Gohan and Hit were ready to launch themselves at each other but suddenly out of nowhere below me and Lee a multicolored light appeared, out of it stepped a little child looking humanoid with a round purple and blue head with an outfit that had the same colors, behind him were two guys who had a similar outfit in different colors, their skins were green and only their eyes were shown as their mouths were covered by their outfits. They also wore golden pointed hats on their heads.
Whis Vados Champa and Beerus immediately bowed towards him and said while sweating intensely:
"We greet Zeno-sama!" Lee and I immediately did the same thing and said in unison:
"We greet Zeno-sama!" Zeno looked at us and said in a childlike voice:
"Who are you two? I don't remember you."
Of course, he wouldn't remember us since he never met us, but I guess he could feel the god ki that was coursing through our bodies. One of his guards got nearer to him and started to whisper something to him.
Zeno nodded his head smiled then said:
"Ahaaa I see you are disci.. disciple? disciples yes of my former friend. I guess if you are his disciples you can be my friends as well!"
I sweatdropped I didn't know how to act towards this little guy who could destroy all of the universes by snapping his fingers. But Lee approached him first and said:
"Sure Zeno-sama me and my fellow disciple would enjoy being your friends."
I nodded my head and followed his lead, keeping this little child-like being happy was the thing that kept all the universes in existence.
The gods of destruction and angels immediately felt like a weight was taken off their shoulders but Zeno's next question made them feel fear again:
"What's going on here?"
Champa and Beerus were sweating so hard a mini lake was appearing below them. Goku immediately interjected in saying:
"It's a tournament between strong people!"
Zeno's eyes started shining and said:
"Is the tournament fun?"
Goku nodded his head and smiled at him, Zeno looked at both Gohan and Hit who didn't do anything then he pouted saying:
"But it doesn't look that fun to me."
Champa immediately said:
"Zeno-sama they didn't start yet after they will start it will be very fun!"
Champa smiled inwardly afterward as a plan was made in his mind:
"Zeno-sama my Universe's Hit isn't at full power so your fun won't be as good if he isn't fully rested."
Zeno nodded his rotund head at Champa then said:
"Let him get to full power then!"
Champa did a victory sign towards Beerus and I interjected, there was no reason to wait I already had a few senzu beans with me, I practically never left the planet without a few in case I found someone injured in need of one.
I threw a bean at Hit and he grabbed it analyzing it with scrutiny I immediately said afterward:
"Zeno-sama that little green thing can make Hit go back to full power so the fight can start sooner."
Zeno smiled at me then said:
"My friend is a good guy he knows I want to see the fun sooner."
Hit could feel that Zeno was dangerous Champa wanted to interject saying that the bean might hurt Hit but a look from Zeno's innocent eyes made him shut his mouth.
Hit ate the senzu bean and his power level was back to one hundred percent, he clenched his fists and looked at me with a strange look in his eyes.
Gohan nodded at me then looked back at Hit with a grin on his face he was ready for the fight.
Zeno couldn't wait anymore so he immediately said:
"Start this tournament thing already!"
Gohan didn't wait for any other instructors as he powered to his super Saiyan God form, his hair turned red and a flowing red aura appeared around him, he closed his eyes as the aura disappeared as he internalized it.
Hit was already punching him with his ki infused fists while he did that but Gohan smirked while his eyes were closed and he batted all the fists away with his palm.
Hit's eyes widened, he already used the time skip technique as his surroundings turned greenish and time seemed to crack around him.
Gohan continued to keep his eyes closed and only anticipated what Hit would do, he didn't fight back and waited for an opening.
Lee was interested in Gohan as he asked me:
"That guy from your Universe, he is quite the thing isn't he?"
I just told him three words:
"Yes, he is."
We weren't above the stage anymore as Zeno-sama was just near it and I think his guardians would feel that we were impolite if we flew above his head.
Hit narrowed his eyes at Gohan's ability to be able to deflect his attacks, their power level was quite equal so he couldn't adapt to increase his power level anymore.
Gohan smirk never faded off his face, as he defended more and more of Hit's punches the smirk turned into a full-blown smile.
He opened his eyes and told Hit:
"I think I figured out your technique fully!"
And so did I, after I'll get back on Earth I could train a bit and I should be able to use his time skip technique.
Gohan's smile faded off his face as he took a stance similar to Hit's. Oho, I didn't see this one coming, Gohan would do what I think he would do?
The green cracked time appeared around him as he punched Hit in the chest area three times, three tiny beams appeared out of Hit's back as his face showed surprise and bewilderment. His technique was used against him?
He coughed a bit of saliva and shook off the remnants of the ki that remained inside of his body, and suddenly smiled.
He stopped using the time skip technique as it wasn't helpful anymore he put one arm in front of the other and launched himself at Gohan, Gohan tried to use the time skip technique again but failed.
Gohan's face started to redden as a bit of blood seeped out the corner of his mouth, Hit said:
"Don't you think you are a bit too confident? I trained in this technique for five thousand years before perfecting it."
The time skip had a huge burden on the user body, Gohan using it without any prior training pretty much destroyed his hopes of winning.
Gohan dodged around Hit's attacks and did some punches and kicks himself but Hit was more experienced, he lived more than any of the mortals here and his technique was extremely good. His technique was actually on par with Jiren's If I said so myself.
I'm pretty sure if Hit was as strong as Jiren an epic fight would have unfolded at the tournament of power.
Gohan took some punches to his chest and more blood seeped out of his mouth, it seemed Hit targeted the injury left behind by the technique.
After a few more minutes of fighting Gohan's super Saiyan god form reverted by itself and he kneeled on the stage, it was his loss!
Goku observed the fight fully and now he had a very good plan to defeat Hit, even though Piccolo was almost near Gohan's strength it was still too low to take on Hit, even if he used his stand and Kaioken it wouldn't be much of a difference.
Hit was exhausted himself as he panted hard, the fight wasn't that easy for him, he was an assassin, not a brawler, he did things clean and fast, he wasn't good in protracted fights.
I threw him a second senzu bean which he ate, at first Zeno didn't understand much due to Hit using timeskip but after the time skip technique wasn't used anymore his eyes started shining as he took the fight in. He enjoyed it!
Goku made his way to the stage and bowed towards Hit, he respected Hit's power and seniority as he heard he trained his technique for five thousand years.
Goku immediately transformed into his super Saiyan blue form with his aura internalized at the same time, his body buffed a bit more after his aura internalized and he threw himself at Hit.
Goku immediately dodged a fist that was going for his chest, Hit narrowed his eyes and realized he couldn't use his time skip properly against Goku either. He shouted as the fight turned into a brawl.
They both punched each other in the face as they skidded to the edges of the stage, then both grabbed the stage with their hands and threw themselves at each other again.
Zeno was clapping his hands and laughing at the fight, he was shouting:
"Go man in orange go!" It seemed he liked Goku.
After a few minutes of fighting Goku said:
"Ok this warmup is done, it's time for the main course don't you think so Hit-san?" Hit smiled at Goku's words as he started to shout his power level increased to rival Goku's and even starting to get above.
Goku thought to himself:
"So shouting increases his power level as well?"
Goku's power level started to increase as a red hue appeared around him his internalized aura shot out of him at an incredible height as he said:
"Kaioken!" Hit's eyes widened and he responded:
"Kaio-what?"
Goku immediately arrived in front of Hit and started a punch kick combo, hitting him in the stomach with a kick sending him in the air then appearing above him and hitting him in the back sending him straight in the stage making it shake and break as spider webs cracks started to appear in it.
Goku didn't give time to get up as he charged a Kamehameha at him and shot it directly at him.
The Kamehameha hit the stage directly, dust that concealed the results of the fight appeared, as the dust cleared Hit was nowhere to be seen!
Hit suddenly appeared above Goku and tried to punch him in the back with a ki infused fist. But Goku rotated mid-air and met his fist with his own overpowering him again.
Goku shouted:
"KAIOKEN TIMES TEN!"
His aura intensified as his power level increased again, Hit's eyes widened again even more than before, he could feel Goku's raw power that was emitting from his aura. He couldn't even prop up a decent defense before he was pummeled in the stomach then in the head.
He was almost out of the stage but he grabbed a corner of the stage and pulled himself up, he grumbled as he spits some blue-colored blood.
Goku let him get up but he grimaced as his body spasmed and his Kaioken form reverted. His muscles started to bulge as thick veins appeared on them. A great toll was taken on his body.
Hit wanted to take advantage of that but he suddenly kneeled on the stage, he couldn't move!
The punch he took to his cranium rattled his brain, Hit started to feel dizzy as the stage started to spin around him, Goku tried to move in and finish the fight but he started to shout in pain as he tried to move.
Now the one who would win would be the one who recovered first!
Hit tried to get up again but he fell on his butt Goku tried to move but his muscles started to spasm uncontrollably again. Goku gritted his teeth and reverted his super Saiyan blue transformation. He used his remaining energy to appear in front of Hit and throw him off the stage while he still could Hit didn't recover of his dizziness in time and was thrown off the stage!
Beerus started cheering as his win while Champa growled to himself and cursed Beerus under his breath.
Zeno-sama cheered and clapped as he liked the fight very much.
He started to run forward and asked Goku:
"Hey what's your name?"
Goku smirked at Zeno and said:
"My name is Son Goku, what's yours?"
Zeno smirked like Goku:
"I'm Zeno!"
Goku shook Zeno's hand and said:
"Nice to meet you, Zeno!"
Beerus was ready to appear directly above Goku and punt him in the stage till his brains became like mash potatoes, Zeno's guards were ready to do the same but with more lethality involved but Zeno just laughed and said:
"I like you, let's be friends!"
Goku nodded:
"Yeah, I can be friends with you Zeno-chan."
Beerus thought to himself:
"Zeno-chan???? we are doomed."
Champa thought the same while Whis just laughed with a palm covering his mouth.
The guards stopped when they saw how Zeno liked Goku's company and just continued to guard Zeno.
Zeno nodded at Goku then said:
"If it's possible I would like to see more of these tournaments!"
Goku then said the words that would practically doom and save the universes at the same time:
"Then why don't you create one yourself?"
Zeno's eyes shined as he said:
"Can I do that?"
Goku smiled at his words and continued:
"Sure you are, from the reactions of the others I can see you are a pretty important little guy, I would also like to fight some more strong guys from other universes if it's possible it would be great if you made a tournament!"
Zeno seemingly was ready to create the tournament on the spot but then he had a thoughtful face for a few seconds before saying:
"Ok I will make this tournament, I'm going to leave now, visit me so we can play before the tournament!"
Then he left in a bunch of multicolored light with his guards.
I sighed as I looked at the spot the guards took. The gods of destruction did the same. Only the angels were more relaxed, of course, they were relaxed if a universe got erased they wouldn't!
Champa grumbled some curses under his breath constantly as he left with the Universe six fighters in tow, Hit was still given his cube even though he didn't win while the others also got some rewards from Vados.
Champa was ready to jump at her but another staff hit on the head stopped him directly from taking another action, they just left sullenly.
We made our way out of the atmosphere of the planet as Whis stood in front and said as he admired the giant balls that were hovering in space:
"Beerus-sama what's your wish?"
Beerus thought long about it then said:
"Summon the dragon and I will tell you the wish then."
Whis started to talk in the language of the gods as he summoned the dragon coincidently Vegeta said at the same time:
"He is speaking the language of the gods!"
The giant super golden dragon appeared but he didn't say anything.
Beerus opened his mouth and he was just ready to tell Whis his wish.
