Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

The aura sensed enveloped the entire Realm of Nothingness.

Under Talot's divine perception, the barrier of this realm of nothingness had already been reached.

It was indeed much more solid than he had imagined.

[It seems this Tournament of Power is even more interesting than I thought, not only in terms of the strength of the Boundless Realm, but also in terms of the participants...] Talot's gaze swept around again, and he began to assess the strength of the participants from other universes.

Talot's actions naturally attracted the attention of contestants from other universes, but they didn't seem to care much.

How can one tell the strength of another at a glance?

Only through real battle can we know who is stronger and who is weaker.

Of course, for someone of Talot's caliber, the bottom line can be seen through at a glance.

At this moment, the rest of the Seventh Universe are in shock.

The idea of ​​using such an independent, chaotic little world as the stage for their battles was far beyond their imagination.

Especially the spiral-shaped floating arena beneath our feet.

"A bottomless darkness... If I fall down there, I'm definitely going to die." Krillin stood on the edge of the ring, looking down at what lay below, and felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding with fear.

"It's truly unbelievable..." Tien Shinhan was also stunned by the bottomless darkness, and said with a horrified expression.

Hearing their conversation, the silent angel Weiss explained to everyone, "Before the competition begins, let me first explain the rules of this Power Tournament... Anyone who falls off the ring will be disqualified, and the same goes for killing an opponent. In addition, there will be a special force on the ring that will restore the gravity of your original planet. Furthermore, to ensure fairness and impartiality, all participants have been stripped of their flight skills, so please abide by the rules..."

"They've taken away our ability to fly? Does that mean we can't use the Flying Technique anymore?!" Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise.

He subconsciously tried to use the Flying Technique to take flight, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't use it and could only stay in place. He couldn't even hover, let alone take off.

This situation surprised everyone, and they all tried it one after another.

These rules are simply absurd and restrictive.

If that's really the case, wouldn't it mean that once someone is knocked down, they can never come back?

"Wait! If the competition will deprive us of our ability to fly, what's with those guys in the sky?" Vegeta asked in a deep voice.

As Vegeta spoke, everyone's gaze swept around. At this moment, on the arena in the Realm of Nothingness, many winged contestants were soaring through the chaos.

"As I just said, what we're taking away is only the contestants' flying skills! Their wings are part of their bodies and are an innate ability, just like walking on the ground... so they're not included in the flying abilities that are cultivated later in life," Weiss explained.

"In other words, these guys have a huge advantage. Relying on their wings, they can avoid most of the battles and even survive until the very end," Gohan remarked.

"No! You're wrong, Gohan." Piccolo suddenly spoke up, then explained, "In my opinion, having wings isn't a good thing. Although they can fly, everyone here is a master, and they won't be at a disadvantage because of this little ability. On the contrary, they will be the first contestants to be eliminated because they have wings and can fly."

All I can say is that Piccolo truly lives up to his name; his eye for talent is incredibly sharp.

His analysis was very logical and reasonable.

In the face of an absolute powerhouse, even if you can fly, it's useless; a single energy wave can lock you down.

"Piccolo is right, everyone. Now it's up to you to see how you perform. Lord Beerus and I will head to the spectator area first." After saying this, Whis glanced at Talot, then slowly floated into the sky and flew towards the spectator area.

"Perform well and don't disappoint me." Beerus said to Goku and Vegeta in a deep voice, then gave Tarot a meaningful look before setting off to follow closely behind Whis.

No sooner had Whis and Beerus left than a call came from not far away.

"Master!! Vegeta Master!!" A cry drew everyone's attention.

Looking around, one could see Cabba, a Saiyan from Universe 6, running joyfully toward Vegeta's location.

"Don't just shout like that. I've never acknowledged you as a disciple." Although Vegeta didn't verbally acknowledge Cabba as his disciple, he had already accepted it in his heart.

These words left Gabe, who had come running over, bewildered, and he could only awkwardly scratch his head.

It has to be said that Gabe is really a lot like Trunks.

Immediately afterwards, two female Saiyans also came over, attracting the attention of Vegeta and Goku.

With their keen eyesight, they could see that these two female Saiyans possessed extremely powerful hidden strength.

"So they're the ones who told you about the Super Saiyan transformation, Cabba?" Caulifla, the leader, asked with a haughty expression.

Behind Caulifla, the socially awkward Kale seemed so unnatural, remaining silent.

Goku and Vegeta completely ignored Kale, but little did they know that this easily overlooked little girl was a Saiyan who only appeared once every thousand years.

[The legendary Super Saiyan power... How far can Kale in this time and space unleash that power?] Talot's gaze fell on Kale.

On a whim, he mobilized a bit of the power of the Great Ape Legend to test it out and see if there would be any resonance.

As his Great Ape Transcendent Power appeared, Kael suddenly froze on the spot, then abruptly turned his head to look at Talot.

Her heart was racing, and the Saiyan blood within her was resonating with the Great Ape Transcendent power emanating from Talot.

It seems... it's about to explode out of control!

Seeing that Kale was about to explode, Talot immediately stopped his small experiment and withdrew the power of the Great Ape Legendary into his body.

As he withdrew his power, Kale returned to normal, but she still remembered the feeling from just now. She looked at Talot meaningfully, but dared not speak.

Next, Cabba began to introduce Vegeta and Goku to Caulifla.

The familiar address of "Master" made Vegeta's eyelids twitch. Although he appeared serious, he was secretly very happy.

……

"High Priest, all the contestants from Universe 11 have arrived."

Just then, in a secluded corner of the arena, a spatial ripple appeared.

The God of Destruction and the Angels from Universe 11, along with the members of the Pride Team representing Universe 11, descend at this moment.

The moment they arrived, an invisible, powerful aura enveloped the space.

As a top-tier expert, Talot immediately felt the impact of this power and looked towards its source.

Sun Wukong belatedly realized something, his gaze swept around, and finally he saw the key figure.

"It's them! Everyone, I'll go say hello first!" Upon seeing his old acquaintance Toppo, Sun Wukong immediately rushed towards the area where Universe 11 was located.

Vegeta also shifted his gaze at that moment, drawn to the warriors of Universe 11.

Especially... a guy who's ridiculously strong just by looking at his physique!

"That guy... such a powerful aura..." Vegeta muttered to himself, his mind heavy.

"Tch! The Saiyans from Universe 7 don't seem to be anything special. Their aura is just so-so." Caulifla teased.

Clearly, they were like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, little did they know how pitifully weak they were.

Vegeta was clearly furious because of her teasing.

But the match hadn't started yet, so he couldn't teach them a lesson.

As Vegeta watched Caulifla return to her own universe with Kale, his expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

A thoroughly embarrassed Gabe apologized and then left.

……

Meanwhile, on Sun Wukong's side...

He went directly to Toppo.

In his view, Toppo was the strongest being in Universe 11, completely ignoring the strongest person Toppo had told him during the battle.

Jiren naturally noticed Goku's approach, but with just a few glances, he was able to gauge Goku's approximate strength.

He's so weak that he doesn't even bother to lift a finger.

Jiren ignored him and then did the same thing as Talot.

He used his immense perception to envelop the entire Realm of Nothingness, carefully sensing the aura emanating from each person.

The strong resonated with each other, and Jiren quickly noticed Talot.

Their eyes met at that moment; Talot was scrutinizing Jiren, while Jiren was also sizing him up.

Jiren was somewhat surprised by Talot's existence, not expecting such a being to exist in Universe 7.

Perhaps in this chaotic battle involving eighty people that concerns the survival of the universe, there is only one person who can make him take it seriously.

Jiren was very confident in his own strength; one could even say he was arrogant!

In his view, strength is absolute, strength is everything. His strength even surpasses that of the God of Destruction. Who else can fight against him?

[This Jiren is probably much stronger than I thought.] After just a few glances, Talot could roughly tell what level Jiren's strength was at.

Conservative estimate: the tenth dimension!

In the original work, the reason why this guy was so strong, even able to compete with Goku who had mastered the perfect Ultra Instinct, was entirely because his arrogance was shattered, he was forced into a desperate situation, and he recalled his past traumas, thus breaking through his limits and entering the eleventh dimension.

……

At the very back of the Eleventh Universe team.

The angel Macarita from the eleventh universe is scrutinizing Talot.

As an angel, her eyesight was incredibly sharp; she could tell at a glance that Talot did not belong to this world, yet he bore the marks of being recognized as an existence.

Most importantly, this mark was personally applied by her father, the High Priest!

"A great secret is hidden in the Seventh Universe," Angel Macarita mused to herself.

Just then, Goku noticed Jiren. This oblivious guy instinctively wanted to greet Jiren, but Jiren gave him a rude awakening the moment they met.

In the blink of an eye, Jiren teleported behind him at a speed that Goku couldn't even see.

"Get out!!!" Jiren whispered in a deep voice.

These words immediately startled Sun Wukong, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

[When did this guy appear behind me?] Goku's body trembled, quite frightened by Jiren's sudden display of power.

Toppo was right before; he really wasn't the strongest being in Universe 11.

That big bald guy is the real deal!

[Hmph, now you know fear, Sun Wukong...] Toppo sneered inwardly after noticing Sun Wukong's distraught appearance.

Ignorance breeds contempt; only those who truly understand Jiren know just how terrifying his power is.

At that very moment, the last remaining part of the Tournament of Power arena was repaired, and a classic scene from the original work unfolded.

Sun Wukong was tricked, while Jiren remained completely unfazed.

The competition is about to officially begin.

A frightened Goku returned to the Seventh Universe's camp, and everyone except Tarot looked grave because of what had happened.

A group of people gathered to discuss the matter, but no concrete conclusion was reached.

……

at the same time.

In the void.

The High Priest appeared and first summoned the Omni-King, who was located in the Omni-King Temple, and took his seat on the Supreme Throne.

He then waited until the entire audience quieted down before beginning to explain the rules of the competition.

According to the original storyline, there should have been two Omni-Kings, one of whom was brought to the world by Goku from a destroyed future timeline.

However, due to Tarot's intervention, the Omni-King from the future timeline was not brought by Goku, so there was only one Omni-King in this Tournament of Power.

After explaining the rules of the competition, the Grand Priest, at the behest of the Omni-King, officially announced the commencement of the Tournament of Power!

This conference, which involves the survival of the universe, has officially begun.

Boom! ...

As the match began.

In an instant, the arena erupted with dazzling sparks of battle.

It can be said that every contestant from every universe has brought out their best skills in order to avoid being eliminated in this brutal elimination round.

Multicolored explosions almost covered the entire arena space.

Some people fight fiercely just to eliminate their opponents and win the championship for their own universe, so that they can stay until the end.

Some people chose to hide in the shadows after the chaos broke out, looking for an opportunity to ruthlessly eliminate those who had let their guard down.

The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more advantageous it is for those rats hiding in the shadows.

For example, Frost in the sixth universe.

This guy is from Frieza's clan in Universe 6; he's a truly despicable and treacherous villain. (End of Chapter)
