Saitama's voice was not loud.
But in this quiet environment where the gods hold their breath and tense their nerves, it is almost no different from shouting with a loudspeaker.
Great Priest, God of Destruction, Angel...
Even the contestants in each universe clearly heard this conversation.
It has a different impact on everyone's heart.
to be honest.
There are definitely many people who are dissatisfied and angry about King Jeon's act of deciding whether to destroy the universe based on his own preferences. However, the power of the God of Destruction, who is the highest combat power in each universe, suppresses their anger deeply in their hearts. .
Don't dare to resist.
Although the God of Destruction is powerful, he understands the terror of the King better than ordinary people, and of course is even less likely to resist.
The angels have nothing to do with themselves, and even if the universe is destroyed, it will not affect them.
Standing in a detached position, watching with cold eyes.
Everyone was afraid of King Quan's power and moodiness. They knelt on the ground and didn't even have the courage to look up.
But now...
A self-proclaimed hero stood there.
He was unwilling to obey God's orders, let alone accept the fate arranged by God.
He may die soon.
but…
He had the courage to stand up and say no to humiliation and oppression.
And us...
The contestants from the Twelve Universes lowered their heads. Even if they were resentful, they did not dare to attract the attention of King Quan at this time, because King Quan would probably wipe out everyone present in a rage...
The Gods of Destruction were also stunned by this bold statement.
I was at a loss for a while.
The angels pretended not to hear anything and still smiled.
"What is that man talking about?"
King Quan pointed at Saitama and asked the high priest beside him.
Although he has the authority to destroy the universe, King Quan's hearing and vision are not very sharp.
He could only vaguely hear the man talking, and unlike others, the man did not kneel down to him, but was looking up at him, their eyes meeting each other.
"He said he was a hero."
The high priest clasped his hands behind his back and looked down at Saitama below: "And it seems that he wants to prevent you from destroying the failed universe, Lord Quanwang..."
"That's it."
King Quan asked with an indifferent look: "Then he is very powerful?"
"I can't sense his aura, Lord Quan Wang."
After saying that, the great priest asked in a loud voice toward Weiss below: "Weiss, is he a contestant from your seventh universe?"
Weiss leaned forward slightly: "Yes, Lord High Priest."
The high priest continued to ask: "Is he strong?"
Weiss rarely answered in a serious tone: "Much stronger than the God of Destruction, Lord High Priest."
"I see."
The high priest nodded: "I'm not such a strong man. I really don't have the confidence to say such things... But no matter what, Lord Quan Wang's will cannot be violated. It is not a good thing to overestimate yourself."
"I'm a little unhappy..."
Quanwang looked into Saitama's eyes and said indifferently: "It seems that I have seen such a nasty person before... I will kill him later, whether I win or not."
"I see."
After hearing this, the high priest raised his hand: "Now, please all the Gods of Destruction and Angels please leave the ring. The competition will begin immediately!"
…
Give an order.
All non-participants left the ring.
Before leaving, the Gods of Destruction specifically looked for Saitama to see what kind of guy he was who dared to anger the King.
But they only saw a raised cloak.
There is also the powerful word "justice" above!
…
The Tournament of Power begins!
Beerus followed Whis back to the auditorium in despair, covering his head and shaking all over, almost about to collapse.
"What on earth did I do..."
"How could I remember to bring this guy here..."
"Ruined… "
"Even if we win, Universe 7 may disappear..."
…
"Hey! Beerus!"
Xiangpa, who was sitting not far away, shouted: "You are so talented! How dare you bring a guy like that!"
Beerus didn't reply.
He just held his arms, shrugged his ears, and was covered in cold sweat.
"It seems that I am going to be an angel guide in another universe, Lord Beerus."
Whis sat next to Beerus holding the staff, his face still showing no joy or sorrow, with innate elegance: "I have had a great time getting along with you over the years, but I may have to say goodbye after today..."
“…”
Beerus didn't reply to Whis' half-truthful teasing.
After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "... I've been causing you trouble all this time, Weiss."
Whis was startled, not expecting Beerus to say such a thing.
Polite…
It was like he was giving his last words.
…
The battle in the ring is about to break out.
Because Weiss had just commented that Saitama was "far stronger than the God of Destruction", combatants from several universes began to join forces to attack him.
Although they admired him for daring to confront the cruel and ruthless King Quan, in the end, they still hoped that they could survive.
And if he wants to survive, he must first solve the most difficult problems, Saitama and Jiren!
That's right.
It was not only Saitama who enjoyed the beating treatment, but also the Pride Team of Universe 11.
Jiren's famous name is as thunderous even in other universes!
"Naive fool!"
After repelling a wave of attacks, Vegeta took the time to snort at Saitama: "Although I despise the dwarf above, but forget about the ridiculous idea of saving everyone! You also saw Oh, these guys you want to save not only don’t thank you, but are teaming up to attack you! What kind of heroes... it’s really disgusting!”
At the same time, Jiren also looked over here.
Jiren, who inherited his master's strength and sense of justice, has an extreme obsession with justice. He maintains the stability of the universe by himself.
But even he never thought of... saying no to King Quan.
Hearing Vegeta's question, he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Saitama's answer.
Justice, dedication...
Many words flashed through Jilian's mind, and various possible answers emerged one by one.
But…
"… so troublesome."
"???"
"I don't become a hero for anyone's gratitude, nor do I want to get anything..."
Saitama punched back and said expressionlessly: "Even if all the people in the universe are hopeless, no matter what, I am just acting out of serious interest..."
Having said this, Saitama paused slightly in his movements.
In my mind, a voice that had been buried for many years sounded again.
"Saitama-kun! You must remember!"
"It doesn't matter even if everyone hates you! But there is at least one person in this world who likes you! That person is me! So..."
"Please don't be disappointed in this world!"
"Be the best hero you can be!"
The words in that dream are still so clear to this day.
…
Wiped his nose.
"Well... there are other reasons as well..."
