The eight eliminated warriors of Universe 11 watched Jippo on the stage with
bated breath. Their eyes didn't blink for a second as they silently prayed for
him.
Jippo, you have to defeat them...
Unlike the tension gripping Universe 11, the atmosphere at the Universe 7
bleachers was much more relaxed. Turles, the protagonist himself, wore a playful
smirk. This "dual control" sensation was actually quite interesting; it felt as
if he had grown an extra brain.
With a single consciousness controlling two bodies simultaneously, experiencing
two different sets of power, he realized the "Strongest Clone System" really was
something else. No wonder his main system had gone through the trouble of...
well, "retrieving" it.
Supreme Kai Shin watched Jippo and Vegito (Turles) trading blows with intense
anxiety. "Jippo has tapped into the power of a God of Destruction," he muttered.
"Will Vegito be alright?"
"Calm down," Old Kai said, looking perfectly composed.
"Er, yes, Ancestor," Shin nodded quickly. "But isn't Vegito's strongest state
Super Saiyan Rosé? The fight looks like a stalemate right now, and Jippo's Ki is
still rising... I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what? Don't go praising the enemy and undermining our own guys! Jippo
got stronger, sure, but he's nothing special. The guy on the stage hasn't even
started getting serious yet."
Whis stood nearby, smiling without a word. He remembered the shock he felt when
he first saw Vegito (Turles) use Ultra Instinct during a sparring session with
Lord Beerus.
Compared to Lord Beerus, this Jippo was still a long way off—both in terms of
raw power and his mastery of Ultra Ego.
On the arena, the collision continued. Jippo was shrouded in a dark purple aura,
forming a sharp contrast against the brilliant rose-colored flames surrounding
Vegito.
The battle had Goku's blood pumping so hard he looked like he wanted to jump in
himself.
Unfortunately, his strength wasn't enough. Jumping in now would just result in
an instant knockout. He suppressed his excitement, his gaze flickering toward
Vegeta every few seconds.
Vegeta noticed immediately and shot him a look of pure annoyance. "Kakarot,
don't even think about it! Don't think I don't know what's going through that
head of yours!"
"Don't be like that, Vegeta. Don't tell me you don't want to trade blows with
Jippo or Vegito?"
"Hmph. There's a time and place for everything, but I'm not playing along with
your nonsense right now!"
Though a spark of interest flickered in Vegeta's eyes, he righteously rejected
Goku's suggestion.
Goku sighed. "What a shame." He understood the gravity of the situation. He
didn't actually intend to fight Vegito now; he just wanted a crack at Jippo. Too
bad Vegeta wasn't biting.
Bolstered by the power of Destruction, Jippo fought like a demon possessed. He
grew more courageous as the fight went on, every punch dealing "true damage" as
his attacks became increasingly sharp.
As the purple-black Ki clashed with the Rosé aura, the stage took another heavy
hit, with large chunks of the arena being blasted away.
BOOM!!
Their fists collided once more, forcing both warriors to recoil.
Vegito (Turles) suddenly spoke. "I've figured out your limits. Out of respect,
I'll use my full power to finish this!"
Jippo's expression soured. We've been fighting this long and you're telling me
you weren't using your full strength? Are you mocking me?!
Vegito closed his eyes and reverted to his base form. When he snapped them open
again, a silver light flashed within them. An instant later, an incredibly
scorching yet ethereal Godly Ki erupted. A pillar of silver-white aura surged
violently into the heavens.
Every God of Destruction and Supreme Kai in the spectator bleachers stood up in
unison.
"You... you've got to be kidding me..."
The universes that hadn't participated in the tournament felt a sudden wave of
relief. If a monster like this was on the stage, what hope would any other
universe have had?
Belmod, the clown God of Destruction of Universe 11, looked as if all the
strength had been drained from his body. "How envious... Universe 7, they
actually..."
"This time, we've lost for sure..."
Marcarita didn't bother comforting Belmod this time. As an Angel, she knew
exactly what she was looking at. Her eyes shimmered with a different kind of
curiosity as she stared at Vegito.
"Ho ho ho, this is getting very interesting..."
Beerus grinned and looked toward Turles. "You have a wicked sense of humor...
Mastered Ultra Instinct? You're really giving him a lot of credit."
Turles chuckled. "Ultra Instinct against Ultra Ego makes for a good show,
doesn't it?"
Hearing this, Vados narrowed her eyes, carefully contemplating the implications
of Beerus's words.
Indeed, Vegito (Turles) was utilizing Ultra Instinct—and it was the perfected
version. Having "borrowed" the technique from an Angel's attributes, he had
reached the pinnacle. His only regret was that Zeno and the Grand Minister
hadn't dropped any attributes yet...
As the heat of Ultra Instinct washed over the arena, Jippo felt a wave of
pressure. "Stop bluffing!"
Jippo raised his hand and fired a sphere of Destruction Energy.
What Vegito did next left him speechless.
Vegito reached out and caught the sphere with one hand. The ball of Destruction
sat quietly in his palm. With a casual flick of his fingers, the energy sphere
vanished into thin air.
In the blink of an eye, Vegito appeared behind Jippo.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!—
It was as if Jippo was being pummeled by a thousand invisible fists.
"Pfft!"
Jippo coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Jippo leaped into the air, his hands blurring as he unleashed a barrage of
purple energy spheres infused with Destruction. The classic "Prince's Technique"
made its appearance once again.
BOOM!
The shockwave from Vegito's aura exploded outward, making the entire World of
Void tremble once more. He looked up at the sky full of energy blasts and moved
his hands in a blur, swatting every single sphere away with ease.
The deflected blasts slammed into the energy shield set up by the Grand
Minister, triggering violent explosions. A thick shroud of smoke once again
enveloped the arena.
The Grand Minister watched the battle with genuine intrigue. "Fascinating. To
think someone could train Ultra Instinct to such a level. This is quite
unexpected..."
Of course, if he knew that this was actually Turles's doing, his expression
would likely be even more "fascinating."
