Dragon Ball:Vados is my Wife

"Jiren!"

Seeing this scene, the pupils of Toppo, Dyspo, and the others suddenly widened!

It was impossible for them to support Jiren now—Bardock's speed was too fast!

Just as they reacted, Bardock's full-power punch came crashing down!

Crack! Crack!

Wherever Bardock's fist passed, space itself fractured within the World of Void, revealing just how terrifying his all-out attack was!

Jiren's pupils also widened, and he roared angrily, "If I lose, everything is meaningless!"

As he spoke, Jiren showed no fear and launched a counterpunch!

In that instant—

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bardock and Jiren's fists collided like two unstoppable forces clashing!

BOOM!

The moment their fists met, golden and red energy flames erupted into a violent confrontation. Thick bolts of lightning crackled wildly, and the entire World of Void trembled.

The stalemate lasted only a second before everyone was shocked to see Bardock's golden aura devouring Jiren's red energy like a ravenous beast!

Crack! Crack!

Jiren's forehead veins bulged, his face twisted with effort.

"Jiren..."

From the stands, Belmod's palms were drenched in sweat.

Kai wiped cold sweat from his forehead and spoke in a heavy tone, "Even with all his power, is Jiren still no match for Bardock?"

"It seems highly likely that Jiren will lose, kuhuhu~"

Marcarita shook her head.

To be honest, against the power of Super Saiyan 5 Bardock, she wasn't optimistic about Jiren's chances.

Even with his full strength, there was still a significant gap between Jiren and Bardock. If not for Bardock's inability to fully control his Super Saiyan 5 form, and the immense toll it took on his body, Universe 11's team might have already been wiped out.

"Bardock! Finish him!"

Beerus stood up excitedly, giving Bardock all his mental support.

"In that case, Mr. Bardock has won!"

Xin also looked thrilled.

If Jiren—the strongest warrior from Universe 11—was eliminated, the rest would be easy to deal with.

"Wow! This is amazing! So amazing!"

"Who will win?! Who will win?!"

Zeno stared at Bardock and Jiren intently, his small face filled with excitement.

The Grand Priest narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems Mr. Bardock is going all in. If he drags this out, the stamina drain of Super Saiyan 5 will wear him down. He must settle this quickly."

"There should be a result soon."

BOOM!

Just as the Grand Priest finished speaking—

The ground beneath Bardock and Jiren cracked apart, revealing—

Jiren's right hand was trembling violently! He was barely holding on!

If not for his immense durability, he would have already been crushed under Bardock's overwhelming power.

Even Bardock was slightly surprised that Jiren had lasted this long.

"You're at your limit. You lose!"

"Haaahhh!!"

BOOM!

Bardock poured all his remaining energy into his right fist. Jiren's pupils shrank in shock!

"Ughhh!!!"

A final, devastating impact shattered Jiren's defenses. He coughed up blood on the spot and was sent flying like a broken kite!

"Yeah! He did it!"

Seeing this, Xin in the stands cheered immediately.

However—

Xin and Beerus didn't have time to celebrate.

"Justice Flash!!"

The moment Bardock defeated Jiren, Toppo, Dyspo, and the remaining Pride Troopers launched a coordinated attack from behind!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Countless energy blasts rained down on Bardock's back!

A series of powerful explosions engulfed Bardock in a storm of fire and smoke.

At that moment—

Beerus and Xin's eyes widened in shock.

"Bardock!!"

Vados also frowned, her frustration mounting.

The fighters from Universe 11 were completely shameless, launching sneak attacks again and again! This angered Vados greatly.

Champa, who initially wanted to praise Toppo's strategy, glanced at the furious Vados and quickly shut up.

Even though Vados was no longer Universe 6's guide angel, Champa's fear of her was deeply ingrained.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The energy bombardment lasted for a long time before finally subsiding.

As the smoke and flames cleared—

Bardock's towering figure remained standing, like an unbreakable iron fortress!

Then—

Bardock slowly turned around, his icy, death-like gaze locking onto Toppo and the others.

In that instant—

The nine Pride Troopers felt a chill run down their spines. A terrifying coldness rushed from their feet to their heads!

"This guy... is he a monster?! He hasn't fallen yet!"

Dyspo's scalp tingled, and he instinctively took several steps back.

Toppo's expression was grim—more serious than ever before.

Even after defeating Jiren and enduring their combined assault, Bardock was still standing!

This was the toughest opponent they had ever faced.

"Yes! Bardock is still standing!"

In the stands, Xin, who had been worried, finally let out a relieved sigh—

But—

Xin realized something was wrong when he saw Beerus, Vados, and Whis remaining silent.

"Stupid boy, shut up!"

The Elder Supreme Kai smacked Xin on the head.

"Elder, what's wrong?"

Xin was confused.

The Elder Supreme Kai explained, "Bardock… can't hold on any longer."

"W-What?!?"

Xin was stunned.

Bardock still looked fine, so why would he collapse now?

But then—

When Xin looked at Bardock again, he saw something alarming—

The dark red lightning flickering around Bardock suddenly sputtered out!

His golden aura vanished!

He was forcibly reverted from Super Saiyan 5 back to his base form!

Then—

Bardock collapsed face-first onto the arena.

Seeing this, the previously tense Toppo and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

They had genuinely believed Bardock was some kind of invincible monster just now. But it seemed their fears were unnecessary.

After such an intense battle, Bardock had clearly reached his limit.

If he were still fine after all that, he wouldn't be human—he'd be an actual monster.

In truth, Bardock's stamina drain from Super Saiyan 5 was heavily tied to his Saiyan bloodline.

After all, Bardock was originally a low-class warrior. No matter how much he trained, his body had a limit.

Unless his physical endurance and Saiyan bloodline evolved, Super Saiyan 5 might be his absolute limit.

And if that was the case for Super Saiyan 5, Super Saiyan 6 was entirely out of reach.

From the stands—

Though expected, Vados couldn't help but clench her fists in frustration.

Originally, without Toppo and Dyspo's interference, Bardock's Super Saiyan 5 would have easily defeated Jiren.

But now—

Although Toppo's actions were dishonorable, they were still within the Tournament of Power's rules.

No matter how angry Vados was, she couldn't argue against it. She wasn't a participant, after all.

If anyone was going to be furious, it was Kakarot.

"It seems Mr. Bardock has reached his physical limit," the Grand Priest commented with mild regret.

Dyspo, who had been terrified moments ago, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Tch. What a joke. Turns out he's not that tough after all. Time to send him out!"

With that, Dyspo shot toward Bardock—

His speed multiplying a thousandfold, too fast for the naked eye to follow!

Bardock—was in danger!
