Chapter 191 Are Aaron And Jiren Dead?
The blinding light exploded instantly.
More dazzling than a Solar Flare.
They couldn't look. They couldn't bear to look. They simply couldn't open their eyes.
Beerus shouted: "Everyone else, get down!"
Who needed him to say it?
No one on the entire arena could stand anymore. Everyone was already lying flat!
After the violent explosion subsided, the intense light faded. The entire arena was split in half. The ground was a scorched wasteland.
Between the two halves of the arena, a gap of over a hundred meters had formed. The two halves just floated there.
The Grand Priest looked somewhat helpless.
"I didn't expect that even with this strength and thickness, the arena's quality still isn't enough."
The fighters on the arena stood up one by one.
The spectators on the stands also lowered their shielding hands and looked at the arena.
"What the heck!"
"The arena has been split in two!"
"This arena is far stronger than a star. Their power is terrifying!"
"Just now... was that truly power a person could unleash?"
"Unthinkable. Inconceivable. It makes my scalp tingle!"
"What kind of prodigy has Universe 7 produced?"
"Where's Jiren?"
"Where's Aaron?"
"Being at the center of that universe-destroying explosion... did they both get wiped out?"
The spectators began looking around, searching for traces of the two.
No.18 got up and scanned for Aaron.
"I can't sense Hubby's Ki... Hubby, where are you?"
No.18's eyes began to tremble, her hands clenching the hem of her clothes tightly.
Caulifla helped Kale up, also searching for Aaron.
"What happened? What's going on? Where's Hubby?"
When Caulifla saw the other half of the arena, she was utterly shocked.
This was an arena made by the Grand Priest.
It's made from the hardest substance in in the universe.
And yet, a kilometers-wide arena was split in two by the explosion...
Kale cried out: "Where's Hubby? He couldn't have..."
Kale didn't dare to imagine it. She hadn't yet gotten used to Earth using Dragon Balls as tools.
She just thought… if her husband was gone, how could she go on living?
"Hubby, please come out!"
Caulifla patted Kale, comforting her: "Don't be afraid. Hubby is so strong. There's no way he's dead."
Belmod gripped his numb scalp tightly with both hands, stood up, and looked at the arena.
"Jiren! You're not dead, are you?"
Zeno waved his fists excitedly.
"Great! The fight just now was great!"
"They're amazing! Boom! And it exploded!"
"Yeah! Even the arena got busted! So amazing!"
"Oh dear, the arena's split in two!"
Clang!!!
On the left half of the arena, the pillar marking the time was still there.
The pillar suddenly dropped one notch.
This meant the match wasn't over. Time was still passing.
Universe 3's God of Destruction, not seeing Jiren or Aaron, his shocked expression instantly turned to wild joy.
"Good! Both of those guys are dead! Our Universe 3 has a chance!"
No.21 got up too, calling Aaron's name.
"Aaron, where are you? Hubby, where are you?"
Neither Jiren nor Aaron was visible on the stands.
'Could they be dead?'
Vegeta swallowed, staring in shock at the arena they had destroyed, split in two. His heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
'Just the residual waves had the power to destroy a star.'
'Too terrifying.'
Alice looked around blankly. Not feeling Aaron's Ki, tears streamed from her eyes.
"Dad, where are you?"
"I've lost you once. I can't lose you again!"
Frieza recovered from his shock.
'Are they both dead?'
'Could it be... my chance has come?'
'Oh hoh hoh hoh...'
'Maybe I really can profit from this...'
No.17 forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly, "The fight isn't over yet. If we knock them all off the arena, victory is ours!"
"If we win the tournament, we can use our Dragon Balls to revive them!"
Everyone's spirits lifted.
That's right. They have the Dragon Balls.
Reviving someone is a small matter.
Vegeta, Goku, No.18, No.21, Alice, Frieza, No.17, Caulifla, and Kale… nine of them gathered together.
Even without Aaron, Universe 7 was still formidable.
However, just as the group was about to continue fighting, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble again.
"Here it comes. I feel Hubby's Ki!" No.18's eyes lit up.
"That's Hubby's Ki!" No.21 was overjoyed.
Caulifla and Kale's eyes sparkled with gold.
Universe 7 was on the left half of the arena.
Because Aaron was also on the left half.
The trembling of the arena surely meant Aaron.
Alice wiped the tears from her eyes. Her eyes lit up.
"I knew it. Dad is so strong. Dad can't die. Dad is still alive!"
Under the watchful eyes of all, a figure appeared at the broken edge of the arena.
Who else could it be but Aaron?
His top was torn, revealing his muscular physique.
His hair had returned to its black state, but his immense Ki still brooked no doubt.
Aaron clenched his fist, excited: "Phew, that fight was really satisfying. Awesome!"
Belmod spotted Aaron's figure but still hadn't seen Jiren.
He couldn't sense Jiren's Ki anymore.
'Aaron was still here. Had Jiren died?'
Suddenly, Belmod's expression lit up.
'Even if Jiren died, Aaron was still alive. Universe 7 would lose their qualification for murder.'
'Toppo, who had mastered the power of destruction, could still dominate the others.'
'My Universe 11 would still be the ultimate victor.'
Suddenly, Belmod shouted: "He killed Jiren! Universe 7 loses their qualification!"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
Heles retorted: "In a clash of that magnitude, who could control it?"
Marcarita said, "That level of clash probably shouldn't count as intentional killing."
Not seeing Jiren, Beerus was also a bit tense. He looked at Zeno.
Goku also looked at Zeno.
The Grand Priest also turned his head to look at Zeno.
Zeno said, "Because it was exciting, it's not against the rules."
"Yes, it was too exciting. It was just an accident."
A slight smile appeared on the Grand Priest's lips. He turned to the deities.
"Universe 7, no penalty. The match continues. 40 Takks remaining."
"Thank you, Zeno-sama!"
Beerus, Shin, and Elder Kai bowed to Zeno in thanks.
With no penalty and Jiren gone, Universe 7's championship was as good as sealed.
