Chapter 380 - The Tournament of Power 6/27

Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Null Realm - Age 780

In the ensuing chaos that followed Kale's outburst, many of the ongoing battles temporarily stopped as the warriors scattered all over the fighting stage to avoid the rain of Ki Blasts unleashed by Kale.

Kale walks around the fighting stage in search of Goku while continously calling out his name again, but she is confronted by Vewon, a warrior from the 11th Universe who looks like tailless dinosaur-like humanoid with orange skin wearing the iconic Pride Troopers' outfit, who restrains her by creating an energy lasso and wraps it around her making her unable to move while saying, "You beast. The Pride Troopers will not tolerate any more violence! My Justice Whip renders evil criminals powerless."

Much to Vewon's shock, Kale easily breaks out of his Justice Whip and knocks him off the stage with a single wrathful punch, making the Zenos happily mark yet another elimination while Kale herself lets out another roar.

The other Pride Troopers watch Kale as she lets out a loud roar so powerful that it further damages the fighting stage while Top comments, "Even her voice alone is this powerful!"

I notice that Jiren, who is calmly standing among his teammates with his eyes closed and arms crossed is about to make a move to stop Kale's rampage, but just as his body twitchs to srping into action, he stops and opens his eyes focusig his gaze on Kale with clear intrigue in his eyes.

Right at this moment, Broly, who until this moment limited himself to wandering around the fighting stage without starting any battles and just casually repelling those foolish enough to attack, arrives in front of Kale and mutters, "I understand... That blinding, consuming rage that you are feeling at this moment... You have to stop..."

The berserk Kale immediately focuses on Broly and, without wasting any time, she charges at him while roaring before she throws a wild punch that packs enough power to easily break the fighting stage that is made of the hardest material of the Dragon Ball Multiverse.

Watching the quickly approaching fist of Kale, Broly also starts to roar as his Ki spikes and he enters his Wrathful state as his aura turns into a vibrant and sparking green color while his eyes' irises become yellow and his hair become much wilder before he also throws a punch in respose to Kale's.

The next moment the two fist clash with very devastating effects as the floor under their feet caves in under the pressure generated by the impact and the resulting shockwave is so powerful that the nearby rubbles in their surroundings instantly crumble into dust while both Broly and Kale take a single step back.

At the same time, Hit points out that if Kale goes too far and kills someone, she'll be disqualified, and Caulifla tries to calm Kale down, however, the rampaging Kale is way too focused on her curret target and completely ignores her as she tries to attack Broly again this time with a kick.

Broly grabs Kale's extended leg and starts spinning her before throwing her up in the air, and after doing that, Broly seamlessly raises his hands up to the air and charges his energy to form a large green energy sphere.

He then throws the ball at the still rising Kale, and upon impact, it inflicts a massive amount of damage while creating a massive explosion, followed by a large flurry of wind.

Shortly after that, an uncoscious Kale in her base form starts to fall but before she can crash on the ground, Caulifla catches her while calling her out, "Kale!"

At the same time, Goku in his base form appears and says in a genuely impressed, "Yo! That was incredible, Broly! It seems that the training with Goza had its inteded result. You can control yourself much better now." which makes Broly silently nod as he relaxes his stance and gets out of his Wrathful state.

Meanwhile, following Goku's appearance, Hit and Caulifla fall back to allow Kale to recover from both her rampage and the damage she received from her battle against Broly.

Suddenly a battle on the other side of the fighting stage catches my attention and the reason for that is that one of the warriors involved is a member of my team, more specifically I'm talking about Isaak, the Dorado Silver Saint.

His opponent is a warrior from the 3rd, Maji-Kayo who is a shining blue jelly-like humanoid with purple eyes who can effortlessly change his shape.

He has a formless, jelly-like state, a short and slim form like an infant, but he changes into a large, muscular form while fighting.

He can also change his body parts individually as he sees fit to aid him during battle.

Currently Maji-Kayo is manipulating the shape of one of his arm to turn it into whip-like tentacles that he uses to restrain Isaak's movements, however, Isaak isn't even trying to struggle against Maki-Kayo's attemp to restrain him.

Seeing that, Maji-Kayo evilly chuckles as he turns the hand of his other arm into a pair of scissors and says, "Hiehehe. You give up already? Maybe I should cut off those arms and legs... After all, it doesn't look like you will need them from now on!"

In response, Isaak let out a sigh and calmly commented, "Haa... Since you want to sadistically cut off my arms despite the fact that you have apparentily have the upper hand, I won't feel too bad in eliminating you from this tournament."

Then while Maji-Kayo tilts his head in confusion, Isaak immediately starts to burn his Cosmo and drastically lowers the temperature around him to the point that Maji-Kayo's "tentacles" immediately freeze before he shatter them by simply moving his arm breaking himself free from his opponent's restrain.

After freeing himself, Isaak calmly looks at his opponent, who quickly regenerated his shattered limb in moments, without any signs of damage, and says, "You have quite the bad luck. Among all the warriors present on this fighting stage, you chose to target the one whose abilities can counter you perfectly."

Enraged by Isaak's tone, Maji-Kayo yells, "Shut up, you bastard! A little bit of cold is useless against me!"

After yelling that, Maji-Kayo enlarges his hand and charges toward Isaak to deliver a giant-sized punch.

At the same time, Isaak's Cosmo explodes to the highest level possible, raises his two arms up in a triangular position, and begins to concentrate his Cosmo Energy.

When the gathered energy reach the desired limit, the image of a swordfish appears behind him, he then lowers his arms placing them horizontally, open his hands, and create a small sphere of electric energy in one hand and a small sphere of ice energy in the other.

Finally, he joins his hands at chest height and joins both spheres creating a bigger one before yelling, "Aurora Borealis!!" releasing all the energy gathered, into a deadly tornado of ice and electricity which immediately hits the still running Maji-Kayo blasting him out of the fighting stage and leaving a trail of frozen destruction of its path.

Shortly after, a much smaller Maji-Kayo, because the rest of his body was likely demolished by Isaak's Aurora Borealis, appears on the spectator stands among the Gods of the 3rd Universe and the other eliminated warriors, thus confirming his elimination from the Tournament of Power something that the Grand Minister announces and that the Zenos mark on their GodPads just like they did with all the eliminated warriors until now.

At the same time, I notice that some of the warriors of my team are about to eliminate a couple more opponents from the other universes.

One of the enemy warriors that is about to be eliminated is one from the 2nd Universe who has made a very costly mistake.

I'm talking about Bikal, a humanoid young woman with long pale blue hair tied into a ponytail, pointed ears, gold eyes, usually glowing purple, black, and purple wings, and light grey skin whose outfit consists of a purple and black leotard.

(Image Here - Bikal)

To avoid a direct confrontation with the two Namekians from the 6th Universe, Bikal chose to make use of her wings to take flight and get away from their encirclement.

Unfortunately for her she only gou out of the frying pan to fall into the fire as Angemon, Stingmon, and XV-mon were just waiting for the right opportunity to take advantage of their number and arial superiority once again, and as soon as they noticed the lone and distressed Bikal fly up in the air, they didn't hesitate to encircle her and knock her off the tournament with another well synchronized combination that left her no chance to defend herself making the Grand Minister announce and the Zenos mark the first warrior of the 2nd Universe that was eliminated.

The other warrior is Dr. Rota from the 6th Universe, who is about to confront Juan.

Dr. Rota has red skin, with a large snout and tusks protruding out of his face, similar to a warthog.

He has a small pair of glasses, a black shark fin on his head, and wears a black robe, fastened at the waist with a white belt.

(Image Here - Dr. Rota)

Dr. Rota casually stands in front of Juan and starts to wave his hands while muttering some kind of incantation under his breath, however, Juan doesn't give him the time to finish his incantation as he burns his Cosmo and then extends, pointing at his opponent while yelling, "Astral Gravition!!"

In an instant, Dr. Rota is enveloped in a gravitational force field surrounded by rays, which keeps him suspended in the air inside the barrier, unable to do anything as the strong gravitational force within the barrier is so strong that stops him from moving but not strong enough to kill him.

At the same time, I notice that the struggling movement of Dr.Rota's lips are much slower now that he is inside the barrier, almost like a slow motion of a video, and immediately realize that at the moment the gravity within the barrier is strong enough to causes a noticable time dilatation making me once again marvel at Juan's control over gravitational forces.

After trapping Dr. Rota within the Astral Gravitation barrier, Juan casually manipulates the barrier to make it hover over the edge of the fighting stage before casually waving his hand and saying, "Bye-bye, Pumbaa, and remember Hakuna Matata!"

At the same time, he dismisses the Astral Gravitation barrier trapping Dr. Rota, making his opponent fall into the bottomless abyss, thus eliminating him without even actually harming him in any way or capacity, well, not considering the emotional damage of being eliminated without doing anything noteworthy.

As the Zenos mark the elimination of Dr. Rota on their GodPads, I hear Kharna call me out, "Daddy!"

I look at her and see her use the most destructive and deadly weapon in her arsenal. She looks at me with her big, shining, dark golden eyes, giving me the sweetest, most innocent gaze, and asks, "In the previous chaos, I kinda lost track of what is going on. Can you tell me the situation of every team? Pretty Peas!"

Unable to resist her deadly puppy eyes, I take a moment to look at the overall situation on the fighting stage as quite a few warriors have already been eliminated from the Tournament of Power before I calmly say, "It's no problem, princess. Let's start with the easiest: the 10th Universe has lost all its warriors and has been eliminated from the Tournament of Power. Then there is the 9th Universe, which has lost 7 warriors and thus only 3 remain, who are Clova, Cyenne, and Peppars. The next universe with the most eliminated warriors is the 3rd Universe, which has lost Za Priccio, Nigrissi, Narirama, and Maji-Kayo and now remains with 6 warriors still fighting. Following that, there is the 4th Universe with Nink, Shosa, and Majora eliminated, leaving them with a respectable 7 warriors still fighting. In the end, all the remaining Universes only lost one warrior. Koby from our team, the stinky Krillin from the 7th Universe, that humanoid dinosaur Vewon from the 11th Universe, that lady with wings named Bikal from the 2nd Universe, and lastly that guy eliminated by Juan a few moments ago, who is from the 6th Universe."

While my daughter thanks me for the quick recap of the current situation, I notice that the unconscious Kale is recovering from the effects of her previous rampage and Broly's attack and is now waking up, and as soon as she notices the close-by Caulifla, she weakly calls her out, "Ane-san..."

Caulifla quickly rushes up to Kale, holds her shoulders, and focuses her gaze on her for a few moments before she smiles and compliments her, "You really are amazing!"

Confused as she still doesn't remember what happened during her rampage, Kale asks, "Huh? What are you talking about?" which makes Caulifla ask with clear surprise in her tone, "You don't remember?"

In response to her question, Kale looks away and stutters, "N-No." making Caulifla exclaim, "You've got guts there!" before she briefly explains what happened during her rampage.

Meanwhile, after separating from Broly, Goku notices the presence of Jiren and the other Pride Troopers nearby and, without any hesitation, he walks up to them and challenges Jiren, "Jiren, fight with me!"

As Goku prepares to fight Jiren, Top suddenly ambushes him with his Justice Flash as he gathers 5 orange Ki Balls at the tip of his fingers while placing his left hand on his right wrist before repeatedly firing these five energy balls at once like a machine gun.

The stream of energy balls constantly hit Goku's body, making him cry out in pain while also sending him crashing against the floor with such force that he gets buried.

After pushing away Goku, Top lands next to Jiren and says, "I'll let the five selected members finish him. We will temporarily retreat and save our stamina."

Top and Jiren immediately retreat to conserve their stamina while Goku punches his way out from the floor of the fighting stage, emerging right next to a surprised Kale and Caulifla while holding his stomach and lamenting the fact that Top hit him without even a warning.

Caulifla misunderstands the reason behind Goku's sudden appearance and calls him out to scold him, "Hey, you! Did you come for Kale while she's down? You rotten bastard!" which makes Goku immediately wave his hands and explain himself, "Wait, I got blown away-"

However, he stops as he notices the presence of Kahseral and his fellow Pride Troopers Tupper, Zoire, Cocotte, and Kettle, making him ask, "Who are you guys? Those clothes... You're from Top's universe, ain't you?"

In response, Kahseral shouts, "Indeed," before he strikes a ridiculous pose while introducing himself, "I am Kahseral!"

Kahseral is a humanoid, resembling an Earthling in appearance; his skin has a tan hue, and his head is shaved.

Part of his face is cybernetic, including an ear, and he has a robotic eye, which is red. He also has a communication device attached to his other ear and wears a red beret.

After him, Tupper is the one who strikes another pose while introducing himself, "Tupper!"

Tupper is a muscular humanoid with teal skin, dark blue hair, and a mustache and beard.

(Image Here - Tupper)

Then Zoire does the same as his fellow Pride Troopers, "Zoire!"

Zoire is a small, impish creature with purple skin and a pair of outwardly curved horns.

(Image Here - Zoire)

At this point, it is Cocotte's turn who strikes a pose that vaguely reminds me of Guldo of the Ginyu Force, "Cocotte!"

Cocotte is a humanoid with very long, dark pink hair, and her skin is a very light pink color as well.

Her eyes are lime green, and she has bright green earrings that hang from her pointed ears. She also has a shapely figure.

(Image Here - Cocotte)

Lastly is Kettle, who gets down on his left knee and strikes a bodybuilder-like pose, "Kettle!"

Kettle is a well-built, humanoid olive-green amphibian-like member of the Pride Troopers with a set of barbels growing from the sides of his upper mouth, he has large yellow sclera eyes with red irises.

(Image Here - Kettle)

All of them wear the standard uniform of the Pride Troopers, which consists of a red and black skintight uniform with white gloves and boots.

The uniform can be worn by both males and females, as well as being form-fitting to the point that it can be worn by a variety of different races that are part of the organization.

After every one of them took their pose, they shouted in perfect sync while Power Ranger-like colorful explosions appeared behind them.

"""""We are the Pride Troopers!"""""

While Goku is stunned by the strange but somewhat familiar introduction, the members of the Pride Troopers finally notice the presence of Kale and Caulifla and comment.

"Top said you were alone."

"Hm? That girl."

"She's the one who defeated Vewon."

At this point, Kahseral shouts, "The Pride Troopers do not forgive those who defeat our own! By my sworn friend Top's orders, we shall dispose of you three!"

Hearing that, Goku quickly asks, "Hold it! I'm your opponent, right?" which makes Kahseral reply, "This is a battle royal. When we fight makes no difference."

At this point, Goku looks at the two Saiyan women and says, "You hear that? This'll be dangerous, so stay back." However, Caulifla immediately rebuts, "Don't be stupid! You're not taking on such fun targets all for yourself!"

Goku then looks at Kale and says in an uncertain tone, "But she's..." which makes Kale hide behind Caulifla while muttering that she doesn't like Goku.

Caulifla immediately defend her protègèe, "Screw that!" before she moves behind Kale and holds he shoulders while saying, "Kale here isn't so weak that she needs your pity! I'm proud that she's my protègèe!"

In response to Caulifla's words, Kale happily blushes before Caulifla says, "Let's do this, Kale. You got some rest and recovered your stamina, right?" which makes Kale reply with an enthusiastic, "Y-Yes!"

Hearing Kale's reply, a grin forms on Goku's face, and thus the two young Saiyan women form a temporary alliance with Goku to fight against the five Pride Troopers.

Meanwhile, I notice that Goza is now fighting against the warrior from the 2nd Universe, Prum.

Prum is a brick red humanoid blob that normally has a yellow eye color who wears no clothing at all, but luckily, it seems that there is nothing in plain sight that forces me to alter reality in order to censor it, making him something akin to a golem.

(Image Here - Prum)

His eye color turns green, and his body glows blue whenever he is charged with someone's ki blasts before he reflects them in whatever direction he decides to.

Of course, until now Goza was basically playing around with his opponent as he is still in his base form and casually attacked him by launching a Ki Blast form time to time allowing Prum to reflect them and use the small floating orbs he created from his body to ricochet Ki Blasts off of them to hit and annoy opponents far away from his location.

However, it is clear that Goza has grown annoyed with his opponent relentlessly and arrogantly flaunting his own supposed invincibility as he closes in on Prum and knocks him off the fighting stage with a single decisive punch, which makes the Zenos gleefully mark his elimination.

After taking care of Prum, Goza regroups with his brother Gohan and Piccolo, whom he had split up from following Kale's rampage.

Shortly after, Vegeta and Cell also join them, and Cell is casually carrying the defeated figure of Biarra, a warrior from the 3rd Universe, much to the annoyance of Vegeta, who also set his sight on him, but Cell was faster in dealing with him.

"Dammit, Cell! I was targeting him!"

"Oh, come on, Vegeta! This one is clearly an Android... I had to prove that I was the superior one."

Biarra is a giant android with a stocky build, he possesses red arms and legs, seemingly made of flesh.

His head, torso, shoulder pads, wrists, hands, waist, and feet are augmented by mechanical parts. In addition, he has an advanced ventilator on his face and blue, artificial eyes, these parts are mostly blue with yellow and white accents.

(Image Here - Biarra)

After saying that, Cell casually throws the defeated Biarra off the fighting stage, eliminating him from the Tournament of Power.

At this point, the Zenos mark the elimination of yet another warrior, and soon after, they calmly chat with the Grand Minister.

"Swipe, swipe..."

"Biarro... Tap!"

"There goes another one!"

"More of them are dropping out!"

"The warriors are probably beginning to tire."

Suddenly, Zeno-1 asks, "Where is Goku?" Zeno-2 notices Goku fighting against the Pride Troopers and points in his direction before he says, "Oh, look." This makes Zeno-1 exclaim in an excited tone, "He's getting attacked," followed by Zeno-2, who repeats in the same tone, "Yeah, he's getting attacked."

I watch as Goku is grabbed by Tupper in a grip lock before Tupper covers himself with a rocky substance and alters his weight to further restrain the struggling Goku, increasing his weight so much that Goku's feet sink into the floor.

At the same time, Zoire uses his special attack Justice Spin to attack the restrained Goku by spinning himself at an extreme speed, which causes a whirlwind or tornado-like effect, making Goku grunt in pain on impact.

Caulifla is also having some trouble as she is fighting against Kettle who is dodgling all her attacks while discretly creating many energy balls in the air above the area he is fighting in without having to make any movement which allows him to take Caulifla by surprise as she suddenly finds herself surrounded by energy balls who chase after her under Kettle's manipulation causing a series of devastating explosions.

Nearby, Kale isn't faring any better as she is trapped by Cocotte, who uses her Cocotte Zone to create a barrier out of purple energy that can be used defensively, to shield herself, or offensively to trap her opponents, just like in this situation.

With a quick glance I realize that the Cocotte Zone is a miniature dimension closed off from the outside world which makes it exceptionally hard to break through making it quite similar to the barriers that I create using Spatial Magic, but this also means that they have the same weakness which is that it can be broken by using enough power to break Space itself, which isn't that rare as many warriors on the fighting stage are able to do so.

While this is happening, Kahseral calmly watches everything and says, "Impressive as ever, Cocotte, the Dimensional Illusionist. But using five Pride Troopers to take care of only three enemies. It seems like a waste."

Suddenly, Android 18 and Android 17 come to the rescue with Android 17 attacking the careless Kahseral with a kick, taking advantage of the fact that his opponent was distracted and couldn't sense his energy.

Shortly, Kahseral starts to use his Justice Saber to create yellow energy sabers in his hands, which can be controlled to become larger or shorter, and then use them to attack the two androids, forcing them to dodge.

As they continue to dodge Kahseral's attacks, the siblings exchange a quick glance before Android 18 gets away and moves in Goku's direction to help him get out of the sticky situation he found himself in.

Meanwhile, Kahseral ignores Android 18's retreat believing that she is simply escaping and focuses on Android 17 and uses his Justice Bomber where he charges a bright yellow energy sphere at the tip of his Justice Saber, which grows in size until it engulfs Kahseral's hand, and then, he raises it above his head and flings the energy sphere at his opponent causing a massive explosion.
