Chapter 798: Chapter 798 Hit's Attack
"The realm of Gods? So by transforming, you've touched upon the God's realm? Now I'm interested. Let's fight!"
With her personality, Caulifla would never admit defeat, so she continued to fight. However, this time, Goku didn't hold back, resulting in a complete domination over Caulifla. But that's a story for another time.
While they were fighting, another figure had already set their sights on Broly. As the assassin of Sixth Universe, Hit's initial target was Broly. He believed Broly was hiding some powerful techniques, so he planned to attack him.
However, before he could get to Broly, he had to deal with Bardock, who was standing nearby.
"Hmm, I sense your presence. Come out. I've already discovered you. You're a strong opponent, so there's no need to hide like that!"
Bardock said, and immediately, Hit stepped out. He was an assassin, but preferred to confront his targets directly. No one had ever captured him, no one had ever defeated him, and he had never failed a mission. His success was due to his immense strength and incredible abilities.
Now, appearing before Bardock, he intended to defeat him swiftly. As soon as Bardock saw Hit, he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue.
"The divine aura is even thicker. What's going on with the Saiyans of Seventh Universe? How many transformations do they have? Why can't the Saiyans of our Universe transform like this!"
Champa was about to go crazy. The Saiyans of Seventh Universe perfectly demonstrated how to play with hair dye, and each hair color change signified an increase in power. Transforming into Super Saiyan Blue signified an 8,000-fold increase in power.
"This kind of power boost... were these guys holding back all along? An 8,000-fold increase? This race is insane!"
The Gods of Destruction were stunned. An 8,000-fold increase meant that even if they had minimal power in their base form, their transformed state would be strong enough to destroy small planets with ease. Actually, even a few hundred-fold increase would suffice for that.
"Transforming? But in front of me, your transformations are useless!"
After saying this, Hit took a fighting stance, a small one, seemingly deliberately minimizing his posture. Then, Hit launched his attack. Using Time-Skip, Hit's strike hit Bardock's vital points before he could react, knocking him out of his Super Saiyan Blue form and bringing him to his knees.
Bardock had no idea how Hit's attack struck him. In a normal situation, he would have died by Hit's hand, but the tournament rules prohibited killing, so he survived.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Bardock was shocked, and so were the other contestants, and the Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais observing the fight. Even the Angels couldn't help but show surprise.
"A mere mortal has actually mastered the manipulation of time. He's truly talented!"
The angels finally revealed that Hit had stopped time for 0.1 seconds. In that brief moment, a true expert could accomplish anything, which is why Bardock fell so easily.
"Just now, I clearly caught a glimpse of it. This guy, could it be…"
Fortunately, Bardock was in his Super Saiyan Blue state earlier, so he managed to catch a glimpse of Hit's slight movement when activating his ability. He realized that if he could attack during that motion, he could break Hit's technique. Bardock didn't believe that Hit could be so strong that he couldn't see his movements. If that were the case, there would be no need for Hit to even take a stance.
So this time, Bardock transformed back into Super Saiyan Blue, with his hair turning an even deeper blue. His divine aura grew stronger, and his power surged once more, leaving the other gods speechless. They felt that their transformation seemed to have no limits.
Bardock was now focused on Hit's small movement. As soon as Hit began to gather his energy, Bardock attacked. Before Hit could activate his Time-Skip, Bardock knocked him down with one move.
This time, Bardock's power surpassed Hit's. He had reached a level that could even contend with Toppo in his God of Destruction form. Without Time-Skip, Hit's basic combat power was only slightly stronger than Super Saiyan Blue but not as strong as its deeper blue form. Most importantly, Hit had never fought Goku before, which was crucial.
Without battling Goku, Hit couldn't experience the growth in his own power or create the time cage that could temporarily trap Jiren. Thus, Bardock's relentless attacks overwhelmed Hit, leaving him no time to use Time-Skip.
Because Bardock's attacks never ceased, constantly raining down on him, Hit couldn't match Bardock's speed, withstand his attacks, or fight back effectively.
He had no chance to find an opening to use his Time-Skip. This left him bewildered, demonstrating the advantage of absolute power. If Bardock were as strong as Jiren, he could directly bypass Hit's Time-Skip, instantly seeing through all of Hit's movements. Time couldn't trap Jiren, who could break through the time cage and Hit's time-stopping ability.
However, Bardock didn't need that level of power now. He didn't need to wait for Hit to use his ability; he could simply overwhelm him from the start. Hit was now on the defensive, unable to counterattack.
"Damn it! In just a few days… Beerus, you bastard, you actually made these people hide their true power!"
Champa was almost tearing his hair out. The current Bardock and Goku were drastically different from the weaker versions he had seen before. He felt deceived, believing Beerus and his people had tricked him.
"Tch, blame yourself for your incompetence!"
Beerus sneered, but inwardly, he felt relieved. Without Whis's help, they might have been the first universe to lose. Whis had indeed helped them a lot this time.
"Damn you, Beerus!"
Champa could only curse and sulk. His team's shortcomings were his responsibility, and he couldn't blame anyone else. He could only sit and stew in frustration.
Vados shook her head. While Champa couldn't see it, she could tell that Bardock and Goku had received training recently, explaining their sudden increase in strength.
