Chapter 428: Yuujin vs. Jiren (Part 3)
Chapter 428: Yuujin vs. Jiren (Part 3)
"Jiren, even you are not absolutely invincible."
"So? The taste of the Tenfold Kamehameha isn't too bad, is it?"
With a smirk, Yuujin stared directly at Jiren across from him as he spoke.
But in his heart, Yuujin couldn't help but be amazed—Super Saiyan 4 empowered with Hundredfold Kaioken delivering a Tenfold Kamehameha, and yet it only caused Jiren a moderate injury, neither too light nor too heavy.
Jiren… what a terrifying monster!!!
"Yuujin the Saiyan… I acknowledge you," Jiren said, letting out a soft breath as he closed his eyes. "You're worthy of being my opponent."
But in the very next instant, when Jiren opened his eyes again, his entire presence turned chillingly sharp and ruthless.
"But—"
"This ends now!"
In the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of Yuujin and launched a punch.
Yuujin's pupils shrank sharply as he instinctively tried to block—but Jiren's punch was too heavy. Even though Yuujin managed to defend, he still grunted from the impact, his body shooting back like a meteor, crashing through slabs of thundersteel on the arena—boom, boom, boom!
But Jiren wasn't done. He blitzed forward and unleashed a flurry of blows—bam, bam, bam—striking Yuujin over a dozen times. Then with a kick, he sent Yuujin flying skyward, before flashing above and driving his elbow down, slamming Yuujin back to the ground once again.
BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!
Even Yuujin couldn't help but cry out in pain, his body smashing into the ground and creating a massive crater, which continued to grow and expand!
His Super Saiyan 4 transformation deactivated, and the intense pain nearly caused Yuujin to lose consciousness. Meanwhile, Jiren calmly landed on the ground with his arms crossed.
The entire arena fell into dead silence once again. The shock was so overwhelming, many had forgotten to breathe!
"Hahahaha!!!"
"You all saw it, didn't you? That is Jiren's true power!"
The God of Destruction from Universe 11, Belmod, was the first to recover and laughed heartily.
A chorus of gasps followed as others finally snapped out of their daze.
From the earlier exchange, they'd thought Yuujin might actually fight Jiren on equal footing—even if he couldn't win, he might at least drag Jiren down with him. That way, the other universes could benefit.
But now the reality was clear—Yuujin couldn't win. Just like Son Goku and Hit before him, he wasn't a match for Jiren either.
Jiren... remained invincible!!!
"Hah... hah..."
Face pale, Yuujin panted heavily as he struggled to push himself up from the crater.
Even he felt lingering fear—those attacks from Jiren might've seemed simple, but each one carried the power to shatter galaxies. If not for the Super Saiyan 4 form's iron body, and the massive defensive boost from Hundredfold Kaioken, any single blow from earlier might've killed him!
This terrifying monster!!!
"Now you understand," Jiren said, calmly gazing down at Yuujin in the pit. "You, Son Goku—it doesn't matter. None of you are my match."
"Stop wasting your efforts. Just jump off the stage yourself."
He acknowledged that both Yuujin and Goku were qualified to be his opponents, worthy enough to make him use real power.
But that was all!
"Though it's frustrating, if I can't even accept my own weakness and defeat, then I'd be nothing more than a coward."
"Jiren, I acknowledge your strength… and I admit I'm not your match."
"But—"
"I never said I was going to give up!"
Slowly rising to his feet, Yuujin's expression was filled with unshakable resolve.
"Still planning to struggle pointlessly?"
Jiren raised an eyebrow.
"Pointless? No... not in the slightest."
"This isn't just a duel between you and me—it's a war between our universes for survival."
"It's not just me fighting you—my comrades, my family are here too."
As Yuujin spoke, a small smile curled at the corner of his lips:
"Look—they've arrived."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gokumi, Chi-Chi, Vegea, Broly, Sharuru, Android 18, Dark 18, Buu, and Android 21 all flashed into the sky. Each woman held a glowing energy sphere in her hands, and together they fired toward Jiren—
"Kamehameha!"
"Final Shine Attack!"
Even Jiren's expression shifted slightly. With a low grunt, he burst forth with energy, forming a shield to block the incoming blasts from the women.
Though they hadn't used their full power, their combined assault was still tremendously overwhelming. However, it failed to deal any real damage to Jiren—only forcing him to slide back several dozen meters across the ground.
The girls hadn't expected this attack to defeat Jiren. It was just an opening move—a greeting, so to speak. After the blast, they ceased their assault and descended to Yuujin's side.
"Yuujin, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Chi-Chi and the others looked at him with concern. Yuujin gestured to reassure them—though the pain had been intense, he had already recovered.
"Everyone, be ready."
"From here on, we face the strongest, most terrifying enemy we've ever encountered—the monster among monsters!"
"Yeah!!!"
Despite already witnessing Jiren's overwhelming power, none of the women backed down. Their eyes burned with battle spirit.
Looking again at Jiren, a smile formed on Yuujin's face as he transformed back into Super Saiyan 4.
"Jiren… from this moment on, it's no longer a duel between you and me—it's a battle between you and Universe 13!"
No longer holding anything back, Yuujin and the girls unleashed their full power. A terrifying aura surged skyward, shaking the entire arena—and even the Void Realm itself—with violent tremors!
"Ahhh… aaahhhh…"
"What… what terrifying energy!"
"This is the true power of Universe 13?!"
Everyone—fighters and gods alike—were in utter shock. Yuujin's ability to fight Jiren had already been astonishing enough, but even that didn't compare to the overwhelming pressure they felt now.
The strength of Universe 13 didn't lie with Yuujin alone—it was every single one of them!
Even those like Chi-Chi and Android 18, though slightly weaker than the others, could be considered ace-level fighters in Universes 4 or 10!
"Tch, trash is still trash! No matter how many of them there are, they'll never defeat Jiren!"
Belmod, his face twisted with fury, spat the words.
Even he now sensed the looming threat—but his pride refused to accept it.
"I'm actually starting to feel uneasy…"
"Although we already sensed that Universe 13 was formidable, we may have grossly underestimated them."
"Even Jiren might find it difficult to win against this many powerful opponents at once."
Angel Marcarita spoke, her tone grave.
Clenching his fists, Belmod knew things were worse than he'd thought. After hesitating for a moment, he finally set aside his useless arrogance, stood up, and shouted toward the arena:
"Toppo! Dyspo! What are you two standing around for?! Hurry up and help Jiren!"
"You are absolutely not allowed to lose to those Universe 13 bastards—absolutely not!"
"Yes, Lord Belmod!"
To be continued…
