"That guy's got some nerve, daring to charge into the center of the battlefield alone. How many seconds do you think he'll last before he gets knocked off the arena?"
As Zeru moved on his own, a mocking voice echoed from one of the universe spectator stands.
Hearing this, Beerus from Universe 7 glanced over and immediately recognized the speaker—it was the mouse-like God of Destruction from Universe 4, Quitela.
Beerus, modeled after a cat, naturally didn't get along with Quitela, whose form resembled a mouse. It was only natural for the latter to mock him.
"Watch your mouth, you filthy rat. If your Universe 4 fighters run into him, yours will be the first universe eliminated."
Beerus spoke calmly.
Quitela sneered and looked toward the arena. But the moment his gaze landed on the battlefield, he froze.
Zeru had already moved.
His figure flickered and instantly appeared before an unknown powerhouse. With a single punch, he blasted the opponent straight off the stage.
Immediately after, the surrounding fighters snapped back to their senses. They turned their heads just in time to see a blue energy sphere rushing toward them.
The sheer power of that attack made their faces change drastically. Wasn't this level of energy something only gods could wield?!
Whoosh!
A sharp sound cut through the air as Zeru appeared again within their line of sight.
Bang!
Another overwhelming punch.
With his strength, how could these insignificant fighters possibly withstand him? One strike was enough to eliminate another contestant from a different universe.
Bang!
Boom!
Another punch followed, and yet another fighter was sent flying off the arena.
"My god! Run! That guy is a monster! Don't provoke him! Everyone scatter!"
Zeru's actions instantly made everyone in that area understand one thing—this was not someone they could afford to challenge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Too late.
Once Zeru had decided to act, he had no intention of stopping midway.
With his next move, five or six contestants from different universes were blasted off the arena in an instant, without even the slightest chance to resist.
The sudden large-scale elimination caused by Zeru immediately drew the attention of both the battlefield and the spectator stands. Countless eyes turned toward him, filled with shock and disbelief.
"This fighter from Universe 7… he's unbelievably powerful!"
At this moment, Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, and Angels across multiple universes narrowed their eyes, silently acknowledging Zeru's strength.
"Damn it! Universe 7… how could such a monster exist there?!"
On Universe 4's side, Quitela's expression darkened. Among those eliminated just now were two of his strongest fighters.
"Finally, a worthy opponent has appeared. Jiren, I think we should eliminate that guy from Universe 7 first. What do you think?"
"I agree. That guy's strength is unpredictable, and the other fighters from Universe 7 are also unclear. If they fully unite, they'll become a serious threat to our survival."
In Universe 11's camp, Toppo and the Pride Troopers began discussing.
Hearing them, Jiren's expression grew solemn. He glanced at Zeru, took a deep breath, and spoke in a low voice, "Are you certain you can defeat him with absolute certainty? If yes, then I agree we should eliminate him early. But if not… then don't even consider it. His aura… even I cannot match it."
As soon as those words were spoken, the entire Pride Troopers team was stunned.
They had never seen Jiren show such caution—nor had they ever heard him doubt whether he could defeat someone even with teamwork.
"So… that guy from Universe 7 is that strong? Then… should we ignore him and focus on eliminating the others from Universe 7 first?"
Dyspo suggested cautiously.
Toppo thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No. If we target his teammates, we might attract his attention. It's better to deal with weaker universes first. As Jiren said, we'll leave him for now."
Boom!
"Goku!"
Amidst the explosions, a sudden shout rang out.
Zeru frowned slightly and turned his head.
He saw Goku being grabbed by the throat by a tall, green-skinned man.
"Hehehe! Beerus, my Nink is incredibly strong! I see your Universe 7 hasn't lost anyone yet… but now, looks like one of you is about to go down!"
Quitela laughed maliciously from the stands.
"Hmph."
Beerus glanced at him coldly, then shouted toward the arena, "Goku! Stop playing around! Show them how strong our Universe 7 warriors really are!"
Quitela sneered and shouted as well, "Throw that Universe 7 brat off the stage!"
"Hah! Big talk!"
"RAAAH!"
Goku roared, throwing several punches at Nink who was choking him.
But to his surprise, the more he struggled, the more excited Nink became. His face even flushed red as he said, "I love strong opponents like you! Ohhh!"
As he spoke, Nink dragged Goku step by step toward the edge of the arena.
"W-What are you doing?! You'll fall off too!"
Goku struggled, but it was useless. Nink's strength was overwhelming, holding him firmly in place even in his base form.
"It doesn't matter! As long as I take you down with me, being eliminated is worth it!"
Nink laughed wildly.
Boom!
His aura surged as he pushed Goku closer to the edge.
"This is bad!"
Goku's expression changed. In that instant, he transformed into Super Saiyan.
A powerful burst of energy exploded outward, instantly blasting Nink away.
"What?!"
On the spectator stand, Quitela's expression changed drastically.
What… was that?!
That guy… had been holding back all this time?!
