Chapter 134: Universe 3 is Cleared

Hit's eyes widened in surprise as he raised his arms, bracing himself against Goten's relentless assault. Each punch landed with earth-shaking force, sending him stumbling backward with every impact.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Goten's fists hammered into Hit with ferocious speed, pushing him ever closer to the edge of the stage. Sensing an opening, Goten let out a powerful shout. "Ha!" He thrust his right fist forward, channeling all his strength into a single blow. The punch connected squarely with Hit's chest, sending him hurtling off the stage.

"Hit of Universe 6 is out!" the Grand Priest announced, his voice echoing through the arena.

"Jiu…" The Future Omni-King leaned forward, pressing the icon on his Divinepad with a gleeful expression, marking Hit's elimination.

At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in Goten's mind. "Ding! Congratulations to the master for defeating Hit and learning Flash Time and Flash Space…"

Goten took a deep breath, a slight smile crossing his face as he returned to his normal form. Having mastered Hit's time-manipulating techniques, he felt his strength grow even further. His gaze shifted across the arena, settling on Jiren. With Hit defeated, there were few left who could challenge him. Only Jiren remained as a formidable threat.

Meanwhile, on another side of the competition stage, Goku had encountered an unusual opponent. Standing before him was a figure clad in white and blue tights, with a blue glass helmet covering his face. This was Catopesra, a self-proclaimed righteous policeman from Universe 3.

Goku sized up Catopesra, his fists raised in a battle-ready stance. Catopesra met Goku's gaze with a determined look, shouting as he charged forward. Within moments, he was upon Goku, his fists flying as he unleashed a rapid series of punches. Each strike sliced through the air like the wind.

But Goku dodged with ease, sidestepping each punch effortlessly.

Frustrated, Catopesra clenched his teeth and retreated a few steps. He reached down, twisting the buckle on his belt with a swift motion. Instantly, the blue on the back of his suit turned red, and the letter "P" on his chest morphed into the letter "S."

In this new form, Catopesra's clothes had shifted to "Fast Mode," enhancing his speed to three hundred times the normal rate. Goten, watching the transformation from a distance, raised an eyebrow, murmuring to himself, "Kamen Rider?" The transformation reminded him of something he'd once seen in his previous life.

Ha!

Before Goten could ponder further, Catopesra darted toward Goku, his speed now blinding. Caught off guard, Goku barely had time to react before Catopesra's right fist connected with his face, sending him stumbling backward.

Seizing the advantage, Catopesra launched into a flurry of punches and kicks, each strike landing with precision and force. Goku found himself on the defensive, unable to counter as Catopesra's attacks pushed him back step by step.

With a cold sneer, Catopesra reared back, driving a powerful kick into Goku's chest. The force sent Goku flying toward a pile of rock debris. But just as he was about to crash, Goku stomped his feet into the ground, halting his momentum as he regained his balance.

Seeing this, Catopesra twisted the buckle on his belt once again. This time, his suit turned yellow, and the letter "S" on his chest changed to "B." In this "Combat Mode," Catopesra's strength was amplified three hundred times beyond normal.

"The color changed again!" Goku muttered, intrigued by his opponent's evolving abilities.

Without wasting a second, Catopesra charged forward, his fists raised in preparation for a renewed assault. Goku met his charge head-on, their fists colliding in a fierce clash. But this time, with Catopesra's increased strength, he managed to land several hits, sending Goku reeling.

But Goku quickly adapted, countering with a powerful kick that sent Catopesra flying. Enraged, Catopesra twisted his belt once more, transforming his suit to a deep purple. The letter "B" on his chest turned into a "U," signifying his "Ultimate Mode," which amplified both his speed and strength three hundred times over.

"The colors keep changing," Goku observed with a smile, entertained by Catopesra's unique transformations.

Meanwhile, Goten yawned, deciding to leave his father to deal with the peculiar warrior as he turned his attention to other fighters still on the stage.

Elsewhere, Vegeta had encountered another challenger from Universe 3. Standing before him was Maji Kayo, a towering figure with blue skin and hair shaped like an ice cream swirl. His presence was formidable, yet his Ki was notably weaker than Vegeta's.

Vegeta looked at Maji Kayo with mild disdain, sizing up the odd-looking warrior. Sensing Vegeta's disrespect, Maji Kayo's expression darkened.

"So, you're looking down on me?" Maji Kayo sneered.

Vegeta snorted, crossing his arms. "What if I am?"

"Then I'll make you regret those words!" Maji Kayo growled. He raised his right arm, which began to stretch, growing larger as it extended toward Vegeta in a powerful punch.

"Luffy?" Goten murmured, watching from afar as Maji Kayo's elastic attack reminded him of a certain anime protagonist from his previous life. But he quickly dismissed the thought. This was the world of Dragon Ball—any resemblance was purely coincidental.

Vegeta, unimpressed, easily dodged Maji Kayo's attack, sidestepping the giant fist with a smirk.

Maji Kayo's frustration mounted as he rushed toward Vegeta, his eyes filled with anger. In response, Vegeta's aura flared, his hair shifting to a vibrant blue as he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue. With a fierce battle cry, Vegeta launched a series of lightning-fast punches, each one narrowly missing Maji Kayo.

Realizing he couldn't match Vegeta's speed, Maji Kayo let out a roar and extended his arm into a massive palm, pressing down on Vegeta, pinning him to the ground.

Maji Kayo grinned triumphantly. "Got you now. You won't be able to move!"

But Vegeta merely scoffed. With a sharp cry, he released an intense burst of energy, shattering Maji Kayo's grip and sending him stumbling backward.

Maji Kayo's face paled, and before he could react, Vegeta appeared in front of him, fists flashing as he launched a devastating assault.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

Each punch landed with crushing force, sending Maji Kayo staggering backward, his screams echoing across the stage. The Supreme Kai of Universe 3 watched in horror, his face etched with worry.

"Ha!" Vegeta shouted as he drove his right fist into Maji Kayo's abdomen, putting all his strength into the blow.

"Aah!" Maji Kayo let out a final scream as he was launched off the stage, his body disappearing into the void below.

"Maji Kayo of Universe 3 is out!" the Grand Priest declared.

As Maji Kayo vanished, Goku dealt the finishing blow to Catopesra, knocking him off the stage with a powerful punch.

"Catopesra of Universe 3 is out! All contestants from Universe 3 have been eliminated. Universe 3 will now be erased!" the Grand Priest announced.

The Supreme Kai of Universe 3 stared in disbelief, his face pale as the gravity of their fate sank in. "It's… it's over…" he murmured, his voice trembling with despair.

The two Omni-Kings raised their hands, their expressions unfeeling as they activated their powers to erase Universe 3. The entire universe, along with its Supreme Kai, the God of Destruction, and every fighter, faded from existence, leaving only silence in their wake.

Champa, watching Universe 3's erasure, felt a pang of dread. His expression grew tense as he looked toward the remaining fighters from his own universe.

With only one warrior from Universe 6 left standing, he knew their fate hung by a thread. As long as that last fighter held on, there was hope. But if he fell, then Universe 6, too, would face the same fate.

Despite the inevitability of elimination, Champa clung to a desperate hope for survival, even if it was only for a moment longer. It was the last, faint desire of one faced with erasure.
