Chapter 282: The Wish of Victory!
"The Tournament of Power has officially ended!"
"Congratulations to the Seventh Universe for winning!"
The voice of the Grand Priest echoed throughout the Null Realm. Survivors from the Seventh Universe, as well as those from the other four remaining universes, all heard the announcement.
Everyone silently awaited what would come next.
The brutal battle had finally concluded, and now it was time for the victors to claim their reward.
"The last remaining fighter can make a wish, right?"
Suddenly, as the Grand Priest declared the Seventh Universe victorious, Mu Chuan's voice broke the silence.
His words interrupted everyone's thoughts, and all eyes turned to him. After all, it was indeed mentioned at the beginning that the last survivor would be granted a wish. But now, curiosity filled the air—what kind of wish would Mu Chuan make?
"What do you think he will wish for?"
"I have no idea. All this time, he's been pursuing power. Perhaps he'll wish for something related to further strengthening himself. Considering his current strength, any enhancement could make him unimaginably terrifying."
Others nodded in agreement, thinking this was indeed a plausible direction.
Everyone was deeply curious…
The Grand Priest, hearing Mu Chuan's question, was momentarily stunned.
"That is correct…"
"So, what is your wish?"
"My wish is to restore the erased universes!"
Mu Chuan didn't have any other wish in mind. To him, this was just a battle; there was no need to sacrifice the lives of entire universes for it. Even from his perspective, such a practice was inhumane.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the gods, these lives were insignificant.
But when considering the countless lives erased, Mu Chuan felt it was his responsibility. If he had the chance to change it, he would willingly use this wish for that purpose.
As soon as he said this, everyone present froze.
"What?"
"Did he just say he wants to restore all the erased universes? Does that mean… he plans to revive everyone from those destroyed universes?"
The shock among the crowd was palpable. This was a chance to make a wish to Zeno himself!
As long as it wasn't overly outrageous…
Almost any wish could be granted. Yet, Mu Chuan was using this precious opportunity to restore the erased universes.
Everyone found this choice utterly incomprehensible.
Some even doubted whether such a wish was possible. After all, it wasn't just one or two universes—they were talking about seven entire universes!
Erasing them was simple, a mere snap of the fingers. But restoring them? That wasn't as straightforward as it sounded.
Amid the collective astonishment, all eyes turned to the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest quickly regained his composure.
"Are you sure you don't want to use this wish for yourself?"
"It's unnecessary. Whether it's increasing my strength or fulfilling other desires, I can achieve them step by step myself!"
"Do you think my wish is achievable?"
The Grand Priest smiled and replied, "Of course. There's no wish the Super Shenron cannot grant!"
Hearing the Grand Priest's confirmation, Mu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was possible. The sacrifices of those universes wouldn't be in vain, as they could be restored.
If it had been the Dragon Balls from Earth or Namek, such a wish might have been impossible to grant. After all, these were entire universes.
Once the Grand Priest agreed, he summoned the Super Shenron. The colossal golden dragon coiled around everyone, its immense form stretching beyond the limits of perception.
The dazzling golden scales radiated overwhelming power.
This was the Super Shenron!
The fighters of the Seventh Universe looked up in awe. Its sheer size was unimaginable—far larger than any planet, appearing to occupy the entirety of a universe.
Its vastness defied comprehension.
"Super Shenron, restore the seven universes that were erased!"
The Grand Priest spoke calmly in the divine language. Once he finished, the Super Shenron's eyes glowed with mysterious light.
In an instant, the previously empty spectator seats were filled with countless figures—warriors from the erased universes, now revived.
In that moment…
The once-desolate Null Realm became lively again.
As the wish was fulfilled, the Super Shenron transformed into radiant light and vanished.
The Grand Priest said, "Your wish has been granted!"
Mu Chuan nodded silently, observing the restored crowd around him. This confirmed that the Super Shenron could indeed fulfill such a wish.
Those who had been revived looked dazed, unable to comprehend the situation. After all, they distinctly remembered being erased.
Yet now…
Not only did they retain their memories, but they had also been fully restored. Looking around, they saw themselves once again in the spectator stands.
"What's going on? I remember being erased," said one of the warriors from the Pride Troopers, the runners-up in the tournament. Despite their strong performance, they couldn't escape erasure.
But their memories were clear—they had been destroyed. Looking around, however, they noticed other previously erased fighters were also present.
"What's happening? We've been revived?" Champa touched his body, astonished.
As a God of Destruction, he quickly pieced together the truth but still couldn't understand why they had been revived.
Vados smiled and said, "Welcome back, Lord Champa!"
"What happened to us?"
"In short, the Seventh Universe used their final wish to revive all the erased universes."
Hearing this, Champa was stunned. He couldn't believe that someone would use such a precious wish to revive the other universes.
This wish could have realized any desire, no matter how difficult, as long as it wasn't beyond the Super Shenron's power.
And yet…
Someone had chosen to use this priceless opportunity to bring back the erased universes. It was an incredible gesture.
Everyone was speechless…
Now, understanding the situation, all eyes turned to the sole figure on the stage.
Or rather, what remained of the stage—a fragment of floating debris resembling a small star.
This lone figure attracted everyone's gaze, and their hearts were filled with gratitude. Being brought back to life was a tremendous gift.
Whether they were warriors or Gods of Destruction, they couldn't help but feel thankful. This was their second chance at life!
Even Jiren, typically stoic and emotionless, allowed a faint smile to appear.
"As expected of the one who defeated me!"
