For Mojito, since Lin Chuan had chosen him as his opponent, Lin Chuan had better be prepared to be killed by him.
Among all the Angels, Mojito's strength might not be the most top-tier or the strongest, but Mojito considered dealing with a puny Saiyan to be no problem at all.
"Are you deaf? Since you've already made your decision, hurry up and come down. What are you standing there grinning about?" The moment Lin Chuan said this, the atmosphere of the Null Realm became heavy and strange.
All the spectators were dumbfounded. They never would have expected Lin Chuan to be so bold as to directly curse at an Angel.
[Things are beginning to develop in an unpredictable direction...But this is getting more and more interesting.]Angel Whis secretly thought to himself.
The situation was gradually becoming unstable. The Angel Power on the insulted Angel Mojito's body was flowing, showing signs that it could erupt at any moment.
Not far away, in the Universe 7 spectator area.
Everyone from Universe 7 became tense.
No one knew what the outcome of challenging an Angel would be?!
Even God of Destruction Beerus was secretly praying in his heart, hoping nothing would go seriously wrong.
He was merely a small God of Destruction. In this situation, he had absolutely no say.
This was no longer something Gods like them could participate in!
On the arena, seeing that Lin Chuan had already selected his opponent, the Grand Priest made the arrangements.
"Since Lin Chuan has confirmed his opponent, then I ask the Angel of Universe 9 to come to the arena. The remaining Angels, return to the spectator areas. The rules of this battle will be the same as those of the Tournament of Power." The Grand Priest gave his instructions verbally.
As the Grand Priest's proclamation rang out, the Angels floating in front of the spectator area returned one after another to their respective universe's spectator areas.
Angel Mojito of Universe 9 descended onto the arena.
An evil smile hung on his face as he recklessly sized up Lin Chuan, as if in his eyes, Lin Chuan was nothing more than a slightly stronger toy.
"Do you have any objections to the rules?" the Grand Priest asked.
It was merely a casual sentence, yet it brought with it an irresistible sense of pressure.
This was the Grand Priest, the supreme existence standing at the pinnacle of this world!
"I have no objections whatsoever, Grand Priest. As for him, I actually think the rules can be changed. The more favorable they are to him, the better. Otherwise, if I exert even a little strength, I might leave him without a corpse." Angel Mojito's face was filled with a chilling smile, killing intent surging in his eyes, his words filled with contempt for Lin Chuan.
As an Angel, an existence transcending all things, he was so self-important, so arrogant.
"Hmph...Since you've put it that way, how could I possibly refuse? In my opinion, this battle doesn't need too many restrictions. Regardless of life or death, let each side rely on their own abilities. How about it?" Lin Chuan did not indulge Mojito either. The sparks between their words already foreshadowed just how intense the upcoming battle would be.
Lin Chuan's words reached everyone's ears, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
They admired Lin Chuan's courage and boldness. After all, this was the first time in history that anyone had proposed a battle to the death against an Angel.
"Overestimating yourself. Do you think that winning the Tournament of Power means you can contend with an Angel? What an irredeemably foolish fool. Since you are seeking your own death, how could Lord Angel possibly refuse you?!" Upon learning of this, Universe 9's Supreme Kai, Roh, was delighted.
When Universe 9 had been eliminated earlier, his resentment toward Lin Chuan had already reached its peak. Even after Lin Chuan restored all the universes in the end, that resentment still remained.
He could not wait for someone to execute Lin Chuan. That way, not only could Universe 9 wash away its humiliation, it could also weaken the overall level of Universe 7 to the greatest extent.
Beside him, God of Destruction Sidra remained silent. Although he also wanted to see Lin Chuan get executed by an Angel because of his arrogance, things seemed far from as simple as he had imagined.
He had an ominous feeling.
Lin Chuan dared to speak to an Angel like this, so he must have an even greater trump card. Based on his understanding of Lin Chuan, this Saiyan absolutely would not make a move without a chance of victory.
At the same time, everyone from Universe 7 was worried for Lin Chuan.
What exactly was Lin Chuan trying to do?!
A life-or-death battle against an Angel, such a battle where there was a nine-in-ten chance of death...This kid really dared to say it!
That was an Angel!!
An existence that surpassed Gods and stood at the pinnacle of all things. What Lin Chuan was doing was no different from seeking his own death.
However, Son Goku, Vegeta, and Raditz, all Saiyans, immediately understood Lin Chuan's intentions.
Lin Chuan definitely wasn't saying this simply to show off. What he was doing was probably using this life-or-death battle to temper himself.
He was probably trying to break through to an even higher realm.
...
On the arena.
The atmosphere became increasingly heavy, as a tense, thrilling, and extremely oppressive feeling rapidly spread.
"Heh heh heh...Hahahaha!!! As expected of the champion of the Tournament of Power. Facing an Angel, you actually dare to propose a no-rules deathmatch. Should I say your courage is commendable, or that you are foolish beyond belief? I'll tell you the truth. Whether you bring out Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego, neither will be able to withstand a single blow from me. If I want to kill you, all it takes is a single thought." Angel Mojito burst into loud laughter, constantly mocking Lin Chuan's weakness and incompetence.
In his view, Lin Chuan wanting to rival an Angel? What a fool's dream!
"You think you can kill me whenever you want? Very well. I'll wait and see." Lin Chuan folded his arms across his chest, the smile on his face becoming even more pronounced.
The atmosphere had already reached the point where only one of them could survive, yet the Grand Priest did not seem to mind!
After exchanging a glance with Zeno and confirming that the match could begin, he smiled faintly, then slowly floated into the air and returned to the Void Arena.
"The match begins!"
As his words fell, the Grand Priest officially announced the start of this battle between an Angel and a Saiyan.
At the same time, Lin Chuan released all of his power. Super Saiyan 5 · God Ultimate · Ultra Instinct state went into full power, and thirteenth-dimensional power erupted.
"Quite an astonishing aura, but compared to an Angel, it's still far from enough, Saiyan." Angel Mojito said without the slightest concern.
Lin Chuan was the faint light of a candle, while he was a storm capable of overturning the entire world.
"Spatial Slash!" His aura erupted to its peak. Lin Chuan activated the power of the Law of Space and casually waved his hand.
In an instant, the space around Mojito distorted, and countless slashes formed from space attacked Mojito from every direction.
"This level of spatial power, and you actually have the nerve to use it against me, an Angel? Utterly boring." Mojito smiled faintly. Invisible Angel Power erupted, instantly freezing all the spatial slashes from every direction in place before annihilating them in an instant.
