Facing Vegeta's renewed attack, Jiren's expression remained indifferent, his aura heavy.
That gaze, filled with contempt for everything, was as if he were looking at an insignificant little bug, not taking Vegeta's attack seriously at all.
Vegeta naturally noticed the contempt in Jiren's eyes, a situation that made his erupting God Power even more powerful, determined to make Jiren pay a painful price.
Just as he reached Jiren, time and space seemed to freeze together.
In Jiren's huge eyes, a deep Red Light flashed, and in an instant, a continuous stream of devastating blows struck Vegeta.
'*Rumble!*' Accompanied by a heart-stopping roar that exploded in space, the Godly Power around Vegeta dissipated, and he was instantly sent flying, crushing the protruding Super Katchin Steel Rock Pillar into powder.
"D-Damn it... What... What's going on..." Vegeta trembled uncontrollably, the intense pain emanating from his body making him think it was about to shatter.
His mind kept replaying what had happened the moment he got close.
That guy... launched countless attacks in an instant, so fast that I couldn't react at all. Vegeta gritted his teeth, anger surging in his heart, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.
But more than that, he felt helpless.
...
At the same time, everyone on the Seventh Universe side noticed Vegeta's miserable state.
"Vegeta... what exactly happened just now?!" Son Goku looked horrified, never expecting that Vegeta, whose strength was on par with his, and even a little stronger in the same form, would be suppressed to such a state.
Jiren, that guy, is terrifyingly strong!
"I can't see what that guy did at all," Android 18 muttered in a deep voice from outside the battlefield.
"In that instant, he launched countless attacks, directly shattering Vegeta's protective energy," Android 17 calmly analyzed.
"Vegeta in Super Saiyan Deep Blue Zenith form doesn't even have the ability to resist in front of that guy? How terrifying is this guy?!" Piccolo exclaimed in horror.
He knew very well that if a powerhouse like Vegeta was suppressed so thoroughly, then even if Son Goku went up, the result would probably be the same.
Unless Son Goku used the Kaio-ken, the gap between their strengths could not be narrowed at all.
"It's okay, next is Dad, and even if Dad loses, there's still Uncle Talot," Son Gohan said with a heavy heart.
They, with insufficient strength, could only rely on them.
...
In the spectator seats.
God of Destruction Beerus and Angel Whis wore unsightly expressions after seeing Vegeta being suppressed so thoroughly by Jiren.
There were indeed powerhouses in other universes who were comparable to Gods of Destruction.
Fortunately, this time their Seventh Universe had an ace in the hole, with Talot, a super powerhouse from Other Spacetime World, to back them up.
"That guy can do this just by relying on his aura, I'm afraid no one but that kid can compete with him," Beerus sighed.
To be recognized by Beerus, the strongest God of Destruction, one could imagine how powerful Jiren was.
"He's completely different from any opponent we've encountered before, the feeling he gives... is unbelievably strong..." East Supreme Kai felt a chill down his spine, Jiren's power was something he had never seen before.
Such absolute, such extreme Battle Power even made him feel invincible.
"If I had to compare, it would only be a God of Destruction, or perhaps, he's already ahead," Angel Whis said, glancing meaningfully at the Eleventh Universe's spectator area.
The level Vegeta displayed was undoubtedly the peak level of a God of Destruction candidate, and only a true God of Destruction could suppress him.
The Destructive Power Jiren displayed had, without exaggeration, already surpassed Vermoud, the God of Destruction of the Eleventh Universe.
However, Vegeta had not truly lost yet, and it was too early to draw conclusions about the outcome of the battle.
As Vegeta's teacher, Whis knew better than anyone what state Vegeta was in at the moment.
Super Saiyan Deep Blue was not Vegeta's limit, and Vegeta needed an opportunity to complete his final breakthrough.
...
On the Eleventh Universe's spectator area side.
"As expected of Jiren, still that familiar power, I thought this Saiyan named Vegeta would be a bit tricky to deal with, but now it seems that we were completely overthinking it, this level of guy is nothing to Jiren," God of Destruction Vermoud said with extreme arrogance.
"That's true, but Jiren seems very concerned about that Saiyan named Talot, completely disrupting the plans we made earlier," King Kai agreed.
"We haven't seen Jiren fight seriously in a long time. This is a good opportunity to let those guys from other universes see how big the gap is between them and our Eleventh Universe." Angel Marcarita revealed a hint of conspiracy in her laughter.
This battle is of great significance to the participants from all universes present.
As long as they demonstrate the absolute power to defeat everything, the contestants from other universes will collapse without a fight. Winning this Tournament of Power will be easy.
...
On the stage of the World of Void.
The powerful Jiren stood on the stage, and the invisible aura emanating from him made anyone afraid to approach easily.
The heaven-defying strength he displayed suffocated countless onlookers.
After Jiren ruthlessly suppressed Vegeta, he glanced at Vegeta's position casually and whispered, "Perhaps I should praise you for making me use such a strong power. It's just right to use it as a warm-up exercise. If you know what's good for you, step down."
After speaking, Jiren turned around domineeringly and confronted Talot again.
However, his words, when they reached Vegeta's ears, completely ignited the anger in Vegeta's heart.
As the Saiyan Prince, his dignity was trampled on and worthless.
Enduring the pain, Vegeta struggled to stand up again. His face was gloomy, and the extinguished God Power erupted again.
Its terrifying power caused turmoil in all directions. The entire Tournament of Power stage, no!! The entire World of Void, was shaking under the impact of this God Power.
"Hmm?" After noticing the intensity of the God Power that Vegeta erupted, Jiren raised his eyebrows, then turned around arrogantly again to confront Vegeta.
At this moment, Vegeta had completely entered a state of great God Power eruption. Judging from this posture, he was going to gather all the God Power at one point, a desperate rhythm.
"You faceless bastard!! You've humiliated me time and time again!! If you have the ability, take this move head-on!!" Vegeta spread his hands wide, and God Power continuously converged towards the palms of his hands.
This powerful power made a look of surprise flash in Jiren's eyes.
Frankly speaking, the intensity of this move was unprecedented for him.
He didn't expect that this Saiyan named Vegeta could burst out with such a powerful energy.
"Come on!" Jiren still maintained his kingly posture of despising everything.
No matter how strong you are, I am definitely above you! No matter how powerful the energy Vegeta erupts, Jiren is confident that he can suppress it, so that they deeply understand what absolute strength disparity is.
Seeing that his conspiracy had succeeded, a cunning smile appeared on Vegeta's face. This was exactly what he wanted.
Since his ultimate move was reflected back by Masked Black Goku in the Future Timeline, he had improved some techniques, making the Destructive Power and penetration far more powerful than when it was usually used.
He didn't believe that Jiren could do better than Masked Black Goku!
"Take this!!" Vegeta quickly merged his hands, and a devastating golden lightning energy cannon took shape in his hands, and a sure-kill strike was about to be unleashed.
"Super Gamma Burst Flash!!" Vegeta let out a hysterical roar.
The devastating golden Destruction Light shot out from his hands with a bang, driving the power to destroy the world, and blasted towards Jiren.
"What?!" This Destruction Energy Beam coming head-on made a look of horror flash across Jiren's calm face.
Without caring so much, Jiren immediately crossed his arms in a defensive posture to resist the menacing golden Destruction Light.
'Rumble~~~!!!!' Accompanied by a deafening roar resounding through the space.
The entire arena was shaking, and the golden Destruction Light, enough to subvert everything, rushed out of the arena until it finally disappeared into the chaos of the World of Void.
Smoke filled the air, and dust flew.
All the contestants on the stage looked horrified, and even the Gods of Destruction and Angels in the viewing area were frightened by the terrifying Destructive Power displayed by Vegeta's sure-kill strike.
"Vegeta... succeeded?!" Son Goku was overjoyed and shocked by the terrifying Destructive Power released by Vegeta's sure-kill strike.
If he were to deal with this blow, if he was hit head-on, he would be seriously injured at least, and annihilated at worst.
In short, it was impossible for his strength to block it.
So, what was the result of Jiren being hit head-on by this move? This question was not only a concern for Son Goku, but also a concern for everyone.
As most of the smoke dissipated, Jiren's body loomed.
The Super Gamma Burst Flash just now did affect Jiren, knocking him to the ground.
"Hmph hmph... hahahaha~~!!" Vegeta let out a hysterical laugh. At this moment, he was so happy and so excited.
Success! His Super Gamma Burst Flash completed a challenge beyond his level, defeating Jiren head-on!! "Well done!! Vegeta!!" God of Destruction Beerus in the viewing area felt incredibly proud.
Although he wasn't his personally appointed God of Destruction candidate, the Battle Power Vegeta displayed qualified him to become a God of Destruction.
This also represented that the top strength of his Seventh Universe was far beyond what the contestants from ordinary universes could hope to match.
However, Angel Whis beside him remained silent.
In the eyes of others, Vegeta indeed defeated Jiren, but was the matter really that simple?
Obviously not.
"Impossible!! An attack of that level could never defeat Jiren!!" God of Destruction Vermoud, seeing this scene, almost went mad.
That move just now possessed extraordinary Destructive Power, which even he had to deal with seriously.
But now, Jiren was overturned to the ground because of it, even unconscious.
"Jiren... actually defeated... how is this possible?!" King Kai Kai found it hard to believe, feeling his breathing become difficult.
Because once Jiren fell, it meant that the Eleventh Universe had no hope.
"Lord Vermoud, the good show has only just begun, don't worry, don't worry!" Angel Marcarita revealed a mischievous smile.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the situation immediately took a turn.
Jiren, who should have been lying in the big pit, suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Hmm?!" Vegeta, who thought he had achieved victory, had the smile on his face abruptly stop.
Because Jiren had already instantly advanced to his front, and with a contemptuous kingly posture, looked down at him condescendingly.
In Jiren's left palm, an Energy Blast flickering with deep Red Light was pressed against Vegeta's stomach.
The terrifying power that it exuded invisibly made every cell in Vegeta's body tremble.
Because of the previous move, Vegeta's stamina and God Power consumption were extremely huge, coupled with Jiren's rapid advance, he simply didn't have time to use the remaining God Power in his body to defend.
"That move just now, the Destructive Power was indeed very good, but that's all it was." Jiren's deep voice fell.
Immediately afterwards, the deep Red Light Energy Blast in his hand rapidly expanded, engulfing Vegeta in one breath, and launching a comprehensive devastation.
Unimaginable pain swept through his body, Vegeta burst out with bursts of shrill screams, this heart-wrenching pain was gradually collapsing his final defense.
'Boom~~!!!' The Energy Blast exploded suddenly, and scorching fire suddenly rose from the ground.
In the center of this fire, Vegeta's eyes turned white, the Godly Power around him collapsed, and the Super Saiyan Deep Blue Zenith transformation could no longer be stabilized.
Vegeta seemed to have lost his self-awareness, and fell forward weakly.
His body had reached its limit, and his consciousness also fell into a slumber under Jiren's move.
Super Saiyan Deep Blue Zenith Vegeta... was so easily killed in one move by the powerful Jiren! "Fall! Being able to make me take you seriously is enough for you to be proud of." Jiren spoke coldly, then turned and walked towards Talot's location without looking back.
In his opinion, the outcome of this battle could no longer change.
Vegeta had already lost, there was no miracle to speak of.
If it weren't for the fact that this Tournament of Power didn't allow killing, Vegeta would already be dead.
But as a warm-up opponent, Vegeta's strength did surprise him.
