"Captain!" Dyspo called, looking at Toppo.
Toppo nodded. He understood Jiren's resolve and chose to respect his decision.
The Great Villain let out a sinister laugh.
"Jiren, you're as arrogant as ever. But this time, I won't let you escape!"
"You won't have the chance," Jiren replied, clenching his fists. A fiery red Ki erupted around him, radiating incredible power.
This was Jiren at full strength.
"Jiren… he's using his full power right from the start!" Toppo muttered in astonishment.
"Ha!!"
With a thunderous shout, Jiren launched himself forward, his right fist aiming straight for the Great Villain.
The villain raised his arms to block, but the impact sent him flying backward like a ragdoll. He skidded to a stop, digging his feet into the ground to stabilize himself.
Before he could recover, Jiren was already in front of him, attacking with a relentless flurry of punches and kicks at lightning speed.
The Great Villain was forced to retreat, barely managing to deflect Jiren's blows.
Bang!!
Jiren's right fist landed squarely in the villain's abdomen, sending him crashing into a nearby mountain.
Boom!!!
Dust and debris erupted into the air as the mountain shook from the impact.
"Ha!"
Jiren quickly gathered fiery red energy in his hands, unleashing a barrage of energy blasts at the mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Explosions lit up the sky, and the Great Villain's screams echoed across the battlefield.
"Dyspo!" Toppo called out. "Leave the Great Villain to Jiren. We'll handle the army of Universe 15!"
"Understood, Captain!" Dyspo replied, leading the Pride Troopers into battle against the opposing forces.
The sounds of fierce combat filled the air as the Pride Troopers clashed with the army of Universe 15.
Amid the chaos, Jiren paused his attack, waiting for the dust to settle.
Suddenly, the Great Villain burst out from the smoke, his face twisted in fury.
Jiren's eyes glowed red, firing laser-like beams faster than the eye could follow.
The Great Villain dodged effortlessly, appearing behind Jiren in an instant and throwing a devastating punch.
Jiren turned just in time, catching the villain's right fist with his left hand.
The Great Villain growled and swung his left fist, but Jiren caught it with his right hand.
The two fighters locked eyes, their auras colliding with overwhelming force.
"Ha!!!"
Jiren roared, pushing the Great Villain back. The ground beneath them cracked and collapsed under the sheer intensity of their clash.
After a tense stalemate, Jiren forced the villain to retreat several steps.
Both fighters gasped for breath, their eyes never leaving each other.
Regaining his composure, Jiren resumed his assault, his fists moving faster than the eye could track.
The Great Villain countered with equal ferocity, their punches and kicks colliding in a blur of red and purple light.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
Their movements were so fast it seemed as though they had hundreds of arms striking at once.
Dust and debris filled the air as the ground around them was torn apart by their battle.
The fight moved to the sky, the two combatants trading blows at blinding speed. From the ground, it appeared as if flashes of red and purple light were dancing in the heavens.
"Ahhh!!!"
Jiren roared, throwing a full-force punch with his right fist.
The Great Villain matched his roar, their fists colliding with an earth-shaking impact.
A shockwave spread outward, flattening the terrain below.
After a brief stalemate, they separated before rushing at each other again.
Universe 7, Earth
After the battle on Earth had ended, Goten had little to do. He asked Merus to use his staff to observe Universe 11.
"In the Tournament of Power, apart from Universe 7, Universe 11 was the strongest," Goten remarked.
Merus nodded. "This Jiren… he may have reached the level of a God of Destruction."
"At the Tournament of Power, his power was already at that level," Goten said. "And now, he's even stronger."
Merus nodded in agreement, both of them watching the intense battle unfold.
Universe 11
As the battle raged on, Jiren's focus wavered. Blinded by hatred and a thirst for vengeance, he poured every ounce of his power into his attacks, desperate to avenge his parents and friends.
Watching from the divine realm, Belmod couldn't hide his concern.
"Marcarita, is Jiren going to be alright?"
Marcarita shook her head. "He's consumed by anger right now. It's dangerous."
"Ha!!!"
Jiren's roar echoed as he landed a powerful punch to the villain's face, sending him crashing into the ground.
Boom!!!
The impact created a massive crater, dust rising into the air.
Without hesitation, Jiren gathered a massive red energy wave in his hands and fired it at the downed villain.
BANG!!!
The explosion rocked the battlefield, a red shockwave rippling outward.
When the smoke cleared, the Great Villain stood in the center of the crater. His clothes were tattered, and his expression was one of pure rage.
Jiren turned into a streak of red light, charging at the villain.
The Great Villain stomped his foot, launching himself into the air to meet Jiren.
In a flash, they collided, their fists and feet striking each other with incredible force.
Bang!!!
The Great Villain landed a solid punch to Jiren's face, but at the same moment, Jiren's fist connected with his. Both fighters staggered backward, their faces marked by the exchange.
They continued their brutal battle, trading blow for blow with relentless intensity. Every strike caused visible damage, but neither was willing to back down.
After minutes of vicious combat, both fighters were battered and bruised, their bodies pushed to the limit.
"Jiren," the Great Villain said, his tone serious. "You're strong, stronger than I expected. But I won't let you win today. I'll leave you to grow stronger for our next encounter."
With that, the Great Villain vanished, leaving Jiren standing alone amidst the devastation.
