Chapter 102: Shocking the Gods! One Punch Krillin and Trunks
After Zeno turned his head, he directly ignored Beerus and Whis. Then he walked in front of Goten with a childlike innocent smile on his face.
"Haha!! I missed Zeno-sama too."
Goten could only smile awkwardly and respond. Of course, this was a completely perfunctory answer. He didn't want to interact with the little guy in front of him. He knew that every second he spent with Zeno was fraught with danger. But in this situation, what else could he say?
The Grand Priest noticed the awkwardness on Goten's face. He smiled lightly, walked over to Whis, and said, "Your Goten from the Seventh Universe is quite interesting. I never thought Zeno-sama would like a mortal so much!"
Zeno hadn't been interested in a mortal for a long time! It seemed that Goten and Zeno got along quite well.
"Yes, Dai-Shinkan-sama. Goten's personality is very good, and he also has amazing fighting talent," Whis replied respectfully. Although the Grand Priest was his father, there was still a need to maintain decorum in such a solemn place as Zeno's Temple. They couldn't act as father and son here.
"Well, I can see it! He does have very strong combat power. It seems that this combat power is not weaker than a Hakaishin. Looking at your appearance, you should be training him as the next Hakaishin," the Grand Priest continued with a laugh.
As an existence at the ceiling level of combat power in this universe, he could naturally feel the difference in Goten. Although the guys he saw in the Seventh Universe yesterday were all extraordinary, among mortals, they should all be called the best. But compared to Goten, there was a huge gap.
"Yes, for now, Beerus-sama and I do have such a plan. It's just that the future is a little hard to predict. Goten doesn't seem to have much interest in the position of Hakaishin," Whis nodded and continued. Goten had the chance to become the Seventh Universe Hakaishin last time, but he turned it down! Based on what he knew about Goten, he didn't seem to have much interest in the position of Hakaishin. Maybe he had bigger ambitions!
Given his fighting talent, if he had thousands of years of training, his strength could definitely surpass the level of an Angel! At that time, the status of a mere Hakaishin would indeed be unsatisfying for him.
"Oh? Is that so? It sounds interesting and worth keeping an eye on," the Grand Priest said before walking aside.
After Zeno and Goten had a brief chat, Hakaishin, Angels, and Kaiōshin from other universes started arriving one after another. Although this time the exhibition match was only between the Ninth Universe and the Seventh Universe, the gods of other universes were also invited. All the rules and precautions for the Tournament of Power would be formulated today, so the gods from other universes were required to participate.
Time passed minute by minute. Ten minutes later, all the gods of the universe had arrived. On the side of the Ninth Universe, besides the Hakaishin, Kaiōshin, and Angel, those three huskies were indeed among them. They were the three most powerful beings in the Ninth Universe, so it was expected for them to participate in this exhibition match.
"Dai-Shinkan, all the Hakaishin have arrived. Let's start the game now! I can't wait!" Zeno said impatiently, seeing that all the gods of the universe had arrived.
"Okay, that is the main purpose," the Grand Priest nodded. He shook his right hand, and the Angel staff appeared. With a light tap on the ground, the huge temple of Zeno instantly transformed into a massive martial arts tournament venue. In the middle was a suspended ring, surrounded by 13 audience stands. Zeno and the Grand Priest stood at the easternmost position, while the gods of other universes appeared in their respective audience stands.
"A match between the Ninth Universe and the Seventh Universe? Let's see," Hakaishin Belmod of the Eleventh Universe whispered. "Beerus' Seventh Universe has a low comprehensive level of mortals."
Belmod, a diligent Hakaishin, had a thorough understanding of these things. The two universes participating in the exhibition match were the ones with the weakest comprehensive mortal strength.
"My Lord, don't be negligent. I feel that the mortals in the Seventh Universe seem quite good. They might not be that weak," Angel Marcarita corrected. Although she couldn't accurately gauge the real power of the Seventh Universe contestants, she sensed they were not so simple. In contrast, the three warriors of the Ninth Universe didn't seem special.
"Oh, is that so?" Belmod replied. "Since you say that, it seems worth paying attention to." He quickly put away his contempt, knowing that Marcarita's opinion was valuable. According to the Grand Priest, there would be a Tournament of Power involving all universes after this round. It was essential to take a good look at the competition's strength.
"Toppo! Take a good look at the Seventh Universe's mortals' power. It might be useful during the Tournament of Power," Belmod instructed Toppo, who was wearing a black cloak beside him.
"Yes, Belmod-sama," Toppo nodded quickly.
All the Hakaishin started whispering.
"I heard that Zeno-sama held this Tournament of Power because the Sixth Universe and the Seventh Universe had a private match."
"That's right, that's why."
"In that case, the two brothers Champa and Beerus are really troublemakers!"
"Who's to say otherwise? That bastard Beerus almost got us killed in that hide-and-seek game with Zeno-sama millions of years ago."
Soon, the blame was directed at the Sixth and Seventh Universes. If it weren't for Beerus and Champa, Zeno-sama wouldn't have held such a sudden competition. They were more worried about severe punishment if they lost the game.
"Okay everyone, please enjoy the whole exhibition! The rules of the match are simple: the three contestants from the Ninth Universe will fight against the three contestants from the Seventh Universe. The key to determining the outcome is to send your opponent out of the ring," the Grand Priest announced, and the whispers fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to the Seventh and Ninth Universes.
The Grand Priest didn't formulate detailed rules for the Tournament of Power yet because he wanted to determine them based on this exhibition match. Too many rules now might affect his judgment and subsequent decisions.
"Now, please send a participant from each side for the first match," the Grand Priest's voice sounded again.
"Sidra-sama, let me compete in this first match. Looking at those guys from the Seventh Universe, they seem to be nothing special. I will win the match right away," the youngest of the Dangerous Trio, Basil, volunteered confidently. He had observed the three contestants from the Seventh Universe and felt he could eliminate them easily.
"Okay, then you go," Hakaishin Sidra nodded.
"Basil, don't be too careless! To be able to become a top participant in the universe and appear in a sacred place like Zeno's Temple, their strength is absolutely not weak!" Angel Mojito kindly reminded the pompous and confident Basil. After all, to participate in this competition, those three must be the most powerful mortals in their universe. If he were to be careless, there would be no good results.
"Yes! I see!" Basil nodded quickly. Although he behaved politely, his expression was still arrogant.
Whoosh!
Basil's body flashed and appeared directly in the ring.
On the side of the Seventh Universe, Beerus asked, "You three, who will get rid of that husky?"
"Beerus-sama, Goten, let me do this first battle. That guy's strength is too weak; I can easily defeat him," Krillin stepped forward and spoke to Beerus and Goten.
"Okay, then you go, Krillin," Goten nodded immediately. The strength of the three brothers in the Ninth Universe was ridiculously weak. Regardless of the order in which they played, the final result would not change.
Krillin appeared in the ring, opposite Basil.
"Is the game about to start? I'm looking forward to it!" Zeno looked excited. After waiting for so long, the match was finally about to start!
"Then, let the match begin!" the Grand Priest's voice sounded.
In the arena, Basil smirked and said to Krillin, "Hehehe... Baldy, I didn't expect my opponent to be you! It really disappoints me! Next, I will eliminate you in an instant and show you the strength of our Ninth Universe."
Krillin didn't reply; he knew there was no point in talking to this kind of opponent.
"Are you too scared to speak? Then let me finish this early!" Seeing Krillin's silence, Basil became even more ecstatic. He jumped up, gathering energy at his toes, forming a light yellow glow, and kicked at Krillin. Basil's strongest attacks were with his legs and feet.
"Too slow..." Krillin shook his head in disappointment. He jumped up, not giving Basil a chance to react, and punched Basil hard on the cheek.
Boom!
With a low crashing sound, Basil's body was blown out of the ring with a single punch.
Zeno blinked his big eyes with a dazed expression. "What's this... Is it over?"
The Hakaishin of the other universes looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that the gap between mortal levels was actually so large? The battle had not even lasted a second, and it was over!
"Marcarita, it seems that what you said was right. That bald guy from the Seventh Universe, his speed just now was ridiculously fast. There's no doubt that even Toppo's speed may not reach that level. It seems the Seventh Universe cannot be underestimated at all," Belmod said seriously.
"Oops! The gap between the contestants from the two universes seems too big!" the Grand Priest said in surprise. The battle was resolved in an instant!
[T/N: Oopsie~ I misjudged the strength of teams in this exhibition match. Hopefully Zeno-sama doesn't spank mee~]
"Then, let's start the second match!" The Grand Priest's voice rang out.
Trunks' body flashed and appeared in the ring. His opponent was the poisonous Lavender from the Ninth Universe. Lavender was very weak, even weaker than Basil, but he was insidious and cunning, best at using poison to incapacitate his opponents.
Trunks, being a decisive fighter, would never give his opponent any chance to attack. Especially against such a weak opponent, Trunks would never underestimate them.
As soon as he transformed into Super Saiyan IV, Trunks defeated Lavender with one punch. This scene left all the Hakaishin dumbfounded. The power Trunks displayed felt stronger than some gods.
"Got to be... kidding!"
"The mortal from the Seventh Universe just now, at the moment when his form changed, his strength actually reached that level!"
"It feels stronger than some gods. Are these guys really just mortals?"
Heles, Hakaishin from Universe 2, said in disbelief. The bald man was strong enough, but the handsome boy, Trunks, was even stronger. The aura he released when defeating Lavender was incredibly powerful. He was definitely a top existence among mortals. In the Second Universe, there had never been such a powerful mortal warrior.
"Hehehe... Bastard Beerus, when did you train such a powerful mortal? Did you know Zeno-sama would hold an All Universe Tournament and started training mortal warriors in advance?" Hakaishin Quitela of the Fourth Universe said angrily. Because he and Beerus had always been rivals, seeing the powerful mortals in Beerus' universe made him quite unhappy.
At this moment, the Hakaishin of all universes were whispering, amazed at Trunks' power after transforming into Super Saiyan IV.
In the stands of the Eleventh Universe, Belmod finally showed a serious expression. "Toppo, feel it! That guy from the Seventh Universe released an extremely powerful ki just now."
Although this power was definitely not comparable to Jiren's, it was still outrageous for a mortal to reach this level. He was definitely trained by an Angel.
"Yes, Belmod-sama. That power was very strong. Ashamed to say, if I do not transform into Hakaishin form, I might not be his opponent," Toppo said solemnly. It seemed the Seventh Universe was not as weak as they imagined. If Trunks was the second to fight, the one who didn't fight might be the strongest. The real strong always stayed until the end, just like Jiren from their Eleventh Universe.
[T/N: Hey guys, I might not be able to update a chapter tomorrow. So here's the additional one for the day. Enjoy!]
