This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

"How can this be..."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Jiren at that moment, all the women of Yuujin instinctively stepped back in shock, and even Yuujin's face looked extremely grim.

Just when they were about to seize victory, Jiren suddenly erupted with his potential at the last moment, becoming even stronger than before.

Damn it!!!

"Jiren—Jiren actually got even stronger!"

"This is bad! Those guys from Universe 13 are finished!"

A horrifying aura engulfed not just the entire arena but the whole Null Realm. All the contestants were in disbelief, even Son Goku and Vegeta were shaken to their core.

Jiren was already terrifying enough—now he's become even more fearsome!

What the hell were those fools from Universe 13 doing!!!

"Hahahaha!!!"

"Jiren, you truly are the strongest!"

"Defeat them! Crush those guys from Universe 13—now, you're more than capable of doing it!"

God of Destruction Belmod burst into loud laughter. Just a moment ago, he had actually thought they were going to lose.

Thank you, you idiots from Universe 13.

Thank you for pushing Jiren to become even stronger.

This time, Universe 11 is guaranteed to win the Tournament of Power!

"Hey, Whis, what the hell is going on with that guy?"

In Universe 7's camp, Beerus clenched his fists, staring hard at Jiren on the arena.

"It seems the contestants from Universe 13 triggered some traumatic memories within Jiren's heart, which allowed him to break through his limits and unleash hidden power."

"This is bad—for Universe 13 and for the rest of us."

Whis sighed heavily, speaking in a serious tone.

In this Tournament of Power, it's not unusual for contestants to break their limits and grow stronger—but this case was different.

Out of everyone, it just had to be Jiren, this monstrous being.

He was already terrifying before. Now that he's awakened his potential and become even stronger, there may truly be no one left who can stop him!

Even Beerus and the others aside—just looking at Jiren now, even Whis, an Angel, felt deep fear.

Unbelievable—a mortal has grown to such an absurd level of power!

"Strength is justice! Strength is absolute!"

"Universe 13, prepare yourselves."

Completely different from before, Jiren now radiated a cold and merciless aura.

"Hmph, so what if you've gotten a bit stronger?"

"We beat you once, and we can beat you again!"

"Everyone—!"

Yuujin gave a cold snort and spoke with resolve. But just as he was about to rally his allies for another assault, Jiren suddenly flashed in front of him.

A massive punch cut through the air—Yuujin looked down to see Jiren's fist embedded in his chest. A mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth.

"Yuujin!!!"

The women and Gokumi were stunned. Then one by one, they were engulfed in an overwhelming fury and launched fierce attacks at Jiren.

But Jiren again flashed through them, launching attacks on each of them in turn.

"Ahhhh..."

With just one strike each, Jiren brought down Yuujin and the girls, all coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground!

But it wasn't over yet—Jiren then appeared in mid-air, conjured a colossal energy sphere nearly a hundred meters wide, and hurled it down at Yuujin and the women on the stage.

The giant energy ball was blood-red like a blazing sun. Though its descent was slow, Yuujin and the women, all gravely injured, could only stare in horror—unable to dodge it.

"Damn it!!!"

In Yuujin's furious, unwilling roar, the massive energy ball finally slammed down, swallowing and burying him and the girls beneath it.

And in the next moment—

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A deafening explosion shook the heavens as waves of fire swept outward in all directions. Contestants from every universe cried out, fleeing in panic—even the gods in the spectator stands were forced to raise barriers to protect themselves from the blast.

"Ahh... ahhhh..."

The chaotic scene continued for a long while. When it finally settled down, everyone wore a look of sheer horror.

Two massive craters had appeared on the arena—one left behind from when Goku used the Spirit Bomb, the other caused by Jiren's latest strike.

And Jiren's crater… was even bigger than the one left by the Spirit Bomb!

Shock. Fear. Disbelief…

A storm of complex emotions overwhelmed the crowd. Even the lofty gods couldn't help but feel a growing fear as they looked upon the lone figure standing proudly amidst the devastation.

Gods… actually feeling fear toward a mortal.

A ridiculous concept.

And yet—it happened!

"Grand Priest-sama, he killed them!"

"That's a foul! This is a clear violation!"

Looking at Yuujin and the women lying amidst the rubble, Champa was the first to snap out of it, shouting in agitation. The others from all the universes shuddered.

Jiren was now impossible to defeat. If he committed a foul and got disqualified, wouldn't that give the other universes a chance to win?

But before any of the universes could rejoice—

The Grand Priest, standing atop the floating platform, poured cold water over their hopes—

"Though their energy is faint, the Universe 13 contestants are still alive, so contestant Jiren will not be penalized."

The Grand Priest said with a smile, and the flicker of hope that had just sparked in everyone's hearts was instantly extinguished. Universe 6's God of Destruction, Champa, clutched his head in utter despair.

"It's over. All of our universes are doomed now..."

"Ara ara, Lord Champa, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Doesn't our Universe 6 still have a few contestants left on the field? Maybe a miracle will happen~"

Vados tried to console him, but it didn't help Champa in the slightest.

A miracle? At this point, what miracle could possibly happen?

Even those freaks from Universe 13 were defeated. Now, there was no one left who could defeat that monster Jiren!

What hope did Universe 6 have of winning? Relying on that scrawny stick Cabba? Or those two little girls, Caulifla and Kale?

It's over.

This time, they're truly finished...

And it wasn't just Champa—everyone else from the other universes had fallen into despair and gloom.

As long as that monster Jiren remained, none of them could see any hope of victory.

But unlike the other universes wallowing in despair, Universe 11 was bursting with joy—

"Looks like this victory was destined to be ours, Universe 11."

"Of course—there's no one left who can challenge Jiren."

"The other universes have completely lost their fighting spirit. Turns out defeating Universe 13 was even more effective than beating Son Goku!"

"Well, Universe 13 did give us all a scare. Even I almost thought we were going to lose."

"But in the end, the victory still belongs to Universe 11!"
