This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 477: The Victor’s Reward

"Ahhhhhhh—!"

Disintegrating, Son Goku and Vegeta were teleported back to the spectator stands, both screaming as they crashed down into Universe 7's camp.

"Universe 7's contestant Son Goku—eliminated."

"Universe 7's contestant Vegeta—eliminated."

"With this, the Tournament of Power across all universes has officially come to an end. And the final victor is—"

"Universe 13!"

The Grand Priest announced from the floating platform, and the entire arena, finally snapping out of its daze, erupted into an uproar.

What an unpredictable and dramatic battle it had been. Everyone thought that Ultra Instinct Gogeta, having unleashed his full potential, would finally defeat Yuujin. But in the end, Yuujin erupted once more and suppressed him—ultimately securing victory for Universe 13!

"So it really... really ended like this."

"It's over. It's truly over now."

Some were in awe, some in shock, and others in confusion. The reactions across the universes were mixed.

At that moment, in Universe 7's camp—

"Dad! Vegeta-san!"

Gohan and the others rushed over to help Goku and Vegeta up.

After the relentless battles, the two of them looked battered, bruised, and utterly disheveled.

"Sorry, everyone… We didn't think we'd still lose in the end."

"Ha… hahahaha…"

Scratching his head, Goku gave an apologetic and sheepish smile, while Vegeta pounded the ground in frustration.

"Damn it!!!"

They had made it so far. They had already gained the upper hand. But in the very end, his and Kakarot's fusion still lost!

Damn it all!!!!!!!

"We lost. Goku and Vegeta's fusion, the ultimate Ultra Instinct—we lost everything…"

"Who could've imagined this would happen? Who would've thought that Yuujin, in that form, could still use Kaio-Ken…"

Beerus clutched his head, and Whis let out a deeply regretful sigh.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They were so close to seeing the light of victory. They were mere steps away from winning—only to have it all crushed at the very end!

And what was even harder for Beerus and Whis to accept was that even Gogeta, who had unleashed the ultimate form of Ultra Instinct, actually lost to something as seemingly basic as Kaio-Ken!

Sure, Kaio-Ken was indeed powerful—but it was, after all, a technique developed by a lower-tier Kai. How could it possibly compare to a supreme technique like Ultra Instinct?

Yet facts were facts. Gogeta lost, and Ultra Instinct lost!

But in contrast to Universe 7's gloom and despair, Chi-Chi, Goteno, and the other girls were bursting with joy, all leaping back onto the shattered remains of the arena.

"Yuujin!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Not only Chi-Chi and Gokumi, but Buu, Super 18, and the rest of the girls also landed in front of Yuujin, their faces overflowing with excitement and happiness.

"Yuujin, we won!"

"Yeah, we won."

Yuujin gently patted Gokumi's forehead and smiled.

Even though it was he who defeated Gogeta, and he who beat Jiren, this was not a victory that belonged to him alone—it belonged to all of them!

Though the Tournament of Power only lasted 100 tacks—just 48 minutes—it felt like an eternity to everyone involved. Each universe's battles were filled with twists and turns, and the surprises were too many to count.

But without a doubt, it had been an extraordinarily brilliant tournament. Yuujin and the others had never fought so satisfyingly in their lives!

"Silence."

The Grand Priest's voice rang out again, and the noisy arena instantly quieted.

"As the final victors of the Tournament of Power, Universe 13 shall receive the Super Dragon Balls as their reward."

The Grand Priest smiled at Yuujin and the others, then waved his hand. Massive Dragon Balls, each the size of a planet, began to appear—seven in total—surrounding Yuujin and his team.

"Those are the Super Dragon Balls?!"

"So… so huge!"

The girls were all stunned, and even Yuujin couldn't help but click his tongue in awe.

These Super Dragon Balls were just ridiculously enormous!

"That's right. These are the Super Dragon Balls from Universe 6 and Universe 7. They can summon the legendary Super Shenron and grant any wish across all universes."

"As the victors of this tournament, you have the right to make one wish to Super Shenron. No matter what your wish is—it can be granted."

The Grand Priest gave a simple explanation as he spoke.

"Any wish can be granted?"

"Hey hey, Master, Master, let's wish for tons and tons of delicious food!"

Eyes sparkling, Buu Buu said with hopeful excitement.

Chi-Chi and the other girls burst into laughter, while Yuujin lightly bonked Buu on the forehead—

"All you think about is eating. Don't I already give you good food?"

Using the precious Super Dragon Balls just to wish for tasty treats—only a glutton like Buu could come up with that.

No, not just Buu—even Goteno seemed tempted by the idea…

Smiling as he watched Yuujin and the others, the Grand Priest's expression suddenly turned cold—

"Except for the victorious Universe 13, all other losing universes will be erased!"

Though everyone had already known this moment was coming, when the Grand Priest actually made the announcement, cries of despair instantly echoed across the defeated universes:

"So in the end… we're still going to be erased."

"No! We don't want to be erased, Grand Zeno-sama!"

"Damn it, it's so frustrating!"

"Well… if this is our fate, then let us accept it with dignity."

The reactions to impending erasure varied from universe to universe.

Some were panicked and hopeless, some sighed in resignation, some shouted in defiance—and some accepted it calmly and without fear…

Even the lofty gods—when faced with erasure and annihilation—were no different from ordinary mortals!

"Dad…"

In Universe 7's camp, Gohan looked pale.

"It's a shame… but Gohan, don't be afraid."

Goku patted Gohan on the shoulder as he spoke.

Looking at his father, Gohan seemed to regain some courage and nodded firmly.

"Lord Beerus, aren't you going to yell at us like usual?"

Looking toward Beerus, Goku chuckled.

"Hah… I don't even have the strength to yell at you anymore."

Waving his hand, Beerus replied dispiritedly.

He understood—his fighters had already done their best. Especially Goku and Vegeta, who had repeatedly pushed past their limits and unleashed power beyond imagination.

It wasn't that his team hadn't worked hard—it was that their opponents this time were far too strong!

And yet, even in this atmosphere of tragic despair, the Grand Priest remained utterly unmoved. He respectfully looked up toward the two Zenos seated in the palace—

"Grand Zeno-sama, you may now proceed to erase all the defeated universes."

"Okay~!"

With a cheerful reply, both Zenos happily raised their tiny arms, and immediately—every losing universe was enveloped in a glowing light…
