"Beerus, it seems Son Goku is no match for Hit!"
In Universe 6's spectator stands, Champa wore a smug grin as he shot a mocking glance at Beerus.
In his eyes, as long as Zeru didn't step in, Hit alone would be enough to plow through the rest of Universe 7's team. There was no suspense whatsoever.
"Heh. What's the rush?"
Beerus remained perfectly relaxed, completely unaffected by Champa's taunts.
So what if Goku and the others all lost to Hit?
Universe 7's true trump card had never been Goku.
It was Zeru.
As far as Beerus was concerned, if Zeru wanted to win the Tournament of Power, it would be as easy as drinking water.
"Heh."
Seeing Beerus remain calm, Champa snorted.
Deep down, he knew the truth as well. If Zeru decided to clear the arena, it would be over in minutes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another deafening series of explosions erupted from the arena.
From afar, Zeru watched as Goku, in his Super Saiyan Blue form, continued battling Hit.
On the surface, it still looked like a one-sided fight.
But Zeru's keen eyes saw through the truth.
Hit's advantage came entirely from his Time-Skip.
Once Goku figured out how to counter it, Hit would lose most of his offensive edge in close combat.
Still…
Time-Skip wasn't easy to破解.
If Goku didn't devote himself to analyzing it, he wouldn't break through any time soon.
The battle raged on.
As time passed, the situation gradually changed.
Goku began to grasp the rhythm of Time-Skip, and his attacks became sharper and more effective.
"Hey, mister! How exactly do you transform into Super Saiyan Blue?"
Suddenly, Caulifla appeared beside Zeru and asked eagerly.
"Super Saiyan Blue?"
Zeru raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Didn't Goku already tell you? Your current strength isn't enough to reach that level."
He held up a finger.
"You've only just mastered Super Saiyan 2."
Then another finger.
"Above Super Saiyan 2… is Super Saiyan 3."
"Super Saiyan 3?!"
Caulifla's eyes widened.
"So Super Saiyan Blue is even stronger than Super Saiyan 3?!"
"Of course."
Zeru nodded.
Boom!
At that moment, a violent aura exploded nearby.
"Zeru!"
"You stole my sister from me!"
"I'll kill you!"
A low, furious roar echoed across the arena.
Zeru turned.
The timid Kale had transformed into the Legendary Super Saiyan, consumed by jealousy.
"RAAAAH!"
With a furious scream, Kale charged at Zeru.
Bang!
Kale threw a punch.
Zeru casually answered with one of his own.
The clash shook the surrounding space.
Zeru didn't move an inch.
Kale was sent flying.
"Kale!"
Caulifla's expression changed in alarm.
"Relax. She won't be hurt."
Zeru spoke calmly.
Even so, he had to admit Kale's enraged state was monstrously strong.
For the first time in a long while, his hand actually felt a slight numbness from the impact.
Thinking about it, even in the original story, Goku in Super Saiyan Blue avoided taking Kale's raw power head-on.
That alone proved how terrifying this form was.
"RAAAAH!"
Kale roared again.
Her aura surged even higher.
"So strong!"
High above the arena, the two Zenos clapped excitedly.
"This form…"
In Universe 7's stands, Beerus raised an eyebrow.
"What is this? Super Saiyan Green?"
"This is the Legendary Super Saiyan form."
Su Liuli answered from her seat.
"I have this bloodline too. I transformed once, but the green hair looked ugly, so I abandoned the form."
"The Legendary Super Saiyan?"
Krillin and the others exchanged bewildered looks.
They had never heard of such a transformation.
"Zeru!"
"Zeru!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Everyone looked back toward the arena.
Kale was marching toward Zeru step by step, her eyes blazing with rage.
Zeru stood there with his arms crossed, watching her calmly.
In the original story, Kale had targeted Goku.
This time, because Zeru had spent some time teaching Caulifla, he had become the target of her jealousy instead.
"Heh. Looks like I took a bullet for Goku."
Zeru shook his head with a smile and stepped forward.
This was his first time seeing the Legendary Super Saiyan in person.
In neither timeline had he ever encountered Broly, which had always been a small regret.
Seeing the female version now was enough to make up for it.
"Still… compared to Broly, Kale seems much weaker."
In an instant, Zeru was right in front of her.
He extended a single finger and tapped her forehead.
Kale was blasted backward without any resistance.
Boom!
But after flying only a dozen meters, she stopped herself.
Her aura surged again.
This time, several times stronger than before.
"The Legendary Super Saiyan is truly a terrifying transformation."
Vegeta, who had just arrived nearby, frowned deeply.
To be honest, he wasn't confident he could emerge unscathed against a monster like this.
"But unfortunately for her…"
Vegeta folded his arms.
"She's not fighting me. And she's not fighting Kakarot."
"She's fighting Zeru."
After watching for a moment, he lost interest.
He knew perfectly well that the Legendary Super Saiyan posed no threat whatsoever to Zeru.
Whoosh!
Kale charged once more.
"All right. There's no need to keep playing with you."
Zeru smiled and shook his head.
He flicked his wrist and unleashed a small energy blast.
Boom!
"Kale!"
Caulifla cried out again.
"Relax."
Zeru waved his hand.
"That attack won't seriously hurt her. She was too noisy. I just put her to sleep."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the area where Goku and Hit had been fighting.
The two had stopped.
Apparently, Hit had sensed mounting pressure and chosen to temporarily disengage.
"Justice Flash!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A thunderous shout rang out.
From the rubble, Toppo burst forward and fired a powerful attack at Hit.
"Jiren, Universe 7's fighters can wait. Let's eliminate Universe 6 first!"
Toppo's booming voice echoed through the arena.
A moment later, another round of deafening explosions shook the World of Void.
