Chapter 70: Tatsuya Hitoshi Versus Bergamo, The Crusher!!


Me and Bergamo stared at each other as I thought with a smirk on my face; "I wonder what sort of powers Bergamo possesses…"

Bergamo began popping his neck as I said; "Just to make sure, you're Bergamo, right? This match may not decide if our universes get destroyed, but I still say we go all-out!".

"I won't take orders from some lowlife!" Bergamo said he turned to the other deities and shouted out; "All you floatin' around up there, listen up good! I am the eldest brother of the unstoppable Trio of Danger! I'm Bergamo the crusher!".

"The Grand Priest has just told me our Ninth Universe is home to the lowest-ranked mortals in the entire cosmos!" Bergamo said before he pointed at me. "That's wrong! How can it be true when this boy's level is far below any of my brothers? He doesn't deserve to fight me!".

"Wait, ya mean me?" I questioned in confusion.

"We wouldn't be facing universal destruction if it weren't for his fighting-obsessed Family in the first place!" Bergamo said. "So not only is this one unimpressively weak, he's also another selfish moron!".

"All right, Bucko! You're taking this way too far!" I said.

He turned around, he pointed at me, and said; "You've said enough for one day, fool! You and your family's ignorance makes you a threat to the entire cosmos!".

He turned to Grand Zeno, he went down on one knee, and said; "Great Omni-King, after I beat this joke, I beg you to rescind your order to destroy the losing universes in the tournament."

Dad jumped down onto the stage which confused all of us, then he instantly appeared in front of Bergamo, Dad grabbed him by the throat, and began choking him as he lifted him up off his feet.

"Dad! What are you doing?!" I asked him in surprise and confusion.

"Listen up, Bergamo. We may be the biggest threat in the entire cosmos, but we are also the saviors of the entire cosmos." Dad began to say. "I'll let this slide just this once. Disgrace my mortal family again, and I'll erase you from existence as I am the one responsible for giving all life throughout the entire cosmos. Do you understand me?"

Bergamo shook his head in fear as Dad then let go of him and reappeared next to Whis and Beerus.

"Listen up, all of you self-debrided gods of Destructions! If you even dare to sabotage this event or sabotage us from not showing up for the Tournament of Power, I'll erase all of you!!" Dad shouted out as he then transformed into his Almighty God Form out of rage. "I am the one you should be the most afraid of! Because I am the Father of All Life! I am the Almighty God of Creation."

Everyone in the room became silent and afraid of my Dad, including me… Dad then floated towards Zeno and the Grand Priest as they then began to talk about the request.

They all turned to Bergamo as the Grand Priest said; "The Omni-King and the Almighty God has accepted your request, Bergamo. If you win this match, no universes will be destroyed for losing in the Tournament."

"I see… Making me the villain, huh? ", I thought. "But thanks to Dad, we're now the most feared which means everyone in their tournament will try to go after us first. Well, no matter. I'll still wing this fight."

We both took a stance before the Grand Priest announced; "The third match of the Zeno Expo. Begin!".

We dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows. We exchanged blows until I caught one of Bergamo's jabs of punches.

"You're pretty good." Bergamo said.

"So are you." I replied.

"It's too bad I have to destroy you, even after your Dads threat." He said before he dropped his guard completely and threw his hands up. "Hit me. As soon as you do, you'll understand why in the Ninth I'm called; "Bergamo, the Crusher"."

I landed a barrage of punches on Bergamo, and Bergamo became bigger in size. Bergamo threw a punch at me, I blocked it, and we exchanged blows until I landed another barrage of punches on him.

Bergamo became bigger and stronger before he said; "Don't stop. I know you wanna hit me more!".

I transformed into my Super Saiyan Form, I dashed towards Bergamo, and landed more blows on him, making him bigger and stronger. I attacked Bergamo in every direction, making him bigger and stronger. The more I hit Bergamo, the bigger he got and the more to my advantage. I quickly hid behind one of his blind spots and knocked Bergamo down from underneath him.

"The bigger you get, the more blind spots you have for me to exploit!" I said.

Once Bergamo got back up, I immediately went back to attacking him. Bergamo kept getting bigger and bigger the more I continued to attack him.

"Is this as big as you get?" I asked him.

Bergamo threw a punch at me, I dodged it as I jumped up into the air, and transformed into my Super Saiyan Blue Form.

"Could this really be possible?" Kaio-Kai said in surprise.

"His Power is equal to that of a god!" Kaio-Roh said in surprise.

"What an impressive warrior!" God of Destruction Sidra said in surprise. "Did we take them too lightly?".

"I'm not done yet! I can take this power level and multiply it!" I said as I unleashed my Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-Ken technique. "Kaio-Ken!".

Bergamo unleashed his Full Power, we both fired off energy waves at each other, and I easily overpowered and defeated Bergamo with my Super Kamehameha Wave.

Bergamo reverts back to normal and faints after he says; "How could Universe 7 achieve this? What… Are you?".

"That settles that. The Zeno Expo is hereby concluded!" The Grand Priest said. "Universe 7 is the winner!".

I reverted back to my base form as Basil and Lavender came down to help Bergamo up.

"I wanted to see your true power out there but in a way, I was just fighting myself." I said to Bergamo. "You just absorbed my power and fought me with only that. If we square off in the Tournament, you got to show me what you can do, okay?".

Once Bergamo was with his team and I was with mine, the Grand Priest announced; "Assembled Deities from the Great Cosmos, the three matches between the Seventh and the Ninth have brought much pleasure to the Omni-King. The Zeno Expo is a magnificent success!".

"Since that means we'll be moving on to the Tournament of Power, allow me to explain the rules." The Grand Priest said. "The Null Realm will be home for the specially built ring for the Tournament of Power. If you knock an opponent out of the ring, they lose. Rather simple, is it not?".

"What if your opponent is knocked out in the ring?" Kin asked.

"Then push them out to complete the elimination. Furthermore, now that the Zeno Expo has given us more time to consider, we decided to add a few other rules," the Grand Priest said. "1. Use of any outside weapon is Forbidden, 2. You are not allowed to kill any opponents, 3. Any advanced technique that enables flight will not work in the Null Realm. Finally, there will be a Time Limit of 100 Taks."

"That's 48 Minutes in our time." Dad said. "That seems rather a long time for each match. So many strong fighters, isn't there a risk for the Tournament to go on far too long?".

"The Tournament will not be one-on-one, Master. Each Fighter will fight against each other at the same time." The Grand Priest said. "In other words, the Tournament is just one match. Everyone will have enough space since the ring will be very large. Everyone will fight until the clock hits Zero. The Universe with the most fighters left will be declared the winner."

"Of course, if one team member defeats all others before time out, that Universe will be victorious." The Grand Priest said. "The Omni-King looks forward to watching the Tournament of Power."

A fighter from Universe 11 jumps down onto the ring as he calls me down to challenge him.

"Fighter, state your name." The Grand Priest demanded.

"Grand Priest, forgive me for barging forward like this." The fighter said before unmasking himself. "I am the Leader of the Pride Troopers of Universe 11. I am Top!".

I jumped down onto the ring with a smile as Top said; "Greetings, Tatsuya. I am Top, and I want you to fight me in single combat! And I warn you, if you fight without honor, then my righteous fists will be your ruin!".

"All right then. I accept your challenge!" I said. "You're on! You don't look any more of a challenge than the last one!".

And just like that, I face a new challenge. A Warrior from Universe 11, named Top. I hope Top will be more of a challenge than Bergamo was…

I smirked as I thought; "Don't let me down, Top! I want to see just how strong you are! Bring it on! I'm ready for anything! Believe it! "

End of Chapter 70.
