Seeing Gohan charge forward, Krillin and the others hesitated. In their view, staying still and observing was the best strategy. But since Gohan had already entered the fray, they had no choice but to follow.
However, just a few seconds after rushing in, Gohan retreated. At this moment, the members of Universe 7 gathered into a small circle.
"What's going on?! Why is it that these guys are acting like they don't even see us? They have zero interest in attacking us at all!"
Gohan looked confused.
Goku scanned the surroundings and realized the same thing, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Could it be… they all know there's an incredibly powerful presence in our team, so none of them dare to make the first move against us?"
Piccolo couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Whatever! I'm going in first!"
Bang! Bang!
Goku knocked his fists together twice, then rushed straight into the battlefield, his face filled with excitement.
"Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Frieza can all act independently without issues. As for the rest of you, I suggest sticking together and fighting as a team."
Zeru glanced at Frieza, who was hiding in a corner. That guy clearly didn't want to exert himself. For Zeru, it didn't matter. As long as he was here, Universe 7 could not lose this Tournament of Power.
"Got it!"
Everyone nodded. No one questioned Zeru's own plans. With someone this powerful overseeing everything, they didn't need to worry about losing due to lack of strength.
"These guys aren't worth paying attention to. Let them fight it out first. I'll step in when it's actually necessary."
Zeru yawned. At this stage, the fighters were simply too weak. Even Ultra Instinct Goku or full-power Jiren wouldn't last more than a second against him.
In short, unless it was the final battle, he had no intention of making a move.
"Haah!"
"I'm going in first!"
Goku shouted, transforming into Super Saiyan as he plunged into the crowd.
Meanwhile, Zeru pulled out a beach chair from his system storage and lay down comfortably.
He was livestreaming.
At this moment, everyone in the Multiverse Chat Group was watching the Tournament of Power from a god-like perspective.
"Didn't the group owner say the Dragon Ball world is one of the most high-tier, broken power-level worlds? Then why… why don't I feel that overwhelming, scalp-tingling intensity at all?"
—Call Me Daddy
"@Call Me Daddy, please. We're watching through a livestream perspective, not experiencing it in 3D ourselves. Of course it won't feel immersive."
—Multiverse Chat Group Owner
Zeru glanced at the chat while lurking. By now, he was almost certain—the group owner was definitely from Earth.
Not necessarily the peaceful Earth he once knew, though.
He had seen some of the memory files uploaded by the owner—there were martial artists in that world. So Zeru guessed it was likely some parallel high-martial world.
In other words, everything that existed on his original Earth probably existed there too—but in a more powerful form.
"You guys want an immersive viewing experience?"
Seeing many people tagging him for a better experience, Zeru asked casually.
"1!"
"+1!"
"Let this old man witness the strongest battle world in the multiverse!"
The chat instantly flooded with responses, like a barrage of bullet comments in a livestream.
Zeru smiled slightly and directly activated the "immersive mode" of the group livestream.
In an instant, all members of the Multiverse Chat Group felt their surroundings spin.
The next moment—
They were there.
Every detail of the World of Void unfolded before their eyes.
"I… I feel like I've personally entered Big Boss Zeru's world!"
One member spoke up. Zeru glanced at the name—"Ababa." He had no idea who that was, so he ignored it.
Not everyone in this group was necessarily a well-known character from anime, movies, or novels.
Some were just unknown background figures.
But Zeru understood this clearly—once they joined this group, their lives would change. They would no longer remain insignificant.
To put it bluntly, this chat group itself was their golden opportunity.
If they were lucky enough to latch onto a powerful figure, their future would be limitless—even becoming the protagonist of their own world.
Meanwhile, in Zeru's vision, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan had already charged into the battlefield, clashing with powerful fighters from other universes.
Bang!
After watching briefly, Zeru lost interest and withdrew his gaze.
He casually took out two capsules from his storage—one containing food, the other drinks.
To him, participating in the Tournament of Power wasn't a life-or-death struggle.
It was more like spectating.
Seeing this, the entire chat group fell silent for a moment.
This Zeru… was he really here to fight?
"Alright… I think I finally get it. This guy really is a transmigrator. Look closely—none of the shockwaves or attacks around him can even touch his area!"
As the battle intensified, the group owner suddenly noticed something crucial.
No matter how chaotic the battlefield became, Zeru's location remained a peaceful vacuum zone.
Untouched.
"Now… I actually believe what he said before—that he beat up Beerus."
The group owner couldn't help but sigh.
At that moment, Zeru finished his ice cream, stood up from his beach chair, and began walking toward the battlefield.
If he hadn't been mistaken earlier, someone from another universe had deliberately fired an attack toward his direction.
Now that he had finished his snack…
It was time for a little payback.
Step.
Boom!
As Zeru moved forward, the livestream shifted to his first-person perspective.
"My… my god!"
"That explosion… it feels terrifyingly real! It's like it's coming straight at me!"
"Energy blast! It's coming! Boss Zeru, dodge!"
"Holy crap! Holy crap! That destructive force… the group owner was right. Dragon Ball really is one of the highest-tier power worlds!"
They were terrified.
Completely terrified.
Several of the weaker, unknown group members were shaking uncontrollably under the immersive experience.
Some even lost control and wet themselves.
Others passed out on the spot.
