Traversing the Anime Multiverse with a System - Chapter 155

After Soren and the others came back out of the training chamber, they noticed everyone had dispersed, and the only one waiting for them was Haku. Haku had wanted to join them, but Soren didn’t feel it was important to take Haku with him, and while Beerus was a bit sad to not see Champa waiting for him, he soon stopped caring, as he felt he could gloat about his breakthrough later. Soren was still in his Ultra Instinct form, while Beerus challenged Soren to a duel for the first time in a long time, Soren didn’t want to disappoint him, so he had asked if anyone wanted to return to the Training chamber for a short bit, and soon, everyone wanted to go back and watch the fight. After entering the room, both Soren, and Beerus flew out to a fair distance away, and faced each other, Beers then had a grin on his face, while Soren couldn’t help but smile as well.

[Goku! Give us the starting signal!]: beerus

Goku gave a slight smile before raising his hand into the air and shouting.

[Okay then… Ready!… Set!… Start!]: goku

Once Goku said start, both Beerus and Soren disappeared at blinding speeds, but everyone could see them, even if it was at a barely visible speed to them. They then remembered that the chamber is under 10 million times gravity, and both Beerus and Soren were still this fast, Krillin even felt if they fought outside, the Earth would explode just from their pressure. Krillin was actually thousands of times more powerful than his cannon self in Dragon Ball Super, so he wasn’t as depressed from Goku’s improvement anymore, so he also had a cocky side, and wanted to fight with strong opponents as well, and with this fact, Krillin began to spar with Killua, while Gon, began to spar with Zenith, then both Goku and Vegeta started fighting. While Piccolo, Roshi, and Gohan just decided to watch the fight between all of them, Soren’s fight with Beerus was quite evenly matched, due to the reason, that Beerus had fought with Whis for countless of years, hell millions of years, while Soren was only fighting people for a little over 150 years, less if you account for all the years Soren stayed passive, and out of the spotlight. Beerus had just thrown Soren by his tail far into the distance, while Beerus began to lick his fur, Soren then caught himself and charged towards Beerus once more, but no matter how Soren tried, Beerus was keeping up with Soren, and due to the autonomous movement of Ultra Instinct, any hit Soren was about to land, was instantly dodged, while causing any attack Beerus was about to throw, be interrupted.

[Hahaha… Beerus, you are still a slave to your newfound power, I have mastered this power, yet due to my inexperience, you are still better than me… I have only been able to do minimum damage to you… I guess I should kick it up a notch]: soren

When Beerus heard Soren, he felt Soren’s power skyrocket even higher, as his once Golden eyes became Purple with 6 Black rings surrounding a Black pupil. Soren then watched the future as Beerus came towards his position and struck, and after seeing all of this, Soren acted accordingly, while attacking Beerus at even faster speeds, to the point even Beerus’ Ultra Instinct can’t keep up. Soren kicked Beerus in the stomach, and sent him flying, while puking out a mouth full of blood, Soren didn’t even give Beerus a chance, as Soren teleported over to the flying Beerus, and began another onslaught of attacks, and after a few minutes of straight attacking, Beerus caught himself, and sent Destruction orbs towards Soren. Soren was hit square in the chest with 3 of Beerus’ Destruction Orbs, and was sent back a few hundred meters, before catching all 3 orbs with his hands open wide. Soren then began to compress the 3 attacks, and it was so painful Soren began to shout, while his whole body began to burn and char.

[AHHHHHHGGUUUGGRRR!]: soren

Soren felt his skin being burned to the bone, and being regenerated, only to be burned away again. After a few agonizing seconds, that felt like hours, not only to Soren, but everyone who watched, even Beerus, as he realized that his attack was too powerful, and if he killed Soren, then he could kiss the Universe goodbye. Beerus had faith in everyone else, but with Soren on the team, it was a guaranteed win, but now Soren was dying, and after a few more seconds, the 3 attacks were fused into 1 and began shrinking down to the size of a baseball.

[Haha… I compressed 3 attacks into 1 that is 100 times more powerful… If I could learn this move… Hehehe]: soren

Soren began plotting to learn the condensed form of the Destruction orb, as he already knew the Destruction orb skill,so the next step was shrinking it into a more powerful release. While Soren was thinking about the new skill, he heard his name be called by Beerus, and turned his attention towards Beerus.

[Hey… Let’s put our spar on hold, we still need to fight in the Tournament… I can’t have you dying on me now, can I?]: beerus

[Hehe… Like you could kill me… I just took 3 of your attacks and condensed them into 1 even more powerful attack]: soren

[Oh?… How much more powerful is this new attack?]: beerus

[About 100 times all 3 of those attacks, so singularly is about 300 times]: soren

[WHAT?!?]: beerus

Beerus was surprised to hear that Soren’s condensed attack could be 100 times stronger than all 3 of those attacks combined. Beerus then felt a shiver go down his back, while Soren saw that everyone else’s battle was over, he then took everyone out of the training room to go eat a feast before the match. After some time flew by, the 10 participants that were going to participate in the Universe Tournament were gathered at Capsule Corp, with both Whis and Beerus. Vados and Champa went back to Universe 6 to round up their participants 2 days ago, and Ariel went along with the both of them. Whis then saw that all 10 participants were gathered, and tapped his staff on the ground, and all 10 people, Beerus, and Whis had teleported into a Dark space that looked to be an endless void, and the second Soren appeared, his Sakura rang out.

{DING!… CONGRATS TO HOST FOR ARRIVING IN THE END OF THE WORLD}

‘The End of the what?’: soren

{THE END OF THE WORLD… IT IS A PLACE THAT EXISTS IN EVERY DIMENSION AND WORLD… A WORLD THAT HIGHLY EXPLAINS THE END OF THE WORLD IS (Highschool DxD) IT IS AN ENDLESS VOID USED TO TRAP POWERFUL BEINGS IN A SEAL… BUT HERE THE GRAND PRIEST HAS ALTERED THE END OF THE WORLD TO BE A PLACE INHABITABLE FOR MORTALS}

‘So would mortals normally not survive here?’: soren

{CORRECT!… MORTALS WILL DIE THE SECOND THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE DARKNESS… ONLY IMMORTAL BEINGS AND GODS CAN SURVIVE HERE}

Soren had a better understanding of this place, and understood the reason the ToP was held here. This was the only place that could test a beings true power, without destroying the Universe, it also explains why Zen-Oh is kept in a bubble up there. Soren began looking around and noticed that he felt restricted, Soren tried to circulate his Ki to make his body levitate, but it was all dispersed and absorbed by the surroundings, Soren then looked at the stadium where all the Gods of Destructions and their angels are, along with the Supreme Kai’s of the Universes. Soren then saw Vados holding Ariel in her hands, while standing next to Champa, Soren then saw that Vados was also looking towards him as well, Soren then gave Vados a wink, and blew her a kiss. Vados’ cheeks began to grow a Red hue, seeing that her Husband is blowing her kisses in front of everyone, some Gods of Destruction who were overlooking the contestants saw this, and looked towards the direction Soren was staring, and when their sights came across Vados, they got confused, until they noticed the Kid in her arms, as well as the striking resemblance the child had to Soren, it was then that some Gods put together the pieces and felt disgust, envy, and hatred towards Soren.

‘Lucky Bastard… Vados is so smokin hot, I wish I could have one night with her as well… Hehe, after the tournament I will try to get with her, and since that kid will be erased, it will be fine’: liquiir

If Soren had known what the Fox like God of Destruction was thinking, he would have killed the arrogant God right then and there. Another thing, Soren wasn’t the only one drawing attention, as the Gods of Destruction were looking towards Beerus who was covered in completely White fur, even his brother Champa was feeling jealous at the sight, and vowed that after he won this Tournament, he would also achieve Ultra Instinct. Soon, all the participants of the 12 Universes were present, and the Grand Priest floated towards a spot where everyone could see him, while the bubble housing both Zen-Oh’s and the 4 Omni Guards stood behind him, the Grand Priest then began to speak.

[Greetings! Gods of Destruction from all 12 Universes… We have gathered today due to Goku from Universe 7’s idea to host a Universal Tournament, and as you know… This Tournament will involve the survival of the Universes… Once all the participants of a Universe have lost, or been disqualified… The Omni King’s will erase the Universe… So I am proud to give the start to a wonderful Tournament… Fight well, and try to stay alive… Rules are, no killing other participants, no flying with Ki, only natural born flyers are allowed to fly, no outside Weapons or supplements that are not part of your body… And finally, show the Omni King’s a great show!… Let the Tournament Begin!]: GP

The Grand Priest had lowered his raised hand signaling for the start of the Tournament, he also notified all participants that this would be a Free For All between the 8 Universes that are participating. Once the battle commenced, Gohan spoke out for everyone to follow the plan he layed out earlier, that would help them win.

[Okay… Like I said earlier, we all should stay together in a group and fight whoever comes at us together]: gohan

As Gohan began re-explaining his plan, Vegeta was first to leave on his own, followed by Piccolo, Roshi, Killua, Gon, and Zenith. Soren just sat down with his eyes closed waiting for his target, while Krillin wanted to follow the plan, but also wanted to test his power, Krillin then left, and only Goku and Gohan were left, Goku then spoke.

[Sorry son… Nobody wants to follow the plan, but maybe you can stay back with Soren?]: goku

[No… It’s okay dad, you can leave too if you want]: gohan

[Oh good! I was itching to fight… I’ll be going then]: goku

Goku then left both Gohan and Soren in the same spot they were in, Gohan just let out a sigh, and caught Soren’s attention as he began to speak.

[Don’t worry… Even if you all lose, I can take out everyone here with relative ease, and end this in a matter of minutes]: soren

Gohan then turned his attention towards Soren, with a bit of shock, he then asked.

[Then why don’t you do that instead?]: gohan

Soren didn’t even bother to open his eyes as he spoke in a calm manner.

[Do you think that would be fun now?]: soren

[Who cares about fun! This battle is to determine the fate of our Universe]: gohan

Soren just gave a sigh towards Gohan, he then opened his eyes and looked towards Gohan before speaking.

[No… This Tournament does not determine the fate of our Universe… The winner does… And as for fun, do you think Zen-chan would be happy with a game that has ended in a matter of a couple minutes? Why do you think we have 45 minutes to fight? In a normal Tournament, we have never had a time limit to beat our opponent besides the preliminaries… The time limit is for Zen-chan, not us… Zen-chan will start getting bored after 45 minutes, and won’t have any fun if the Tournament ends early… So Gohan, I suggest you go find a few opponents to fight with before the time limit hits]: soren

Soren gave away the plan behind the Tournament, but not a complete give away, Soren also added some bullshit about the time limit to get Gohan thinking about that, rather than about the universal Destruction, and it worked as Gohan nodded his head, and jumped away to find someone to fight.

[Kukukuku… You are just giving up? I like it, you know that it’s pointless to fight… Just let your Universe disappear!]: ???

Soren didn’t even turn to face the random person who tried to fight with him, Soren just sent a blast of his Ki towards the person, and sent him flying off thousands of meters and off the stage and out of bounds. Soon, the Grand Priest announced another drop out, and Soren just chuckled at who it was who he disqualified.

[Universe 9’s Lavender is out!]: GP

Soren always thought Lavender was an idiot, along with his other 2 brothers, Red Soccer guy, and the Big Masochist, if Soren remembered correctly, their names were Basil, and Bergamo. Soren then went back to meditating, but what was unknown to him, was that he was being watched by someone participating in the Tournament of Power, the figure was wearing a Red and Black spandex suit with White gloves and boots, he also looked like Beerus, with Purple skin, giant ears, and very thin, but he had a more rabbit like figure.

[I should report this back to Jiren… He might take interest in this guy from Universe 7]: ???

The figure then disappeared and went to tell his commander about what he just witnessed. While this was going on, Goku and Vegeta were fighting their own people, while Roshi was fighting with a group of women, and right now, he had a blood streak running down his nose, with a lecherous look in his eyes, as he came back towards Soren.

[You get a good look, you Dirty Old Man?… Looks like it]: soren
