Although it's not yet 100% confirmed, but Herms state that the translation read as "universe." The same source also stated, "as in those things they have twelve of." Sounds like a Multiverse Tournament it is.
That's "universe" (宇宙/uchuu) as in those things they have twelve of. So this sounds very much like the "multiverse tournament". — Todd Blankenship (@Herms98) December 14, 2016
