“Ul-Ultra Instinct?”
Cumber reverted to his normal state, his eyes bloodshot, a look of disbelief on his face.
“You… You can use Ultra Instinct?!”
A mouthful of blood spilled out from Cumber’s mouth.
Using the last of his strength, he grabbed onto Jiren’s shoulder.
“If I had known… that you could use Ultra Instinct… I wouldn’t have… fought you… I hid for tens of thousands of years… never thought that today…”
Amidst endless unwillingness, this Saiyan who once disrupted two universes, the Saiyan Demon hidden in history, ceased to breathe.
“Is he dead?”
Jiren looked at the gaping hole in Cumber’s chest and reverted from Ultra Instinct.
At this moment, he felt a sense of relief.
A sense of liberation from the guilt that had lasted for millennia.
However, Jiren didn’t relax for long.
Soon after ending the battle, he realized that at the other end of the planet, a terrifying aura had appeared.
This aura didn’t belong to Lin Chen, so it could only come from that guy named Hearts.
And the power this person was displaying now seemed even stronger than the Super Saiyan 3 Cumber from earlier!
Without hesitation, Jiren immediately rushed towards their direction.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several flashes and explosions, the sky calmed down again.
Super Hearts looked at Lin Chen wiping the blood from his face, laughing triumphantly.
“You are truly remarkable. Among the many strong fighters I’ve seen, your strength can enter the top five. The weakest among the top four is at the level of Grand Priest.”
Hearts spoke with an air of superiority. In fact, after absorbing the energy from the Universe Seed, Hearts considered himself to have surpassed even the Angels, and maybe even Grand Priest, capable of standing on equal footing with Zeno.
It must be said that Hearts is like a frog in a well, but it couldn’t be helped. The strength disparity between him and Grand Priest was so vast that he couldn’t accurately assess their true levels.
So, in Lin Chen’s eyes, Hearts was nothing much.
If it weren’t for him preserving strength to deal with the trouble on Chronoa’s side, Lin Chen could have dealt with him at any time.
But now the problem arose: Hearts’ strength was precisely at the point between Lin Chen’s most powerful state and the power he displayed after using Ultra Ego.
This made Lin Chen somewhat hesitant.
“Lin Chen, ever since I knew you could defeat Cumber, I knew you were a formidable opponent! But I feel like your power shouldn’t be used for those deities! You’re human too! Don’t you want to fight for the fate and freedom of humanity?”
“Hearts, don’t you find your words ridiculous?” Lin Chen shook his head, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Moreover, do you think anyone would want to ally with you after seeing what you did to Zamasu and others?”
Hearts wasn’t surprised. “That’s a pity. Although I had high hopes for you, since you’re unwilling to stand with me…”
Shaking his head, Hearts went straight to action.
“Be careful!”
The people on the side suddenly shouted, and Lin Chen looked up to see that a huge cube had appeared above them at some point.
Immediately after, an astonishing power descended upon them.
It was Hearts’ Law of Gravity again.
But this time, Hearts’ Law of Gravity was so powerful that even Lin Chen couldn’t resist.
It was the kind of super gravity that can even affect the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Chen and the others behind him were pinned to the ground by gravity, unable to move at all due to the immense pressure.
At the same time, colorful cubes appeared around them, trapping them inside while forming cube walls around them.
This move was just like Hearts’ method of killing Zamasu.
“This is bad! We can’t let these cubes trap us!”
“We must find a way out!”
All of them, unwilling to be trapped, erupted out with all their power, trying to break free from Hearts’ Gravity Cage.
“Struggle all you want! My power is beyond your imagination! Let’s see how long you can hold on!”
The immense energy output caused the gravity on the people to increase once again.
Finally, someone passed out due to the powerful gravity.
Some completely lost the ability to resist, lying on the ground, shouting despairingly to Lin Chen, “Mr. Lin Chen! Don’t you have other powers? Why aren’t you using them!”
“Other powers?”
Hearts tilted his head as if listening to something.
Then he said, “Oh? Does Lin Chen have other forms? Ultra Ego? What is that?”
“Lin Chen, why don’t you let me broaden my horizons?”
“You can hear what we’re thinking?”
Faced with Hearts’ provocation, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, still unable to make a decision.
But just then, a silver figure rushed over, and a red punch almost hit Hearts, causing him to step back a few steps.
“Jiren?!”
After Hearts was hit, the gravity pressing down on everyone suddenly weakened a bit. Someone looked up and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The one who attacked Hearts was Jiren, who had just been fighting Cumber in the distance.
“It’s you?”
Hearts was somewhat surprised to see Jiren.
“You appearing here, does it mean Cumber is dead?”
“You can go ask him in hell!”
Jiren roared angrily, his fists preparing to strike Hearts like machine guns.
However, at this moment, Jiren’s expression suddenly changed, and he swiftly dodged to the side and then retreated rapidly.
“What’s going on? Ultra Instinct had a reaction? He attacked me just now?”
Jiren was puzzled, while Hearts was also surprised that Jiren had dodged his attack.
Hearts tilted his head, listened for a moment, and then said, “Ultra Instinct? A realm where one can dodge all attacks? A technique of the Angel race? Interesting. Just before I challenge the Grand Priest, let me practice with you!”
Hearts raised his hands, and the twelve green orbs behind him emitted a strange light.
Then, a huge golden cube appeared in front of Jiren.
While Jiren was on high alert, the golden cube suddenly collapsed from the inside out.
“Super Gravity Well!”
Under the sudden burst of power from Hearts, the massive cube turned into a black hole, and the immense suction force from the black hole directly pulled Jiren towards its center.
“Oh no!”
Jiren’s expression drastically changed as he desperately tried to break free from the power of the black hole. Faced with this omnidirectional attack, his Ultra Instinct was completely ineffective, and he could only rely on his own strength.
But how could Jiren’s strength alone compare to Hearts, who had absorbed the energy of twelve universes?
In the stalemate, his body began to be dragged bit by bit towards the black hole.
