Chapter 1021 Aizen's Arrangement

Theoretically speaking, there is probably no upper limit to the number of Grand Priests and Zeno, or rather, the upper limit is so high that the number is difficult to estimate, just like Zamasu, which can split infinitely.

This is an operation that even the Grand Priest probably couldn't have imagined. At most, he could only think of summoning his counterpart from a parallel universe, which is why there was a pair of Grand Priests and the Omni-King on the Dragon God's side.

The natives might not be able to think of such a comprehensive plan, but Aizen had to think of one as comprehensive as possible; otherwise, if he had just let Lu Li rush in recklessly, they would have been completely wiped out.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had considered that in the worst-case scenario, they would not only face the High Priest and the Omni-King of this world, but would also encounter a situation where defeat was inevitable.

To prevent this from happening, Aizen's research in the subspace over the years was not a device to enhance himself, but a device to seal off time travel between parallel worlds.

He didn't tell Lu Li about this, mainly because Lu Li was too focused at that time and he didn't want to disturb him. Besides, he felt that this was part of the strategist's job and Lu Li didn't need to worry about it.

Similarly, he didn't tell the Soul Singer or the other members of this operation, because Aizen didn't trust them.

After all, if there is only one Omni-King and one Grand Priest, with the power of his fusion with Lu Li, there is still a way to survive. But if there are an infinite number of Grand Priests and Omni-Kings, then even if the Dragon God is freed, he will still be doomed.

In this operation, Aizen could tolerate the appearance of traitors, since human behavior is uncontrollable, but he would never allow anyone to bring more Omni-Kings and Grand Priests from other worlds.

Unfortunately, although his device was activated, the Omni-King and the High Priest from the future Grand Trunks world still arrived.

Aizen believed that this was not a malfunction of his device, but rather that the pair of Omni-Kings and the Grand Priest had already arrived in this world, indicating that one of them had informed the Grand Priest, who had made arrangements in advance. That was why he was so calmly waiting for them to take action against the Dragon God.

It's understandable that the High Priest found these suddenly appearing human powerhouses strange. Having made ample preparations, the High Priest wouldn't rashly interrupt their actions, as he was curious about their purpose and origins.

As for the Dragon God, both the Grand Priest and the Omni-King were able to defeat it in the past. Now there are two pairs, and even countless pairs if necessary, so the Grand Priest certainly doesn't need to rush.

In other words, if we analyze it now, Aizen believes that the Grand Priest may have already known about their 'rebellion' before the Tournament of Power, and the Grand Priest and Zeno of the future Future Trunks timeline were summoned before that.

However, Aizen didn't think it was a big deal. In fact, the current situation was better than he had imagined. After all, he believed that explorers were inherently untrustworthy, and it was normal for informants to appear, especially since this plan involved quite a few people.

Similarly, Aizen didn't think the Soul Singers would be so naive as to believe that the plan would go smoothly, so he always believed that the Soul Singers had other purposes for organizing this operation.

With the soulful singer now missing, it's hard to guess what he might do as a rule-breaker.

Regardless, Aizen's device was successfully activated, temporarily blocking communication between parallel universes and preventing time travel, thus eliminating the possibility of other Omni-Kings and Grand Priests appearing. This was their only chance of victory.

"Impossible... To block spacetime, you need enormous energy. Even if the Third Universe has such technology, where would you get so much energy?"

The high priest frowned. He hated things happening that he didn't understand, and the current situation was already somewhat beyond his control.

Although he felt that killing a human wouldn't require that many of himself and the Omni-King, the fact that the other party had sealed off time and space beforehand still made him feel like he had been tricked.

"Yes, it requires a lot of energy. If it were a conventional energy source, sealing off spacetime for just one second would extinguish a star in a galaxy."

Lu Ran said, "But we have more advanced bioenergy."

Lu Li gave Aizen a lot of Zamasu. If Zamasu is used as an energy source, then things will be completely different.

Zamasu is a sustainable and highly efficient energy source. With a combined attribute of 269, Zamasu himself could destroy the universe. His individual energy is absolutely astonishing. Coupled with his immortality and ability to split infinitely, he is the perfect energy source for Aizen's device.

"Hey, how long are you guys going to keep talking?"

At this moment, the Omni-King spoke up in dissatisfaction, "I don't care about any spacetime restrictions, I'm going to wipe them out."

The High Priest then came to his senses and respectfully said to the Omni-King, "Your Majesty, this is not difficult. You only need to change the priority of eliminating the target."

Although the High Priest did not understand how Lu Li blocked the Omni-King's first erasure, he keenly sensed that Lu Li's ability depended on his ability to sense the Omni-King's incoming attack. If the attack was not directed at Lu Li, Lu Li would have no way to deal with it.

Lu Ran below also became serious. He knew he couldn't stop the Omni-King from erasing other individuals, so his momentum steadily increased as he walked upwards.

Purple flames erupted around him as he activated the 20x Kaioken, theoretically boosting his overall attributes by several points, but his stats still showed 280+.
The barriers between the eighth and ninth tiers are incredibly thick, as if they could not be broken by brute force alone.

Although there was no obvious change in the panel attributes, Lu Ran could still feel that his power had increased a lot, but the gap between the eighth and ninth ranks was too great.

At this moment, Goku on the arena had already reacted. While Lu Li was talking to the Grand Priest to buy time, he gathered everyone together and used Instant Transmission to take them to another place.

Guided by Beerus, everyone was taken to Earth in Universe 7.

An unprecedented catastrophe is about to begin. Even someone as naive as Goku wouldn't believe that in a battle like the one between the Grand Priest and Zeno, all living beings in the universe would be unaffected.

In the worst-case scenario, the war that erupts in order to counter the Omni-King's annihilation of all universes will result in the death of all living beings.

Therefore, Goku and his friends returned hoping to use their immense power to build a barrier for Earth, preventing the aftermath of this battle, which might affect all twelve universes, from destroying this fragile yet resilient planet.

After realizing Goku and his friends' thoughts, people from many other universes also left Earth, saying they wanted to return to their own universes and protect their own planets.

No native suggested returning to the Tournament of Power or going to Universe 6 to participate in the battle between Zeno and the Dragon God; that would be suicidal and wouldn't be helpful.

They had already understood everything on the Tournament of Power stage: against experts of this caliber, killing them was a matter of a single thought, and even a God of Destruction like Beerus had no power to retaliate.

Instead of pointlessly rushing there to die and cause trouble, it's better to return to your hometown and protect the people you care about.

boom--

Just as Goku and Vegeta had used their ki to cover the Earth, a powerful cosmic shockwave arrived.

An angry dragon roar echoed from the void; it was the Dragon God battling the Omni-King and the High Priest.

Meanwhile, in the direction of the Tournament of Power, Lu Ran, in his Super Saiyan and Kaioken forms, slashed at the Grand Priest and Zeno.

Those gods of destruction and angels still in the arena felt as if they were witnessing an epic tale of humanity's demise, that a human dared to wield a blade to slay a god! The black and white blade light ripped through the void, its momentum magnificent and its blade intent boundless, yet at its end it emitted a crisp sound of metal clashing.

Ding--

The High Priest raised a finger, blocking Lu Ran's attack from above. He still wore a calm smile. "Lord Omni-King, those people have left. Do you still wish to eliminate them?"

He didn't even intend to talk to Lu Ran, but continued to communicate with the King of All, just as fighting Lu Li didn't affect his service to the King of All.

"They make me very unhappy. I would rather just eliminate the entire universe. I want to continue to increase my output."

The Omni-King spoke expressionlessly, raising his hands like a celestial being. The power of elimination was increasing its output, and he returned to the original point, wanting to directly eliminate all universes.

What's most terrifying is that Zeno's target this time isn't just the eight universes from the Tournament of Power, but all twelve universes.

Because so many unpleasant things happened to him today, he felt that humans were meaningless and only annoyed him, so he might as well wipe them all out.

For a time, even the explorers in the top four universes began to feel a strange sense of unease.

Meanwhile, the Gods of Destruction from the top four universes in the arena were somewhat bewildered. "Lord Zeno, aren't our universes supposed to survive?!"

"I've said it before, I'm very unhappy, and a world that makes me unhappy has no reason to exist."

Zeno said expressionlessly, continuing to exert force with his hands. If it weren't for the power of the Dragon God fighting against Him, the twelve universes would have already disappeared.

"Is this not fast enough?"

Lu Ran's blade flashed, but the High Priest blocked it with his finger. This did not shock or discourage him. In his current state, he could already see the High Priest's attributes, which amounted to 282 points.

The fact that the opponent was at the ninth level of the realm, above the absolute barrier, and was also the most perfect user of the Free and Ultimate Technique, that he could block his attack with energy protection was not something he could not accept.

On the contrary, Lu Ran was very calm and even had the mood to scold the King, "Everyone treats you with such respect, are they giving you too much face? Do you know what idiot means?"

The King was somewhat stunned. He looked at Lu Li and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about people like you with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities."

Lu Ran said coldly, "Simple foul language, ultimate enjoyment."

The King of All was stunned and stood there for a moment, forgetting to even continue activating the energy, mainly because in His long life, no one had ever used such vulgar language on Him.

The gods of destruction and angels below were all stunned. Weiss's mouth dropped open, completely unable to believe that Lu Li could utter such vicious words.

The King was quite immature, even somewhat dull-witted, and it took him a great deal of effort to understand the meaning of Lu Ran's words.

Then, its entire blue and white eraser head turned red, as if it were enraged to the extreme, shouting, "I'm going to erase you!!!"

"come."

Lu Ran sneered, "If you can do it."

As he spoke, he swung his sword at the Omni-King, but the High Priest easily blocked it.

At the same time, the High Priest punched Lu Ran in the chest, causing Lu Ran's chest to cave in first, and then the impact exploded a second time, causing his entire chest cavity to burst open, and his body almost broke in two.

However, as Lu Ran retreated after dissipating the force, she had already recovered completely. At the same time, her sword intent slashed into the void, blocking the arrival of the power that was being eliminated.

He discovered a design flaw in the Omni-King: although this power of elimination was very domineering, it could only take effect by touching someone through this descent mechanism. Interrupting its effect on oneself before that could prevent being eliminated.

Just as Lu Ran severed the power to eliminate it, the High Priest delivered a chop to Lu Ran's head, slicing him in two like a hot knife through oil.

Blood spilled from Lu Ran's mouth, yet he laughed loudly, "Ninth rank... Ninth rank... Nothing special."

He certainly had the right to laugh wildly, because historically, there were certainly some eighth-rank beings who could not be instantly killed by a ninth-rank being, but they were extremely rare.

Moreover, blood was also bursting from the High Priest's fingertips at this moment. Just now, he broke through the High Priest's defense for the first time and injured this high and mighty ninth-order angel.

"It's just a scratch, is that all that makes you happy?"

The high priest glanced at the wound on his fingertip, and white mist rose around him. With the blessing of divine power, the wound on his fingertip was wiped away.

Ordinary angels are not very good at healing, but as the leader of the angel race, a divine being who existed before creation, he naturally knows some of the techniques that existed in the later-developed demon realm.

Moreover, the High Priest had a deep understanding of the laws. What he did was less about healing and more about reducing his own entropy, using the laws of time locally to make his injuries disappear.

"Kill him! He's so noisy!"

The King of All said with dissatisfaction, the continuous failures in eliminating enemies, coupled with Lu Ran's rude words to him, had made the King of All extremely angry.

A normal child might throw a tantrum when angry, but when the Omni-King gets angry, he's capable of wiping out the entire world.

"Please rest assured, Omni-King, I will make this creature that displeases you disappear immediately."

The High Priest spoke respectfully, while simultaneously deflecting Lu Li's sword intent aimed at the Omni-King.

"Does the strongest Omni-King need to be protected like this? Or is this brain-dead thing just incredibly fragile?"

Lu Ran's words made the High Priest's gaze grow even more gloomy.
