Chapter 260: The First Eliminated Universe!
Chapter 260: The First Eliminated Universe!
"This…"
"The Ninth Universe… has been completely eliminated?"
In the audience stands, everyone saw it clearly. All ten participants from the Ninth Universe had been eliminated; not a single one remained on the stage.
Did this mean the Ninth Universe was about to be erased?
The spectators held their breath. This was the real climax of the event. Why else would everyone fight so desperately to win the Tournament of Power?
Wasn't it all for the survival of their own universe?
At this moment, the God of Destruction and Supreme Kai of the Ninth Universe also felt as though they were suffocating.
The other Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais were similarly overwhelmed with an oppressive feeling of impending doom.
At that moment, the Grand Priest stepped forward.
"Since all participants from the Ninth Universe have been eliminated, it will now be erased!"
The Grand Priest's voice echoed through every corner. Not only the audience stands, but even the fighters on the stage heard it clearly.
All the contestants instinctively stopped their actions, freezing in place!
"This… is this for real?"
"It's only been five minutes since the start, and one universe has already been completely eliminated. Does this mean that universe will be entirely erased?"
The fighters on the stage felt an unprecedented level of pressure. Even though they had known beforehand that losing would result in the destruction of their entire universe, they had clung to a sliver of hope in their hearts.
But now…
Hearing the Grand Priest's declaration, everyone felt suffocated.
As the Grand Priest's words ended, Zeno raised his hand above his head.
"Very well, let's erase the Ninth Universe!"
With a clench of Zeno's fist, everyone in the Ninth Universe was gone in an instant—on the stage, be it the God of Destruction, the Supreme Kai, or the contestants, all had vanished!
Except for the angels.
It wasn't just on the stage. The entire Ninth Universe disappeared in an instant, erased completely!
The angel of the Ninth Universe sighed deeply, her face filled with helplessness. Although angels would not be erased in this event, the Ninth Universe had been utterly obliterated.
Witnessing the disappearance of the Ninth Universe with their own eyes, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock. Both contestants and Gods of Destruction alike felt an enormous weight pressing on their hearts.
This was real—it was a matter of life and death.
One failure, and it would be their universe next!
While everyone was still in shock, the Grand Priest hovered above with his hands clasped behind his back. His tone was indifferent as he said, "Now, I request all participants to be mindful of the passing time. Please continue the tournament!"
The Grand Priest's words signaled that the Tournament of Power must go on.
This stark reality eradicated any trace of complacency among those present. After all, the Ninth Universe had disappeared right before their eyes.
This unimaginable event had dealt a heavy blow to everyone.
Even the Gods of Destruction…
At this moment, they truly panicked!
Beerus shouted, "Absolutely… absolutely no losing! If you lose, I'll destroy all of you myself!"
The expressions on the faces of the Seventh Universe's participants turned extremely grim. Even those confident in their strength couldn't rule out the possibility of an unexpected defeat.
Fortunately, none of them had been eliminated yet.
The Seventh Universe remained at full strength on the stage.
On the other side, the four universes exempt from participating in the tournament also displayed expressions of disbelief and, faintly, relief.
"To think… an entire universe could be wiped out so easily!"
"This is terrifying!"
"We're lucky our universes didn't have to participate; it's like dodging a bullet!"
Watching the battles on the stage, these four universes' Gods of Destruction didn't think they would necessarily win if they had been involved.
It was too dangerous…
And far too unpredictable!
The Ninth Universe wasn't even considered weak, yet it had been eliminated so quickly—only five minutes into the match. Their total erasure left a profound impact.
That was an entire vast universe!
To be erased so decisively—it was incomprehensible to think about.
The God of Destruction from the Fifth Universe glanced at the audience.
"How many warriors from other universes are still on the stage?"
"It seems every universe has lost a few contestants."
"No, wait!!"
"The Seventh Universe hasn't lost a single contestant!"
At this moment, they realized something. While other universes had suffered eliminations to varying degrees, the Seventh Universe remained completely intact.
They were still at full strength!
These four Gods of Destruction couldn't help but glance at Beerus.
"It seems the Tenth Universe also hasn't lost anyone!"
"Hiss~"
This revelation made them gasp again. In such chaotic circumstances, having no eliminations was extraordinary.
How strong must they be?
Two universes, and not a single elimination among their participants!
That was incredible!!
"Unbelievable. The Seventh Universe and the Eleventh Universe both haven't lost anyone!"
"Jiren is in the Eleventh Universe, right?"
With this statement, the other Gods of Destruction began to understand. After all, Jiren was a monster of unimaginable strength.
His power rivaled that of a God of Destruction. If not for his disinterest in becoming one, he would have already assumed that position.
His strength was unfathomable.
"It seems the championship will come down to the Seventh Universe and the Eleventh Universe. But the Eleventh Universe likely has a higher chance of winning!"
The Gods of Destruction speculated, but none could say for sure. After all, the chaotic battles made it hard to determine who had the upper hand.
Based on what they knew, Jiren seemed the strongest. If no one could defeat him, the championship was as good as decided.
The four Gods of Destruction watched with bated breath.
On the stage.
Everyone felt an unparalleled level of pressure. None of them wanted to be eliminated, nor did they want to be erased.
After witnessing the Ninth Universe's tragic fate, no one wanted to share the same end.
Mu Chuan slowly walked toward the area where the Eleventh Universe's fighters were gathered. At this moment, the powerful warriors of the Eleventh Universe were unleashing devastating attacks, relentlessly targeting their opponents.
Toppo and Jiren were no exceptions.
Mu Chuan's appearance caused the battlefield to fall silent for several seconds. After all, her demeanor was far too peculiar.
She strolled leisurely amidst the chaos…
How confident and arrogant must one be to act like this?
The fighters of the Eleventh Universe paused their actions, turning to look at Mu Chuan.
