Chapter 69: The Second Match! "Poison Blow" Lavender Versus Kin Yamazaki!!
"Let the second match… Begin now!" The Grand Priest announced.
Kin immediately dashed towards Lavender, they clashed fists, and began to exchange blows. They exchanged blows until Lavender jumped onto Kin's right arm and Kin quickly pushed Lavender back with a punch. Lavender chuckled psychotically before he spat out poison onto his fists.
Lavender dashed towards Kin and right as Lavender threw a poison jab at Kin, Kin immediately turned his body into steel. Lavender hurt his fists, Kin landed 8 punches on Lavender, Kin landed an upper-cut, and then pushed Lavender with a kick.
"J-Just what are you?!" Lavender said in fear.
"I'm someone who was born half a saiyan with the power to turn myself into steel!" Kin said in confidence.
Kin dashed towards Lavender, he landed a few blows on him, Kin gutted Lavender with an upper-punch, and pushed Lavender back with a kick. Kin and Lavender dashed towards each other, they clashed fists, and then they went back to exchanging blows. They exchanged blows until Kin landed an Axe Kick and pushed Lavender back with another kick.
"I'll Kill you…!!" Lavender said furiously.
Kin dashed towards Lavender, he guts Lavender with an upper-punch, Kin lands an upper-cut, and then sends Lavender flying with a Round-House kick.
"That's it! That's how you do it, Kin!" I cheered.
Lavender jumped into the air and began rapidly firing Poison energy blasts at Kin. Kin took them all head-on and was unfazed before Kin fired off a Full Power Energy Wave at Lavender. Lavender got back up, he powered up, and began to spread out his poison within the ring by releasing a mist of poison. Kin took a deep breath and blew the mist of poison off the ring.
Kin dashed towards Lavender, he landed a solid head-butt, he landed a few blows, he landed an upper-punch, and then sent Lavender flying with a kick. Lavender got back up, he powered up, and fired off a Powerful Full Poison Energy Blast at Kin. Kin easily overpowered it with a Super Kamehameha Wave. Lavender took the Super Kamehameha Wave head-on, Lavender Jumped up into the air, and created another mist of Poison.
Kin dashed towards Lavender through the mist of Poison and they exchanged blows until Kin caught Lavender in a Full Nelson. Kin flew up and then flew down straight onto the ring, crash-landing and knocking Lavender out. Kin stood up straight and did the 'All Mights' Victory Pose, claiming his victory.
"The Second match is officially over." The Grand Priest said. "The Winner is Kin Yamazaki, from Universe 7!".
"Aw yeah!" Kin said in excitement.
Lavender was taken back up to the stands as Kin flew back up to us.
Right as Kin ate a Senzu Bean to restore his strength, the Grand Priest said; "Before we continue the Zeno Expo, To all gods gathered here. I have a message for you from the Omni-King."
"Grand Zeno was very touched that beings of the lowest Mortal level rank could put on such a wonderful fight." The Grand Priest said.
"Wait… Mortal?" Kaio-Shin questioned.
"Grand Zeno has evaluated all the 12 Universes and ranked them accordingly." The Grand Priest replied.
"So. Um, how did the Seventh Universe fare in this estimation?" Beerus asked.
"The average level of the Mortal-inhabited Stars of Universe 7 is 3.18." The Grand Priest said. "That's second from the bottom, in fact."
"If we're second from the bottom, which Universe is below us?" Whis asked.
"Surely you can tell." The Grand Priest said.
"Y-You mean…" Kaio-Roh began to say.
"That's correct. The ninth Universe's average level is the lowest. It's 1.86." The Grand Priest said. "For this upcoming Tournament of Power, the Omni-King has long said that there are far too many universes in the cosmos. So the Omni-King's idea was the perfect opportunity."
"Those universes defeated in the Tournament of Power are to be eliminated by Grand Zeno himself." The Grand Priest said.
"Does losing the Zeno Expo Match mean getting erased as well?" Kaio-Roh asked.
"No. That won't be happening." The Grand Priest said.
Kaio-Shin bowed down and said; "Grand Priest, Sir, there's something I wish to confirm."
"Go ahead." The Grand Priest granted.
"When you said the defeated universes will be eliminated, do you mean every universe that loses the Tournament of power?" Kaio-Shin asked.
"That's correct." The Grand Priest said. "Although, I should point out that the first and twelfth universes, as the fifth and eighth are exempt from entering."
"Interesting. That means their universes are over 7, so they won't be erased." Whis said. "The low level universes were already going to be erased, but if they win, they can remain."
"Yes, that's pretty much the gist of it." The Grand Priest said.
"What'll happen to us gods if our universe loses?" Kaio-Shin asked.
"Why, you'll be done away at the same time, of course." The Grand Priest said. "Except for the angels, naturally."
"Whis?! You…!" Beerus said in shock.
"My position is different from yours, Lord Beerus." Whis said.
"That concludes our information session. Moving on, the Expo's Third Match, will sadly be its final one." The Grand Priest said as he fixed the ring with a snap of his fingers.
"Finally! It's my turn!" I said impatiently and excitedly.
"Good Luck, Tatsuya. You're going to need it." Kin said. "We don't know what the next fighter from Universe 9 is capable of. So watch out for him…".
"Thanks, Kin, but I think I can handle this guy." I said calmly. "And besides, I am the Chosen One and the Son of the strongest being in existence!".
"If you lose this match, I'll erase you, Tatsuya! You better not lose!" Beerus said anxiously.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" I said. "I know you're trying to motivate me, but erase me, and You'll have to deal with my Dad."
"But anyways, I got this, so don't worry, Lord Beerus!" I said.
I jumped down onto the stage as did Bergamo, the older brother of Lavender and Basil.
"Alright! It's finally my turn! I hope he can give me a challenge! ", I thought.
End of Chapter 69.
