“Toppo……”
Jiren glanced coldly at Toppo before turning away.
“Toppo, I will defeat Lin Chen, but not for you people!”
With that, Jiren stomped on the ground with both feet, and like a crimson meteor, his body charged towards Lin Chen.
Meanwhile, on the other side, there was a blue flash approaching Lin Chen as well.
Bang! Bang!
The sounds of two fists colliding almost simultaneously echoed, and Jiren shouted, “Goku, don’t interfere!”
“Jiren, you can’t defeat Brother Lin Chen by yourself!”
“Shut up!”
As Jiren’s strike missed, his body suddenly leaped into the air, palms pointing down.
“Ha!”
The moment the palm struck down, dozens of crimson energy beams rained down like raindrops, even attacking Goku.
Goku frowned, dodging left and right to evade the fierce attack.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen remained unfazed, directly facing Jiren’s attack. He unleashed a palm strike that sent dozens of golden energy waves soaring into the sky.
The collision of the two energies immediately caused a violent explosion in the arena like dazzling fireworks.
And amidst the explosion, Jiren charged towards the ground.
He quickly caught sight of Lin Chen’s figure, but to his surprise, even in the midst of the explosion, Lin Chen still had spare energy as he seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Goku.
As Jiren approached, he saw that Goku had already been sent flying by Lin Chen, lying on the ground, his condition unknown.
Then, Lin Chen’s gaze turned towards Jiren.
The contempt in his eyes caused the veins to stood out on Jiren’s forehead.
“Ahhh!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two immediately clashed, the dull sound of fists against flesh echoing around them.
Explosions erupted around the two figures.
And deep craters kept appearing on the arena.
Boom!
As their fists collided once again, a shockwave instantly dispersed all the smoke in the arena.
Lin Chen and Jiren’s bodies landed on two floating rocks in the arena.
Beneath their feet lay a devastated and shattered arena.
“Agh!”
Lin Chen suddenly felt weak in the knees, his body slightly contorted.
Several indentations appeared on his body, indicating serious injuries.
“He truly is a One Punch Man!”
Lin Chen couldn’t help but say sarcastically.
In the original work, Jiren’s strength was astonishing, and no matter the opponent, they could not withstand even a single punch of his.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Even with Lin Chen’s current strength, he still got injured by Jiren’s fists.
In comparison, Broly’s previous attacks hadn’t even scratched Lin Chen.
The difference in strength was clear.
However, hurting Lin Chen so severely wasn’t easy for Jiren either.
“Urgh!”
Suddenly, Jiren spat out a mouthful of blood, the red flames burning around him disappeared as if doused with water.
Jiren knelt on the floating rock, his face showing an incredulous expression. “Impossible…that person from back then, could he really become this strong? How is it possible!”
Jiren suddenly lifted his head, his eyes glaring at Lin Chen, filled with unwillingness.
Seeing his expression, the other gods from different universes began to feel a sense of despair.
What to do?
Even after all this, it seems like they still can’t defeat Lin Chen!
Could it be that this time everyone is truly doomed?
However, they failed to notice that amidst their panic, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Belmod, still remained indifferent.
“Jiren, it’s time to use that move! Without it, you cannot possibly defeat Lin Chen!” Belmod whispered.
As if hearing Belmod’s words, Jiren gritted his teeth and stood up. At the same time, he even reverted from his battle form, and his aura suddenly calmed down.
“Hmm?”
Hin Chen frowned. Was Jiren giving up? He actually canceled his battle form?
“I have no intention of giving up,” Jiren seemed to have heard Lin Chen’s thoughts, raising his head. “Lin Chen! You are indeed strong, but I will not lose! Because I am stronger than you! Strength is justice, and strength is absolute! For me, to lose means to have nothing, so… I will never lose!”
“So, witness my justice!”
Jiren’s body suddenly began to tremble, and then, his black pupils suddenly turned into silver-gray.
“What’s happening?”
“This is…”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the spectator seats, except for the Angel and God of Destruction of Universe 11, they all stood up simultaneously.
They looked at Jiren with an incredulous expression in their eyes.
At the same time, a silver-white aura appeared around Jiren, silver lines rising along his body.
His body began to emit a layer of silver halo.
Boom!
In the next instant, a scorching wave of energy spread out from under Jiren’s feet.
“This is…”
Even Lin Chen was stunned by the scene before him.
Because Jiren’s strange appearance was precisely the strongest realm in the Dragon Ball world…
Ultra Instinct!
“Belmod!” Champa suddenly shouted at the spectator seats: “What’s going on with Jiren?”
Belmod shrugged. “As you can see, Jiren has mastered Ultra Instinct. So, this time, our Universe 11 is guaranteed to win!”
“Not necessarily…”
Suddenly, on Universe 7’s spectator seats, the Angel Whis smiled faintly.
“Ultra Instinct, we have it too…”
“What?”
This time it was Belmod’s turn to be surprised.
Just as he wanted to clarify what Whis meant, Marcarita, the Angel of Universe 11, exclaimed, “Belmod-sama! Look over there!”
Belmod turned his gaze towards the arena and noticed that another silver-white pillar of light had appeared out of nowhere.
“That person is…”
“Goku?”
Lin Chen looked in surprise at Goku, who was getting up from the ground.
Under the sudden appearance of another silver-white pillar of light, Goku, covered in silver-white aura, turned his head.
His hair had turned silver at this moment, and his pupils, like Jiren’s, had turned silver-white.
What’s even more astonishing was that Goku’s face showed no emotions, giving an incredibly calm feeling.
“Kakarot is once again one step ahead of me?” Vegeta couldn’t help but mutter.
Meanwhile, Beerus’s jaw almost dropped in shock. He looked incredulously at Goku and then asked, “Whis, is that really…”
Whis nodded. “Yes, Beerus-sama, Goku has learned Ultra Instinct. Although it’s just Ultra Instinct Sign, he has indeed learned it.”
“But how could he…” Beerus was somewhat puzzled. “Jiren’s strength has surpassed that of a God of Destruction. It’s not surprising that he can achieve Ultra Instinct, but how could Goku also…”
