"How is this possible? How can such a powerful force come from your trivial love?" Ribrianne shouted in disbelief as she felt the cracks in her fist.
"Hmph! Why wouldn't it be possible? The power of love knows no bounds; it's just that you have forced your own definitions upon it!" Android 18 retorted loudly, channeling her strength.
The already fragile fist that resembled porcelain was completely shattered by Android 18's blow.
With a leap, Android 18 ascended to Ribrianne's arm and charged toward her head.
Ribrianne swung her other hand to attack Android 18, but with a light jump, Android 18 easily evaded the attack.
Realizing that her attacks were futile against Android 18, Ribrianne opened her mouth and began to gather a purple energy surge.
Countless purple energy beams shot towards Android 18.
Dodging the barrage of beams, Android 18 was about to be hit when Android 17 suddenly dashed in front of her, activating an energy shield to block all of Ribrianne's attacks.
"Android 17!" Seeing him unharmed, Android 18 let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry! I'll cover you. You go on the offensive!" Android 17 replied.
"Alright, let's go!" Android 18 declared as she charged forward, delivering a powerful punch aimed at Ribrianne's head.
"You think I'll lose?!" Ribrianne shouted defiantly as she unleashed a thick purple energy wave toward Android 18.
Without dodging, Android 18 charged directly into the wave, shattering it with sheer force and driving straight through to strike at Ribrianne's forehead.
The gigantic form of Ribrianne slowly transformed into glowing particles and vanished from the arena, while Ribrianne herself was knocked off the stage and landed among the spectators from Universe Two.
"I'm sorry; I lost," Ribrianne quietly apologized to her comrades—the Supreme Kai and Destroyer God of Universe Two.
The female Destroyer God comforted her, saying, "Ribrianne, you don't need to apologize. You gave it your all; your opponent was simply too strong. I didn't expect any other universe to possess such powerful love."
The Grand Priest announced loudly: "All ten warriors from Universe Two have been eliminated. Thus, Universe Two has lost the match and will be erased!"
As soon as the Grand Priest finished speaking, both Zenos raised their tiny hands and clapped them together. Instantly, everyone from Universe Two—except for their angels—vanished from the stands.
After defeating Ribrianne, Androids 17 and 18 quickly rushed over to join John Doe and the others in their fight against Aniraza, the fused warrior from Universe Three.
Seeing Universe Two eliminated struck a chord with Aniraza. He let out a furious roar as his body erupted with towering purple flames, clearing away many of the debris scattered across the arena floor.
Now, Universe Seven was down to five fighters against Aniraza.
Goku shouted, "Let's spread out and attack from all directions!"
Gohan excitedly added, "Yes! With so many of us, he won't be able to react in time!"
With that, the five warriors launched their assault on Aniraza from various angles.
Just when they thought they could land hits on him, Aniraza's green energy lights flashed on either side of his head. He moved with incredible speed and effortlessly sent Goku and the others flying once more.
However, John Doe managed to dodge Aniraza's attack just in time.
Recognizing Aniraza's overwhelming strength, John Doe decided it was time to stop holding back.
In an instant that went unnoticed by everyone else, John Doe unleashed his ultimate technique—drawing upon his inner rage and activating his Transcendent Super Saiyan power.
Unlike before when his anger manifested as meaningless roars typical of Saiyans, this time it was the wrath he had grasped after witnessing the might of nature from a cliffside perspective.
Imagining that overwhelming force in his mind caused John Doe's aura to rise dramatically.
His hair transitioned from blue to a blend of blue and green hues as an incredibly powerful blue-green aura erupted around him.
"What is this?!" everyone gasped in astonishment. They turned their attention toward Caulifla standing nearby and realized that John Doe possessed an additional hidden power similar to what she had previously displayed.
This must be what Vegeta referred to as a legendary Super Saiyan who appears once every thousand years—no one expected John Doe would possess such potential!
Most importantly, unlike Caulifla's transformation, John Doe's Transcendent Super Saiyan power was under his control.
With determination in his eyes, John Doe charged at Aniraza. Each time Aniraza attempted to strike him down with precision punches aimed at blocking him, John Doe remained unfazed and absorbed the attacks instead.
His target was singular—the energy core crystal located on Aniraza's forehead.
Just as John Doe was about to strike Aniraza's forehead crystal, a powerful red energy beam shot out toward him.
Unable to fly due to exhaustion, John Doe was struck by this mighty red beam and sent crashing back onto the arena floor with tremendous force.
However, he quickly pushed aside the debris covering him and stood up unharmed.
After knocking John Doe away, Aniraza swung his fist down toward the arena floor where John Doe had just been standing. A red energy void appeared behind him.
"John Doe! Watch out!" shouted Android 18. She leaped into action to push him away just in time but was struck by a fist emerging from the red energy void herself. She was sent flying off the stage into oblivion below.
"Android 18!" The sudden elimination shocked everyone around them.
John Doe prepared to teleport in an attempt to save her but was met with Aniraza's fist crashing down on him instead—pinning him firmly against the arena floor.
"Damn it!" The unexpected loss of Android 18 fueled John Doe's rage even further. With a fierce shout echoing through the arena, he seized Aniraza's hand and hurled him away with tremendous force.
Aniraza crashed heavily onto the arena floor but quickly regained his footing. He gathered red energy into one hand and launched massive red energy blasts toward everyone on stage.
The enormous red energy blasts filled the air above them before dispersing into countless beams targeting all warriors present—especially those from Universe Seven who were being prioritized for elimination.
Initially dodging frantically, they soon realized that there were too many beams coming their way. They resorted instead to firing energy blasts in defense against Aniraza's relentless assault.
The arena erupted with explosive sounds as chaos reigned once again.
