Chapter 278: The Final Decisive Battle!
"Frieza…"
Mu Chuan watched Frieza's performance. Though he had some speculations in mind, witnessing the scene before him still stirred many emotions within him.
Frieza had changed…
Whether for better or worse was unclear, but he was undeniably different from before.
Of course…
Mu Chuan merely sighed at this realization. His expression grew serious as he fixed his gaze forward. He did not believe that Jiren would be defeated so easily in one go.
That guy was incredibly strong!
As Mu Chuan expected, when the light gradually dissipated, two figures appeared before their eyes.
However, both were in an extremely battered state…
Yet, their conditions were distinguishable at a glance.
Though Jiren appeared disheveled, his figure remained upright, one hand holding an utterly limp Frieza.
In that instant, it was clear who was stronger.
At this moment, Frieza was completely drained of energy. After all, in the previous instant, he had unleashed every ounce of his power. Were they not in the Null Realm, such a release of energy at the center of any universe could have caused a catastrophic explosion.
"So, he still lost in the end…"
Though Mu Chuan had anticipated this outcome, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment as he witnessed it unfold.
But Frieza had done his best!
The spectators erupted into a cacophony of noise.
None of them had expected such a result. The terrifying power Frieza unleashed earlier had been overwhelming. If that level of power had been utilized at the start of the Tournament of Power, most universes might have been obliterated entirely.
Yet, despite such a fearsome attack…
Jiren had endured it head-on.
Just the thought of it sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"Too strong… That guy is just too strong."
"To emerge almost unscathed against Frieza's terrifying self-destruction, suffering only minor injuries… Is he a monster?"
"Unbelievable! How could such an existence even be possible?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one could have imagined there was such a terrifying being. Even the power Frieza unleashed earlier had left them trembling with fear.
But now…
Even such a monstrous force failed to bring down the opponent.
Could anyone possibly rival such an existence?
A sense of despair began to seep through the crowd.
The warriors from Universe 11 collectively exhaled in relief. Even they had felt the danger earlier, a testament to how terrifying that energy had been.
But fortunately, it was all over now!
"Looks like Jiren has won!"
"That guy may have been despicable, but for him to unleash such overwhelming power, it's clear he had some skill."
"His strength was indeed formidable!"
"But against Jiren, he ultimately stood no chance!"
The warriors of Universe 11 relaxed completely upon witnessing the outcome. As long as Jiren was unharmed, their chances of victory remained high.
They all sat back down simultaneously.
On the arena, Jiren looked at the powerless Frieza in his grasp. He wasn't angry but rather impressed, acknowledging the formidable strength of his opponent.
Even Jiren had to take him seriously!
Had he not unleashed his full power in time to resist, he might have been the one in trouble.
"You are a truly strong fighter, but unfortunately… I am stronger!"
Jiren flung Frieza out of the ring!
The next moment.
Frieza reappeared in the spectator stands.
This marked his official elimination.
Even Golden Frieza stood no chance against the terrifying might of Jiren!
Jiren turned to face Mu Chuan, stretching his muscles. The cracking sounds echoed as he spoke.
"It's our turn now…"
"Now that all the nuisances have been eliminated, it's just the two of us left on the arena. Who will claim the ultimate victory?"
"Show me your full strength…"
"In this final decisive battle, I want to see the most powerful you. I know your power is far greater than what you've shown so far, as I can sense an immense force within you."
"Unleash it upon me!!"
As Jiren approached, he spoke, his power surging rapidly.
In an instant, his energy skyrocketed to terrifying levels, surging straight into the heavens.
From the spectator stands.
Everyone heard Jiren's words, especially those from Universe 11. They were all stunned when they realized what he meant.
That guy…
He had hidden power?
"What's going on? Does that guy possess boundless strength? Why is he still hiding power even at this stage?"
"Is he some sort of monster?"
"Impossible! No matter how much power he hides, he can't compare to Jiren. Jiren is as strong as a God of Destruction!"
The Pride Troopers were shocked.
Hearing Jiren speak of hidden power had caught them off guard. After all, the oppressive strength Mu Chuan displayed from the start had been overwhelming.
Even Frieza was no match!
This alone showed how intimidating he was!
But even so…
He still hadn't revealed his full power?
That was simply absurd!!
"Things are getting more interesting…" The Grand Priest murmured to himself, his interest suddenly piqued. Even he hadn't expected the Tournament of Power to become so enthralling.
Not to mention the Grand Priest, even Zeno was jumping on the chair, indicating just how thrilling this battle was.
Earlier, Beerus had been tense, but now, a rare smile appeared on his face. No one understood Mu Chuan's strength better than him.
This was a power developed under his guidance!
"Mu Chuan, go ahead… Unleash your true strength and let everyone witness your greatness!"
As if to confirm Beerus's words.
The aura around Mu Chuan began to intensify. His hair gradually shortened, and the purple aura enveloping him grew denser. Violet lightning crackled ferociously.
His eyes turned purple, with a streak of lightning flashing through his pupils. This transformation sent chills down the spines of those watching!
It was as if an immense terror emanated from him!
In mere moments, Mu Chuan completed his transformation effortlessly. He had already mastered this form, making the transformation seamless.
