This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 436: Super Saiyan 5 (Part 1)

"Jiren!"

"Saiyan!"

"Damn Universe 13, accept reality and admit defeat already!"

"You're the ones who should be admitting defeat!"

On the arena, Universe 13 and Universe 11 once again broke into an intense battle.

This time, not only was Jiren involved, but Toppo and Dyspo had also joined in.

Super Saiyan 4 Gokumi and Vegea, Sharuru in her Super Golden Form, and Super 18 were all fighting against Jiren, while Buu and the Majin-transformed 21 were fighting against Toppo and Dyspo.

Although Toppo and Dyspo had some strength, they weren't much of a threat—the real opponent for everyone remained Jiren.

Although they had previously been severely wounded by Yuujin's group, and had just gone through an exhausting battle with the berserk Broly, the strength difference between the women and Jiren was still enormous.

Even though they attacked over and over again, they were repelled time and time again!

And this time, Yuujin did not join the girls in battle. He merely stood there in place, holding the weakened Broly in his arms.

Many of the other universes' contestants and watching gods couldn't help but mock him—sending his companions to fight while he shrank back in fear? It seemed that Universe 13 had finally reached its end!

"Yuujin..."

In the spectator stands, Chi-Chi stared intently at Yuujin on the arena.

Naturally, unlike the others, she didn't think Yuujin had become timid. Chi-Chi had absolute faith in Yuujin—but even she didn't understand what he was thinking at the moment.

With just Gokumi and Vegea, they simply weren't Jiren's match. At this rate, they really were going to lose.

"Hehehe, there's an opening, an opening!"

"Damn Yuujin, damn Universe 13! You actually imprisoned my companions Rozie and Kakunsa! I'll now gift you a Beautiful Cannon in return!"

Hiding behind a pile of shattered rubble from the Thundersteel Arena, the magical girl warrior Ribrianne from Universe 2 grinned wickedly. Then, forming a heart with both hands, she prepared to launch a sneak attack on the unsuspecting Yuujin.

"Beautiful Canno—"

"Ahhhhh...!"

Just as Ribrianne was about to launch her sneak attack, several ki blasts suddenly shot toward her. With a loud explosion, Ribrianne was blasted away.

"Hmph, what an eyesore."

Clapping her hands, Caulifla snorted coldly from the other side, then shouted toward Yuujin, who was still standing motionless:

"Hey, you bastard Yuujin! What the hell are you doing?! Get your ass in the fight already!"

"You're the man who defeated me, Caulifla! If you lose to someone else, I'll never forgive you!"

"Do you hear me, bastard Yuujin?!"

"Mr. Yuujin, you can do it!"

Not wanting to see Yuujin give up or fall into despair, Kale also shouted loudly in encouragement.

"Che... Caulifla and Kale, those two busybodies."

In the stands, the God of Destruction Champa muttered with some annoyance.

Though he didn't want to admit it, that Yuujin was also a massive threat to Universe 6. If possible, Champa naturally hoped to see him fall off the arena as soon as possible.

"Well, well... Caulifla-san and Kale-san are just two straightforward kids."

"Besides—"

Vados smiled sweetly, helping smooth things over for Caulifla and Kale. Her beautiful eyes also fell upon Yuujin on the arena, as if with hidden meaning.

Though she didn't know what exactly the contestant Yuujin of Universe 13 was planning, Vados didn't believe for a second that he was truly frightened or retreating. On the contrary, Yuujin now resembled a ferocious beast in hibernation—gathering power, awaiting an earth-shattering explosion.

Vados glanced around the surroundings. Sure enough, the other angels and gods of the universes also seemed to be noticing something.

Just as Chi-Chi firmly believed, and just as Vados and the others suspected, Yuujin was certainly not retreating in fear.

At this moment, Yuujin was simply reminiscing about his past!

Although he had the determination to fight to the very last person and never give up, Yuujin knew very well that, with their current power, they couldn't possibly defeat Jiren. Their defeat was only a matter of time.

Hah... what a truly despairing and powerless situation.

Crossing through space and time, Yuujin seemed to return to those years on Planet Vegeta.

Back then, he had been weak and helpless, without the strength to control his fate. Every single day, he had to tread on thin ice—one small misstep, and he'd be doomed for eternity.

But no matter how weak or miserable his situation had been back then, Yuujin never once despaired, because he knew he only had to endure. As long as he endured, he could wait for hope.

And indeed, that was what happened. Taking advantage of the moment when Frieza sought to destroy Planet Vegeta, he finally escaped that hellish prison alongside Gokumi. From then on, the sky was vast, and the ocean wide—he was free like a bird or a fish.

Training alongside Gokumi, growing together, finding more and more companions and family, defeating powerful enemies one after another, building their empire and their paradise—step by step, they had come to where they were today...

Unknowingly, the once destitute him had now gained so much!

Back then, even if he failed, it didn't matter. At worst, he'd die.

But now, he absolutely could not bear the consequences of failure!

If he failed, he would lose everything he had. They—and even their universe—would all be erased.

He would not allow such a thing!

Therefore, he needed power! He needed power!!!

His entire soul was screaming. Never before had Yuujin desired strength as desperately as now.

He needed power. He needed to defeat Jiren. He must become the final victor of this Tournament of Power!

His blood boiled throughout his body. Every nerve trembled. Even his heart pounded with an unparalleled force!

Still cradling the severely weakened Broly, Yuujin slowly stood up.

It was clearly just a simple movement, yet it instantly captured everyone's attention.

"T-this feeling..."

A strange aura began to radiate from Yuujin's body. Everyone felt chills on their scalp—even the lofty gods and angels all turned pale with shock.

"My body—if you still have any hidden power—if there's still a glimmer of hope—then now, at this moment, release it all for me!"

"AAAHHHHHH!!!"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"HAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Though no one knew exactly what was happening, watching Yuujin roar toward the heavens, everyone could sense that something terrifying was awakening. Universe 11's God of Destruction Belmod even leapt up in panic, shouting toward Jiren on the arena:

"Jiren! Stop him! Stop him!!"

In the middle of fighting Gokumi and the others, Jiren naturally noticed what was happening. He instantly burst with energy, blasting them back, and then shot toward Yuujin.

But it was already too late!

A terrifying energy erupted.

Then, centered around Yuujin, a massive pillar of light shot straight into the sky...
