During the battle between Lin Chen and Hearts, in another corner of the royal capital, explosions continued to resound.
Two opponents with similar fighting styles were engaged in a head-on confrontation.
Wherever they went, it was as if a tornado had swept through, leaving nothing but ruins and debris. Even the ground was full of craters, as if it had weathered a meteor shower.
Because the battle was so intense, both of them were completely absorbed, unaware of the escalating situation in the distance.
After blocking an attack from Cumber, Jiren didn’t hesitate at all and immediately lifted his leg to kick at Cumber.
A black arc streaked through the air, and before Cumber could dodge, his waist caved in.
With a violent impact, Cumber’s burly figure was sent flying, crashing through several buildings before finally coming to a halt.
But, despite the tremendous power of the attack, Cumber quickly got up, casually dusting himself off as if the attack hadn’t affected him at all.
“Not bad!”
Cumber sneered, brushing off the dust from his body.
“So, that old man was your master? You’re much stronger than him! But your outcome won’t be any different from him!”
Cumber tightly clenched his fists, and in the next moment, a dark red aura burst forth from his body as he transformed into Super Saiyan.
“Super Saiyan?”
Jiren recognized it but showed no change in expression, simply tearing off his team uniform to reveal a body full of muscles.
“Cumber! I will avenge my master!”
The next moment, the air around Jiren seemed to ignite, emitting a fiery red glow.
Simultaneously, he stomped his foot, transforming into a streak of red light that vanished from the spot.
When Jiren reappeared, he was already standing in front of Cumber as he delivered a thunderous punch.
“So fast!”
Cumber was surprised and couldn’t react in time, so he crossed his fists in front of him, taking Jiren’s blow head-on.
Even though he had transformed into a Super Saiyan, Cumber was still almost knocked senseless by Jiren’s punch.
But it wasn’t over yet; Jiren’s follow-up attack had already arrived.
Still reeling from the initial blow, Cumber could only defend himself with his arms, enduring stronger and stronger attacks.
The air echoed with intense collisions, and Cumber’s legs left trails on the ground.
As a dignified Evil Saiyan, Cumber couldn’t just let Jiren continue attacking him like this.
After several seconds of passive defense, two evil claws suddenly emerged from behind Cumber and lunged at Jiren’s back.
Jiren instinctively stopped his attack and turned to deal with the claws.
Thud, thud!
After two punches, the evil claws were crushed under his fists.
Although his attack didn’t succeed, Cumber saw an opportunity to break free.
By the time Jiren realized, Cumber had disappeared before reappearing behind him.
A powerful punch struck Jiren’s face, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Bang!
Although it hit, Cumber was even more terrified than before.
Because he saw that despite unleashing a punch with tenfold power, Jiren only took half a step back, his body tilting slightly, seemingly unharmed.
“Brat!”
Seeing his attack fail, Cumber roared in frustration.
But Jiren didn’t waste any words and responded to Cumber with a punch of his own.
This punch was almost an exact replica of Cumber’s previous one.
Jiren’s punch similarly landed on Cumber’s face, almost shattering his mask.
But unlike Jiren’s previous nonchalant demeanor, Cumber was sent crashing to the ground.
Seeing Cumber lying on the ground, Jiren didn’t pursue further but instead looked down at him silently.
Although his face remained expressionless as usual, Jiren’s heart was turbulent.
So many years, he had waited for this day to avenge his master!
“Gicchin, can you see this?”
Jiren’s indifferent demeanor completely infuriated Cumber.
After a furious roar, Cumber slammed both palms against the ground, using the rebound force to jump up.
Then, the red-black aura around him swelled again.
Crackle!
The mask on Cumber’s face, already cracked, completely shattered at this moment.
It was then that Cumber’s aura acted like opening the valve of a fountain, erupting completely.
“Jiren! My mask was a special device to suppress my power. Now that you’ve shattered it, get ready to regret it!”
As if to validate Cumber’s words, powerful waves of energy swept out from his body.
The earth trembled, and spider web-like cracks spread out in all directions from under Cumber’s feet.
Under Jiren’s gaze, Cumber’s golden hair began to visibly grow longer at a rapid pace.
But his eyebrows disappeared.
Hiss…
As the evil energy inside Cumber continued to gather and compress, numerous black lightning appeared in the red-black aura around him.
If Lin Chen and the others were present, they would recognize that Cumber had transformed into Super Saiyan 3!
Super Saiyan 3 could increase Power Level by several hundred times.
Cumber, who was already comparable to a Super Saiyan God in his normal state, now possessed a power that was scalp-tingling, making even Jiren in Battle Form no match for him.
After completing his transformation, Cumber raised his head and evilly smirked at Jiren.
In the next moment, he charged at Jiren with overwhelming force.
Ha!
As he reached Jiren, Cumber threw a punch, and Jiren, not backing down, met it with his own fist.
But this time, Jiren was indeed at a disadvantage.
In just an instant, Jiren was sent flying by the powerful impact.
After leaving a long gully on the ground with his feet, Jiren finally stabilized himself.
“He’s really much stronger…”
Jiren muttered softly, showing no signs of fear.
However, strangely enough, Jiren then stopped his offensive and retracted the fiery aura surrounding him.
Seeing this, Cumber looked surprised. “What are you doing? Are you giving up and admitting defeat?”
Although he said that, Cumber had no intention of stopping.
With a strange shout, he once again rushed towards Jiren.
But then, just as Cumber’s figure was about to reach Jiren, Jiren’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and a silver-white aura descended upon him.
At the moment when Cumber’s figure was about to hit him, Jiren’s body moved mysteriously, evading Cumber’s attack at the last second and then striking back with his fist aimed at Cumber’s heart.
Splat!
Blood sprayed everywhere!
Jiren had upheld his principle of not-killing for who knows how many years, but now it was broken!
