Chapter 126 - Son Goku vs. Jiren, and Zeru’s Proposal!

"Lord Beerus, Goku has entered the Omen stage of Ultra Instinct. The only question now is whether he can step into the true Ultra Instinct state!"

Whis spoke with clear admiration in his eyes.

To be honest, the Ultra Instinct Omen state was neither especially rare nor common.

At the level of Angels and Gods of Destruction, nearly all of them had reached this state before.

But the true challenge was the perfected form of Ultra Instinct.

That was the truly extraordinary realm.

"Kakarot, that bastard…"

At that moment, Vegeta was still fighting Toppo while keeping one eye on the battle between Goku and Jiren.

Feeling Goku's surging aura, Vegeta clenched his teeth in frustration.

Once again, Kakarot had taken the lead and unlocked a new transformation before him.

"Perhaps only through battle can one continue evolving…"

Vegeta's eyes sharpened.

He could no longer hold back.

Toppo had not truly pushed him to his limits. In fact, Toppo himself hadn't gone all out either.

Boom!

In an instant, Vegeta abandoned Toppo and charged straight into the battlefield where Goku and Jiren were fighting.

"Kakarot! Leave this guy to me!"

Vegeta roared as he launched a rapid assault on Jiren.

"Da da da da da!"

His fists moved so fast that ordinary people would only see blurs.

Jiren sneered.

This Saiyan truly didn't know his place.

Taking a single step to the side, Jiren ignored Goku and threw one punch.

Boom!

Bang!

The strike carried unstoppable force and landed squarely on Vegeta's chest.

Vegeta was sent flying.

Pfft!

Midair, his Super Saiyan Blue form dissipated, and he reverted to base form, his face pale.

Vegeta's brief intervention gave Goku the opening he needed.

"Haaaa!"

Goku's aura surged once more as he unleashed a massive Kamehameha.

In the Ultra Instinct Omen state, even an ordinary Kamehameha felt powerful enough to destroy an entire world.

"Terrifying!"

"My God! Dragon Ball energy attacks are absurd!"

"If that attack hit my world, would it destroy the whole planet?"

The viewers in the interdimensional group chat were once again on their feet, their scalps tingling.

Zeru glanced at the comments and chuckled.

These people really had no idea what true power looked like.

If Goku's current attack were fired into most worlds, it wouldn't just destroy a planet.

Destroying ten star systems would be effortless.

Whoosh!

Facing the Kamehameha, Jiren chose not to tank it head-on.

He twisted aside, dodged the blast, and rushed toward Goku.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted behind him.

The entire Tournament of Power stage—and even the whole Void Realm—shuddered.

The Kamehameha's destructive force was monstrous.

Bang!

Jiren closed in and drove a fist into Goku, sending him flying.

But Goku had not suffered serious damage.

He steadied himself and instantly flashed back to Jiren's side.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a single second, Goku unleashed more than a hundred punches.

Jiren attempted to counterattack.

It was useless.

Though not the perfected version, Ultra Instinct Omen allowed Goku to evade all of Jiren's attacks automatically.

Bang!

Jiren was blasted backward.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Toppo's face changed.

He rushed forward and caught Jiren before he crashed, then stared grimly at Goku.

"You need to rest and recover some stamina."

Jiren stood up and shook his head.

"It's not a matter of stamina."

He fixed his gaze on Goku.

"This state is terrifying. It feels as if he can see through every one of my attacks."

Then he stepped forward, excitement blazing in his eyes.

"You entering this profound realm is truly unexpected."

"But…"

Jiren clenched his fists.

"…I am not as weak as you imagine."

"HAAAA!"

Boom!

Jiren roared.

His aura exploded outward, towering over the entire arena.

"What a monster…"

Vegeta slowly regained consciousness.

The moment he sensed Jiren's expanded power, his face changed dramatically.

"Kakarot… can you really beat him?"

Vegeta frowned deeply.

Looking toward Goku, he saw his body trembling.

The strain of prolonged high-intensity combat was beginning to overwhelm him.

"Jiren, come on!"

Goku clenched his fists and charged.

Bang!

"Dada da da!"

"Haaah!"

The two exchanged pure hand-to-hand combat, neither resorting to energy blasts.

They fought fiercely for nearly two minutes.

Then Goku's face suddenly changed.

His body lost control, and he fell from the sky.

"Damn it! Son Goku's body has reached its limit!"

In Universe 7's stands, Beerus frowned.

"Zeru, it's your turn to act. Even if you're trying to temper Goku, you need to buy him some time."

Beerus could tell exactly what Zeru was doing.

He was deliberately holding back to let Goku grow.

"Relax. That won't be necessary."

Zeru turned toward Beerus and smiled.

The moment he made a move, the Tournament of Power would effectively be over.

And if that happened, Goku would lose his opportunity.

To be honest…

Zeru wanted to see Vegito.

"Hm?"

A sudden idea flashed through his mind.

"Beerus!"

Zeru's eyes lit up as he shouted.

"Have the Supreme Kai throw down the Potara earrings!"

"What did you say?!"

Beerus froze, then turned to Whis.

"Using Potara fusion… that wouldn't violate the rules, would it?"

Whis smiled lightly.

"The Grand Priest never prohibited it."

"Fusion?! Good, good!"

"I agree! I agree! Hurry up and let us see how strong a fused warrior can be!"

The two Zenos clapped excitedly, their voices full of anticipation.
