Chapter 251: Battle of the Gods of Destruction!
Whoosh!
The Omni-King has arrived!!
Accompanying the Omni-King was the Grand Priest, whose expression remained composed. As soon as the Omni-King and the Grand Priest appeared, the previously lively atmosphere fell silent.
"Ah-hem!"
"Greetings, everyone! It's been a while!"
"I assume everyone has made their preparations for the Tournament of Power?"
In the arena, no one—be it the Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, or the participants—dared to speak.
They all silently focused on the Grand Priest and the Omni-King.
These were the supreme deities of all universes. Without the Tournament of Power, most beings would never even dream of seeing them.
Among the gods present, a nervous tension inexplicably built up. After all, who wouldn't feel anxious when facing entities who could decide life and death with a single word?
The Grand Priest scanned the crowd, noting the silence, and remarked, "It seems that everyone here isn't particularly enthusiastic, is that right?"
"In that case, let's liven things up with a simple battle before we begin!"
The crowd froze for a moment, and almost immediately, unease filled the air.
The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais exchanged looks, spotting the anxiety in each other's eyes.
What was the Grand Priest planning?
Why did this feel so ominous?
Before anyone could react, the Grand Priest snapped his fingers, and a square arena appeared on the original stage.
This development left everyone stunned.
"Now then... Gods of Destruction, please step into the ring!"
The moment those words were uttered, all the Gods of Destruction were stunned beyond belief.
"What?"
"Why us? Isn't this tournament about selecting the strongest warriors from each universe to compete?"
"Why?!"
It wasn't just the Gods of Destruction. Almost everyone present was in turmoil.
Were the Gods of Destruction really being asked to enter the ring?
Could it be...
Was the "lively atmosphere" the Grand Priest mentioned actually meant to involve a battle between the Gods of Destruction?
Unbelievable!!
What a bombshell!
Seeing everyone so shocked, the Grand Priest simply smiled and said, "The Gods of Destruction are also residents of their respective universes. It's only natural for them to participate as representatives, isn't it?"
This statement was utterly unexpected.
The God of Destruction from Universe 1 remarked, "Who would've thought that the appetizer for the Tournament of Power would be... a battle between the Gods of Destruction!!"
Champa started to panic, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Oh no, I haven't trained in years. Am I going to be dead last?"
Vados chuckled beside him. "Well, who told you to slack off so much?"
Champa wasn't in the mood to retort. He was preoccupied with figuring out what to do next.
If he faced anyone else, he could handle it easily. But against the other Gods of Destruction? His strength wasn't exactly top-tier among them. He might even end up being the weakest.
While the Gods of Destruction were astonished, the rest of the crowd was electrified. A battle between Gods of Destruction was a rare spectacle.
The mere thought of witnessing such a fight was thrilling...
Initially, the participants had felt nervous about competing against warriors from other universes. But now, excitement outweighed their anxiety. If even the Gods of Destruction were stepping up, what did they have to fear?
The Grand Priest had spoken.
Even if the Gods of Destruction were reluctant, they had no choice but to comply.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, all 12 Gods of Destruction stepped onto the arena.
This sight captured everyone's attention!
As soon as the Gods took their places, Quitela, the rat-like God of Destruction from Universe 4, folded his arms and asked, "What are the rules for our battle?"
In response, the Grand Priest smiled. "We'll decide the rules after observing your fight. For now, just battle!"
"Oh, and one more thing..."
"The Omni-King is considering rewarding any God of Destruction who performs exceptionally well in this battle."
After these words, the entire arena fell silent, stunned by the lack of concrete rules. This was essentially a free-for-all!
Before the crowd could process their shock, the Grand Priest's smile disappeared. He looked at the Gods of Destruction with a serious expression.
"By the way, if any God of Destruction holds back, they'll be eliminated on the spot."
Boom!
This declaration caused an uproar.
No one had expected that even the mighty Gods of Destruction could be eliminated so casually. It was terrifying!
The Gods' expressions shifted instantly. They had initially planned to put on a token display for the appetizer. But the Grand Priest was clearly serious!
So, holding back wasn't an option anymore.
In the stands, participants from various universes began regaining their composure. While the situation seemed unbelievable, their excitement now overshadowed everything else.
This would be a full-power battle between Gods of Destruction!
Finally, they could witness the true strength of these deities.
"This is incredible! I never thought I'd get to see all the Gods of Destruction fighting at full power!"
Greta, a Saiyan warrior, was ecstatic. For Saiyans, who were passionate about battle, this was the ultimate spectacle.
Especially seeing the strongest warriors clash—it was almost as if they were in the fight themselves. The feeling was exhilarating!
The other Saiyans shared the same enthusiasm.
Mu Chuan silently observed everything, seeing this unexpected battle as a pleasant surprise. He had always wanted to gauge the gap between himself and the Gods of Destruction.
Now, the opportunity had arrived.
Beerus was far too strong, making it hard for Mu Chuan to even put up resistance.
However, he knew...
Beerus wasn't the strongest among the Gods of Destruction.
Some of the others were slightly weaker, giving him a chance to measure himself against them.
This was an excellent opportunity!
"It's like finding a treasure without even searching for it!"
"This appetizer is fantastic!"
On the arena, after clarifying the rules, the Gods of Destruction spread out. Despite the chaotic nature of the battle, they maintained their composure as deities.
Quitela crossed his arms, glanced at Beerus, and sneered. "This might be the perfect chance to figure out who the strongest God of Destruction is. Don't you think so, Beerus?"
