Chapter 168 168 No.21 Plays Matchmaker For Aaron
The Null Realm.
Tournament of Power stage.
"Wow, this is the competition's venue? It's huge..."
Vegeta: "Knocked out of bounds counts as a loss. As long as we stay conscious, we can all fly. It should be hard to fall out, right?"
Whis retorted: "Flying is probably impossible."
"Why?"
"Try it."
Goku tried and indeed could not fly.
Whis said: "Since being knocked off the stage counts as a loss, it's reasonable that Bukujutsu is prohibited."
No.18: "Hubby guessed right. We really can't fly."
"This is a bit disorienting."
Just as they were chatting, a white light flashed beside them.
Universe 6 arrived too.
Champa panted, wiping sweat from his brow: "Almost late..."
Beerus smiled: "Looks like you had a hard time gathering ten people."
"None of your business. We managed," Champa said proudly.
Vados covered her mouth and giggled: "Still couldn't find any real strong fighters. Just picked two random passersby from a planet, giggle..."
Champa shouted angrily: "Vados, whose side are you on?"
"Oh dear, oh dear, Champa-sama, I said you selected true elites..."
"Hmph!"
Frieza saw Frost and was stunned.
Frieza asked: "We look very similar. Do you also like to dominate others with power?"
"Yes, of course."
"It seems we'll get along."
"Seems you're the senior here."
Frieza patted Frost's shoulder and asked: "How about it? Want to team up with me?"
"Of course."
…
As soon as she arrived at the tournament venue, No.21 started looking around.
Regarding winning the tournament… with Aaron around, that was a foregone conclusion.
She had also told them about the Super Dragon Balls wish. It was mostly a test... they had to revive all universes.
Otherwise, they would all die.
So she might as well use this opportunity to get some extra benefits, like finding Aaron a couple of new wives.
From the tournament with Universe 6, she had brought back two girls.
From fighting the other seven universes, why not bring back eight or ten?
However, scanning around, she found there are many were strange-looking creatures.
There were two Angels that caught her eye, but they were untouchable.
As for contestants, there were hardly any pretty girls.
Just then, a group of women in outlandish costumes landed on the stage.
It was Universe 2.
'Hubby was already very strong. He could now beat Champa. I could probably play matchmaker at the God of Destruction level.'
From yesterday's briefing, she also knew Universe 2 had many girls, though their aesthetic was strange.
The image of the God of Destruction with a Cleopatra-like look was already in No.21's mind.
Seeing Heles, No.21's eyes lit up. She immediately ran over.
'She's the one.'
No.21 looked at Heles and asked: "You must be Heles-sama, the God of Destruction of Universe 2, right?"
"Hmm? You know me?"
No.21 shook her head: "No. But Hubby said the most beautiful one in the whole venue is Heles-sama, the God of Destruction of Universe 2."
Heles was startled, then shyly touched her cheek.
"Oh, is that so? It seems my beauty has spread across all 12 universes, giggle."
Ribrianne asked: "Which universe are you from? What are you doing here?"
No.21 introduced herself: "I'm from Universe 7. I'm here to do some business for Hubby."
Heles was stunned: "Universe 7? Who is your husband?"
"Aaron!"
Heles was blank for a moment.
'Seemed vaguely familiar. Who was it again?'
'Oh, right. He was that guy mentioned by Universe 7's Son Goku.'
Heles tested the waters with a twitching mouth: "The one Goku said likes to get married and have children? The one who bragged he could beat Jiren?"
No.21 was a bit surprised: "What? Goku said that? I'll punch him later!"
Heles smiled: "Hehe, although his reputation isn't great, your husband has good taste. And he might be able to beat Jiren. Is your husband very strong?"
"Of course. He just beat a God of Destruction two days ago."
No.21 knew women's minds. Being a sycophant, no one cares.
But if a man is talked up as amazing, women get interested.
Women love strong men. It's nature.
The girls of Universe 2 all had their pupils contract.
"Really? He can beat a God of Destruction?"
'Are you bragging this much? Does your husband know?'
They all looked unconvinced.
No.21 nodded: "Of course it's true. It's Champa-sama of Universe 6."
Everyone was stunned.
'Being so specific, could it be true?'
Heles became even more interested.
"Then what are you here to do? We are competitors, you know."
"If your husband is too big a threat, when the fight starts, we might just focus on your universe."
No.21 said calmly: "Hubby said that Universe 2 is a beautiful and loving universe. It would be a shame to erase it... If our universe accidentally wins, we will definitely use the Super Dragon Balls to revive Universe 2."
Their expressions became strange.
Heles asked with a stiff smile: "Which one is your husband?"
No.21 leaned close to Heles and guided her to point at Aaron.
"See? That's Hubby."
They all looked towards Universe 7.
Ribrianne frowned: "What's this? None of them are handsome, are they?"
"Exactly!"
Heles had a different aesthetic. Following No.21's finger with a glance, her eyes flickered slightly.
'Pale face, with distinct, cool handsome features. Dark, deep eyes shimmering with a charming hue.'
'Thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, perfect lip shape… all exuding nobility and elegance.'
'Who would have thought Universe 7 had such a handsome man!'
'This woman herself was good-looking, with a nice figure, but her aesthetic diverged from Ribrianne's.'
'Matching that handsome young man seemed perfectly reasonable.'
'However, I could do better.'
Ribrianne clearly didn't appreciate Aaron's appearance.
She sighed slightly and said with some disdain: "Your universe, whether bodies or faces, is quite ugly. I don't think you'll win."
Heles turned her head and said to No.21: "Although it might not happen, I wish you success. So, what's the condition for reviving our universe?"
No.21 smiled: "What conditions could there be?"
"Huh? None?"
'Was she just here to show goodwill?'
No.21 continued: "If we are fortunate enough to win the tournament, we will revive Universe 2. Hubby would like to invite Heles for a small drink. Would Heles do us the honor?"
'Hehe, so infatuated with me?'
'Then I have to gladly accept.'
'No, better be a little reserved.'
Beautiful women, especially those who love beauty, enjoy being pursued.
Heles said: "Thank you for your kindness. Let's talk about it after you win!"
"Our universe is also quite likely to win. But, considering how discerning you are, maybe if we win, we'll revive your universe. Giggle..."
No.21 said respectfully: "I look forward to meeting you again."
After speaking, No.21 returned.
Ribrianne was a bit dissatisfied: "Heles-sama, our universe could also win!"
Heles said reproachfully: "Ribrianne, watch your words. Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy."
Heles picked up her mirror and adjusted her makeup.
…
Goku tried to greet Universe 11 but came back with a cold shoulder.
A short while later, the Grand Priest appeared.
The two small Zenos sat on their thrones, the two guards flanking them.
The two Zenos greeted everyone: "Hello!"
"Nice to meet you!"
"That's Zeno-sama?"
"So small?"
"And there are two of them."
The Grand Priest announced: "The competition will begin now. Please have those who are not contestants go to the stands."
Beerus looked at his universe's contestants and all the top fighters from other universes and felt some concern.
"You all know what's at stake, right?"
"No matter what happens, if we don't win, we will disappear. So give it your all and be cautious!"
Shin said: "Please work together."
Goku: "We'll do our best. Please watch us from above."
"Good luck."
After speaking, Beerus, Shin, and Whis went to the stands.
All universes were ready and returned to their respective stands.
The Grand Priest announced: "Let me explain the rules again. The match time is 100 Takks. The pillar in the center of the stage will descend over time. When the pillar is level with the ground, the match ends."
"Weapons other than techniques are prohibited. Killing is prohibited. The way to win is to knock your opponent off the stage. Falling contestants will be automatically teleported to the stands. Please don't worry."
"Is everyone ready?"
Responses came from all sides.
"Ready!"
"Then, the Tournament of Power... begin!"
Instantly, the Universe 7's team scattered.
Kale and Caulifla went together to find easy targets.
No.18 and No.21 did the same.
Vegeta and Goku vanished in an instant.
No.17, without a word, targeted a more human-looking boxer and charged.
Alice and Aaron stood together, not moving.
"Dad, who do we fight first?"
Aaron slapped his forehead: "I forgot to include you in the meeting. First, protect yourself. Don't think about fighting others. If you encounter weak ones, fight slowly. If you encounter strong ones, run. Save your energy."
"You should save your strength for the key players."
"Okay, got it."
