Universe 7's spectator area.
"What the hell is this transformation now? And what's with this Dark Power? After this brat went on one space-time trip and came back, he mastered this power?!" Beerus was made somewhat incoherent by Lin Chuan's brand-new transformation.
Although the level of this transformation didn't seem too high, there was no doubt that it proved Lin Chuan's strength had become even stronger compared to last time.
Lin Chuan's explosive growth in strength was a good thing for Universe 7.
But seeing Lin Chuan become stronger again made him, a God of Destruction, feel extremely depressed and displeased.
This was the rhythm of surpassing him.
Fortunately, he had not wasted this past year either.
"Dark Power... I see. I understand now." Whis showed a smile on his face, understanding what Lin Chuan's current transformation was about.
"What do you mean?" Beerus glanced at Whis, wanting to hear Whis's thoughts.
"Dark Power belongs to a power opposite to Divine Power. Lin Chuan, who has cultivated Divine Power to the extreme, can transform into Super Saiyan God through Divine Power. Then, after cultivating Dark Power to a certain level, he can transform into a darkened Super Saiyan God. No, the title of God does not suit the current Lin Chuan. In this transformed state, he is a demon," Whis carefully explained to Beerus word by word.
After hearing Whis's explanation, Beerus also understood what was going on.
"A demon, huh? According to the way these Saiyans name things, this transformation should be called Super Saiyan Demon, right? Tsk, what a mouthful." Beerus clicked his tongue and said.
Immediately, he focused his attention and began seriously watching Lin Chuan's battle.
He wanted to see exactly how strong this so-called Super Saiyan Demon would be in battle.
Beside him, the East Supreme Kai and Old Supreme Kai remained silent.
But from their expressions and gazes, it could be seen that they were extremely shocked.
...
On the arena.
Cumber was intimidated by Lin Chuan's Super Saiyan Demon state and briefly fell into a daze.
This transformation was different from his own evil aura. It was not an Evil Saiyan, yet it surpassed an Evil Saiyan!
"Good!! This is the opponent I wanted!!" Cumber, who had come back to his senses, had surging fighting spirit in his eyes, and his evil energy rose sharply.
"Come." Lin Chuan hooked his index finger at Cumber and provoked him.
Seeing this, Cumber could no longer suppress his battle-hungry heart. After letting out a roar, two evil claws that blotted out the sky carried an incomparably sharp killing intent as they attacked Lin Chuan.
If it were an ordinary contestant, they would have been completely unable to resist.
"Petty trick." Lin Chuan was disdainful. With a thought, Dark Power pulsed and formed a slash that killed its way out.
'BOOM!!!' The energy slash and evil claws were detonated at the same time. Flames surged into the sky, and smoke rose everywhere.
This was not over. In just an instant, Cumber attacked forcefully. His huge body tore through the smoke of the explosion and rushed in front of Lin Chuan.
Fists and kicks capable of destroying heaven and earth were swung rapidly.
His attacks were so fast that they nearly sealed space, forming an airtight net.
Cumber, who was attacking with all his strength, had reached the peak in both speed and power. Looking across the entire arena, there were very few beings capable of contending with him.
However, the existence he was facing was Lin Chuan, who was countless times stronger than him.
"Do you only know how to dodge?!!" No matter how he attacked, he could not hit Lin Chuan, which made Cumber fly into a rage.
This was the first time he had ever felt so stifled.
"Fine. Since you asked, I won't play with you anymore." A wicked smile flashed across Lin Chuan's face.
In an instant, his counterattack began.
The extremely destructive Dark Power erupted under Lin Chuan's control. In an instant, an assault like a pear-blossom rainstorm poured down on Cumber.
In the first round, Cumber could still barely defend.
In the second round, his defense was completely broken.
In the third round, it directly became Lin Chuan's personal show.
Countless attacks came at Cumber from countless directions. In just a brief moment, his entire body was already covered in wounds.
If not for the sufficiently powerful defense of his Evil Super Saiyan 4 body, he would have already suffered heavy injuries and collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it!!!" Cumber roared unwillingly. He could only defend passively. This was not what he wanted to see.
Overcome with anger, he directly gave up defense and condensed all his evil energy into his fist, attacking Lin Chuan with full force.
This time, Lin Chuan did not dodge. Instead, he responded to Cumber head-on.
"Ultimate Hardening · Crushing Strike!" A special energy body flashed on Lin Chuan's fist and fused with Dark Power, bringing boundless destructive force as it collided with Cumber's evil heavy punch.
'BOOM!!!!!' With a loud explosion, the entire arena shook by three points at this moment.
In a burst of dazzling light, Cumber's body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through several rock pillars along the way. Only after being blasted to the edge of the arena by this force did Cumber barely stabilize his body.
"Impossible... My power... How could it be suppressed so completely by you!!" Cumber was unwilling to believe it, and even more unwilling to accept this cruel reality.
As an Evil Saiyan, he had his own pride. No matter how powerful the enemy he faced was, he had to win, no matter the price.
Standing up from the pile of rubble, Cumber's anger surged. Vast evil energy erupted from within his body. After being suppressed by Lin Chuan, the evil energy he erupted with exceeded its limits.
"After suffering a blow, you broke through your shackles and raised your battle power again? Looking at this momentum, you're planning to make a final gamble. Very well. Let's decide the outcome in one move." Lin Chuan saw through Cumber's thoughts. As his opponent, he gave Cumber enough respect. His right hand rose, and the Dark Power in his palm rapidly circulated, locking onto Cumber's position.
At this time, Cumber raised both hands high. Evil energy condensed into a massive dark-red energy ball, and its terrifying momentum made people shudder.
The giant evil energy ball Cumber condensed with everything he had possessed destructive power of at least a little over 50 googol. Among more than a hundred people here, the number of beings capable of blocking it could be counted on one hand.
"Die!!!" Cumber roared loudly. His hands suddenly threw forward, and that giant evil energy ball with a diameter of one hundred meters shot through the air, charging straight toward Lin Chuan.
At the same time, the Dark Power in Lin Chuan's right hand also compressed to the extreme.
A dark-black energy beam shot out in a straight line and collided head-on with Cumber's giant evil energy ball.
After a brief stalemate of three to five seconds, the dark energy beam pierced through Cumber's giant evil energy ball.
"What?!" With his sure-kill technique broken, Cumber's mind trembled violently, and his pupils shrank sharply.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
The pure Dark Power energy ray swallowed Cumber's body.
'BOOM~~!!!!' With a loud explosion, the area where Cumber was located was detonated by Dark Power. Flames rushed into the sky, and countless arena fragments drifted through the surrounding space.
After the thick smoke from the explosion dispersed, the heavily injured Cumber stood on a broken arena fragment.
He could no longer maintain Evil Super Saiyan 4. Kneeling on one knee, his aura dropped sharply, and he could not even stand.
He had already lost the ability to fight. There was no doubt that Lin Chuan had won this battle.
Having been able to fight Lin Chuan, Cumber's fighting spirit was also satisfied.
"The power of the strongest Saiyan... I have experienced it..." Cumber spoke his final words. The next second, darkness swept over and swallowed his consciousness.
Cumber, who had fallen unconscious, collapsed forward weakly.
At the same time, the arena beneath his feet also collapsed, and Cumber fell powerlessly toward the abyss of the World of Void.
Just as he was about to fall into the abyss, Cumber was teleported to Universe 1's spectator area by a mysterious power.
Cumber's elimination made the other contestants on the arena feel fear toward Lin Chuan's strength.
At the same time, some overconfident fools also set their sights on Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan's threat was simply too great. He had to be eliminated first, even if it meant joining forces with contestants from other universes.
This was also the strategy many universes' gods had discussed.
The one most affected was undoubtedly Haze.
He knew that Cumber's strength was far inferior to Lin Chuan's, but he had not expected him to be eliminated so quickly. The energy of the Universe Seed had only been stored halfway.
"This exceeded my expectations. I was too arrogant." Haze's expression was grave as he pondered his next strategy.
...
In Universe 1's spectator area.
"It seems we still underestimated that Saiyan from Universe 7. He is far stronger than we imagined. He eliminated our contestant so easily," Angel Awamo muttered to himself.
"Something within expectations." God of Destruction Iwne showed no emotional fluctuation and had long guessed that Cumber would lose.
No! It could be said that from the very beginning, he had never placed his hopes on Haze and Cumber.
Compared to suspicious people with unknown origins and their own conspiracies, he trusted the contestants of his own universe more.
Among the twelve Gods of Destruction, the hairy monster Iwne might not be the strongest, but he was certainly the calmest and most unpredictable one.
"I wonder which universe will be the first to be eliminated?" After Angel Awamo finished speaking, he waved the scepter in his hand, and invisible Angel Power healed all the injuries on Cumber's body.
After his injuries were healed, Cumber did not wake up. Angel Awamo had only healed the injuries on his physical body, not the wounds to his origin.
No one knew what his intention was in doing this.
A portion of Lin Chuan's pure Dark Power had remained within Cumber's body. It resonated with the evil energy in his body and was slowly merging with it bit by bit.
Although Cumber had failed this time, he had also gained a blessing in disguise and obtained a portion of Lin Chuan's Dark Power.
Perhaps in the near future, he could use this Dark Power to transform into an even stronger Evil Saiyan.
...
On the arena.
After dealing with Cumber, Lin Chuan quickly locked onto Haze's position. With a thought, he used the Law of Space and descended directly in front of Haze.
Looking at Lin Chuan, who had suddenly appeared, Haze remained calm on the surface, but in truth, his heart was panicking like crazy.
In terms of pure combat ability, he was inferior to Cumber. Now that Cumber had been instantly defeated, the result would be the same if he went up.
Unless the Universe Seed was fully charged, only then would he have the strength to fight.
"As expected of the partner I set my sights on. Even Cumber was taken care of by you so easily," Haze forced himself to remain calm and said.
"Are you done with your nonsense? It's your turn." Lin Chuan condensed Dark Power in his right hand, raised it, and fired an energy wave at Haze.
"I'm not like Cumber. I won't be eliminated by you so easily." Haze's eyes focused, and purple-gold aura erupted around him. He transformed into Super Hearts, his battle power receiving a hundredfold increase and initially stepping into the Tenth Dimension.
"Super Gravity Bomb!!!!" Super Hearts raised his hand and fired a purple gravity cube to meet Lin Chuan's energy wave.
The two energies collided, causing a violent explosion and stirring up thick smoke.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan waved one hand, and a powerful aura storm tore apart the smoke.
At this moment, Haze had already disappeared without a trace.
"Your strength isn't that great, but your ability to escape is first-rate." Lin Chuan disdained chasing after Haze. Having mastered the Law of Space, he could appear anywhere on the arena as he pleased.
As long as he wanted, he could appear in front of the other party with a single thought, but there was no need.
If he escaped, then he escaped. He was someone who would be eliminated sooner or later. There was no rush for this moment. Lin Chuan would see what he planned to do.
"Do you also want to come play with me?" Lin Chuan's gaze swept across the surroundings. Behind the massive rubble around him, contestants from various universes were hidden.
They were waiting in secret, searching for an opportunity to eliminate Lin Chuan.
After being discovered, they immediately chose to retreat and hurriedly fled this area, afraid that they would be the next ones Lin Chuan eliminated.
"A group of cowards as timid as mice. And these are the strongest chosen from their universes." Lin Chuan was disdainful. After releasing his Super Saiyan Demon transformation, he leaped onto a protruding rock pillar over ten meters high and looked over the situation in each battle zone.
"Oh? Has that guy Kakarot faced off against the people of Universe 12?" Lin Chuan's gaze was drawn to the most intense battle zone in the distance.
At this moment, Son Goku was doing something quite astonishing.
With his own strength, he was challenging everyone from Universe 12 alone!
...
Son Goku's battle zone.
Universe 12's Bujin, Kogu, Bido, and Zangya formed an encirclement around Son Goku, joining forces to pressure him.
The remaining Kuri, Das, and Eric used their ability to fly to continuously release energy blasts from midair, applying pressure to Son Goku.
As for the remaining Bojack, Hatchiyack, and Metal Cooler, they were still observing the battle.
These seven warriors were all existences at the mid-to-late Eighth Dimension. Even the weakest among them possessed battle power at the quadrillion level.
However, facing the rotating attacks of the seven of them, the powerful Son Goku moved as if entering an uninhabited land. Against seven enemies alone, he handled them with ease.
The present was different from the past. He was no longer the same person whose base form had only been at the Seventh Dimension.
The current Son Goku had undergone countless temperings, and his base battle power had long broken through the Eighth Dimension, reaching a terrifying 1000 quadrillion.
Against the seven members of Universe 12, under the transformed state of Super Saiyan Full Power, Son Goku's battle power value broke through to the Ninth Dimension, reaching a full 8 duodecillion!
The Ninth Dimension fighting the Eighth Dimension was a complete dimensional suppression.
