Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Kahn to Participate in the Tournament of Power?!
"This should settle it."
Whis narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
Even though Basil had taken drugs to enhance his strength, with Vegeta's current power, he could easily handle him in his Super Saiyan form without even needing to go Super Saiyan Blue.
A drug-enhanced Basil couldn't even defeat a mere fanboy, let alone Vegeta at this stage.
But Vegeta was someone who loved to show off.
After two years of special training under Beerus, this was his chance to display his progress. How could he let this opportunity slip away?
Seeing Vegeta flaunt his power, Goku and Gohan couldn't help but feel excited.
"Blue... Blue?!"
On Universe 9's side, Sidra and Roh were left speechless as they watched Vegeta transform into Super Saiyan Blue.
Just a moment ago, his hair was golden, and now it had turned blue?!
What was wrong with Universe 7's fighters?!
"Hmph!"
Vegeta snorted, then made a signature clenched-fist pose, smirking.
"This is called Super Saiyan Blue! I am Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta!"
"Tch, what nonsense is this Super Saiyan Blue?"
Roh's face darkened as he shouted, "Basil! Take him down!"
"I know, stop nagging!"
Basil glared at Vegeta. His strength had indeed increased after taking the drug, but the side effects were severe. However, none of that mattered now.
As long as he won, the consequences were worth it.
With that in mind, Basil leaped into the air, gathering a crimson energy sphere on his right foot.
"Shining..."
"Blaster!"
BOOM!
The moment Basil fired his attack, the entire arena was bathed in a crimson glow.
"You're overestimating yourself. Let me show you the true power of Super Saiyan Blue!"
Vegeta smirked, planting his feet firmly as he stretched out both arms.
Kahn could already guess what move Vegeta was preparing.
Final Flash.
It was Vegeta's ultimate finishing move—one of the strongest energy-based attacks in the entire Dragon Ball universe.
Using it against Basil? That was complete overkill.
The next moment—
"Die!"
"Final Flash!!"
BOOM!
Golden lightning crackled around the massive energy wave as it tore through the void, heading straight for Basil's attack.
"Wow!"
Zeno's eyes widened in excitement at the spectacle.
A second later—
Final Flash collided with the Shining Blaster.
BOOM!
The overwhelming force of the Final Flash swallowed Basil's attack instantly.
Before Basil or Universe 9's gods could react, he was completely consumed by the blast.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion shook the entire arena, sending shockwaves across the space.
The Angels and the Grand Priest quickly formed protective barriers to shield themselves from the impact.
After a long moment, the energy finally dissipated.
Basil lay unconscious in the arena, covered in burns and bruises.
A complete knockout.
"Hmph, weakling!"
Vegeta scoffed in disdain.
"Ba...Basil..."
Roh fell to his knees, his face filled with despair.
"The Omni-King is pleased! The first match of the Zeno Expo has concluded, with Vegeta of Universe 7 as the victor!"
The Grand Priest announced the results.
"Nice work, Vegeta!"
Beerus and Supreme Kai cheered, thrilled by Vegeta's performance.
However, Vegeta remained unimpressed.
"Hmph! There's nothing to celebrate about defeating such weaklings."
Beerus didn't mind. "You may not be happy, but I sure am!"
"I'm next!"
Goku leaped onto the stage, eager for a fight.
It had been too long since he'd had a real battle, and he couldn't wait to test himself.
Universe 9 sent out Lavenda, the second eldest of the Trio of Danger.
The match was one-sided.
After a few minutes of fighting, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan Blue and completely overpowered Lavenda, just like Vegeta had done with Basil.
Finally, it was Gohan's turn against Bergamo.
If this were the Gohan from the original timeline, he would likely have lost.
But this Gohan wasn't weak anymore.
No matter how much energy Bergamo absorbed, his body had a limit.
In the end, Gohan overwhelmed him with sheer power.
With that—
The Zeno Expo ended in a complete victory for Universe 7.
The gods of the other universes took notice.
The strength of Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan had left them wary.
When the real Tournament of Power began, Universe 7 would be the biggest threat.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Kahn stretched and sighed. If the Expo had gone on any longer, he might've fallen asleep.
"The Zeno Expo is now concluded. Now, moving on..."
On the floating platform, the Grand Priest raised a hand, summoning colorful divine energy.
"I will now begin constructing the Tournament of Power arena. This will take a short while. Please be patient."
As he spoke, the Grand Priest started creating the massive arena from thin air.
"Grand Priest, how long will it take?"
Whis asked casually.
"Not long. Five ticks."
The Grand Priest continued, "The Tournament of Power will begin at precisely 157:00 on the Royal Calendar 3,135,556,300. Until then, each universe must assemble its ten representatives."
Then—
The Grand Priest glanced toward Universe 7's platform.
"Additionally, I declare that God of Destruction Kahn will be participating as a fighter for Universe 7."
"NANI?!?!"
"Lord Kahn is fighting in the Tournament of Power?!"
"This... If Lord Kahn is competing, how can we possibly win?!"
"He's the Gods of Destruction Tournament champion! If he joins the battle, isn't that basically cheating?!"
The announcement sent shockwaves through the Gods of Destruction.
Kahn— the strongest God of Destruction—was going to fight as a competitor?!
It was like throwing a wolf into a den of sheep.
A complete massacre!
This was no different from a God of Destruction attacking the mortals of his own universe!
It was an outright dimensional power gap!
All the Gods of Destruction were left in utter disbelief.
If Kahn participated in the Tournament of Power—
They had no chance of winning at all!
