"Zeru, your strength is ridiculously overwhelming!"
On the arena, Vegito stared at Zeru in shock.
Moments earlier, the two had exchanged a single punch.
In that instant, Vegito felt his entire hand go numb, nearly losing all sensation.
That alone was enough to show just how terrifying Zeru's raw power truly was.
"You're not bad yourself."
Zeru smiled faintly.
He still had no intention of transforming into his Ultimate Saiyan form.
There was simply no need.
In his current state, he was already capable of crushing everything before him.
And one thing must not be forgotten:
As Beerus had guessed, Zeru had mastered Ultra Instinct.
With that power supporting him, he possessed an almost irrational confidence.
I alone am invincible.
Boom!
As that thought crossed his mind, Vegito attacked again.
This time, the Super Saiyan Blue fusion warrior held nothing back.
Every strike was unleashed with full power.
Yet in Zeru's eyes, all of it seemed trivial.
He casually threw a punch.
Just as he had said before—
one force breaks ten thousand techniques.
With a single blow, all of Vegito's attacks were obliterated.
Vegito was stunned.
The gap in strength between them was simply too vast.
"Uh…"
Watching through the group livestream, the chat group owner fell silent.
"Is this really the Vegito I know? The strongest fusion warrior in Dragon Ball?"
In his understanding, aside from time limits, Super Saiyan Blue Vegito had no meaningful weaknesses in one-on-one combat.
And yet…
Every attack he launched was effortlessly erased by Zeru.
Just how monstrously powerful was this man?
"All right."
Zeru stepped forward with a smile.
"Let's end this."
In a single step, he crossed the distance and appeared before Vegito.
Then he threw a simple punch.
Boom!
Crack!
The blow carried the force of thunder itself.
Lightning crackled around his fist, making the attack both awe-inspiring and utterly terrifying.
"Danger!"
Vegito's eyes narrowed.
He retreated at once.
But he was too slow.
Zeru's fist struck him squarely.
Vegito was blasted away.
Though he did not cough up blood, he spat out a mouthful of bitter fluid.
Mixed within it were fragments of flesh.
Clearly, Zeru's punch had damaged his internal organs.
Boom!
Vegito crashed into a pile of rubble.
Dust filled the arena.
For several moments, there was no movement.
"It's time to end this rather dull Tournament of Power."
With Vegito seemingly defeated, Zeru's eyes flickered.
He had already made up his mind.
Nearby, Jiren and Toppo emerged from hiding, staring blankly at Zeru.
"Jiren…"
Toppo swallowed hard.
"With this guy in the tournament… wasn't everyone else just being bullied?"
He forced a bitter smile.
He had never imagined a mortal could become this terrifying.
Of course, he and Jiren were technically mortals too.
But compared to Zeru…
They might as well have belonged to a different species.
Jiren stood in silence.
Then he shook his head slowly.
"I… don't know anymore."
Before, he had planned to defeat every other opponent before challenging Zeru.
Now he understood how naive that thought had been.
Zeru was simply too powerful.
Powerful enough that Jiren could not see even the slightest chance of victory.
Boom!
Suddenly, a shocking aura erupted from the rubble where Vegito had fallen.
"What?!"
Zeru froze and turned toward the source.
Vegito had not defused.
But more importantly…
He had entered Ultra Instinct.
"What?!"
The moment Ultra Instinct Vegito appeared, every God of Destruction in the spectator stands leapt to their feet.
"That… that's Perfect Ultra Instinct?!"
In Universe 7's stands, Beerus stared in utter disbelief.
"If my eyes aren't deceiving me…"
Whis was equally shaken.
"…then yes. It is."
Perfect Ultra Instinct.
Even for Angels, this was an exalted realm.
Few could maintain it perfectly.
"Now this is interesting."
Zeru grinned.
At last, his battle spirit truly ignited.
Ultra Instinct Vegito…
A fusion warrior like this had never appeared in Dragon Ball history.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Zeru released his own aura.
He too entered Perfect Ultra Instinct.
Silver-white brilliance engulfed him, instantly drawing every eye in the Void.
"As expected…"
Beerus inhaled sharply.
"Zeru really has mastered Ultra Instinct."
"This is no accidental breakthrough."
Whis rose from his seat, unable to hide his shock.
"Zeru can enter Ultra Instinct whenever he wishes."
He stared at the arena in disbelief.
"This man…"
Before Whis could finish, an Angel from another universe exclaimed:
"He has completely mastered Ultra Instinct!"
"My God!"
"The Saiyans of Universe 7 are beyond comprehension!"
"They surpassed the gods through their own efforts… and now one of them has fully mastered Perfect Ultra Instinct!"
"It's no wonder our universes lost."
Throughout the Void, voices of awe and disbelief echoed endlessly.
On the arena, Vegito's fused voice rang out, layered with natural reverberation.
"Zeru, now that I'm like this… can I finally excite you?"
Zeru's smile widened.
"A little."
"Hahaha!"
Vegito laughed.
At the same moment, Zeru laughed as well.
Then both smiles vanished.
In the next instant, they moved simultaneously.
Ultra Instinct Vegito vs. Zeru.
A dream battle unlike anything ever seen was about to begin.
