Chapter 281 - Chapter 28: The Tournament of Power Fourteen

On the arena, Vegeta shouted loudly, "You made me taste your destruction energy before, so now you can taste my destruction energy!" After saying this, Vegeta gathered destruction energy in the palms of both hands and shot it towards Toppo like a Ki blast.

Toppo could only brace himself, as the powerful destruction energy directly hit him, scattering its force onto the nearby pile of rubble.

The struck rubble instantly disintegrated into molecules.

Toppo was pushed back by the powerful energy wave, leaving deep marks on the ground beneath his feet.

Vegeta's display of strength shocked everyone present; the balance of victory once again shifted towards Universe Seven.

Vegeta did not want to entangle himself too much with Toppo; he aimed to defeat Toppo and then confront Jiren.

Kakarot and John Doe had already fought Jiren, so he did not want to fall behind.

Thus, Vegeta charged at Toppo, his fists covered in destruction energy, attacking him.

However, both had only recently learned to use destruction energy, resulting in a temporary stalemate.

Vegeta fired a blast of destruction energy that directly hit the arena, causing it to crack. The massive and sturdy arena finally could not hold up any longer and split in half.

Vegeta charged fiercely towards Toppo; propelled by his immense power, he transformed into a purple light rushing at Toppo.

Toppo shouted loudly as a purple sphere of destruction energy appeared before him; he attempted to block Vegeta's attack with it.

But was it effective? No!

Vegeta flew in and pierced through Toppo's sphere of destruction energy, landing a heavy blow on Toppo's cheek. Under the force of this powerful attack, Toppo was sent flying to the edge of the arena.

Vegeta landed on a nearby pile of rubble and unleashed a powerful attack that struck the arena near Toppo, causing both the arena and Toppo to plummet downwards.

Toppo ended up on the stands of Universe Eleven.

Now only Jiren remained for Universe Eleven.

After defeating Toppo, Vegeta leaped directly at Jiren and shouted, "Jiren, let's fight!" After saying this, he intercepted Jiren's attack ahead of John Doe.

Immediately, Vegeta and Jiren began to battle each other.

John Doe was pleased that Vegeta took over the fight; he quickly exited his Ultra Instinct state, gasping for breath.

Maintaining Ultra Instinct for an extended period was exhausting for John Doe.

He turned to look at Goku, who had already knocked Fuwa down below the arena; now he was fighting Hit.

Goku was still battling Hit and finally experienced Hit's Time Skip.

Hit continuously attacked Goku using Time Skip; Goku in Super Saiyan Blue form had almost no chance to counterattack.

"What's going on? When did Hit become this strong?" John Doe thought as he observed Hit.

After watching for a moment, John Doe finally understood why—Hit had evolved his Time Skip from 0.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

What does 0.5 seconds mean? At least for experts like John Doe, Goku, and Hit, it could kill opponents dozens of times over.

Goku was being pummeled by Hit; naturally, Goku's prolonged battles contributed to his severe exhaustion as well.

Meanwhile, Hit's base power had also seen significant breakthroughs, which was why his Time Skip could trap Goku now.

Suddenly Goku exited Super Saiyan Blue form and returned to his normal state.

"No way! If this continues, Goku will be defeated by Hit; I need to help." After saying this, John Doe prepared to transform into Super Saiyan Blue to assist Goku.

However, just as John Doe was about to act, Goku's hair color suddenly changed to a black-and-white dual color like John Doe's.

Ultra Instinct!

"This is unbelievable! Why does Universe Seven have so many powerful fighters!" The Destroyer God and Champa exclaimed in shock.

The two Zenos immediately jumped off their seats in joy and cheered loudly for Goku: "Goku! Goku! Goku!"

Hit could not believe that Ultra Instinct could evade even his Time Skip; he immediately activated Time Skip again and attacked Goku.

Unfortunately, Ultra Instinct showed no fear of Time Skip. As Hit launched an attack with his fist suddenly thrusting outwards, Goku effortlessly blocked it with ease.

"What?!" Hit exclaimed in disbelief. "This is impossible!"

Goku didn't respond; instead, he counterattacked Hit swiftly.

Hit used Time Skip to dodge but found that Goku's fist mysteriously appeared at his evasion spot and sent him flying away.

Faced with Goku's relentless attacks, Hit felt despair. This time his method of breaking through didn't resemble how he previously dealt with Dyspo; Goku completely relied on raw power this time to break through Hit's defenses.

Goku showed no signs of stopping as he rapidly attacked Hit again. "Bang!" Hit was sent flying once more.

Seeing that Hit was about to be knocked off the arena by Goku, Champa panicked and shouted loudly: "Hit! Hang in there! Our Universe Six's hopes rest entirely on you!"

Ignoring Champa's cries for help, Goku charged forward intending to knock Hit off the stage.

Just as Goku was about to strike Hit down, Hit suddenly yelled out loud. With both hands extended outward, a white light shot from him towards Goku.

Goku's speed suddenly slowed down tremendously as if time around him had been slowed down several times over.

Hit began his counterattack. Despite having his attack speed reduced significantly, Goku remained unfazed.

Even though his speed had been slowed down several times over while in Ultra Instinct state, he still managed to block Hit's attacks without issue. 

"Ugh!" Hit sighed deeply. He had exhausted all his trump cards but still couldn't land a hit on Goku.

As Goku adapted to Hit's attack speed and began countering back fiercely, he forced Hit back against the edge of the arena before landing a punch that knocked Hit off the stage completely.

After defeating Hit, Goku exited his Ultra Instinct state and stared silently at the bottomless abyss below the arena.
