"What?!"
Seeing the energy completely erased, Goku was greatly shocked, but he quickly discovered the principle behind it.
This guy had covered his body with destruction, forming a special defense. The instant anything touched him, it would be erased on the spot by this God of Destruction Power.
However, there was no such thing as an impeccable ability in this world. As long as the correct method was found, it could still be defeated.
"It's useless. After mastering destruction, I am invincible!! Goku, prepare to be eliminated!!" Eriku grinned and pushed both hands forward. A dense Destruction Ball instantly condensed into form, and after locking onto Goku's position, it suddenly shot out.
The instant he attacked, Goku noticed the opening.
When this guy attacked, the God of Destruction Power wrapped around his body would disappear. That was the best time for him to attack.
"I've already discovered your weakness." Goku smiled confidently, and silver light flashed through his eyes.
He caught the Destruction Ball coming toward him with one hand, borrowed its force, and changed the direction of the Destruction Ball, counterattacking Eriku.
Of course, this was not merely changing its direction.
The instant Goku touched the Destruction Ball, his pure Divine Power invaded the Destruction Ball, changing the structure inside it and turning it into his own energy blast attack.
"You think this can fool my eyes?!" Eriku's eyes focused. He condensed God of Destruction Power again, and a Destruction Ball compressed to the extreme shot out violently, colliding with the energy blast transformed by Goku.
'BOOM~~!!!!!'
The energy blasts collided, and the explosive might was terrifying to the extreme. Flames of destruction spread rapidly, and the shockwave produced by the explosion forced both of them back at the same time.
At this point, the battle began again.
Eriku attacked first, using God of Destruction Power as the driving force for his advance. He instantly erupted with speed surpassing spatial jumps, breaking through the exploding flames and descending in front of Goku.
Eriku's punches and kicks, carrying sharp killing intent, swung out as fast as lightning.
However, the current Goku had long since mastered Ultra Instinct freely. Even facing this kind of rapid attack, he could make the most precise reaction immediately.
His dodging and defense were watertight, flawless, perfectly dealing with all of Eriku's attacks.
"How can this be?! Impossible!!!" Eriku was dumbfounded, unable to believe that his full-power attacks could not even touch the corner of Goku's clothes.
"It's useless. Even though your strength has increased a lot, under the enhancement of Ultra Instinct, your attacks can't hit me!" Goku's whisper wrapped around Eriku's ears. At the same time, he also erupted with extreme speed and descended behind Eriku in an instant.
His right hand pressed against Eriku's back. Pure Divine Power turned into a powerful shockwave that instantly bombarded Eriku's body.
In the blink of an eye, Eriku flew backward like a kite with its string cut, smashing through several super Katchin steel pillars that rose from the ground along the way.
"Looks like my power is still superior. Ultra Instinct can perfectly deal with all attacks!" Goku felt the Divine Power flowing within his body, and his confidence instantly surged.
No matter how powerful an attack was, it was useless if it could not hit. The free offense and defense of Ultra Instinct was exactly what he had been lacking.
Defeating Eriku was only a matter of time.
'BOOM~~!!!!'
Suddenly, a violent energy erupted.
The knocked-back God of Destruction Eriku was furious. His intense emotional fluctuation magnified the destructive desire in his heart to the limit.
The intensity of his God of Destruction Power also became increasingly frightening.
"Go! Ku!" Eriku let out hysterical roars.
Extreme killing intent stirred the eruption of God of Destruction Power, shaking the arena while also completely igniting Goku's fighting spirit.
"Perfect timing!!!" Goku's mouth rose, entering a fully prepared state.
The next second, the furious Eriku raised his God of Destruction Power regardless of cost until it was on the verge of going berserk, then attacked Goku in an instant.
At this moment, his speed and strength both underwent a leap-like increase.
His leap-like increase in combat ability caught Goku off guard.
[So fast! This guy's speed has increased quite a bit compared to just now!] Goku exclaimed in great shock inwardly.
Before he could come back to his senses, Eriku launched another fierce and terrifying storm-like destructive offensive.
His devastating punches and kicks transformed into a destruction storm that swept through all things, surging toward Goku.
If it were anyone else facing this dense offensive, they would probably have been beaten into a sieve in an instant.
But before Goku in Ultra Instinct, although this attack was swift and fierce, it was not impossible to deal with.
Goku's figure moved like a ghost through the net woven from punches and kicks.
No matter how Eriku attacked, he simply could not injure Goku.
"Impossible impossible impossible!!!" Seeing all his attacks dodged, Eriku was dumbfounded and found it hard to believe.
Was Ultra Instinct really that flawless?
Logically speaking, as a fused warrior, after transforming into a God of Destruction, his battle power should be much stronger!
While Eriku was shocked, Goku seized the chance. Divine Power turned into burning flames and condensed on his fist, and a full-power rising uppercut was forcefully unleashed.
'BANG!!!!'
This unstoppable ultra-heavy blow struck Eriku hard in the jaw.
The powerful force overturned Eriku's body and instantly sent him a hundred meters into the air.
Enduring the intense pain, Eriku once again mobilized God of Destruction Power. In an instant, hundreds to thousands of Destruction Balls poured down from the sky, turning into a dense net that carried out a covering bombardment on the area where Goku was.
Seeing this, Goku quickly found a countermeasure.
He crossed his hands, his Divine Power surged, and silver light bloomed on both arms. As he waved both hands, Divine Power turned into a silver energy wall.
'BOOM~~!!!!'
All the Destruction Balls bombarded the surface of the energy wall and were blocked by this energy wall.
Seeing his attack blocked, anger surged in Eriku's heart, and his destructive desire gradually increased.
"Since I can't hit you, I'll blow you up along with this entire area!!!" Eriku made up his mind.
In an instant, God of Destruction Power pulsed, and towering God of Destruction might descended.
God of Destruction Power surged around him. This power directly allowed him to surpass the rules of the Tournament of Power, letting him temporarily remain in the void.
He raised both hands high, and the gathered God of Destruction Power exploded with destructive bolts of lightning.
Eriku gritted his teeth, purple evil light bloomed in his eyes, and his entire face became ferocious, looking like a malicious ghost.
The next second, he lowered both hands and locked onto Goku on the arena. The smile on his face also became increasingly ferocious and sinister at this moment.
"Goku! You should be able to feel the terror of this move. You will have nowhere to run!" Eriku smiled confidently and coldly, confidently believing that he had Goku cornered this time.
Little did he know that, in Goku's eyes, this guy had already exposed his greatest weakness.
"You have a body full of power but don't know how to use it. You really are a failure as a fused warrior. Since you want to end the battle, I'll grant your wish!" Goku smiled confidently. Divine Power surged around him, expanding rapidly like a galaxy, brilliant and dazzling.
Divine Power surged rapidly. Judging from the explosive growth rate, Goku truly intended to decide the outcome in one move.
Immediately afterward, this erupting Divine Power rapidly withdrew. Powerful divine pressure collided with Eriku's God of Destruction might, shooting destructive lightning through space.
The entire arena trembled, and even the entire World of Void was affected!
"You think I'll let you succeed? Naive!" Eriku grinned. With a thought, the God of Destruction Power lingering around his body was drawn out, turning into Destruction Rays that descended from the sky and attacked Goku.
Facing this dense energy rain bombardment, Goku had no fear at all. Ultra Instinct allowed him to perfectly dodge all the attacks.
His figure moved across every corner of the arena as fast as lightning, dodging the bombardment of Destruction Rays while condensing his sure-kill technique.
After more than ten seconds of contest, more than half of the arena was swept by the flames of the explosions. In an instant, smoke filled the air and rubble flew everywhere.
Goku's energy sure-kill was still a little short of condensing, but Eriku's sure-kill technique had already condensed into form at this time.
"You're finished!!! Goku!!!" Eriku roared loudly. The deep-purple lightning Destruction Ball in his hands had already condensed to the extreme.
The instant his words fell, an Ultimate Destruction Ray with boundless destructive power and a diameter of a full thousand meters shot violently from his palm.
With such a wide-range destructive attack, no matter how fast Goku was, he could not completely avoid it.
"Has it come?" Goku gazed at the Ultimate Destruction Ray charging straight toward him from midair.
Just as this energy was about to hit him, Goku moved.
He used Instant Transmission, perfectly avoiding this Ultimate Destruction Ray.
The arena beneath his feet was struck directly by this Destruction Ray.
'RUMBLE~~!!!!!'
The power of the explosion was terrifying to the extreme. A corner of this massive spinning-top arena was directly erased by more than a hundred meters.
"You deserved that. This is the result of looking down on me. So what if you have Ultra Instinct?! Before the power of a God of Destruction, you are still just as fragile." Eriku smiled proudly, completely unaware that danger had already arrived.
"Are you so certain that I was hit?" Goku's voice sounded from Eriku's right side.
Hearing this, the smile on Eriku's face abruptly stopped. He suddenly turned his head and saw that Goku had somehow arrived at his right side.
"You guy... When did you get here!!" All the hairs on Eriku's body stood up, and a chill swept from the soles of his feet throughout his body.
At such a close distance, he could not dodge!
"It's over... Tenfold Kamehameha!" Goku pushed both hands forward, and the deep-red energy pillar condensed from pure Divine Power swallowed Eriku's body like a torrent.
The powerful Divine Power completely shattered the God of Destruction Power around him, seeping into every pore of his body and carrying out deep destruction.
The pain of his flesh being ravaged swept over him. The pair of Potara earrings enhanced by Angel Power also cracked under the destruction of this Divine Power.
"Impossible!!!" Eriku let out a desperate roar in his final moments.
Unfortunately, his defeat was already decided.
As the Potara earrings collapsed, Eriku ceased to exist, separating once again into Kuri and Eric.
Goku held back at the critical moment, only blasting Kuri and Eric off the arena without taking their lives.
After eliminating the two, Goku slowly descended from the sky and adjusted his breathing rhythm.
The attack combining Instant Transmission with Tenfold Kamehameha consumed a great deal of stamina.
However, now was not the time to relax.
The battle just now had only been a small skirmish. Next, the true battle was about to begin.
At this moment, the arena where fierce battles continued once again entered a brief dead silence.
Because Goku had eliminated all contestants from Universe 12, the second God of Destruction was about to appear!
...
On the spectator area.
"Hehe, that guy Giin must be about to die of anger now. That's what you get for always pretending all the time. Now look, you've become the second God of Destruction to enter." God of Destruction Quitela mocked.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Giin fight in many years. I wonder how strong he is? If he becomes the first God of Destruction to lose to a mortal, that would be far too embarrassing." God of Destruction Belmod said sarcastically.
"Goku with Ultra Instinct isn't weak either. I wonder how Giin will deal with him. Hopefully he won't be knocked down, otherwise the Gods of Destruction will lose all face." God of Destruction Arak stroked his beard and chuckled softly.
...
The Gods of Destruction discussed among themselves, all waiting for God of Destruction Giin to act and suppress Goku.
"That brat Goku did fairly well. Unfortunately, this is as far as he goes..." Beerus let out a long sigh, feeling regretful.
Goku was very strong and had shown the spirit of Universe 7.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, if Goku wanted to defeat God of Destruction Giin from the front, he was still lacking.
If it were his peak state, it would be a different matter, but the problem was that he had already consumed so much.
"Goku has also been looking forward to this battle for a long time. Perhaps he will do something unexpected." Whis replied.
"Let's watch. No matter what, our Universe 7 is now the strongest universe! No universe can compare to us eliminating two universes in one breath!" Beerus said.
...
The gazes of all Gods of Destruction focused on Universe 12's God of Destruction Giin.
At this moment, Giin's face was gloomy, and dense God of Destruction Power permeated around him. A malice that made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts spread out.
Too embarrassing!
Everyone from Universe 12 had been eliminated by one Saiyan, and they had even lost after using Potara earrings to transform into a God of Destruction.
Where was he, this God of Destruction, supposed to put his face?!
The contestants of Universe 12 beside him trembled. They sensed killing intent from Giin.
They were afraid that because of this failure, God of Destruction Giin would ruthlessly kill them.
However, anger was anger. Giin was also a god who understood reason. He was very clear about how troublesome Ultra Instinct was and would not vent his anger on the others.
