Chapter 272: Toppo's Power of Destruction!
K'nsi's voice echoed across the arena.
As if it triggered a chemical reaction, all the members of the Pride Troopers looked serious, instantly unleashing their most powerful abilities.
A terrifying aura spread through the air!
The power within Toppo surged to its peak.
As the captain of the Pride Troopers, the honor of his team could not be tarnished in his hands!
"If you dare challenge the Pride Troopers, then let me show you what true power is!!"
In an instant, Toppo was enveloped in a purple-red aura, and his eyes turned crimson.
Seeing Toppo's transformation, Karl's expression changed dramatically. He had initially thought that with all of them transforming into Super Saiyan 4, their chances of victory would significantly increase.
But who would have thought...
This guy's strength had increased even further!
Axianna remarked, "This aura... it's somewhat similar to the boss's power, but it's not quite the same!"
"Could this also be the Power of Destruction?"
"I'm a candidate for God of Destruction. Don't underestimate me!!"
Toppo clashed his fists together, and a terrifying destructive force emanated from them. The sheer magnitude of this power was overwhelming, its presence crystal clear to all.
Everyone wore a grave expression.
Four Super Saiyan 4s, one Absolute Defense warrior, Olipod, and one Ultra Instinct Son Goku—six people surrounded Toppo.
"Olipod, you handle Toppo. Use your defensive rebound to hold him back. We'll deal with the others as quickly as possible!"
Olipod nodded. At this moment, his heart was filled with tension. After all, facing such a terrifying opponent, anyone would be nervous.
But for the sake of Universe 7...
No matter how difficult it is, they had to try.
Moreover, as long as the others could quickly eliminate the Pride Troopers' members, there would still be a sliver of hope!
The battle erupted in an instant!
Olipod charged forward first, using his defensive rebound ability to directly confront Toppo!
Every time Toppo unleashed his destructive force, Olipod unhesitatingly blocked it. The first time, he barely managed, but by the second, even Olipod was sent flying. However, Toppo wasn't in great shape either.
"What?!"
"My Power of Destruction was actually rebounded? What kind of ability is this?"
Toppo's face was full of shock. He was a candidate for God of Destruction, mastering the Power of Destruction, which only gods could control. Yet, it could still be rebounded?
What kind of being is this guy?
From the spectators' seats...
All the Gods of Destruction stood up simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief. Then, they all turned to look at Beerus.
"What the hell have you done? Why can he even reflect the Power of Destruction?"
"You wouldn't understand," Beerus replied smugly. "It's his natural talent!"
"As long as the attack is within his endurance range, he can reflect it. To break through his defense, you'd need absolute power to overwhelm it!"
Beerus didn't hold back this time. After all, even if he didn't explain, repeated tests would reveal the truth eventually.
After hearing Beerus' words, everyone fell into contemplation. If this was the case, then the talent wasn't too surprising. If the user wasn't strong enough, they couldn't reflect stronger forces, meaning it all came down to individual strength.
The Clown God of Destruction had been somewhat worried, but after hearing Beerus' explanation, he relaxed completely. After all, Toppo wouldn't disappoint.
Sure enough…
On the arena, after two exchanges, Toppo was already prepared. In his opinion, there was no such thing as absolute defense. No matter how strong the defense, it could always be pierced by a sharp enough spear.
Toppo thrust his palms forward, and terrifying crimson energy gathered within them.
"Destruction!!"
A dazzling beam of light shot out, directly targeting Olipod.
With a deafening roar, the ground was scarred with deep marks.
Olipod was sent flying on the spot.
At this moment, Toppo pressed his advantage, intending to throw Olipod out of the arena entirely. After all, while Olipod's defense was remarkable, it was far less effective against the Pride Troopers' other members.
But just as Toppo was about to strike, a figure enveloped in a white aura appeared and kicked him away!
It was Son Goku!!
Having defeated Kate, Son Goku rushed to Olipod's aid.
At this point, more than 60% of his hair had turned white, and even his pupils were glowing with a faint white light. His aura wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, but his entire demeanor exuded a sense of natural perfection.
All the Gods of Destruction and angels were stunned.
What was going on with Universe 7?
So many monsters!
Mu Chuan couldn't help but sigh. With Jiren as a benchmark, he was already considered the ultimate boss. Now, Universe 7 had an Absolute Defense Olipod, and even someone who had mastered Ultra Instinct.
How were these guys increasing their strength so quickly, as if it were as easy as eating or drinking water?
The Clown God of Destruction's face grew increasingly grim as he watched the Pride Troopers' members being thrown out one by one. Now, only two were left.
Toppo and Jiren!
And these two were undoubtedly the strongest.
However, based on the current situation, Universe 7's chances of winning seemed much higher!
Up until now, they hadn't lost a single member!
"Damn it! Where did Beerus find these guys? They're so powerful, and each has their own unique talents."
"Is this... our defeat?"
The Clown God of Destruction glanced at the arena. It wasn't surprising he felt this way. The Pride Troopers' coordinated combat had already been disrupted.
On top of that, Jiren, their ace, was now being pinned down. It was clear that their cards had been revealed, while Universe 7 had yet to suffer any losses.
How could they win?
Although there were still participants from Universe 6 on the stage, they were also being suppressed by Frieza, with no room for resistance!
The battle seemed to be one-sided!
The Grand Zeno was jumping in his seat, clapping and cheering in excitement. This Tournament of Power was incredibly thrilling, with each fighter showcasing unique powers and talents.
It was a spectacle to behold.
Especially now, with every fighter on the stage engaging in intense, close-combat battles.
Seeing Grand Zeno's satisfaction, the Grand Priest nodded in approval. Even though many universes had already been destroyed, as long as Grand Zeno was pleased, nothing else mattered.
As everyone reflected on this, an unexpected turn occurred on the arena!
