Sensing the meaning in Beerus's eyes, Talot gritted his teeth and, at the Super Saiyan 2 peak, further increased his mobilization of the Great Ape's power.
'Boom~~!!' Within the violent golden aura flashed a trace of jade-green light, and the powerful energy surged like a raging torrent.
Under the dual enhancement of Super Saiyan 2 peak and the Great Ape's power, his power level skyrocketed in a straight line, reaching 20 trillion, and was still continuously rising.
Beerus's gaze swept up and down Talot's body, the teasing smile on his face growing heavier.
The current Talot was indeed very powerful, but in his eyes, he was still an ant.
Though arrogant, there was no helping it—the reality was just this cruel.
As a God of Destruction, his strength was far too great. Let alone mere trillion, even if Talot were to ascend another dimension, he would still be far from comparable to his current self.
In the distance, after his aura stabilized, a chilling cold glint flashed in Talot's eyes. His aura restrained inward as he prepared for battle once more.
"If you're ready, then come at me, boy," Beerus said casually.
Those words were infuriating.
"Fine!" Talot would naturally not let such a good opportunity slip by. The moment the words left his mouth, he had already dashed in front of Beerus.
A planet-destroying punch, driven by the power of his entire body, swung straight at Beerus.
Seeing this, Beerus casually sidestepped, perfectly evading the strike.
'Boom~~!!' A heaven-shaking explosion resounded as the powerful shockwave of the punch tore through space with unstoppable force, sweeping across the entire North Kai's Planet.
Swept up by the fierce gust, North Kai was instantly blown away. Fortunately, he grabbed onto the roof of his round house, preventing himself from being blasted off North Kai's Planet.
As for Whis, he was still enjoying his lunchbox. The powerful storm was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing past him.
With his attack missing, Talot once again swung his fists, fiercely bombarding Beerus's body.
His fists and kicks were unstoppable, sweeping over Beerus like a torrential storm.
This time, both the power and speed of his attacks had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Yet Beerus still neither dodged nor retreated. He merely casually raised his right hand and, with a single index finger, effortlessly blocked all of Talot's attacks.
Super Saiyan 2 stacked with the power of the Great Ape, yet this guy blocked it with just a single finger.
"Boy, have you finished attacking? Next, it's my turn." As his words fell, a cold glint flashed through Beerus's eyes.
In the next second, his right hand instantly thrust toward Talot. His index finger bent slightly, then exerted force violently.
'Bang!!!' Talot, unable to defend in time, was struck directly in the center of his forehead.
Hit by this powerful blow, Talot was sent flying like a kite with its string cut. The force of the strike was so terrifying that he nearly lost consciousness.
After being blasted back over a thousand meters, Talot barely managed to stabilize his body. Forcibly suppressing the pain in his forehead, his sharp gaze swept forward, yet the space before him no longer held any trace of Beerus.
Beerus himself had already appeared silently behind Talot.
A chill swept in from behind. Talot instinctively sensed the danger, spun around quickly, and unleashed a powerful roundhouse kick that tore through the air.
'Bang!!!' A muffled explosion resounded.
The strike was casually blocked by Beerus, who effortlessly grabbed Talot's ankle.
"What?!" With his ankle restrained, Talot continuously erupted with power in an attempt to break free. However, Beerus's strength was beyond imagination. No matter how he struggled, he could not move in the slightest.
"Your combat instincts aren't bad. I concealed all my aura just now, yet you still reacted?" Beerus smiled indifferently and, with a casual flick, hurled Talot away like a toy.
Swept away by the tremendous force, Talot tumbled several times high in the sky, flying back hundreds of meters before barely stopping.
The instant he regained control of his body, Beerus closed in again and threw a seemingly casual punch.
Though it looked ordinary, it contained ultimate destructive power; there was no time to dodge.
'Bang!!' The unstoppable strike hit Talot squarely in the abdomen.
The terrifying force penetrated his body, churning his internal organs. Talot spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura plummeting as he completely lost control and was blasted away.
"Heh heh heh…" Seeing that Talot had already suffered heavy damage, Beerus had no intention of letting him off so easily. His figure vanished like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he arrived ahead of where Talot would land and delivered a upward kick.
'Bang!!!' The blow struck solidly against Talot's back.
The irresistible force sent Talot soaring high into the sky. The pain surging from his back twisted his features and made his entire body convulse.
His body, tempered through countless trials, had nearly collapsed after just these two attacks from Beerus.
Fortunately, his physical constitution was strong enough, and he had not yet revealed his full power.
Otherwise, those two attacks alone would have crippled him.
Enduring the pain as if his body were being shattered to pieces, Talot erupted with aura to forcibly regain control of himself and slowly turned around.
However, Beerus had already appeared before him.
That arrogant posture, that gaze of contempt toward all living beings, radiated unmatched dominance and inviolable divine authority.
"Boy, if this is all the strength you have, you truly disappoint me." Beerus shook his head repeatedly and let out a long sigh.
"Not fun. Not fun at all. With only this level of power, you don't even qualify to make me use one hundred-millionth of my strength. This boring game ends here." Beerus put on an extremely disappointed expression, continuously provoking Talot.
End just like that?
What a joke!
With such a fine opponent right before him, how could Talot possibly let it end here?
"It's not over yet."
The fighting genes within his body erupted completely. After enduring Beerus's two heavy blows, Talot's potential was also being unleashed.
Battle intent burned fiercely in his eyes. There was not a trace of retreat as his aura rose steadily higher.
"As expected of God of Destruction Beerus, you're truly powerful. Even Super Saiyan 2 can't shake you in the slightest… but that was within my expectations." Talot let out a cold laugh, casually wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and adjusting his condition.
At the same time, the S-cells within his body continued to split, intensify, and split again as his battle intent soared.
Sensing the change in Talot's aura, Beerus, who had been extremely disappointed, became interested once more.
"It seems you've been hiding your strength. But are you so confident that I won't kill you before you can bring out your full power?" Beerus said to Talot, his hands behind his back, standing with the poise of a deity.
As the strongest God of Destruction, he only needed to act slightly to toy Talot to death.
"I don't think I need to answer that question. After all, I'm still alive, aren't I? Next… Super Saiyan 3!!!" With a thunderous roar, Talot's body erupted with terrifying golden flames.
Within it was the power of the Great Ape and divine might. The two intertwined and rapidly expanded outward with Talot at the center.
