Chapter 258: Chaos Battle!
Cooler and Frieza observed Bojack's actions attentively. While Frieza remained calm throughout, displaying an unshaken demeanor, Cooler also let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems not everyone here is that strong. Some are just trash. If this is the standard of this universe, its strength shouldn't be too impressive," Cooler thought, quickly regaining his confidence.
After all, he had been under a lot of pressure recently. The speed at which Frieza and others improved their strength was astonishing, making Cooler feel left in the dust, as if a colossal wave threatened to crush him.
Now, encountering weaklings like these was the perfect opportunity to vent his frustrations.
In a flash, Cooler appeared beside a small green bird. The creature was startled and hurriedly flew up upon noticing Cooler's sudden arrival.
"Hahaha… Though the rules of the Tournament of Power forbid flying, beings with wings can freely soar. But you, you can't fly, can you?" The green bird mocked arrogantly as it flew into the air.
Cooler, however, folded his arms and stared at the bird emotionlessly.
The next second, he leaped high into the air, darted behind the green bird, and swung his tail fiercely, striking the creature.
The green bird was sent flying out of the arena.
Another contestant from Universe 10 was eliminated.

On the spectator seats, Universe 10's God of Destruction, Rumsshi, was furious. Having three contestants eliminated consecutively not only made him feel the danger but also greatly humiliated him.
"Damn it…!!"
"Why are the fighters from Universe 7 so strong? Practically a one-hit elimination! Where on earth did Beerus find so many powerful warriors?"
Experts could immediately discern the disparity upon witnessing the fights.
Rumsshi was enraged. Even though the tournament was a chaotic elimination battle, losing so many contestants in such a short time made him incredibly anxious.
Adding to his frustration was the undeniable strength of Universe 7's fighters.
Meanwhile, Beerus sat comfortably on Universe 7's seats, appearing completely at ease. After all, the ten fighters he had chosen were exceptionally strong. Even the weakest, Olipod, was an impressive warrior.
In the elimination stage, unless they encountered someone exceptionally strong, they could easily breeze through.
"It seems we stand a good chance of advancing," Whis remarked with a smile as he watched the battle unfold on the stage.
"Of course! After a rigorous selection process, we chose the ten strongest fighters, all of whom were trained by us. If they didn't perform well, it would've been a waste of our efforts," Beerus replied smugly.
Knowing his team was powerful gave him peace of mind, unlike the other Gods of Destruction, who were visibly tense.
Beerus had anticipated such situations and specifically gathered the strongest fighters for intensive training in the realm of destruction. The other universes might not have gone to such lengths, showcasing Beerus's foresight.

While Frieza and others targeted Universe 10, Karl found himself surrounded by fighters from Universe 2.
The fighters of Universe 2 predominantly took on monstrous forms. After encircling Karl, one of them, Pran, launched the first attack.
Pran, a towering giant with a brown body radiating power, charged in.
However…
Karl didn't even exert his full strength. With a single kick, he sent Pran flying out of the arena.
Another fighter, Jimmith, met the same fate, dealt with in just a few moves. Karl sighed inwardly.
"These guys are way too weak," he muttered.
"I originally thought that taking on an entire universe alone might be challenging. But if things get out of hand, I could always lead the enemies to the boss. Is this really the best Universe 2 has to offer?"
Karl was speechless. The power of these fighters wouldn't even count as decent within Universe 7. Any random weakling from his universe could outperform them.
If this represented the peak strength of an entire universe, it made him question reality itself.
Still, since he had already stepped in, he didn't hesitate further. Clearing out these small fry first would save trouble later.

Elsewhere, beyond Universe 7's team, chaos battles were unfolding among other universes.
Cardobe from Universe 3 clashed with Nink from Universe 4.
Their fight hadn't lasted long when a figure quietly appeared between them.
It was Greta.
"Sorry to interrupt, but with your pitiful strength, who gave you the courage to fight here?" Greta said mockingly.
"If you want to fight, go do it elsewhere. This stage isn't meant for the likes of you!"
With that, Greta grabbed them both and hurled them out of the arena. The two couldn't even control their bodies as they were thrown like cannonballs.
Greta was quite cunning, targeting fighters already engaged in battles. These individuals would naturally expose their strengths and weaknesses, making it easy to determine their capability.
On the other hand, those who had yet to act could potentially be wild cards. To avoid unexpected dangers, Greta's strategy was to eliminate fighters already engaged in combat.

Mu Chuan, meanwhile, roamed the arena leisurely. He wasn't actively seeking out opponents, as very few could match him on this stage.
Even Jiren didn't seem to concern him. As long as no one interfered with him, he wouldn't intervene either.
At present, he was focused solely on gathering intelligence.
The remaining fighters on the stage were relatively strong.
Regardless of who they were…
Mu Chuan seemed to be the only one strolling so casually on the battlefield.
His calm and composed demeanor naturally caught the attention of others. Both the Gods of Destruction and Angels noticed him.
"Who is that guy? How can he wander so leisurely in the arena? Isn't he looking for opponents?"
"Moreover, with the chaos everywhere, how can he still be so carefree?"
The Gods of Destruction were astonished.
Was he confident because of his overwhelming strength, or was he just reckless?
Everyone was deeply shocked.
The clown God of Destruction from Universe 11 stared coldly at Mu Chuan and sneered.
"That guy's from Universe 7. No wonder he's so infuriating—he fits perfectly with Beerus's universe."
"However… he's heading straight towards Jiren. Let's see how long he can keep up that act of composure once they meet!"
