Chapter 171 This Man is Extraordinary Fierce And Durable
The Supreme Kai of Universe 9 was traumatized and shouted hoarsely: "Zeno-sama..."
The two Zenos raised their hands high. Dazzling white light shone, illuminating the entire Tournament of Power.
They clenched their fists, and apart from the Angel, everything from Universe 9 faded away.
Beerus broke out in a cold sweat: "Gone?"
He turned to Whis: "Whis, what happened to Universe 9?"
Whis looked at his staff: "Oh dear, oh dear. Completely gone. Not even a trace."
"To actually erase Universe 9..."
On Universe 9's stands, only a single Angel remained, isolated.
The audience and the warriors on the stage were all stunned.
The destruction of Universe 9 made them reassess their own situation.
Loss means destruction.
And Universe 9's destruction was largely attributable to one person: Aaron.
More warriors and spectators turned their attention to Aaron.
Heles's pupils shook: "Could it be that No.21 wasn't exaggerating? Does he really have that kind of power?"
Champa was sweating with fear.
"Zeno-sama actually erased a universe..."
Vados's gaze was fixed, looking at Aaron absently.
"As expected of someone who could defeat Champa-sama, taking out an entire universe in an instant."
The clown God of Destruction, Belmod, his gaze flickered: "They were all weaklings. Although he's strong, he's still far inferior to Jiren. Moreover, using that much energy, he shouldn't have much left. Jiren will surely win. Our universe will be the ultimate victor."
Marcarita looked at Aaron's face, lost in thought for a moment.
'That man is handsome. His energy waves were like fireworks... so beautiful...'
Jiren glanced at Aaron and then closed his eyes again.
Goku stared firmly at the sky, his thoughts unknown.
"This is the second time I've witnessed a universe's destruction. If Zen-chan decides to erase something, it disappears. So we have to beat everyone else and stay on stage until the end."
Vegeta: "The one who lasts until the end and gets the Super Dragon Balls will be me, Vegeta!"
The Angel of Universe 9 sighed: "Ah, it seems I, responsible for Universe 9, will be the first to retire. Well, it should be so."
The Supreme Kai of Universe 1 said: "The destruction of Universe 9 was a necessary sacrifice. Originally, there was no room for negotiation. They could only be erased by Zeno. Thanks to Goku, they had a chance to survive. But since they lost, to maintain the standard of all universes, they must disappear."
"That is the purpose of this Tournament of Power."
Shin broke out in a cold sweat: "I can no longer feel the Ki of Supreme Kai Roh, nor God of Destruction Sidra..."
Whis said: "Of course. Disappearance means turning into nothing. Not even in the afterlife. Universe 9 doesn't even have an afterlife anymore."
Elder Kai sighed: "Zeno-sama doesn't hesitate at all."
Hearing Whis say nothing was left of Universe 9, Champa exclaimed: "Incredible. Zeno is truly the genuine god."
Vados suddenly covered her eyes.
Crying, she said: "Goodbye, Champa-sama. Just thinking about being separated from you makes my heart ache..."
"Vados, you bastard! You won't disappear yourself. Lucky you! It's infuriating!"
Vados suddenly smiled: "Hehehehe. To avoid being erased, we need our warriors to do their best. Don't we have a trump card? Perhaps Aaron can win."
Champa glanced at Beerus out of the corner of his eye.
"Let's hope so."
The warriors who had been fighting relatively easily stopped, having just witnessed Universe 9's destruction.
Everyone was now filled with fear.
Only one of eight universes could survive. They knew that already.
But they hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
Frieza watched the Zenos, his gaze flickering.
He thought: 'Those two colorful little children have such cute voices, but their actions are so ruthless. Truly unpleasant.'
'One day, I will stand above all of you.'
No.18 flicked a strand of hair behind her ear.
No.21 asked lightly: "You don't seem too happy?"
"Seeing a universe erased so easily... I'm frightened, I suppose."
"Don't be afraid. With Hubby here, we will win."
No.17 said: "We must leverage our advantage as Androids with infinite energy to clear the way for them."
No.18 nodded: "Yes. You've reminded me. I will give it my all."
Shin looked up at the calm stage.
He said softly: "It's reached a stalemate."
Beerus said: "Because Universe 9, being aggressive, was completely eliminated first. Every universe now understands that Zeno will truly erase universes."
"Perhaps they will avoid rash actions and re-evaluate their strategies."
Whis: "However, time waits for no one."
Zeno said: "No one is fighting anymore."
"What's wrong with them?"
The Grand Priest said: "It should start again soon. There will be warriors who can't contain themselves."
Goku walked over to Aaron: "Aaron, don't waste any more energy. We're counting on you as our trump card. That won't work if you use it up."
Aaron waved his hand: "I originally wanted to muddle through. But those guys all treat us like easy targets. I couldn't catch a break."
"Might as well intimidate them."
Caulifla walked over and said: "Exactly. Look at Jiren… no one dares mess with him. But Hubby seems too handsome, looks like an easy target. Jiren's tactic won't work for you."
Aaron looked at them and said: "Do your best. Don't worry, I'm very durable."
"Yes."
Just as the tension on the stage peaked, the Grand Priest flew into the sky.
"If the time limit is reached and more than one universe remains, excluding the universe with the most survivors, the other universes will also be erased."
The Grand Priest's words made the warriors of each universe understand anew.
The death knell had rung. Without fighting for that slim chance, there was no hope.
The battle began again.
"I'm running out of energy! I need to defeat you quickly!"
A birdman in the air fired energy blasts at Aaron. Unable to use Bukujutsu, Aaron dodged.
The blasts kicked up clouds of dust.
Before the dust cleared, the birdman tried to locate Aaron. Another energy wave shot from the dust.
It hit the birdman directly, knocking him off the stage.
The birdman landed on the stands.
Rumsshi complained, hitting the birdman on the head.
"What were you thinking? Picking a fight with him..."
"Sorry..."
…
Just as Aaron thought his display of power would deter others, more came.
Universe 6's Magetta and Botamo walked towards him.
Aaron curled his lip into a smile.
'It seems Champa still doesn't trust me. He didn't tell them.'
Beerus shouted: "Aaron! That guy's weakness is insults! Lay into him!"
Aaron pointed at Magetta and started cursing: "You piece of scrap metal! An empty tin man!"
But Magetta had no reaction.
Looking closer, Botamo was behind him, covering his ears.
"Hahaha! Did you think we wouldn't prepare?
Magetta has overcome his weakness."
Shin said: "Oh no. Insults don't work. That'll cost a lot of energy."
After speaking, Botamo stood before Aaron.
"An invincible body combined with a heart of steel. We are the strongest combination. See if you can beat me!"
Beerus was shocked: "Champa, what's your angle? Don't you want us to win and revive you?"
"Hehe. If you won't lend them, don't talk about reviving us. Aaron is your strongest, and he's already wasted so much energy. So thoughtless."
"You can't win. Just give up."
Aaron looked around and saw Jiren in the distance.
As Magetta, carrying Botamo, charged at him, Aaron turned and ran straight towards Jiren.
He pointed at Botamo and shouted: "Who dares mess with me?!"
Alice was stunned.
"Dad, is this 'redirecting trouble' still effective?"
However, Botamo and Magetta knew Jiren was not to be trifled with. They turned and ran towards Vegeta.
Aaron looked at Jiren, who still stood with his arms crossed, eyes closed, exuding an aura of supreme confidence.
Aaron marveled: "Jiren, it has its advantages looking as fierce as you do. No one messes with you."
Just then, Toppo jumped in front of Aaron.
"So you're the guy Goku mentioned? Taking out Universe 9 on your own is impressive! But that's all it is."
After speaking, Toppo charged at Aaron.
"Justice Flash!"
Toppo fired a massive energy blast at Aaron.
Beerus was furious: "So unsportsmanlike! Knowing Aaron is already exhausted, this self-proclaimed 'justice' guy is attacking him with a beam clash!"
"Damn it!"
Aaron didn't hold back. He put his hands behind his back, assuming the classic stance.
"Ka...me...ha...me...ha!"
A blue-white energy wave shot towards Toppo.
Their beams clashed, becoming locked.
Aaron's power was greater, slowly pushing Toppo back.
To make matters worse, a Death Beam hit Toppo in the back.
"Phew!"
Aaron was stunned: 'Good heavens! Lord Frieza with the sneak attack!'
Toppo's body was pushed back rapidly.
Jiren finally acted. He deflected Aaron's energy wave with a chop, breaking the beam clash.
The blast exploded mid-air, instantly causing smoke to rise everywhere.
When the smoke cleared, not only Jiren and Toppo but also Aaron had vanished.
Jiren and Toppo were top-tier fighters... it wouldn't be easy to finish them.
Aaron didn't want to fight Jiren this early. Jiren likely felt the same.
Although Aaron seemed to have used up a lot of stamina, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. He wasn't like the weaklings.
If they fought prematurely, even if he won, he wouldn't catch a break for the rest of the match.
Heles watched Aaron fire four massive energy waves in a row, somewhat surprised.
'This guy is not only handsome and strong, but also has very durable stamina...'
