Chapter 1006 The Contradictions of the Omni-King
Lu Li himself wanted to complain about the rules, but since he was already planning to cause trouble at the Tournament of Power, he didn't care how ridiculous the rules given by the Omni-King were.

To be honest, these rules are just for show, because the existence of the last special rule means that the explorers understand what's going on, and the final interpretation right always rests with the Omni-King.

If you don't want to be wiped out by the Omni-King, the best way is not to do what the Omni-King wants and show him cricket fighting, but to find a way to kill this unreasonable supreme god.

The Gods of Destruction from each universe had returned to their positions. Beerus had many bruises on his body, and his face was swollen and bruised from the unsportsmanlike punch he received from Champa.

Lu Li placed his hand on Beerus and activated his Dao, instantly healing Beerus's injuries. "Lord Beerus, the match just now was quite exciting."

Beerus got angry just thinking about it. "These guys have no sportsmanship. If it were one-on-one, I would definitely beat them all to a pulp."

"Lord Beerus, Gods of Destruction cannot fight each other, or you might be eliminated by the Omni-King."

Whis kindly reminded them that today's battle was permitted by the Omni-King, but its nature would change in a different context.

"Hmph, I know."

Beerus was in a bad mood, mainly because he saw that the rules prohibited killing, and he felt that Lu Li was a super killer who was too likely to accidentally kill someone.

Lu Li stopped whispering and looked at the rule panel floating in the air, and then at the Omni-King sitting blankly on the high platform behind the rule panel.

Suddenly, Lu Li realized something: there was something illogical about this power tournament.

So, how could someone as powerful as Zeno... not be able to see the battle between the Gods of Destruction?

Isn't this nonsense?

Or perhaps... the Omni-King himself isn't that strong? He merely possesses the power of the creator god of this world, and isn't actually very strong in combat? Or perhaps the Omni-King's dynamic vision isn't actually that great?
Beerus and other Gods of Destruction generally have an overall attribute score below 270. Beerus was just provoked and activated his Ultra Instinct, so his overall attribute score was only 270, which is still far from the ninth rank.

If Zeno truly possesses all ninth-tier attributes, then it's impossible for him not to see the Gods of Destruction's actions; in fact, Zeno would perceive these actions as slow motion.

Just like Lu Li, whose dynamic vision was so outstanding, those weak and destructive moves in the game just now seemed a bit slow in his field of vision, making him feel bored and want to doze off.

If we were to place the reason why Zeno wouldn't allow the God of Destruction to participate in the competition in the manga, we could interpret Zeno as a supreme god in a certain setting, who is not good at fighting but only possesses the power of elimination.

But this is the real world, so the Omni-King is indeed a ninth-tier powerhouse, and Lu Li felt that the other party should not have such an obvious weakness.

In other words, if Zeno truly couldn't see the battle between the Gods of Destruction, Lu Li felt that the possibility of assassinating Zeno was definitely not zero.

Because the Omni-King's reaction speed is likely not as high as the explorers imagined.

However, implementing this plan is also very difficult, since the Grand Priest is always by the side of the Omni-King, and the Grand Priest's strength is almost perfect. He really has no weaknesses in combat.

If you think about it carefully, you'll find that there are too many illogical things in the Dragon Ball universe. For example, how did the universe get to where it is now, given that there is a supreme god like Zeno?

What would the universe be like now if there were no High Priest?

Thinking of this, Lu Li unconsciously glanced at the High Priest. As a result, the High Priest seemed to have noticed Lu Li's gaze. When he turned to look at Lu Li, a smile appeared on his face. To Lu Li, that smile was somewhat eerie.

"Alright, the match time has been set. Go back and prepare your players. There will be a limit of ten players per universe."

After the High Priest announced the rules, he sent the gods of the various universes back.

Fortunately, the Omni-King didn't suddenly decide to let the God of Destruction candidates fight again, otherwise Lu Li and Toppo's fighting qualifications might have been revoked.

And so, people from all universes returned to their own territories with heavy hearts. Aizen disappeared from the Supreme Kai World on the same day he returned and went to another universe to work as a persuader.

After Lu Li returned to Universe 7, he was immediately subjected to a rigorous interrogation by Beerus.

After a fierce battle, Beerus looked at Lu Li, panting, and asked, "Lu Li, when did you become so strong!?"

"It's all thanks to Lord Beerus's excellent teaching."

Lu Li smiled modestly.

Normally, Beerus would be a little annoyed that Lu Li caught up with him so quickly, after all, he is a proud and aloof cat.

He could only feel fortunate now, because the stronger Lu Li was, the more likely their universe was to win, and he didn't want to be eliminated because of the Omni-King's whim.

"Hmm...not bad. This competition is all up to you. Do you have any thoughts on the other participants?"

Beerus nodded.

"Hmm... Let me think. Goku and Vegeta will definitely participate. They have already mastered Ultra Instinct and Self-Instinct, so they are considered strong contenders. In addition, there is Broly, whom I recently discovered. Buu on Earth is also very powerful."

Lu Li began to check the list of contestants. "Next up is Gohan, right? We can let the two androids participate as well. Their unlimited stamina might have a miraculous effect."

"So there are two spots left?"

Beerus was also aware that most of the strongest beings in the universe were concentrated on Earth. "I remember there are other Saiyans on Earth, right?"

"Goten and Trunks? I don't think they're up to par. They're still kids and too lazy with their training. If they fused, they'd have considerable fighting power, but Gotenks is a bit reckless, and to be honest, he's not keeping up with the current meta."

Lu Li analyzed.

Beerus didn't quite understand what 'version strength' meant, but he knew that reckless players wouldn't do, as this was a battle involving the life and death of the universe.

He thought for a moment and then said, "What about Frieza?"

"Didn't that guy send Vegeta to hell...?"

Lu Li scratched his head and said that he originally thought the Power Tournament was still several years away, and that he would have already trained reliable new strongmen by then. But now he could only gather eight people.

He knew this was different from the Tournament of Power in the original story. Although the Soul Singer had joined forces with many powerful individuals to take down the Omni-King, a considerable number of explorers felt that going up against the Omni-King was suicidal and that it was better to place their hopes on winning the Tournament of Power.

Of the eight universes that are currently participating, only three are preparing to participate in the Soul Singer's plan; the others will mainly focus on the Tournament of Power.

Therefore, if the lineup of Universe 7 is not strong enough, there is a risk. After all, Lu Li is not so arrogant as to say that he only needs a shadow clone to control the whole field. He does not know if there are any hidden masters in other universes.

Therefore, it's always better to make the lineup stronger.

“I can bring him out of hell and give him a chance to redeem himself.”

Weiss said from the side that he didn't want the universe to be erased either. Although angels don't die, they will fall into a deep sleep, waiting for the High Priest to redistribute and activate them.

"We can let him come out to cultivate for a few days first. If he can't become stronger, then let him go back to hell."

Lu Li pondered, "Golden Frieza's power is actually average; he wouldn't rank highly in the current Tournament of Power. It would be more like Black Gold Frieza." "Then let's leave it at that for now."

Weiss smiled and nodded, then disappeared from the spot, immediately going to take care of the matter.

"Who's the last one? Who are you planning to send?"

Beerus then asked Lu Li.

Lu Li said somewhat helplessly, "Speaking of which, the current God of Destruction in our universe is still Lord Beerus. Is this something I'm supposed to be the one to consider from the beginning?"

"Isn't this going to be your place sooner or later? Just say it."

"Berus urged."

"Let me think... how about I release Zamasu? Let him go up on stage and fight, he'll be invincible."

Lu Li felt like he was a little genius. Zamasu still listened to him, and apart from him, there were few ways to deal with Zamasu's infinitely splitting immortal body.

"No way! You were already against the rules by locking Zamasu up and experimenting on him. I'm already being lenient by not exposing you. How dare you let him show his face in front of the Grand Priest and the Omni-King?"

Beerus immediately rejected Lu Li's dangerous idea; he didn't want the Omni-King to wipe out the universe in a fit of rage.

"Then let Krillin go, as the representative of the strongest Earthling."

Lu Li couldn't think of anything else, so he simply let someone fill in. Anyway, he felt that Krillin, as the strongest Earthling, might be able to give Goku a buff at a crucial moment, which could have a surprising effect.

Who is Klin?

Beerus was somewhat confused; he had no recollection of Klin.

"In short, he's the strongest human on Earth, very powerful."

Lu Li said this with an air of seriousness.

Beerus reluctantly believed Lu Li's words. In any case, the lineup he had put together was strong enough, and with Lu Li in charge, he felt there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Speaking of which, Lord Beerus, why are you so afraid of the Omni-King? You don't seem like someone who's afraid of death."

Lu Li asked curiously.

Beerus looked rather grim when asked this question, but since there was no one else in the castle and Whis had gone to Hell to find Frieza, he said, "This has nothing to do with being afraid of death. Don't let my appearance fool you, I am still a god of this universe. My existence is to maintain the balance of this universe, and I don't want to see this universe disappear."

"But I heard that when Lord Beerus was playing hide-and-seek with the Omni-King, you found a place to sleep for fifty years."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Beerus was somewhat embarrassed. "Where did you hear that? That's all old news. The Omni-King almost wiped out the entire universe that time, and it took the Gods of Destruction a long time to appease him. If it weren't for that incident, they wouldn't be so hostile towards me."

"It's just hearsay. When I heard about it, I was just amazed that Lord Beerus could be so brave."

Lu Li said with a face full of emotion.

Beerus was a little annoyed by this. "What do you mean by 'there are times like that'? I'm tough right now, okay?"

"But I see that Lord Beerus has great reverence for the Omni-King now. You even rode on the Omni-King's back when you were apologizing before?"

Lu Li mercilessly exposed Beerus's true colors.

Beerus's face turned purplish-red. "Did Whis tell you? I already said this is strictly forbidden to be told to anyone!"

"It's just hearsay, just hearsay."

Lu Li laughed it off, saying he didn't want Weiss to take the blame for nothing.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of death anyway. It's just that I have to consider matters of the universe. As a god, I'm not as incompetent as you can imagine."

Beerus snorted coldly, clearly disliking being controlled by the Omni-King.

No mentally sound being would willingly be someone's dog, or be ridden like a horse by children in a palace.

However, Beerus is powerless to resist Zeno. For Zeno to erase him would be as difficult as erasing an insect. Moreover, if Zeno is unhappy, he will erase the entire universe, which is the most dangerous thing.

"Hey kid, you're not plotting something shady, are you?"

Beerus suddenly looked at Lu Li with a dangerous gaze, "I'm warning you, don't even think about messing with the Omni-King. He can crush you as easily as crushing an insect."

"How could that be? My power is insufficient to contend with Zeno. I just feel that the existence of the universe and the demise of life are all in Zeno's hands, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Lu Li said, “Lord Beerus, you know me. I was originally just a traveler who wandered through various universes, so I feel that life itself should not be taken so lightly.”

"Don't think about it anymore. Zeno created everything. As the creator god, everything Zeno does is right."

Beerus snorted coldly, "I don't care what you think, just behave yourself for now, train hard, and win the Tournament of Power first."

Is Zeno really the creator god?

Lu Li then asked whether Beerus, as an ancient god of destruction, knew anything that the explorers outside the game didn't.

However, Beerus did not answer Lu Li's question. Instead, he walked to the dining table, picked up the lunchbox he hadn't finished eating that morning, and ate in silence.

Lu Li looked at Beerus like this, but didn't ask any further questions. He simply turned around and teleported away, saying, "I'm going to gather the players."

The recruitment of contestants went smoothly, except when it came to Vegeta, which required more effort from Lu Li. Vegeta was afraid of missing his wife's childbirth and refused to participate.

In the end, Lu Li used the laws of space to teleport the fully grown child out. Vegeta, seeing that his wife had given birth, then said he wanted to participate in the training and competition.

After explaining the situation to everyone, Lu Li used teleportation to go to the Realm of the Supreme Kai and found Xin.

“Lu Li, you’ve come at the right time. Galaxy Prison just sent me an application, hoping we can help deal with dangerous prisoners.”

Xin looked delighted when she saw Lu Li approaching.

He wasn't actually that afraid of the Tournament of Power, because he had witnessed how powerful Lu Li was and felt that no other candidate for God of Destruction could defeat him.
