"Goku really is an idiot. That guy looks so much like Frieza—of course his personality would be similar. How could he trust him so easily?"
On Universe 7's side, Krillin shook his head, sighing as he lightly smacked his bald head, clearly exasperated by Goku's carelessness.
"So… is it over already? That was too easy. That Saiyan from Universe 7 may be strong, but he clearly has his limits."
On Universe 6's side, someone laughed dismissively.
As for Universe 7—
Vegeta remained silent, staring coldly at the arena. If Goku lost this easily, then he wasn't even worthy of being called Vegeta's rival.
"Hey… you really are just like Frieza."
At that moment, Goku—who had been lying on the ground—suddenly spoke.
At the same time, he transformed back into Super Saiyan Blue.
"Hmph. That's all you've got."
Frost glanced at him indifferently, completely uninterested. "If you step off the stage now, you might still avoid unnecessary pain."
"No need. You're strong… but you're seriously looking down on me."
Goku smiled and shook his head, then his expression turned serious.
Whoosh!
Frost responded with a casual flick of his finger, firing a beam straight at Goku.
Bang!
Goku slapped it aside effortlessly.
Then—
He vanished.
In an instant, he appeared right in front of Frost and threw a punch.
Thud!
Frost collapsed instantly.
One hit.
Instant defeat.
Silence.
"What?! F-Frost lost just like that?!"
"That Saiyan… how strong is he?!"
"My god! Frost is one of the top fighters in Universe 6, and he was taken down so easily?!"
This overwhelming display left Universe 6's spectators completely stunned.
"Saiyans… can really reach this level?"
Cabba stared at Goku, his face filled with shock.
For the first time—
He saw hope.
"I have to learn Super Saiyan!"
His expression turned firm. Only by becoming stronger could he change the fate of his race.
"That guy… must be the strongest in Universe 7, right?"
Botamo, now defeated, spoke up.
"Probably. I didn't expect their strongest to come out first."
Another added.
"The strongest?"
Champa let out a cold laugh.
"I'll tell you this—the strongest in Universe 7 hasn't even stepped onto the stage yet. Just like our strongest hasn't."
Hearing this, everyone from Universe 6 turned their gaze toward Universe 7's side.
Krillin.
Tien.
Piccolo.
Vegeta.
Zeru.
Their eyes swept across each of them, brows gradually furrowing.
They couldn't tell—
Who the strongest really was.
"Second match: Universe 7 wins!"
Whis and Vados announced.
"If we lose the third match… I'll kill you all."
Champa's voice was cold as he glanced at his fighters.
Everyone swallowed nervously.
At that moment—
Hit stood up.
Calm. Silent.
He slowly floated onto the arena.
"Ah…"
Seeing this, Champa's lips curled slightly into a smile.
Though he had already lost two rounds, his confidence returned.
"Beerus… just wait. My ace from Universe 6 is not someone your fighters can handle. Even Zeru will fall before Hit!"
He shot a sideways glance at Beerus, silently sneering.
On the arena—
Goku's attention immediately shifted to Hit.
"Oh wow… this guy is strong."
Even though Hit's aura was perfectly concealed, the sharpness of his presence was unmistakable.
"Hm? His name is Hit?"
Beerus raised an eyebrow, thinking.
"Have I heard that name before? Who is he?"
"Lord Beerus, he's known as the strongest assassin in Universe 6," Whis explained. "He has never failed a mission. They call him the 'Never-Miss Hit.'"
"Oh? Sounds like a worthy opponent."
Beerus smirked. "As a spectator, I'd love to see an exciting fight. But honestly… why not just send Zeru out and end this with a clean sweep? It'd drive Champa crazy."
"No need for that."
Zeru coughed lightly.
"Hahaha, just joking. Let the third match begin!"
Beerus waved it off casually.
"Haah!"
With a shout, Goku powered up again into Super Saiyan Blue.
Hit, however—
Simply took a stance.
A very simple one.
Yet—
Goku frowned.
Because no matter how he looked at it—
There were no openings.
No flaws.
No obvious way to attack.
For the first time—
Goku felt uncertain.
He had never faced an opponent like this.
