As Zeno decided to hold the Tournament of Power.
Lin Chuan, who had witnessed the entire process, was extremely shocked inwardly.
The Tournament of Power of all universes, which in the original work was held because of Son Goku… unexpectedly, it was brought up in this form.
The most unbelievable thing was that this time, even the Gods of Destruction were dragged in.
Zeno's meaning was that contestants from the entire universe would be gathered to participate, and the Gods of Destruction, as the leaders of each universe, would also participate.
Was this change caused by his influence, or… was this the Grand Priest's intentional guidance?
In his previous life, there were too many descriptions of the Grand Priest.
It made Lin Chuan both fear this ceiling-level existence, yet also have no choice but to face him.
Lin Chuan's solemn gaze focused on the Grand Priest.
In any case, his intuition told him that this Tournament of Power would be far beyond the scale of the original work and would be even less simple.
"Um, please forgive this little god for speaking too much, but are we really going to hold this kind of tournament? Moreover, if even us gods must participate, isn't that?" Beerus still had not fully reacted.
The moment his doubt left his mouth, Zeno's displeased gaze greeted him, immediately frightening him into cold sweat.
"Hoho~~ Since Lord Zeno said it will be held, then it will definitely be held. However, this is not a small matter after all. It involves twelve universes, so the specific details still need to be discussed." The Grand Priest skillfully resolved the awkwardness with one statement, then said to Zeno, "The battle here has already ended, and the turmoil in the World of Void has also calmed. Let us return first, Lord Zeno."
"Okay." Zeno nodded in agreement. Just as he prepared to return to the Grand Priest's side, he seemed to remember something, turned toward Lin Chuan, and instructed: "You must also come participate when the time comes. I really want to see your gorgeous battles after transforming."
"Alright! I will participate. Lord Zeno can rest assured." Facing Zeno, Lin Chuan lowered his posture and spoke amicably.
"Mm-hmm." Having received an answer, Zeno returned to the Grand Priest's side in satisfaction.
Only after Zeno, the Grand Priest, and the Zeno Guards left did Lin Chuan's heart finally relax.
The final gaze the Grand Priest gave him made Lin Chuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It clearly carried hidden meaning.
"Huu..." Watching Zeno leave, Beerus let out a long breath. Although he had a bad premonition, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
All the emotions produced during the battle had transformed into fright the moment Zeno descended. Now that Zeno had left, he felt unprecedented relief, and at the same time, he no longer held such great resentment toward Lin Chuan.
He was almost frightened to death!
"Do you want to continue fighting, Beerus?" Lin Chuan saw his embarrassment and proactively teased him.
"Are you done or not? Brat, you clearly know we can't fight, yet you're deliberately making fun of this god!" Hearing this, Beerus's anger rose, and he glared at Lin Chuan with displeasure.
Still fighting in this kind of state? Fight my ass. Did he not see Zeno and the Grand Priest come down to stop them?
Fighting again would be seeking death.
"Looks like you have no intention to fight anymore. Then this battle can only end in a draw. What a pity, I was only a little away from victory." Lin Chuan crossed his arms, dispersed his transformation and power, and deliberately slowed his voice as he spoke.
Stimulated, Beerus flew into a rage and cursed Lin Chuan loudly: "You bastard, stop twisting the facts!! That battle was clearly this god about to win!"
"You're not convinced? Then come fight again! It just so happens that I recovered a bit of strength just now. Dealing with a bag of bones like you won't be a problem!" Lin Chuan did not give an inch, assuming a fighting stance.
"Fight then!! You think this god is afraid of you?!" Beerus rolled up his sleeves and was about to start fighting, carrying quite the feeling of being indifferent to life and death, fighting anyone who refused to submit.
Of course, there was no way the fight could start again.
Zeno had appeared, the Grand Priest had acted, and the Angel could not continue watching from the side either.
As a disturbance came from space.
Angel Whis, who had been far away on Earth in Universe 7, appeared out of thin air in the World of Void.
"Lord Beerus and Lin Chuan, it's time to return. If we don't go back, the delicious food will get cold." Whis's intervention came at just the right time.
"Fine, fine. For Whis's sake, we'll leave it here." Lin Chuan smiled with narrowed eyes and withdrew his aura.
"You bastard...!!!" These words made Beerus's eyebrows twitch wildly, as though he might explode at any moment.
"Ahem, Lord Beerus, the delicious food on Earth is..." Seeing this, Whis reminded him again by his ear.
"Hmph! Next time won't be so simple." As his words fell, Beerus withdrew his mind.
To be honest, this brat Lin Chuan was very annoying, but he did indeed have ability.
Besides, such a high-intensity battle had consumed a lot of his energy. He had to eat back all the energy he had consumed.
"This god is only doing this for the sake of the food." Beerus assumed an unruly posture.
Regarding this, Lin Chuan was unwilling to continue entangling with him: "Say whatever you want."
At this point, this great battle could be considered temporarily concluded.
It seemed the entire world also calmed because of it.
...
At the same time.
At a certain special space-time junction.
Originally, there was nothing here. It belonged to the most void-like place, but now, it had been transformed by someone with intentions into an extremely strange super-large fortress.
This place was a space-time fortress. The master who constructed this place was none other than the space-time mutant Fu, who toyed with countless parallel space-times in the palm of his hand!
However, this Fu was not the Fu from another timeline whom Lin Chuan had nearly killed back then.
He was Fu born in the future of Lin Chuan's native timeline, also known as Super Fu.
His origin was similar to Fu from other space-times, but the only difference was that his body contained something that other Fus did not have.
Lin Chuan's cells!!!
"What an astonishing battle. The gains from this battle are quite abundant. So much distorted energy, and a large amount of battle data regarding Lin Chuan, this Super Saiyan." Super Fu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face filled with excited and evil laughter.
This battle not only yielded a large amount of space-time distortion energy, but also Lin Chuan's accurate values and almost all battle data!
Space-time distortion energy could serve as driving energy for the super space-time fortress, allowing him to move freely through different parallel space-times. Moreover, such a large amount was enough for him to conduct more than a dozen large-scale space-time travels.
After receiving so much battle data, as long as it was entered into his body, his true battle power would advance further.
Unfortunately, he failed to obtain divine blood from Lin Chuan and Beerus during their battle.
Otherwise, his genetic sequence would become even more perfect, and he himself would become stronger.
But being able to obtain such gains already satisfied Super Fu.
This was originally a pie falling from the sky. Wanting even more would be greedy.
"Let me see how the other me is progressing. With such a huge commotion, you should have gained quite a few good things too, right?" Super Fu smiled craftily and casually waved his hand. Powerful Law of Space-Time appeared, projecting a space-time image before him.
The person within this projection was none other than him from another timeline.
Also the Fu who had fortunately escaped from Lin Chuan's hands back then.
"With such immense energy, the foundational energy for constructing Prison Planet is also enough." Fu was greedily absorbing the powerful Divine Power drifting through the space-time crack through the sword in his hand.
That was the residual Divine Power erupted during Lin Chuan and Beerus's battle. It was picked up by him and happened to be used for his plan.
Once all the Divine Power in the space-time crack was drained, Fu's face revealed a nearly crazed smile as he coldly laughed: "Lin Chuan, as the most special Saiyan in this timeline, you truly brought me an enormous surprise. If I wasted this much Divine Power, it would be too unfair to you."
"I've decided. After Prison Planet is constructed, I'll capture you inside! Then I'll make countless powerhouses from space-times fight you endlessly until you are completely exhausted and die!"
This Fu had already entered delusion, which showed just how deep his hatred toward Lin Chuan had become because of what happened back then.
He wanted revenge, and he also wanted to accomplish something even another him could not!
...
Between space-times, undercurrents surged.
It was not only the two Fus. There were also other fellows wandering among multiple parallel space-times who, because they sensed the changes in the space-time where Lin Chuan was located, used special means to see it.
Within a glass crystal super space-time shuttle created by the Glass Race.
Here, existences from multiple different space-times gathered.
Among them was Lagss, a survivor of the long-destroyed Glass Race.
There was the Evil Saiyan Cumber, who had existed from the ancient era of the Saiyans until now.
And there was also a powerful superhuman, Hearts, who intended to push gods down from their altar!
"Lord Hearts, should we go meet this human whose strength may be powerful enough to defeat a God of Destruction?" The blue-haired girl Lagss asked with a calm expression.
"No need to hurry. Contacting such a powerful fellow too early may not necessarily be a good thing." Hearts replied. Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
After staying silent for a long while, he said with interest again: "One day in the future, we will definitely meet him! Moreover, as a fellow Saiyan, our Cumber is quite interested in him. Am I right, Cumber!"
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Lagss turned her puzzled gaze toward the large man not far away, whose entire body radiated dark red evil light and whose build exceeded two meters.
"He is very strong, strong enough to make my whole body tremble!" Cumber said in a low voice.
As a battle maniac, Cumber cared greatly about that fellow kin named Lin Chuan. Even though the strength the other party displayed was terrifying enough to make him tremble, he did not fear it. He even wanted to have a great battle with him.
"Sooner or later, you will face him. But before that, we must complete the plan first, then increase your strength. Otherwise, when we go recruit him, if you are no match for him, that would be embarrassing, Cumber." Hearts teased with a smile.
"Hmph~~! Don't worry. As long as I am given time, I will master that power! So, I will definitely win!" Cumber's eyes burned with high fighting intent. Although he verbally refused to admit defeat, he still clearly understood his own strength in his heart.
At the very least, if he fought Lin Chuan now, he would only suffer a crushing defeat.
He might not even be able to take a casual strike from the other party.
"I know you can win. My partner will not lose to anyone." Hearts smiled strangely and said nothing more.
...
On the other side.
Within a space-time crack that had been silent for an unknown number of years.
Sealed here was a Demon God who had once attempted to rule over all parallel space-times.
His name: Demigra.
'BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ~~!!!'
From outside the space-time crack, surging Divine Power crossed countless space-times and rushed over, tearing open a crack in this space-time seal that had lasted seventy-five million years.
Because of this, Demon God Demigra, who had been sealed within this space-time crack, was able to awaken.
"Hahahahaha~~! I never expected that after sleeping in this space-time crack for tens of millions of years, there would actually be an unexpected joy." The awakened Demon God Demigra laughed loudly.
He could clearly sense that the sealing energy within the space-time crack had weakened!
Now was the perfect time for him to escape.
"The time to regain freedom has come!" Demon God Demigra let out an angry shout. Powerful Demon God Power surged from within his body, instantly blasting open a breach in the space-time crack that had trapped him for nearly seventy-five million years.
He also seized this opportunity to rush out from the breach, arriving at the outer edge of the space-time crack.
Demon God Demigra, who had regained freedom, revealed an evil and ferocious smile.
Vast Demon God Power gathered in his palm, forming a Super Space-Time Erasure Bullet.
"Farewell, damned space-time seal." Demon God Demigra smiled ferociously and shot out the Super Space-Time Erasure Bullet in his hand. Carrying powerful Demon God Power, it crashed into the surface of the space-time crack.
'CRACKLE~~!!!'
The powerful energy impact stirred terrifying chaotic space-time currents, and the entire space-time crack vanished instantly.
"The feeling of freedom… truly is wonderful." Demon God Demigra enjoyed this moment immensely.
After being trapped for more than seventy-five million years, now that he had regained freedom, he wished he could destroy all those insects who had plotted against him in the past.
However, he also had self-awareness. After all, he was a Demon God who had once roamed countless space-times. He knew he needed nourishment from some great tonics.
Otherwise, with his current Demon God Power not even one ten-thousandth of what it was, he was fundamentally not a match for those fellows.
"It was from that direction that the Divine Power impact came, allowing me to escape..." Demon God Demigra narrowed his eyes slightly and locked onto the direction. Those Demon God Eyes pierced through countless space-time barriers and saw everything happening in the target space-time.
"Looks like I slept for quite a long time. In this era, a human warrior capable of rivaling a God of Destruction has already appeared." Demon God Demigra's expression became solemn as he muttered to himself.
He developed deep interest in this powerful human, even suddenly wanting the other party to become his subordinate.
However, in his current state, if he appeared before the other party, he would probably be directly killed.
"There is no need to rush. There will be opportunities in the future!"
The immediate priority was recovering his injuries and strength. As long as he returned to his peak state, everything would not be a problem.
Just as Demon God Demigra planned to leave this place, an extremely dense Space-Time Power suddenly surged from the surrounding space-time.
This Space-Time Power formed a black vortex, and a tall green-haired beauty holding a Demon God Staff walked out from within.
She was one of Demigra's former subordinates, Demon God Putine.
"It's you, Putine." Seeing the newcomer, Demon God Demigra lowered his guard.
Demon God Putine was his most capable subordinate, and also his most trustworthy subordinate.
