"I ran into him by chance once. At the time, I was almost killed by him. Later, I proposed a fair duel. He suppressed his strength to the same level as mine and fought me. In that battle, I won," Talot said without hesitation, recounting his experience fighting God of Destruction Champa.
After learning that Talot had not only met Champa but had even defeated him, Beerus became even more intrigued.
He had been bored out of his mind.
This time, something interesting had finally happened at the Sacred World of the Kai, and now it even involved Talot, a person from the future.
It had to be said, Beerus was quite surprised. According to Talot, he had defeated God of Destruction Champa head-on. With such an achievement, it was no wonder he had become a God of Destruction candidate.
Although in his view, the current Talot was not particularly powerful, his potential was limitless. This made Beerus develop the urge to properly test him.
Since the future version of himself was still sleeping, the present him would reluctantly handle a bit of business on behalf of his future self.
"Interesting, truly interesting. Although Champa is arrogant and conceited, the fact that a God of Destruction lost at your hands is indeed surprising. If I'm not mistaken, the Z Sword in the Sacred World of the Kai was also pulled out by you, correct?" Beerus narrowed his eyes, resting his chin on his right hand as he sized Talot up without restraint.
Hearing this, Talot did not hide anything and directly admitted, "That's right. I was the one who pulled out the Z Sword. And by the way, I also released the Old Supreme Kai who had been sealed inside the sword."
"Hmph! You're quite thoughtful. It seems you've gained quite a few benefits from that old fellow in the future," Beerus sneered.
Talot could clearly feel the strong interest in Beerus's eyes.
No matter how slow he was, Talot could guess that a fight was inevitable today.
Sparring with God of Destruction Beerus, under preconditions, meant he did not have to worry about being killed.
A fighting spirit ignited within Talot, and excitement made his hands itch.
Ever since his strength had increased after arriving in this timeline, he had truly wanted to find a powerful opponent to battle.
But opponents of the same level were simply too hard to find.
Meanwhile, Whis had unknowingly stepped aside and, with great interest, took out a lunchbox he had prepared in advance, intending to slowly enjoy the show.
He even brought North Kai along.
He was a bit curious. Since his future self valued this person, just how capable was he?
At this moment, North Kai was completely at a loss for words.
So many explosive revelations had left his mind in chaos.
But judging from the current situation, his disciple from more than five million years in the future… was now going to fight with God of Destruction Beerus?
Damn it, on his North Kai's Planet?!
Not to mention whether his North Kai's Planet could withstand it. Just the shockwaves from the battle between these two alone would likely turn the entire Other World upside down.
North Kai instinctively wanted to stop them, yet he was powerless.
When even the God of Destruction Beerus had said nothing, since when was it his place, a mere North Kai, to interrupt?
If he failed to read the situation and didn't quietly make himself invisible now, he might not even know how he died later.
[Please, please… if you two start fighting, just don't blow up my planet.]North Kai prayed silently in his heart.
At the side, Whis appeared calm and unmoved, but in reality, he had already used Angel power to reinforce the spatial barrier of the entire Other World, and also strengthened North Kai's Planet.
Otherwise, once these two began fighting, the entire space would likely be overturned.
Talot and Beerus's gazes collided. The auras of two top-tier powerhouses clashed against each other, and the invisible pressure generated between them caused the surrounding space to visibly distort.
It seemed that even the slightest movement from them would reach the limits of what this space could endure.
"Boy, you said you defeated Champa. Then come exchange a few moves with me. I'm quite curious how you managed to defeat Champa," Beerus asked with a smile.
"Sure. I couldn't ask for more. Being able to fight you is a great honor for me. I was just worrying about not being able to find a suitable opponent," Talot agreed without hesitation.
The moment his words fell, Talot directly mobilized the Super Saiyan energy within his body.
"Wooooosh~~~!!!"
Golden flames surged up from beneath Talot's feet, spiraling and enveloping his entire body.
As his black hair transformed into upright golden spikes, Talot entered Super Saiyan Full Power.
With 800 billion power level unleashed at full output, and the invisible amplification of God Ki, his strength experienced explosive growth. Though it appeared to be only 800 billion in power level, in reality, it had reached the trillion-level.
"Transformation?? Not only did your hair turn golden, even your eyes changed. The increase in strength is indeed considerable. And there's an invisible divine power augmenting you. In the current universe, there are only a handful who can rival you. Your strength is indeed impressive. But this shouldn't be your full power, right?" Beerus saw at a glance that Talot was holding back.
It could only be said that he is worthy of being a God of Destruction. His insight was truly sharp.
Having his hidden strength seen through, Talot did not panic at all. He stretched his muscles, warming up, and smiled slightly. "Don't rush. You wouldn't want such a rare battle to end after just a few casual exchanges, would you?"
"It seems you're quite confident in your strength. Very well. I hope you won't end up being played to death by me," Beerus grinned wickedly. In this world, daring to play with a God of Destruction came at a price.
And that price was extremely costly.
The two locked eyes once more. As a sharp glint flashed in Talot's eyes, both of them simultaneously turned into afterimages and vanished from their spots.
When they reappeared, they were already high above North Kai's Planet.
"BOOM!!!!"
A thunderous explosion shook the entire Other World.
At the same time, it signified that their battle had officially begun.
Talot's near full-power divine punch was blocked by Beerus with a single hand, and all of its force was effortlessly neutralized.
"As expected, truly domineering," Talot had anticipated this. In the next second, his aura exploded outward. The power of the Great Ape and God Ki augmented him simultaneously. In an instant, his power level surged explosively as he quickly retracted his fist.
A relentless and overwhelming offensive followed, striking toward Beerus's body like a torrential downpour.
"Bang! Boom! Bam! Crash! …"
As waves of heart-shaking explosions erupted through space, the battle between Talot and Beerus officially ignited.
With the dual amplification of Great Ape power and God Ki, even Kid Buu from a month ago would have been completely crushed. Yet the God of Destruction Beerus before him was not affected at all, his rhythm unshaken. He handled it with ease, even enjoying himself.
Simply put, to Beerus, this was nothing more than a child's play that isn't worth mentioning; at most, they might serve as a brief warm-up for him.
"Boy, you think this level is enough to play with me? You're still far too green!" As he spoke, Beerus casually kicked toward Talot's chest.
