Over in Universe 6.
After Lin Chuan returned to completeness, the power he unleashed filled Caulifla, Kale, and Cabba with fervent longing.
This was their Master, an existence powerful enough to rival an Angel.
"I'm finding it harder and harder to see through this guy. It's really annoying..." Champa's brows twitched violently, his emotions extremely complicated.
He had originally accepted his defeat and acknowledged Lin Chuan's strength.
But now that he learned he had merely been defeated by half of Lin Chuan, Champa was extremely frustrated.
Damn it, just half of him had defeated eleven Gods of Destruction. How could they, the Gods of Destruction, maintain any dignity in calling themselves supreme existences in the future?
"My, my, my~~! Actually, even I can't see through little Lin Chuan anymore." Angel Vados smiled brightly as she joined in.
She was very pleasantly surprised by Lin Chuan's growth.
However, Angel Mojito was an Angel after all. Even if his strength ranked toward the lower end among the twelve Angels, he was still not someone who could be dealt with easily.
Unless Lin Chuan could advance another step and reach an even higher dimension.
...
Elsewhere.
The Universe 7 spectator area was unusually quiet.
Everyone had been deeply convinced by Lin Chuan's powerful strength after becoming complete.
They seemed to have witnessed the true pinnacle, a realm they might never be able to touch even after exhausting their entire lives.
God of Destruction Beerus took a deep breath and was the first to recover. He shifted his gaze toward Whis and asked, "Whis, you actually knew about this long ago, right? This kid was a clone when he participated in the Tournament of Power, and only now has he returned to completeness."
"Hehehe~! Yes, Lord Beerus. But he can't really be considered a clone, because the Lin Chuan who participated in the tournament was also the main body." Whis did not conceal the truth and told Beerus what had happened.
"Why didn't you tell me at the very beginning of the tournament?!" Beerus asked somewhat anxiously.
Such a major matter, yet he, the God of Destruction, hadn't known about it. Lin Chuan was indeed very powerful, but sending only half of himself to participate in the Tournament of Power was too risky.
Moreover, if it caused Lord Zeno or the Grand Priest to become displeased, they would be finished.
Actually, although Beerus thought this way with the bigger picture in mind, he was simply overthinking it.
It wasn't only Whis who had discovered that Lin Chuan was only half of himself. All the Angels, including the Grand Priest, had actually known long ago.
They had tacitly allowed half of Lin Chuan to participate in the tournament because the rules did not prohibit it.
"Well, you could say this was also the Grand Priest's intention." Whis simply shifted the blame onto the Grand Priest.
With such a shield, no one could say anything else.
Upon learning that the Grand Priest knew about it, Beerus immediately fell silent, the corners of his mouth twitching. Although he still had plenty of dissatisfaction in his heart, he could only forcibly swallow it down.
What could he do?
No matter how unhappy he was, he could only hold it in.
"Forget it. It's already like this, so let's continue watching the battle." Beerus looked toward the battlefield.
The battle between Lin Chuan, now complete, and Mojito would become even more intense.
Although he didn't know exactly how powerful this Angel Mojito was, he knew one thing: as an Angel, his strength definitely went far beyond what he had just displayed.
He only hoped Lin Chuan could fight for a while longer. He didn't expect him to win. As long as he could preserve his dignity, that would be enough.
...
In the void of the Null Realm.
Lin Chuan and Mojito faced each other. Their invisible auras collided, causing the surrounding space to undergo terrifying distortions. The Chaos of the Null Realm fluctuated, and the atmosphere was torn apart.
The entire world trembled faintly.
Lin Chuan stood ready, searching for an opening in Mojito's defenses and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Mojito, meanwhile, stood there with a look of arrogance.
In his view, although Lin Chuan had returned to completeness and his strength was not weak, it still couldn't change the fact that he was merely a toy.
Without touching that realm, he was ultimately still an ant.
"Still not planning to attack first? Then I'll do it." Mojito smiled mockingly as he waved the Angel Staff in his hand.
In an instant, profound Angel Power transformed into a crescent-shaped blade of immense destructive power and attacked Lin Chuan.
This attack was incredibly fast, like a streak of dazzling light flashing past.
Even with the enhancement of Perfected Ultra Instinct, Lin Chuan still failed to completely evade this attack.
'Slash~!' The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, direct and unmistakable.
A bloody mark appeared on Lin Chuan's face. Blood flowed from the wound, turning into droplets that drifted through the space of the Null Realm.
After recovering his senses, Lin Chuan's nerves became highly tense. The Law of Chaos surged around his body as a killing move began to gather momentum.
At this moment, no one noticed that the droplets of blood he had shed disappeared without a trace before anyone realized it, and no one knew where they had gone.
"Your reaction speed isn't bad. It seems your mastery of Ultra Instinct has indeed reached a very high level. But how will you dodge this next move? I've already shown as much mercy as I possibly can." Mojito smiled mockingly as he tapped the space of the Null Realm with his Angel Staff, creating ripples one after another.
In an instant, the space around Lin Chuan was sealed and underwent drastic changes. In the blink of an eye, Spatial Blades from different directions launched thousands upon thousands of spatial cuts at Lin Chuan.
At the same time, Lin Chuan unleashed the power of the Law of Chaos, transforming it into a Chaos Barrier that neutralized all the Spatial Slashes.
"The defense of the Law of Chaos is ultimately limited. How will you defend against this move next?" Mojito rotated the staff in his hand, waved the Angel Staff, and lightly pointed it toward Lin Chuan again.
Profound Angel Power transformed into a destructive beam of light that shot through the void and killed its way forward, instantly shattering Lin Chuan's Chaos Barrier.
'Rumble~~~!!!!!' The destruction brought by Angel Power was immeasurable. Its sheer might caused the entire Null Realm to tremble.
Countless fragments of space drifted through the air. Even the reinforced Null Realm found it difficult to withstand the destructive shockwave produced by the explosion of Angel Power.
It wasn't only the Null Realm that was affected. Even the other spacetime worlds secretly observing the battle in the Null Realm were faintly affected.
Lin Chuan was swallowed by this terrifying explosion. Everyone in the spectator area became tense, staring without blinking at the dense explosion.
Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts. Some hoped Lin Chuan could reverse the situation, while others, both humans and Gods, hoped Lin Chuan would die in this explosion.
Of course, Lin Chuan wasn't someone who could be killed so easily.
Therefore, those who hoped for Lin Chuan's death would be disappointed.
The explosion caused by Angel Power was indeed terrifying, but it was not impossible to withstand.
With Lin Chuan's current level of strength, although he was still inferior to Mojito, he was already very close.
Lin Chuan was using Mojito as his target while also borrowing the pressure he brought to break through even further.
...
At the center of the explosion.
An incomparably dazzling sacred light began to shine.
Clearly, it was the power unleashed by Lin Chuan.
