powerful battle power Goku currently possessed had already made certain high and mighty gods feel threatened.
"As expected, Ultra Instinct, and it directly reached Perfected! As expected of you!" Lin Chuan gazed at Goku, whose form had stabilized, and through the system's ability, he saw Goku's current battle power index.
The current Goku, under the enhancement of Ultra Instinct · Perfected, had already reached a terrifying battle power of 40 decillion.
Eleventh Dimensional Level!
With this strength, looking across the entire arena, only a handful of people could fight him.
Without any accidents, Black-Gold Metal Cooler should be eliminated by Goku.
[Those two guys should be Giin's final trump card, right? There is quite deep and powerful God of Destruction Power inside their bodies. Two Candidate Gods of Destruction?] Lin Chuan's sharp perception instantly saw through the secret of Universe 12's contestants Kuri and Eric.
Universe 12 had two Candidate Gods of Destruction!
However, with their battle power, even if they used God of Destruction Power to transform into Gods of Destruction, they would not be able to stir up any major waves. At most, they would reach around the same realm as Black-Gold Metal Cooler.
Before Goku, who had now stepped into the Eleventh Dimensional Level, they were like ants.
The only question was how long Goku could maintain this realm.
...
On the other side of the arena.
Vegeta was watching Goku's battle zone.
The appearance of Ultra Instinct and this powerful battle power made him feel threatened.
"This power is pretty good, Kakarot. You finally caught up." After remaining silent for a while, Vegeta murmured.
These words were equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Goku's current strength.
Although he did not know what kind of state Goku had entered now, what could be confirmed was that even if he faced him, he would not be easy to deal with.
...
On Gohan and Piccolo's side.
The two stood on a giant rock, gazing at Goku's battlefield in the distance.
The light erupted by Ultra Instinct · Perfected was dazzling beyond measure.
It even made them recall the scene back then when Lin Chuan fought God of Destruction Beerus.
"Dad in this state is different from before. It's not just that his strength has increased..." Gohan sensed the very peculiar change on Goku's body at this moment.
In his mind, he recalled the scene just now where Goku attacked in an instant and knocked back Black-Gold Metal Cooler.
The countless attacks launched in that instant had no warning at all.
"That's right. The current Goku is no longer simply limited to being strong. His body seems to have entered some special state, and there's also that scorching heat he keeps emitting..." Piccolo stared at Goku and said meaningfully.
With his insight, he could naturally see Goku's changes.
It was just that he could not completely confirm that this was Ultra Instinct.
...
On Raditz's side.
As Goku's older brother, Raditz knew everything about Goku, including Ultra Instinct.
"When we were training back then, you still hadn't completely mastered this power. Looks like because of the battle with that guy, you broke through the bottleneck and completely mastered this move." As his older brother, Raditz was very satisfied with Goku's breakthrough this time.
In the current situation, eliminating Universe 12 should not be a problem.
He just did not know exactly how strong Universe 12's God of Destruction was.
Very quickly, Raditz threw all these matters to the back of his mind.
Since his younger brother was about to complete the great feat of eliminating an entire universe, he was not willing to fall behind.
It was time to show the entire universe his powerful strength.
...
Universe 11's battlefield.
The divine might erupted by Goku drew the attention of the three giants, Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo.
Jiren, who stood at the front, remained expressionless, but in his heart, he acknowledged Goku's power.
This powerful divine might had truly shocked him. He was indeed worthy of being a warrior whom Toppo had mentioned specifically. He had some strength.
But that was all.
"That guy Goku... actually hid this much... Hmph!!" Toppo could not help but recall the scene from the preliminary battle.
Goku, whom he had fought when he forcefully stepped forward, had only been testing him, but the combat ability Goku had shown back then was completely different from now.
He had hidden far too much.
"Just as we guessed before the battle, the battle power of every person from Universe 7 is extremely troublesome. We cannot rashly clash with them." Dyspo muttered to himself.
This kind of realm had already exceeded the range he could handle. Looking across all of Universe 11, the only one who could fight him was probably Jiren.
However, Jiren could not act casually. Leaving aside the fact that the God of Destruction would enter after all contestants were eliminated, on this arena, there were probably many guys pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, waiting for someone to take the bait.
Preserving stamina was the best choice.
...
At the very top of the arena.
Zeno was attracted by the dazzling divine light emitted from Goku.
"Goku from Universe 7 is also so amazing. This light is so dazzling and so exciting." Zeno cheered excitedly. The excitement of this Tournament of Power had far exceeded his imagination.
The current Zeno had already been completely interested and was immersed in it, unable to pull himself away.
The two Zeno Guards beside him glanced at each other, then continued calmly watching the battle.
For Goku to reach this point was indeed worthy of praise, but that was all.
The true main event would be the divine battle that happened after all contestants were eliminated.
...
Around the spectator areas surrounding the massive spinning-top arena of the Tournament of Power.
God of Destruction Beerus watched Goku, who was blooming with silver light on the arena, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. He praised, "That brat Goku finally reached this step."
"Yes, Lord Beerus. From the current situation, reaching this step can be considered smooth. Ultra Instinct, Goku can already use it freely." Whis replied with a smile.
These words entered the ears of the nearby Gods of Destruction and angels, causing the gods to be surprised.
Ultra Instinct, the divine technique that even they, the Gods of Destruction, found difficult to master.
Unexpectedly, it had actually been completed by a mere Goku.
However, although the gods were surprised, they did not act too exaggerated.
Although Goku was powerful, that was all there was to it, and he was not currently fighting their universe.
If all of Universe 12's members were eliminated, God of Destruction Giin would also take action.
With his strength, suppressing Goku should not be impossible.
God of Destruction Beerus's proud gaze swept across the gods in the spectator area.
These guys had all been quite shocked by the ability Goku had displayed.
At this moment, Beerus felt secretly pleased and extremely proud.
But when he noticed the expressionless and unusually steady God of Destruction Giin, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Something was wrong!
Extremely wrong.
That guy Giin was too calm. So calm it made one feel creeped out.
[That guy doesn't still have some trump card, does he?] Beerus thought.
He did not know much about Giin. This guy's style of doing things was as mysterious and unpredictable as Iwne's.
After calming himself down, God of Destruction Beerus continued focusing his attention on Goku.
He wanted to see exactly what that guy Giin was planning.
No matter what, his universe had Lin Chuan as the final trump card. He was fearless!
...
On the arena.
Goku was standing with the posture of a victor, looking at Black-Gold Metal Cooler not far away.
A gap had already opened in terms of strength, and Black-Gold Metal Cooler could no longer enter his eyes.
Even if Black-Gold Metal Cooler's recovery ability was very powerful, under absolute strength, these were merely useless small tricks.
Very quickly, Black-Gold Metal Cooler adjusted his state, and all injuries on his metal body were rapidly repaired.
"Wild monkey!!" Black-Gold Metal Cooler, furious, suddenly turned and locked onto Goku's position.
His hands waved rapidly. In an instant, countless Death Beams shot violently from his hands and attacked Goku at high speed.
"It's useless. The height I stand at now far surpasses you."
If it were Goku in the state of Super Saiyan Blue · Third Stage · God Ultimate, facing this kind of dense offensive, he could only defend passively.
The current Goku was already completely different from before.
Under the enhancement of Ultra Instinct · Perfected, he did not need to think. His body reacted on its own, avoiding Black-Gold Metal Cooler's attacks with extremely elegant and perfect movements.
At the same time, his hands began condensing energy as he approached Black-Gold Metal Cooler at an extremely fast speed.
"Don't get too carried away, wild monkey!!!" Black-Gold Metal Cooler immediately felt humiliated. Goku was toying with him.
Furious, his black-gold aura underwent explosive growth. His eyes locked onto Goku's position, and a Destruction Cannon was fired forcefully.
A super energy pillar with a diameter of over a hundred meters broke through space and charged straight toward Goku.
The next second, an unbelievable scene occurred before everyone's eyes. Goku leaped forward, and the Kamehameha in his hands scraped against Black-Gold Metal Cooler's Destruction Cannon as he descended before Black-Gold Metal Cooler.
"What?!!!" Black-Gold Metal Cooler was dumbfounded. He never expected Goku to close in this way.
In this situation, even if he wanted to counterattack, he was powerless.
"It's over." Goku spoke. He pushed both hands forward, and a blue energy pillar shot violently from his palms, instantly swallowing Black-Gold Metal Cooler's body.
In just a few short seconds, Black-Gold Metal Cooler was directly eliminated.
After being teleported back to the spectator seats, he had already become a pile of scrap metal. Although he was still alive, recovering would not be that easy.
Bojack and Hatchiyack looked at the nearly scrapped Metal Cooler and felt incredulous.
This guy's battle power was this strong, yet he was nearly beaten to death by Goku. If this had been a life-or-death battle, they probably would have all been beaten into cripples long ago.
"I remember your recovery ability seems pretty good. Since that's the case, I won't restore you." Angel Martinu glanced at Metal Cooler with a disgusted expression and had no intention of restoring him.
These chess pieces from other space-time worlds, if they were ruined, then so be it.
God of Destruction Giin looked at Metal Cooler, who had already turned into scrap iron, and no emotional fluctuation could be seen in his cold blood-colored pupils.
This chess piece no longer had any value to use.
In the end, they still had to rely on the warriors of their own universe to turn the tide.
He admitted that Goku was very strong, but it was not as if there was no way to deal with him.
God of Destruction Giin closed his eyes. Through telepathy, he communicated with Kuri and Eric on the arena.
...
At the same time, on the arena.
Universe 12's only remaining contestants, Kuri and Eric, were also quite frightened after witnessing the powerful battle power Goku displayed in the state of Ultra Instinct · Perfected.
This power had already exceeded the range of their understanding.
They could not help but question themselves inwardly. Even if they used their final trump card, could they really win?
[Kuri, Eric.] God of Destruction Giin's voice sounded in their minds.
"Lord Giin?!" Kuri exclaimed.
"Lord Giin, this Goku is far too strong. Even if we use our final trump card, I'm afraid..." Eric said with extreme dejection.
[You two are warriors this God has taken a liking to. How could you be inferior to a mere Goku? Cast aside those thoughts that sway you and let that Saiyan from Universe 7 witness your power. Cast aside all distracting thoughts and fight without hesitation. Even if you lose, this God is still here.] God of Destruction Giin encouraged the two warriors through telepathy.
After receiving Giin's encouragement, Kuri and Eric's eyes gradually became firm.
Lord Giin was right. They represented the dignity of Universe 12. If they lost without fighting, that would be far too shameful.
Even if Goku's strength was very powerful, they had to fight until the final moment, or even defeat Goku.
Kuri and Eric, who had figured it out, gradually had firm gazes. Their eyes turned and looked toward the same place.
Not far away, the silver-haired Goku was silently watching them.
"It's useless. With just the two of you, you can't beat me." Just the impact carried in Goku's words caused Kuri and Eric's minds to suffer no small shock.
"Although I knew this guy's strength was very powerful, the feeling of facing him personally is completely different." Kuri took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart.
"At this point, we can only use that thing, Kuri." Eric's gaze was firm. He took out a golden Potara earring from his waist.
"The time has come. For Universe 12." Kuri also took out a golden Potara earring from his waist.
Seeing their earrings, Goku felt they looked somewhat familiar. After looking carefully, he already knew what they were going to do.
"Potara earrings! Fusion?!!" The memories in his mind were awakened, and Goku's expression grew a little more solemn.
He had not personally tried how powerful the effect of the Potara earrings was, but he knew a little.
Moreover, this pair of golden Potara earrings looked very special.
Goku sensed an extremely special power from them. That power was something his current level could not touch.
"So you know about Potara earrings. Then we don't need to explain." Kuri sneered and put on the golden Potara earring in his hand.
"Goku from Universe 7, the time for you to be eliminated has come!" Eric also put on the Potara earring.
