Goku pushed for all he was worth, and his Kamehameha eventually shattered one of Kefla's Potara earrings, causing her to immediately unfuse. Kale and Caulifla dropped out of the ring. Now only Universe 6's two Namekians remained- but not for long. Meanwhile, Goku reverted back to his base form. 

(Later)

With Universe 2, Universe 6, and Universe 3 having been erased, the only two universes left were Universe 7 and Universe 11. After defeating a giant monster that was the result of the last 4 Universe 3 warriors merging at the cost of Android 18 and Piccolo being eliminated, U7's team was recuperating when they were confronted by Universe 11. "Well?" Jiren asked, "How did the last victory you will ever experience feel?"
"Well, that felt great, but 'last' victory isn't exactly accurate." Yamcha replied, "Because we're going to win."
Jiren scoffed. "No matter how much you try, you will always fail."
A small grin appeared on Goku's face. "That's not what I think." He and Jiren walked up to each other and stared each other down.
Goku went Super Saiyan Blue and began to shout, with yellow lightning beginning to crackle around him. "Haaaaaaaa... HAAAAAAAAAA... HURRRAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Goku's aura shot upwards and caused a small eruption of smoke. Eventually, out came Jiren and Goku, battling in midair.
"Man, you really are strong, Jiren! My hands are shaking!" Goku exclaimed while parrying punches.
"Son Goku, why do you seek to become stronger?" Jiren asked as he continued to throw strikes.
"I dunno. I just want to get stronger is all!" Goku replied.
"I see. You don't know." Jiren summed up.
They landed on the ground and Goku did a few backflips in order to put some distance between himself and the Pride Trooper.
"Well, let's begin round two!" Goku said with a small smirk. He looked like he was about to charge when suddenly two blurs raced past him- one red and one blue. 

Vegeta and Yamcha both charged at the same time- totally uncoordinated and not expecting the other to attack at all.
Vegeta looked over at Yamcha in surprise. "Earthling, are you stupid? There's no way you can fight Jiren!"
Yamcha snorted. "Won't know that for sure until I try, right?"
Vegeta scoffed and faced Jiren again. "Fine, have it your way. Seems you have a wish to be disqualified. Jiren!" he called, "Show me your strength!"
Jiren looked at Vegeta as the latter began throwing punches, but Vegeta's attacks had absolutely no effect.
I've never felt an energy so huge and heavy before. But... Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he kept punching. "I'm the one who's going to defeat you and obtain the Super Dragon Balls!" Vegeta declared.
Jiren's eyes sharpened, and he kneed Vegeta in the gut, then hit him in the back of the head, sending the Saiyan Prince skidding face-first across the ground. Jiren began charging up a Power Impact, but then his eyes slightly narrowed and he turned to see Yamcha rushing at him.
"I'm not gonna spectate anymore!" Yamcha shouted as he got ready to throw a punch- and was stopped by an invisible barrier of energy.
Jiren's glare alone stopped him, but that didn't deter Yamcha- he started throwing punches and kicks at Jiren with every ounce of energy he had.
He activated the Kaio-ken times 30.
No effect.
Times 40?
Jiren didn't flinch.
"Dammit!" Yamcha shouted as he jumped backward and pushed himself even more. "Kaio-ken times 50!"
Yamcha rushed forward, getting ready to attack Jiren- and the Pride Trooper hit him with about a thousand punches.
"Ugh!" Yamcha grunted as he went tumbling across the ground. However, Vegeta got back up and attacked as well.

Jiren turned and threw several hundred more punches- and Vegeta dodged them all. A grin spread across the Saiyan Prince's face. I've seen through your attack!
Vegeta landed a solid punch to Jiren's gut.
Jiren looked downright shocked.
Yamcha looked up. "Wow! Great job, Vegeta!"
"Whoa!" Goku exclaimed.
Vegeta began throwing physical strikes, all of which Jiren blocked, but he looked like he was having trouble.
Eventually Vegeta appeared behind Jiren, and when the Pride Trooper whirled around to attack, Vegeta kicked him in the stomach.
"You were stronger and faster when you fought Kakarot!" Vegeta remarked.
This apparently made Jiren mad, because he began to pummel Vegeta, ending his assault with a Power Impact that almost knocked Vegeta off the stage. When the smoke cloud finally cleared, Vegeta was in his base form, bruised and battered. But he was grinning as Jiren landed a few feet in front of him.
"Heh. All that and he isn't even out of breath. Tough bastard!" Vegeta thought aloud.
"You will never be able to beat me." Jiren declared.
"What?!" Vegeta demanded, his eyes growing wide.
"Every attack reeks of arrogance. You fight without conviction or purpose." Jiren said.
Vegeta closed his eyes and chuckled. "Heh. Is that all you have to say? Indeed, I am arrogant." Then he went Super Saiyan Blue. "But, to me, that's precisely what my Saiyan pride is!"
The Prince of All Saiyans began charging up a Final Flash. His aura doubled in size and began crackling with yellow sparks of energy. Vegeta brought his hands together as a yellow ball of energy began burning between them. "I'll never beat you? Don't make me laugh! I can never throw away who I am! Kakarot can have his Ultra Instinct! I'll beat you in my own way, Jiren!"
Vegeta's energy rose higher and higher and higher until it peaked- and stayed peaked.
"H-holy cow, Vegeta! I can't believe your energy's going so high!" Goku exclaimed.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "Jiren! After all you said to me, you're not going to try and dodge this, are you?!"
Jiren's expression remained calm. "Come." he said.
"FINAL FLAAAAAAASH!!!" Vegeta roared as his yellow energy wave rumbled towards Jiren.
