That seemingly plain fist, which in truth contained boundless destructive power, blasted toward Talot's face.
Talot predicted Beerus's attack in advance and tilted his head to dodge it.
The terrifying pressure of the punch transformed into an aurora-like beam that shot through the air, shaking space as it advanced, disappearing from sight.
After dodging the attack, Beerus revealed smirk, and immediately followed with another barrage of fierce assault like a raging storm.
Talot advanced by retreating. First he neutralized most of Beerus's attacks, quickly widening the distance between them, while simultaneously using another of his abilities.
The power of space!
"Try this!" The moment the words fell, Talot had already rushed in front of Beerus, and a fist infused with the power of space suddenly swung out.
At that moment, Beerus's pupils shrank. His body instinctively turned to dodge, but the edge of Talot's fist still grazed his cheek, tearing the skin slightly, and a drop of crystal-clear divine blood flowed out.
Feeling the pain on his face, Beerus showed a look of surprise. This was the first time in who knows how many years that he had been injured.
"So even with the power of space added, it still failed." Talot showed a disappointed expression. He had been extremely confident in that sudden attack just now, yet the final result was still neutralized by Beerus.
A God of Destruction was far more terrifying than imagined.
"Brat, you've been hiding quite deeply. You've even mastered the power of space to this extent. Being able to injure me is enough for you to be proud of." Beerus raised his hand and wiped the blood from his cheek, smiling instead of getting angry.
Talot knew very well that this was merely the prelude to an approaching storm.
Talot raised his guard. He knew that Beerus's retaliation was about to come.
"Let me show you, you're not the only one who can use the power of space." Beerus grinned as he activated the same spatial ability as Talot.
The moment he threw his punch, the space around Talot shifted, and his entire body was directly teleported in front of Beerus, crashing head-on toward the incoming fist.
Fortunately, Talot had already been on guard. He tilted his head to dodge the strike and seized the opportunity to grab Beerus's wrist.
"As expected, you can also use the power of space." Talot's expression became extremely solemn.
Although the original work never mentioned this aspect, Champa had some attainments in spatial abilities, let alone Beerus.
"I will give you a proper lesson, so you don't become arrogant just because you've mastered some special powers." Beerus showed a wicked smile, and his figure suddenly disappeared. The wrist Talot was holding also vanished into thin air.
Beerus's sudden disappearance made Talot take a deep breath of cold air.
Although it didn't throw him into chaos, it still shocked him deeply.
At once, Talot concentrated his attention, expanding his divine sense, and through the power of space he precisely located Beerus's position.
"There!!" Talot suddenly raised his head, mobilized all the energy in his body, and pushed both hands forward. A violent divine power attack burst out and shot straight toward Beerus.
This was a battle, not a child's game!
If Beerus wanted to teach him a lesson, then he naturally will go all out.
"Hm?!" After sensing the strength of that energy, Beerus was slightly surprised. At the same time, he raised his hand and condensed the Power of Destruction, forming a massive fiery-red energy sphere that he hurled toward Talot.
'Boom~~!!!' The two finishing techniques collided, erupting with extremely fierce lightning flashes and deafening rumbles.
The Other World was swept by the storm of energy waves, continuing to tremble violently.
The energy of both sides was evenly matched, appearing to be on par.
"Not bad. You can actually withstand my attack. But that's as far as it goes, now go back!" As the words fell, a dark purple glow flickered around Beerus. In an instant, the giant fireball he released suddenly expanded, its volume exceeding a thousand meters, its oppressive force and impact increasing severalfold.
This situation caused every cell in Talot's body to feel a fatal threat. Without time to think, he used Instant Transmission. In the blink of an eye, he escaped the attack range.
When he appeared again, Talot had already descended behind Beerus, launching fierce punches and kicks like raindrops toward Beerus's back.
"Heh heh heh…" Facing Talot's ferocious assault, Beerus merely smiled faintly. His figure suddenly disappeared, effortlessly evading all of Talot's attacks.
"What?!" His attack being neutralized again caused Talot to reveal an embarrassed expression. This time he had poured everything into the ambush. Was it still completely ineffective?
"Haven't you realized it yet? You and I are not on the same level." The moment the words fell, Beerus suddenly reappeared and launched his attack.
Without any suspense, Talot fell into a disadvantage.
'Bang! Bam! Bang! Bam!…' The collisions between their limbs erupted with astonishing flashes of destructive lightning.
The injuries on Talot's body continued to increase. Although the God of Destruction clothing on Beerus had also been damaged, the two simply could not be compared.
One was wounded, while the other merely had a torn corner of his clothes.
Even with Super Saiyan Blue Full Power stacked with the peak Legendary Super Saiyan's Great Ape power, it still could not compare to God of Destruction Beerus.
It should be known that Beerus had not been serious at all.
If this guy had used even a little more of his true strength to fight Talot, the battle would have ended in an instant.
Completely immersed in the battle, Talot cast aside all distracting thoughts and devoted himself entirely to the fight.
Talot should be grateful that Beerus regarded him as a successor, which was why he held back everywhere, tested him everywhere, and guided him everywhere…
'Boom~~!!!' Another collision between the two set off a deafening rumble.
Talot and Beerus were both pushed back by the recoil of their power, but Talot was blasted back dozens of meters, while Beerus merely stepped back less than three meters.
"Good brat. You can make me use power at this level! But now you've already reached your limit." Not continuing the attack, Beerus narrowed his eyes, revealing a smile that was both appreciative and teasing.
At this moment, Talot's body had indeed reached its limit. But for the battle to end here, he was truly unwilling to accept it.
After training until now and becoming this powerful, Talot had always believed himself to be more outstanding than the original work's Goku.
Now it seemed that he was not even as good as…
