"Let's go!"
As Goku's voice fell, Jiren immediately formed a crimson energy sphere in his hand.
Jiren initially aimed at Lin Chen, but after some thought, he changed his target and aimed at the arena beneath Lin Chen's feet.
At this moment, Lin Chen's situation was peculiar. Jiren couldn't determine if a ki blast would affect him, but fortunately, it was a competition, so all Jiren needed to do was blast Lin Chen off the arena.
In the next moment, Jiren was about to throw the energy sphere.
But before he could attack, Lin Chen suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Jiren.
"What?"
Seeing Lin Chen suddenly appear before him, Jiren's expression changed drastically.
Because his timing was too perfect, almost right before Jiren unleashed his attack, and it was at a moment when Jiren didn't have time to stop his technique.
As expected, Jiren's energy sphere was hurled at the now-empty piece of arena.
If it had been just one person, Jiren would have definitely suffered, but fortunately, Goku was by his side this time.
With a swift movement, Goku appeared beside Jiren, ready to unleash a Kamehameha.
But at this exact moment, it seemed like Lin Chen had anticipated Goku's next move; before Goku could unleash his Kamehameha, Lin Chen preemptively grabbed Goku with a palm.
A bright green light shimmered in his palm, and an explosion of energy erupted instantly.
The close-range blast confused Goku, disrupting his gathering of energy for Kamehameha.
Following that, Lin Chen twisted his wrist, grabbed Goku, and smashed him at Jiren.
Just as Jiren noticed the ki blast failing, he decided to engage in close combat.
But with Goku thrown in front of him by Lin Chen, Jiren's actions were momentarily halted.
In his moment of hesitation, Lin Chen loosened his grip. He fiercely kneed Goku, transferring the force onto Jiren behind him, sending them both flying.
"What just happened?"
Both of them landed near the edge of a floating rock. Jiren trembled as he got up, then suddenly his pupils contracted, and he knelt down, spitting out a mixture of bile and blood.
"Goku, what was that just now? Why do I feel like Lin Chen knew how we would attack next?"
"You...you feel the same way?" Goku, who had taken heavier injuries during the battle than Jiren, plopped on the ground, almost unable to stand.
Both Jiren and Goku felt something strange. Lin Chen's actions just now weren't ordinary movements.
Although there weren't any flashy maneuvers, every move he made seemed as if he knew how Goku and Jiren would attack next.
This was different from Ultra Instinct and also distinct from the Ultra Ego Lin Chen had used previously.
Ultra Instinct involved the body anticipating attacks and reacting accordingly.
Ultra Ego excelled in attacks rather than evasion.
However, Lin Chen's actions just now clearly anticipated the opponent's attack, then used his own attack to stop it before it launched.
It was as if he combined the strengths of Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego!
On the sidelines, the various gods who had witnessed Lin Chen's actions were just as puzzled as Jiren and Goku.
"How did Lin Chen do that?"
"His movements just now were somewhat similar to Ultra Instinct but also different!"
"It's also different from Ultra Ego that he previously described!"
"Hey, Whis, do you know what technique that was?" Beerus asked.
Whis shook his head. "I'm not sure either, Beerus-sama. Could it be a new technique that Mr. Lin Chen devised himself?"
"New technique? No!"
On the side, Old Kai's voice suddenly rang out.
Supreme Kai Shim looked at him curiously, "Ancestor, do you know what that is?"
Old Kai's face turned serious, "I do know, but I don't understand how Lin Chen learned this technique. It's impossible... There shouldn't be anyone in this world who knows this technique anymore..."
"Hey, old man, what exactly is it?" Beerus asked.
"Ultra Instinct Kill!" Old Kai said each word slowly.
"Ultra Instinct Kill?" Beerus turned to Whis.
The latter shrugged, "Beerus-sama, this is the first time I've heard of it too."
"Hey, old man, what is this Ultra Instinct Kill you're talking about?"
"It's a technique similar to Ultra Instinct, just like the Ultra Ego Lin Chen used before. It's a technique someone developed to counter Ultra Instinct. But it's not a realm; it's purely a killing move," Old Kai said with a serious expression.
"A killing move? But I didn't see Lin Chen use any special moves just now," Beerus said, puzzled.
"His series of counterattacks just now were the killing moves of Ultra Instinct Kill!"
Old Kai explained, "As I said, Ultra Instinct Kill is somewhat similar to Ultra Instinct. This technique can foresee the opponent's attack in advance, allowing the user to counter with their own attack before the opponent's attack is unleashed."
"If Ultra Instinct is a realm that anticipates and evades attacks, then Ultra Instinct Kill is a killing move that anticipates the attacks and actively attacks!"
"I see..."
Beerus suddenly realized. He turned back to look at Lin Chen in the arena. "This guy actually mastered such a technique?"
Old Kai looked at the backs of the people, silently lowering his head, thinking to himself, "But the question is... this move should be a killer move used only by the former Dragon Clan experts. Where did Lin Chen learn it from?"
At this moment, in the arena, Lin Chen walked up to Jiren and Goku, and said calmly, "Jiren, Goku, you've lost."
"No! I won't admit defeat! I can't lose!"
Jiren shook his head, speaking somewhat absentmindedly.
"Your cooperation with Goku is good, but unfortunately, you two are still not my match, Jiren."
Lin Chen suddenly made a move, stepping on Jiren's hand. Jiren was actually about to launch a sneak attack with a punch, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to see through it again.
The intense pain in his hand made Jiren's face turn pale.
Lin Chen raised his hand, forming a red energy sphere and pressed it against Jiren's face.
"Finally, this lengthy battle can end. Farewell."
As Lin Chen's voice fell, the energy sphere in his palm directly blasted Jiren away.
Boom!
Jiren's body was instantly sent flying, and this time, there was no one to save him.
"Universe 11, Jiren has been eliminated!"
Jiren's heavily injured body then appeared in the spectator's stand.
"Due to the elimination of Jiren from Universe 11, Universe 11 is now eliminated!"
After the Grand Priest's merciless voice fell, a white light began to envelop everyone from Universe 11.
However, just before they were about to be erased, the contestants from Universe 11 all gathered around Jiren.
"Jiren!"
Jiren's eyes slightly opened.
"Jiren, thank you!" Toppo spoke on behalf of everyone.
Jiren closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, everyone. If only I had realized the importance of teamwork earlier..."
"No, Jiren, it's because we held you back. If only we were stronger..."
"Yes, if only we could match your strength, Jiren, you would have had an easier time!"
"Everyone..."
Just before disappearing, a smile appeared on Jiren's lips, a smile that no one had ever seen before.
Then, the people from Universe 11 directly turned into specks of white starlight.
