After receiving Whis's affirmative reply, Beerus's expression changed again and again, and the way he looked at Talot also shifted.
This brat was even more monstrous than he had imagined.
Although this power of time wasn't strong enough to dominate everything, it was still the power of time.
Even he, a God of Destruction, had not managed to touch the power of time, which was enough to show just how great Talot's future achievements would be.
As Talot continued to grow, this power of time would inevitably become stronger and stronger.
Aside from the power of time, there was also the power of space he had just used, which was equally formidable.
"You've really exceeded my expectations by reaching this level. But you don't actually think that relying on this alone is enough to contend against me, do you? The power of time isn't something that can be used casually. Even if you can control it, you won't be able to use it many times." Beerus narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
The power of time was indeed heaven-defying, but it couldn't be used continuously for long periods. Even Angels couldn't constantly use the power of time.
"You're right. I indeed can't overuse the power of time. However, I don't intend to use that power against you. Speaking of which, thanks to you, I've awakened the power that had been sleeping within my body." Talot smiled slightly, a dazzling divine light flashing through his eyes. At this moment, the God Ki around his body entered a heightened state.
'Huala~~!!'
Endless blue flames burned fiercely around Talot's body. At the same time, outside this layer of blue divine power, a layer of emerald-green lightning appeared.
His aura expanded, and Talot's body began to undergo astonishing expansion visible to the naked eye.
"Hm? You brat… are you able to continue transforming?!" Seeing this scene, Beerus recalled the earlier moments when Talot's strength had surged.
Every massive increase in power had been accompanied by a change in appearance. Judging by the situation now, it seemed he had guessed correctly.
"Yes… and no! After all, even I don't know what kind of transformation it will become." Talot grinned ferociously, and then a flash of emerald-green light appeared in his eyes.
"AAAHHHHH~!!!" Along with Talot's thunder-like roar, the Great Ape's power within his body exploded, and an endless stream of Great Ape's power burst out from within him.
The emerald-green energy flames solidified, attaching themselves to the surface of the blue divine aura of Super Saiyan Blue.
Aside from the change in his aura, Talot's body was also rapidly expanding. In just a few seconds, his height exceeded two meters, reaching over 2.4 or 2.5 meters.
This form closely resembled the muscular appearance of Super Saiyan Grade 3, yet it had a fundamental difference.
It wasn't some special transformation, but rather a form created by the Great Ape's power being stimulated to the extreme and stacking on top of Super Saiyan Blue.
At this moment, Talot's power level experienced explosive growth. His aura continued to expand, becoming stronger and stronger, as if it had no end.
This terrifying pressure stirred the entire Other World, shaking all directions. Even the space reinforced by Angel power continued to tremble under this heaven-defying force.
"The increase in energy is quite impressive. I just wonder what kind of side effects this form has. It looks like it probably can't be maintained for long." Whis observed Talot up and down, and after watching for a few moments, gave his evaluation.
In contrast, North Kai at the side was already so frightened that he was out of his wits and completely at a loss.
The Great Ape might and divine pressure erupting from Talot fused together, causing a tremendous impact on both his body and soul.
Just the pressure alone made him feel a suffocating suppression.
Soon, that fear and unease gradually faded. The only thing North Kai cared about now was whether Talot, with the support of this form, could defeat Beerus.
"Another change in form… you really never stop." Beerus couldn't help but complain.
He had more or less figured it out. Talot's race increased their strength by constantly transforming and evolving.
At this moment, Talot's transformation stabilized. His aura surged like a rainbow, powerful energy swirling around his body. The explosive growth of power within him even caused a strange illusion to arise in his mind.
It felt as if with a simple raise of his hand or step of his foot, he could wipe out everything before him, including God of Destruction Beerus.
Fortunately, his willpower was firm enough. This crazy thought had only just sprouted before he ruthlessly crushed it.
Although his strength had increased tremendously, he had not become arrogant to that extent.
"It worked… my guess was indeed correct!" Calming himself, Talot carefully felt this brand-new form.
The appearance of Super Saiyan Blue, a terrifyingly robust body, and a completely new look that perfectly fused savagery and divinity.
The emerald-green flames on the surface of his God Ki were the manifestation of Great Ape's power reaching its extreme. Likewise, this power had another name—Legendary Super Saiyan power!
Back in the main timeline world, after Talot defeated Broly, he had tried to deeply develop the Great Ape's power from another direction.
At first, he had only roughly found a bit of direction. Now, after fighting Beerus, his understanding of the Great Ape's power had deepened.
During this battle with Beerus, he had continuously broken through himself and stimulated his latent potential, causing the Great Ape's power to evolve once again. Now, he had become an alternative version of the Legendary Super Saiyan!
Different from Broly, he wouldn't lose control. He could freely control the strength of his power, using it at will, and wouldn't fall into self-destruction because the energy was too strong.
After the brief joy passed, Talot shifted his gaze and once again focused on Beerus. Even though his strength had once again greatly increased, he still didn't dare to show the slightest carelessness when facing Beerus.
"Earlier you said that my body was too weak. Then now, try experiencing it again." Talot said politely.
Hearing this, Beerus slightly frowned and looked Talot up and down. After pondering for a few seconds, he said casually, "Your physical strength has indeed improved quite a bit, but… it's only barely acceptable.
"The strength boost of this form is indeed considerable, but this form can't be maintained for long."
With just a few glances, Beerus saw through the flaw in Talot's current transformation.
Unlike Super Saiyan Blue Full Power, which could be maintained for a long time, this form—stacking the power of Legendary Super Saiyan's Great Ape on top of Super Saiyan Blue Full Power—greatly strengthened Talot's body and power level, but it also brought a tremendous burden.
Fighting under such extreme pressure while enduring both internal and external strain meant that with the slightest mistake, his energy would lose balance and explode.
"As expected of a God of Destruction. You saw the flaw of this form at a glance. So next, I'll attack without holding anything back. This will be my final fight!" Talot took a deep breath and assumed a battle stance.
"Hmph. Then come at me, brat." Beerus responded expressionlessly, giving him full respect.
Invisible Power of Destruction surged around his body. The atmosphere became tense and extremely heavy.
Beerus waited for Talot to attack first, while Talot searched for the right opportunity to strike.
"Still not planning to attack? Then I won't hold back." With those words, Beerus moved first. The speed he erupted with was astonishing, and in an instant he appeared right in front of Talot.
