Facing the onslaught of dense energy attacks, John Doe stood firm, hands on his hips, and unleashed a powerful Kamehameha wave aimed directly at Aniraza.
The Kamehameha absorbed the red energy beams fired by Aniraza and surged forward, transforming into a brilliant blue light that shot toward him like a massive beam.
Aniraza raised his hand to block the attack, but ultimately, John Doe's extraordinary Kamehameha shattered his defense, destroying the arm he used to shield himself.
Had Aniraza not turned his head just in time, that Kamehameha could have pierced straight through his skull.
With a loud explosion, Aniraza's severed arm spun through the air before crashing heavily onto the arena floor.
"Wow!" Many surviving warriors in the arena gasped in astonishment at John Doe's overwhelming display of power.
Even someone as formidable as Jiren couldn't help but express surprise.
Seizing the moment, John Doe unleashed another burst of energy and charged toward Aniraza, aiming to strike at his energy core located on his forehead.
However, Aniraza crouched down and used his remaining arm to slam the arena floor. With all his might, he leaped high into the air to evade John Doe's attack.
In mid-air, Aniraza let out a roar as he unfurled a pair of massive purple wings from his back.
Using these wings, Aniraza hovered above the arena and raised one hand high, summoning an enormous red energy sphere above him.
"What does he mean by that?" Goku shouted.
"Is he planning to blow us and the arena away?!" Android 17 speculated.
John Doe suggested, "Everyone, unleash your full power and prepare to counter this attack!"
Just as John Doe finished speaking, Aniraza hurled the massive red energy sphere downward toward them.
"Ha!" All warriors from Universe Seven shouted in unison as they powered up.
John Doe, Goku, Gohan, and Android 17 combined their energies into powerful blasts aimed at the incoming red sphere.
Unfortunately, despite their combined strength, they struggled to fully counter Aniraza's overwhelming attack.
The colossal red energy sphere continued its descent toward them with relentless force.
Frieza, who had been observing from a distance, sensed the urgency of the situation. If John Doe and the others were eliminated, it would leave only him and Vegeta against the remaining fighters from other universes.
Without hesitation, Frieza transformed into his Golden form and swiftly dispatched Quincy from Universe Eleven with a powerful strike that sent him tumbling off the stage.
Frieza quickly joined John Doe and the others. Together, they unleashed their full power against the massive red energy sphere.
With Frieza's assistance, they managed to halt its descent momentarily—a rare stalemate formed between their combined forces and Aniraza's attack.
Hit wanted to assist John Doe's group but found himself blocked by Jiren instead.
"If you want to get past me, you'll have to go through me first. Do you wish to fight me?" Jiren asked as he stared down Hit and his allies.
At that moment, Android 17 turned to his companions. "Hold on! I'll take care of this!" He said before charging toward the colossal red energy sphere.
As he approached it, he activated his protective barrier just before making contact with it.
"17!" everyone shouted in surprise; no one expected him to charge directly into such a dangerous attack.
But they couldn't afford to move; without 17's strength, the massive red sphere began pressing down again toward John Doe and the others.
Just when it seemed all hope was lost, 17 burst forth from within the red sphere. He dropped his barrier and immediately threw a punch aimed directly at Aniraza's forehead crystal.
The enormous red energy sphere had gathered all of Aniraza's power. Faced with 17's sudden assault and unable to react in time due to shock, he watched helplessly as 17's fist shattered the crystal on his forehead.
With that impact, everyone felt a significant reduction in pressure from the red energy sphere above them.
Cheers erupted among John Doe's group as they pooled their remaining strength together and launched an attack back at Aniraza's red energy sphere.
Ultimately, with a thunderous roar from Aniraza echoing throughout the arena, he was sent crashing offstage by Universe Seven's combined might.
The four warriors from Universe Three fell apart after being knocked off stage; they landed among their fellow Universe Three spectators in disarray.
The Grand Priest announced loudly: "All ten warriors from Universe Three have been eliminated! Thus I declare Universe Three cleared!"
As soon as he finished speaking, both Zenos raised their tiny hands and clasped them together tightly. Instantly, everyone from Universe Three—except for their angels—vanished from sight while leaving only their angel behind in sorrow.
With Universe Three eliminated, only Universes Six, Seven, and Eleven remained in contention now.
Universe Seven still boasted six fighters while Universe Six had three left standing. Universe Eleven was down to just two fighters remaining.
At this point in the tournament with only twelve minutes left on the clock—if this stalemate continued—there was little chance for even Jiren's immense power to secure victory for Universe Eleven.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from Universe Eleven's clownish Destroyer God: "Jiren! It's your turn! Quickly eliminate Universe Seven's warriors!"
Hearing his Destroyer God's command prompted Jiren to lower his arms and fixate his gaze on John Doe's group.
As Jiren turned toward them with an emotionless expression on his face, tension filled Universe Seven as they braced themselves for what was coming next.
"Can you withstand my attacks?" Jiren asked coldly before vanishing from sight in an instant. He reappeared behind Gohan and Android 17 simultaneously—delivering powerful elbow strikes aimed directly at both of them.
