Belmod looked at the scene in the crystal ball where a figure was sitting in meditation amidst the lava, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Because the mortal rumored to surpass the strength of God of Destruction in various universes was none other than Jiren.
So when faced with Jiren, even Belmod, as the God of Destruction of Universe 11, couldn't force him to do anything.
"Belmod-sama, I don't want to participate."
Jiren suddenly spoke.
"Then Universe 11 will perish! Do you know that Toppo has already lost? Without you, our universe cannot win. The entire universe will be erased!" A dark expression flashed across Belmod's face.
But Jiren became silent once again, continuing his meditation with closed eyes.
After a few minutes of deadlock, Belmod could only say, "Jiren, I remember you once told me that your master died at the hands of a demon with a tail, right?"
"Do you want to see who Toppo lost to this time?"
With that, Belmod signaled Marcarita beside him with a glance, then handed her the scepter.
Marcarita took the scepter and lightly tapped it on the ground.
At the next moment, a scene appeared before Jiren in the distance.
The scene displayed the battle between Lin Chen and Toppo.
Jiren was originally indifferent with his eyes closed, but when he happened to open his eyes for a moment and took a glance...
The planet where Jiren was on suddenly erupted with violent tremors.
Lava surged like waves, and volcanoes all around began to erupt one after another.
Jiren stood amidst the flames, with flowing lava beneath his feet and erupting volcanoes behind him, his face full of murderous intent.
Toppo, on the side, stole a glance at the crystal ball and was instantly stunned.
He had never seen Jiren look so fierce.
"Who is this person?"
A cold voice emanated from the scepter.
"He's called Lin Chen, a Saiyan from Universe 7," Marcarita said.
"Saiyan? Universe 7? I see! No wonder I couldn't find their trace!" Suddenly, the planet cracked, directly exploding under some unknown force.
And shortly after, Jiren, exuding a strong killing intent, appeared on God of Destruction's Planet, in front of everyone.
"Jiren!" Toppo greeted, but Jiren didn't even look at him. Instead, he walked up to Belmod and asked, "Tell me about this person!"
"He's a contestant from Universe 7, named Lin Chen. During the Zeno Expo, he defeated Toppo in his Destroyer Form, and it seems he hadn't even used his full power then."
Belmod introduced, "In this Tournament of Power, he might become a major enemy of our Universe 11!"
"I've fought this person before," Jiren suddenly said.
"What? When did that happen?"
Belmod and the others were all stunned.
Lin Chen is from Universe 7, so did he once come to Universe 11?
"That was a long time ago, just when my master died, he appeared."
"What?"
Belmod stroked his chin. He waved his hand, driving out the female clowns in the room before speaking, "Jiren, you once told me that the one who killed your master was a human with a tail. Could that person also be a Saiyan from Universe 7?"
"I don't know, but this Lin Chen looks very similar to that man. He suddenly appeared in front of me back then and even tried to stop me from chasing that demon, so I mistook him for one of the demon's accomplices."
"At that time, Lin Chen was not my match, but he had an unusual recovery method. We fought for a whole three days before he disappeared from my sight."
"But that doesn't make sense. This Lin Chen shouldn't be that old," Belmod said, puzzled.
"Belmod-sama, this Lin Chen might be capable of time travel," Marcarita interjected. "Did you forget that Zeno-sama was brought from another world by Lin Chen."
"Time travel?" Jiren nodded upon hearing that. "It makes sense. Lin Chen here looks just like the person who stopped me before. After so many years, unless Saiyans are also a long-lived race, he couldn't have remained unchanged."
"That should be it then. This guy may have, for some purpose, traveled through time and arrived in Universe 11 many years ago. As for his connection with that demon, Jiren, you'll have to ask him yourself."
"Alright! I'll participate! I'll personally get to the bottom of this in the tournament!"
Upon hearing this, Belmod finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Jiren joining, Universe 11 was sure to win. However, he still advised, "Jiren, there's half a month left until the tournament. I suggest you focus on training."
"What? You think I can't defeat him?" Jiren's voice suddenly rose.
Belmod smiled wryly and looked at Marcarita beside him.
She nodded. "Mr. Jiren, as you are now, you probably really can't win. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can learn our Angel race' ultimate technique within this half month... Ultra Instinct!"
...
Universe 6.
Champa held a whip in his hand, looking at the people in front of him, his fat body trembling from anger.
"You trash! All of you are trash! With such little strength, how can we win against Universe 7! Caulifla! Kale! I know you two have been eyeing Lin Chen's sons, but don't forget, you are from Universe 6! If we lose, you're finished too!"
"Champa-sama, it's no use pressuring us like this. We know Mr. Lin Chen's strength very well. He's not someone we can defeat at all," Caulifla said helplessly.
Seeing this, Champa exploded with rage.
"What should we do then? Are we just going to give up? Don't you want to survive!"
"No! Earth of Universe 6 has just been restored! There's so much delicious food I haven't enjoyed yet! I don't want to die!"
Vados couldn't help but chuckle at this, which only infuriated Champa more.
"Vados! You must be finding this funny since even if Universe 6 is gone, you won't have any problem!"
"Champa-sama, instead of complaining, why don't you think of other ways?"
Champa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly dropped the whip in his hand, his eyes blinking rapidly. "What other ways?"
Vados whispered a few words softly in Champa's ear. It's unclear what she said, but after listening, Champa's eyes widened and it took quite some time for him to regain his composure.
"Vados, can this work?"
"If it's just Champa-sama alone, it might not work, but if you can persuade other Gods of Destruction from other universes, maybe it can."
Champa looked dumbfounded, then nodded decisively. "Alright! Let's give it a try! If we don't do it this way, no one stands a chance against Universe 7!"
