"Big sis, are you okay?"
As Dyspo left, Kale quickly helped Caulifla up.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Kale, you really are strong."
Caulifla spoke casually, but seeing Kale barely able to control her legendary Super Saiyan transformation, she was genuinely happy for her.
"It's all because of your encouragement, Sis..."
Returning to her normal form, Kale was a little shy.
"That's right, hahahaha!!!"
Without holding back, Caulifla burst out laughing again.
"Kale, after we recover our strength, we're going to find that bastard Yuujin. Next time, we definitely won't lose!"
"Yes, Big Sis!"
Though both were in a sorry state, the two sisters were full of fighting spirit.
Supporting each other, Caulifla and Kale soon disappeared into the distance...
"As expected of Kale-chan, mastering the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation so quickly."
On the other side of the arena, Yuujin muttered to himself with a smirk.
Sensing the change in Kale's energy, Yuujin naturally had a good idea of what was going on with them.
Back then, it took Broly quite a bit of time to master her transformation—and even then, she needed a special limiter designed by Bulma to help her. But Kale had awakened and controlled it in such a short time.
That doesn't mean Kale is smarter than Broly or has better talent. In fact, if you really compare the two, Broly outclasses Kale in every way.
The reason Kale was able to master her transformation in such a short time was due to a perfect combination of timing, environment, and people. If she were training under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to control her power.
Well, in any case, Yuujin was still quite pleased that Kale could now control her strength and grow stronger—after all, she was one of the people Yuujin considered a future disciple.
And with Caulifla's fiery personality, they'd definitely come challenge him again. When the time came, he could beat them fair and square and enjoy that sense of superiority as their teacher.
Thinking of this, Yuujin couldn't help but feel both cheerful and expectant.
"Yuujin, Yuujin, what should we do next? Go fight the other universes?"
Gokumi asked from the side.
Yuujin didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked toward the massive stone pillar in the center of the arena.
From the start of the tournament until now, nearly half the time had already passed. With weaker fighters gradually being eliminated, the Tournament of Power was finally reaching its climax. It was about time for their idle watching to come to an end.
But before that—
"Before we regroup with the others, let's head over to Universe 2 and catch a few prisoners."
"Catch prisoners? Sounds fun!"
Yuujin thought for a moment and said, and Gokumi happily agreed.
Anyway, to the simple-minded Gokumi, as long as she was with Yuujin, she was happy doing anything.
Speaking of Universe 2, it was actually a rather special universe. Its God of Destruction, Heles, was the only female God of Destruction among all the universes. The main force they sent to the Tournament of Power was also made up of several magical girl-style warriors.
In the earlier half of the tournament, Universe 2 had been conserving its strength, so they weren't very noticeable. But now that the climax was approaching, they finally started to stir, unwilling to stay quiet...
…
"Mmm, now it's perfect!"
In a corner of the arena, Universe 2's pretty warrior Brianne de Chateau looked at the stage she had built and nodded in satisfaction.
"Sanka, Su, now's the time to show off our strength."
Brianne said to her two companions, Sanka Ku and Su Roze, and the three of them jumped onto their prepared stage together.
"Fellow warriors, please pay attention!"
"Ooh, is it finally starting?"
Leading the performance, Brianne drew everyone's attention. In the audience, Universe 2's Supreme Kai Pell looked on with anticipation.
Wearing a charming smile, Universe 2's God of Destruction Heles also stood up gracefully—
"O gods, o mortals, the battlefield is about to bloom with beautiful flowers—"
"Ha, beautiful flowers?"
"What nonsense is Universe 2 babbling about?"
Although everyone found it a bit strange, Universe 2's antics certainly got their attention.
"I am Universe 2's warrior, Brianne de Chateau."
"I'm Sanka Ku."
"Su Roze."
"Next, please enjoy our performance and transformation—the Song of Love and Victory!"
"Style—Brianne, Brianne, Bri-Brianne!"
"Style—Sanka, Ka-Ku, Sanka Ku!"
"Style—Su-Su, Roze-Roze, Su-Su Roze-Roze!"
Like pop idols, the three girls began their magical transformation show, chanting incantations on stage. Somehow, background music started playing from somewhere, making the entire arena's atmosphere feel a little bizarre.
From the side, Android 17 stepped forward, ready to blast them with an energy attack—but just as he charged it, a Finger Beam suddenly shot over, piercing and scattering his attack.
"Oh my, aren't you folks from Universe 13?"
"What's the matter? Interested in their performance?"
Looking at Yuujin and his group, who had made the move, 17 smiled.
"Interrupting a pretty girl's performance isn't very gentlemanly."
"They worked hard on this, so let's at least let them finish."
Yuujin replied with a smile as well.
Strange lights flickered in his eyes, but 17 didn't follow up with another attack.
"Bringing love and happiness to all—Ribrianne!"
"Savage roar of love—Kakunsa!"
"Dreams and magic, a loving strike—Rozie!"
"Transformation complete!"
"This is Universe 2's most beautiful team in full force. Even if humanity's level isn't high, our love is the strongest in the whole universe!"
"Oh! So beautiful! So beautiful! The magical girls!"
After the trio completed their transformation, Universe 2's God of Destruction Heles spoke confidently. Supreme Kai Pell and the rest of Universe 2's fighters were all ecstatic—so much so that even the two childlike Zeno-samas in the palace clapped and cheered for them.
Although Yuujin had already expected this, seeing it in real life still left him speechless.
He could accept Kakunsa and Rozie—but what the heck was up with Ribrianne?
She had clearly been a beautiful magical girl, but then turned into a chubby mascot-like creature!
What an eyesore!!!
"I think she looked cuter before transforming."
"Well, well, each universe has its own aesthetics and sensibilities, hohoho…"
Krillin said from the audience, while Whis chuckled as well.
Looking around the arena, Krillin noticed that it was true.
While many people looked speechless, some actually seemed really excited.
Well, the universe truly is full of wonders.
"Warriors, let's begin our glorious performance!"
"Understood!!!"
On stage, Ribrianne was about to lead her team into battle when suddenly—a massive energy blast flew in, slamming into the shouting Ribrianne and sending her flying off the stage.
"Ribrianne!"
"Lady Ribrianne!"
Chaos immediately broke out among Universe 2's team, while Android 17 looked speechlessly at Yuujin:
"Hey, didn't you just say interrupting magical girl performances was ungentlemanly?"
"Sorry, I just couldn't take it anymore."
"Besides, their performance is over. Time to make a move."
Shrugging, Yuujin replied.
"Ahhh, how utterly un-beautiful, Universe 13!"
"Damn you, how dare you attack Ribrianne!"
"We won't forgive you, you rude bastards!"
In the audience, God of Destruction Heles cried out in anguish, and the rest of Universe 2's people glared furiously at Yuujin.
Amused inside, Yuujin now wore a cold, stern expression—
"Sorry, Universe 2."
"Your performance is over, so please step down quietly!"
