Naruto: Our Goal Is To Dig Every Corner of Konoha

The battle between the enraged Broly and the nearly fully-powered Jiren was incredibly intense. The other fighters could only hide behind the reinforced rocks, barely withstanding the shockwaves, thanks to the enhancements Asahi made.

Without these fortifications, even hiding wouldn't help them against the sheer power of these two monsters. Everyone was genuinely terrified by their overwhelming strength.

'If they keep fighting like this, the final winner will definitely be from the Eleventh Universe!'

The others thought helplessly. Though a few fighters from their universes remained, the Seventh Universe had only a handful left, while the Pride Troopers still had several members protected by Toppo, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

As the battle intensified, their movements grew faster, causing slight ripples in the surrounding space. Though these ripples quickly dissipated, it was still impressive considering this was Zeno's domain. Unlike typical universes where unrestrained power could easily destroy them, the space here was incredibly strong and resilient.

"The combat power of these two is almost the strongest among the Twelve Universes. Unfortunately, their Universe's overall strength drags down their ranking!"

Grand Priest remarked, shaking his head. Among the eight universes participating in the tournament, four were exempt due to their high average power levels. However, Universe Rankings considered overall strength, not just individual power.

No matter how strong Jiren or Broly were, their universes' average scores were lowered by weaker fighters. It was like a class where two students scored perfect marks, but the rest barely passed, dragging down the average. In contrast, the top four universes had consistently high scores across the board, leading to higher averages and better rankings.

In the Universe where Jiren and Broly are located, they both got full marks in the exam, but the others could only pass. No matter how powerful they were, they were directly pulled down on average, so the rankings were not as good as the top four Universes.

This is the comprehensive ranking, and what Zeno and the Grand Priest look at is this comprehensive ranking. It doesn't matter if only one person is strong.

"Hahaha, you're really strong! In our universe, apart from the angels, I've never encountered anyone like you. But I'll prove that I'm even stronger. Watch this, it's all my power!"

Jiren roared, his aura swelling once more as he unleashed his full power.

"This monster was still holding back? How did he train to reach such levels?!"

The other universes were in an uproar. Even Beerus looked astonished. The sheer strength displayed by Jiren and Broly was beyond comprehension. Beerus could hardly believe how these beings became so powerful, especially considering their origins in other universes.

And it was only after the various additions of Whis that Broly became so scary, but Jiren had no such chance.

"Destruction!"

Broly roared, unleashing his full power in his Legendary Super Saiyan state. Beyond this, he also used the destruction energy to increase his strength. Naturally gifted with immense destructive power, Broly accepted this energy with surprising ease and compatibility, even surpassing Beerus himself in this regard.

Beerus had been astonished to find such a being in his universe, someone so suited to be a God of Destruction. If not for the lack of a suitable successor, he would have long relinquished his position.

Originally, Beerus had considered Frieza, but Frieza's obsession with power and control made him unsuitable. A God of Destruction should not overly concern themselves with authority, as their role was not to dominate the universe but to maintain balance. This is why Beerus dismissed Frieza despite his natural talent. If Frieza had trained diligently, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated by Goku and his allies.

"Candidate for God of Destruction! This guy is a candidate for God of Destruction. Damn it, this is bad news for Jiren!"

Toppo, as the candidate for God of Destruction in the Eleventh Universe, recognized the destructive energy immediately. He worried for Jiren, knowing that while Jiren could handle his own destructive energy effortlessly, Broly was another matter entirely. Broly seemed born to wield destructive energy.

This purple-black power is in Broly's hands, and it is surprisingly powerful.

Despite sustaining injuries from Jiren's relentless attacks, Broly, in his berserk state, was oblivious to pain. He was like an unstoppable force, relentlessly pounding Jiren with his fists. The two clashed directly, their blows connecting with unimaginable force and speed, invisible to the other fighters. The sheer intensity of their battle produced shockwaves that immobilized the remaining contestants, suppressing any attempts to fight back.

"Monsters, both of them! Beerus found such a perfect successor. Vados, you need to help train Kale. If she's anything like Broly, she should have similar potential!"

Champa's initial envy turned into determination as he thought of Kale.

"With all due respect, Champa-sama, Broly has extraordinary explosive power and a personality that changes drastically when he taps into it. Kale, on the other hand, although she can go berserk, retains her original personality once she gains control over her power."

"In other words, Kale's temperament is unsuitable for a God of Destruction. I suggest you find another candidate. She's better suited for a role like the Supreme Kai!"

Vados chuckled at the idea. Kale's temperament might fit the Supreme Kai, but certainly not a God of Destruction. Though her strength was formidable, her personality was far from ideal for the role.
