Boom!!!

From within the blazing inferno, Son Goku and Toppo, leader of Universe 11's Pride Troopers, shot out violently.

"Hahaha! Toppo, it's just too fun fighting you!"

"Son Goku, you're too annoying!"

"Justice Flash!!!"

Son Goku laughed heartily, while Toppo was extremely irritated, locking onto Goku and unleashing hundreds of ki blasts in a barrage.

As a hot-blooded warrior of justice, Toppo had always hated evil. Naturally, he despised Son Goku, who had triggered the Tournament of Power and brought their universe to the brink of destruction.

The two had already crossed fists in a skirmish two days ago. Even Toppo had to admit this guy was strong. According to their original strategy, an opponent like Son Goku was to be dealt with later. But soon after the match began, Goku had come straight for him and forced him into battle, leaving Toppo endlessly frustrated.

"Justice Fist!!!"

Their bodies flickered through the air. In just a few breaths, the two had already clashed hundreds of times midair. Then, both launched a heavy punch at each other again.

With a thunderous bang, a massive fireball erupted in the sky. Goku and Toppo both were blasted backward, landing on the ground.

"Chi-Chi, they're amazing!"

"Indeed. Universe 7 and Universe 11 are both formidable opponents."

Just as the two were about to resume their battle, two voices suddenly rang out from nearby. Goku turned to look and saw Chi-Chi and Gokumi standing on a high ledge not far away, watching their fight.

"Oh, it's you two—Chi-Chi and me from Universe 13!"

Goku's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand, waving to Gokumi and Chi-Chi in greeting.

"I'm not you! You're a guy, and I'm a girl!"

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry."

Gokumi puffed up her cheeks in frustration, while Goku scratched his head and laughed sheepishly.

"Ah, Toppo's running away!"

"Son Goku, our fight is not meant for now."

"Women of Universe 13, I'll leave that annoying guy to you!"

Ignoring Goku's exclamation, Toppo vanished into the distance like the wind.

He had long wanted to return to his teammates but had been entangled by Goku. Now that someone else had shown up to take over, he seized the chance to retreat immediately.

"Well, whatever."

"Chi-Chi of Universe 13, Gokumi, how about you two fight me instead?"

Realizing he had been brushed off by Toppo, Goku didn't mind. Instead, his fighting spirit flared as he stared eagerly at Chi-Chi and Gokumi.

"Sure, sure! But are you going to take on both me and Chi-Chi at once?"

Gokumi also wanted to fight Goku, but she still asked kindly for confirmation.

She could sense that Goku was strong, but teaming up with Chi-Chi against him seemed a bit unfair.

"Yeah, come at me together."

"Don't be fooled by how I look. I actually have a bit of confidence in my strength."

Goku took a fighting stance and smiled.

Since he had said it himself, Gokumi and Chi-Chi didn't say any more. They leapt down in unison, landing in front of Goku and also took their stances.

Seeing the two adopt fighting poses nearly identical to his own, Goku's interest in them grew even more:

"You're both Turtle School disciples too, huh?"

"That's right, that's right! Both of us—and Yuujin too—trained under Master Roshi for a long time."

"I'm really looking forward to this now. Let's see how the Turtle School of two universes matches up!"

They could feel each other's blazing fighting spirit like fire. As their eyes locked, sparks flew, and both sides erupted with their auras at the same time, crashing toward each other.

"Hrahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Though the fight started as a probing exchange, the sheer strength of all three made the battle incredibly intense.

Fists and kicks collided, bodies flickered in rapid movement, and the surrounding space erupted into thunderous blasts.

"Amazing! So amazing!"

"My other universe's self—and Chi-Chi too!"

As they continued to fight fiercely, Goku's whole body trembled with excitement.

He could understand himself being strong in another universe, but to think even Chi-Chi could be this powerful!

No—it seemed their strength far exceeded his imagination.

At first, Goku could handle Gokumi and Chi-Chi's attacks at the same time, but as the fight dragged on, their strikes grew faster and more ferocious. Even he was starting to feel overwhelmed!

"There's an opening!!!"

Seizing a gap in Goku's defense, Chi-Chi slammed a kick into his abdomen. With a pained cry, Goku flew into the air—only to be elbowed back down by Gokumi, who had instantly appeared above him.

Boom! The arena floor—made of reinforced lightning steel—was smashed into a massive crater by Goku's impact.

"Ow, ow, ow…"

A normal person would've been killed by such attacks, but Goku's body was incredibly tough. He soon crawled out of the pit, clutching his shoulder and stomach in pain.

"Goku, what the hell are you doing? You can't even handle two women?!"

"Use your real power! Beat them! Beat them!"

Watching Goku get beaten by Gokumi and Chi-Chi, Beerus on the spectator stand was fuming, wishing he could jump down and give that idiot a good beating.

"Lord Beerus, they really are strong…"

"Lord Beerus, stop yelling already! You're distracting my fight," Goku complained, causing Beerus to become even more furious:

"Me—me, distracting your fight?!"

"Hohoho, Lord Beerus, you should relax a little. Let Goku-san handle what happens on the arena."

"Indeed. At this point, we have no choice but to trust Goku."

Whis chuckled, staff in hand, and even the Elder Kai added his agreement.

"That idiot—if he loses, I'll never forgive him!"

Realizing he'd been too agitated, Beerus sat back in his seat, still grumpy.

But then, he glanced resentfully at Whis and muttered:

"Whis, you really have it easy. Even if Universe 7 gets erased, nothing happens to you."

"Well, well, I am an Angel after all. Not the same as you, Lord Beerus—hohohohoho…"

Watching Whis's smug, infuriating grin, Beerus clenched his fists, sorely tempted to pummel him.

But in the end, he restrained himself. Whis was stronger than him. If he dared to make a move, he might be the one getting beaten!
