolo was off-limits—he couldn't win. The Saiyans were the same; if he hadn't used underhanded tricks last time, he wouldn't have been a match for Son Goku.
And Bulma? She was an existence that could crush Hit. Was he suicidal enough to provoke her?
Buu's abilities were too bizarre and couldn't be dealt with quickly. As for the man standing with his arms crossed? Just looking at that invincible face told Frost he was a dangerous character.
The only targets left were the mechanical siblings. After a quick observation, he decided Lazuli looked like the weaker link.
"Ho ho ho. Then I choose you!" Frost chuckled sinisterly.
Zip!
Using high-speed movement, he appeared beside Lazuli and swung a heavy kick toward her.
"What?!" Lazuli's pupils shrank. Frost's sneak attack caught her off guard, but she moved to react.
However, before she could do anything, a reliable back appeared in front of her.
Bang!
"N-Nani?!" Frost stared wide-eyed at the man who had suddenly appeared. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. How?! How could he move that fast?!
Lazuli looked at the back of Vegito (Turles) and playfully patted her ample chest, letting out a sigh of relief. "That was close! This guy almost got me."
Vegito (Turles) glanced back at the "drama queen" and said helplessly, "This is a massive battle royale. You should be more careful."
Lazuli playfully stuck her tongue out at him. "Well, I knew you'd be there to protect me."
Vegito (Turles) gave her a fond look before turning a cold gaze toward Frost. "Frost of Universe 6, was it? How do you want to die?"
