Goku brought Old Lady Fortuneteller to Hell to convince Frieza, while the others waited at Bulma's house.
As for Frieza, John Doe didn't care if he was there or not. With his current strength, even if Frieza were to betray them, he was confident he could subdue him. So, John Doe was now playing with his daughter, Lazuli, alongside Android 17.
As time passed, the 48-hour preparation period was almost over. When only half an hour remained, Goku and Frieza appeared before everyone using Instant Transmission.
Both of them looked battered, indicating they had a fierce battle in Hell. The outcome was obviously Goku's victory, otherwise, Frieza wouldn't have followed Goku obediently.
John Doe took out two Senzu Beans and gave one to each of them. Whis waved his staff, repairing Goku's torn battle suit.
Beerus said, "Alright, now we have all ten fighters. Let's head to the Tournament of Power. Everyone, hold hands, and Whis will take us there."
Everyone held hands, but no one wanted to hold hands with Frieza. Vegeta was a step behind, and by the time he realized it, he was the only one left without a partner.
Frieza happily shouted, "Vegeta, come here and hold my hand."
Vegeta, on the other hand, was very unhappy and angry. He yelled, "Why do I have to hold hands with this guy, Kakarot? You brought him, so why don't you hold his hand?"
Beerus shouted, "What's the matter with you? Stop being so sentimental. Hurry up and hold his hand!"
Seeing Beerus getting angry, Vegeta reluctantly held Frieza's hand.
After everyone formed a circle, Whis contacted the Grand Priest, and they all disappeared from Bulma's house.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves on an enormous circular arena. In the center stood a massive pillar, and several Destroyer Gods were repairing the arena, which seemed to have been partially destroyed.
The appearance of the warriors from Universe 7 drew some attention, but everyone just glanced at them and turned away. After all, Universe 7 was the second weakest universe in terms of power, and it didn't warrant much attention.
Beerus, seeing that the warriors from other universes weren't paying much attention to them, heaved a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "You've seen the rules of the Tournament of Power."
"In 48 minutes, if there are still two or more warriors from different universes on the arena, the universe with more warriors wins."
"Now, because of our universe's power level, we aren't being taken seriously by the other universes. So, you need to avoid fighting and try to survive until the end with as many of us as possible. Understand?"
Unfortunately, not many of the ten warriors from Universe 7 listened to Beerus's strategy. John Doe even took Android 17 to tour the arena, as if they were on a vacation.
Seeing this, Beerus became furious and was about to teach these disobedient warriors a lesson.
Luckily, Whis stopped Beerus. He said, "Forget it, Lord Beerus. I think even if they listen to you now, when the real fight starts, they'll still fight on their own."
Hearing Whis's words, Beerus had no choice but to suppress his anger again. There was nothing he could do; his life was in the hands of these people.
John Doe and Android 18 went to the edge of the arena and peered down. Below was an endless abyss, deep and terrifying.
Whis said, "Although it's an endless abyss below, you don't need to worry. If anyone falls off the arena, they'll be teleported to the spectator stands."
"Also, in this tournament, you can't use techniques like Bukūjutsu and Hikōjutsu. For fairness, the arena has a spell that makes everyone experience the gravity of their home planet."
When Goku heard that Bukūjutsu couldn't be used, he lightly jumped up. He jumped very high but couldn't stay in the air and fell back to the arena after reaching the highest point.
At this moment, the warriors from the tenth universe also arrived. Seeing that they had a bird-type warrior, Raditz asked, "Doesn't that mean warriors with wings will have a huge advantage? If they don't want to come down, we'll never be able to reach them."
Whis replied, "That's right. There's nothing we can do about it. It's their natural physical gift, and we can't restrict or limit it."
At this moment, a figure teleported to the edge of Universe 7. Everyone looked closely and saw it was the sixth universe's participant.
John Doe also saw Hit and immediately went to greet him.
Hit saw John Doe and nodded slightly. Then he said, "John Doe, since our last battle between our two universes, I've further improved my Time-Skip. This time, I won't lose to you."
John Doe also nodded and said, "Good. I look forward to your challenge. But I have to say, I'm not the strongest in Universe 7. Over there, Son Goku and Vegeta are no weaker than me."
"Moreover, this is a battle between eight universes. No one knows which universe will survive until the end."
Hit was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Rest assured, I won't be eliminated before fighting you."
On the other side, Cabba saw Vegeta and immediately went to greet him. "Master, long time no see!"
Vegeta nodded at Cabba and introduced him to Raditz and Nappa.
Raditz and Nappa were also very surprised. They didn't expect there to be Saiyans in the sixth universe.
Goku saw two green-skinned Saiyan participants from the sixth universe and happily went to shake hands with them, but he didn't expect to be slapped away.
Frieza saw Frost, who looked very similar to him, and the two immediately acknowledged each other and went to the side to talk.
As time passed, seven of the eight participating universes had arrived, with only the eleventh universe left.
Just as time was about to run out, the eleventh universe's participants arrived.
