Kapitel 232: First encounter
Just when they reached the edge of the universe, they teleported and in just a blink of an eye they arrived on a giant area with a tall pillar coming out of the middle.
Half a circle was revolving around the arena, which was the spectator seats, and a tiny light was illuminating the arena.
In midst the surroundings, this little light was the only thing that seemed real. The light made the dark shaded nebula like mater around the arena visible.
The world of Void seemed desolate, which was to be expected considering the name it was given.
Broly, with his eyes that could see into the very structure of things, was even more puzzled.
He could sense that the arena itself was clearly made out of material of the dragon ball multiverse, but the void outside was truly not part of the multiverse.
These nebula like mater was some sort of energy and as Broly tried to see deeper into detail, the information assaulted his brain. As they looked down beneath the arena, only darkness greeted them.
To Broly, however, the absence of the light his sight became even clearer, which in turn increased the burden. He couldn't help but stop his prying eyes.
Broly looked at the other participants of his universe, namely: Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Alea, Zangya, Cell, Piccolo, Janemba and Super Buu.
After Broly had heard from Vegeta, who the other participants were, Broly had quickly replaced two from the list with Buu and Janemba.
He was certain they would be a greater assistance than the original choice of Raditz and Bardock, especially considering their weird abilities.
One with a seemingly omnipotent regeneration, the other with space manipulation and both had high strength to boot.
They were highly unpredictable variables for the other universes and since they do whatever Broly ordered, they were a perfect controllable asset for the team.
It was a last-minute change but Beerus and Whis didn't interfere with the decision after hearing the explanation.
Broly gave the commanding rights of the demons to Piccolo, who was announced as their leader.
Broly was fine with it as Piccolo was intelligent enough to get the best out of the team members.
Gohan now was still too young to be the leader. Of course, he himself would do his own thing as would Vegeta and Goku with their personality.
The other warriors slowly appeared while Whis was explaining the surroundings, for example the inability to fly and that they would be teleported to the spectator seats if they were knocked off the ring.
Broly had seen the teleportation mechanism beneath the arena as well as the restrictions in the air.
If he forced it, he could probably go around the mechanism, but that would be too high-profile, especially considering that the two Omni-Kings was present.
After explaining this, Whis, Beerus and the universe's 7 Kais flew towards their spectator seats, while the other participants of the different universes appeared one at a time.
Broly looked around to see if there were some difference to the ones present and the ones he saw in the series, but unfortunately, there was not much difference.
Broly already knew, who the aces of the teams were, but there were only few people Broly looked forward to fight against and that included his disciples.
The rest of the warriors were only cannon fodder in his eyes. Merely here to fill in the gaps. Of course, this was only of the perspective of Broly, universe's 7 uncrowned King.
Broly looked towards universe 10 spectator seats, but he couldn't find Zamasu.
He already had been told about it by Vegeta and Goku, but he couldn't help but turn towards Piccolo and ask again, "Where there really warriors from the future, during the time I was away?"
Piccolo looked at him for a second before telling him about the events of Goku Black, which was quite the shock to Broly.
"Man, I truly missed all that? I thought I could see it in real life" Broly was disappointed but he didn't dwell long on it. Piccolo only looked at him confused. 'What does he mean by real life?'
While Broly looked around, he saw Goku greet universe 6. There was one additional Saiyan, which should be Cabba.
Surprisingly, this version had some scars on his body and didn't seem to be as malnourished as in the series. He wasn't super muscular, but his arms weren't twigs either.
Cabba and Vegeta obviously didn't have a master-disciple relationship and Cabba seemed to be at odds with Broly's disciples.
'Maybe they fought on different sides in the civil war.' Broly thought as he went to them and greeted them as well.
Suddenly an intimidating aura gushed out from a blinding light that indicated the arrival of another universe.
After the group revealed themselves in their black and red uniforms, Goku stepped forward to greet Toppo. Obviously, the man of justice wasn't pleased to be acquainted with Goku.
It was only a few days ago, when the preliminary matches of Zeno's Exhibition Match took place and Toppo still held some resentment towards Goku, who had got this tournament rolling. During the Exhibition Math, Goku, Gohan and Zangya had fought against universe 9.
The only reason why they didn't ask Broly to participate was because of his status as the strongest. They wanted to keep him, universe 7's trump card, hidden.
Broly followed Goku towards universe 11. He just couldn't help but look at them close up.
Jiren was obviously turned with his back towards them, giving the greeters the cold shoulder, while Toppo and Goku had a little conversation.
"…I have no interest in personal squabbles!" Toppo shouted as he waved his arm. "Hmm. But we gonna fight anyways." Goku responded.
"We will deal with it at that time!" Toppo shouted or was it just his normal talking voice, Broly couldn't tell.
Goku peaked at Jiren, who was positioned behind Toppo further back. Goku called out to him as he thought Jiren looked strong, "Say, you-"
"Get lost." Jiren coldly interrupted Goku from behind his back. Only after Jiren said something did Goku notice his presence.
"When did you…?" Goku was shocked and quickly turned around, only to see that he wasn't even paying attention to him anymore.
Jiren looked at Broly, who pointed his fingertips towards Jiren's neck.
"I really don't like being sneaked up on." Broly coldly said as his fingers seemed incomparable sharp as if it would cut right through Jiren's neck.
They interlocked eyes with each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Both weren't willing to give in.
Alea suddenly called out to Broly and led him away, preventing a fight to break out even before the tournament started. Jiren followed Broly's back with squinted eyes. "This one is very dangerous."
He said out loud, surprising the other Pride Troopers.
They couldn't believe that Jiren had acknowledged someone as dangerous. Even Toppo wasn't evaluated this highly.
Toppo wanted to rebuke him as he seen the fight of Broly against Hit on GodTube. That last attack of Broly was impressive but also left him completely exhausted.
Toppo didn't think that Broly was as dangerous to be seen that way by Jiren, but he also knew that he wasn't in a position to doubt Jiren's judgement in terms of speculating someone's strength.
The other gods of destruction then sped up the construction of the arena. Everyone had to dodge the flying blocks, except for Jiren, who saw through the movements of them and just let them fly past him.
There was another who didn't dodge a block and was being watched by Jiren. Broly didn't even look at the block, who directly headed for him and it was clear that it would hit Broly.
Boom!
As everyone expected, the block directly collided with Broly and it was instantly pulverized.
Broly stood there without a scratch even though he just had a collision with the one of the hardest materials in the multiverse, Kachi Katchin.
Broly coldly returned Jiren's gaze before he looked towards the gods of destruction and calmly threatened them as he brushed off the dust on his shoulder, "Watch what you are doing, construction workers."
Everyone was speechless even Jiren was surprised by Broly's boldness.
They stared at him, but Broly was already used to the stares of the gods, after all, Whis and Beerus had constantly sneaked glances at him after they had met since his body reconstruction.
Fortunately, the silence was being dispersed by the Grand Priests announcement of the completion of the fighting stage.
The grand priest then went on to introduce the universes and then handed off the speech to Lord Zeno and his timeline twin.
"Everybody, thanks for coming! We've been really looking forward to this! Everybody! Make it, exciting for us!" The two Zeno's called out.
"Thank you for those wonderful words." The Grand Priest thanked them and then went on to explain the rules of Tournament of Power.
