"Lord Quitela, it's your turn to enter the arena," the Angel Korn reminded from the side.
"I know that already! That damned Saiyan deliberately targeted my Universe 4. Don't blame me for what happens next!" Murderous intent flashed in God of Destruction Quitela's eyes.
Even though Lin Chuan had just overwhelmingly defeated God of Destruction Arak, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
He was Quitela! How could someone like Arak possibly be compared to him?
Besides, after fighting continuously, he refused to believe that Lin Chuan hadn't consumed any energy!
Now that Universe 4 had been eliminated, it was his turn to step in and teach that Saiyan a lesson.
Suppressing the rage in his heart, Quitela respectfully bowed toward Zeno on the Supreme Throne and the Grand Priest standing upon the void platform before making his entrance.
The next second, he leaped down and landed on the Tournament of Power stage, stopping directly in front of Lin Chuan.
This scene caused all the Gods of Destruction, Angels, and the remaining contestants to tense up once more.
Was Universe 4's God of Destruction Quitela planning to deal with Lin Chuan just like Universe 5's God of Destruction Arak had?
The arena now seemed to revolve entirely around Lin Chuan.
"Long time no see, God of Destruction of Universe 4," Lin Chuan greeted, already familiar with Quitela.
Eliminating Universe 4's last two fighters had been done specifically to lure Quitela into the arena.
"Hmph! Just because you defeated trash like Arak doesn't mean you can act as though no gods exist. You eliminated Universe 4's last two contestants precisely because you wanted me to come down and fight you, didn't you? As you wished... here I am." Quitela's aura gradually rose. Merely revealing a portion of his strength unleashed a divine power storm even more terrifying than Arak's at full power.
As the second strongest God of Destruction after Beerus, Quitela's strength had always been unfathomable. Furthermore, witnessing Lin Chuan's battle with Beerus a year ago had only fueled his competitive spirit.
Compared to a year ago, Quitela had improved tremendously. His true battle power was probably even greater than Beerus had been back then.
Quitela was fully prepared to fight Lin Chuan.
However, Lin Chuan had no intention of battling him immediately.
"Be patient. Instead of fighting me now, why not wait until all the Gods of Destruction have entered the arena? Then all of you can attack me together."
Hearing those words, Quitela's body trembled slightly as he immediately understood Lin Chuan's intentions. A crafty smile spread across his face.
"You arrogant Saiyan. Do you really think having some strength means you can challenge all the Gods of Destruction? Since you want to fight us all at once, I certainly won't stop you. I only hope you won't regret this decision."
Lin Chuan ignored Quitela's ridicule completely.
After locking onto his next target area, he once again crossed space and disappeared.
As Lin Chuan left, the smile on Quitela's face became even more sinister.
That overconfident Saiyan had no idea how terrifying the true power of the Gods of Destruction was.
The moment every God of Destruction entered the arena...
The balance would be broken.
And then it would be time to settle the score with Lin Chuan.
...
Meanwhile...
On Son Gohan's battlefield.
Now that he had finally gotten serious, the fight had become completely one-sided.
With his Ultimate Form at full power, he had already surpassed Super Saiyan Blue Caulifla.
During the first three exchanges, Caulifla had barely been able to defend herself.
By the next three, she was already completely overwhelmed.
Until now.
Bang!!!
With a thunderous impact, Son Gohan shattered Caulifla's defense and struck her squarely in the abdomen.
The tremendous force sent her flying uncontrollably until she crashed into a massive boulder before finally stopping.
At this moment, Caulifla could barely maintain her Super Saiyan Blue transformation.
Cold sweat covered her determined face.
Her breathing became ragged.
The divine aura surrounding her flickered on and off.
Just as Son Gohan was about to eliminate Caulifla, Cabba—who had been watching from the sidelines—finally made his move.
"I'll be your opponent!!"
With a loud shout, Cabba transformed into Super Saiyan Blue Full Power and charged toward Son Gohan at top speed.
Bang!!!
Cabba's all-out destructive punch was effortlessly stopped by Son Gohan with a single hand, completely neutralizing its force.
"So you've mastered Super Saiyan Blue as well?" Son Gohan said in surprise.
Cabba didn't answer.
Gritting his teeth, he entered his Divine Power Burst state, withdrew his fist, and launched another assault.
A relentless barrage of punches and kicks followed.
Cabba devoted himself entirely to battle, intending to defeat Son Gohan head-on.
Unfortunately...
The two simply weren't on the same level.
After only a few exchanges, Son Gohan had already figured out Cabba's attack pattern and found his weakness.
Bang! Boom!!!
Their fingers interlocked as they engaged in a pure contest of strength.
"HAAAAAAAH!!!"
Cabba roared.
His refined and powerful divine energy erupted like an endless volcano.
Every muscle in his body tensed.
The veins on his forehead bulged as he continuously forced out every last bit of his strength.
"Your Super Saiyan Blue is stronger than hers," Son Gohan said with a smile.
The pressure Cabba gave him was entirely different from what Caulifla had.
In terms of raw power alone...
Cabba was slightly stronger.
"But this level of power is still far from enough to defeat me."
With those words, Son Gohan stopped yielding and instantly exerted force to seize the advantage.
Feeling the overwhelming impact of Son Gohan's strength, Cabba's eyes widened.
This terrifying pressure...
He simply couldn't resist it.
With no ability to fight back, Cabba was tossed away like a toy, flying like a kite with its string cut.
Pressing his advantage, Son Gohan burst forward with even greater speed, appearing behind Cabba before smashing both fists down together.
Sensing the deadly danger behind him, Cabba's expression changed dramatically.
He forcibly twisted his body around and crossed his arms in defense.
Boom!!!!
Cabba was blasted away once more, crashing deep into a protruding Super Katchin rock formation.
So this is the power of Universe 7's Saiyans?! This Son Gohan doesn't even need to transform into a Super Saiyan to suppress us! Cabba was inwardly horrified, his pride thoroughly crushed.
He couldn't even defeat Son Gohan...
Forget about challenging Master Lin Chuan.
Whoosh~~!!
Space rippled.
Using high-speed movement, Son Gohan instantly appeared before Cabba.
Seeing Son Gohan arrive, Cabba immediately sensed danger.
Before he could react, Son Gohan's palm, filled with immense energy, was already aimed at him.
"Oh no!!!"
Every cell in Cabba's body screamed danger.
His instincts urged him to defend.
But it was already too late.
Boom~~!!!
The raging energy swallowed Cabba whole.
"AAAAAAAH!!"
Cabba screamed as the violent blast launched him completely off the arena.
Eliminated.
In Universe 6's spectator area, God of Destruction Champa twitched at the sight of Cabba's sudden elimination.
"So he got eliminated this quickly... and at a time like this." Champa sighed.
"I'm terribly sorry, Lord Champa. I wasn't his opponent," Cabba apologized immediately.
Champa paid no attention to the apology.
He had never blamed Cabba to begin with.
Those Saiyans from Universe 7 were all monsters.
If Cabba had actually beaten one of them, that would have been the real surprise.
Although irritated, Champa did not lose his temper.
"It's about time they used that thing," he muttered.
"If they use it, they might actually turn the situation around," Vados added.
Standing beside them, Cabba looked utterly confused.
What exactly was that "thing" Champa and Vados were talking about?
Why didn't he know anything about it?
...
The scene shifted back to Caulifla.
Still embedded within the giant rock, her condition was poor.
Although she remained transformed into Super Saiyan Blue...
She appeared to have lost consciousness.
"Big Sis!"
Kale hurried to Caulifla's side.
Hearing her voice, Caulifla slowly opened her eyes.
"Kale?"
After staring blankly for a moment, the memories of her battle with Son Gohan flooded back.
Recovering her senses, she immediately understood what had happened.
"So that's it... Son Gohan knocked me unconscious."
Caulifla struggled free from the rock, breathing heavily.
"Thank goodness you're okay, Big Sis. Cabba fought Son Gohan just now... and he's already been eliminated," Kale explained.
"Cabba too? Damn it."
Caulifla was shocked.
She hadn't expected Cabba to be eliminated so quickly.
At the same time...
She made up her mind.
The situation was already beyond saving.
If they didn't use that item now...
Both of them would simply be eliminated by Son Gohan.
"So you've already woken up?" Son Gohan's voice sounded from nearby.
Hearing him, both Caulifla and Kale immediately turned toward him and assumed fighting stances.
"Oh? Planning to fight me together? Fine. Come at me."
Son Gohan became interested.
His intuition told him the female Saiyan beside Caulifla was also extremely powerful.
Perhaps...
Even stronger than Caulifla.
"Don't get so full of yourself, Son Gohan! Do you really think you can fight both of us by yourself?!"
Angered, Kale activated the Legendary Super Saiyan energy within her.
Emerald-green flames erupted around her body.
Under Son Gohan's watchful gaze, her hair shot upward and turned brilliant green.
An overwhelming bloodline aura rapidly spread outward.
The tremendous shockwave distorted space itself.
The Legendary Super Saiyan had appeared!
Witnessing Kale's transformation, Son Gohan's expression changed in astonishment.
"This is... the Legendary Super Saiyan? I see now. Just like Uncle Broly... she's a Legendary Super Saiyan."
He had personally witnessed how terrifying the Legendary Super Saiyan's power could be.
Back then...
An out-of-control Broly had utterly dominated both his uncle Raditz and his father Son Goku.
Moreover...
A Legendary Super Saiyan possessed terrifying growth potential.
As time passed, their energy continuously increased as though it had no limit.
Fortunately...
Although Kale was Universe 6's Legendary Super Saiyan, her current aura wasn't overwhelmingly powerful.
She was still within manageable limits.
As long as he defeated her before her Legendary Super Saiyan power fully erupted...
Everything would be fine.
"Kale," Caulifla suddenly called.
"What is it, Big Sis?"
"During our fight, I realized Son Gohan still hasn't shown his true strength. What we've seen so far has only been child's play. Even if the two of us fight together, it probably won't be enough... Let's use that."
Having made her decision, Caulifla removed a green Potara Earring from her waist.
"I understand, Big Sis."
Following her lead, Kale also took out a matching green Potara Earring.
"Potara Earrings?"
Son Gohan recognized them immediately.
They were the Supreme Kai's Potara Earrings.
Someone had already used Potara Fusion earlier in the tournament.
Although they had originally violated the rules, they were now permitted.
For some reason...
The moment Son Gohan saw Caulifla and Kale take out the Potara Earrings...
He became excited.
Both female Saiyans possessed unfathomable potential.
One had mastered Super Saiyan Blue.
The other possessed the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation.
How powerful would they become after Potara Fusion?
He wanted to challenge his own limits.
"So you're planning to fuse with the Potara Earrings. Honestly, you should've done that from the very beginning."
Son Gohan folded his arms and waited expectantly.
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping them, Caulifla and Kale immediately put on their earrings.
Bzzz~~!!
Bzzz~~!!
The instant they wore the Potara Earrings...
Brilliant green light flashed from the earrings.
The next moment, a mysterious force pulled the two women toward each other.
BOOM~~~!!!
A pillar of black-and-white lightning erupted from the point where they collided.
It stirred the chaos of the World of Void.
An overwhelmingly powerful aura spread in every direction...
Announcing the birth of an extraordinary warrior.
Feeling this immense pressure, Son Gohan frowned slightly.
This energy...
Made him feel genuine danger.
As the lightning gradually faded...
Caulifla and Kale had disappeared.
Standing in their place...
Was the incomparably imposing fused warrior—
Kefla!
"So this is what fusion feels like? Amazing! It's like I have an endless supply of energy!!!"
Kefla's voice echoed with the dual tones of both Caulifla and Kale as the newly born warrior began adjusting to her new body.
