Chapter 158 - of Power Pt. 4

Soren had sent his senses out over the whole stage, and found every single hiding participant, Soren felt around 10 people hiding in total, while Soren looked over to Universe 9's side, and noticed 4 of their participants were eliminated. Soren had wondered who were the extra for 4 people, and what Universe they would be from, between Universe 11, and Universe 6, Soren then raised his hands, and in turn, 10 people started to lift into the air, and began flying towards Soren.

[W-What the!?... How are we flying!?... This should be impossible!]: ???

Some of the 10 people that were flying through the air not of their own free volition, began to freak out, and once Soren caught sight of the 10 people, a small smile grew on his face. Soren noticed everyone from Universe 9, while the 4 extras were people well known in Universe 6, for fans of Dragon Ball Super, Soren decided that it would be mean to eliminate the 4 people of Universe 6, as Champa was Beerus' brother, along with his wives student. When Soren gathered all 10 people, he was sighted by everyone who was watching him, they all saw the 10 people floating, but not using Ki, they wondered how they could do that, until they saw Soren begin to manipulate them more towards the edge, and one who took most anger out of this was Champa, he knew if his 4 members were eliminated, then it was over for his Universe.

[Soren!... Put my contestants down right this instant, or I will Destroy you!]: champa

Soren just gave an inward chuckle towards Champa's antics, while he had no intention to eliminate them, but now he would scare Champa to death, as payback for talking to him like that. Soren then gave Champa a glare, and began to walk over to the edge of the ring, and slowly start lowering all the gathered people down into the void, as they had no way to escape, and Champa was biting his tail while sweat was pouring down his back, and forehead.

[AHHH!... Soren!... Don't do it, I'm sorry! Please let them continue!]: champa

Soren was surprised, that was the first time Champa had ever said Sorry, to anyone but Beerus. Soren then dropped the 6 remaining participants of Universe 9, and watched as they disappeared, and reappeared in the spectator seats, and soon after, Zen-Oh erased Universe 9, as the Grand Priest spoke.

[Universe 9 has been Erased… There are 3 Universes that remain… Will Soren drop the remaining 4 participants of Universe 6, and get them erased as well?]: GP

Everyone was intent on watching what Soren did next, while Goku came up to watch, and now that he was full of energy again, he was waiting to battle someone else. Soren then lifted the remaining 4 participants of Universe 6 back to the stage, and released them from his Telekinetic Control, Soren then turned his back to the 4 and began walking away, but before Soren could walk even 10 feet, he was attacked from the back by a Ki blast that did nothing by put dirt on his clothing. Soren then turned back to see a short girl, with well toned, and compact muscles, with about an A, or B-cup bust, that was covered by a tight Magenta colored, low cut tube-top, and low-set Purple harem pants, long dark Grey wristbands, and a pair of pointy dark Grey shoes. Her hair is long, wild, and spiky, and her eyes are narrow yet big, with large Black pupils, as well as thin eyebrows. Soren knew this girl from the Anime as Caulifla, and she had a very short temper, Soren could tell due to the fact she attacked him the second she was released from most certain death, and when her attack failed, she shouted.

[Hey! Asshole!... You trying to get our Universe eliminated!?]: caulifla

Soren looked at her, as she began to spout nonsense out of her mouth, Soren then realized how close Caulifla was to Goku in terms of personality, with Caulifla being a bit more aggressive. Soren had thought back to all the joke's and pictures he had seen on the internet, where Goku and Caulifla were going to be dating, he felt that there was reason to suspect this, these two were the biggest idiots he had ever seen, Soren then began speaking.

[Why yes… I am trying to eliminate your Universe… That is the point of this game is it not?]: soren

When Soren spoke the word "Game" it caught the attention of everyone, they all thought Soren was an idiot, or even plain crazy. To them, this was no game, but straight up survival of the fittest, if you couldn't hold up in this fight, then it was pointless for you to continue surviving, and it seemed like Soren didn't get this concept, or maybe he understood it too well, and saw this whole thing as a "Game". While everyone was pondering over these ideas, the Grand Priest, began looking towards Soren with utmost interest, he had no idea how Soren was able to differentiate this Tournament between a "Game" and a "Death Sentence", in the end, the Grand Priest decided to continue watching over Soren.

[Y-You!... You're insane!... How can you see this as a Game?... What part of this is fun for you!?]: caulifla

[Hmm… None of it… You all are too weak]: soren

When Soren said that, everyone began to look towards Soren with contempt, and then realized that Soren looked down on all of them. Soren had no care for who won, and who lost, because in the end, Soren would win the whole Tournament, it was at that time, that all the Gods of Destruction hoped for Soren to make a mistake, and get eliminated, and once that happens, Universe 7 will crumble.

[Well… If you have no more questions, I will be off… Remember, you only survived today because I want Goku to have a bit of fun, along with giving respect to my wife's student]: soren

Soren then left the place, and watched as Goku, and Vegeta appeared in his previous spot. Goku had taken on both Caulifla, and Kale, while Vegeta took on Cabba, and Hit, Soren then watched the whole thing play out, with Hit using Time Skip on Vegeta, but due to Vegeta using a stronger form of SSGSSP, he could easily move through the cracks of time, while Cabba tried to fight with Vegeta, only to be blown out of the ring, and into the void. Goku was fighting with both of the Saiyan girls while in SSJ2, while Cailifla was in Super Saiyan, and Kale was in her base form trying to attack Goku with sneak attacks.

[Excuse me… Can you not!... I'm trying to battle with her, but you keep getting in the way!]: goku

[Ahh!... Sorry!]: kale

Kale apologized to Goku, and began sulking, while Caulifla got angry at Goku for yelling at Kale, she then stopped the fight, and went to teach Kale how to transform into a Super Saiyan, soon Kale was able to feel the heat bubbling in her back, and soon, Soren watched as Kale's rage exploded, as her hair turned Green in color. Goku saw the energy being produced, and began to get a bit serious, while Kale began attacking Goku, with Caulifla watching and cheering Kale on from the sidelines, and soon after, Goku powered up to Super Saiyan God, and charged Kale with a few hundred Ki blast attacks. Soren was board watching the battle, and began scanning the battlefield, and found the only remaining people were Zenith, Killua, Gon, Goku, Vegeta, and himself from Universe 7, Caulifla, Kale, and Hit from Universe 6, and Jiren from Universe 12, everyone else had been eliminated. Soren then sent his senses out with a telepathic thought towards Gon, Killua, and Zenith with a specific message, that they could either follow or not, as it was their choice.

'Guys… Everyone is basically gone, I will let both Goku, and Vegeta fight with Jiren, while I sit back, and when they lose, I will finish it… As for you guys, You can either jump off the stage, or stay in hiding… But you're not needed now… Thank you all for joining the Tournament, I hope you guys had fun': soren

Soren then got replies from each of them.

'No problem… It was fun… Thanks dad, I'll go then': zenith

'I will always be up for a good fight, so I will stay just in case': killua

'Same here… I will wait until the Tournament is over': gon

Soren then watched as Zenith just jumped off of the stage, and fell into the void before reappearing in the stands. Vegeta had also finished his fight with Hit at this time, as Hit had been tossed off the stage, and reappeared in the stands, and when Champa saw this, he got angry, and shouted out.

[Use the thing!... You are our last hope! Use the Things now!]: champa

Both Caulifla and Kale heard Champa, and nodded their heads, they then turned towards each other, and nodded between each other. They both took out 1 Potara earring, and placed it on one of their ears, Kale placed hers on her left ear, while Caulifla placed hers on her right ear. The two then began to fuse into one being, with a hairstyle that was a mix between the two of them, they also had an outfit change, it was now a cut short Magenta colored T-shirt, with Magenta colored skinny jeans. They also had Gold color wrist cuffs that were more like Kale's, with Gold color boots, their eyes were a mix between the two people, still being sharp, yet big, Soren then heard them introduce their new name to Goku while trying to come up with one.

[Hahaha… We are now… Umm… If we are one, then we will be known as Kefla!... We are Kefla, and we will beat you here and now, to save our Universe from destruction]: kefla

Soren then began to watch the fight between Kefla and Goku, as Goku began having trouble fighting with Kefla, and resorted to going SSGSSP, but even with that, Kefla was still pushing Goku back. Soon, Goku had been blasted into a wall, and looked like he was about to fall unconscious, that was until a hot and radiant aura began eminationg off of his body, as his hair lifted up just a bit, and gave off a White hue, and his eyes became Gray once again. Goku had taped into Ultra Instinct Oman once more, and began fighting Kefla, though he punched and kicked her, there was hardly any damage done, but all the attacks thrown at Goku by Kefla, were instantly dodged.

[Stop dodging, and take my attack like a man already!]: kefla

Soren noticed that the time remaining until the end of the Tournament was around 12 Minutes, and just continued to watch the fight with Goku and Kefla. Not even 30 seconds later, Goku skimmed across Kelfa's killer move, and blasted her at point blank range with a Kamehameha, sending her out of bounds and into the void.

[No!... W-We lost…]: champa

[Contestant's Caulifla, and Kale, combined to be Kefla, have been eliminated… Universe 6's whole team has been eliminated… Thus, they will be erased]: GP

Everyone on Universe 6's team began to apologize to Champa for losing, while Vados began to give off what seemed to be a fake cry, but Soren could tell that Vados still had some attachment to Champa, even if he was not the Number One person to attend too.

[It seems like this is Goodbye Lord Champa… Quick! Ariel, saw goodbye to Uncle Champa, we won't see him again]: vados

[Goodbye Uncle Champa]: ariel

'Maybe I was wrong… Maybe she actually doesn't care': soren

Champa then ruffled the small Kid's hair before turning towards Beerus, and gave his last goodbyes before disappearing like everyone else.

[Hey! Beerus!]: champa

Beerus turned to face Champa looking forward to what he had to say, but in the next second, Champa stuck his tongue out towards Beerus, and pulled his left eyelid down in a teasing manner.

[MMMNNNNNN!!]: champa

Champa then disappeared into a flash of light, and was erased into nothingness. Beerus just looked at where his brother once stood for a few more seconds before looking back towards the stage, and said to himself while trying to hold the one tear in his eye, as it fell down his cheek.

'You get to say one thing… And this is what you do?': beerus

[Well since Lord Champa is gone, I will sit with you guys… Aint that right Ariel]: vados

Vados had come over to sit next to Whis, while holding Ariel in her arms. Whis took this chance to hold his nephew, as he might not get the chance if something happens to Universe 7. Ariel was considered part of Universe 7, as he was born there, so he would get erased if Universe 7 was erased, and this thought saddened Whis, Vados, and even the Grand Priest, as this was his Grandson, but rules were rules.

[10 Minutes Remain in the Tournament of Power, and the only remaining Universes are Universe 7, and Universe 11]: GP

Soren then began to head towards Jiren, and was soon followed by both Goku and Vegeta who began arguing about who would get to fight Jiren.

[No Kakarot!... I will fight Jiren, you just wasted all your energy fighting that girl]: vegeta

[But you just fought with Hit no?... You should be even more exhausted, so I will fight him]: goku

As Goku and Vegeta began to quarrel with each other, Soren stepped forward and spoke to calm the tension.

[You both are equally exhausted, so why don't you both fight Jiren together… And if you happen to lose, I will take over]: soren

[...Deal!]: goku/vegeta

Both Goku and Vegeta began to gather their energy, as much as possible, while walking over to Jiren's location, and when they got there, Jiren was releasing a massive amount of Energy, that made both Goku and Vegeta's lust for battle spike, and the two of them transformed into SSGSSP and began their charge towards Jiren.
