As Toppo and Goku clashed in battle, Toppo felt an intense surge of energy from across the arena. He glanced toward the source, his expression shifting to one of shock as he witnessed Goten in his Super Saiyan 5 form, radiating an unimaginable power. For the first time, Toppo felt a flicker of worry for Jiren.
"Wow, all the hair on Goten's head turned white!" one of the Omni-Kings exclaimed, leaning forward with excitement.
"Um!" The Future Omni-King nodded. "Not just his hair—every strand on his body turned white!"
Belmod, the God of Destruction for Universe 11, watched in dismay as Goten's power continued to rise. He hadn't anticipated such a powerful transformation beyond Super Saiyan 4. If Goten could hold his own against Jiren in that state, then in Super Saiyan 5, he might very well overpower him.
Beerus smirked, relishing the moment. "Oh, I forgot to mention—Goten wasn't even using his full strength against Jiren."
Belmod's eyes narrowed, his face twisting in frustration. "Don't get so confident, Beerus. Jiren hasn't used his full power either!"
Beerus rolled his eyes, shifting his focus back to the competition stage.
On the stage, Jiren faced Goten with an unyielding gaze. "Is this… your true power?" he asked, his voice cold and unwavering.
"No, but I think it should be enough to defeat you," Goten replied, his tone steady.
"Then show me!" Jiren responded, throwing a lightning-fast punch with his right fist.
Bang!!
Goten met the punch with his left hand, catching Jiren's fist with ease. The two locked eyes, neither willing to back down. In an instant, Jiren's eyes glowed red as he unleashed a flurry of powerful punches, his fists moving so quickly they seemed to blur.
But Goten evaded each strike with grace, sidestepping and countering with equal intensity. The air around them crackled with energy as they exchanged blow after blow, each collision sending shockwaves across the arena.
The ground beneath them shattered under the force of their attacks, rocks and debris flying in every direction. With every strike, powerful gusts of wind erupted, spreading across the battlefield like a raging storm.
Meanwhile, on another part of the stage, Toppo was struggling against Goku. Realizing he was losing the upper hand, he recalled Belmod's words before the tournament, words that echoed in his mind now with newfound clarity.
With a deep breath, Toppo clenched his fists, summoning a surge of Ki that radiated from his body, causing the ground to tremble beneath him.
BANG!!
In an instant, Toppo's muscles swelled, his body transforming as he entered his God of Destruction form. His eyes glowed a fierce purple, and dark lines appeared across his body, radiating with an ominous aura of Hakai energy.
"Hakai!" he bellowed, his voice reverberating across the arena.
Goku's eyes widened, sensing the immense destructive power emanating from Toppo. He immediately took a more defensive stance, his face growing serious as he assessed his opponent.
Toppo raised his right hand, forming a massive sphere of Hakai energy, which he hurled toward Goku. Goku dodged to the side, watching as the Hakai sphere struck a large rock formation behind him, instantly disintegrating it into purple particles.
Goku felt a cold sweat on his forehead. If he'd been hit by that attack, he might not have survived unscathed.
Realizing the need for a higher level of power, Goku let out a breath, his expression determined as he activated Ultra Instinct. His movements became fluid and precise, his body reacting on its own as he prepared to face Toppo's God of Destruction form.
While Toppo and Goku prepared to clash again, Goku cast a quick glance at the battle between Goten and Jiren. He had heard from Whis that Jiren was a mortal who could surpass a God of Destruction. Part of him wished he could face Jiren himself, but with Toppo before him, he had no choice but to focus on the fight at hand.
With newfound resolve, Goku charged at Toppo, moving with incredible speed.
"Swoosh…"
BANG! BANG! BANG!!
Their fists collided as Goku and Toppo engaged in an intense exchange of attacks, neither willing to yield an inch.
Across the stage, Gohan was locked in combat with another member of the Pride Troopers, Zoire. After a fierce struggle, Gohan finally overpowered Zoire, knocking him out of the ring.
"Universe 11's Zoire is out!" the Grand Priest announced, and the Omni-King promptly pressed the icon on his Divinepad.
Meanwhile, high above the stage, Goten and Jiren's battle had escalated to new heights. They moved as streaks of red and white light, clashing in mid-air before plummeting back down to the ground in a storm of blows.
Bang!!!
With a powerful kick, Goten sent Jiren hurtling toward the ground, a cloud of dust erupting as Jiren crashed into a massive crater. Moments later, Goten landed nearby, watching intently as the dust settled.
Jiren rose slowly, standing in the center of the deep pit created by his impact. His eyes narrowed as he raised his right fist, channeling a golden beam of energy that shot toward Goten.
The beam streaked through the air, and Goten sidestepped, avoiding it by a hair's breadth. Behind him, the energy blast exploded upon impact with a rock formation, shattering it into pieces, some of which rained down on Goten.
Without hesitation, Jiren charged forward, his fists blazing with energy. Goten met him head-on, their fists and kicks colliding in rapid succession. Each blow created gusts of wind, lifting sand and debris into the air as their battle intensified.
The Omni-Kings struggled to keep up with the action, overwhelmed by the intensity of the battles occurring simultaneously.
On another part of the stage, Piccolo had wrapped his arms around Dyspo, attempting to hold him in place. Vegeta, seizing the opportunity, delivered a powerful punch that sent both Piccolo and Dyspo tumbling off the stage.
"Universe 11's Dyspo is out! Universe 7's Piccolo is out!" the Grand Priest declared.
As the two were eliminated, Goku saw his opening. He brought his hands together, channeling a deep blue energy wave in his palms.
"Kamehameha!" Goku roared, unleashing the powerful wave toward Toppo's Hakai energy.
BANG!!
The Kamehameha and the Hakai collided, their energies pushing against each other in a fierce struggle. Toppo gritted his teeth, using all his strength to hold back Goku's attack.
But Goku's determination burned bright. He let out a mighty yell, pouring every ounce of his energy into the Kamehameha, gradually overpowering Toppo's Hakai.
"No!" Toppo roared, his voice filled with desperation as Goku's Kamehameha pushed his own attack back toward him. In a final, overwhelming blast, Toppo was sent hurtling out of the ring, knocked out by his own Hakai energy.
