"Gokumi, didn't you promise Son Goku that you'd have a real fight with him? Then he's your opponent."
"Okay, okay!"
Yuujin spoke to Gokumi, and she happily responded.
"Vegea, you go handle Vegeta."
"You're our Saiyan Princess, after all. Don't go losing to that prince on the other side."
Yuujin then turned to Vegea with a teasing smile on his face.
With a cold snort, Vegea imdiately transford into a Super Saiyan 4 and shot toward Vegeta below.
"Sharuru, your opponent is still Frieza."
"Killing isn't allowed in this tournant, so do whatever you want — just don't let him die."
Gazing at Frieza, Yuujin smiled brightly as he spoke again.
"As you command, my master."
Licking her lips, Sharuru transford into her Super Golden form, wearing a twisted, dark smile.
Although Frieza was a wicked and cruel being, in truth, Yuujin was sowhat thankful to him.
In their universe, it was precisely because Frieza had intended to destroy Planet Vegeta that Yuujin got the chance to escape from the hellish prison he was confined in. Later, during the invasion of Earth, it was also thanks to Frieza's help that both he and Gokumi were able to transform into Super Saiyans.
After that, Frieza, along with his father and brother, were turned into bio-batteries — and for all these years, they had been silently serving Yuujin and his allies.
Yes, he was evil, he was cruel, and he was despicable — practically the embodint of the word "villain" — but to Yuujin, the whole Frieza family had been pretty great!
Hmm… decision made. If the opportunity arises, he'll turn this Golden Frieza from Universe 7 into a battery as well. That way, Launch's expeditionary fleet will get another Golden Frieza-class warship.
Perhaps sensing sothing, Frieza, below the Pillar of Ti, suddenly shivered for no reason and glanced around, seeing nothing unusual.
With a cold hum, the grim-eyed Frieza resud scheming silently in his heart.
His strength wasn't particularly outstanding among the final contenders of this Tournant of Power — in fact, he was barely above the bottom. It was an infuriating truth, but a truth nonetheless. So if he wanted to survive, he had to resort to any ans necessary.
Those lofty gods… those damn Saiyans… one day, he would make them kneel at his feet, wagging their tails like dogs, completely enslaved!
Well, whether that dream would ever co true or not… for now, Emperor Frieza remained as ambitious and evil as ever.
"Super 18, you'll go up against Universe 7's Android 17."
With Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharuru already assigned opponents, Yuujin now turned to Super 18.
"Why do I have to fight that guy? How boring."
Crossing her arms, Super 18 was clearly uninterested in Universe 7's Android 17.
In terms of raw combat power, Android 17 from Universe 7 wasn't anything particularly special. Among the remaining contestants, he was basically scraping the bottom. However, as an android with unlimited energy and no stamina issues, he had a major advantage in this tournant.
Still, he was an android — and so was Super 18. In fact, even before her fusion, neither the original 18 nor Dark 18 were inferior to him.
If Super 18 went all out, the only outco for Android 17 would be utter annihilation.
"Well, he's got so strength, at least."
"There aren't many opponents left, so just make do, alright?"
Stroking Super 18's cheek, Yuujin smiled.
"Compensate ."
Unmoved, Super 18 replied calmly.
Chuckling inwardly, Yuujin didn't say another word — instead, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
"K-KISS!!!"
In the spectator stands, Son Gohan's face turned beet red on the spot. Krillin and others were flustered and jealous, while several gods and contestants from other universes looked on with clear disdain.
Damn Universe 13… After defeating the strongest, Universe 11, now you're just lazing around?
This is the climactic finale that decides the fate of all universes, not your personal rom-com mont!
"There. Happy now?"
Naturally unfazed by others' opinions, Yuujin released Super 18 only after a long, passionate kiss.
"B-Barely…"
A light blush blood on her beautiful face as Super 18 turned her head away, then leapt down from the Pillar of Ti.
"So this is what my two alternate-universe sisters are like. But it seems I've been rejected…"
Clearly having seen everything from atop the Pillar, Android 17 smiled at Super 18 as she landed before him.
"Hmph. Glad you understand."
"I'm not in the mood to play with you. Now get off the ring!"
With a cold snort and an icy glare, Super 18 raised her hand and fired a barrage of energy blasts toward 17.
"Love… this must be love…"
Inside the energy prison atop the Pillar of Ti, having witnessed Yuujin and Super 18's kiss, Briann, Kakunsa, Rozie, Bikal, Rylibeu, and Caway all had starry-eyed expressions, their faces filled with dreamy longing.
Yuujin's mouth twitched. No need to ask — clearly a bunch of hopeless romantics!
"Buu, 21 — you two go play with that big guy."
Ignoring the lovestruck prisoners, Yuujin turned to Buu-Buu and 21.
Everyone else had already been assigned opponents, so the last remaining fighter — the fusion warrior Aniraza from Universe 3 — was left for them.
"Yay, yay! Let's go play, 21!"
"Ugh, what a hassle…"
Buu bounced happily, while 21 grumbled but still transford into her Majin form, face turning dark and savage. Together, the two leapt toward Aniraza.
At this point, all the girls had been matched with their opponents — Vegea and Super 18 had even begun their battles.
Yuujin, anwhile, dispelled his Super Saiyan 5 form and sat down, taking the role of spectator.
Only about ten minutes remained in the Tournant of Power. With the strongest team, Universe 11, already defeated, Universe 13 now had a decisive advantage in both numbers and strength. Victory was rely a matter of ti.
Still, in this tournant where everyone was pushing past their limits, miracles could happen at any mont. And Yuujin was eager for them — eager for the other universes' fighters to pull off so miraculous coback, eager for an opponent worthy enough to make him fight again.
Well, even if the chances were slim…
To be continued…
