Chapter 163 163 Aaron's Name Resonates Across 12 Universes
An Angel approached Whis.
"That human is the one responsible for your universe, correct?"
Whis nodded: "Yes."
"Isn't he being overly familiar with Zeno-sama and the Grand Priest? He hasn't paid proper attention to etiquette!"
"Forgive me, brother. He has assisted Zeno-sama before, so his attitude is a bit casual."
"What? Assisted Zeno-sama?"
The assembled gods couldn't help but gasp.
'What kind of person could assist Zeno-sama?!'
'This relationship was problematic!'
Instantly, all eyes were on Goku.
...
Goku and Toppo faced off.
"Hey! Who are you? Are you also a candidate God of Destruction?"
Goku shook his head: "I have no interest in being a God of Destruction. I just want to become stronger."
"No interest, huh..."
"You're a candidate God of Destruction, right? Like other gods, I can't sense your Ki, but I can at least tell you're very strong!"
"You're hiding your power too, right?"
"Hehehe..."
The Grand Priest waved his hand: "Begin!"
Goku roared, transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Golden Ki surged, instantly kicking up a fierce wind.
Goku charged at Toppo.
Beerus muttered: "Just ordinary Super Saiyan to start?"
Whis nodded: "He wants to test the opponent's strength first, I think."
Goku instantly closed in on Toppo, throwing fists and kicks: straights, hooks, roundhouse kicks, sweeps.
After this flurry, he jumped back to create distance.
"Oh dear, the gap is big."
Toppo shouted angrily: "What kind of attack is that? Don't treat me like a fool!"
However, Zeno was watching with great interest.
"Oh, Goku's feeling changed, his hair color changed!"
"Yes, Goku fights using transformations!"
"Oh, so cool!"
"He has other transformations too!"
"What? How many more?"
Zeno started counting on his fingers.
Seeing this, the Grand Priest immediately asked: "Whis, how many transformations does Goku have?"
Whis responded: "Super Saiyan 1, 2, 3, and Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue. Five in total."
Zeno was overjoyed: "Oh, five? That's a lot!"
"I want to see them all!"
Whis said: "Okay."
Then he shouted to Goku on the stage: "Mr. Goku, Zeno-sama wants to see all your transformations!"
"Alright, okay!"
Toppo, hearing Goku had five more transformations, was a bit displeased.
"You still have four more transformations?"
"Hehehehe. I wasn't planning on using them all! Since Zen-chan wants to see them, I'll show them all!"
After speaking, Goku roared. His Ki surged, electricity crackled, and his hair stood up more distinctly.
"This is Super Saiyan 2!"
Zeno was confused: "It doesn't seem much different?"
Beerus quickly reminded: "Goku, next transformation, quickly!"
Goku nodded.
He hadn't planned on using Super Saiyan 2 anyway, as it couldn't beat Toppo.
His Ki surged again, his hair lengthened, and his eyebrows disappeared.
The overwhelming Super Saiyan 3 appeared.
Zeno was startled: "Wow, Goku's face looks scary!"
"This one is fun!"
Goku stomped the ground and charged at Toppo.
But ordinary Super Saiyan transformations couldn't touch Toppo at all.
Toppo frowned: "Is this all Universe 7 has? It's about time I attacked."
Saying that, Toppo charged and punched Goku, sending him flying.
Thud!
Goku rolled a few times upon landing and wiped a non-existent trace of blood from his mouth.
"Oww, that hurt! You're big, but you're fast!"
Zeno cheered loudly: "Toppo is amazing!"
"He's strong even without transforming!"
Belmod said proudly: "Good hit, Toppo! Choose your moment and beat him!"
They continued fighting. Super Saiyan 3 Goku was losing ground.
Toppo urged: "Quickly, next transformation. Don't waste time."
Goku said: "No choice. I'll transform then. From the next transformation onward, the level is completely different. It might end in one shot."
After speaking, Goku roared.
His body was engulfed in red Ki. His hair, eyebrows, and pupils turned red, becaming simple and divine.
The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais of the various universes were stunned.
Heles: "Th-this isn't the Ki of a god?"
Toppo started to take it seriously too.
"You finally show the Ki of a god. Then I will too..."
The two clashed again.
Toppo was very strong, but Goku was agile with his techniques, and for a while, they exchanged blows evenly.
Beerus said: "Having transformed into Super Saiyan God, he can finally hold his own."
"Oh oh, so strong!"
"Both are amazing!"
Seeing the fight, Beerus, realizing the timing was right, quickly reminded: "Goku, that's enough. Quickly transform into Super Saiyan Blue and decide the winner!"
"Understood, Beerus-sama!"
Goku turned to Toppo and said: "Fighting you is fun, Toppo. Let's fight again in the official tournament."
The next second, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan Blue.
He threw a heavy punch at Toppo. But Toppo dodged and, countering, kicked Goku high into the sky.
When he landed, he was already outside the ring.
Beerus and Shin were shocked.
"He lost?"
The Grand Priest announced: "Goku is out of bounds. The winner is Toppo."
The clown God of Destruction showed a satisfied smile.
Toppo walked up to Goku and said: "Don't be careless in the official match. I'm only the second strongest in our Universe 11!"
Goku was shocked.
"You're not the strongest in your universe?"
Toppo shook his head: "Our universe's strongest is Jiren. In terms of fighting power alone, he surpasses Belmod-sama, our God of Destruction."
Goku was shocked again.
"Surpasses... the God of Destruction... I thought the candidate God of Destruction was the strongest!"
"Correct. His name is Jiren. Like you, he has no interest in being a God of Destruction."
Jiren was known across all 12 universes.
He was undoubtedly the strongest being in the 12 universes.
Goku nodded: "But I'm not the strongest in our universe either. Our universe's strongest is Aaron. His power should be no less than Jiren's."
"He's also not interested in being a God of Destruction. He's not even very interested in getting stronger..."
"Not interested in getting stronger? And he's still the strongest? Stronger than Jiren?"
Toppo didn't believe it.
Not only Toppo, but all the Gods of Destruction present shook their heads.
"Don't be ridiculous. Jiren's power surpassing a God of Destruction is well-known."
"Who is this Aaron? How could he be stronger than Jiren? What kind of training does he do?"
Goku scratched his chin and said: "Him? He doesn't train much. He just constantly gets married, has children... but he can still..."
Aaron could fight fused Zamasu alone, with nearly unlimited stamina.
Goku knew Aaron's true strength very well.
From the fight with Toppo just now, he could also gauge Aaron's terror.
After all, in Super Saiyan 2, he couldn't even touch Toppo.
And even Super Saiyan Blue couldn't beat him.
But Aaron, just in Super Saiyan 2, could actually fight fused Zamasu, who could defeat Goku in one round.
His strength was truly unfathomable.
Maybe not as strong as Beerus, but probably not far off either.
Although he hadn't seen Jiren, Goku felt it was highly unlikely he could surpass Beerus.
Aaron had never lost... he would likely have no problem winning against Jiren.
Goku wanted to defend him a bit, to tell the story of the fight with Zamasu.
But suddenly remembering that time travel was a serious crime, he stopped and shut his mouth.
He ended up focusing on the marriage and children part.
Hearing that, the whole audience burst into laughter.
"Pfft... Hahahaha..."
'Get married and have children?'
'How could that be something to mention on stage?'
Hearing Aaron's name from Universe 7, Zeno also remembered him.
Basically, Goku lost one match, Vegeta had one win and one loss, and then Aaron won against four.
The match is very exciting.
He shouted: "Oh, right, Aaron. I remember him. He's also a Saiyan. He fought four others alone. He was indeed very strong. The fight was very exciting! Goku, you must have him participate!"
Goku shouted back: "Don't worry, he will definitely participate!"
Hearing that Zeno knew of this Aaron, the Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, and even the Angels became curious.
Heles: "This guy must be a player!"
Belmod: "Hearing this, that Aaron really knows how to enjoy life, hehehe."
Quitela: "That guy can reproduce even more than our clan?"
Arak: "Spending all day immersed in marriage and children, how strong can he be? Ridiculous."
Liquiir: "Maybe it's all an illusion."
Sidra: "No way? Can you talk about such things at a gathering like this? Isn't this off-topic?"
Rumsshi thought: 'Is this the guy who defeated fused Zamasu?'
Vados giggled: "Getting married and having children, giggle... Why do I feel Aaron is being described in such a bad light..."
Marcarita: "I really want to see what this guy looks like, giggle..."
Beerus was sweating: "Goku, stop talking!"
"Talk any more... and Universe 7 will become a laughingstock."
Whis: "Is the impression changeable even if he doesn't talk?"
Beerus: "..."
