Inside Universe 6’s spectator room.
Champa’s face looked worse than if he had just eaten something disgusting.
“It’s… it’s over! Vados, we lost three people all at once!!!” Champa clutched his head as he spoke, unwilling to accept what had happened.
However, Vados simply covered her mouth and laughed softly before saying to him: “Lord Champa, aren’t you being a little too impatient?”
Hearing that, Champa gradually calmed down and continued watching the screen.
On the arena, within the snowfield module. The five little Cells blinked their eyes, clearly not understanding what Trunks meant.
They all rushed toward Trunks at the same time. But in the next moment, Trunks suddenly ran toward them instead, moving at incredible speed.
“What’s wrong, boss?” One of the little Cells asked.
However, Trunks didn’t answer. Instead, he ran past them and looked toward the edge of the arena.
He stared down below the arena, confirming it once more before frowning.
“There’s a problem.”
The five Golden little Cells all turned toward Trunks in confusion. “What’s wrong, boss?”
Trunks explained, “I don’t know if you noticed something but when the two people from Universe 9 were eliminated just now, you heard the elimination announcement.”
The five little Cells nodded simultaneously. “Yes.”
Suddenly, all five of them shuddered as they realized something was wrong. They leaned over the edge of the arena and looked down, shouting in shock:
“That’s strange!!” ×5
Trunks nodded.
“That’s right. Even though the three people from Universe 6 were eliminated… there was no announcement.”
The five little Cells instantly became alert and looked behind them.
“Could it be… they’re still in the arena?!”
Trunks shook his head and confirmed again. “No. They’re not here. I can’t sense any of their auras anywhere on the stage.”
“So far, in the module we’re in, aside from you and me… There seems to be only one other person.”
The five little Cells immediately raised their heads and closed their eyes to sense the surroundings.
Sure enough, what Trunks said was correct.
But then the question arose… Where did the three people they had just eliminated go?
“Could it have something to do with the remaining person?” one little Cell asked.
Trunks’ expression turned serious.
“I’m not sure. But what I do know is that person is from Universe 10. He has no reason to help Universe 6.”
Instead of guessing like this, it would be better to ask him directly.
In the next instant, Trunks began sprinting. He locked onto the aura of the black-robed man from Universe 10 and chased after him without stopping.
The five little Cells followed closely behind him.
But at that moment, another announcement suddenly echoed throughout the entire arena.
『Universe 9 – Chappil has been eliminated!』
『Universe 9 – Hopp has been eliminated!』
In just one second…
Two more fighters from Universe 9 were eliminated. The five little Cells were stunned and stopped running.
One of them said to Trunks: “Boss, looks like Universe 9 lost two more people. Adding the two we eliminated earlier, that makes four people gone already.”
Another little Cell chimed in: “Four out of ten eliminated… that means only six left.”
“Just thinking about it is exciting. I wonder who did it.”
“Who cares who did it? Anyway, it’s not someone from our Universe, so there’s no need to worry about it,” one of the little Cells replied.
Trunks felt that the little Cell had a point.
“Right. What happens in other universes has nothing to do with us. Let’s go.”
But just then, another series of announcements suddenly rang out.
『Universe 9 – Hyssop has been eliminated!』
…
『Universe 9 – Oregano has been eliminated!』
…
『Universe 9 – Roselle has been eliminated!』
…
『Universe 4 – Shosa has been eliminated!』
The elimination announcements echoed continuously throughout the entire arena.
At that moment, the little Cells immediately sensed something was wrong.
In less than a single second, three more fighters from Universe 9 had been eliminated again.
And aside from Universe 9, one fighter from Universe 4 had also been taken out!
Only one second had passed!
Almost at the exact same moment, five fighters from Universe 9 were eliminated at once! Adding the two they had eliminated earlier, Universe 9 now had only three fighters left.
But the question was… Who could eliminate five fighters from Universe 9 and one fighter from Universe 4 in just a single second?
That meant six fighters were eliminated simultaneously.
“Boss… what do you think?” One of the little Cells finally couldn’t hold back and asked.
Trunks stopped running and began analyzing.
“I think… Universe 9 is probably finished.”
Based on the memories from his previous life, Trunks recalled that Universe 9 was basically cannon fodder overall. Their contestants were weaker than the last. Aside from the three wolves of the Trio de Dangers, there was almost no one worth mentioning.
Not only were their fighters pitifully weak, even their God of Destruction was weak as well.
In the original timeline, Universe 9’s God of Destruction, Sidra, was practically brainless. He had been persuaded by Universe 4’s God of Destruction Quitela to let someone from Universe 4 use his Destruction Energy to assassinate Son Goku and Frieza.
And the final result?
That Destruction Energy was forcibly endured by Golden Frieza.
On top of that, Sidra was quite an oddity among the Gods of Destruction. In other universes, the God of Destruction usually held authority above the Kaioshin.
Yet this guy couldn’t even suppress the Kaioshin of his own universe.
“Why do you say that, boss?” One little Cell asked.
Trunks replied calmly: “In the Tournament of Power, you can’t fly, and you can’t use Instant Transmission. So it’s very likely that the fighters from Universe 9 encountered an opponent far stronger than them. Eliminating six fighters in a single second… that’s definitely someone operating on a completely different level.”
“So far, only eight fighters have appeared in our module. So it’s very possible that in their module, only one person remains. And that person eliminated everyone in that section in just a single second.”
“Of course… it’s also possible that it wasn’t done by the same person.”
Trunks’ analysis was extremely methodical.
The five little Cells listened in fascination. Their admiration for Trunks grew even stronger.
Meanwhile.
In another module, within a barren desert wasteland.
A short figure was calmly cleaning his claws while listening with enjoyment to the elimination announcements echoing across the arena.
This was his handiwork.
Soon, he revealed a sinister smile.
“Well… you can only blame yourselves for running into me, Universe 9.”
“Hehehe.”
“The Tournament of Power?”
“Having me alone is already enough.”
