章 233: Tournament of Power
Right above the pillar and beneath Lord Zeno's spectator seats the Grand Priest stood on a small platform recounting the rules of this tournament.
The time limit was 48 minutes and with it the pillar in the middle will get lowered to indicate the progress. Weapons that aren't techniques as well as killing was forbidden.
Broly slapped the unresponsive Janemba at the back of his head. Janemba instantly knew what his master wanted and stored his sword in his pocket dimension.
Further rules were the only disqualification rule. One had to be thrown off the stage to be disqualified. It didn't matter if a participant was knocked out as long as he was still on the stage.
Techniques to fly cannot be used, of course, beings that could naturally fly were exempt from this restriction. The last rule was that healing items were completely forbidden.
The Grand Priest wanted to close the introduction with this, but a hand was raised amongst the warriors of universe 7.
"What is your question, Broly?" The Grand Priest asked with a surprised look. The rules were simple, and he didn't expect for anyone to have a question.
"You said killing is forbidden, but what if the contestant was knocked off the stage first before he died?"
The grand Priest thought for a second before answering, "All the contestants will be treated by their respective angel. if they were knocked off and still succumbed to their wounds, it would be the angel's fault."
"Oh? I see, understandable…" Broly said seemingly innocent as he smiled slightly.
His team members, however, couldn't help but shiver at his 'innocent' response. The other warriors were also irked by the question he asked.
Goku put a hand on Broly's shoulder before whispering, "Hey, Broly could you hold back a little.". Broly looked at Goku's hand on his shoulder before brushing it off.
"Alright. I intended to watch until the cannon fodders were eliminated anyway."
"Thanks!" Goku gave Broly a thumbs up before looking through the ranks of the other warriors.
"Are there any other questions?" The Grand Priest waited for a moment and then went to ask Lord Zeno if it was alright to start the tournament.
The two Zeno's couldn't keep their excitement to their selves and urged the Grand Priest to announce the start.
The Grand Priest bowed slightly to the two Zenos and then turned towards the participants.
"And now, warriors of each universe. Prepare yourselves."
It turned into a moment of silence as the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Almost everyone took in a battle stance to prepare for the incoming battle.
"Let the Tournament of Power begin!" As soon as the Grand Priest's voice fell and his hand swung down, numerous warriors of the different universes began to dash towards their first opponent they had chosen.
While almost everyone immediately fell into combat, Jiren's opponents were intimidated by his mere glance and backed off voluntarily.
The same went for Broly, who had a menacing smile on his face as soon as the tournament started.
He looked like he couldn't wait to start a massacre, even though he was just excited to watch some fights.
Unlike in the series universe 7's team was more united. The only ones, who carried out their own things were Broly, Vegeta, Goku.
Janemba and Buu listened to every command from Piccolo, while Cell was barely disciplined enough through his service in Broly's army.
The other 7 team members stood in a circle and protected each other from any ambushes.
Their individual strength was impressive and with Piccolo as the head, their combined effort quickly fended off any challenger that appeared.
Broly ignored the chaos that quickly arrived at the start of the tournament and headed towards the pillar in the middle.
He strolled through the battlefield like it was his backyard, while all kinds of techniques devastated the surroundings.
There were nearly no pauses between explosions as shouts of struggle sounded out all across the field.
Broly quickly reached the pillar and jumped to the top. He sat down with his legs dangling over the edge, while his gaze swept across the battlefield.
He was shocked as he realized that after not even a minute two participants were knocked off the stage. One was even thrown off by Goku.
Goku was now preoccupied with the Trio of Danger, Cell lost himself in bullying an 'inferior being'. Vegeta was pummeling some poor contestants into the ground, while the rest of the team was sticking to their defensive plan.
Super Buu was a great distraction for most of the threats as his opponents tried their best to inflict some damage, but he just kept generating or moved his body around like liquid.
Janemba was also appraised highly by the others as he traveled through his pocket dimension and beat up the incoming challengers.
The gods of destruction of the other universes had their attention drawn to universe 7 as were the attention of the other contestants.
Unknowingly they all considered universe 7 as the biggest threat with their weird and powerful team members.
Piccolo was busy with commanding the others, while holding off some warriors with his long arms.
Vegeta unexpectedly gave Goku a hand in fighting the trio wolves, while the others were surrounded by more than a dozen of warriors.
However, as united as they were, they had no problem in defending against all of them at the same time.
Their strength was higher than most of the participants and their teamwork was rather decent. It was more than enough to take on full teams of weaker universes.
Broly watched on happily as he looked at Vegeta and Goku completely decimating universe 9's entire team. In just three minutes they knocked all of them down.
After being announced that all fighters of universe 9 were defeated, Lord Zeno swiftly erased universe 9 without batting an eyelash.
The whole battlefield became silent for the first time since the start of this tournament.
They all only woke up when they realized the harsh truth of what happened. They now internalized that their loss had truly had consequences.
The battle soon resumed, while Broly was still watching leisurely. There were some that approached him, but they were slapped away by an invisible force not even 10 meters off the ground.
Suddenly another presence looked at him from afar. Broly looked to his left, deep into the battlefield and saw Jiren, surrounded by some other Pride Troopers, watching him with an intense glare.
"Don't look at me with your puppy eyes. Sit and enjoy the show. You should know that it would be unwise for us to fight already." Broly reached out to him with telepathy.
Jiren remained silent for a few seconds, before he finally responded, "This only applies if you are strong enough to make me exhausted."
'What a bluffer…' Broly thought as he rolled his eyes.
He turned away from Jiren and looked at his disciples, who were already rampaging in the midst of some other universes team.
Kale with her legendary state was easily able to defeat almost every opponent thrown to her.
Caulifla was also a lot stronger than her counterpart in the series and was going through the other warriors with ease.
They were also attracting a lot of attention of the other universes, even Jiren looked over to watch them for a moment.
Until now Jiren had not once entered his meditation, it seemed like he was cautious to not let his guard down, which was quite surprising as Jiren was rather prideful and arrogant.
Toppo, next to Jiren, was loudly shouting out his justice skills and bombarded the other contestants.
Just as Broly glanced over the other warriors that weren't as interesting to watch, someone arrived next to him.
Broly turned around to see, who it was.
"Hey, Master!" He was cheerfully greeted by Kale with a wave of her hand. She was constantly in her legendary state as she could keep it up almost indefinitely.
Broly raised an eyebrow as he saw her walk to the edge not far away from him. Her ki peaked and her body was enveloped by a dark green light until it converged into spheres.
"Seriously?" Broly asked as he jumped down the pillar, barely escaping the onslaught of ki attacks that were thrown into every direction.
The surface of the stage was quickly blown up. Many were caught off by that and were quickly thrown off the stage as a result.
Universe 7 still had yet to suffer any losses, but Piccolo was already exhausted from multitasking.
To elevate the pressure the Saiyans powered up one at a time, but still keeping enough energy to last the whole tournament.
No one was able to get through their defense until the chaos caused by Kale's are attack.
Several Pride Troopers took this chance to divide them further up.
