Traversing the Anime Multiverse with a System - Chapter 159
(A/N: I may have called Jirens Universe under Universe 12… I’m too lazy to go change all the previous chapters just know I meant Universe 11)
Soren sat back and watched as both Goku and Vegeta started trading blows back and forth with Jiren. And just from what Soren could see, Jiren was a complete monster, if Soren had not awakened Ultra Instinct, before coming to this battle, Jiren would mop the floor with Soren and his crew. As Soren watched the fight continue with Goku and Vegeta losing against Jiren, Soren noticed something, up in the sky, there was a figure watching the fight happen, Soren could sense that the figure was relatively weak, and was around Krillin’s strength, after Krillin learned to control God Ki, but the figure was invisible, so Soren couldn’t tell who it was. Soren just decided to continue watching the fight, as that was what the figure was doing anyway, and there was no malice intent leaking off of the figure, so Soren decided to leave it alone, until it made the first move.
[Vegeta! Take him from the other side!]: goku
[Hmph!… Don’t tell me what to do Kakarot!]: vegeta
Vegeta may have told goku not to tell him what to do, but Vegeta was slowly making his way to the other side of Jiren. Jiren then watched as the two fighters began to surround him, on both sides, all he did was get more serious, and release more of his pent up Ki, Jiren then started trading blows with both Goku and Vegeta while taking a few himself. Goku had placed his fist deep into Jiren’s sternum, while Jiren had planted his fist deep into Goku’s face sending him flying into some rubble, Vegeta had sent a kick towards Jiren, but Jiren had caught Vegeta’s foot, and sent him flying over to the same place Goku was sent.
[Hmph!… You will not beat me… I will win this Tournament for my Universe, and destroy you here]: jiren
Goku got up and thought up a plan, he then disappeared and reappeared rapidly around the stage, while placing a small dust size speck of Ki, he then charged Jiren, and attacked him, only to be thrown away just like before. Jiren was feeling confident, with his power, and began to walk towards Goku, and as he stepped onto one of the specks it blew up, decemating part of the stage as well, but this wasn’t the only thing, it had started a chain reaction, so when Jiren jumped back to his previous position after taking the brunt of the explosion, the other explosions began to explode on Jiren, while he just but his arms up in defence. After the explosion cleared, Jiren had his whole upper body exposed, as his Uniform was burnt and destroyed, Jiren was royally pissed now, as he began to pumble Goku into the ground, and when Vegeta showed up, Vegeta was also pummeled, and soon, Vegeta was on his last leg, as Goku was lying crippled on the ground, Vegeta spid out a few mouth’s full of blood, before Vegeta started to contemplate over his Pride as a Saiyan, his family, and everything that has happened so far.
‘Bulma… Trunks, Bulla… Kakarot!… Everything… Everything that has happened in my life up to this point… It will all be pointless if we lose today’: vegeta
Jiren had come up to Vegeta, who was hanging onto the edge of the stage, seconds away from falling off, and Jiren started to speak once more.
[You should have known you were going to lose… So why bother fighting… I’ll make sure to end this quickly]: jiren
Jiren began stepping onto Vegeta’s hand that was holding onto the stage, and made him lose his grip, and he began falling into the void, only to catch onto a piece of floating debris.
‘I-I can’t… I can’t continue… I will leave everything to the both of you… Kakarot… Soren… Save our Universe!’: vegeta
Vegeta then took all his remaining Ki, and sent it to Goku, who was still half unconscious on the ground, while Soren watched the fight continue. Vegeta then fell into the void and reappeared in the spectator seats, Krillin had given Vegeta a Senzu Bean, and Vegeta perked right up, then began watching the fight.
[I have taken out that guy… Now it’s your turn… Say goodbye to your Universe]: jiren
Goku began to get up, while struggling for a bit, and soon after, Goku had gained his balance and began staring at Jiren while catching his breath.
[Haf… Haf… No!… Haf… Haf… You are wrong… We will win]: goku
[Oh?… You will win?… Do you think you will win because you still have 3 other people to fight me?]: jiren
[No… Haf… Haf… We will win because our Universe believes in us!]: goku
Goku then began to think back to all the people who put their trust into him, as flashes flashed by inside his head.
‘Goku…’: piccolo
‘Goku!…’: Krillin
‘Dad!’: gohan
‘Idiot!’: soren
‘I believe in you… Kakarot!’: vegeta
‘Ehehe.. Goku!’: roshi
Goku then began to have a surge of power burst out from his body, as his hair started to gain a White hue, and a hot radiant aura burst out from within.
[Is this the power of trust from friends?… Then I will crush that power, and show you it’s meaningless against true strength]: jiren
Jiren’s body bulked up, as his power began to seep out, and overflow into the stage. Soren just watched on in excitement from being able to see the battle actually happen, and in person, Goku then began to fight with Jiren toe to toe, and Jiren was getting beat down, while Goku was also getting hit, but not as bad.
[Go Jiren!… We the Pride Troopers place our trust in you!… I Toppo place my trust in you!]: toppo
Jiren heard as his Universe began to cheer him on, but felt it was all pointless, Jiren felt that he was going to lose. That was when Jiren began to see old memories of his younger self, he saw all the hate and destruction on his village, family, and friends, and he was then reminded of why he became a Pride Trooper.
‘I-I must… I must win!… For my friends! For Toppo!… they put their trust in me, and I can’t let them down!’: jiren
Jiren felt a strong urge to get up and fight again, and that’s what happened. Jiren began fighting with Goku, and pushing him into a corner, and it was at that moment Goku was sent off the stage, and onto a floating piece of debris below, Goku then felt a surge of power spike out, and envelope the whole void with a hot and radiant aura. Goku shot back up to the main stage, where Jiren thought it was over, and when Jiren saw Goku come back, he saw Goku covered in a Grayish Silver film, that began to deteriorate, and what came from within that film was Goku, but his hair was completely Snow White.
[He has done it]: beerus
[Oh?… It appears that way Lord Beerus]: whis
Soren watched as the fight took another change once more, with Goku giving another beat down onto Jiren. The beat down was quick as the time remaining in the Tournament was 4 Minutes, and right as Goku was about to end the Tournament by throwing Jiren off the stage, Goku’s body contorted as all his bones snapped, Goku then spit out a bunch of blood from his mouth and collapsed. Jiren saw his moment, and threw Goku off of the stage, and began meditating to gather his energy and stamina, but Soren didn’t let that happen as he wanted to end this, now instead of waiting 4 minutes for the match to be called and won by default for having more participants. Soren then appeared before Jiren and spoke, while releasing some of his pressure, and mixing it with Kings Haki.
[So… You were able to defeat Goku… I applaud you, but it’s time for you to drop out… Even if I left you here to recharge, you have around 3 minutes and 30 seconds before the end of the match and Universe 7 is called the winners by default of having more contestants]: soren
[That is true… But what if I defeat them within that time?]: jiren
[Well it would be a draw then… Because you won’t defeat me]: soren
[You sound too cocky… Do you have proof I can’t defeat you?]: jiren
Soren just let out a sigh, before he closed his eyes and transformed into his Mastered Ultra Instinct from, and everyone watched as Soren’s long and beautiful hair turned White as the snow, with a small hue of a glowing Gold aura.
[That’s!…]: GP
The Grand Priest seems to know what this form is, but caught himself before he said anything. And the only person who heard him speak was SOren himself, everyone else was too intrigued with Soren’s form to pay attention to the Grand Priest.
[So… Will you give up?]: soren
[Hehe… No, I will just wait out the time that you can use that form before you collapse like that Goku!]: jiren
[*Sigh*… And I thought you were a bit smarter than that… This form is fully under my control, and I can spend hundreds of years in this form and it still won’t take a toll on my body… Goku could do the same if he had the foundation of a God’s body]: soren
Jiren started to sweat, but he still believed Soren was lying to him and began waiting, as Soren had yet to attack. Soon, the time limit was brought down to 1 minute and 20 seconds left, and Soren had yet to power down, or move, and Jiren decided it was pointless to keep standing there, he then walked over to the edge of the ring and turned back to Soren and spoke.
[You are strong… I know everyone hates you guys because they all thought you all caused the destruction of their Universes, but it was bound to happen, and you all just gave us a chance to fight to keep our Universes… I respect you, but it’s my time to go… Goodbye]: jiren
[Goodbye… Maybe in the future… We can have this chance to fight for real]: soren
Jiren just heard Soren’s words and gave a slight smile before jumping off the edge and into the void, Jiren then soon reappeared in the stands, while Zenith, Killua, and Gon also jumped in after seeing Jiren appear in the stands.
[Universe 11’s participants have all been eliminated… While Universe 7’s Soren is still in the ring… I now declare Universe 7 the winner of the Tournament!]: GP
[Ohhhhh!… So Fun!]: zen-oh
[Yes, super fun!]: zen-oh 2
One of the Zen-Oh’s raised his hand and erased Universe 11 from existence, while the Grand Priest came down to the stadium to greet Soren as the winner.
[Soren of Universe 7… You have won the Tournament of Power, and thus won the right to use the Super Dragon Balls to fulfill one wish, what will you wish for?]: GP
As the Grand Priest spoke those words, the Super Dragon Balls appeared in the void, and started glowing, Soren then began to speak his wish to the grand Priest
[I would like for all the Universes that have been erased to be brought back to life]: soren
[Are you sure about this?]: GP
[As sure as always… I don’t need anything, as I already have a loving family, loving children, and 3 loving wives… What else would I need?]: soren
[Then It will happen]: GP
The Grand Priest then turned towards the Super Dragon Balls and called out Super Shenron, and once Shenron appeared, the Grand Priest started to speak, but was interrupted by a loud voice that boomed throughout the Void.
(Divine Language)[I wish for Infinite Energy, that rivals even you the Divine Dragon]: ???
[Your wish is easy!]: SS (Super Shenron)
Super Shenron’s eyes glowed a Red color before he disappeared, along with the Dragon Balls. What was left was a shocked crowd, as well as a shocked Grand Priest, he knew someone was watching the whole match, and he knew they had no good intentions, but he didn’t know they knew the Divine Language.
[HAHAHAHAAAA!!!… I am the strongest being in the whole entire cosmos]: ???
Everyone turned their attention towards a man of a taller stature with White hair, Purple skin, with demon like ears, and was wearing a Black pair of glasses with Orange lenses. He had a Kodachi around the back of his hip, and wore a leather Black shirt with an IXI symbol in Orange on both sleeves of the shirt, he wore mustard Yellow, baggy pants, and Yellow boots, he also had Black gloves with Golden cuffs, Soren knew off the bat that this person was none other than Fu, and was now contemplating if he could win the fight.
[Hello again Grand Priest… Let me reintroduce myself… I am formerly known as Fu, but have now changed my name… My new name is Tianxia, and I am here to Kill Soren… Don’t take it personally, i’m just fulfilling a promise so I can keep my powers… Goodbye Soren!]: tianxia
