Chapter 853 *Hidden*

In the venue, Xiaya deeply gazed at the other three Gods of Destruction remaining in the arena, and ranked their strength according to the situation on the battlefield and his probe of them.

Without a doubt, Jiren’s strength was the weakest among these three people and also the least threatening to Xiaya. Although he belongs to the most powerful group of all Gods of Destruction, a God of Destruction at peak level still could not affect Xiaya. Next was Bomen, with the brief interaction before, Xiaya is sure that the other party’s strength is not inferior to his own and is a formidable opponent for Xiaya.

The last one is the mysterious person wearing a bronze mask.

His background is the most mysterious, and even his real identity is not known. But from the way he easily defeated the God of Destruction of Universe 3 before, I’m afraid his strength is not inferior to Bomen.

“In that case, there probably are two Divine Realm experts at fourth level among them.” Xiaya made this judgment, and his fighting intent rose to an unprecedented level.

He glanced at the mysterious bronze-masked person who was slowly approaching him. In this vast arena, the masked person looked quite calm.

“Then let’s confirm it!” With this thought in mind, Xiaya stepped forward quickly, his body flickered, and he appeared in front of the mysterious person. Without any further words, Xiaya initiated the attack.

With a loud bang, a white light flashed and the sound of air breaking rang out.

Faced with Xiaya’s attack, the bronze-masked person seemed to have been prepared. He boldly took a step forward and extended his arm towards Xiaya. Bang! The two fists collided, and a sharp whirlwind erupted out at the point of collision, spreading out like thousands of fragments of silk, dense and shaking the entire void.

After the rapid attack, Xiaya didn’t linger but quickly retreated, pulling away a considerable distance. Then, he stood far away from the bronze-masked person, staring at the opponent.

“As expected, this bronze-masked person is also at the fourth level of Divine Realm, and is not weaker than me.” He shook his slightly trembling arm, his expression becoming serious.

The bronze-masked person was not content with just being tested, So, his body surged out with a light purple halo and he rapidly disappeared from his original position. Thud, thud, thud, blurred afterimages appeared everywhere.

Xiaya’s eyes were fixed on the opponent’s disappearing position, his pupils constantly moving around. He almost instinctively reacted and retreated, disappearing into the void and soaring high into the sky.

Gazing from a high altitude, the scene below was in full view.

However, Xiaya’s opponent, the bronze-masked man, was also extremely strong. Without him sensing it, he had arrived behind Xiaya, launching a fierce attack from behind.

Just as the attack was about to hit Xiaya, he calmly steadied himself. He, who has fully comprehended Ultra Instinct, was like a nimble fairy. The corners of his mouth curled into an arc and he suddenly shot an energy wave in the opposite direction towards the void.

“Dragon Fist!!”

Without holding anything back, a lifelike golden dragon rose into the air, piercing the void, and collided head-on with the bronze-masked man.

Crack, as if space had been shattered, a short-lived flower suddenly bloomed in the void. The bronze-masked man’s reaction speed was also fast. He immediately covered his chest with his arms as soon as he was attacked, a light purple light suddenly shining.

“You reacted so quickly and blocked my Dragon Fist, your strength is at least in the upper middle level of the fourth level of Divine Realm. I wonder how many of my attacks you can take.”

Xiaya’s face revealed a hint of excitement, and he continued to wave his fists towards the void.

“Screech!” He could feel his fist touch something solid. Boundless mist appeared in the sky, and it was this thin mist that blocked Xiaya’s several attacks.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” …

Boom!!

One after another, the collisions erupted out with fierce explosions. The air was compressed to the max before exploding suddenly, and soon, the sturdy arena became full of holes, and following a strong wind, a thick cloud of dust rose into the sky.

Xiaya and the bronze masked-person kept appearing and disappearing, making it dizzying to look at.

In the spectator’s seats, the eliminated Gods of Destruction saw this, and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

This strength has surpassed theirs by far, making them feel ashamed.

On the other side, Bomen and Jiren’s battle was also in progress. It seemed that Jiren’s level did not meet Bomen’s requirements, so Bomen did not show his full strength throughout the fight. While fighting Jiren, Bomen’s bright eyes also occasionally looked towards Xiaya and the masked-man in the sky.

“If you don’t use your full strength, I will be very disappointed,” Jiren’s deep voice sounded. His two big eyes stared at Bomen closely. If Bomen was still holding back in this fight, it would be an insult to him.

“Ha ha, you want to finish this quickly? Then, I’ll oblige,” Bomen’s words were filled with a domineering attitude, then his tone became serious, and in an instant, his entire demeanor changed. He emitted an imposing and intimidating aura and just looking in his eyes required infinite courage.

Bang, a whirlwind instantly rose on the ground and Bomen’s figure disappeared from sight.

Boom!

Sometimes with legs and sometimes with fists, the attacks were consecutive and fierce.

Bomen’s attacks were like surging waves, unstoppable, and piling up layer by layer. When they reached Jiren, he would not be able to resist them at all.

Faced with Bomen’s approaching attacks, Jiren’s muscles all tensed up. With a crack sound, he released his power and moved quickly and swiftly. But Bomen firmly blocked his escape route and from Bomen’s wave after wave of attacks, Jiren felt a heavy pressure.

This opponent was too frightening!

With his current strength, he could not defeat him yet.

Suddenly, his eyes emitted strange red light, and an enormous mental power burst out. Following his powerful instincts, Jiren’s body instinctively moved.

But Bomen was too powerful. He quickly stepped forward, and when he was only three meters away from Jiren, he firmly stomped on the ground, instantly causing small pebbles to bounce up, and then he punched out. In an instant, a dazzling light that was intoxicating to the eyes broke through the void. In front of this domineering and invincible fist, all beautiful things lost their luster.

Whooosh, a powerful aura erupted out and smoke obscured the view.

Drip, drip, blood dripped on the ground.

Jiren’s head was drooping down, his two eyes shining with red light. In front of him, Bomen’s arm was firmly held by Jiren, and a faint purple light was emanating from between their palms.

Bomen’s attack was actually received by Jiren.

But he also paid a heavy price, as if his mental power had received a shock, Jiren’s seven orifices were bleeding.

Releasing his hand, Bomen retreated several meters and said admiringly: “You are the first God of Destruction who can take my attack head-on. If given enough time, perhaps even advancing to the fourth level of Divine Realm would not be a problem for you. If I guessed correctly, you just used telekinesis, right? Looking at your condition, it’s a backlash from superpower, and your mind has been greatly wounded.”

“Cough, Cough. I didn’t think that the fourth level of Divine Realm would be so powerful!”

Jiren spat out a mouthful of blood, his mind was feeling quite listless.

Bomen laughed: “Because this is a completely different realm, when you comprehend it, you will know its vastness.” He then shook his head, and pointed his palm at Jiren.

Jiren smiled bitterly, at present he was indeed not a match for the fourth level of Divine Realm.

Woosh!

As a bright and brilliant Energy wave broke through the clouds, Jiren was carried away by the energy wave and reappeared in the waiting area of Universe 11.

“Marcarita, quickly heal Jiren’s injuries,” shouted Belmod as he straightened Jiren’s body.

“Okay,” A light blue-colored divine power appeared and healed Jiren’s injuries.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t lead Universe 11 to the end,” Jiren said weakly.

Belmod sighed, unable to blame Jiren. “Ah, never mind. Who could have thought that so many experts of the fourth level of Divine Realm would appear in the competition? It’s just bad luck. I thought that with you as the God of Destruction, the outcome of the competition was certain, but I didn’t expect so many unexpected things to happen.”

“The final outcome of Universe 11 is in the hands of fate,” Jiren said.

Belmod didn’t know what to say, as the appearance of experts at fourth level of Divine Realm in the Battle of Gods was something he wouldn’t have dared to imagine before today.

At this moment, Toppo coughed, drawing everyone’s attention and said, “Belmod-sama, I think we don’t have to worry anymore. I just calculated and our points are enough to secure a spot in the top four.”

“What did you say?” Belmod was stunned with a confused look on his face.

“Wait!” Belmod calculated silently for a while, and after he was done, he looked surprised and his face lit up with happiness. He then threw his head back and laughed.

“It’s true. With Jiren’s points, Universe 11 has a total of 11 points. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to firmly secure a spot in the top four.”

In Battle of Mortals, Universe 11’s final score was only 1 point, which was not a lot and tied with Universe 6 for 6th place. However, in the Battle of Gods, Jiren defeated the God of Destruction from Universe 9 and Universe 12, and then deducting the 10 points since he got eliminated, it leaves a total of 10 points. Adding these two scores together, Universe 11’s final total score was 11 points.

This score exceeded the highest score of 8 points achieved by Universe 7 in the Battle of Mortals. In the Battle of Gods, besides Jiren, Xiaya, Bomen and the bronze-masked man, the only other people who defeated other Gods of Destruction and got points were Beerus and the Giin, but they both got 0 points due to their own elimination.

Regardless of the final outcome, Universe 11’s 11 points exceeded the previous highest score of Universe 7 and securely placed them in 4th place.

It was unexpected that with only 11 points, Universe 11 was able to secure a spot in the top four.
