Because of the rules, Piccolo cant use his roots skills as they are an exterior weapon, not a part of Piccolo's body, thus he has to play things strategically
Piccolo knew that his opponents are strong and because they have sacrificed so much for the survival of their universe, they won't go down easily
Thus he planned his move the moment he saw Pilina and Saonel fighting in perfect sync.
Him falling near the edge of the ring was also a plan and just before Pilina and Saonel could land an attack on him, Piccolo immediately jumped up in the air and then released an energy blast from his mouth to make sure that Pilina and Saonel are down for good.
It was not the best plan but still worth it as Piccolo managed to win and that's all that matters to him and his universe.
*whooo*
"It's not just you all who have your universe on the line, we are also fighting for our universe's survival" Piccolo speaks as he looks down from the edge of the ring where Pilin and Saonel fell down.
*!*
*BANG*
"What?"
Out of nowhere, something strikes Piccolo from behind and that costed Piccolo to lose his balance and so he falls down from the ring
*SWISH*
"What was that?" Piccolo asks in disbelief as he has no idea in the world just how he fell down when he didn't even see or sense anyone near him
Someone came and kicked him, how?
Even Beerus and both Kai's are surprised to see Piccolo by their side as he should have been there, but how in the world did he lose?
"What happened to you?
Did you lose your balance?" Supreme Kai asks Piccolo as no one can accept how he fell down from the ring.
Piccolo replies "I don't know…
All I know is that someone pushed me but I didn't even sense anyone near me.
I have no idea how I fell down the ring"
And then, from the side-
"kkekekekeke
Serves your right Beerus" Quitela, God of Destruction from Universe 4, said with an evil smile.
It's clear that this man knows something about Piccolo falling down but he didn't say anything and Whis assumes that it's some invisible fighter that managed to kick Piccolo out of the ring.
This shocked everyone as fighting against an invisible guy is hard and no one knows where this invisible fighter is now.
Champa is also laughing and cheering for the invisible fighter, he is really happy to see his twin brothers fighter out of the ring and this makes Beerus angry
But soon Champa became silent when he saw Hit on his side.
"What the HELL!!!
Why are you here?!!!!" Champa shouts in disbelief as the best fighter his universe had to offer is out of the ring.
During the battle of Piccolo, on the other side of the ring-
Goku gave his best to defeat Jiren but Jiren still managed to win the battle and just before he was about to kick Goku out of the ring
Hit makes his appearance and challenges Jiren, and as the story went- Hit lost to Jiren and now he is also out of the match.
Back to the present time-
"oye oye oye!!!
Are you joking with me, I have already lost 7 fighters
SHIT!!!
It is now only Kale and Caulifla and Dr. Rota but that man is useless so its only two fighters
OYE YOU KALE AND CAULIFLA!!
DON'T YOUR DARE LOSE THE BATTLE!!!
Or else I will destroy you both before everything vanishes."
"Serves you right for cheering for the enemy team" Beerus told Champa with a smile, he is really happy to know that his twin brother is almost out of the tournament.
Back to the arena-
Jiren is right now standing in front of Goku
Goku is flat down on the ground, trying to stand on his feet again but it looks like Jiren don't have any idea of letting Goku get back on his feet
It's clear that Jiren will push Goku out of the ring and Beerus is scared right now.
"hehehe
You are really strong… Jiren" Goku remarks as he slowly slowly stands back on his feet but he stumbles and falls on his knees
It's clear that Goku is completely exhausted.
"This is it for you" Jiren tells Goku and as he shows his palm, ready to blast away Goku from the arena
BUT
*WHOOSH*
*THUCK*
Raditz appears between Goku and Jiren.
"Who are you?" Jiren asks as he stares deep into eyes of Raditz
Raditz didn't wave from this stare, rather he stood in a calm manner and after a while, he replies "Raditz… Raditz"
*whooo*
The cold wind blows around Raditz and Jiren and silence filled the place.
Android 17 appears beside Goku and takes him away to a safe place but before leaving, Goku warns Raditz about Jiren, and Jiren nods.
After Goku leaves, Raditz finally stands properly in front of Jiren and also took his steps to get closer to Jiren
And then both of them look into each other's eyes. Both of them have the same height with Jiren having a slight edge but overall it's the same.
At the spectator's side-
Beerus and both Kai's are looking at the Raditz as they don't know exactly how strong Raditz is and for now, they believe that Raditz is weaker than Goku.
Why?
Because Goku holds the power level of 100 trillion in base form and during his autonomous Ultra Instinct state, which doesn't give a huge power buff but a huge upgrade in sense and overall skills had the power level of 15 quadrillion
[Note: Let me make this clear, all of the power buffs or power levels are different from the original story as I have made many new forms and many changes in power level.
Thus, to keep things balanced, UI or Ultra Instinct that Goku showed had a small power buff as he has just tapped into it and then he will get more buffs as he learns more about it.]
This power level is really low as compared to the SSJ God or Blue because it was just a tap into the Ultra Instinct State
Thus, Goku received only x150 buff on his base power and then a huge buff in senses and skills that helped him to fight Jiren on par
But the same is not the case with Raditz.
Raditz neither has Ultra Instinct nor he had ever trained under any Angel or God, he has trained all by himself with his partner Nappa and Vegeta.
And Raditz's current power level is over 500 billion. or 510 billion to be exact, not even in trillions so it is expected for everyone to feel that Raditz will lose this battle
But then again, won't Raditz know this?
*crack*
One more time the ground starts cracking and tiny stones and rocks started floating in the air as Raditz starts releasing a huge amount of power
But still, Jiren is not fazed by it.
*BWOOOOOOOM*
*SSJ Blue form*
*Current power level- 51 quintillions*
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both Kai's, Beerus, and even Whis are surprised to see Raditz in SSJ Blue form
Elder Kai asks, "How did he manage to attain that form?"
Even Beerus had the same question and Whis replies "Maybe it's related to Vegeta San?
As I believe that if there is anyone who is able to transfer God or Divine Ki to other people without facing any backlash, then it must be him only"
And at this point, everyone asked "Where is Vegeta?"
Vegeta, even now, has masked his Ki so well that no one is able to sense him.
In the arena-
Even though Raditz has attained SSJ Blue form, it's still nothing compared to the power level of Goku's SSJ Blue form which is Sextillions
So, everyone is still worried about Raditz but it's not the same for Vegeta and Nappa
"So it's now Raditz's turn…" Nappa remarks as he senses Raditz Ki
Vegeta nods and said "It should have been better to go all out from the beginning but it's his fight
He is free to fight in his own way"
Nappa nods to him and so the battle between Raditz and Jiren begins.
*BANG*
*BWOOOOM*
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
One after another, Raditz sends a barrage of punches at Jiren but all of them
Just literally every single fist is blocked by Jiren with one hand alone, showing the difference between him and Raditz.
*BANG*
*BWOOOOOM*
The whole arena trembles from the kick of Raditz to Jiren but still!
The monster of Universe 11, Jiren, is not down or even blinked from that kick.
*WHOOOSH*
*THUCK*
It is clear, as clear as the water or reflection in the mirror that Jiren is stronger than Raditz and this is not so good for Universe 7
Beerus was not feeling good about the battle from the beginning but there is nothing he can do accept
"LEAVE THAT GUY ALONE
GOKU WILL HANDLE HIM LATER ON, for now!
Just leave!" Beerus tells Raditz
BUT
"I guess I was a fool to think that I could make you move with just this much power level"
"Then are you going to step out of the ring yourself?"
"hahaha really?
I haven't even shown my full power yet
haaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
*BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
*Ki wrapping around the body of Raditz, making a certain shape*
"Allow me to introduce myself again, I am… Raditz- The Dragon"
. . .
