Although Paparoni and others were caught in the crossfire, apart from those from Universe 3, nobody seemed to care about their fate.
Because at this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Lin Chen and Jiren.
Although it was initially Jiren, Goku and others attacking Lin Chen, the situation seemed to have shifted into a one-on-one fight between Jiren and Lin Chen.
Their battle had escalated to the point where no one else could intervene.
If anyone attempted to join rashly, there would only be one outcome.
One foolhardy individual attempted to intervene and the result was very bleak.
When the battlefield between Jiren and Lin Chen gradually approached him, Obni from Universe 10 also panicked.
Having witnessed Agnilasa's fate just now, he knew well that such a battle posed danger even to onlookers.
With him being the sole survivor of Universe 10, he had to ensure his own safety, whether for oneself or for others.
Therefore, Obni swiftly began to retreat, distancing himself from Lin Chen and the others.
However, perhaps unwilling to leave without making any impact, Obni, while retreating, also unleashed his secret technique.
Feints of Ki!
Several clones created by Obni's ki remained in place, attacking Lin Chen.
Obni aimed to divert Lin Chen's attention away from Jiren, unaware of the foolishness of his actions.
In a clash between experts, how can anyone be allowed to cause disturbance?
Sensing Obni's clones approach him, Lin Chen's gaze turned icy.
He hadn't intended to be distracted by such weaklings, but seeing Obni attempting to disturb him ignited a murderous intent within him.
"Hah!"
A surge of overwhelming energy suddenly erupted from Lin Chen, forcing Jiren to halt his attacks and focus on defense.
Taking advantage of Jiren's pause, Lin Chen instantly teleported next to Obni.
Slap!
With a single slap, Obni was sent flying out of the arena.
"Obni from Universe 10 has been eliminated!"
"Everyone from Universe 10 has been eliminated, hence, erase!"
Grand Priest's cold voice echoed, leaving the members of Universe 10 frozen in place, as if immobilized by ice.
"It's finally here!"
The two Zenos bounced up excitedly, extending their right hands and casually pinching.
In the next moment, all the members of Universe 10 vanished before everyone's eyes, along with everything from Universe 10 itself.
Every witness to this scene wore a grim expression.
With Universe 10, four out of eight universes had now been erased.
No one wished for their universe to be next.
"Jiren, come on! If you don't defeat Lin Chen, we're all done for!"
"Jiren, you must defeat that Lin Chen!"
Suddenly, several contestants from other universes stood up, cheering for Jiren, hoping he could defeat Lin Chen.
It was clear that without defeating Lin Chen, none of the eight universes present stood a chance of winning.
"Kakarot! Only the people from Universe 7 can defeat His Majesty Links! Don't lose to that Jiren!"
Vegeta suddenly shouted.
Goku heard it but felt helpless. He also wanted to defeat Lin Chen.
But before them, Lin Chen stood like an insurmountable mountain, seemingly unbeatable.
Unless...
In Goku's mind, Mr. Popo's figure suddenly appeared.
In the arena, the battle resumed, still a fierce clash between Lin Chen and Jiren.
And the intensity of the battle seemed even greater than before, to the extent that even Broly and Toppo felt they couldn't interfere.
After a dazzling barrage of attacks, Lin Chen's body suddenly appeared to the left of Jiren, his fist lightning-fast, heading straight for Jiren's temple.
Sensing the danger, Jiren hurriedly raised his hand to block.
But there was a sound of cracking.
Lin Chen's fist landed on Jiren's arm, producing a sound resembling bones breaking.
In pain, Jiren's own arm, along with Lin Chen's fist, collided against him, and he was instantly sent flying by the terrifying force.
"Jiren!"
Toppo shouted. Seeing Lin Chen about to pursue, he immediately flashed behind Lin Chen, reaching out to tightly embrace him.
"Justice Rear Naked Choke!"
Toppo tightly hugged Lin Chen, not letting go, while exerting all his strength, attempting to break Lin Chen's bones.
On the other side, Broly seized the opportunity, appearing in front of Lin Chen, launching a barrage of energy blasts, attacking together with Toppo.
Amidst the flames, Toppo laughed maniacally, "That's it! Broly! Keep it up! We must take down Lin Chen!"
Seeing that the energy blasts were ineffective, Broly switched to using his fists, smashing them on Lin Chen.
In the heat of battle, Broly was starting to lose control of his emotions.
Completely resembling a crazed wild beast, he charged at Lin Chen, seemingly tireless.
Threads of hot steam even emanated from his fists.
Watching the relentless attacks of the two in tandem, they seemed like an unstoppable storm.
But at that moment, red light erupted from Lin Chen's body once again.
Immediately after, Toppo was astonished to find his own hands being lifted up, and he had no strength to resist at all.
"How is this possible!"
Just as Toppo exclaimed in shock.
There were two cracking sounds.
Lin Chen directly snapped Toppo's arms, then with a forceful kick, sent Toppo flying over a hundred meters away, until Dyspo intervened to stop him.
With Toppo dealt with, Lin Chen turned to face Broly.
He directly confronted Broly's attacks, engaging in a head-on battle with him.
Their fists were like meteors, continuously pounding each other's bodies.
At this moment, both Lin Chen and Broly were solely on the offensive, allowing each other's fists to land on their bodies before fiercely retaliating.
This continued for over ten seconds until a winner was finally determined.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Under Lin Chen's assault, even Broly, with his formidable physique, began to show signs of being overwhelmed.
The body of the Legendary Super Saiyan, which should have been impervious to pain, also began to show signs of damage.
Finally, after several bouts of coughing up blood from Broly, Lin Chen punched him, sending him flying out.
With this blow, Broly seemed to have lost the strength to stand up again, lying on the arena, his fate uncertain.
The desperate attacks of two experts comparable to God of Destruction still couldn't defeat Lin Chen.
But their delay allowed Jiren to regain his senses and crawl up from the ground.
"Jiren..." Toppo's weak voice suddenly sounded.
Jiren turned his head and saw Toppo lying in Dyspo's arms, shouting to him with all his might, "Jiren! Universe 11 is in your hands! You must... you must defeat... Lin Chen!"
