"And this is Ribrianne after her transformation."
Another image flickered onto the cosmic screen, revealing a stout, corpulent figure with a physique reminiscent of a bloated demon. This was a far cry from the goddess-like beauty she had displayed moments ago! The sight sent a shockwave through the countless onlookers across the multiverse, especially the perverts whose eyes had been glued to the screen; they nearly coughed up blood in pure disbelief. They simply could not reconcile the fact that the radiant maiden from before could become so physically jarring after transforming.
"However, in the unique context of Universe 2, Ribrianne's base form is considered quite unattractive," the narration continued. "Only after her transformation is she viewed as a true goddess. But what about the warriors from other universes? How do they perceive this beauty?"
The video shifted to the heat of battle, showing the transformed Ribrianne engaging the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta. Ribrianne initiated her 'Hell Roll' technique, curling into a massive sphere and hurtling toward her opponent. Originally, Vegeta had been powering up a Ki blast to intercept her, but as she drew closer, the sight of her face caught him off guard. Vegeta actually covered his mouth, looking as though he were on the verge of retching. The sheer aesthetic revulsion forced him to cancel his attack and leap aside just to stay away from her.
In other words, Ribrianne's 'goddess' form was so unbearable that even the hardened Prince of all Saiyans couldn't stand to look at her! Across the dimensions, viewers felt a surge of genuine sympathy for Vegeta. They understood his hesitation perfectly; after all, if they were in his boots, they wouldn't want to touch such a face either.
Was the aesthetic sense of Universe 2 truly the complete opposite of the norm?
"It must be said that Universe 2 possesses a truly singular perspective on beauty," the narrator noted with a touch of tact. "We cannot say their taste is 'wrong,' as aesthetics are subjective. It can only be described as unique."
Deep within Universe 2, however, the inhabitants and their God of Destruction, Helles, saw no issue. To them, Ribrianne's transformed state was the pinnacle of elegance! If others found her ugly, it was simply because they lacked the refinement to appreciate true love and beauty. They even marveled at the three male fighters who had donned the feminine battle attire of Ribrianne's squad, finding them equally sparkling and magnificent.
The commentary section of the multiverse broadcast began to explode with reactions.
Monkey D. Luffy stared at the screen with a look of pure confusion, while Garp's voice boomed over the feed: "I can't take it anymore! I never thought that at my age, I'd witness such a ghastly sight! Those two burly men are one thing, but that old man with the white whiskers wearing women's clothing? If Sengoku ever tried that, I'd punch him into the next ocean!"
"What are you talking about, you idiot!" Sengoku's voice fired back, filled with rage. "How could I possibly wear something like that!"
Duanmu Yan sighed, shaking his head. "Universe 2 is definitely on another level. They actually find this beautiful."
"I don't understand it, but I suppose I respect the confidence," Zhang Chulan added, his mouth twitching.
Kurosaki Ichigo chimed in, thinking of his own Bankai. "Transformation is supposed to be about growth. Whether it's Son Goku and the other Saiyans reaching Super Saiyan or any other power-up, your strength increases and your presence usually becomes more imposing and sharp. But this Universe 2 style... it's abstract, to say the least."
His comment resonated with every warrior who relied on transformations. Usually, a new form meant a more heroic or terrifying silhouette, but the three men in women's clothing now gracing the screen were giving everyone nightmares.
"Wait, look at the field," Zhang Chulan pointed out, shifting the mood. "Universe 6 only has two fighters left, and they're cornered by Gohan and Piccolo. Meanwhile, Universe 2's final three have targeted Son Goku."
Duanmu Yan nodded, his eyes narrowing with the tactical precision of a seasoned fighter. "I see it. Two more universes are about to be erased by the powerhouses of Universe 7."
"Hmph! Don't count us out yet!" Champa roared from the sidelines of the void. "Gohan and Piccolo might not be a match for the hidden strength of our two Namekians!"
Helles joined in, her voice full of conviction. "And our warriors will surely be the ones to eliminate Son Goku! Love will prevail!"
Despite their protests, the tension on the screen told a different story. In the video, Son Goku was momentarily suppressed by the coordinated assault of Universe 2's trio. However, the tide turned as Android 17 and Android 18 arrived, flanking Goku to balance the scales.
Simultaneously, the battle for Universe 6 reached its fever pitch. Gohan engaged the two Namekians in a fierce melee, his Ki flaring as he bought precious seconds for his mentor. Behind him, Piccolo stood motionless, his fingers pressed to his forehead as he channeled a massive amount of Ki into a final, piercing technique.
The stakes were absolute. If the challengers won, Universe 7 would lose five core members in one sweep. But if the Z-Warriors held their ground, two entire realities would vanish from existence.
The climax arrived. The three male fighters of Universe 2 gathered their resolve, unleashing a forbidden combined technique. Helles noted that even the Kamikaze Fireballs had never successfully performed this move. They manifested a massive 'Black Heart' of concentrated energy, dropping it like a heavy shroud over Goku and the Androids.
The gravity within the heart was suffocatingâa literal weight of 'heavy love' designed to crush the spirit and the body alike. But beneath that crushing pressure, the three Universe 7 warriors didn't falter. Goku, 17, and 18 synchronized their Ki, unleashing a combined shockwave that roared upward like a golden pillar of defiance.
The sheer force of their unity shattered the black heart into fragments of light. The explosion didn't just dismantle the attack; it sent the three Universe 2 fighters soaring off the edge of the arena and into the abyss of the spectator stands. Their time was up.
