"I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, Jiren."
Just at this moment, Toppo could no longer stand it and reprimanded Jiren.
These words left everyone with surprised expressions, their gazes involuntarily shifting toward Toppo.
He was actually reprimanding Jiren.
Faced with Toppo's reprimand, Jiren remained unmoved. In his view, a loss was a loss, and a loser should bear the punishment that a loser deserved.
Seeing that Jiren remained unmoved, Toppo unwillingly clenched his fists, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.
"So what if you lost? Just win it back next time. I don't know what other people think, but in my view, you won't fail so easily. If this blow causes you to become completely dispirited, then you will be too disappointing, Jiren." Toppo's voice deeply touched Jiren's heart and soul.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Jiren's face as he looked at Toppo with a puzzled gaze.
He did not understand why Toppo believed in him so much. He had clearly already lost, and from the very beginning, he had looked down on all of them.
Why… would someone as lonely as him receive something like trust?
"Enough. Since your battle is over, get some good rest. Next, just watch this God of Destruction perform." God of Destruction Belmod's lips curled upward, revealing a strange smile.
After calming everyone's emotions, Belmod leaped up from the spectator area onto a huge Super Katchin fragment.
At this point, all eleven Gods of Destruction had entered the arena!
"After such a long battle of elimination, the Gods of Destruction from eleven universes have all entered the arena. How will you face them next?" The Grand Priest's voice was filled with majesty.
"The Gods of Destruction have all descended. Can Lin Chuan win next? I'm so nervous, and so excited." Zeno danced around excitedly and cheered.
The two Zeno Guards on either side of Zeno also became attentive at this moment.
This Saiyan Lin Chuan was extraordinary, but how would he respond when surrounded by eleven Gods of Destruction?
Would he be eliminated, after which God of Destruction Beerus would enter the battle, or would he defeat eleven Gods of Destruction alone and create a new undefeated legend?
...
On the battered arena fragments.
The four Gods of Destruction led by God of Destruction Quitela, God of Destruction Iwan, God of Destruction Arak, and God of Destruction Geene locked onto Lin Chuan, while the remaining seven Gods of Destruction also stood on their respective arena fragments, surrounding Lin Chuan.
The atmosphere became incomparably tense. The Gods of Destruction knew full well how powerful Lin Chuan was. They could no longer defeat him through individual combat and had to join forces to deal with him.
However, the Gods of Destruction were originally opposed to one another. Lin Chuan was not their only enemy; everyone present was an enemy. If they were eliminated, their universes would also be finished. Thus, forming an alliance was not something that could be accomplished so easily.
"I say, everyone, how about we put aside our respective grudges for now and eliminate this Saiyan? After all, this was what we agreed upon at the beginning. He is a huge threat to all of us Gods of Destruction. Once we eliminate him, we can have a fair battle among ourselves. How about it?" God of Destruction Quitela proposed.
But there was a conspiratorial flavor in his words. Who knew whether this cunning rat would change his mind halfway through and suddenly betray them, knocking them off the arena?
"Who would want to cooperate with a dead rat like you?" God of Destruction Champa was the first to make his position clear.
Not to mention that his relationship with Lin Chuan was fairly good, Quitela, that yellow-skinned rat, had absolutely no morals and could not be trusted at all.
Besides, cats and rats could never cooperate with each other.
"You can discuss cooperation among yourselves. This God will not do something so opportunistic. The champion of this Tournament of Power will be obtained by this God through his own strength." God of Destruction Liquiir put his hands behind his back and spoke with utmost arrogance.
Doing this could also be considered repaying the favor he previously owed Lin Chuan.
"Looks like two fellow Gods have no interest in my invitation to cooperate, but that doesn't matter. What about the rest of you?" Quitela revealed a sinister smile, sweeping his gaze over the remaining Gods of Destruction as a strange 'Hehehehe' laugh escaped his mouth.
Those Gods of Destruction who lacked confidence in their own strength did not express their positions. After all, no one wanted to be the one to step forward first, and even less did anyone want to be the one to pave the way for others.
"This God does not intend to cooperate with you. Rather, I have some grievances to settle with him." God of Destruction Arak of the Fifth Universe was the first to state his position, his burning gaze fixed on Lin Chuan.
He still remembered the torment Lin Chuan had inflicted upon him earlier.
"I do want to test how powerful this so-called strongest Saiyan really is, but don't think that means I'll cooperate with you, Quitela." God of Destruction Iwan of the First Universe also stated his position. He would also fight Lin Chuan.
"Although doing this is rather dishonorable, I will also take action." God of Destruction Heles of the Second Universe stated her position.
"Beep beep beep!!" God of Destruction Mosco of the Third Universe also joined this battle to eliminate Lin Chuan.
Next, God of Destruction Rumsshi and God of Destruction Belmod also stated their positions. They would also join the alliance to surround and attack Lin Chuan.
An alliance formed by seven Gods of Destruction was not to be underestimated.
Champa and Liquiir remained neutral and would not assist either side.
God of Destruction Geene and God of Destruction Sidra were still observing. They would not act easily. After all, this battle concerned the survival of their universes. This was a life-and-death battle.
"Then, the cooperation is established!" Quitela smiled sinisterly.
Suddenly, overwhelming God of Destruction Power erupted from within him, and the heavy divine pressure of a God of Destruction descended upon Lin Chuan.
Following his first move, Heles, Mosco, Rumsshi, Belmod, Iwan, and Arak successively took action.
The divine pressure of seven Gods of Destruction merged together, causing their might to increase explosively to the extreme. It transformed into a divine power storm that swept across the Null Realm, causing the entire Null Realm to shake violently.
The participants from the twelve universes in the spectator areas were all affected by this earth-shaking God of Destruction Power storm. Even the slightest ripple made them feel deep fear and overwhelming helplessness.
The Gods of Destruction were far stronger and more terrifying than they had imagined.
The mere aftermath made them feel fear from the depths of their souls. It was difficult to imagine what kind of pressure Lin Chuan, who was at the center of the storm, was experiencing.
Everyone stared intently at Lin Chuan.
"You Gods of Destruction sure are long-winded. You have to discuss and negotiate for half a day just to fight. My ears are practically callused from listening to you. And this level of pressure is no different from a gentle breeze." Lin Chuan finished speaking nonchalantly, a sharp glint flashing deep within his eyes.
The next second, an unparalleled divine pressure expanded outward from him, instantly crushing the divine pressure released by the seven Gods of Destruction.
