Chapter 180 Crisis Hidden In The Shadows
The several people watched as blue lights flashed continuously. Goku said, "It seems something is refracting the light rays and attacking!"
Aaron nodded, "Well said. How about this: you two are tough, so you be the bait, while my daughter and I will find the source and take him out."
Vegeta said, "Why don't you be the bait? I'll find that guy and take him out."
"That works too. You two find him, I'll be the bait to lure them out."
Vegeta was stunned: "You agree so readily?"
"Is there a problem?" Aaron asked.
"No, none."
After speaking, Aaron shot rays towards the rocks, heating up the nearby stones.
Without accidents, the enemy should start shooting lasers randomly soon.
After Aaron finished his operation, he returned to Alice's side.
Vegeta: "This is the bait?"
Aaron nodded: "Just watch."
In an instant, countless blue light rays started shooting wildly.
They continuously shot through rocks, and the entire space instantly fell into a net of lasers.
The group quickly dodged.
Aaron shouted, "Vegeta, aren't you going to find the enemy?"
Vegeta's mouth twitched.
He then looked at Aaron, who had used Instant Transmission to leave with Alice.
Only then did he realize he had been tricked.
After all, they were both experts. Dodging the light rays wasn't too difficult.
Beerus: "This fight is quite unfavorable."
Supreme Kai shouted, "Goku, quickly grab Vegeta and use Instant Transmission to get out of there!"
Goku quickly said, "Vegeta, grab me!"
Vegeta spat: "Ptooey, no way I'm running. They're just weaklings. Watch me knock them away."
Goku had no choice but to go along with him to deal with this guy.
They dodged the map-wide attacks while trying to find the source of the light rays.
Soon, they found the source.
A red-skinned fat guy was shooting light rays wildly.
Goku said, "Over there. It looks like one person shoots, and the other person bounces the rays back."
Vegeta curled his lip: "Then let's take out this guy."
With that, Vegeta ran towards the guy reflecting the rays.
Goku wanted to call him back but couldn't stop him.
He had to follow.
"Wait for me, Vegeta!"
Vegeta shouted at the man, "Damn it! Watch me finish you in an instant."
Goku: "Then I'll have to join you, Vegeta! Don't aim at him yet. Killing him would be bad."
They ran while charging their attacks.
"Galick Gun!"
"Kamehameha!"
They suddenly blasted two energy waves near the red fat guy.
The two energy waves exploded directly on the rocks beneath his feet, instantly exposing his position completely.
Vegeta cursed, "Sneaky lowlife! Watch me blast you off with one move!"
"What did you say?"
Vegeta launched another energy wave without a second word.
Unexpectedly, the red fat guy directly absorbed Vegeta's blast.
"Reflect!"
Instantly, Vegeta's energy wave shot back towards Goku and Vegeta.
They hurriedly jumped to dodge the energy wave.
"What!"
"This guy can reflect energy waves!"
The red fat guy revealed a sinister smile: "That's right. And I expected you to come after me."
"I can not only monitor enemies but also act as a mirror."
"What did you say?"
Vegeta: "Then shouldn't we take down the shooter first?"
"It's too late to understand now. You're finished!"
Beerus roared, "What is that Goku guy doing, not leaving quickly?"
Shin sighed and said, "The Saiyans are showing off again. They have Instant Transmission but won't use it."
Just then, a long-range sniper fired an energy wave at the fat guy.
The ray shot again towards Goku and Vegeta.
They hurriedly dodged again.
Vegeta commanded, "Kakarot, you handle this guy. I'll take care of the other one."
The red fat guy laughed loudly, "Don't even think about running! Harmira, shoot!"
The distant Harmira shot a volley, then leaped again, moving and changing position, hiding his form.
The ray hit the red fat guy and shot towards Goku and Vegeta again.
At the same time, countless small beads had filled the area, also continuously reflecting rays.
If the laser missed an enemy or a rock, it would keep reflecting repeatedly.
Vegeta and Goku were instantly trapped.
The sniper kept changing position, constantly shooting.
Moreover, with dark skin and no Ki leakage, he was hard to find.
In a hurry, Vegeta thought of a good idea.
He picked up a large rock and threw it at the mirror guy.
The red fat guy jumped back to dodge the rock, stopping the reflection for a moment.
Goku's eyes lit up: "As expected of you, Vegeta, that's another way! Alright, me too."
With that, the two tough guys started carrying rocks and throwing them wildly at the red fat guy.
Now, he couldn't reflect anymore. He kept jumping left and right to dodge the incoming boulders.
"Harmira, what are you doing? Shoot at me quickly."
"No can do. I'm in a tough spot here too."
Turning his head, he saw Aaron and Alice chasing the sniper.
Beerus breathed a sigh of relief: "Many hands make light work. Such guys are really despicable."
Shin: "I thought Aaron and Alice had just run away."
Elder Kai: "How is that possible? We in Universe 7 are the most united."
The sniper kept fleeing, constantly looking for cover.
But he couldn't withstand Aaron and Alice frequently firing Ki Blasts at him.
In a short time, this area was blasted bare.
Unable to dodge anymore, the sniper knelt on the ground panting, right at the edge of the arena.
Alice shouted, "Go down!"
Then she fired an energy wave at the sniper.
The sniper sneered, "You too!"
With that, he shot a ray towards the ground. In an instant, the ground at the edge of the arena shattered, and Alice also started falling.
Aaron was already prepared. He had locked onto Goku's Ki in advance.
He leaped and caught Alice. With Instant Transmission, they returned safely to the battlefield.
Alice raised her hand excitedly and high-fived Aaron.
Zeno: "Wow, the sniper has been caught!"
"Harmira is out!"
Without the sniper, Goku and Vegeta easily threw the red fat guy out of the arena.
"Universe 2, Prum is out!"
"I've never seen such a contest. It's so much fun."
"Yeah, those sneaky arrows really kept you on edge."
Goku looked around and said, "There are fewer and fewer people. I really want to have a match with Jiren."
Vegeta: "Just knock them all out. Looks like victory is in sight."
Aaron said, "It might still be a bit early to fight them. There are still a few hidden guys. My daughter and I will clean them up."
"Vegeta, you go knock out the pink fat one."
Vegeta's eyes instantly drooped: "Tch, I'm not going. It's too ugly to even touch."
Zeno looked at the God Pad and counted silently: "Hmm, how many are left?"
"1,2,3,4…" The other Zeno started counting again.
Unfortunately, he ran out of fingers and said bewildered, "Still many."
The Grand Priest said, "As of now, 36 people remain. Universe 2 has six fighters left, Universe 3 has seven, Universe 11 has three, Universe 4 has four, Universe 6 has six, and only Universe 7 has all ten members."
"Wow, Universe 7 with Goku hasn't lost a single person. That's really amazing."
Shin sighed, "I didn't expect our universe not to lose a single person. It's so exciting!"
"I also predict that our universe will achieve final victory."
Whis: "The more so, the easier it becomes a target for others."
Shin looked at Beerus.
"What's wrong, Beerus-sama?"
"Universe 4 has four left?"
"Uh, yes, that's what the Grand Priest said! There are six people sitting on the bench, so there should be four left."
"But the problem is, even though there are four left, only two fighters from Universe 4 are visible on the arena."
Elder Kai said, "Looks like there are more hiding in the shadows."
Whis: "That could be tricky. I hear Universe 4 has many fighters with special abilities."
"They might set a trap at a critical moment."
Beerus: "Damn it. Where are the remaining two? What is Quitela planning now?"
Whis said, "No need to rush, Beerus-sama. I think Aaron and the others have also noticed this."
"From the beginning, he and Alice have been searching for those hiding."
Beerus nodded: "Yes, he has the clearest head. Unlike Goku, who just wants to immediately challenge the strongest fighter, Jiren."
Marcarita also overheard Universe 7's count and said, "Our universe only has three people left. Our numbers are bad."
Belmod, however, looked confident: "The remaining three, led by Jiren, are the three strongest in this universe. Numbers don't matter. Quality is more important than quantity."
Universe 11's Supreme Kai adjusted his glasses: "Also, Jiren and Toppo are completely uninjured, having expended almost no stamina. Every other universe has gone through some tough battles, more or less. You could say we have the advantage too."
