"Yuujin, those two girls just now—Caulifla and Kale—their auras felt kind of similar to yours,"

As they returned to their own camp, Chi-Chi casually spoke up.

"Well, they are Saiyans too, after all—Saiyans from Universe 6,"

Yuujin replied with a smile, and the women around him immediately understood.

Since both Universe 7 and their own Universe 13 had Saiyans, it wasn't surprising that Universe 6 did too.

"18, Dark 18, didn't you two just interact with Universe 7's No. 17 and No. 18? How were they?"

As if recalling something, Yuujin asked.

"Their earlier experiences are more or less the same as ours. However, during Universe 7's Cell incident, they fought together with Son Goku and Trunks against Cell, and weren't absorbed by him."

"Also, just like the timeline where I and Dark 17 came from, the androids in their universe were also created to deal with Son Goku. So after the Cell incident, they challenged Goku as well."

"And I assume they both lost to him, right?"

"Correct. After losing to Goku, they traveled around Earth for a while, then settled into a secluded life on a small island with that universe's Android 16. They only joined the Tournament of Power because of Goku's invitation."

Dark 18 recounted what she had learned, and Yuujin now had a clear idea of Universe 7's 17 and 18's backstory.

Compared to their originally destined fates, the changes were undeniably significant—especially Universe 7's 18!

"You're just interested in the other version of me from that universe, aren't you?"

"What, thinking of bringing her into your harem too?"

No one could miss Yuujin's intentions. No. 18 teased him playfully.

"Well, yes, I am thinking about it. I mean, she's another version of you from a different universe—I'd hate to see her end up in some other man's arms."

"But we'll talk about that later. Our main goal right now is to survive and win this Tournament of Power."

Yuujin admitted with a cheerful smile, not denying it at all.

Rolling her eyes at Yuujin, No. 18 didn't say anything more.

Yuujin already had a lot of women, so adding one more wouldn't change much for the rest of them.

But thinking further—if Yuujin really brought in Universe 7's No. 18 too, then their "Duo 18" could be upgraded to a "Trio 18."

...That actually sounded kind of fun!

In the time that followed, Yuujin and the others didn't interact with the other universes anymore. Instead, they focused on adjusting their condition in their own camp.

This Tournament of Power really did gather the strongest of the strong. Besides Universe 7's Son Goku and Vegeta, many warriors from other universes also posed a significant threat to Yuujin and his team.

But overall, Yuujin's group still held a huge advantage. While top-tier fighters were rare in other universes, nearly all of Yuujin's team were at that level.

Yuujin and Gokumi didn't even need mentioning, and even the comparatively weaker members like Chi-Chi, No. 18, and Dark 18 would be considered ace-level in many universes.

Still, they didn't let down their guard. This was about the very survival of their universe—any carelessness could lead to irreversible consequences.

In the original Dragon Ball Super, Son Goku and the others used the Super Dragon Balls to revive all the erased universes. But Yuujin wasn't about to gamble that the same storyline would play out in this real world.

To be safe, the only option was to become the final victors themselves!

And amidst that tense atmosphere, finally, the last universe's participants were transmitted in—

"Grand Priest, Universe 11 is all here."

A sweet voice echoed through the air, and a dozen figures materialized on one side of the arena.

"This... this aura!"

"Whoa, some real monsters just showed up!"

Without concealing their power at all, Universe 11's arrival came with overwhelming presence, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

The fighters from Universe 11 were from their universe's famous Pride Troopers, defenders of justice. Each wore matching battle uniforms, and even Yuujin had to admit—many among them radiated a pressure that felt threatening even to him.

Especially the one standing in the front with an expressionless face—the grey Jiren!

His aura was completely on a different dimension from everyone else's. It was sheer, overwhelming invincibility!

"Yuujin, Yuujin! That universe's people are super strong!"

Gokumi's fighting spirit surged with excitement, while beside her, Sharuru licked her lips and wore a sadistic, dark grin:

"This Tournament of Power is absolutely amazing!"

"Ahhh, I can barely hold it in... I can't wait to cruelly torment them!"

Though the others were speechless at Sharuru exposing her usual nature, they also understood her feelings.

Universe 11 really was that powerful—it made the blood boil!

"Hmph. The other universes aren't anything special. The victors this time will definitely be us, Universe 11."

Feeling the wary glances all around, Universe 11's God of Destruction, Belmod, spoke with disdain.

"There are plenty of powerful warriors in the other universes too. Don't let your guard down, darling."

The twin-tailed female angel Marcarita reminded him sweetly.

But judging by her smile, it was clear she was also very confident in her own universe's team.

"Hey, it's you guys—Toppo!"

The shock caused by Universe 11's arrival gradually faded. Everyone still kept a cautious distance from them—except Son Goku, who couldn't read the room and cheerfully ran over to greet them.

Yuujin and the girls, meanwhile, retracted their gazes.

Universe 11 was strong, no doubt—but that didn't mean they were weak.

Who would live, who would die—it would all be decided in the real battle to come!

"Thank you for waiting. As of now, all universes' fighters have arrived."

The Grand Priest's voice rang out as he floated into the air, drawing everyone's attention.

"First, Universe 2."

"Next, Universe 3."

"Universe 4..."

"…"

"And finally, Universe 13!"

One by one, the Grand Priest called out the universes. Aside from Universes 1, 5, 8, and 12—who were exempt by Zeno—the other nine participating universes were now fully assembled.

No longer suppressing themselves, the warriors from every universe unleashed their energy. Powerful auras clashed and collided all across the arena—no one willing to give an inch.

The tension was thick. A massive battle was about to begin!
