This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 430: The Exploding Jiren

Boom!! Boom boom boom!!!

On the arena, the fierce battle between Jiren and Yuujin, along with the many women like Gokumi, was still raging intensely.

Jiren was the most terrifying monster on this stage—this was a fact acknowledged by everyone.

But the idea that Jiren was invincible and undefeated had already begun to be doubted.

Under the combined assault of Yuujin and the women including Gokumi, the mighty and seemingly unbeatable Jiren was actually being suppressed!

As the saying goes, even two fists can't hold back four hands, and a hero can't withstand a crowd. That was exactly the awkward predicament Jiren now found himself in.

Normally, a powerhouse like Jiren could crush even billions or tens of billions of opponents with ease.

But it depends on who those opponents are!

Jiren wasn't facing some common cannon-fodder extras here—he was facing a pack of true tigers.

Yuujin, Gokumi, Vegea, and Broly were holding Jiren off head-on, while Chi-Chi, Sharuru, Buu, Android 21, and Super 18 were seizing every opportunity to launch attacks against him.

At first, the damage to Jiren was minimal. But little by little, it accumulated, and eventually even the mighty and invincible Jiren became battered and bruised!

As Jiren's injuries worsened and his energy grew weaker, the attacks from Yuujin and the women only intensified. Buuu and 21, relying on their abnormal regeneration abilities, repeatedly unleashed self-detonating attacks against Jiren!

Even someone as cold and aloof as Jiren was now being blasted to the point of utter misery, shrieking in agony. Whether it was the other contestants or the gods watching from the stands, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Universe 13—what a terrifying group of monsters!

Cruel? Maybe. Unfair? Perhaps.

But this wasn't a one-on-one duel—this was a war for the survival of entire universes.

It was Jiren who chose to fight alone. It was Jiren who refused help from his comrades.

So he couldn't blame Yuujin and the others for using their numbers against him.

Their siege would not end until Jiren was completely defeated!

"Universe 13!!!"

As Yuujin and the women relentlessly launched ki blasts at Jiren, Jiren finally fought back in earnest. With a single punch, a red shockwave blasted upward, then expanded like an umbrella into waves of fire exploding through the air.

Yuujin and the women cried out in pain, but quickly steadied themselves, eyes flashing coldly.

"Don't stop—keep going!!"

With both hands clasped, Yuujin slammed a massive energy ball at Jiren, and Gokumi and the other women fired wave after wave of powerful energy blasts at him again.

Boom boom!!

"Keep going!"

Boom boom boom!!!

"Keep going, keep going!!"

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!

"Keep going, keep going, keep going!!!"

Jiren tried to counterattack over and over, but was suppressed again and again by Yuujin and his team.

Jiren, don't blame us. For our universe, for our homes, for everything we hold dear and protect—even if you are the heaven-defying Jiren, today we will suppress you, suppress you, suppress you!

Once, twice, three times…

Ten times, twenty times, thirty times…

Finally, amid everyone's wide-eyed disbelief, the mighty Jiren was forcefully dragged down from his pedestal of invincibility by Yuujin and his team. Amid the intense bombardment, he crashed to the ground!

"Ah… Ahhhh…"

"Ji-Jiren… Jiren has been defeated…"

"No way! That's impossible!"

No one could believe it—especially Universe 11's God of Destruction, Belmod, who lost control and roared out loud.

Jiren was supposed to be absolutely invincible, no matter who the opponent or enemy was.

But why?

Why… could even someone as powerful as you fall, Jiren!?

Yet the facts were the facts—it had happened right before everyone's eyes.

Jiren had fallen!!!

"Hah… hah…"

Faces pale, Yuujin and the women landed on the ground, panting heavily.

Except for Super 18 and Buuu, who had infinite energy and stamina, Yuujin and the others were all massively drained.

But it was worth it—they had defeated Jiren!

"Jiren, even though this wasn't a fair fight for you, I'm sorry. This is the end for you."

"If your universe isn't destroyed, and if we meet again someday, let's have a true one-on-one match."

As a warrior, Yuujin deeply admired an opponent like Jiren and truly wished for a solo showdown with him.

But right now, they had to win the Tournament of Power!

Condensing a ki blast in his hand, Yuujin prepared to deliver the final blow and blast Jiren off the stage.

But just at that moment—

"Stop, Universe 13!"

"Jiren, we're coming to help you!"

The voices of Toppo and Dyspo echoed out as the two shot toward Yuujin's group from afar.

Even though Jiren had previously refused their help, wanting to fight alone, now that he was on the verge of being blasted off the stage, they could no longer sit still.

"We won't let you interfere!"

"Damn woman, get out of the way!"

Sharuru and Super 18 stepped in to block the two, and though Toppo and Dyspo were furious and anxious, they simply didn't have the power to break through their defense in a short time.

Ignoring Toppo and Dyspo, Yuujin continued gathering energy to blast Jiren off the stage.

A monster like Jiren was just too dangerous. Only by knocking him out could Yuujin truly be at ease.

However—

"Power is justice… Power is absolute…"

Battered and covered in wounds, Jiren trembled as he slowly stood up from the rubble.

"Jiren, you still won't give up? You don't even have the strength to fight us anymore."

Yuujin frowned.

But Jiren didn't hear him at all—he was completely immersed in overwhelming sorrow and pain.

He remembered it all—in the moment he was knocked down by Yuujin and the others, the memories had come flooding back.

He remembered his parents, murdered by villains. He remembered his master, also slaughtered. He remembered the betrayal of his former companions!

"I won't lose again. I won't be treated that cruelly ever again!"

"Power is justice! Power is absolute!!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

Suddenly raising his head, Jiren let out a deafening roar.

Flame-like energy erupted from Jiren's body, and his previously weakened aura suddenly began to surge and recover at an astonishing rate!

"No! This is bad!"

"Hurry! Blast him off the stage!!!"

Yuujin and the women's expressions changed dramatically. They quickly unleashed a barrage of ki blasts and energy waves at Jiren, trying to end it before he could rise again.

But it was already too late!

A burst of shockwave scattered all their attacks. Jiren reappeared once more.

His energy blazed around him like fire—though still covered in wounds, the terrifying power surging from his body made everyone's hearts pound with fear.

In the face of desperation, Jiren had exploded… and become even stronger than before!!!

To be continued…
