Goku

"Nah, there is no way that somebody here is stronger than Jiren." The God of Destruction, who was dressed as a rip-off version of Pennywise, refused to believe that Alex could injure Jiren even a bit.

The Angel from universe 11 kept observing Alex. This was a huge miscalculation on her part, and on everybody else as well. No one would have thought that such a powerful team would appear in universe 9, the weakest universe now.

Goku just scratched his head. Did by any chance Toppo lie to him about Jiren being the strongest? But his gut had told him from the beginning that Jiren is not a weakling.

Jiren looked at Alex as if he was looking at his soul. From Alex's punches alone, Jiren deemed that Alex was stronger than a God of Destruction.

He did not seem worried. In fact he displayed any signs of emotions except pain and a hint of shock.

Instead of attacking, Alex shook his head as if he was disappointed. He turned his back and began walking away.

"What a let down, Jiren. And here I thought that you would be a worthy opponent."

Alex waved goodbye without looking back.

Everyone was just staring unable to say anything. Was all that climax just for nothing?

And so, Jiren began attacking Alex by shooting powerful energy blasts at Alex. He did not seem pissed that Alex called him 'weak' because he knew that emotions get in the way of fighting.

Alex smiled and dodged his attacks without even looking back.

"I see you have chosen death."

Jiren jumped at Alex leaving a deep hole on the ground from the force of his jump alone.

'Flaws.' Alex muttered. All of Jiren's flaws were now recorded in his Hell's Library path.

Jiren and Alex began exchanging clashes that shook the entire tournament. It started with both sides being equal in terms of power.

Then Alex began using only one hand to block all of Jiren's attacks. And finally only ended using only 1 finger.

Jiren was starting to get pissed just a tiny bit. He started wasting much more stamina than before. Right now he cannot afford to conserve his stamina when fighting Alex, he needs to go all out.

An incredible heat surged from Jiren's body and everyone, even on the sidelines started to sweat.

"Man, it's hot." Krillin wiped off the sweat from his forehead, which made it shiny like a bowling ball.

"It's unbelievable that one individual can produce this much power and heat." Tien added.

Roshi was still under Eggy's commandment so therefore he could not add a single comment.

Vegeta and many others were carefully watching their fight. He wondered if he could take on Jiren with Super Saiyan Blue.

The rest of the Commandments were also carefully observing Jiren and Alex.

"Hm… compared to Saitama, Jiren is a bit lacking." Linlin said.

"Do you guys think any of you could handle Jiren by yourselfs?" Eggy asked.

"You wouldn't, but I could." Madara said but it only made Eggy mad.

"Please, don't go spouting off such baseless lies." Meruem said which made some of them chuckle.

Garou was just observing Jiren's techniques. He wondered if he could copy him, but he was too fast for him to see.

"Meruem, I believe you've trained with Alex for many years, right?" Mihawk asked.

"So what if I did?"

"Tell me this, what is his strongest form like? I am very curious to know."

Many of their ears perked up. Even the sleeping Steven opened one eye. None of them know Alex's full power. And after getting that HUGE power-up from fighting Saitama, they wanted to know even more.

Meruem had trained with Alex when he used Ultra Instinct. That meant that Alex at one time had tested out all of his transformation, that included Super Saiyans and his Hollow forms and others. He was the only one out of all of them who knew Alex's strongest form.

"From what I can remember, Alex has many transformation or power ups. Amongst one of his strongest transformations, is something called 'mastered ultra instinct.' I believe that transformation is something that not even the Gods of this world could achieve."

Many of them knew that already.

"But, that transformation is only his second strongest. His first strongest is…" Mereum wanted to say but hesitated.

"Is what?" Eggy asked.

"I believe that it would be wiser if he were to show you in person. Honestly, words could not describe his insanely powerful form, and that was BEFORE he gained this power."

They could not help but be shocked. Just how powerful is Alex currently?

"JIREN!!! YOU BETTER NOT LOSE! YOU HEAR ME?!" The God of Destruction from universe 11 yelled which interrupted everyone's train of thought. He could see that Jiren was going all out and that wasn't a smart move at all.

"Not bad, Jiren. I am starting to feel something."

Even after Jiren used a bit more strength, Alex only needed one arm to block Jiren's attacks instead of a finger.

Jiren's movements began getting stronger, sharper, faster. The force of his attacks even accidentally made some holes on the ground.

Whis was still observing Alex closely. From what he could see, he could tell that Alex wasn't even trying at all.

Whis already could tell that Jiren was more powerful than Goku when using Super Saiyan Blue Kai-o ken x20.

And yet, Alex was in his base form and did not take Jiren seriously.

"Beerus-sama."

"Yeah, I can tell." Beerus somehow knew that Whis was gonna say to him.

"It seems that neither Goku or Vegeta have any chance against Jiren or Alexander Anderson. It would be wise if they did not interfere, or if you did 'that' before it is too late."

"That thing… What thing?"

"The Potara earrings. Let Goku and Vegeta fuse into one."

"Can we even use those?"

"Knowing Zeno-sama's character, I would say that there is a high chance that he will let it slide. But there is the slight problem that it could cost us our two strongest warriors. But I believe the biggest obstacle is getting Vegeta and Goku to agree to fuse."

Beerus thought about it. Either they use the Potara earrings or they can hope for a miracle to happen. Both options were too risky.

Jiren's heat became noticeably hotter by the minute. At that point, Alex was just getting bored.

"You call that heat? I'll show you heat."

Alex focused his fire ability, Sunshine, into his fists. He knocked Jiren back and even the clothing area around his chest was singed.

This move baffled everyone once again. Where did Alex manage to use fire like that? Is what they all thought.

"Jiren!" Toppo reacted first and came to aid Jiren. His chest was burned but it wasn't fatal.

"What kind of ability is that?" Toppo only saw a pair of bright and hot lights appear on Alex's fists for a second, next thing they knew Jiren was pushed back and got burned.

Alex produced an incredible amount of heat that made Jiren's heat feel chilly in comparison. Since he could not use his Zanpakuto, he had to use his Sunshine differently. In fact, he had used this technique when he fought Saitama in Purgatory.

"Praise the sun!" With a smile, Alex launched at Jiren and Toppo a giant ball of heat equivalent to the heat of the sun's. The size could be compared to Goku's spirit bomb. It was like a miniature sun was headed towards them.

The arena beneath them started to melt like candle wax.

"Oi, this heat isn't something any mortal can survive." Beerus said.

Whis and the others continued to watch to see how this turns out. It's not uncommon for some people to learn fire techniques, but not to the extent that it can compare to a sun.

"JIREN!!! YOU BETTER NOT LOSE!!!" The God of Destruction from universe 11 commanded loudly.

Toppo wanted to help, but was pushed back by Jiren. He never viewed Toppo as a real comrade, and did not see him as an equal. Jiren thought that Toppo would only make trouble for him if he were to let him help him, which is why he kicked him away.

Jiren used his gaze to push back Alex's sun not backing down in the slightest.

The sun seemed to have stopped right in the middle of Alex and Jiren. Everyone felt two powerful forces trying to push each other back with their power.

"You are strong Jiren." Alex said, "But, I am still many levels above you."

Alex extended his arm to the sun, and the sun started getting closer to Jiren.

Jiren started to sweat, it was unknown if it was because of the heat of the sun, or because he was using too much stamina to push back Alex's sun.

Jiren used both his arms to push back the sun, literally giving it his all. He gritted his teeth from the amount of power that he put trying to push back the mini sun.

Alex was surprised to see his mini sun was being pushed back. He chuckled just a bit.

"Now this is starting to feel like a warm up. So long, Jiren."

Alex used 100% of his power in base form. Now Jiren was in trouble as the mini sun got closer to him.

Jiren was being pushed back even when he gave it his all.

Unknown to them, someone else was there to ruin the mood.

Freeza was pointing at Alex's back while he wasn't on guard. It was the perfect moment to get rid of Alex.

There was no way that Freeza ever thought of going against either Jiren or Alex. Both of them were too powerful. So why not eliminate them when he has the chance?

The second that Alex gets rid of Jiren, Freeza will deliver the blow to defeat Alex.

"So long, monkey." Freeza chuckled sinisterly as he got ready to fire at Alex.

Then, he felt a tail wrap around his neck and started choking him.

"What?!" Freeza could not breath. He tried his best to pull away from whatever was strangling him, but failed.

"Sleep."

It was Meruem who was choking Freeza with his tail. He had noticed Freeza since the beginning. Freeza had been planning before to take down Meruem, but never had the chance to do so.

Meruem of course knew and had been keeping an eye on him. Who would have known that Freeza would have used a sneak attack on Alex.

Alex finally noticed what had happened and smiled. He ignored Freeza and let Meruem deal with him instead.

"LET GO!!!" Freeza used his tail to attack Meruem, but Meruem grabbed Freeza's tail and bit it off.

"OOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!" Freeza let out a terrible screech of pain. Many who were paying attention, gasped at what had happened.

They saw Freeza's severed tail bleeding blue blood. Part of Freeza's tail was on Meruem's mouth being munched like a sandwich.

"Disgusting." Meruem did not like the taste and threw it away.

Despite all of that happening, Freeza was still being choked by Meruem's tail.

"What a repulsive act."

"Demon."

"Gross."

Many rude comments were directed at Meruem. They had seen no one who would actually eat others as if it were nothing.

Since Meruem had not broken any rules, no one could do a thing.

"That looks yummy."

"Very yummy indeed."

Both Zeno's actually liked Meruem's actions and even wanted to do it themselves. The High Priest did not say anything nor did the Angels. Then again, they were going to erase 7 universes, filled with countless planets and lives. Compared to them, Meruem was a Saint.

Meruem was still choking Freeza with his tail, and no one was doing anything about it.

But, Freeza could not contain his anger anymore.

*Boom*

Freeza successfully transformed into his golden form. Meruem could only be pushed back by the sudden explosive power.

Freeza was fuming with rage and hatred. His anger was fueled when he saw the state of his tail, which only half remained.

Meruem wiped the blood away from his mouth. He only ate Freeza's tail because he was curious if Freeza's kind was delicious. He was wrong.

"I WILL MOUNT YOUR HEAD WHERE MY TAIL USED TO BE!!!" Freeza attacked Meruem with the intention to kill him, completely ignoring the rules.

Krillin could not help but shudder. He too took away Freeza's tail in Namek, and was killed on the same day.

While that happened, Alex and Jiren were still on a clash of power.

"This is surprisingly taking so long. I'm going to end this right now." Alex added.

He transformed into Super Saiyan 1, and the sudden increase of power made the mini sun push back Jiren and burn him.

With Jiren's high leveled defense, he could survive the power of a mini sun, but the problem was that it was costing him too much stamina to not be pushed off the stage.

"JIREN! YOU BETTER NOT LOSE!" The God of Destruction from universe 11 ordered loudly. He started to act like a broken record.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Jiren let out a powerful scream, and the sun was no longer pushing him back. Now he was in total control of it. His hands were still burning but he planned on throwing it back as Alex.

"That's it. We knew you could do it." The members from universe 11 said. They knew Jiren wasn't going down that easy.

But Alex clenched his hand at the moment, and the sun that was on Jiren's hand exploded causing the whole arena to tremble.

Dust covered the entire area where Jiren was standing. When the dust settled, they saw no one standing there.

Many thought that Jiren literally blew up into pieces, as that was the only logical conclusion.

But that thought was replaced by what they saw next.

They saw a man in an orange gi, with spiky black hair, holding Jiren with one hand. Jiren's clothing and skin were badly burned, but he looked very much alive.

"Okay… I did not expect that." Alex added. He thought someone from Jiren's team would help him, not Goku.

"You cannot kill him!" Goku said in a serious tone, and he pointed at Alex.

"If you were to kill him, then I won't have the chance to fight any of you two."

Alex chuckled. He was never going to kill Jiren. That explosion from the sun would have only been able to push back Jiren with some injuries and burns, but it wouldn't have been able to kill him.

Jiren finally noticed, and jumped back far away to gain some distance.

When the sun exploded, Jiren was indeed going to be knocked out of the stage. But at the last second, Goku reacted quick by using instant transmission and catching him.

Jiren's plan was to diminish the sun in size and return it back to Alex, it wouldn't be the first time he had done it. But he did not expect the mini sun to carry such an explosive power.

Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were happy by how the events unfolded.

Beerus was in fact the one who is most angered by Goku's actions. He even clenched his nails deep into his hands, which started to bleed, but were healed very quickly.

"GOKU!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!?!" Beerus's shout was loud enough to leave some of the competitors deaf momentarily.

"What's wrong?" Goku was confused by Beerus's anger.

Alex could understand why Beerus was angry. Their lives were at stake, and Goku is helping the enemies, and Jiren on top of that.

Then again, the Goku from Dragon Ball Super isn't as smart as Dragon Ball Z.

Beerus was fuming with rage that he could not even speak at all. His anger was fueled when Goku acted confused, as if he had no idea what he had done.

"Sigh… it's been nice knowing you, Beerus-sama." Whis said dejectedly. He did enjoy being Beerus's servant, and enjoyed the food most of all.

"I swear if we leave this alive, I will destroy him." Beerus uttered to himself as he gritted his teeth.

Even the members from Goku's team felt the same way. He just had to help Jiren, who is a threat to all of them.

"Dad… think what will happen to Mom, Videl, Pan, and Gotenks if we don't manage to win." Gohan said a bit upset.

"Anyways… What was your name again?' Goku ignored his son and focused on Alex. Since they were limited on time, Goku had to fight to his heart's content for as long as he can. What Goku doesn't know is that he could be in the tournament for years, and only a minute would have passed, because of anime-time logic.

"Just let it go." Piccolo grabbed Gohan's shoulder softly and gently pulled him away.

Alex did not know what to think. But one thing was for sure is that they were going to fight.

Jiren was currently levitating, as he meditated in a lotus position. Not much is known about his ability to meditate, but it can help him regain his stamina and possibly heal him.

"Well he isn't much of a threat to me, so who cares about Jiren? Anyways, Goku, my name is Alexander Anderson as you had already forgotten."

Alex got close enough to Goku until he was an arm's length. It was like the time when Alex got closer to Jiren, but with Goku this time.

"This is going to be fun. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Goku let out a loud scream. His hair turned blue and his aura as well, with some red on top of it.

"You've shown me how strong you were. Now it is my turn." Goku launched himself at Alex and landed a punch on his face. Alex did not move an inch, and was hardly even fazed by Goku's punch.

It's not like Alex let Goku hit him, it's just that his mind was thinking of something else completely.

'Man, what am I going to do after this tournament? I know that the Commandments will be disbanded, and this is our last time together, and just when I finally recruited 10 members, sigh… oh well, easy come easy go. And when I have kids, I wonder if I should get a job to support my family. But what kind of job should I take? Assassination? Teacher? Assasination teacher, like Koro-sensei? Fighter? Gang leader? Then again, I need to set a good example for my kids… eh I'll think of something… hm?'

"AYAYAYAYAYAY!!!" Goku kept raining down a barrage of attacks on Alex.

Alex was too busy thinking about the future that he failed to notice Goku was hitting him like a punching bag. His attacks felt more like massages than actual punches.

"Man, today is nothing but disappointing. My hopes for this tournament were high, and I regret it." It's just like Seven Deadly Sins season 3, the expectations were too high and many were disappointed like never before.

Alex aimed to kick Goku on the face, but Goku reacted and moved. Sadly for him, Alex's kick went lower and it made contact with his dick. Goku felt such a great amount of pain that no man should ever feel.

That kick did manage to sent Goku crash into Vegeta, who got ahold of him.

"He kicked… me in the dick… why did he kick me in the dick?" His voice was high pitched and sounded like he was in extreme pain.

"..." Vegeta.

Alex was not sorry at all. That is what he gets for forgetting his name.

********************************

Sorry for the wait, I do not have any excuses for the late chapters recently. I have already planned my next novel, and have done a lot of research to make it as awesome as this fanfic.

And also, some have asked me why I can't just keep continuing with this fanfic? The question is simple, because I do not want to drag it out. I want it to have a good ending instead of it never having an ending, like MGA, Spongebob Squarepants, The Simpsons, and so on.

I want to have an ending like Assassination Classroom, it's the perfect anime in my opinion, and that is what I am headed for in this story, but not as sad though.

Then again, my name is DemonGodHIATUS. My name alone should explain why the latest chapters are so late.

Thanks for being so patient my fellow readers. And continue supporting this story and the many other stories that I have yet to write in the near future.
