Hearing the system's notification sound in his mind, Katakana's face showed a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected the system to reward him with two abilities at once!
But after thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, the system had already mentioned that this mission would come with generous rewards.
"Captain… Captain…!"
"Great! The Captain is still alive!"
At that moment, Katakana heard Casellar's voice.
Looking over, he saw that Toppo had been dug out of the rubble by his teammates.
Though still alive, it was obvious that Toppo was in horrible condition.
His entire body was covered in wounds, and his clothes had been completely burned away.
Even his iconic white beard had been erased from existence!
"Hmph. Still alive, huh? Fine, whatever."
"At least this saves me some unnecessary trouble."
Katakana glanced at Toppo and then shook his head.
After all, Toppo was the God of Destruction candidate for Universe 11.
He was clearly someone whom God of Destruction Vermut had placed high hopes on.
If Katakana killed him now, it would undoubtedly provoke Vermut's wrath.
Not that Katakana was afraid of Vermut.
But before facing Jiren, he didn't want to start a direct conflict with a God of Destruction.
Currently, Katakana had not only Have Ultra Instinct Sign and Super Saiyan God Rosè , but he also possessed 50% of the Power of Destruction.
Although he wasn't yet at the level of a true God of Destruction, he was strong enough to fight one head-on.
"D-Don't… don't come any closer…!"
Katakana casually glanced at Supreme Kai, and the poor god immediately collapsed to his knees in terror.
"Tch. What a waste of time."
Originally, Katakana had considered finishing him off with another Big Bang attack, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
After all, if this Supreme Kai kept witnessing such one-sided beatdowns, the psychological trauma would only worsen.
With a whoosh, Katakana disappeared into the distance.
For now, Katakana had no intention of leaving Universe 11.
Even though the system's check-in task was complete, there was one last battle he wanted.
"Since I'm here, there's no way I'm leaving without fighting Jiren."
A confident smirk formed on Katakana's lips.
If he had never come to this world, the title of "strongest Mortal" would have naturally belonged to Jiren.
But now that he was here,
That title belonged to him!
And soon, all of Universe 11 would hear about how he defeated Toppo.
When that happened, Jiren would definitely come looking for him!
But before that…
"I need to perfect my fusion of Divine's power and Rosè's power…"
Although this technique would be difficult, for someone like Katakana, it was only a matter of time!
Meanwhile… in the Realm of the Gods of Destruction
At that moment, in the God of Destruction's Realm of Universe 11,
Vermut sat on his throne, gazing into the crystal ball in his hand.
He had seen everything.
Toppo's defeat.
The humiliating loss against an unknown warrior.
Although his face remained calm, there was a hidden fury burning beneath his expression!
Beside him, the twin-tailed Angel Macarita spoke with a teasing smile.
"So… he really defeated Toppo!"
"Do you think Jiren can beat this guy?"
Macarita's curiosity was piqued.
When Toppo had been fighting this mysterious warrior, she had already predicted the outcome.
But what truly puzzled her was,
She couldn't tell where this warrior had come from!
"Tch!"
"OF COURSE, Jiren will win!"
Vermut snorted, lifting his chin with confidence.
"Jiren is the strongest Mortal to have surpassed the Gods of Destruction through sheer strength."
"Aside from the Gods of Destruction themselves, NO ONE can defeat him!"
Vermut had absolute faith in Jiren.
Even though Jiren was only human, his raw strength allowed him to even challenge a God of Destruction in direct combat!
To Vermut, Jiren was the perfect candidate to succeed him as Universe 11's God of Destruction.
But unfortunately…
Jiren only cared about getting stronger and avenging his parents' deaths.
He had no interest in anything else.
Vermut had tried several times to convince Jiren to become his God of Destruction candidate, but,
Every time, Jiren refused.
In the end, out of frustration, Vermut chose Toppo instead.
But if Jiren had accepted the role, there was no way Vermut would have ever considered Toppo.
"Hoho~"
Macarita giggled, clearly amused.
"You sound so sure, dear!"
"But this guy is quite strong!"
"Toppo fought with everything he had, yet he couldn't even scratch him!"
Macarita's intuition had always been sharp.
And after watching Toppo's battle, she could tell,
That warrior… had an even greater power hidden within him!
A power he hadn't even used yet.
"Tch!"
Vermut frowned, annoyed by her words.
"So you're saying Jiren might LOSE?!"
Macarita shook her head playfully.
"I didn't say that!"
"I just find this little warrior quite interesting."
"Beating Jiren won't be easy, of course."
"After all, if Jiren weren't so ridiculously strong, you wouldn't have been so desperate to make him your God of Destruction candidate!"
Macarita let out a soft chuckle, her eyes gleaming with intrigue.
She was genuinely curious to see how this battle would unfold.
Would this mysterious warrior be able to challenge Jiren?
Or would Jiren crush him just like he had all others before him?
One thing was certain,
A storm was coming to Universe 11.
