Using his supreme speed, Dyspo attempted to hit Boros, using kicks. Yet having a speed barely slower than Dyspo's, Boros managed to block each of his attacks, all while smiling.
"Interesting! You're very quick."
Clenching his fist, he pointed it at Dyspo. Unfortunately, the Pride Trooper tilted his head to the side to dodge his punch.
" Who do you take me for? " The hero got angry. " I am the fastest being in the universe! You can never touch me. "
He then hit Boros with a kick that pulverized Boros' cheek.
Taking a step back, the warrior of Universe 4 had his face turned back. Remaining motionless in this position, he then ends up chuckling.
" Yes ! You are powerful! I like this. "
Feeling his energy increased, Dyspo immediately jumped back to get away from Boros, who seemed to be enjoying himself.
" You know what, Dyspo? I wish your hero organization was in my universe. "
" What ? Why ? "
" To be hunted by powerful fighters, of course. " Boros asserted. " Guys like you who want to stop a guy like me… I'm sure we would have had to fight every day! It would have been so much fun. "
"Fun, you say? Do you find it amusing to destroy entire peoples, just so that you can fight against members of the righteous? "
" Of course ! To be able to effectively control an empire, a tyrant must always be seen as an invincible monster who is not afraid of facing vigilantes! Not only would I have become the emperor, but on top of that, I would have had fun fighting you. "
" Tsss! And the heroes of your universe? Isn't it enough for you to have fun? Isn't that Saitama strong enough to defeat you? "
" Yes ! And he even beat me already! But you know what? I don't feel any hatred towards him! Because, thanks to him, I knew then that I was not the invincible being who should have spent the rest of his days living a monotonous life. "
Clenching his fist, he asserted with a broad smile.
" Yes ! Thanks to Saitama, I finally found a rival! A rival I want to fight over and over again! And for that, I need the dragon balls. "
" What is the connection ? "
" As a wish, I want Saitama and I to achieve immortality. " Boros asserted. " Therefore, we will be able to fight against each other until the end of time. "
" You are crazy ! I would never let you have your wish. "
" And how do you think you can stop me ? "
" Like that. "
As he had done with Saitama, Dyspo rushed around Boros, before attacking him a multitude of times, in all directions. He was so fast that Boros didn't have a chance to see him. Taking each of the attacks, Boros didn't move an inch. Just gritting his teeth, he concentrated. So, compared to Saitama, he began to sense the energy around him. Stopping using his eyes to see, he managed to feel Dyspo's ki all around him. Finally opening his eye, he cried out.
" I find you ! "
Then suddenly rushing forward, he let his energy leave his body to go completely white.
" METEORIC BURST ! "
Increasing all his statistics, Boros found himself in an instant in front of Dyspo who was surprised to see him position himself in front of him.
" I've got you. "
Creating a ki-blast, Boros spotted Dyspo dodging his attack by leaping over the energy ball. Then his foot hit Boros' face, knocking him to the ground.
" You won't have me with this kind of technique. "
However, he saw Boros stand up, without the slightest scratch on his face.
" You are fast, I agree! Unfortunately, now that I'm in this form, your attack level is way too low to do me any damage. "
" What? "
" I explain to you ! The '' METEORIC BURST '' is my trump card! The cells of my body have undergone a mutation which allowed me to obtain a considerable gain of power due to this form! Normally every time I use it I shorten my life! However, thanks to Cognac's advice, I learned to master this transformation and become one with it! I can use it without my body suffering any consequences! It's fabulous, isn't it? "
" Tsss! I don't care at all ! And you know what ? Let's say you beat me, your transformation will never allow you to defeat Jiren! You are doomed, no matter what. "
" Yes ! Indeed, it is quite possible! However, you never know what the future holds! In the meantime, you are on my way to victory. "
He then ran to Dyspo, wanting to show him a sample of his true power.
" Let's go. "
However, a huge fist slammed into his face, stopping him dead in his tracks and pulling him back.
" Free, microbe. " Sea King ordered him. " This guy is mine. "
" What ? " Dyspo wondered. " Hey, isn't that supposed to be your ally? "
" That sucker? Not even in dreams ! I am Sea King! The strongest being in Universe 4! I'm here to defeat you all! And once I got the dragon balls, I could rule the world of the gods. "
Making his muscles inflated, he in turn released his energy to intimidate Dyspo.
" What do you think of that? "
Indeed, the power of Sea King had greatly increased since Quitela had brought it out of the underworld. And anyone could have been terrified of fighting him. Nevertheless, knowing how to assess someone's ki, Dyspo soon noticed something: Sea King's energy was less than Boros's.
" Hahaha! " Giggles Sea King. " Admire the power of the next master of the universes. "
" Hey! "
Turning his gaze, Sea King saw Boros walking towards him, gazing downcast.
'' What do you want, poor sucker? This guy is mine! Go somewhere else to play in a sandbox! You are no match for real fighters! You are only a… "
In an instant, Boros' hand gripped her neck and strangled her. An immense force crushed the back of Sea King's neck preventing her from breathing. Then, the sea creature felt its feet lift off the ground, while Boros had no trouble showing his supremacy. Struggling, Sea King grabbed Boros' arm and squeezed it with all his might. It was useless, none of his attempts succeeded in loosening the grip of his "partner". Finally, looking up at him, Boros showed anger in his eye, as he cried out.
" I think it is necessary that we have a little discussion right away! Our universe 4 has a team of ten warriors! And among those ten warriors, there is one person whose strength is less than that of the other nine fighters! And it's you, Sea King! You are the weakest of the team. "
" Let go of me ... right away. "
" My concern, I'm number two on our team! So, if I can tell you a little advice,… "
Bringing Sea King closer to his face, he ordered her.
" Don't ever get involved in any of my fights again! Did you understand me correctly? "
And before Sea King could answer him, Boros put his hand on his abdomen and created an explosion that threw him out of sight. Screaming as it soared through the air, Sea King crashed into a crash against a cliff. Seeing the latter breaking into pieces, Quitela roared.
'' But what are you doing, you fools? You are on the same team. "
" It might not be such a bad thing, Quitela-sama. " Cognac retorted. " After all, Sea King needed some coaching if you want my opinion. "
Seeing this, Belmod thought for a few seconds. His team only consisted of three fighters. Ordinarily, even if Jiren were the only warrior on his team still on the pitch, Belmod would always be certain of his victory. Nevertheless, he had by no means anticipated that Goku and Saitama could be such powerful adversaries. If they teamed up again, they had a chance to push Jiren hard enough off the field to eliminate him.
He had to start saving his last warriors for later. Concentrating, he entered into telepathy with Dyspo.
"Dyspo, can you hear me ? ''
"Belmod-sama? What do you want ? ''
"Stop this fight and run away ? ''
'' What? But why ? I can defeat Boros ! ''
'' I have no doubt about it ! However, you risk losing a lot of energy in this fight! We cannot afford to lose a new fighter! From now on, we will adopt the strategy of endurance! Go quickly join Toppo and Jiren. ''
Despite disapproving of this order, Dyspo could only nod. Then, before Boros could react, he ran away.
" Hey! What are you doing ? I won't allow you to run away. "
Getting ready to pursue him, Boros dodged a jet of blue flames in time. Taking the attack in his place, a rock behind him began to melt.
" What … ? " Boros wondered.
" I've got you. " Starjun asserted, standing on a rock.
" I thought I was clear. " Roared Boros. " I hate that one intervenes in my fights. "
Running, Dyspo tried to reach Jiren and Toppo, as ordered by Belmod. Nevertheless, he still did not understand the god's decision. Regardless of whether he won or not, Dyspo was certain of Jiren's victory. So what was Belmod afraid of? From Goku and Saitama? Impossible ! Jiren had already beaten them. It was unthinkable that these two could defeat him.
Continuing to run, Dyspo suddenly saw a huge jaw open in front of him. Surprised, he braked suddenly before jumping back. Closing his jaws, Koro could only brush against the hero, who had almost died of a heart attack.
" Motherfucker ! Where do you come from? "
" Universe 11, your team is made up of people who uphold justice, right? "
Showing himself, Seryu cried out.
" I want to fight someone who has a different justice than mine. "
" The dog-sitter of universe 9 ? "
" Me too, I want to fight against you. "
Turning around, Dyspo saw Lida behind him.
" It seems that you are the fastest being in your universe! In this case, I want to test my own speed in a fight against you. "
Finding himself surrounded by the two warriors, the hero of universe 11 hesitated. On the one hand, he had no fear of facing these two opponents whom he thought was easy enough to defeat. However, he had received an order from Belmod.
Weighing the pros and cons, he finally asserts.
" I gave up a fight that I could have won against Boros! However, there is no way I will miss the opportunity to easily defeat two people like you! Very well, I take up your challenge! It will be a two to one. "
" No way. " The other two fighters retorted. " It's everyone for himself! You are both my opponents. "
Attacking like a bulldozer, Big Mom destroyed everything in its path, while Erza was forced to constantly retreat.
Seeing his attack having no effect, Big Mom immediately ordered.
" Prometheus! Zeus! "
" Yes, Mama. " The two comrades assured, before spitting flames and lightning in the direction of the mage.
Seeing a multitude of attacks rushing at him, Erza ends up stopping, before running to the side, in an attempt to escape them.
" Haha! Where do you think you're going ? " Prometheus questioned, standing in front of her.
" You have no escape. " Zeus assured him, finding himself behind her.
Stopping immediately, Erza found himself unable to flee, while the two had no hesitation in attacking her.
" Either charred. " Cried Prometheus, before swinging his flames!
" Or then struck down. " Zeus chuckled, as his thunderbolt shot towards Erza.
Continuing to stand still, Erza ends up making a choice. Turning around then, she ran towards Zeus' thunderbolt, as she changed her armor.
" Hahaha! Sorry but it's useless! You are running towards your own defeat. "
In response, Erza summoned a saber, just before being hit by his attack. Then, Zeux's smile disappeared, at the very moment when she could see her continue to advance while not seeming in any way infected by her lightning.
" But that … ? "
" LIGHTNING EMPRESS ARMOR ! " Erza cried, while using it to limit the damage the electricity could do to her.
Then, in a fraction of a second, Zeus saw her disappear.
" But what … ? "
Suddenly screaming in pain, the cloud felt itself split in two, as Erza found himself behind him, already putting away his sword.
" And one. "
" Zeus ? " Mama wondered, seeing the two pieces of her soldier fall to the ground.
" You will pay for it. " Roared Prometheus, advancing towards Erza.
Then growing in size, it tripled in size, while asserting.
" My power has no limit! The more I grow in size, the more powerful I become. "
" There is an expression that says '' The taller you get, the taller you fall ''! " Erza retorted.
" Grrr! Insolent! "
Swelling his cheeks then, Prometheus created a gigantic blaze that burst at Erza.
Still so calm, she only needed a few seconds to change her armor, before brandishing a large shield in front of her. Lick by the flames, the surface of the object managed to disperse them, without Erza being once threatened by the attack.
" MAMAMA ! "
Diving in time to the side, Erza dodged in extremis Big Mom's fist as the latter had jumped in front of her, before striking her shield. Pulverizing him in one blow, she forced Erza to step back further, the time to create two new swords.
"She has phenomenal strength. " Erza remarked. " If she hits me, just once, it might be the end. "
" Impressive, you are very fast. " Big Mom noticed. " You may not be anything like that but I can detect in you a certain potential! If I had met you in other circumstances, I might have offered to work for me. "
" Even in another situation, I would have refused. " Erza retorted, remaining completely serious. " For me, it's Fairy Tail from life to death. "
" Napoleon! " Cried Big Mom.
" Yes, Mama. " Said his hat, jumping in the direction of his hand.
Transforming then, Napoleon became a huge saber, provided with a wicked smile, which Big Mom hastened to grab hold of.
" COGNAC! "
Sensing danger approaching, Erza immediately ran towards Big Mom, before jumping towards her. Brandishing her two sabers, she pointed them at her opponent, ready to use them to defeat him.
However, raising her arm in the air, Big Mom ends up lowering Napoleon with all his might towards Erza. Forced to block him, the latter crossed her sabers in front of her to stop him. But no sooner did the three sabers hit each other than cracks appeared on Erza's.
" What … ? "
Using more power, Big Mom threw Erza to the ground and Erza felt her back hit the arena head-on. Gritting her teeth, however, she could not help releasing her sabers, which fell further.
" You are doing like a rat. " Prometheus assured, swelling his cheeks again.
Seeing that he was about to attack her, the mage hastened to change her armor. Still, she was stopped dead and let out a howl of pain as lightning shocked her.
" You let your guard down. " Zeus asserted, having resumed his form of a big black cloud. " Too bad for you, I have an intangible body! No matter how much you cut me, I'll always come back. "
" It's over for you. " Assured Prometheus, before spitting out his flames. " The victory is ours. "
Trying to get up, Erza was shocked again by Zeus, to make sure she couldn't dodge him.
" Damn it ! I can't lose now! I must … ! "
Thinking back to her guild friends, she cried out.
" I must protect them. "
" ERZA ! "
" He? " Zeus wondered, seeing a figure jump to find himself in front of the flames of Prometheus.
Touched by these, the figure remained standing like an I, before simply sucking in deeply to swallow the flames of the sun.
"What?"
And a few seconds later, all the flames disappeared, to make way for Natsu. Licking his lips, he assured.
"My god, what a feast! It has been a long time since I had eaten such good flames."
"But how…?" Wondered Prometheus. "Where did this guy come from? He is not human."
" Natsu. " Cried Erza.
"Hey, Erza, what are you doing?" Wanted to know his comrade. " Don't tell me that damn cloud and sun is keeping you from beating that overweight whale. "
" They are more powerful than they seem. " Erza confessed, getting to her feet. " And then, they are not really "alive"! It is therefore impossible to kill them with a saber or the like. "
" MAMAMA! " Giggles Big Mom, behind their back. " You are absolutely right! These two are elite soldiers! They are my personal guard! And just for information: if you are not able to beat them then it will be impossible for you to stand up to Katakuri and even less against me! You are too weak. "
" What did you say ? " Natsu questioned him.
" Natsu. " Erza suddenly stopped him, putting her arm in front of him. " I take care of her and her saber! You, be nice and take care of the other two. "
" What ? " Cognac wondered, smiling nastily. " Do you want to compete with Mama, all alone? It is to die for laughing! Do you want to get killed or what? "
In response, Erza changed her clothes to take on her samurai outfit and armed herself with two new swords.
" Enough talk! Let's fight. "
" For that … " Prometheus began, rushing towards her.
" ... you will have to defeat us first. " Finished Zeus, imitating him.
" FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR ! "
Hit by a torrent of whip, the two beings were pushed back.
" AH, it's hot! It's hot ! " Zeus yelled, as a small part of his body was on fire.
" Impertinent. " Roared Prometheus, staring at Natsu. " Do you think you defeat me with your flames? Don't make me laugh ! They have no effect on me. "
" Here then. " Said Natsu, somewhat amused. " In this case, let's see who will win between you and me. "
Finding that Natsu could do well on his own, Erza walked over to Big Mom, asserting.
" From now on, no one will intervene in our fight. "
In response, Big Mom grabs Napoleon with both hands before slaying him. Hopping to the side, Erza only felt a draft produced by the giant saber, before hitting the ground. The impact was of her that he created a furrow. Not wasting time looking at the latter, however, Erza ran before jumping towards Big Mom's head.
Seeing her aim her sabers at her face, Big Mom let go of the Cognac handle, before crossing her arms in front of her and covering them with Busoshoku Haki.
Striking them then, Erza was surprised to see them resist the power of her strike, as her sword shattered into pieces on Big Mom's hard skin.
" MAMAMA! " The latter chuckled, before her fist hit Erza, sending her against the arena floor.
" If you want to suffer, before being eliminated, let me do you this service! What do you think you can do anyway? Even without my strength, I can control souls so that I have many soldiers around me willing to sacrifice themselves to defend me! You, what do you have, eh? "
Simply staring at her, Erza finally asserts.
" You are not the only one who can call on soldiers. "
" What ? "
Suddenly, Erza made two new swords appear in her hands: a black sword and a white sword. Concentrating then, she poured a large amount of magic into both of her swords.
" What are you doing ? " Big Mom asked her. " No matter what your strategy, I will destroy it with the help of my brute force. "
" In that case, I'll fight you with the help of my allies. "
From the top of the bleachers, Rumsshi and Gowasu saw her throw her two sabers into the air.
" What is she doing ? " Wanted to know Rumsshi.
" No idea. " Gajeel confessed, simply shrugging his shoulders. " A new technique, perhaps. "
Suddenly smiling, Kusu asserted.
" The last two members of our team will appear. "
" The what? " Gowasu wondered, turning his camera towards the angel.
Not caring about Erza's weapons, Big Mom ran to her again.
" I don't care about you and the rest of the fighters, I know perfectly well that I would win this tournament! And with the reward, I could have the best cake ever. "
Nonetheless, she stopped in an instant, feeling her feet find their way to the ground.
" What ? " She wondered, lowering her gaze.
She then saw what looked like sticky mucus, which stuck under her shoes.
" What is that ? "
Then bands wrapped around one of her arms and Big Mom felt electricity shock her, causing her to cry out in pain.
" What is happening ? " Wanted to know Eyre.
Making various noises, Mosco finally looked up to see two figures falling from the sky, before positioning himself in front of Erza.
Kneeling on the ground, Big Mom watched the two newcomers, while roaring.
" Who are you ? "
" I'm one of Erza-san's two new warriors. " Declared the first figure, bowing politely. " My name is Heine. "
" Ta-dam! " Juliet exclaimed, making a peace sign with her fingers. " And I am Juliet. "
" Members of universe 10 ? " Big Mom wondered.
" Mama, I had never seen them before. " Cognac assured him. " They are not part of any team. "
" What? "
" What does it mean ? " Rumsshi wondered, getting up. " Since when does Erza know how to make new allies appear? "
" I have never seen him do that before. " Gowasu confessed.
" She asked me to keep silent about this technique. " Kusu told them.
" What ? "
" To be able to do everything possible to win his team, Erza-san asked me to help him in secret to perfect a magic that would allow him to control the soul of these two swords. "
" The soul? " Rumsshi wondered. " Can she do that? "
" Her mother was capable of it. " Gajeel remembered. " So she tried to imitate his magic? "
" Indeed. " Approved Kusu. " And now, she knows how to use this magic so that these two girls obey her to a certain extent. "
" Certain measure? "
" Yes ! Despite being only swords, these two girls decided to bring their strength only on a condition. "
" A condition ? "
" What is this story ? " Wanted to know Eyre. " Why does universe 10 have twelve warriors? "
Staring at Heine and Juliet, the high priest finally asserts.
" The universe 10 has done nothing unequal! Just like Seryu-san and Najenda-san, these two people are related to Erza-san's energy! These are weapons! "
" Grrr. " Growled Champa. " Hey, Vados, why don't we have weapons like this in our universe? "
" There are surely some. " Vados retorted. " Nevertheless, it is always you who say that you only trust the strength of your fists! Dr Rota is the only magician on our team because you don't like them. "
" Normally! This no one eliminated anyone. "
" I'm still there. " The pig asserted.
" Why are you not able to do that. " Champa roared.
" To summon or control living weapons, you need a high level of magic! Affirmed Rota! However, if you want my opinion, Erza is much more dangerous than the two women in Universe 9. "
" Why ? "
" Because his combat strength is more powerful than the strength of his weapons! She surely never summoned him to block the assaults of Big Mom's allies. "
" Me, I say it's cheating. " Cried Ro. " We should ban this kind of magic. "
" You are aware that Seryu uses a similar method? " Sidra questioned, while heaving a sigh.
" Not to mention that Kurome's puppets are also considered as living weapons. " Najenda continued.
" You are really showing bad faith, for a deity who is supposed to create life. " Leone remarked.
Hearing this, Mojito laughed, while Ro blushed with shame.
Crashing to the ground, Pirina stood up with difficulty. Landing next to him, Saonel had one arm missing, and many wounds all over his body.
" It's impossible ! Who is this guy? "
Advancing towards them, Vegeta walks in their direction, while still in his 'God Saiyan' form.
" Even two, you are not able to defeat me! And again, I don't even have to use my 'blue saiyan' shape. "
Gritting his teeth, Saonel concentrated on creating a new arm. Nevertheless, since the start of the fight against Vegeta, it was already the third time that he had to regenerate a member of his body.
Knowing the power of the Nameks, Vegeta attacked them without restraint without fear of killing them. So each attack did heavy damage to both Nameks who could only recoil.
" It's finish. " Vegeta said.
" NORENZO NEPA ! " Saonel cried, creating ten balls of energy at the end of each of his fingers.
" MIKA NENPO ! " Pirina roared, opening her mouth wide, before creating an energetic beam.
Seeing the two attacks rush at him, Vegeta created a red aura around him, before placing his hands in a symbolic pose.
" GARLIC CANNON ! "
A huge energy wave came out of Vegeta's hands and rushed towards the two Namaks. In an instant, the eyes of the two green aliens showed fear as they saw their attacks disintegrate, as Vegeta's breaking wave rushed over them.
" Ah! Ah! AHHHHHHHH! "
Suddenly, Saonel stood in front of Pirina and created a shield to protect them. However, the attack was too powerful and within moments the Namek's defense shattered and Saonel was hit by the explosion before his body collided with Pirina's.
Finally, the two nameks were thrown back out of the void.
" AHHHHH! " Champa frightened.
Ceasing his attack, Vegeta then left, before noticing that he still felt the strength of his two opponents.
" Hum? "
Gripping the edge of the arena, Pinira thus clung to the edge of the void, while her second arm was wrapped around Saonel's waist. Throwing his teammate onto the field, he then climbed back up.
Hurt, Pirina felt drops of purple blood coming out of her mouth and her wounds. However, this was nothing compared to Saonel's condition. The entire front of his companion's body had been burned and torn apart by Vegeta's attack. Even with his regenerative cells, Saonel would be unable to stand up.
" Saonel! SAONEL! Are you OK ? "
At that moment, his companion's hand gripped his clothes, as he spat blood.
" Pi… Pirina! "
Breathing painfully, he looked at his comrade, while asserting.
" I can't fight anymore. "
" Don't worry ! I would be able to protect you. "
" Don't say nonsense. " Retorted his comrade. " You know what I'm talking about. "
Staring at Pirina, he cried.
" It is time for me to sacrifice myself so that we can use our last card. "
" What? Sacrifice yourself? But you … ? "
" We must preserve the future of our people! If we want the nameks to have a future, we have to win this tournament. "
Coughing up blood again, he reached out his hand to his friend, screaming.
" Pirina ... I'm counting on you. "
Staring at him silently, Pirina felt a tear run down his cheek, as he asserted.
" The Namek people will never forget your sacrifice. "
Then he put his hand against Saonel's.
Running across the field, looking for an opponent, Zebra stopped as a strong gust of wind forced him to back up.
" Hey? " He wondered, feeling a strong source of energy not far from him.
Running in that direction, he finally stopped when he saw a Namek with his back to him. Dark green in color, he had a large build (he was at least two meters high). Muscular and dressed in brown outfits, the being in front of Zebra looked a bit like Pirina and Saonel. Yet this Namek was taller than Saonel and leaner than Pirina. It seemed to be a fusion of the two.
" Hey! Who are you ? "
Turning to Zebra, the namek told him.
" Saena ! "
