"Next, everyone please listen to the solemn address from the Grand Zeno."
"Everyone, please remain quiet."
Sweeping his gaze across all the contestants on the arena, the Grand Priest on the floating platform continued:
A magnificent palace slowly descended from the sky, and then, holding hands, the present Zeno and the Future Zeno suddenly leapt out of it together.
"Everyone, welco!"
"I've been really looking forward to this grand event. Please do your best, and let's have a lively and exciting tournant!"
Watching the two Zenos dancing and waving excitedly, Yuujin couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, while the girls around Gokumi were all tongue-tied.
To think that the supre rulers of all universes would act like this—there wasn't a shred of overwhelming aura from them. They looked cute and almost baby-like. If they were on Earth, people would probably mistake them for kindergarten toddlers!
"Thank you, Grand Zeno, for your wonderful speech. Next, allow to explain the rules of the tournant."
Bowing respectfully to the two Zenos, the Grand Priest continued:
"The ti limit for this tournant is 100 tacks. The central pillar on the arena will sink as ti passes. When it reaches the ground, the tournant will be declared over."
"During the tournant, no weapons are allowed, and killing opponents is strictly forbidden. A contestant will be eliminated if knocked off the arena."
"However, those who lose the ability to fight and are incapacitated, as long as they don't fall off the arena, are not considered eliminated."
"Also, no floating or flying techniques ant to prevent falling are allowed. But those with wings may still fly."
"Even if your life is in danger, all healing tools or items are absolutely prohibited."
"Finally, if all contestants from a universe are eliminated, that universe will be erased by Grand Zeno!"
"These are the complete rules of the Tournant of Power."
With a solemn face, the Grand Priest finished explaining the rules, and the entire venue imdiately erupted into noisy discussion—
"The rules are simple: no killing, no weapons, no tools. Just knock the other universes' fighters off the arena."
"But if a universe loses all its fighters, it gets erased? That's too cruel."
"There's no helping it. Out of all the participating universes, only one is allowed to survive."
"There's killing intent everywhere… It's so intense!"
Everyone could feel the overwhelming hostility from the other universes. Although the fighting hadn't started yet, the atmosphere had already reached its breaking point.
Satisfied, the Grand Priest nodded, then turned to the two Zenos in the palace:
"Grand Zeno, shall the tournant begin?"
"Mm-hmm! Start! Start now! Let's begin already!"
Both Zenos urged excitedly.
With a slight nod, the Grand Priest looked back toward the contestants on the arena:
"Then, I hereby declare—the Tournant of Power—"
"Officially begins!"
With the Grand Priest's announcent, the charged atmosphere finally exploded, and all the fighters on the arena moved simultaneously.
"Yaaaahhhhh!!!!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Other than teammates from the sa universe, everyone else was an enemy. Energy erupted as chaos broke out, with wild attacks flying everywhere. The entire arena was instantly consud by a storm of raging energy blasts.
The two Zenos in the palace watched wide-eyed, exclaiming continuously in excitent, while the gods in the stands were all sweating nervously as they stared at their own universe's fighters.
"This is getting lively! I'm going to test myself against so of the other universes!"
"Dad! Teamwork—we need to work together!"
"Hmph! You guys take your ti with that."
"Hehehe, I'm going to go have so fun too."
In Universe 7's camp, Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and the others quickly took off, flying into the battlefield in search of opponents. In the blink of an eye, half their team had scattered.
"Our battle strategy..."
As the team leader, Gohan was left dumbfounded. Everyone had agreed to work together as a team, but now most of them had just run off. How were they supposed to coordinate anything now?!
And just as he spoke, Android 17 and 18 also darted off.
"Gohan, don't worry about those guys. This was all expected," Master Roshi consoled him, while Beerus up in the stands clutched his head in despair.
None of these guys followed orders or strategy—this universe really seed dood!
"Hahaha! This is so much fun!"
In Universe 6's camp, Caulifla laughed wildly while firing ki blasts all around her.
"There! I found that bastard!"
"Kale, co with !"
Spotting Yuujin and the others in the distance, Caulifla's eyes lit up, and she exploded with energy as she rushed toward them.
"Big sis, wait for ...!"
A flustered Kale hurried to catch up.
Crack crack crack crack crack!!!
In Universe 13's camp, Yuujin and the girls around Gokumi ford a circle, firing off ki blasts in all directions.
However, everyone in this tournant was a top-tier fighter from their respective universes. Basic attacks like this had little effect. Several universes had already set their sights on Yuujin's group and were closing in rapidly.
"Alright everyone, let's clean up these small fries first."
"Understood!"
"Aaaahhhhhh!!!"
Yuujin shouted, then unleashed his energy along with the girls. A violent surge of power burst out, sending nearby fighters—including the charging Caulifla and Kale—flying with shocked cries.
"Just you wait!!!"
Watching the unwilling Caulifla vanish from sight, Yuujin chuckled. This fiery girl really had her eyes on him.
Hopefully, she had so luck and didn't get blown off the arena from that blast.
After clearing the area, no one dared to approach them for now. Yuujin turned to the girls and said:
"This is a rare chance to be part of such a grand event—go have so fun."
"But don't waste too much energy. The real battles are yet to co. When half the ti is left, let's regroup here."
This tournant's ti limit of 100 tacks equaled about 48 minutes in Earth ti.
The early stages were for clearing weaker opponents. Those who lasted to the second half would mostly be elites. That's when the real fight would begin.
"Gokumi, let's team up."
"Sure, sure!"
"Dark 18, let's go too."
"Yay! Ti to play!"
One by one, the girls around Gokumi took off, leaving only Broly and Android 21 at Yuujin's side.
To be continued...
