Hakaishin War Kicked Off

"It seems that I really underestimated the Seventh Universe and its mortals before. I didn't expect the mortals in their universe to reach this level. It's incredible!" Belmod said with a gloomy face. "It seems that for this competition, we will need to call Jiren back, no matter what."

"If Jiren doesn't participate, with just Toppo and Dyspo, we might really not be able to beat the Seventh Universe," he continued.

"I just wonder if Jiren will participate in such a competition? From what I know about him, he should not be willing to participate," Toppo spoke from the side. Jiren didn't have contact with any of them. He had the justice in his heart and wanted to rid the universe of all evil alone. Even if Belmod went out in person, he might not be able to convince Jiren.

"Relax! I know what's on Jiren's mind, so I'm sure I can convince him!" Belmod showed an inscrutable smile.

At this time, the Grand Priest's voice sounded again, announcing the result of the match.

"The second match was won by Trunks from the Seventh Universe. Speaking of which, is this the only mortal level in your Ninth Universe? It seems a bit too weak," the Grand Priest said lightly, glancing at the Ninth Universe.

Unexpectedly, the two matches were resolved in just one second with decisive victories. It seemed that even if they participated in the Tournament of Power, the Ninth Universe would be eliminated soon. This way, the title of the Ninth Universe as the last one was well deserved.

The Grand Priest's comment scared Hakaishin Sidra and Kaiōshin Roh from the Ninth Universe, making them tremble. Their expressions were also very dignified. Originally, they thought the Dangerous Trio of their Ninth Universe were very strong, but now it seemed the strength gap between them and the Seventh Universe was too great!

Although the boss of the Dangerous Trio, Bergamo, was very strong, compared to those from the Seventh Universe, he seemed insignificant. Now they could only pin all their hopes on the third match!

"Bergamo, you must win this match! If we lose all three matches, we will most likely be punished by Zeno-sama and Dai-Shinkan-sama," Sidra said to Bergamo firmly.

This was really embarrassing. In front of many gods, their universe lost so unbearably! In a real match, it was very likely that they would be eliminated first.

"Yes, Sidra-sama. I will do my best!" Bergamo nodded firmly.

Meanwhile, Lavander and Basil looked ashamed. Initially, they were confident, with Basil even claiming he could eliminate the three contestants from the Seventh Universe by himself. They didn't expect to be so vulnerable.

Whoosh!!

In the next second, Bergamo's body appeared in the ring, and Goten appeared opposite him almost simultaneously.

"Boy, I have to say that your Seventh Universe is really strong, and you managed to eliminate my two younger brothers! But in this match, you have absolutely no chance of winning," Bergamo said confidently to Goten. His strength was much greater than his two younger brothers, and he had a hidden skill: by absorbing his opponent's strength, his body could enlarge, and his power would increase rapidly. As long as the opponent couldn't defeat him in one fell swoop, he could grow stronger.

"Don't be too confident! I think your two brothers had the same idea, but their endings were not ideal," Goten smiled faintly. He knew Bergamo had special abilities to turn other people's attacks into his own power, but once the strength of the attack exceeded what he could bear, his ability would be ineffective.

Bergamo gritted his teeth tightly. It seemed he had to deal with this guy. Along the way, he had to challenge those two guys from earlier. Only then could they regain the pride of the Ninth Universe.

"If both of you are ready, then let's get started!" the Grand Priest's voice sounded again as he looked at the two fighters in the field.

"Wake up, brat. I won't be as careless as my two younger brothers. I will completely defeat you in an instant!" Bergamo roared angrily, then rushed forward like a husky. As he leaped high, golden light was released from his fists, concentrating all his strength on them. He carried all the hopes of the Ninth Universe, so he couldn't afford any carelessness.

"Come on, bro!!" "Come on, Bergamo!" cheered the people from the Ninth Universe, seeing such a ferocious Bergamo.

In comparison, everyone in the Seventh Universe remained much calmer. They all knew Goten's strength. The guys from the Ninth Universe couldn't even beat Krillin and Trunks, so how could they be Goten's opponents? This was a completely different level of battle.

"Get the hell out of here! Bastard of the Seventh Universe!" Bergamo roared, his fists striking at Goten like lightning. Goten turned his body slightly, easily dodging Bergamo's attack.

Ah da da da...

Bergamo wasn't discouraged. After the first attack missed, he launched another storm of attacks. But his speed was too slow. Goten only needed to move slightly to avoid all the attacks.

'Damn it!! Why are the Seventh Universe warriors so fast? I have used my speed to the extreme, but I can't touch him at all! And this guy didn't even attack, so I can't absorb his energy to become stronger,' Bergamo thought as his attacks continued to fail.

After dozens of unsuccessful attacks, Bergamo's expression became more and more serious. If this continued, he would face stamina problems, making it impossible to defeat the Seventh Universe's fighters.

As Bergamo quickly thought about how to defeat Goten, Goten's slightly lazy voice sounded, "Have you played enough? To be honest, your strength is as bad as your two younger brothers. It's a fool's dream to want to defeat me with this little power! Let me show you the gap between us."

Goten had avoided attacking earlier because he didn't want to end the matches too quickly, fearing it would displease Zeno. But the Ninth Universe fighters were too weak, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

"What??" Bergamo's expression changed instantly.

In that moment of doubt, Goten's body was already in front of him, and his clenched fist landed on Bergamo's lower abdomen.

Boom!

Pfffft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Bergamo's mouth as he flew towards the stands of the Ninth Universe like a fired shell. His body hit the stands heavily, and he lost consciousness.

"What? Defeated in an instant again? Are the mortals from the Seventh Universe monsters?" The Hakaishin of the other universes looked at each other in disbelief.

"It's unbelievable. Thy are ranked as second-to-last universe, but these guys show such great power! Even though our Second Universe is ranked higher, our mortals absolutely cannot reach this level," remarked Heles, Hakaishin from the Second Universe.

After seeing Goten easily defeat Bergamo, all the Hakaishin began to whisper again, filled with surprise and disbelief. The power displayed by those three fighters from the Seventh Universe didn't match their low ranking.

"Hoo! Another instant defeat? This match is a bit boring," the Grand Priest sighed, looking at Bergamo, who had been punched unconscious. He had expected the two universes, with similar overall mortal comprehension levels, to bring exciting battles. But he didn't expect all three matches to end so decisively. Since he hadn't enjoyed watching it, Zeno likely hadn't either.

Sure enough, just after the Grand Priest's voice fell, Zeno's voice sounded, "Hey??! Is this all over? But I didn't see anything just now, and I haven't watched it at all! Dai-Shinkan, what happened? Has the Ninth Universe been defeated?" Zeno looked at the Grand Priest with a confused expression, realizing the three small battles were already over. This kind of competition clearly couldn't satisfy his boredom.

"Yes, Zeno-sama. Although the progress of the game was relatively fast, it is indeed over! The three contestants from the Seventh Universe have all won, and they defeated their opponents in an instant," the Grand Priest nodded respectfully and replied.

"Ah! Is the overall strength of the Ninth Universe so weak? Such a weak universe, is there a need for it to exist at all?" Zeno said with some displeasure. He had wanted to watch an exciting battle but didn't expect it to end so soon. The Ninth Universe was so weak; it seemed there was really no need for them to exist, and it was troublesome to manage.

"Zeno-sama, the overall strength of the Ninth Universe is indeed very weak. But if the Ninth Universe is erased now, there will be less fun in the Tournament of Power. Why don't we follow our previous plan and punish the losing universe after the Tournament of Power is over?" the Grand Priest suggested quickly, trying to dissuade him. This was just an overview before the official match. It was just an exhibition; if the Ninth Universe was erased because of this, it would be unfair.

Everyone in the Ninth Universe, after hearing the conversation between Zeno and the Grand Priest, were trembling with fear. Unexpectedly, with just one game, Zeno-sama would consider wiping them out.

"Okay, in that case, I will listen to you, Dai-Shinkan. But I didn't enjoy watching it at all just now!" Zeno said, still a little unhappy. The game had ended too quickly, and he didn't realize what had happened. There was no fun in this kind of competition.

"Zeno-sama, since you haven't enjoyed watching it, why don't we have another game? This time, let the Hakaishin of the 12 universes fight. The gap in strength between the Hakaishin shouldn't be too big, and the battle won't end so soon. More importantly, this match can be used to examine how the strength of each universe's Hakaishin is progressing," the Grand Priest suggested.

Now, if they continued to let mortals compete, the gods would have to go to other planets to find some mortals to compete. By the time they found them, there might still be a significant gap in strength, and Zeno would not enjoy watching it much. It was better to have a fight between the Hakaishin of the 12 universes. The power gap between Hakaishin would not be so obvious, and the battle would definitely last longer, making it more enjoyable for Zeno to watch.

"Okay, okay! Dai-Shinkan, you are so smart to come up with such a good idea. In this case, let's hold another match between the Hakaishin as you suggested!" Zeno nodded immediately, agreeing to the Grand Priest's proposal. It was just in time to see how the 12 universes' Hakaishin had progressed over the years.

"What? Are you kidding me? Isn't this a match between the Ninth Universe and the Seventh Universe? Why did it become a match between the Hakaishin?" Champa's face changed suddenly upon hearing the conversation between Zeno and the Grand Priest.

The reason was simple: because private battles between gods had been banned for millions of years, he hadn't had good training, causing his body to be seriously out of shape. His strength and physical fitness had declined significantly. Competing with those like Beerus now was obviously impossible. He estimated that he might be eliminated soon, and the result of elimination could be severe punishment or even erasure!

"A battle between all the universes' Hakaishin? This way, I can finally have a good fight with that guy Beerus! This time, I have to defeat him with my own hands," Quitela looked excited, looking at Beerus with provocative eyes.

He had an arm-wrestling match with Beerus long ago and won. But because Hakaishin were not allowed to fight privately, they never decided the true outcome of who was stronger. With the acquiescence of Zeno and the Grand Priest, he could finally defeat Beerus legitimately.

"Hmph! garbage rat, don't think you can get carried away just because you won the arm-wrestling last time. In a real battle, I will easily knock you down," Beerus retaliated, seeing Quitela's provocative gaze.

Fighting wasn't only about strength but also about fighting skills. He was extremely confident in his fighting skills. Especially among the 12 Hakaishin, only he had mastered Ultra Instinct, which was a great advantage.

The other Hakaishin were less enthusiastic about fighting each other. If they lost, they might face serious punishment. Many knew their strength wasn't as good as Beerus and Quitela's. As the Hakaishin contemplated, the Grand Priest's voice sounded again.

"Hakaishin of various universes, you should have heard what Zeno-sama and I said. Zeno-sama didn't enjoy the previous competition, so next, there will be a competition between the Hakaishin. Please be sure to show all your strength in the certified battle because if you lose, you may face very severe punishment."
