Watching the small planetoid plummet toward them, Son Goku and the others immediately began charging their ki. This included Caulifla and the warriors of Universe 6, who had just regained consciousness; they clearly intended to destroy the rock together.
Suddenly, Vegito (Turles) flickered to the front of the group. He raised a hand and flicked a small purple energy sphere toward the sky. In an instant, the falling planetoid dissolved into a purple light and vanished.
Vegeta and the others breathed a sigh of relief. "Vegito, was that Hakai? And why didn't you stop him earlier? Don't tell me you weren't capable of it."
Vegito (Turles) shook his head. "Stopping him would have been easy. But what about his accomplices? If he dies and his partners go into hiding, what then? It's better to wipe them all out during the final showdown, don't you think?"
Vegeta blinked, then fell silent.
"Are we heading to Universe 11 now?"
Fuwa, the Universe 6 Supreme Kai, popped up again. "Um, I can take you to Universe 11. But you're all injured. Is that really wise?"
Vegito (Turles) pulled out a small pouch and tossed it to Goku. "You should recognize these. Eat up, then we go to Universe 11!"
Goku caught the bag and opened it. They were indeed Senzu Beans. "I didn't know you had so many Senzu Beans, Vegito. You've really saved us this time."
After Goku distributed the beans, everyone's strength was instantly restored.
Vegito (Turles) looked at the Supreme Kai. "Let's go. To Universe 11."
Fuwa nodded and wrapped everyone in his divine ki, vanishing instantly.
Swish!
The group reappeared in Universe 11. Fuwa vanished the moment they arrived. One had to admit, the Universe 6 Kai was incredibly slippery. His Instant Transmission skills were truly top-tier.
Much like Universe 6, the planet in Universe 11 was in ruins, covered in the scars of battle. Every member of the Pride Troopers, except for Jiren, lay unconscious on the ground.
Standing before Jiren was none other than the Evil Saiyan, Cumber!
"The strongest of Universe 11?" Cumber stared at Jiren with burning eyes. "I hope you can give me some excitement!"
Jiren looked at Cumber coldly. "We'll see if you have the ability."
"Haaa!!——"
Cumber roared. A black-and-red aura erupted, and the terrifying pressure immediately put Goku and Vegeta on high alert.
"What? How is Cumber here? Shouldn't he be dead?"
Vegito (Turles) curled his lip. "He was saved. It must have been Hearts' doing. He likely has a connection with Fu as well."
"That ki belongs to Jiren. It looks like he and Cumber are already fighting!"
"Hah!!"
Enveloped in his black-and-red aura, Cumber moved like a bolt of dark lightning toward Jiren. He swung a fist the size of a sandbag directly at Jiren's face.
Jiren didn't back down. He threw a punch of his own.
Boom!
The terrifying collision caused the ground to sink, creating a massive crater. Endless smoke billowed upward as the wind spiraled. It felt like the end of the world.
Zip! Zip! Zip! Zip! Zip!——Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!——
After the initial clash, the two engaged in a frantic brawl. Countless red and black afterimages flickered through the sky. Every collision released a devastating wave of power.
Bang!
As their fists met again, Cumber grinned. "Hahaha! As expected of Universe 11's trump card. Your strength is not to be underestimated. But I am the strongest!!"
"Haaa!!"
Cumber yelled as his black-and-red aura flared. A golden flash followed as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Whirr! Whirr!
Golden and black auras spiraled together. The immense pressure caused Jiren to narrow his eyes. What kind of race are these Saiyans? The pressure Cumber was exerting now rivaled, and perhaps even surpassed, the Ultra Instinct Goku he had faced in the Tournament of Power.
"Tch, this monster is even stronger than when we first met!" Vegeta muttered, his voice laced with frustration.
"Yeah," Goku added, his expression grim. Having been possessed by Oren, his personality had shifted slightly back toward his more serious, Cell Saga-era demeanor. "Cumber is way stronger now. I wonder if Jiren can handle him."
"It's starting!" Trunks blurted out.
In the next instant, Cumber moved as if he had used Instant Transmission, appearing directly in front of Jiren. Before Jiren could react, a heavy fist slammed into his face.
Bang!
The impact was deafening. Jiren was sent hurtling backward by the heavy blow, crashing into the ground. The force was so immense it seemed like it might strike through to the planet's core.
Billowing smoke rose from a bottomless crater. Suddenly, a crimson energy sphere shot out from the hole, aimed at Cumber in the sky.
Cumber snorted and swatted the energy ball aside with the back of his hand.
Jiren flew out of the crater, his uniform tattered and a trail of blood leaking from his lip. Clearly, that last punch from Cumber had left a mark.
"You are strong," Jiren said, looking at Cumber seriously. He clenched his fists, and a crimson aura once again enveloped his body. His skyrocketing power made Cumber even more excited.
"Hahahaha! Come and fight!"
The two figures blurred as they lunged at each other once more. Their fists collided again.
Boom!
The surrounding air exploded. Space itself trembled as concentric shockwaves rippled outward in all directions. Jiren snorted and swung his other fist at Cumber.
Cumber met it with his own. The sound of their fists clashing rang out continuously like thunder.
"What a terrifying battle. If I didn't use Ultra Instinct, I wouldn't even be a match for them," Goku remarked, watching the exchange in awe.
Beside him, Vegeta gritted his teeth. "Hmph. Two monsters."
Trunks asked hesitantly, "Can Jiren win?"
Vegito (Turles) shook his head. "Jiren is no match for Cumber. The gap between them is quite significant."
After all, when Turles had fought Cumber, the Saiyan's power was already approaching that of Jippo—the fusion of Jiren and Toppo from his own timeline. A lone Jiren simply stood no chance against this version of Cumber.
