"Looks like you discovered it long ago. But let me correct one thing. I am not a clone. I am also the main body. I merely separated the other half of myself and sent it out to cultivate." Lin Chuan smiled calmly, completely unflustered after his secret had been exposed.
This all had to be traced back to the new function that appeared when he tried upgrading the system to Level 13 a few days before the Tournament of Power.
When the system was upgraded to Level 13, a brand-new function appeared alongside it.
Sub-System!
Lin Chuan had also experimented with the Sub-System's functions. Thus, on the eve of the Tournament of Power, he separated the other half of himself and sent it to other spacetime worlds to cultivate with the Sub-System.
He was the main body, and the other half of him was also the main body.
At a thought from Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan in another spacetime world sensed this summons. The cultivating Lin Chuan directly transformed into pure energy, crossing time, crossing space, and crossing all barriers. With the return of the Sub-System, Lin Chuan became completely whole again.
[Ding!!! The Sub-System has returned.]
[Current System Level: Level 13.]
[Automatic AFK cultivation: Battle Power +1 Rang/second...]
[Stored Battle Power Index: 9331 Gou 4061 Rang 1798 Zi 7110 Gai 9525 Jing 9250 Zhao 600 Yi.]
...
At the same time, the Null Realm was enveloped by rays of seven-colored light. As everything returned to its source, a continuous stream of powerful energy erupted from within Lin Chuan's body.
"Haahhhhhhh!!!" The next second, a long roar burst from Lin Chuan's mouth.
Unparalleled energy surged out from his body like an erupting volcano.
The Super Saiyan 5 · God Ultimate · Ultra Instinct state continuously sublimated and transformed.
'Whoosh whoosh~~!!' The frenzied energy burned fiercely around Lin Chuan like an inexhaustible flame.
Lin Chuan's strength explosively increased, and his battle power value rapidly soared, soon reaching an extremely terrifying level.
Previously, with only half of himself, his battle power index had merely entered the thirteenth dimension at around 1 Zai.
Now that he had returned to completeness, his normal battle power had reached 100 Gou, and in the Super Saiyan 5 · God Ultimate · Ultra Instinct state, it had already reached 1000 Zai.
Compared to before, he had become a full thousand times stronger.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Now we can start again." Lin Chuan moved his limbs, a chilling light igniting in his eyes.
Just the invisible aura he released while standing there caused the entire Null Realm to tremble.
To be honest, after his other half had cultivated in another spacetime for so many years and suddenly merged back together, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
This explosively increasing energy felt like a dream, but it was a genuine increase in strength.
Although the return of the Sub-System brought a great deal of increased battle power, the strength gained through cultivation by his other half was the part that truly could not be underestimated.
"So that's how it is. This is your true power." Angel Mojito's eyes scanned Lin Chuan from head to toe. Although he had become much stronger, it was still within a range he could accept.
He still hadn't touched that realm. He was still an ant and posed no threat to him.
"Interesting, truly interesting..." A thick sense of amusement and madness flashed through Angel Mojito's eyes.
It seemed that this toy wouldn't break so easily and could accompany him in playing for a while longer.
Mojito's unrestrained gaze made Lin Chuan quite displeased.
[What an arrogant fool.]Lin Chuan secretly thought to himself while also considering how to deal with the next step.
...
On the Void Arena.
"Looks like our champion of the Tournament of Power has finally returned to his complete form. Reaching this level is worthy of praise, but with only this level of strength, you still cannot defeat an Angel." The Grand Priest stood at the highest point of the Null Realm, looking down at the battle that was about to erupt below.
Without touching that realm, no matter how strong Lin Chuan became, it would be impossible for him to have a chance of victory.
But his intuition told him that things were not that simple. Once the battle progressed to a certain point, Lin Chuan might still bring them an unexpected surprise.
Becoming the first human in history ever to...defeat an Angel!
...
On the Supreme Throne.
"So the one fighting just now was only half of Lin Chuan. Now that he has become complete, can he defeat an Angel?" Zeno's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
This was something unprecedented. Could Lin Chuan truly accomplish this earth-shattering feat?
On both sides of Zeno, his guards remained calm. The strength Lin Chuan displayed after becoming complete was indeed astonishing.
But unfortunately, he still hadn't touched that realm.
Those who failed to reach that realm were ultimately still ants.
...
At this moment, in the spectator area.
Apart from the remaining eleven Angels, the Gods and contestants had all exploded into an uproar.
The Lin Chuan who had previously been powerful enough to crush all of them to death was actually only half of himself.
The Lin Chuan before their eyes was Lin Chuan in his entirety. This strength was Lin Chuan's true full power.
"You've got to be kidding me?! The one who defeated all of us Gods of Destruction before was only half of himself...Damn it!!!" God of Destruction Belmod of Universe 11 was furious, blood vessels filling his eyes as his anger reached its peak.
If Lin Chuan's main body had defeated all eleven Gods of Destruction, he could have accepted it.
But now he learned that the one who had defeated eleven Gods of Destruction was merely half of himself...
Where was the dignity of the Gods of Destruction?!
[Lin Chuan!!]Beside Belmod, Jiren furrowed his brows tightly, his fists unconsciously clenching.
Learning that he too had been defeated by only half of Lin Chuan caused a subtle change in his mindset.
At present, the distance between himself and Lin Chuan was beyond his reach.
But the future was uncertain. As long as he could develop Ultimate Power to an even higher level, he would gain the qualifications to contend with Lin Chuan.
Perhaps he would also become the second human to challenge an Angel.
"Ah la la, he has finally returned to his complete form. The truly exciting battle is about to begin." Angel Marcarita was not surprised by this. Even before the Tournament of Power began, they had already noticed Lin Chuan's bold move.
Now that Lin Chuan had returned to completeness, it meant that the truly exciting part was about to unfold.
...
Over in Universe 10.
God of Destruction Liquiir had already been so shocked that he couldn't speak, his expression aggrieved as his mindset changed.
Beside him, Angel Cus smiled.
"Looks like little brother Mojito won't be able to win so easily this time. That Saiyan from Universe 7 is already very close to that realm." Cus said with a smile.
Regardless of whether Lin Chuan won or lost this battle today, he would be recorded in the King's History.
Perhaps even in the History of Reincarnation!
The Gods and Angels would all witness the rise of a supreme existence, and the Saiyan race would also be passed down through this world for all eternity because of Lin Chuan.
