Hearing the other party's words and seeing them fuse, the corners of Goku's mouth rose slightly.
He had no intention of stopping them. On the contrary, he began looking forward to it.
Kuri and Eric's individual strength was not too strong. At least compared to him in Ultra Instinct state, the gap was far too great.
But if they used the Potara earrings, what level would their strength reach?
If they could become stronger than Black-Gold Metal Cooler... then to him, he could not ask for more!
'Buzz~~!!!!!'
As the golden Potara earrings resonated, Kuri and Eric's bodies collided together.
In an instant, an incomparably brilliant and dazzling energy pillar rose from the ground, stirring the chaos of the World of Void.
The warriors in all battle zones, as well as those eliminated contestants, focused their gazes on this light at the same time.
When that light powerful enough to stir chaos dispersed, under everyone's attention, Universe 12's fused warrior was born.
The fused warrior of Kuri and Eric, Eriku!!!
Before fusing, the strength of the two ranged from the late Eighth Dimension to the early Ninth Dimension.
After fusing, the born Eriku's battle power was so powerful that it directly reached the peak of the Ninth Dimension! It was even Tenth Dimensional Level!
"Now~! Let me be your opponent." Eriku's double demonic voice rang out, his words carrying boundless confidence.
Hearing this, Goku became slightly more focused. His eyes sized Eriku up and down, the corners of his mouth rising into a confident smile as he said, "Your power did indeed increase a lot after fusion, but if it's only at this level, you're still far from being my opponent."
Confidence, even arrogance, but also fact.
Goku, who had brought out his true ability, possessed strength beyond imagination.
If this were the original Tournament of Power, he would even be enough to easily suppress Jiren.
The terrifying battle power increase of Ultra Instinct · Perfected placed him at the Eleventh Dimension decillion unit that only Gods of Destruction could reach.
Eriku, who was only at the peak of the Ninth Dimension to the Tenth Dimensional Level, was still not enough in front of him.
"Oh? Are you truly certain I can't beat you? Open your eyes wide and look clearly at just how strong I am?!" Eriku grinned, and a faint purple light flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterward, a power that made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts surged out from within his body. Purple light bloomed around him, and powerful divine pressure soared into the sky.
Directly above Eriku, chaos pulsed, and countless golden bolts of lightning descended from the sky, whipping around his body.
"This feeling... The power of a God of Destruction?!" Seeing this scene, Goku's pupils shrank slightly.
He was no stranger to the power of a God of Destruction. After all, Vegeta had mastered this power back then, and he had also fought Beerus.
He was only surprised that here, he would actually fight ahead of time against an opponent who was not a God of Destruction, yet had mastered God of Destruction Power.
Being able to fight a God of Destruction ahead of time was perfect for allowing him to gain some experience, and then deal with those veteran Gods of Destruction.
"Haaaaaaaaah!!!!" Eriku shouted loudly, and the God of Destruction Power hidden within his body was completely activated at this moment.
Because of the God of Destruction Power, his body swelled to nearly three meters. The black bodysuit on him was also burst apart by his explosively growing muscles, revealing massive muscles even tougher than steel.
On his chest, a special rune emitting purple luster appeared.
That was the mark of God of Destruction Power!
At this moment, Eriku's battle power surged to an extremely terrifying level. Just in terms of aura, he was not inferior to Goku, who was currently at full power.
"How does it feel? Goku." Eriku grinned, his smile playful and cruel.
"Thiis tense feeling, and this impact... Indeed, amazing!" The shock on Goku's face transformed into excitement, and burning fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
Facing a powerful enemy, Saiyans would only become more excited and would never have any thought of retreat.
Eriku's powerful battle power allowed Goku to see the height he could reach next.
As long as he defeated this guy, his strength would rise by another level.
...
Universe 12's spectator area.
Bojack and Hatchiyack were shocked by this towering God of Destruction Power, unable to believe it.
They had thought that aside from them, the other contestants of Universe 12 were nothing more than a group of trash.
They had not expected God of Destruction Giin to have hidden such a hand!
[That damn guy has always treated us as chess pieces to use. Don't think you can stand high above just because you're a God of Destruction.] Black-Gold Metal Cooler also recovered at this time.
After his metal body was fully repaired, his power had further improved.
Martinu's attitude toward him earlier had already planted the seeds of hatred toward gods and angels in his heart.
Unlike Frieza, who was sinister and arrogant, Cooler's threat was clearly greater. He would not show his emotions on his face, nor would he leak any targeted aura.
But as long as the other party exposed even the slightest opening, he would use everything he had to launch a fatal strike.
Gods and angels treated them as chess pieces, ants that could be destroyed at will.
He, Cooler, would not always remain beneath others. Once the time was right, it would be time for his revenge.
However, Metal Cooler did not know that even if he hid it well, this thought still could not escape the eyes of an angel.
After Martinu sensed Metal Cooler's abnormality, she communicated with God of Destruction Giin through thought.
But God of Destruction Giin did not care at all. Metal Cooler was nothing more than an ant and could not stir up much of a storm. This occasion was also not suitable for taking destructive action.
They would deal with him after the competition ended.
...
Universe 5's spectator area.
God of Destruction Arak watched the pure God of Destruction Power on the arena. After sensing it briefly, he reached a conclusion.
"A single contestant cannot maximize the power of a God of Destruction, so that guy Giin had them use Potara earrings to fuse. Hmph!" Arak said disdainfully.
Although something like Potara earrings could allow two people to fuse into a powerful warrior, that was something only the weak would do.
True powerhouses never disdained using external objects to improve the strength of their universe's warriors.
From this, one could see just how conceited and arrogant Arak was.
"Though that is true, after fusing through Potara earrings, his mastery of the power of destruction has become even more proficient. With power of this level, it is not impossible to win against Goku from Universe 7," Supreme Kai Ogma replied.
As a Supreme Kai, he knew very well how effective Potara earrings were. Moreover, the Potara earrings Giin gave those two contestants were completely different from ordinary Potara earrings.
Not only was the fusion effect more perfect, even the increase in battle power was even more terrifying.
"Using Potara earrings has already violated the rules of the Tournament of Power. Now it depends on how Lord Zeno decides." Angel Cukatail said meaningfully.
These words reminded God of Destruction Arak and Supreme Kai Ogma.
The two gods simultaneously revealed sinister smiles. What they hoped for was naturally for Universe 12's fused warrior Eriku to be eliminated for violating the rules.
In this way, there would be one less threat.
...
Universe 1's spectator area.
"Those two contestants from Universe 12 have quite remarkable mastery of destruction power after fusing," Supreme Kai Anato judged.
It sounded like he was praising the other party's strength, but after thinking carefully, it would feel like this guy was completely speaking sarcastically.
"I thought that guy Giin had found some decent God of Destruction candidates. Now it seems I thought too much. They need two people to fuse before they can unleash the power of destruction. Tsk~!" God of Destruction Iwne was slightly contemptuous of this.
Since when had the power of a God of Destruction become so cheap?
They still needed two people to fuse before they could unleash it. His Universe 1, as the supreme universe, had no need to borrow little tricks like external objects.
"On this arena, there is more than one God of Destruction." Angel Awamo said meaningfully.
...
Universe 11's side.
"The power of destruction? They need two people to use it together. How embarrassing. Looks like that guy Giin's eyesight isn't much. This kind of trash is worthy of mastering the power of destruction?" God of Destruction Belmod sneered at this.
Their Universe 11's mortal level was already very high. Compared to Universe 12, they were only slightly behind.
Moreover, their universe also had a Candidate God of Destruction, and he was confident that after his training, Toppo could erupt with destruction far stronger than this fused warrior Eriku!
"Another exciting battle." Angel Marcarita chuckled.
"The warriors of the other universes are all fighting each other to the death. Keep fighting. The one left at the end will surely be Universe 11." Supreme Kai Kai chuckled.
...
Universe 7's spectator area.
After Tien Shinhan and Krillin sensed this terrifying God of Destruction Power, they were worried for Goku.
Even the current Goku might not find it that easy to deal with this terrifying God of Destruction Power.
"The power of destruction... That guy Giin actually still kept this hand." God of Destruction Beerus's expression became extremely ugly.
Just this blooming God of Destruction might alone had already reached the realm of veteran Gods of Destruction like them.
Although it was far inferior to him, with this strength, it would not be that easy for Goku to defeat him.
However, when he thought that this fused warrior was born through Potara earrings, he no longer cared that much.
"If they were only ordinary Potara earrings, the power increase after fusion should not be this strong..." Angel Whis muttered to himself, his gaze looking toward Zeno above.
The appearance of Potara earrings had already violated the rules originally set. How would Lord Zeno decide?
...
On the supreme throne.
"They fused! They fused! So exciting, so interesting. What will the next battle be like? Can Goku win?!" At this moment, Zeno was already completely immersed in the excitement brought by the fused warrior and Goku.
Zeno's expectation for this battle was seen by the Grand Priest, and he immediately declared, "According to Lord Zeno's will, Potara earrings may be used in the competition."
As the Grand Priest's declaration rang out, the Gods of Destruction in the spectator area who had been preparing to watch a good show were immediately stunned.
This was somewhat different from what they had imagined!
Shouldn't Universe 12's fused warrior be eliminated because he violated the rules of the competition?
How did it suddenly become something that could be used?
If it could be used, then they would have prepared them too.
As the Grand Priest's declaration rang out, Universe 6's God of Destruction Champa actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Because long before the Tournament of Power began, he had secretly given Potara earrings to his own universe's contestants as a secret method.
He had originally planned to use them secretly, but who could have imagined that the Grand Priest would directly declare that Potara earrings could be used in the competition. This also allowed his suspended heart to settle down.
...
On the arena.
Lin Chuan watched Universe 12's battle zone. After observing for a while, he reached a conclusion.
"In order to display the power of their universe's warriors in the Tournament of Power, even the angel secretly acted? The fusion effect of these Potara earrings is far above ordinary Potara earrings." Lin Chuan saw through the secret hidden in these Potara earrings.
Ordinary Potara earrings stacked the users' power and then amplified it a hundredfold, thus maximizing both sides' power.
But the Potara earrings used by those two guys from Universe 12 were different.
They contained the power of an angel. After the users' power was stacked, it would be amplified to the extreme. Judging from this surging energy, this increase was probably no less than ten thousandfold.
Adding the enhancement of God of Destruction Power, they could briefly possess Eleventh Dimensional Level power. The only question was how long this power could last.
"Kakarot, your true test has begun. Only by defeating that guy will you have the qualification to face a God of Destruction." Lin Chuan crossed his arms and seriously watched this battle.
At the same time, other powerful existences on the arena also held their breath and focused, watching this focal battle.
Goku VS Candidate God of Destruction · Eriku!!
...
On the main battlefield.
Goku stood ready, fully focused as he stared at Eriku, who had transformed into a God of Destruction not far ahead of him, becoming fully alert.
"Facing the current me, do you still have the courage to attack? Goku, you are indeed very strong, but before the power of a God of Destruction, your power is not worth mentioning." Eriku's confidence was overflowing.
Having mastered destruction, he considered himself invincible under heaven. Aside from some veteran Gods of Destruction, he did not put anyone in his eyes.
But he did not know that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well. So what if he could temporarily unleash Eleventh Dimensional Level power?
There were no small number of existences on this arena who could suppress him.
"Is that so?" Goku smiled slightly and raised his hand, firing several energy blasts at Eriku.
Facing these energy blasts with extremely powerful destructive force, Eriku neither dodged nor evaded. He just stood in place. When these energy blasts hit him, an unbelievable scene occurred before everyone's eyes.
When these energy blasts touched the God of Destruction Power around his body, they were erased on the spot, turning into countless energy particles that scattered through space.
