Opening his eyes, Goku saw the strange place he was in. He could see nothing but emptiness around him, as he stood on an arena that hovered in the center of this menacing and dark void, where the slightest trace of life had no chance of existing.

"It's… It's pretty scary." Krillin remarked.

" The world of emptiness. " Understood Gohan.

" And the arena where we will fight. " Piccolo remarked, examining him.

However, to the namek's astonishment, the ground was flat but also strewn with large boulders and piles of stones, offering a multitude of hiding places. Examining the place as well, Cell crouched down to pick up a small stone. Staring at her, he asserted.

" I have never seen such a hard material. "

Then, squeezing it, he had to exert tremendous pressure to destroy it.

" The land will be able to survive our battles. "

Swallowing when he saw the world from the void, Satan got scared.

" If we ever lose, will our universe become like this place ? "

Thinking back, Whis grinned broadly.

" Yes ! Nearly ! "

" It is scary. " Bulma asserted, her hand still resting on Vegeta's back.

" Bulma ? " Vegeta exclaimed turning to her. " Why are you here ? "

" I wanted to see you. " His wife asserted him. " I wanted to see you fight to save us. "

" What … ? "

Then placing a hand on her stomach, the young woman thought.

"If these are our last moments of our lives, Vegeta, I ask you a favor ! I want to admire your courage and see you fight like a hero to protect your family. ''

" Mother, you shouldn't have. " Said Mirai Trunks. " Who knows what might happen ? "

" No worries. " Shin affirmed. " As long as we win, nothing can happen to us. "

" Yes ! Spectators will never be in danger. " Affirmed the old kaioshin." Only the fighters risk being killed during this fight. "

" It's reassuring. " Yamcha said, feeling a drop of sweat form on the back of his head.

For his part, a little isolated, Bardock felt the ki of other people.

Appearing one after the other, the teams found themselves on the arena in the middle of the void.

" Is that the land ? " Wanted to know Sunny, looking all around. " It's monotonous. "

" There are rocks everywhere ! This will allow both to hide but also to practice ambushes. "

Staring at the new fighters, Broly noticed a lot of strange creatures both male and female. Looking at them like a child. Beside him, Buu clapped his hands as he seemed appreciated to see the arrival of his future opponents.

For his part, starting to growl, Beerus wanted to know.

" Whis! Do you think we can defeat these people? "

" Hum…. perhaps ! Impossible to say it right away! However … "

Seeming to be able to read the minds of other fighters, he said.

" If this can reassure you, our universe is not the only one that has recruited people who hate each other. "

" Hum ? "

" What a beautiful sky. " Boros asserted, while his face lifted. " It vaguely reminds me of the sky of my home planet. "

Then, cracking the muscles in his neck, he declared.

" It's nice to feel alive. "

For their part, the other villains of Universe 4 began to growl. Since their resurrection, each of them had been obliged to train individually, while Kitela had wanted to avoid any risk of murder. So, it was the first time they saw their old enemies. Grumbling too, the heroes of Universe 4 weren't any happier to see them.

Honestly, Boros didn't care. Other than Metalzang, he had never met any of these people. All he cared about was being able to fight against powerful adversaries. Then, turning his gaze, he saw Saitama talking to Genos.

"Saitama! I'll show you how powerful I have become! Powerful enough to force you to be serious the next time we fight. "

For his part, Saitama watched the other contestants appear. So he saw two giants, among Universe 3. Looking at Big Mom, he cried out.

" You know Genos, it's seeing this kind of women that I'm happy that we no longer force people to practice forced marriages. "

" If a man our size sleeps with her, my sensors indicate that he would have a 78% chance of being crushed. "

Appearing in turn, the team's competitors from Universe 9 were next to appear. Immediately, anyone could have seen tremendous tension between the members of this team. On one side were the former members of Night Raid and part of the former Jaegers group. On the other side were the former members of Wild Hunt, led by Syura. The only ones who did not start from these two groups were Esdeath, Budo and Seryu, who found themselves a little apart.

Seeing a tension between them despite her efforts to reconcile them, Sidra wanted to know.

" Can I count on you to help us win ? "

Smiling gloomily, Syura approached him while asserting.

" Do not worry ! You can count on Wild Hunt to help us win! As long as you think of our… reward. "

Behind Sidra, Mojito turned his back to the group to prevent them from seeing his face in rage. Regarding Night Raid and part of the Jaegers, Mojito had no grudges against them and didn't really feel anger at their past actions, despite having a rather different justice than his own.

However, it was not the same for Wild Hunt. Knowing full well their crimes, Mojito had an overwhelming urge to suppress them. His universe was already quite in chaos.

For his part, Ro, who usually was the first to encourage his team to do their best, couldn't help but stare suspiciously at Syura. Behaving quite similarly, he knew how much of a problem Syura could become if he managed to get hold of the Dragons Balls.

" Is that the land ? " Wanted to know Mine, while approaching the void. " Is it me or if we fall, we die ? "

Hearing a noise behind her, Esdeath turned in time to see Universe 6 appear. Then she smiled, catching sight of Hit. The purple alien, with eyes closed and arms crossed, gave off an aura even though he was still. This aura Esdeath adored. She knew in advance that she was looking at a murderer. Someone who knew how to fight.

" Hey, there is Goku. " Wave suddenly cried.

Indeed, seeing the saiyan among the participants of his universe, several people stared at him, while all knew that he was the being who gave the idea of this tournament to Zeno.

Seeing him, Budo examined the rest of his team. He noticed that there were a lot of humans, but also a few aliens. They were all different, however, they all had one thing in common.

" None of them has a weapon! Which means that each of these people have to fight the same way as Goku! They wield their ki and use it to launch ranged attacks. "

" If they're as strong as Goku, we're going to be in trouble. " Tatsumi asserted.

Sneering at him, Enshin questioned him.

" Do you have a problem, baby? Are you going to wet your pants? "

" Content to win. " Rô roared, before he and Sidra made their way to the stands.

Barely watching the other gods leave the field, Natsu stared at the other fighters, while asserting, his eyes lit up.

" There are aliens! I will see them. "

" Natsu! Hold on ! "

Too late. Natsu had already left for Universe 6 and began to revolve around a warrior.

" Waouh, are you a real robot ? "

" Chopopo ? " Magetta wondered, surprised to see Natsu.

" Are you spitting flames ? "

" No, you have to launch laser beams. " Luffy exclaimed, suddenly standing next to Ntasu.

" Chopopo ? " Magetta wondered again, seeing another person in front of him.

" Hey ! "

Appearing in front of Natsu and Luffy, Pirina and Saonel cried out.

" We want to prepare ourselves by meditating in silence, if this is possible. "

" So, be nice to go bother other people. "

However, they immediately heard the two men cry out.

" Are you green-skinned aliens? Wow, you have a great look. "

" What ? "

" Tsss ! " Caulifla said, looking away from them.

Then suddenly she cried out.

" Hey, Kabba! Look at this ! This team is almost composed only kids in costumes. "

Having made its appearance, Universe 12 only featured teenagers, in their superhero costumes. Just like universe 4 and 9, two groups had formed: the hero group and the villain group.

" Waouh, the terrain is too awesome. " Kirishima shouted. " The land floats in the void. "

" How is this possible? " Wanted to know Ida. " It's scientifically impossible. "

" We do not care." Bakugo roared, hitting his fists. " What matters are the opponents we face. "

" In any case, the atmosphere is perfect for me. " Tokoyami asserted." I will be able to use Dark Shadow without any problem. "

" We are going to massacre them all. " Assured his sidekick.

While the young heroes seemed to be both frightened and excited about the tournament, Endeavor remained calm, just staring at the rest of the team, who were curious about their opponents.

"I'm sure there are a lot of false heroes among the other contestants," Stain asserted, already leaving the edge of his sword behind. "So many potential spectators," remarked Mr. Compress. "I'll do everything I can to ensure that my magic doesn't disappoint them." And among the villains was Gigantomachia, whose size had been altered so that it was no more than two meters tall. Standing perfectly still, the former giant simply waited for Tomura to give him an order.

For his part, seeing someone waving all over the place, Bakugo cried out.

" Stop moving, Deku ! It annoys me. "

" The tournament will begin! The tournament is about to begin. "

Rubbing his hair, he cried out.

" That's too much pressure. "

" I don't see how. " Shoto retorted. " All we have to do is win. "

Turning his gaze to his left, he cried out.

" For strategy, we have Momo, Shinso and Kendo. "

Turning his gaze to the right, he continued.

" For defense, we have Kirishima. "

Looking behind him, he added.

" For speed, there is Ida! And finally, for the others, it is the attack or a special ability that may surprise the opponent! We have a complete team and that's why Giin-san decided to choose us! Let's think about our victory, and let's just win. "

Immediately he felt Mirio's hand gently slap his back, as he asserted.

" Good to know that you are so calm and focused. "

Nevertheless, he noticed that Midoriya had suddenly disappeared.

" Huh ? "

" Too class. " Cried Midoriya.

" Hum ? " Toppo said, as he turned to see the boy staring at his team. " Who are you ? "

" I… Midoriya from universe 12! I am training to become a hero like you. "

" Hum? How do you know that we are heroes ? "

" It shows in your uniforms, your stature and your demeanor. " The boy assured.

" Haha! " Giggles Dyspo. " You are absolutely right, my little guy! We are the elite of our universe! We are the Prides Troopers! We bring justice to our universe. "

" So cool. "

Suddenly, behind the Prides Troopers, Midoriya saw other people, dressed differently, but also dressed as superheroes.

" Hum ? " He wondered, looking at Hulk and Thor.

"Are they humans ? "

" Superheroes ? " Seryu wondered, looking in the direction of universe 11. " Did you hear Koro? They are heroes! How about we meet them ? "

" I do not advise you. " Mine retorted.

" What ? "

" Heroes always kill evil, Murder-girl. " Mine asserted.

In the space of five years of training, the relationship between the two girls had changed as much as that of Esdeth and Najenda. That is, there was no change.

As a result, Seryu glared at Mine, who imitated her. Finally, the two girls moved away from each other.

Seeing all the warriors appearing around him, Goku felt the excitement take hold of his body. Closing his eyes, he began to examine each of their ki. Immediately he felt a colossal power coming from Universe 4. He felt the power of Hit and Toppo. And finally, he opened his eyes when he felt Jiren's infinite power.

"There are four overpowered warriors! So cool ! I have never felt so many powerful warriors. ''

Suddenly he froze, before feeling another power that made him wince. Turning immediately, he looked in the direction of Universe 1, the last universe that had just appeared.

Examining the fighters in this universe, he noticed that many of them had extremely bad ki. And, the worst part was that the most powerful people in this universe were those who possessed this evil aura.

Finally, noticing Ainz, Goku almost shuddered as he felt his strength.

" No ! In the end, there are five people that I must absolutely beware of. "

Hopping in place, Aura looked at all the fighters on the field, before yelling.

" Unbelievable ! There are a lot of humanoid races that I have never seen. "

For her part, noticing that more than three-quarters of the participants appeared to be humans, Albedo began to growl.

" If humans are the strongest people in these universes, it would be a humiliation for Ainz-sama to have to fight them. "

For his part, seeing his future opponents and appearing to be adept at feeling their powers, Ainz asserted.

" Albedo! You all ! I forbid you to underestimate their power. "

" Hum ? " Albedo wondered.

" These humans… they are different. "

" Ainz-sama is right. " Demiurge nodded, putting his glasses back on his nose correctly. " I really doubt these humans are as weak as those in our world! If this was really the case, then it would mean that Ainz-sama would be the most powerful being of the ten universes put together, by far! Honestly, and while I would be glad to hear this news, I doubt any of these universes doesn't at least have one person who is likely to force them to fight by being serious. "

" We are his weapons. " Cried Shalltear. " There is no way we will let these guys fight Ainz-sama! They don't deserve this honor. "

" Totally agree. " Approved Sebas, bowing to Ainz." Ainz-sama, let us show the power of Nazarick by making our universe win. "

" Ainz-saaaaaaaaama ! " Cried Actor Pandora, making exaggerated gestures. " I am honored to be able to fight alongside you during such an important tournament! I swear to do you honor. "

Just nodding, Ainz asserted.

" We will all give the maximum of us! We… as our allies. "

Immediately he looked at the other part of their mostly human groups. Coming from other planets the other half of the team seemed a lot less threatening than the demons.

For example, Kazuma and Subaru had an above average strength penalty. However, after training very hard for ten years, never of them had managed to obtain a special power that could be of great use to the team.

For her part, leaning against a wall, Tanya looked up to see the gods gathering in the stands. Despite having had a visit from the divinities of her universe, the young girl had in no way calmed her hatred against them. She wanted them dead… all.

" Dear fighters ! " Cried the High Priest suddenly, clapping his hands." I am happy to welcome you here so that the greatest tournament of all time can take place. "

All the fighter looked at him then. For his part, Whis hit the arena floor with his staff. Immediately, the angel, Beerus, Shin, old Kaioshin, Bulma, Satan and Paragus found themselves teleported to the stands.

Already installed, Champa already began to rally his brother.

" Hey, brother! Aren't you ashamed to bring civilians back here? It's a tournament for gods. "

" Shut up ! " Beerus growled, sitting up. " We'll talk about it again when I win this tournament. "

" I am happy to see you all gathered here. " Continued the high priest. " It is a real feat that the ten universes participating in this tournament have managed to bring together twenty warriors! I applaud your efforts and without further ado, I introduce the organizers of this tournament! Here it is, Zenô-sama. "

Immediately, the supreme god appeared on a seat much too big for him. But what surprised the candidates was that there were two zeno-sama.

" Why are there two zenos ? "

" We wish you good luck. " Cried the first Zeno.

" Yes ! Good luck ! "

" These are the zenos ? " Cell wondered. " Strangely, I saw them more frightening. "

" My soldiers were already making fun of my brother's short stature. " Cooler remembered. " But they are really pitiful. "

" Did you say something ? " Roared Frieza.

" Huh ? Me ? "

" Calm down ! " King Cold ordered them.

" Everybody. " Cried the high priest. " It's time for us to introduce the teams before starting the tournament! Universe 1 ! "

"Hey, Kazuma! Kazuma!" Aqua called out.

"Yes, I am Kazuma."

"Why are we teaming up with these demons?" The deity wanted to know, pointing to Ainz and his subordinates.

"So as not to die."

"We don't need them! The goddess that I am can save us a lot!"

Just staring at her Kzuma suddenly cried out.

" It's weird that you say that! Normally, the deities are prohibited from participating in this tournament! But the gods of our universe had no idea who you were at all! They even thought you were lying pretending to be a goddess! in the end you are so insignificant in their eyes that your participation in the tournament was accepted. "

"That's mean!" Aqua sobbed.

"Universe 2 ! "

" I had plenty of food. " Toriko assured.

" Me first ! Me first ! Me first ! " Zebra exclaimed, a little too excited.

" Tss ! " Said Joa, meanwhile.

" Universe 3 ! "

Despite having to form a team, the twenty competitors were quite separated from each other. Big Mom was with Katakuri, Akainu with Kizaru, Law with Luffy and Jimbe and the others were just isolated. Even Yamato was far from his father, while Kuzan preferred not to approach Akainu. All of this showed that Universe 3 was going to have one of the worst results in teamwork.

" Universe 4 ! "

" Hey, the bald guy." Sea King growled, while putting his hand on Saitama's shoulder. " Know that I'll be the one to win this tournament! And as soon as that is done, I will kill you. "

" Huh ? " Saitama asked. " Who are you ? "

" Grrr! I'm going to kill you. " The creature roared, pretending to hit him.

However, easily grabbing his fist Boros stopped him while ordering him.

" Do not do anything that risks disqualifying us, idiot. "

Then, staring at Saitama, he cried out.

" Saitama! If I trained so much, it's not to win this tournament! It's to defeat you. "

" Ah ? " Saitama wondered, with his jaded gaze.

Hearing the trio, Tatsumaki wanted to know.

" Why do I have to team up with these morons ? "

" Calm ! " Bang advised him, his hands behind his back. " We need Saitama to win this tournament! As for the other two, we can still face them after this tournament, if they decide to take revenge. "

" And for the others ? " Wanted to know Bomb, looking at Orochi and his subordinates. " Was it really such a good idea to have made them stronger ? "

" We are also much stronger than before. " Assured Atomic Samourai." We killed them once! We can kill them again. "

" Universe 6!

" We will win everything." Cried Caulifla.

" Y… Yes. " Stuttered Kale.

" The power of love. " Cried Ribrianne.

" Universe 7 ! "

" Let's go. " Goku announced.

" Universe 9 ! "

" Finally ! " Rejoices Esdeath. " I will show who is the strongest warrior in the universes. "

" Tsss ! " Syura said simply, convinced that she had now surpassed her power.

" Win the dragon balls, and resuscitate our friends. " Cried Najenda.

" Universe 10 ! "

" Natsu, Gajeel, Cobra and Jellal. " Called them Erza. " During the tournament, you will be a recognition team! You will fight against the other warriors and you will discover each of their power! Then you will come back to us to be treated by Wendy! We take care of protecting it. "

" Okay ! "

" Universe 11 ! "

" Pride Troopers ! " Toppo shouted.

And immediately, all of the team members pose as explosions occur behind them.

Looking at them, before heaving a sigh, Batman asserted.

" Let's try to be strategic! Let's not attack right away. "

Nonetheless, hitting the ground, the Hulk showed how eager he was to fight.

" And universe 12. "

" Let's do ... our best. " Cried Midoriya.

" We are going to squash them. " Bakugo roared.

" As you can see, 200 warriors are gathered here to fight during this tournament. "

" Hey ! " Suddenly exclaimed Champa. " I protest ! Why does universe 9 have 21 members and a dog? "

" Hum? Let's see, Champa-san, if you focus you will notice that both Susanoo and Koro are weapons whose energy is related to the souls of Najenda-san and Seryu-san! So there are only twenty warriors. "

" Weapons ? " Gohan wondered. " They look like real humans. "

" The other universes each have their secrets. " Piccolo asserted.

" And now … ! " Continued the high priest. " Here are the rules of the Tournament of Power! The time limit is 100 taks! The central fold will go down as time goes on! When it gets down to ground level, the tournament will be over. "

" Cent taks ? " Several people were surprised.

" This equals 48 minutes. "

" Questions ? "

Everyone fell silent.

" Very good in this case, everyone get ready. " Cried the high priest, raising his arm.

Everyone stood still.
