Rip!
Toppo tore off the tight red suit he was wearing.
This outfit was the uniform of the “Pride Troopers,” the hero team in Universe 11, and it was Toppo’s favorite outfit.
But now Toppo tore it apart, not because he wanted to fight bare-chested, but because he intended to set aside the justice he has always adhered to.
“Lin Chen! I underestimated you before!”
“Because of my carelessness, Universe 11 was humiliated! Now, I will forsake everything just to defeat you!”
In an instant, Toppo lost all hesitation, his fists clenched tightly, assuming a stance.
The next moment, a purple energy enveloped Toppo’s body, a special pattern appeared on his chest, and his muscles turned black.
The situation was akin to Broly’s Destroyer Form before.
“Huh? Toppo transformed too?”
“Interesting, what kind of transformation is this?”
Upon hearing the questions from the two Zenos, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Belmod, explained, “Zeno-sama, this is Toppo’s Destroyer Form. In this form, Toppo can freely wield the power of a God of Destruction.”
“So it’s the power of God of Destruction!”
“How fascinating!”
The two Zenos exclaimed excitedly.
At that moment, with all the eyes staring, Toppo, who had completed his transformation, began to stride heavily towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen raised his hand, sending energy blasts towards Toppo.
“What an idiot, mere energy blasts can no longer harm Toppo.”
Belmod on the stands wore a smirk upon seeing Lin Chen’s response.
It’s worth noting that Toppo’s body was now coated with the Power of Destruction. Anything that approached Toppo, including energy blasts, would be destroyed.
Therefore, long-range attacks were futile.
As for close combat, although he cannot use Power of Destruction to directly destroy his opponent as it was restricted by the rules, Toppo’s Energy of Destruction was not to be trifled with.
In the short term, Toppo had already attained power rivaling that of a God of Destruction!
While Belmod sneered, Toppo, withstanding Lin Chen’s attacks, had already charged right up to him, his massive fist aimed at Lin Chen.
Amidst a loud sound, Lin Chen’s body slid backward.
The imposing momentum that previously defeated Toppo with a single blow was no longer present!
“Ah! Lin Chen is being suppressed!”
“This Toppo really did live up to his earlier words!”
The two Zenos exclaimed in astonishment.
Lin Chen snorted coldly in his heart, acknowledging that Toppo in his God of Destruction state was indeed worthy of his reputation. The ordinary Super Saiyan 4 form was no longer enough.
“Well, this is fine. Let me break through with the help of your power!”
Then, Lin Chen stomped his foot and charged back towards Toppo.
The two engaged in a close-quarters brawl.
Boom! Boom!
In the arena, after a series of relentless exchanges akin to a fierce storm, the situation seemed to be turning in Toppo’s favor.
Because amidst this frenzied exchange, Lin Chen was unexpectedly struck several times in succession.
Some of these hits appeared quite severe, causing Lin Chen to cough up blood.
“What’s going on with him? Doesn’t he have a more powerful form? Why use this form which doesn’t have Godly ki?”
Beerus was completely puzzled.
Goku and the others were also perplexed.
Clearly, Lin Chen’s Super Saiyan Silver-Grey could easily defeat the opponent, so why is he stuck to Super Saiyan 4 now?
They probably couldn’t have imagined that Lin Chen’s current situation is actually intentional.
He wanted to rely on Toppo’s attacks to accumulate his anger.
But Lin Chen sensed it and found that it wouldn’t work. At this moment, he still couldn’t advance further.
Even though he was burning with anger from being beaten, Lin Chen still couldn’t see the threshold of Super Saiyan 5.
Since it’s useless, he might as well not take this beating.
Suddenly, Lin Chen sprang up like a swallow from the ground.
Just before Toppo’s muscular fist was about to hit him, Lin Chen suddenly grabbed Toppo’s fist.
Boom!
With a loud blast, the arena behind Lin Chen began to show signs of cracking once again.
An invisible formless shockwave swiftly swept over everything behind Lin Chen.
As for Toppo, seeing that Lin Chen had actually blocked his attack, his expression changed.
Because he suddenly found that he couldn’t pull his hand out from Lin Chen’s grasp.
“What… what’s going on?”
Toppo roared, and he used his other hand to attack.
Boom!
Another loud blast, and Toppo’s hand was once again blocked by Lin Chen.
At the same time, a red flame erupted all over Lin Chen’s body.
“Super Kaio-ken!”
Lin Chen’s right knee heavily struck, directly piercing through the layer of Energy of Destruction protecting Toppo’s body before reaching Toppo’s body.
This blow directly sent Toppo flying.
At the same time, the onlookers seemed to see a red energy piercing through Toppo’s body, heading straight out of the arena.
Toppo soared into the air, and the layer of black Energy of Destruction on his body instantly disappeared.
One second later.
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground resounded.
Toppo, like a deflated balloon, collapsed on the ground, completely unconscious.
“Hiss!”
The gods all gasped in shock.
Although because of the previous instant defeat, most of them had guessed that Toppo might lose again.
But no one expected Toppo, who had earnestly revealed power rivaling that of a God of Destruction, to lose so thoroughly.
Clearly, he had fought back and forth with Lin Chen before, but now he was once again instantly defeated?
How strong is this Lin Chen?
“Perhaps, Lin Chen is already as powerful as an Angel?”
Marcarita, the Angel of Universe 11, said.
“What?” Belmod was suddenly shocked.
Universe 7 actually has a contestant who can rival an Angel?
This is bad.
Originally, Belmod was confident that Universe 11’s Pride Troopers would win the Tournament of Power, but now suddenly Universe 7 has emerged.
They not only have at least three contestants with power equivalent to that of a God of Destruction, but also one whose power approaches that of an Angel!
How are the other universes supposed to compete with this?
Even Universe 11’s Jiren probably wouldn’t have a guaranteed chance of winning, right?
Just as everyone was surprised, the Grand Priest announced the outcome of the match.
“The match is over, the winner of this match is Lin Chen!”
“And so, the Zeno Expo comes to an end. According to Zeno-sama’s wish, the rules of the competition have already been set. Next, I will explain them, so please listen carefully. If you violate the rules during the competition, you will be disqualified immediately…”
