Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 513: Number One in the Multiverse

With the disappearance of Universe 11, the remaining people of Universe 7 stood up one after another, ready to face their fate.

After all, no one believed that Goku alone could defeat Lin Chen.

Even Goku himself thought so.

In the arena, he looked at Lin Chen and suddenly canceled the Perfected Ultra Instinct, then rubbed his head and smiled at Lin Chen.

“Brother Lin Chen, you are really amazing. With only me left, I might as well forfeit… sigh, it’s a pity that there won’t be any more chances to fight you in the future.”

Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile and said, “Don’t worry, there will definitely be more chances to fight in the future.”

“Huh?” Goku was stunned for a moment. “But isn’t Universe 7 supposed to be erased?”

“Erased?”

Lin Chen shook his head and instead looked at Lazuli in the audience, saying something silently.

“Oh! So there’s still this method… Geez, Brother Lin Chen, you should have said so earlier. We wouldn’t have been so worried.”

Saying this, Goku couldn’t help but feel excited. “Since it’s like this, how about we fight again? Brother Lin Chen, I want to experience that technique you just used again.”

“That was an amazing technique. I still haven’t fully understood it yet.”

As he spoke, Goku calmed down, his gaze sharpened, and Perfected Ultra Instinct reappeared on his body.

In the spectator’s seats, Vegeta and the others saw Goku first appear to give up the match, then talk to Lin Chen about something, and then transform back into Ultra Instinct realm again, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

“What is Kakarot up to? Didn’t he give up?” Vegeta asked in confusion.

Gohan turned to Piccolo beside him and asked, “Uncle Piccolo, do you know what’s going on?”

Gohan knew Piccolo had good hearing and might have heard the conversation between the two just now.

At this moment, for some reason, Piccolo looked quite annoyed.

Upon hearing Gohan’s question, he paused for a moment, then replied, “Well… Lin Chen just said that after he wins, he will wish to revive the erased universes with Super Shenron, so Goku wants to give it a try and fight again.”

“What? Is that true?” Beerus exclaimed. “So, does that mean I won’t die?”

Whis also expressed surprise, “So there’s this method? No wonder Mr. Lin Chen agreed to Champa-sama and others’ proposal back then.”

“Are you sure you didn’t mishear?” Just to be sure, Beerus asked again.

“No, because…” Piccolo glanced at Lazuli subconsciously, “Lin Chen just said he didn’t want to go back and kneel on the washboard, so he will definitely revive everyone.”

“Washboard? What does that mean?” Beerus didn’t understand.

But Lin Luo, Taro, and the others, including Android 18, all understood.

The group smirked and looked at Lazuli, making her blush and lower her head in embarrassment.

Fortunately, at that moment, the battle between Lin Chen and Goku resumed, relieving Lazuli’s embarrassment.

In the arena, Goku and Lin Chen had already begun their last battle.

Two immense energies clashed with each other, creating terrifying lightning that made one’s scalp tingle.

Amidst the lightning were Goku and Lin Chen, moving as fast as lightning.

The next moment, Goku clenched his left hand into a fist, charged for a few seconds, and then fiercely attacked Lin Chen.

But just as his fist was about to strike, Lin Chen had already rushed forward. His hands formed a circle, directly wrapping around Goku’s fist like the head of a giant serpent, and twisted it hard.

Goku screamed in pain, took a few steps back, then used Instant Transmission to create distance from Lin Chen once again.

Goku’s left arm had gone limp, seemingly broken, but Goku concentrated energy in his right hand, preparing for a long-range ki blast.

However, before Goku could fully prepare, Lin Chen launched a swift barrage of ki blasts.

Because Lin Chen used small continuous ki blasts, there was no need to charge, effectively countering Goku’s attack perfectly.

When Goku once again dodged the ki blasts by employing Instant Transmission, escaping to another floating rock, Lin Chen appeared almost simultaneously behind him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thanks to Ultra Instinct, Goku’s body instinctively began to swiftly dodge, with Lin Chen closely following suit.

The two of them chased each other continuously for over ten seconds, leaving a trail of afterimages in the arena. Suddenly, Goku stopped on a floating rock and raised his hands.

“Enough! There’s no need to continue this battle. Brother Lin Chen, your technique is too powerful. No matter how I counterattack, you always manage to preemptively seal off my attacks. If I keep fighting, I’ll only end up with internal injuries.”

Seeing this, Lin Chen also stopped. “Actually, both you and Jiren are just not used to it yet. If your Ultra Instinct becomes more proficient, you should be able to handle it, at least not be as passive as now.”

“Thank you for the advice. I will continue to work hard. So, for now, let’s leave it at this, Brother Lin Chen. See you later!”

Saying that, Goku jumped backward and directly fell from the arena.

“Universe 7’s Goku has been eliminated! Therefore, Universe 7 will be erased!” Grand Priest announced loudly immediately after.

The two Zenos sat on their thrones, satisfied.

“Ah, in the end, Lin Chen won after all.”

“It was a great match, but it’s a shame it has to end like this!”

“Yes, indeed! What a pity!”

Although they said that, both of them still raised their hands.

A white light instantly descended upon Goku and the others.

“Sorry, everyone, but don’t worry. Brother Lin Chen will revive us soon.”

Knowing Lin Chen’s wish, Goku comforted everyone with a smile.

To his surprise, however, the others didn’t seem sad or surprised at all.

“Dad, Uncle Piccole already heard your conversation with Uncle Lin Chen,” Gohan reminded him.

“Huh? Is that so?” Goku chuckled in embarrassment.

At this moment, Lazuli walked to the edge of the stands and shouted towards Lin Chen, “Lin Chen! Revive us soon! Otherwise, I’ll make you kneel on the washboard when I return!”

With that, the people of Universe 7 were erased.

At the scene of the Tournament of Power, only Lin Chen, a mortal, remained.

“So, the Tournament of Power has come to a perfect end. The final winner is the independent contestant, Lin Chen! Let’s congratulate him! In order to express their respect for his participation as a solo contestant, both Zeno-sama have specially proposed that in addition to the rewards of this tournament, Lin Chen will also be bestowed with the title of Multiverse’s number one!”

With Grand Priest’s announcement, the remaining four universes’ God of Destruction, Supreme Kai as well as Angels, all stood up together, clapping for Lin Chen in the arena.

Each person’s face was filled with respect and admiration.

The result of this tournament was unquestionable in everyone’s eyes. Being able to single-handedly defeat 80 contestants, Lin Chen at this moment had rightfully become the strongest person among all participating universes, and perhaps even among the 12 universes!

The title of Multiverse’s number one was well deserved!
