It didn't take long for the rewards of the Kill List to be announced, starting with the first place.
Soon enough, two reward items flickered onto the screen of the live broadcast room.
The first reward item gleamed with promise—a Rank Five golden pill.
[Rank Five Golden Pill: One of a kind pill, capable of significant enhancement of Chakra, physique refinement, and extending lifespan by 300 years. It also possesses healing properties...]
The second reward was a card.
[Duel card: Initiates a duel space. Upon activation, a formidable opponent from differebt world will be randomly selected for combat. Victory yields incredible rewards, while defeat results in losing an item.
Tip: Death is a possibility during the duel; timely surrender is advised to end the match."]
[Tsunade: A Duel card? This is my first encounter with such a thing! It bears resemblance to the challenger card once owned by the Hyuga clan, albeit with a single duel as opposed to thirteen."]
[Senju Hashirama: Considering Yasao's current strength, the Rank 5 Golden Pill holds little appeal. He'll likely opt for the duel card. Winning promises exceptional rewards!]
[Uchiha Madara: Were I in his shoes, I'd go for the duel card!]
[Uzumaki Naruto: But duel cards come with risks. Encounter a stronger opponent, and you could lose both the duel and an item!]
[Orochimaru: Why not take the chance? I doubt Yasao is one to shy away from risks!"]
"Master, which item do you wish to choose?" Kumoko inquired.
"Master, the duel card may pit you against foes of similar strength. Be cautious!" Hong Hong cautioned.
"The Rank Five golden pill holds no value for me. With the duel card, I might unearth a treasure to significantly bolster my strength. Thus, I choose the duel card," Yasao affirmed.
"Master is sure to emerge victorious!" Yaya exclaimed.
And so, Yasao claimed the duel card without hesitation.
Immediately, he activated it.
[Summoning beings of formidable power from different worlds. Please wait momentarily.]
Dragon Ball universe.
Beerus, the God of Destruction, was in a deep slumber when an ominous force jolted him awake.
"What's this?"
Beerus stirred, but before he could react, the force overpowered him, rendering him powerless to resist as he was whisked away into an unfamiliar void.
"Could this be a prank by Lord Zeno?" Beerus speculated.
But he soon realized that the laws governing this place were unlike those of the Dragon Ball universe or any other he knew—a wholly alien environment.
In that moment, fragments of information began to filter through his consciousness.
Soon, Beerus from Dragon Ball grasped the situation.
Some force seemed to be drawing him in, compelling him to face a formidable opponent from the Otherworld. Success promised reward, failure threatened punishment.
But rewards and punishments didn't concern him much.
The chance to spar with Otherworld powerhouses, however, intrigued him.
In the Golden List live room:
The screen unveiled a void.
[Drawing the strongest from all worlds, the opponent: Beerus from the Dragon Ball universe!)
[Beerus: Ha, so the other guy's named Beerus too?]
[Kumoko: What's odd? We've got two Monkey Kings in our world with the same name!"
[Beerus: Damn, something's off, that Beerus in the picture looks like me!)
[Yasao: Beerus, don't be surprised. I've heard Beerus from the Dragon Ball world is the genuine God of Destruction. He's been around for millennia. I've just modeled your training after him."
[Beerus: Master, so I'm mimicking him?)
[Yasao: Train diligently, and you'll surpass him one day. He'll end up mimicking you!)
[Beerus: Master, that's a valid point, I can't argue with that!)
[Senju Hashirama: How strong is this Beerus?]
[Uchiha Madara: You'll soon witness Yasao's true power. It appears Yasao hasn't unleashed his full strength yet.
[Fourth Raikage: The duel's backdrop seems to be a starry sky, with numerous planets around."
[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: These planets are as vast as our Earth!)
[Kakashi: Setting the battlefield in the starry sky!)
[Uchiha Madara: Clearly, their strength is immense, beyond what ordinary locations can contain."
Just then,
Yasao too was transported to this starry sky by Jin Bang's power.
In the vast expanse of the starry sky, Yasao and Beerus stood, unaffected by the surrounding cosmic environment.
"How should I address you?" Beerus inquired with courtesy.
"Yasao," came the calm response, "and you are Beerus, the God of Destruction."
"Ah, you know of me?" Beerus expressed slight surprise.
It was unexpected that beings from the Otherworld were acquainted with him. His renown evidently transcended even worlds unknown to him.
"I've heard of you. This time, I hope you'll give your all in our battle," Yasao stated.
"Very well!" The God of Destruction's fighting spirit surged, his aura emanating a formidable power that distorted the space around them.
Yasao, too, sought to test his own strength, poised to engage Beerus in direct combat.
Boom!
Both launched their attacks simultaneously, their speed so blinding that onlookers in the live broadcast room struggled to follow.
With a thunderous collision, the void ruptured, unleashing a devastating shockwave that swept through the vicinity.
A nearby small star succumbed to the impact, exploding into cosmic dust.
"Immortal Golden Light Wave!" Yasao unleashed the technique, transforming into a beam of light that tore through the fabric of space.
The velocity and scope of the attack were astounding. Beerus made no attempt to evade, instead bearing the full brunt of the immortal light wave, his form propelled across the stars by its force.
Witnesses observed Beerus hurtling through space, crashing into celestial bodies until he collided with a sun, disappearing from view amidst the cosmic chaos.
The sun quivered as it succumbed to the onslaught of golden light, bursting apart in a dazzling display. Countless realms collapsed in the wake of its explosion.
Emerging from the fractured remnants of the sun, Beerus appeared, his crimson form bathed in the aftermath. Despite the ordeal, he swiftly regained his composure.
"Your prowess is truly formidable. Were it not for my resilient constitution, that strike might have been the end of me!" Beerus muttered to himself.
In that fleeting moment,
Witnessing the intensity of the brief skirmish, viewers in the live broadcast room were left dumbfounded, grappling with the sheer incredulity of what they had just witnessed.
"What manner of battle is this? It defies all comprehension!"
