It will be a while before the tournament of power started but before then I needed to create the perfect team that would be able to defeat everyone else, Goku Vegeta Gohan and Buu were going to be in the tournament for sure. I could also feel that the Kold family trios power was increasing every day, Frieza already attained his golden form and the other two were on their way to reach the realm of the gods as well.
Seven participants out of ten as for the other three Broly was going in for a spot and Piccolo would take the other one, as for the final spot I might be the one who filled it if the Zeno let me fight. My participation depended on Zeno if he wanted to let me fight or not. Of course, if I entered Lee would enter as well.
There was no reason to put Lazuli or Lapis in danger, they should just chill and relax in the Universe while we won the tournament.
I changed my outfit to a blue gi with black lines and a red undershirt I wore white boots and a yellow belt, I had my own Buddha symbol on the front and the back of the gi in a white circle. This would be my outfit for the tournament of power, hopefully, Zeno would want to see his friend fight as long he said anything the Grand Priest wouldn't interfere.
Near Zeno's realm in the null void... The Grand Priest was listening towards Zeno's words and said with a thoughtful look on his face:
"Well Zeno-sama we can make this tournament... we shall invite all the Universes and do just like Universe six and seven did making the prize be the super dragon balls, I shall also unlock some of their powers and let them have a wish with no limitations, what do you say?"
Zeno clapped his hands like the child he was and said:
"Yes, that would be very good!" The Grand Priest then continued:
"Of course the tournament wouldn't be fun if there were no rules, you shouldn't bother with these things however Zeno-sama I shall create all the rules and present them to you and explain them as well so you can agree to them is that right?"
Zeno nodded his rotund head and said afterward:
"While you do that invite my friend Goku and my other friend to play, I'm bored by myself." The Grand Priest bowed and said:
"Of course Zeno-sama."
The Grand Priest teleported over to one of the guards and told him to call the kai of Universe seven over.
Shin came over as fast as he could as he realized he was called over to Zeno's place, he was met with The Grand Priest at the entrance of the palace and then informed of Zeno's invitation of Goku and myself to the palace.
Shin teleported back to Universe seven after he bid his goodbyes towards The Grand Priest and called both of us and explained why he was so hurried.
We three teleported to Zeno's palace using Kai Kai and we met the Grand Priest who invited us in the palace while saying:
"It's rare for Zeno-sama to make friends, of course, there were some exceptions in the past." He glanced at me and smiled.
Goku scratched the back of his head and laughed while we continued to follow the Grand Priest deeper in the palace.
Guards were standing solemnly watching over Zeno as we entered the throne room, Zeno floated over from his throne and ran towards both of us and said:
"Both of my friends are here."
He took us both by one hand each and we started to play some games he created, of course, he won all of the rounds because he was a master at all his self made games, it didn't help he didn't explain the rules properly either but making the little guy happy meant he wasn't going to snap his fingers any time soon.
After a while, it was time for us to go and Zeno was sad, he gave Goku a button which he could use to call him so they could play together and we left the palace. Shin was waiting for us outside the palace and we got back to Universe seven. Now it was time to assemble the team.
I called the trio of the Kold clan back to Earth and informed the others to all get to capsule corporation.
Beerus and Whis were already there waiting. As we all made our way over all of them tensed as they felt the powers of Cooler Cold and Frieza approach from the galaxy.
When they saw them and felt how stronger they became they looked towards each other than to me not knowing how they got revived. Goku was practically ready to launch himself at Frieza and tear him limb for limb, he was still mad he almost killed Roshi back then.
Frieza was different from before and he didn't have the memories of his past life while he also became more experienced by helping the Universe killing evildoers and such with his family he was still scared by Goku's look in his eyes.
I coughed and told all of them telepathically:
"Guys guys it's ok I used my Buddha power to cleanse them of their sins and reincarnate them as good people, they are all on our side now, they don't even remember their past lives."
All of them started to relax as they took another look at the Kold family trio. I decided to not make the trio feel like outsiders and made them chat with the others.
Beerus started counting and he said:
"Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Cooler, Cold, Frieza, Buu aren't we missing one person, don't tell me you want to get another one of your earthlings in, this tournament is serious stuff even though they are way stronger than most of the mortals in this Universe they aren't at the very top, I want only the best in my team." He huffed as he continued to eat some strawberry ice cream.
I nodded my head at Beerus's words and said:
"There's one more guy that I know of, I felt his power level and potential some while ago but didn't interact with him until now, I can take him over here." Then I pointed at Goku and Vegeta and continued:
"He is a Saiyan just like you guys but his potential is nothing to scoff about you will see when I take him here."
I closed my eyes and concentrated on Broly's energy, it was relatively high and it had a pure attribute to it, it was due to him being very inexperienced and having no desires, he lived like a monk on Vampa, another way smaller power level was with him Paragus his father.
I teleported over to planet Vampa and took in the surroundings, it was pretty desolate and not a good living environment, I approached the auras and Paragus started to rub his hands on his eyes thinking he was hallucinating then he shouted:
"Over here over hereeeee." He started to run towards me, Broly was just behind him, he had a wild mane of hair and a cracked armor from since was a child he also had a green pelt that he used as a belt. Paragus wore the same type of armor like him also cracked and visibly destroyed, Paragus hair was starting to turn gray from age and there were wrinkles here and there, he also sported a mustache.
I approached them and said:
"It's ok I felt some high power on this planet and I decided to visit it." I pointed at Broly and said:
"He would be a great addition to a tournament that would affect the fate of the Universe." Paragus gasped as he didn't believe his ears then he said:
"But what about Lord Frieza... we also would like to see our planet, what happened in all these years."
I started explaining to him:
"The planet trade organization of Frieza's and the Kold family was disbanded while they were turned to the good side, Planet Vegeta was destroyed at Frieza's hands quite a long time ago, very few Saiyans survived, some of the survivors are living with me on my home planet, you should remember Nappa right?"
Paragus nodded his head as if in thought and said:
"That slimy imperial advisor survived huh..." Broly didn't say anything and just looked at me, I opened a capsule which I took with me from Earth and threw some food and water at the both of them. Broly looked at them with a perplexed look on his face and he tried to bite them but Paragus stopped him and shown him how he was supposed to open the water bottle and unpack the food.
I watched how they interacted and waited till the finished the water and food. I nodded towards them afterward and said:
"If you are done we can teleport back to my planet, the living environment there is way better, we can also train your son a bit before the tournament began so he can increase his power level for the upcoming fights." Paragus looked at me then closed his tired eyes and a smile suddenly appeared on his face as he patted Broly's shoulders then said in a quiet voice to the both of them:
"It's finally the time we leave this cursed planet son." Broly could talk and said afterward:
"Do we follow him?" Paragus nodded his head and he and Broly approached me, I smiled at both of them and made them put their hands on my shoulders then I teleported all of us to Earth.
Beerus narrowed his eyes as he saw Broly and Paragus then said:
"This guy you came with is pretty strong but still not strong enough..."
I smiled towards Beerus and said:
"You will see after he starts training."
Beerus frowned and let it go, the team was created and it was only a few weeks till the tournament of power was supposed to start. The other gods of destruction started to panic as they heard on how their Universe would be destroyed if they lost the tournament when Beerus got the news he just slapped me on the shoulder then laughed:
"Very good wish very good wish."
At least the Universe and its inhabitants would be safe, Beerus wanted to stay in the Universe during the tournament but the rules said that the gods of destruction should spectate the tournament.
I was of course allowed in the tournament, Zeno would surely like to see me in a fight as he didn't see me fight before and he was very interested in what I was able to do.
In the other Universes, other teams were made up, Universe ten had some strange fighters but their biggest boost was no the god of destruction candidate Zamasu!
Other Universes had robots or other things like transforming idols who worked with some type of 'love' energy.
Of course, the biggest rival of ours was Universe eleven. Jiren opened his eyes as he was meditating inside a gravity chamber his red aura vanished as he looked at Toppo who entered the room and said:
"Why do you disturb me Toppo?"
Toppo immediately got straight to business saying:
"There's a multi universal tournament coming and we need your help Jiren."
Jiren immediately said:
"I refuse."
Toppo coughed a bit then continued:
"Of course I know you value justice over everything else, but whoever wins will get a wish with no limitations meaning you can wish for whatever your heart desires."
Jiren looked at Toppo closed his black pupilless eyes and then said after a few more seconds:
"I will participate now leave and don't disturb me till the tournament starts."
Toppo smiled towards Jiren and said:
"Of course Jiren of course."
Outside the chamber the clown god of destruction Belmond and his angel Marcarrita were waiting, when they saw Toppo getting out of the chamber with a smile Belmond was relieved and said:
"Very good with Jiren's help the win is in the bag."
Toppo nodded and got back to gathering the others from his team.
Goku and Broly were fighting back and forth as Goku transformed from transformation to transformation while Broly immediately adapted after a few rounds, Goku sweatdropped at Broly's insane potential.
By the time two weeks were up Goku and Vegeta were both bruised and beaten by Broly every time they fought, Beerus's eyes shined as he looked at Broly better.
Whis got up from the table he was enjoying food at and said:
"The Grand Priest contacted me and said there will some preliminaries fight so Zeno-sama can observe the fighters and he chose us to fight some other Universe while the remaining Universes will be also spectating.
Whis then continued:
"Only half the fighters will be needed for the preliminaries so please choose whoever will fight now, we have a few hours before we need to get to the preliminaries place."
I nodded at Whis then said:
"Me, Goku, Vegeta, Broly, and Gohan." Beerus narrowed his eyes at me then said:
"You are sending the strongest fighters for the preliminaries?"
I shook my head at Beerus then continued:
"There's no need for plans considering our strength don't you think." Then I pointed at Broly with my eyes, Beerus nodded to himself then said:
"Whatever I don't care the preliminaries don't matter just win the tournament and don't make our Universe a laughing stock."
I laughed at his words then said:
"It would be quite impossible to do that considering our power."
Beerus smirked then gave me a thumbs up.
Whis took us all to the preliminaries place which was actually in the palace of Zeno in one his more remote rooms, there was a stage made by the Grand Priest himself.
As we arrived we looked at the fighters from the other Universes.
There were three humanoid wolf brothers each in a different color and height the strongest and tallest was the one with blue fur he wore black pants and a red scarf he had no shirt on.
The other two had red and yellow fur and were shorter than the blue-furred one they also wore pants and no shirt.
There was only one other fighter on a different platform watching us over with scorn in his eyes, his skin was brown and he had a big mustache beard combination he wore a latex bodysuit with half being colored black and other red.
This was Toppo, while I didn't remember the wolf trio's name.
The wolf trio was aggressive and they told us how they would beat us in the ground such and such.
The Grand Priest interrupted them with a cough which made them sweat then said:
"As per instructed you can challenge Universe seven this is a preliminaries round so it doesn't matter, this was made to show Zeno-sama what he will see at the real tournament in advance."
The other gods of destructions and their kais nodded.
The wolf trio was practically ready to jump from their stands, Champa was grumbling under his breath his stand had a few people too, namely Cabba, Frost and an unknown namekian.
He wanted to challenge Universe seven but he knew he couldn't defeat them even if he gave his best. He didn't even recognize the tall guy with wild hair but he gave him the vibes that he was pretty strong. The wolf trio was pretty dumb in his opinion.
Out of the stands Bergamo the blue-furred wolf jumped down and pointed towards Goku while saying:
"You come over here and fight!"
Goku smiled and jumped from the stands as well.
Bergamo crouched down as he was ready to jump at Goku while Goku took his fighting stance.
The Grand Priest smiled towards Zeno and he started to count down before the full countdown finished he said:
"Oh my I almost forgot about the rules, let me tell them to you now, no flying, no hidden weapons, no healing items, no lethal force as killing your opponent would get you disqualified there will be some more rules added to the actual tournament but these are the main ones."
Then he finished the countdown and both fighters launched themselves at each other.
