Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the arena, Lin Chen and Jiren’s fists collided once again.
Immediately, the arena shook, and the surrounding debris was all drawn towards the sky by the force of their collision, rising into the air.
Jiren’s face was filled with anger, his entire body enveloped in a bright red aura.
It turned out that at this moment, Jiren had actually abandoned Ultra Instinct, reverting back to his battle form.
His thinking was quite simple; since Ultra Instinct was countered by Lin Chen’s Ultra Ego, he might as well not use it at all.
Relying solely on absolute power, he refused to believe he couldn’t defeat the exhausted Lin Chen!
Swish!
Jiren’s fist remained locked together with Lin Chen’s fist for a brief moment, his lips curling in excitement.
In this punch, he could feel Lin Chen’s weakness!
Immediately after, Jiren swept his foot across.
The speed of this kick was astonishing, leaving a white arc in the air that reached its target in the blink of an eye.
However, Jiren’s kick had long been anticipated by Lin Chen’s senses.
Ultra Ego wasn’t just about hitting the enemy with 100% accuracy; its true essence lay in using aura to perceive everything.
If Ultra Instinct separated body and mind, allowing the body to instinctively react to enemy attacks, then Ultra Ego was about fusing the mind into the aura.
In this state, the crimson aura surrounding Lin Chen was an extension of his body.
Lin Chen could effortlessly lock onto any target with his aura, ensuring his attacks hit with perfect accuracy.
He could also perceive everything with his aura, and because the aura extends Lin Chen’s perception range, it can then evasion effect similar to Ultra Instinct.
Thus, Lin Chen easily blocked Jiren’s sweeping leg.
Boom!
Once again, a thunderous explosion echoed through the air.
Lin Chen stood firm without budging an inch!
“How…?”
Jiren was stunned, his eyes narrowing: “Burst Impact!”
The next second, a ferocious aura directly slammed into Lin Chen’s body.
Boom!
Despite the powerful collision, Lin Chen stood steadfastly in place, completely unscathed.
Seeing this, Jiren’s expression suddenly changed.
“How is this possible? How can you still possess such power?”
“Jiren, did my beatings turned you foolish?” Lin Chen sneered.
Since Ultra Ego was a realm similar to Ultra Instinct, it naturally boosted combat capabilities.
If Ultra Instinct maximized the user’s evasiveness while greatly enhancing strength and speed, then Ultra Ego maximized the user’s accuracy while significantly boosting strength and defense.
So… even though Lin Chen appeared to be in normal state on the surface, his Power Level has actually increased to the level equivalent to Super Saiyan Silver-Grey 4.
Jiren not using Ultra Instinct and trying to defeat Lin Chen in his battle form was simply wishful thinking.
The next moment, Lin Chen executed Instant Transmission and appeared directly in front of Jiren.
“Oh no!”
Jiren had clearly lost all his morale. Instead of meeting Lin Chen head-on as before, he took a step back, reflexively crossing his arms in front of him.
With a loud impact, Jiren was once again sent flying.
“Damn it…”
“Is it over? Is Jiren unable to continue?”
Seeing Jiren completely at a disadvantage, Belmod held his head in his hands.
No matter how he calculated it, he never expected Universe 7’s Lin Chen to be this formidable.
Even Jiren, who had mastered Ultra Instinct, was not a match for him!
And adding insult to injury, just as Belmod felt despair creeping in, the Grand Priest suddenly spoke up: “Universe 11’s Dyspo has been eliminated!”
“What?”
Belmod raised his head only to find Dyspo somehow seated in the spectator stands, awkwardly smiling at him. “I’m sorry, Belmod-sama.”
“You’ve been eliminated too… What about Universe 7?”
Belmod turned to look at the arena.
There, a silver-haired Goku was rapidly approaching Jiren and the others.
It turned out that Goku had once again used Ultra Instinct.
With Lin Chen and Goku teaming up, Jiren was truly in trouble this time!
Belmod sighed and lay down on his chair in resignation.
Not just him, everyone from Universe 11 wore looks of despair, feeling like their fate was sealed.
However, just when everyone thought Universe 11 would soon be eliminated, Goku rushed forward and began fighting Lin Chen.
“Goku! Have you lost your mind?!”
Beerus jumped up from his seat.
Others were also baffled: “What is Goku doing?”
“What’s wrong with Uncle Goku?”
“Dad?”
Only Vegeta guessed Goku’s intentions.
“You idiot Kakarot! Why are you challenging His Majesty without considering the timing!”
Vegeta understood Goku far better than anyone else.
He knew that Goku loved challenges to the core.
In the past, for the sake of challenges, he had spared his opponents, from Piccolo to Vegeta.
However, among all those opponents, there was one person Goku could never surpass, and that was Lin Chen.
So, Goku’s idea of helping Jiren was quite understandable.
He just wanted to defeat Lin Chen alongside Jiren.
As long as he could defeat Lin Chen, even cooperating with others is fine!
In the end, Goku was still a Saiyan!
Lin Chen also understood Goku’s thoughts when he saw Goku attacking him.
Without hesitation, he engaged in battle with Goku.
Although Goku was using Ultra Instinct, he is not much more difficult to deal with than Jiren.
Soon, Lin Chen turned from defense to offense, forcing Goku to retreat step by step.
“Brother Lin Chen, your Ultra Ego is really amazing! No wonder Jiren can’t beat you!”
While Lin Chen attacked, Goku barely managed to dodge and evade, but he couldn’t hold on for long.
A loud impact echoed in the air as Goku was sent flying, landing beside Jiren.
“Goku, what are you doing? I don’t need your help!” Jiren shouted.
“Jiren, let’s fight together! Use Ultra Instinct too! The two of us working together might be able to defeat Brother Lin Chen!” Goku suggested.
“What a joke!” Jiren waved his hand. “I won’t cooperate with anyone! My battles belong to me alone!”
Saying that, Jiren’s aura erupted once again, and his red battle suit was torn by his bulging muscles.
The red aura spread in all directions like lava.
At this moment, Jiren’s energy unexpectedly surged again!
