Chapter 851: A brief fight with Jiren
Chapter 851: A brief fight with Jiren
Not long after the Battle of Gods began, Universe 4 was already eliminated, and with Quitela being knocked off the arena by Beerus, only seven Gods of Destruction remained in the competition.
Five universes were eliminated in such a short amount of time, one can imagine the intensity of the fighting, and it also illustrates the strength of the Gods of Destruction who remained in the arena.
In fact, it’s easy to understand since the masked-man from Universe 1, Bomen from Universe 8, Xiaya from Universe 10 and Jiren from Universe 11 are not simple people, so it’s not surprising that they eliminated other Gods of Destruction. That’s four, plus Beerus eliminating Quitela, which means five Gods of Destruction have been eliminated.
There were a total of twelve Gods of Destruction, and they were divided into six groups to fight, so there is one group whose winner or loser hasn’t been determined yet.
Of course, it’s also possible that the other two Gods of Destruction are just spectating, but it’s unlikely because all God of Destruction know the value of time, and if they don’t defeat the relatively easy opponents at the start, they will miss the opportunity to score points if they encounter a difficult opponent later on.
After defeating Quitela, Beerus took deep breaths, but before he could rest, another figure entered his sight.
“Beerus, you don’t seem to be in very good shape!” Seeing the badly injured appearance of Beerus, the fish-like God of Destruction from Universe 12 revealed his sharp teeth and grinned evilly.
Among the remaining seven Gods of Destruction, the Masked Man from Universe 1 is too mysterious, and the fish-like God of Destruction, “Giin,” does not want to rashly provoke someone whose identity he is unaware of, and Bomen from Universe 8 is quite a ruthless person, and Xiaya from Universe 10 and Jiren from Universe 11 do not seem easy to deal with either. That leaves only the God of Destruction from Universe 5 and Universe 7 as easy targets.
Previously, “Giin” has already clashed with the God of Destruction from Universe 5 and the two were evenly matched. Although he is confident in overwhelming his opponent, he was unable to do so at the moment. Meanwhile, Beerus’ fight has already ended, so Giin, without hesitation, chose to end his fight with the God of Destruction from Universe 5 and chose Beerus who had just fought a bloody battle as his opponent.
The phrase “to take advantage of someone’s precarious situation” became apparent at this moment.
As long as his luck isn’t too bad, Giin has a chance of defeating Beerus, which would earn him 10 points.
Looking at Universe 12’s God of Destruction who suddenly appeared, Beerus’ face turned gloomy and his eyes seemed to emit a cold glare as he coldly said, “Even if I’m not in my best condition, it’s not so easy to defeat me.”
“Hehe, that’s hard to say.”
Giin shook his head and suddenly began to attack without warning. A blood-red light shone in his hand, and countless energy bullets soared into the air like cherry blossoms and attacked Beerus.
“Bastard!”
Beerus’s body quickly retreated. Watching as the other’s attack slowly approached him, Beerus’ face became even gloomier, and he angrily let out a roar. His body, which had not yet had time to recover after the fight with Quitela, erupted with incredible energy once more. With a mere tap of his toes, he rapidly retreated like a shooting star.
Boom! Boom!
Enormous fireballs rose into the sky like a blazing sun hanging above the head, and then suddenly exploded.
“I haven’t gotten a single point yet, you won’t let me go back empty-handed, will you…” Giin grinned weirdly at this moment, closely following after Beerus.
“Giin, I guarantee you will regret this one day.” Beerus gritted his teeth in anger, but that’s how the Battle of Gods is. In a battle royale, there is nothing like fairness, the most important thing is to knock down the opponent.
With a sharp sound of the wind, Beerus waved his arms in the void, the two people’s movements seemed to exceed the speed of light.
Bang, the two fists collided and then Beerus and Giin both retreated several thousand meters away before quickly rushing towards each other again.
The fight between the Gods of Destruction often reverts back to their primal state, making it hard to discern the specific details of the fight. All that can be seen are countless dazzling balls of light constantly appearing and then quickly disappearing. Bang, bang, bang, after the sounds of collision, the void looked as if it was being torn apart and endless whirlwinds spread out in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Beerus’ powerful fist landed on Giin’s face, and Giin also powerfully struck Beerus’ stomach before raising his leg and kicking Beerus with force, sending him flying. Both men disappeared and reappeared, their sweat and blood constantly dripping down as their conditions seemed to be worsening.
They gasped and looked at each other.
“Hehe, Giin, your fists aren’t strong enough.”
“It’s enough to fight you.” Giin’s gaze was cold as he looked at Beerus.
“If you want to defeat me, you’re still dreaming!”
Beerus yelled and engaged in a close combat with Giin. However, in reality, Beerus, who had exhausted too much physical strength, was at a disadvantage.
……
At this time, on Universe 7’s side, Whis, leaning on a scepter, watched the fight between Beerus and Giin. Seeing that Beerus and Giin were evenly matched, he slightly frowned. “Hmm, Beerus-sama’s situation is not looking good!”
“Whis, do you mean Beerus-sama will lose?” Goku, unable to clearly see the fight between Beerus and Giin, asked Whis directly.
Whis said, “If this were a normal situation, Beerus-sama might not necessarily lose to Giin-sama by much, but the problem now is that Beerus-sama has just recently been through a battle and is not in top condition. Now, it looks like the two are evenly matched and it’s hard to tell who will win. Furthermore, Beerus-sama’s attacks are much sharper than Giin-sama’s, but the more it seems this way, the more Beerus-sama is putting forth all his effort. This seemingly balanced state can’t be maintained for much longer.”
“What to do then? Beerus-sama can’t lose!”
The people of Universe 7 panicked. Except for Myers and Android 18, others didn’t know about the exemption right with Universe 10. They only thought that if God of Destruction Beerus lost the match, Universe 7 would face the same fate as the others and be erased. Therefore, everyone became tense.
“There’s nothing we can do either, so let’s just watch calmly.” Whis glanced at Myers and the others and said softly.
“We can only do this.”
Even though they were feeling helpless, they couldn’t interfere with the battle in the arena and could only silently cheer on Beerus nervously.
Unlike the nervous Universe 7, on Universe 4’s side, God of Destruction Quitela was eagerly hoping for Beerus to lose. Seeing Beerus being attacked continuously by Giin and at risk of being defeated, Quitela couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and coldly said, “Beerus, you have got your just desserts. Hmph, your outcome won’t be much better than mine.”
However, thinking back to how Universe 4 was already behind Universe 7 by 13 points due to the Battle of Mortals, and now they once again suffered defeat in the Battle of Gods, Quitela began to feel a bit uneasy.
“It’s all because of Universe 7. If it wasn’t for them dragging down Ganos and the others, how would Universe 4 be so far behind?!!” At this moment, Quitela completely forgot that he was the one who provoked Universe 7 first and blamed everything on Beerus and the others.
…………
On the other side, after defeating God of Destruction Heles of Universe 2, Xiaya was also searching for his next opponent. At this moment, a red figure caught his eye.
It’s him, Jiren from Universe 11.
Xiaya was momentarily surprised, but seeing that Jiren seemed to not have found an opponent either, he had a sudden idea and a smile formed on his handsome face. Suddenly, his body flickered a few times and he appeared next to Jiren.
With a sound of air ripping, he casually threw out an energy attack.
Jiren became alert as soon as Xiaya appeared. Noticing Xiaya’s attack, his black eyes suddenly flashed with red light and his enormous powers spread out, forming a transparent energy shield around his body. With a crack sound, it was as if a strong current of energy had touched a conductor and generated a fierce discharge, but it didn’t last long as the energy disappeared following a distortion of space.
Interesting! Xiaya’s eyes lit up and he continued to test Jiren with a smile.
Thud! A fierce collision burst out with a dull sound, the wind swirling up. It was as if time had stopped.
Jiren extended his arm to block Xiaya’s kick, but the moment the arm and the foot collided, Xiaya smiled and Jiren’s face revealed a surprised expression.
Bang!!
The power in Xiaya’s kick exceeded Jiren’s expectations, making him feel a sinking sensation in his heart. He exerted strength in his legs and his feet sank into the ground. Even so, his body retreated several tens of meters before he could dissipate the kick’s force. Looking at the deep ravines on the smooth ground and the slightly numb feeling on his arm, Jiren’s calm expression finally changed and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.
“Peak of the third level of the Divine Realm, the peak level of a God of Destruction. Jiren, you are indeed exceptional among all the Gods of Destruction.”
Xiaya smiled at Jiren. After the brief exchange, he had already figured out Jiren’s strength. Of course, it was still far from Xiaya’s, but how long has it been since Jiren became a God of Destruction and he had already reached the peak level of a God of Destruction.
It should be known that he had fought with Dark Angels multiple times and, after some training, had barely reached this level. Yet, Jiren had only been a God of Destruction for 48 hours and had already reached this level. It’s no wonder he was able to reach the level of a God of Destruction as a mortal before, once he inherited the position of God of Destruction, he instantly comprehended God of Destruction’s realm and reached the peak of a normal God of Destruction!
However, Xiaya didn’t put much thought into it. After all, even if he counted everything, he had only been training for a few decades, so of course his foundation couldn’t be compared with a monster like Jiren who had been training for so many years.
