This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 426: Yuujin vs Jiren (Part 1)

On the massive arena, the central Pillar of Time rumbled and descended a notch.

"I hereby announce to all present that 50 Tacks have passed out of the 100 Tacks designated for the Tournament of Power."

"Just now, Contestants Jiren, Son Goku, and Hit have presented us with an extraordinary battle. I ask everyone to keep striving and to fight to their fullest before the tournament ends."

Smiling atop the floating platform, the Grand Priest raised his hand, and the entire Null Realm changed colors with it, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense.

However, after witnessing the battle between Jiren and Son Goku and the others, everyone had lost the will to fight like before. One by one, they stood quietly on the arena—no one stepped forward to battle.

With a monster like Jiren present, no matter how much they fought, it would be nothing but a waste of energy.

"Even Goku and that Hit lost…"

"Damn it! Is there really no one left who can fight that bastard?!"

In Universe 7's camp, Beerus looked grim, clenching his fists tightly.

Though he didn't want to admit it, even Goku with his Ultra Instinct had lost. It seemed like there was truly no one left on this arena who could stand against Jiren!

"Lord Beerus, that might not be the case."

"Look over there—a new challenger has stepped up."

Noticing something, Whis pointed and spoke.

Slightly stunned, Beerus quickly looked toward the arena, and then a trace of intrigue involuntarily surfaced on his face.

At the same time, atop the arena—

"Everyone, I'll go and have a little match with that guy."

Saying this to the group of women including Gokumi, Yuujin leapt down from the Pillar of Time, then began walking step by step toward Jiren.

In an instant, all eyes were drawn to him. Once people realized Yuujin's intention, they reacted—some in shock, some with disdain, some with anticipation—

"Those guys from Universe 13 are finally making their move."

"After seeing the defeats of Son Goku and Hit, he still dares to challenge Jiren? How arrogant!"

"Papa, that's Mr. Yuujin!"

"Hohoho… Let me, Lord Frieza, also see if you can stand up to that monster—Saiyan of Universe 13!"

Though everyone's reactions varied, there was no doubt that Yuujin's actions had set everyone's nerves on edge!

As Yuujin walked forward, his aura rose higher and higher—first transforming into Super Saiyan One, then Super Saiyan Two, followed by Super Saiyan Three, and finally Super Saiyan Four.

With each transformation, his aura surged crazily. Though everyone was long familiar with Saiyan transformations, they still couldn't help but be awed.

Saiyans truly are a terrifying race!

But this wasn't the end. Jiren's power was too overwhelming. Even Ultra Instinct Son Goku wasn't his match—Super Saiyan Four alone was far from enough.

So Yuujin had to become even stronger!

Tenfold Kaio-ken!

Twentyfold Kaio-ken!!

Thirtyfold Kaio-ken!!!

To the dumbfounded eyes of the crowd, Yuujin's aura once again skyrocketed to an outrageous degree!

"Universe 13! Jiren is not someone you people can just challenge at will. Don't you get it yet?!"

Universe 11's Dyspo shouted and then shot toward Yuujin to launch an attack.

Without even glancing, Yuujin raised his hand and threw a single punch.

Dyspo let out a miserable cry as he was blasted away, his body smashing through layers of Thundersteel fragments on the arena.

"Justice Flash!!!"

Toppo, standing guard in front of Jiren, tensed up and locked onto Yuujin, launching countless energy blasts at him.

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!!

Even as the energy blasts exploded all over his body, Yuujin couldn't be bothered to react.

Super Saiyan Four already granted an immensely powerful physique. And now, under the amplification of Kaio-ken, Toppo's blasts felt no different from tickles to Yuujin.

"N-No way!"

Disbelieving, Toppo backed off several steps and stopped attacking.

At the same time, Yuujin had already come within about 100 meters of Jiren.

His aura was terrifying to the extreme. The entire arena—and even the Null Realm itself—was trembling violently!

And rightly so, because Yuujin had now powered up to:

Hundredfold Kaio-ken—Super Saiyan Four's Hundredfold Kaio-ken!!!

"Amazing, that Yuujin is amazing…"

Supported by Gohan and Piccolo, Son Goku stared fixedly at Yuujin from afar.

Even he couldn't push Kaio-ken to this extent in his Super Saiyan Blue form. Gokumi, Vegea, Broly, and Yuujin—these Saiyans from Universe 13 were truly strong!

"That guy!"

"Oh my, oh my… he's quite the monster too, isn't he?"

Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, while Frieza, on the other hand, smiled with narrowed eyes.

One after another, they were showing powers far beyond theirs—it was truly infuriating!

Yuujin's display of strength undoubtedly shocked every single contestant on the arena. Even the gods in the spectator stands could no longer maintain their composure—

"Incredible… have human powers truly reached this level?"

"Looks like the battle isn't over yet. The ultimate victor might not be Universe 11 after all."

Originally, it had seemed there was no one left to challenge Jiren, but now everyone saw hope again.

As expected, under everyone's gaze, Jiren ended his meditation, opened his eyes, and descended to the ground.

"State your name."

Awakened by Yuujin's aura, Jiren stared straight at him.

"Universe 13—Yuujin."

Grinning at the corners of his mouth, Yuujin stated his name.

No more words were needed. Their auras clashed, and the entire arena—and even the Null Realm—began shaking more violently.

"Again with those Saiyans!"

"Jiren, defeat him! Show those Saiyans your overwhelming power once and for all!"

Standing up, Universe 11's God of Destruction Belmod shouted in anger.

Son Goku, Yuujin, Saiyans, Saiyans—he was sick of them all!

The tension reached its peak. Without another word, Jiren and Yuujin stepped forward—then simultaneously threw a punch.

It was merely a single punch each, but as their massive punch auras collided mid-air, a fierce windstorm erupted, sending countless energy blades shooting in all directions across the arena!

"Aaaahhhhh!"

Dodging the slashing wind blades, many contestants on the arena cried out in shock.

But this was only the beginning!

"Let's fight, Jiren!!!"

With fighting spirit soaring into the heavens, Yuujin and Jiren exploded with energy and charged straight at each other—

To be continued…
