The Universes on Notice

At the palace, both Zenos are playing a chess-like game involving the universes and discussing how many to erase. The Grand Minister confirms Universe 1 leads in mortal level with Universe 12 close behind, while the rest have stagnated or even declined. Goku's sudden arrival changes the equation: he reminds the Zenos about their promised tournament, and the rulers decide to hold it in five tiks, roughly forty hours. Before Goku can leave, the Grand Minister summons every God of Destruction and Supreme Kai. Across the multiverse, Angel Attendants relay the call. In Universe 10, Rumsshi scolds Gowasu over the Zamasu incident. In Universe 11, Belmod celebrates his anniversary as a destroyer and introduces Top as his planned successor.

The Zen Exhibition Match

The gods file in and the Zenos announce the Tournament of Power. Because Future Zeno has never witnessed a tournament, the Grand Minister builds a fighting stage and orders all twelve destroyers onto it. The rules are simple: a battle royale where the last one standing earns a reward, and anyone who holds back faces termination by Zeno. Quitela needles Beerus about a past arm-wrestling loss, and the other gods blame Beerus for Zeno's lingering fury over an old Hide and Seek Tournament that Beerus ruined by sleeping for fifty consecutive years.

The match begins and all eleven gods immediately target Beerus. He dodges their combined assault, escapes Mule's grip, and fires back, but Sidra shields the others with an energy barrier. Belmod then kicks Sidra off the stage, reminding everyone that only one god can win. The melee intensifies as Goku watches with mounting excitement from the sidelines.
