Chapter 156:Tournament of Power Pt.3

Soren had come around a big piece of debris from the destroyed stage, and what he saw made a smile appear on his face. Sitting in a meditative position was a Gray skinned alien figure like those described on Earth, he was extremely buff, and he had big Black colored eyes that could reflect the entire Universe, he wore a Red and Black spandex suit, with a White pair of gloves, and boots. The guy was surrounded by 2 other people wearing the same spandex outfit with White gloves and boots, one was the figure that was spying on Soren earlier, while the other was a big fat guy with a bald head, and a White mustache, his skin was Orange in color, and had pointed ears, and if you look closer, you could also see veins bulging from the top of his head. The fat guy also had hands the size of boulders, as each hand was the same size of his body, Soren felt like he had one too many yanks at his dragon, Soren then began to walk towards the trio, and the second both the rabbit man, and the man with gigantic hands caught sight of Soren, they got into battle positions.

[Stop right there Villian!... I am Toppo, a Hero of Justice!]: toppo

[Oh?... Will you give me a good fight?]: soren

Soren already knew that Toppo would not give him a good fight, but might give him a good warm up.

[This will not be a fight, I will defeat you here and now, and save my Universe… But your first opponent will not be me, but will be my comrade… Dyspo! Fight with him for Justice!]: toppo

The rabbit man, named Dyspo had a smile grow on his face as he jumped forwards and came around 10 meters from Soren.

[My name is Dyspo… You should know that you won't have the chance to fight with Toppo, or Jiren, because you will lose to me, here and now]: dyspo

[Boring… Let's get this over with]: soren

Soren didn't even bother taking a fighting stance, as he just placed his hands behind his back. Soren looked like a God of Destruction, wearing his Godly Clothing, and having his hands placed behind his back, and paired with Soren's long Black hair tied in a topknot that only let Soren's hair touch down to the back of his knees, Soren looked like an Ancient God who came down to decide the fate of the entire world. Dyspo felt anger towards Soren, due to the fact, Soren didn't see Dyspo as his equal, and showed this by keeping both his hands behind his back.

[You will regret taking me lightly… Taste my lightning fast kicks]: dyspo

Dyspo kicked off the ground, and rushed Soren who still stood his place, and hadn't moved a single inch. Dyspo thought Soren couldn't make out his moves, and was too scared to react, so Dyspo got cocky, and went in for the attack. The second the attack landed on Soren's chest, Dyspo felt like he was kicking at an Impenetrable wall of steel, Dyspo had then kicked off of Soren's body, and landed a few meters away from Soren, and all he saw was Soren looking down at his chest, where there was a Black metal-like substance covering his body.

[Y-You… Your cheating!... The rules state no outside items used for battle can be used during the match… You Villainous Scum!]: dyspo

Soren just took his right hand and dusted the area that was kicked by Dyspo, off, before the Black area dispersed and went back to the color of Soren's White skin.

[Oh?... You say I am cheating… Do you have proof?]: soren

Dyspo was livid, he just watched as Soren had some kind of Black metal cover over his body to protect him from the attack, and now it was gone.

[Y-You!... That metal that protected you from my attack! I saw you disperse it!]: dyspo

[Oh, yes!... That is one of my abilities… I can cover my body with my Will, and harden it into something like Steel, but by no means is that cheating… It hurts that you would tarnish my reputation… What have I done to you?]: soren

Dyspo was looking towards the Grand Priest, who happened to be looking towards his and Soren's fight between each other. Dyspo then began to speak his feelings, and in fact, might have been the feelings of everyone participating in the Tournament.

[Your Universe caused this whole problem, and now Entire Universes are being erased, yet you have the gall to ask what you have doen?... You are just another Villain who deserves to have his whole Universe perrish, not the other Universes]: dyspo

Soren was utterly surprised by Dyspo's idiocracy.

'Did he never pay attention to What the Grand Priest had said at the Grand Zen-Oh Expo?': soren

[Listen here… You all should be thanking my Universe… If Goku had not asked to have a Tournament involving all the Universes, then all 8 of us who are participating would have been erased, but now 1 of us has a chance to survive… So do you really want to call Universe 7, Villain's, and Monsters?]: soren

Soren had given the facts to Dyspo, and he could visually see Dyspo fighting within himself. Soren just took a few steps forward, and picked Dyspo up, and the second Dyspo realized what happened, Soren had already launched Dyspo through the sky, and off of the stage. Soren then placed his left hand over his eyes as if he was blocking the sun, and searching for something, Soren then gave a whistle, before he spoke, and Dyspo reappeared in the spectator stands.

[Wow… Home run or what!.... He flew quite a distance]: soren

Soren then faced toward the remaining Two persons, after dealing with Dyspo, but something was off. Both Toppo, and Jiren had disappeared, Soren then heard an explosion near by, and noticed Goku on top of a large mountain-like piece of stage debris, while both Toppo, and Jiren were watching Goku power up a large Blue orb attack.

[Well… I guess I can let Goku reach this stage, I don't want him to lose future battles due to missing experience]: soren

Soren then sat back, and watched as the Spirit Bomb of Goku got bigger and bigger, he then watched as both of the Zen-chan's raised their hands, and gave Goku energy, which made the ball expand exponentially. Goku then threw the Spirit Bomb at Jiren, and watched as the attack was being pushed back by Jiren with one hand, Soren then watched as Goku continued to push back, and then it was just a stand still. Goku then began to power up to SSGSSP, with Kaio-Ken x10, and the second that happened, Jiren used both hands to push back the Spirit Bomb, and began to sweat a bit, but it was still something that he could handle. The Spirit Bomb began to warp, and compress, while giving off some lightning strikes, that stuck empty parts of the stage, and soon after, the Spirit Bomb, turned into a Black and White flashing Supernova, Goku then ran out of all his energy, and started to fall down into his own attack.

[This is it… I guess I helped make it more powerful, by giving some of my own Energy, along with Goku reaching the next stage of SSGSS]: soren

Once Goku fell into the Black and White Supernova, it disappeared into nothingness. Everyone let out a few Gasps, while Krillin, Roshi, and Piccolo screamed out Goku's name, Gohan was still on the stage fighting someone, until he looked towards where Goku was and lost concentration.

[Dad!... GUUUHAHAAA!]: gohan

Gohan was then kicked into the void, and was eliminated, leaving Soren, Zenith, Killua, Gon, Vegeta, and Goku?. Soren continued to watch the whole thing play out, on top of a large rock, where a few people came up to him, but were blown away, and it was unknown if anyone was eliminated from it.

[It appears Goku has died… Due to it originally being his own attack, it will be qualified under Self Destruction, and Contestant Jiren will not be disqualified… Match Continues!]: GP

After the Grand Priest said this, both Zen-Oh's felt a little sad, but due to them being almost machine-like, and almost emotionless, they didn't put too much care into it, because they still looked at it, as they still have Soren as their best friend, as well as each other. Both Zen-Oh's began to pick up the tablet that has all the 8 Universe contestants marked down, and started to press Goku's image to count him as disqualified, while everyone from Universe 7 were grieving over the loss of Goku.

'Are you really gone?': vegeta

'Hmph!… Goku, if you are still alive, you better fix things now': beerus

'Such a shame… Goku was a great student': whis

'Goku!... You were my best friend, please come back!': krillin

'Dad!... Are you really gone, just like that?': gohan

'It's time Goku… Make your Hero Entrance': soren

After Goku disappeared, and the grand Priest announced that Jiren will not be disqualified, due to Goku self destructing, both he and Toppo began to turn around, and go check on Dyspo, as they had no idea he was disqualified yet. And right as one of the Zen-Oh's were about to tap on Goku's image, the whole void started to tremble and shake, catching everyone's attention, especially Universe 7's, and more specifically Beerus and Whis.

'He's coming!': beerus

Soon the stage was lit up with a White beam shooting into the sky, and piercing the void. Soren watched in amazement, as he went through the same thing, but his was more controlled, due to it resonating with his Angel Bloodline, so it came naturally to him. Beerus also had a breakthrough with a similar beam, but it wasn't as strong as Goku's breakthrough. Both Zen-Oh's stopped what they were doing, and watched on as the White beam of light started to disperse, and a figure was able to be seen walking out of the White light. Both Jiren, and Toppo turned their attention back towards the area Goku had exploded, and watched as Goku's whole appearance had changed, he now had Black hair with a Grayish hue, his eyes were Gray in color with Black pupils, and his body became more compact, while releasing a hot wave of energy that could burn a normal person to death. Soren watched as Goku's new figure was in his Ultra Instinct Oman stage, and not completely there yet, he then thought back on how long it took Goku to reach the Mastered stage, and even though it was minutes in reality, but watching the Anime, it was many episodes. Soren had felt it would have been an easy win for Universe 7 if they had brought Yamcha as one of the participants, and had him charge Jiren.

'What a shame… Would have been a funny sight': soren

Goku then turned his attention towards Jiren, who was around 300 meters away from him, and not even in a second, Goku disappeared from his spot and reappeared kicking towards Jiren. Everyone except Soren was surprised to see Goku's new form, all the Gods of Destruction felt something resonating off of Goku, that they couldn't grasp yet, all except Beerus.

[Oh ho ho ho… Goku has broken through his shell, and reached that stage of Ultra Instinct… But something is wrong… It's not complete]: whis

When all the Gods of Destruction, besides Beerus, heard Whis' claim, they looked towards Whis with shock on their faces, and then back towards Goku while hoping he gets eliminated quickly, or it will be the end of their Universes. While the Gods of Destruction were watching all this play out, Goku was fighting with Jiren, quite evenly, Toppo even jumped in and launched Ki blasts from his Fingertips towards Goku, but Goku just continued walking towards Jiren who he just blew back a few meters, while avoiding all the attacks, and deflecting the last one with the back of his right hand. Jiren and Goku continued to fight, while Vegeta came over and found Toppo trying to interfere with Goku's fight, Vegeta then sent a Ki blast towards Toppo, destroying the top half of his Pride Trooper Uniform, Toppo got angry at Vegeta, and charged towards him.

[*Sigh*... Looks like I won't be able to get an interesting fight after all]: soren

Soren continued to watch the fights happen, as a few more Universes got eliminated, and Jiren's fight with Goku ended, Goku had ran out of energy, and reverted back to his base form, Jiren then kicked Goku towards the edge of the ring, and turned to walk away. Soren had taken him to somewhere secluded, and laid his Unconscious body down on the ground, and formed a Ki sphere, and began to place it inside of Goku's body.

[Take a small rest and heal up… I'll be taking out some other Universes for a bit]: soren

[*Cough Cough*... W-wait… Don't you need energy? Why are you giving it to me?]: goku

[I have plenty, and I can absorb more faster than anyone here… Do you not want it?]: soren

[Hehe… Thank you Soren, I think I'll take a small break… Just leave that Jiren guy to me though]: goku

[I make no promises… If he attacks me, I will fight him]: soren

Soren then left Goku, there and began to take out some of the remaining Universes, and soon, the Grand Priest spoke out.

[20 Minutes remain of the Tournament of Power!... The only Universes that remain are Universes 7, 6, 12, and 9… Good luck, and give us a good fight!]: GP

Soren remembered that Universe 9 was one of the first Universes to go down, but it seems that they have changed their plan, and gone into hiding.

[I guess it's time to use my Telekinesis to pull everyone towards me… Goodbye Universe 9]: soren
