Chapter 314 308 The Rules Are Slightly Modified
Whis tilted his head slightly, the corners of his lips curving upwards into a faint smile. The smile carried a hint of amusement, instantly erasing the smug look from Beerus's face.
Raising an eyebrow, Whis spoke in a slightly teasing tone.
"Oh? So you actually see Vegeta as your future successor, my dear Lord Beerus?"
As he spoke, Whis's deep eyes remained fixed on Beerus, as if trying to glean more information from his reaction.
Then, crossing his arms, Whis continued with a half-smile:
"In that case, when exactly are you planning to step down and hand over the position, Lord Beerus? If you retired a little earlier, perhaps the overall level of Universe 7 would rise even higher."
Hearing this, Beerus froze for a moment before his expression darkened and he retorted loudly:
"Hey, Whis, you really know how to ruin the mood!"
He glared at Whis, dissatisfaction and irritation flashing through his eyes, and added:
"Besides, it's still far too early to talk about retirement!"
…
The incident with Dyspo earlier had already given the Great Priest something to think deeply about.
There were indeed loopholes in the tournament rules. If everyone started exploiting the loophole for extreme one-for-one trades like Dyspo did, then the tournament itself would lose all meaning.
So, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Great Priest activated a global broadcast.
"A new rule is now being added."
"No contestant may fabricate a murder result through self-harm. Any death caused in this way will be considered suicide."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone looked completely baffled. They had no idea why the Great Priest had suddenly issued such a rule, but Vegeta understood perfectly well.
Meanwhile, on another side, Frieza, who had already successfully advanced, fell into thought.
"Oh? It would've been nice if this rule had been announced earlier. Then I could've made very good use of it, hoho."
…
Vegeta observed Toppo quietly.
Before long, Toppo's body underwent a massive transformation. His expanding physique tore apart his upper clothing, fully exposing his torso. Not only that, but his formerly round belly had also transformed into solid muscle.
A violent aura radiated from his eyes, and he no longer looked human.
Vegeta was reminded of the time he fought Super Broly.
"Tch, how ridiculous. Who knows what this guy gave up to turn himself into this?"
"He is neither human nor god, just some disgusting freak. Pathetic"
Vegeta said disdainfully.
However, just as Vegeta assumed that Toppo had lost all his sanity and had become a complete idiot... Toppo suddenly spoke.
In a perfectly clear voice, he said to Vegeta:
"There's no way I'll let Universe 7 win because I have things I want to protect too! That's why I'm willing to use a method like this to win!"
BOOM!
A sphere of Destruction Energy suddenly shot out from Toppo's hand as soon as he finished speaking. The terrifying Destruction Energy fluctuations swept away everything around them.
In an instant, the entire plain was thrown into chaos.
Vegeta leapt into the air, dodging the Destruction Energy sphere directly.
He was unharmed; however, the land behind him vanished at that very moment.
There was no doubt about it; this was the true power of Destruction.
However, more Destruction Energy spheres were suddenly hurled towards Vegeta.
Naturally, Vegeta could handle them, but the other insignificant fighters hiding in the shadows were utterly horrified.
The battle had already reached a level of godly and immortal beings clashing; how could they possibly stand against that?
Among them, a blind warrior named Majora made a choice that left everyone confused. He suddenly walked to the edge of the arena and turned his head to watch the battle between Toppo and Vegeta.
In the end, he muttered: "These guys are monsters… forget it! I'm out! I only came here to go through the motions anyway!"
With that, he leapt forward and directly jumped off the arena.
"Universe 4's Majora has been eliminated!"
The announcement immediately rang out.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Nigrissi from Universe 3 was filled with terror as a Destruction Energy blast had just brushed past him.
This was the closest he had ever come to death.
Although it had only grazed him, the place where he stood happened to be right at the edge of the arena.
"Thank goodness… that was close."
Just as he was sighing in relief over narrowly escaping disaster, something unexpected happened.
While speaking, he had unconsciously taken two steps backward and in the next second, his entire body began falling downward.
He looked down in shock.
At that moment, there was no ground beneath his feet anymore. There was only empty air, and the land had already disintegrated.
"AHHHHHHH!!" A miserable scream echoed out as he fell off the arena.
"Universe 3's Nigrissi has been eliminated!"
The announcement followed immediately after.
After all this chaos, only three people remained on the battlefield now.
Vegeta, Toppo, and Cabba, who was trembling in fear while hiding in a corner.
On Cabba's side, the battlefield had already become a domain ruled by violent winds.
"So strong… such terrifying power." Cabba's eyes were completely fixed on the battle.
"Huh? W-What is this?!"
Suddenly, something blocked his vision.
Flailing about, he hurriedly pulled it off, only to discover it was a black piece of clothing.
Just as confusion filled his mind, a Destruction Energy sphere suddenly entered his field of vision, catching him completely off guard.
"It's over! I'm going to get hit!"
But at that moment, the blond-haired man appeared before him once again.
"Senior Vegeta!!" Cabba cried out excitedly.
However, Vegeta remained silent because he could see even more Destruction Energy spheres gathering in Toppo's hands. Although Toppo still retained his rationality, he clearly no longer cared about the tournament rules. Every attack he launched carried a vicious intent to kill.
Hundreds upon thousands of Destruction Energy blasts shot toward Vegeta and Cabba simultaneously.
Immediately, Vegeta roared at Cabba:
"If you don't want to die, then hurry up and jump off the arena as the others did! This is no longer a place where you can stay!"
Cabba desperately shook his head.
"But… Senior Vegeta, if I leave, our Universe will lose another chance at victory! I can't do that! Not when it's for my Universe!"
Those words were exactly what Vegeta had expected.
The kid in front of him was definitely stubborn to the core… rather similar to himself, the only problem was that his strength simply wasn't enough.
"Mm. Well said," Vegeta replied calmly.
"Then, Senior Vegeta! Let's fight him together!"
Cabba suddenly transformed into a Super Saiyan. However, in the very next second, he suddenly felt dizzy as a sharp pain shot through Cabba's neck, and his consciousness began fading. In disbelief, he looked behind him.
Vegeta's knife-hand strike entered his vision.
Using the last of his consciousness, Cabba asked: "W-Why… Senior Vegeta?"
Vegeta answered firmly: "Don't worry. As long as Universe 7 is here, your Universe won't be erased."
Cabba's body went limp as he collapsed onto the ground, completely unconscious.
