Earth.
West City.
On the second-floor rooftop of Lin Chuan's house.
God of Destruction Beerus, Angel Whis, East Supreme Kai, Old Supreme Kai, Kibito, and the ten contestants representing Universe 7 had all gathered here.
Naturally, this also included the families and relatives of all the warriors.
During this final week, no one had been idle. Everyone had made full preparations for this Tournament of Power.
It could be said that they had made the greatest breakthroughs in the shortest time, raising their strength to an even higher peak.
Everyone was looking forward to it, even Future Lin Xue was the same.
To her, in her time-space world, the Tournament of Power had also been held. It was just that she had still been young back then and only knew about it, but had not participated.
Now things were different. She had come to this time-space world and was representing this time-space world in the tournament.
Only Lin Chuan had a calm expression and a natural demeanor.
After all, as a transmigrator, he already knew everything. Even if the rules of the Tournament of Power in this world had changed, and the four universes that did not participate in the original work were also participating, in the end, the only thing that could make him look forward to it was the Gods of Destruction from the other universes entering the stage.
If the strength level did not reach the Tenth Dimension or above, there was no need for him to act.
His strength was right here. To put it bluntly, this Tournament of Power was no different from a tournament for bullying weaklings to him.
To put it even more directly, even if the Gods of Destruction from the other universes all entered the stage to fight, the result would not change.
The current Lin Chuan was far stronger than when he left a year ago.
If he fought Beerus again, he had absolute confidence in defeating him.
Actually, what they had agreed on back then was to fight again one year later.
It was just that this Tournament of Power was important. Lin Chuan did not clash with Beerus, and Beerus also tactfully did not mention it.
"There is still some time before the Tournament of Power officially begins. However, since everyone is already here, we can also depart early. What does everyone think?" Whis's gaze swept over everyone present as he asked.
"Since we can already depart, then hurry up and depart, Whis! I can't wait to see the masters from the other universes!" Son Goku was already so excited he could hardly control himself. Right now, he was already eager to fight the warriors of the other universes.
"I have no objections." Raditz crossed his arms and agreed.
The two of them gave their answers, and immediately afterward, the others also expressed their agreement one after another.
Going early was also a good thing. They could personally watch the contestants from the other universes arrive one after another and analyze them in advance.
This was what Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Son Gohan, and the others thought.
Finally, Whis shifted his gaze to Lin Chuan. "Does Lin Chuan have anything to say?"
After all, as the backbone of the team, Lin Chuan had absolute decision-making authority.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's go." Shaking his head, Lin Chuan said without hesitation.
After receiving the answer, Whis smiled and had everyone hold hands and form a circle.
Actually, they could be transported without doing this. This was a joke Whis made, and also so that everyone could be more united.
In reality, in the original work, Whis did this to tease the relationship between Frieza, Son Goku, and Vegeta.
Unexpectedly, Whis's playful nature was truly this strong.
"Lord Grand Priest, all contestants from Universe 7 are ready."
With a thought, the Angel staff contacted the Grand Priest in the World of Void.
As Whis spoke, a mysterious power emerged. Along with the sound of the two words "Very well" being transmitted over, a burst of white light quickly enveloped everyone.
An extremely special feeling also instantly swept through everyone's hearts.
Lin Chuan was no stranger to this power, because it belonged to the power of the Law of Space, and it was a Law of Space Power that had reached a certain peak.
At the very least, he could not do it, even though his use of the Law of Space had already reached a very profound level.
Of course, he was not too surprised either, because he knew how terrifying the Grand Priest was.
But the others were different. Although everyone's strength was very powerful, they had not come into contact with too much Law Power. Such a peculiar power caused special insights to sprout in their hearts.
Outside this white light, Bulma, Android 18, and Android 21 brought Lin Xue, Lin An, and Lin Xin without saying a word, only silently watching Lin Chuan, who was about to leave.
Knowing the worry of his wives and children, Lin Chuan looked at them and gave them a reassuring smile.
The next second.
A burst of air-breaking sound rang out, 'Whoosh~~!!!'
As the white light disappeared, Lin Chuan's group also disappeared from where they stood.
As if they had never appeared at all.
"I'm counting on you, husband. I believe you will definitely win." Bulma murmured.
"Don't worry. We just need to take care of the family and wait for them to come back." Android 18, on the other hand, was very calm as she coaxed her daughter Lin Xin in her arms.
"At least in some of the future time-spaces I know of, as long as a time-space world experienced the Tournament of Power event, husband never lost." Android 21 said.
...
Beyond the twelve universes.
This was the World of Void.
Moreover, it was a very special and vast World of Void under the Grand Priest's control.
Within the World of Void, located in the chaos, the arena that resembled a giant spinning top was extremely conspicuous.
This was the competition venue, made using the hardest substance in Universe 7, Kachi Katchin.
No! It was not ordinary Kachi Katchin, but super, super Kachi Katchin that had been strengthened through special means.
Simply put, it was the hardest substance in the twelve universes.
On the arena, a dazzling white light bloomed in one corner.
Whis, Beerus, East Supreme Kai, and Old Supreme Kai from Universe 7, as well as Lin Chuan and his group of ten, stepped onto the stage.
The moment he arrived at the Tournament of Power arena, Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and directly mobilized his divine sense, intending to envelop the entire World of Void.
This left him extremely surprised, because this World of Void seemed different from the World of Void he had once visited.
As for what exactly the difference was, Lin Chuan could not say.
In short, it was not the World of Void Whis had brought him to back then, much less the World of Void where he and Beerus had fought.
[As expected, there is not only one World of Void! This World of Void is of an even higher level!]
Thinking this in his heart, Lin Chuan raised his eyes and looked upward.
The supreme Grand Priest was standing atop the floating balance scale, just in time to meet his gaze.
The Grand Priest smiled faintly, but did not say anything.
"So this is the arena for the Tournament of Power, and this is the World of Void? It really is unbelievable..." Son Goku's gaze swept around, and he was also shocked by the environment of the World of Void.
Although he had long known of the World of Void's existence, this was his first time coming here. Personally sensing it and seeing it through Whis's projection back then were two completely different things.
In his mind, he began to wonder whether the universe looked like this before it was born.
"It's not only that the World of Void is vast beyond imagination. Even the arena under our feet is not simple. It's far more sturdy than imagined. As expected of the venue that can withstand the battles of top warriors from our universes!" Raditz stomped forcefully on the arena beneath his feet. The rebounding impact made him affirm the hardness of this arena.
If the entire arena were easily blown to pieces during the battle, then how this battle royale would continue would become a problem.
Everyone already knew the rules, so if the arena disappeared, it would be equivalent to everyone being eliminated.
"It seems there really is no way to use Bukujutsu to fly." Son Gohan made an attempt. Just as Whis had said, their ability to fly had been prohibited the moment they arrived.
"In that case, wouldn't falling down mean death? This abyss is bottomless, as if it has no end." Cold sweat flowed down Krillin's face as he looked at the endless dark vortex below the arena and retreated repeatedly.
Just staring into the depths of this darkness made all the hairs on his body stand on end, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
"All eliminated contestants will fall into this abyss... So losing the match means death?! If everyone is eliminated, it means the universe is destroyed!" Tien Shinhan also stared at this endless abyss. His mind was heavy, and his expression was incomparably serious.
With flight ability prohibited, everyone should be the same.
At this time, Whis spoke to explain. "Everyone, there is no need to worry. After falling off the arena, the power of the rules will send you all to the spectator area, so death is not involved."
These words made everyone's eyes light up.
"I see. I was just thinking that there would be a loophole in the rules like this. If falling out of the arena means being teleported away, then it makes sense." Lin Xue joined in from the side.
"Tch~! Even if falling down really means death, then just don't fall down! If we're already afraid of falling down and dying before we've even fought, then we've already lost!" Vegeta suddenly spoke, instantly changing the atmosphere.
It had to be said, those words were not wrong, and everyone agreed.
"Although I really hate you, what you said this time is indeed reasonable." Broly rarely said something good to Vegeta.
Vegeta did not care about his evaluation and raised his head to look upward.
Just like Lin Chuan and Piccolo, he had long been paying attention to the Grand Priest.
[Grand Priest! The ceiling-level existence of the world Lin Chuan spoke of! Even from this far away, the feeling he gives me is completely different from the pressure brought by a God of Destruction. He allows not the slightest blasphemy.] Piccolo thought secretly in his heart.
He tried to use perception to probe the Grand Priest's power, but the result he obtained was that the Grand Priest seemed to not exist in this world at all.
Such a supreme existence was still far beyond what the current him could touch.
The Grand Priest naturally also noticed Piccolo's gaze and responded to Piccolo with a smile.
It was precisely this smile that invisibly brought a feeling that struck Piccolo's heart.
"My current realm is still far, far too lacking..." Piccolo, who had been impacted, took a deep breath and calmed his heart.
"Then, Lord Beerus and I will leave first. Next, please do your best, everyone." Whis smiled calmly, rose, and flew toward the spectator stands outside the arena.
The moment he flew, everyone except Lin Chuan was stunned.
Without a doubt, what they were thinking was: Didn't they say no one could fly? How can he fly?
It was Whis who took the initiative to explain, allowing everyone to understand that the rules were only effective on them.
"Hmph! Stop getting tangled up in things you shouldn't get tangled up in! You guys had better bring glory to this god, and it would be best if you don't make this god personally enter the stage." After Beerus finished speaking, he followed behind Whis and flew toward the spectator stands together.
"Then, we will take our leave first as well. The fate of Universe 7 is entrusted to everyone." East Supreme Kai said, then brought Old Supreme Kai and flew toward the spectator stands together.
...
"As the first universe to arrive, we'll just slowly wait from here." After Lin Chuan spoke, everyone maintained their respective postures and waited quietly.
Of course, they would also occasionally exchange a few random words.
Time passed second by second.
Half an hour later.
A voice suddenly called out from the void.
"Lord Grand Priest, all members of Universe 12 are ready." Along with the sound of this voice, the Grand Priest gave the same answer.
Under the use of the supreme Law of Space Power, Angel Martinu, God of Destruction Giin, Supreme Kai Agu, and ten contestants from Universe 12 were transferred onto the arena.
In an instant, incomparably savage and powerful auras raged across the arena.
As the second universe to arrive, everyone from Universe 7 focused their attention.
Even Lin Chuan was stunned.
Among Universe 12's ten contestants, those three guys had actually appeared!!
[Bojack, Hatchiyack, and Metal Cooler... Just what is going on?!! Is Universe 12 openly provoking the rules?!] Lin Chuan pondered in his heart.
One had to know that the Bojack of this world had been destroyed by him many years ago along with his planet.
As for Hatchiyack, he had never appeared at all!
As for Metal Cooler, that guy had been smashed to pieces by him back then. It was impossible for him to be modified into Metal Cooler again.
So, these three guys definitely came from other time-space worlds.
[Who is secretly playing tricks? Could it be that fellow Fu? Or is an Angel secretly assisting?] Lin Chuan thought of many possibilities, one of which was Fu.
In truth, he leaned more toward this possibility, because only Fu, who possessed the ability to travel through time and space, could gather masters from other universes and pull off this kind of trick.
He just did not know that if Fu was the one behind it, whether this Fu was the Fu from their timeline or the Fu from the Xeno timeline.
"Dad, there's something strange about them." Lin Xue came to Lin Chuan's side with a serious expression and called out.
Clearly, as a Time Patroller, and with the Mark of Time, Lin Xue had already noticed it.
Especially since she was not unfamiliar with Bojack, Hatchiyack, and Metal Cooler. She had even once gone to certain time-space worlds and killed them.
"Don't worry. It doesn't matter." Lin Chuan said with a smile.
So what if those three guys from other time-space worlds were helping them? They were still just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.
The battle power of Bojack, Hatchiyack, and Metal Cooler could not be considered too strong.
Bojack's battle power was just over 1,500 Zi, at the middle to later stage of the Eighth Dimension.
Hatchiyack had a battle power of 5,000 Zi, at the late peak of the Eighth Dimension.
As for Metal Cooler, with his steel body, his battle power index was around 3,500 Zi, and his defense far surpassed others of the same level. This was only his metal form.
He just did not know whether he had mastered the Golden Form transformation.
