Chapter 273: Fighting...Slaughtering
The arena of the Tournament of Power had turned into a storm of war cries, shockwaves, and explosions of energy. With the ticking countdown of the Grand Priest’s clock hovering in the sky, time was slipping away—and so were fighters.

A swirl of pink light and sparkling auras flooded one side of the stage as Ribrianne and her squad from Universe 2 unleashed a flashy assault of "love-powered" techniques.
"Feel the strength of true beauty and romance!" Ribrianne shouted, spinning mid-air and firing a barrage of heart-shaped blasts toward Android 18.
18 frowned. "This is giving me a headache."
With ruthless precision, she dodged the blasts and kicked Ribrianne into a stone pillar, cracking it with force. Before Ribrianne could recover, 18 sent a shockwave punch that launched her out of the arena.
"Universe 2 loses one!" the Grand Priest announced.
From the sidelines, Android 17 gave a short clap. "You’re getting soft."
18 rolled her eyes. "Try harder next time, show-off."

On another part of the arena, Tien and Krillin stood back-to-back, facing off against a duo of high-speed robotic fighters from Universe 3. The machines darted around, firing coordinated laser barrages.
