Chapter 281: We Are the Champions!
"What is this?"
"This form… it's completely different from before!"
Beerus was utterly astonished when he saw Mu Chuan's current state. He could sense that it was entirely unlike the transformations he had guided previously.
The power was stronger and deeper—less wild, yet far more restrained. While his appearance still exuded a ferocious aura, it carried a completely different feeling.
It wasn't just Beerus—anyone who laid eyes on Mu Chuan was equally shocked. Throughout the entire Tournament of Power, he had already transformed countless times, each time becoming stronger.
Was this some kind of limitless transformation?
"This form of his…" Whis suddenly spoke, his tone laced with shock. He could sense it clearly—the destruction energy had fully merged into Mu Chuan's body.
This was no longer just power. It wasn't a standalone force anymore.
Something new had been created.
"It could be called Super Saiyan Six!"
"The destruction energy has integrated into his body, breaking the original balance. This power now belongs entirely to him, even resonating with his Saiyan bloodline."
After Whis explained this, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Destructive energy merged into his body?
Was such a thing even possible?
Even Whis found it hard to believe. He had never seen anything like this before. Even for a God of Destruction, achieving such a level was extremely difficult, let alone for a mortal!
The mere thought was incredible.
The Clown God of Destruction stared blankly at Mu Chuan, disbelief etched across his face. But soon, a smile of admiration spread across his lips.
"As expected of someone who could defeat Jiren… to reach this level is truly remarkable!"
"Ultimately, Beerus is just too lucky. To have such a powerful mortal in his universe—this is extraordinary. If he were to inherit the position of God of Destruction one day, he'd undoubtedly become the strongest of all Gods of Destruction!"
The Clown God of Destruction's words were not mere flattery but sincere admiration.
The Pride Troopers, still reeling from Jiren's defeat, were even more stunned upon hearing the Clown God of Destruction's remarks.
Meanwhile, the figures of Universe 11's members began to blur—they had lost.
Victory belonged solely to Universe 7.
Everyone finally snapped back to reality. However, their reactions were muted. After all, they had already come to terms with their fate during the earlier moments of the battle.
Even Jiren had been defeated…
Erasure was now an undeniable reality.
Though victory was worth celebrating, watching one universe after another be erased left everyone deeply shaken.
As Universe 11 was erased before their very eyes, the members of Universe 7 stood silently, their hearts heavy with mixed emotions.
"One universe after another… erased. Not just individual beings, but entire universes—including their powerful Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais—vanished in an instant. It feels surreal…"
Olipod rarely spoke, but his words struck a chord. Witnessing the erasure of entire universes was undeniably shocking.
A universe wasn't just a single entity—it represented countless lives, including formidable Gods of Destruction and Kais. And yet, all of it was erased with the snap of a finger.
The others silently agreed with his sentiment.
…
Amid everyone's deep thoughts, Mu Chuan stood on the stage, feeling the overwhelming power coursing through him. He hadn't expected such a transformation to occur by sheer chance.
The terrifying destruction energy enveloped him, his domineering aura and immense power forcing him to recognize this new form. It seemed he had mastered yet another transformation.
But…
How did this transformation come about?
He wasn't sure. Given time, he could slowly analyze and study it. Mu Chuan glanced around, a faint smile curling at his lips.
"We've won!"
"We are the champions!"
At this moment, the previously somber crowd erupted in excitement.
While they had felt a sense of loss watching other universes vanish, the ultimate victory was theirs.
They had survived!
"We are the champions!"
"We are the champions!"
Everyone cheered in unison. Reflecting on the battle, they realized how perilous it had been. Though they had thought themselves powerful, they had faced immense resistance from the other universes.
Especially Universe 11—they were truly formidable.
Without Mu Chuan's final surge of power, the outcome would have been uncertain.
Even Frieza, as proud as he was, couldn't help but smile at this moment.
"Not bad…"
"I must admit, Saiyans truly are a warrior race, growing stronger the more they fight…"
"But next time, it'll be my turn to shine!"
Despite the significant gap in power, Frieza never gave up. He didn't believe himself inferior to the Saiyans. As a prodigy, all he needed was time—then immense power would be within his grasp!
"We finally won!" Karl and Greta exchanged a glance.
Moments ago, their hearts had been on edge. Although they had faith in Mu Chuan, Jiren's overwhelming strength had left them feeling hopeless.
Thankfully, it was all over now…
Their universe had emerged victorious.
From afar, Goku gazed at Mu Chuan. Though he had always known of Mu Chuan's strength, only now did he realize how indescribably powerful he truly was.
"I have to train harder… Someday, I'll be as strong as you all!"
"It won't take long!!"
Goku's unwavering resolve remained. He was a battle maniac, driven by the pursuit of strength and the thrill of fighting powerful opponents. Having glimpsed a broader world, his ambitions only grew.
Beerus dusted off his pants, standing up with a satisfied smile. "It's finally over. As expected… we're the champions!"
"But Beerus-sama, you were clearly nervous just now."
Whis's casual remark made Beerus freeze momentarily. He quickly turned away, pretending not to hear. After all, he had been nervous—at the decisive moment, losing would have been disastrous!
