Dragon Ball:Vados is my Wife

As Dyspo charged at Bardock, Beerus' pupils suddenly widened in shock!

Even Vados and Whis narrowed their eyes slightly.

Could this be it? Would Bardock be the first fighter eliminated from Universe 7?

By contrast, Vermoud clenched his fists in excitement.

As long as Bardock was eliminated, Universe 7 would lose one of its strongest warriors!

Bardock was already in a weakened state. If they didn't take him out now, he would recover and become an even greater threat!

The warriors of Universe 11 understood very well—if they wanted to win the Tournament of Power, they had to use every advantage available!

Just one Bardock was enough to push their strongest fighters to the brink, let alone Kahn, who had been standing on the sidelines all this time!

It all happened in an instant.

Dyspo's speed was unparalleled—before even the Grand Zeno could fully process what had happened, a loud impact rang out.

Boom!

A figure was sent flying.

For a moment, Beerus thought it was Bardock who had been knocked away. But as he took a closer look, his eyes widened in shock—

It wasn't Bardock.

It was Dyspo!

And Bardock?

He was still lying there, unmoving.

In front of Bardock, a tall, imposing figure now stood like an immovable wall, shielding him.

Kahn!

With his hands behind his back, Kahn's dark eyes carried a deep fury as he glared at Toppo and the rest of Universe 11.

"It's Lord Kahn!"

The Supreme Kai of Universe 7 cheered excitedly. "Amazing! Lord Kahn has finally made his move!"

Beerus smirked. "Game over!"

Whis nodded slightly. "It was wishful thinking to eliminate Bardock while Kahn was watching."

Champa, resting his chin on his paw, scoffed. "Well, that's the end of Universe 11."

Marcarita chuckled. "Their fate is sealed."

"It's not looking good, dear," Kusu added.

Vermoud's face darkened. "Kahn is finally taking action?"

If it were only Bardock, Jiren and the others might have been able to manage.

But if Kahn was stepping in?

Then their Pride Troopers would be nothing more than stepping stones.

Even with Jiren, their strongest warrior!

"Kahn is finally stepping in. Universe 11 is in trouble."

"Well, good! If Universe 11 is eliminated, our chances of winning increase by five percent!"

"A ten-on-one ambush might be within the rules, but it's still disgraceful. Looks like Kahn couldn't stand it any longer."

The battle had drawn the attention of all the gods.

Grand Zeno stood up excitedly. "Kahn is about to fight! This is so exciting!"

The Grand Priest nodded. "Kahn is undoubtedly angry about his father being attacked. The real question is—will he eliminate all of Universe 11? Let's watch and see."

Dyspo struggled to his feet from the rubble, his face contorted in pain. He was sure his nose had been broken from that single blow.

And when he saw Kahn standing in front of Bardock, a shiver ran down his spine.

"It's... it's him!"

He had thought no one could match his speed. But the one who had intercepted him so effortlessly... was Kahn!

Toppo's face turned grim.

"The Big Boss is finally stepping in, huh?"

The entire Pride Troopers tensed up.

The pressure emanating from Kahn was on an entirely different level compared to Bardock!

Vermoud had warned them—Kahn had the power to wipe them all out instantly!

Underestimating him wasn't confidence. It was suicide.

"Kahn... I never thought I'd see the day you'd have to protect me."

Bardock lay on the ground, his voice weak but filled with relief.

It was a strange feeling.

Once, his son had been nothing but a small, fragile child in need of protection.

Now, that very son stood tall like an unshakable mountain, shielding him from the world.

Had the roles truly reversed?

If Kahn hadn't stepped in just now, Bardock might have been eliminated by Dyspo.

Even after a year of intense training, using Super Saiyan 5 still put a massive strain on his body.

Kahn's voice was calm but firm.

"Dad, you've protected me countless times before. Now, it's my turn."

His eyes turned cold as he looked toward Dyspo and the others.

"Those insects that dared to surround you—I'll bury them with my own hands."

Then, he turned to Android 18.

"18, take my dad to the side so he can recover. This will be over quickly."

Android 18 nodded and swiftly helped Bardock away.

And then—

Kahn's dark gaze burned with fury.

"You like ganging up on people? You like sneak attacks?"

His voice turned icy.

"Then come. Face me instead."

A surge of dark green energy erupted from Kahn's body, shooting into the sky like a raging inferno.

In an instant, his transformation was complete.

Super Saiyan—Transcended Form.

Emerald-green hair.

This was the full-power version of Super Saiyan 1, unique to Kahn's Saiyan lineage.

Unlike Bardock, Kahn had no need for willpower to crush weaklings like Toppo.

He raised his hand and gestured with a single finger.

"Alright, let's begin."

His voice was calm, yet brimming with dominance.

"Within five seconds—if any of you are still standing on this stage, I'll jump off myself."

Silence.

Toppo's face twisted in anger.

"I won't deny that you're strong. But do you seriously think you can take all of us out in five seconds? Ridiculous!"

No matter how powerful Kahn was, he couldn't possibly wipe them all out instantly.

Before this moment, no one had dared to make such a bold declaration against the Pride Troopers!

As soon as Toppo finished speaking, the Pride Troopers moved in unison, forming their signature formation to surround Kahn.

Meanwhile, Jiren, who had been defeated by Bardock's Super Saiyan 5, slowly stood up.

Though still weak, his spirit remained unshaken.

He had come to the Tournament of Power to fight for Universe 11.

Losing meant the complete erasure of his universe.

Would he allow that?

No.

Jiren's pride, his very sense of self, refused to accept defeat.

"Power is absolute."

"Strength is justice."

A shadow of his past resurfaced in his mind—

His parents' death.

His friends' betrayal.

These painful memories were what had driven him to train relentlessly, transforming him from a hopeful young warrior into the silent juggernaut he was now.

Losing was not an option.

FWOOOM!

A crimson aura of pure energy exploded from Jiren's body!

His battle-worn clothes disintegrated, revealing his towering physique, muscles coiled with raw power!

Jiren's breathing was slow and deep.

His entire body burned with determination.

With steady, powerful steps, he advanced toward Kahn, his eyes locked on his new target.

His final battle had begun.
