In the space of the Other World.
Talot and Beerus's fight was gradually approaching its end, and the gap between them had begun to reveal itself.
It was not that Talot's rate of growth had surpassed Beerus, but that after Beerus became serious, he displayed overwhelming power.
Strength, speed, reaction time, defense, combat ability—every aspect completely crushed Talot.
The level of the battle also underwent a massive change as Beerus began to exert his strength.
Facing a battle of this level, Talot was faintly showing signs of being unable to endure it.
Not only could he no longer keep up with the rhythm of the fight, but his stamina consumption was also enormous. The dual torment of the external and internal strain had pushed his body almost to its critical limit.
The Super Saiyan Blue + Great Ape's power in its limit break state was already nearing its limit.
His breathing became hurried, and a strong sense of powerlessness began to grow in his heart.
Was it really going to end like this?
No matter how he increased his strength, Beerus would always suppress him mercilessly with even more tyrannical means.
In the face of absolute power, any method appeared so powerless.
No! He had not yet reached his limit. Whether it was the power of the Great Ape or God Ki, there was still a higher level that he had not brought out.
He could still… go one step further!
"What's wrong? Your speed is so slow, and your punches are weak and powerless. With attacks of this level, you still want to keep playing with me? You should know, I've only slightly made a move, yet you can already hardly endure it?" Beerus mocked with a smirk. At the same time, the movements of his hands became increasingly brutal and ruthless. Every attack was extremely fierce, without the slightest restraint.
As the attacks intensified, the pressure on Talot increased, making his scalp tingle.
"Don't get too cocky!!" Talot gritted his teeth. The intense emotional fluctuations stimulated the Saiyan energy gate within his body, further increasing the energy inside him, but no matter how much it rose, it was still useless.
Unless the current Talot could break through his limit once again, evolving from the Super Saiyan Blue Full Power state and reaching the higher-level Super Saiyan Blue Evolved.
But was that possible?
Clearly it was impossible. He had only completed the breakthrough to Super Saiyan Blue Full Power a few minutes ago.
A breakthrough was both the peak form and something achieved only through his constant accumulation and deepened understanding of God Ki.
Moreover, he had even used the power of the Legendary Super Saiyan, stacking it on top of Super Saiyan Blue Full Power. His strength had greatly increased, and it might not necessarily be inferior to the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved state.
[The true power of a God of Destruction is actually this terrifying. The road I have to walk is still very, very long.]At this moment, Talot finally understood in his heart just how terrifying a God of Destruction truly was.
From the beginning of the battle until now, this guy had maintained a playful attitude. He kept saying he was getting serious, but in reality that wasn't the case at all.
At this point, there was nothing left but to go all out.
He would use his final finishing move to end this battle!
"Haah!!" Talot let out a loud shout. In the next second, his entire body crossed through space, rapidly widening the distance between himself and Beerus.
This time, Beerus did not attack again. With a faint smile on his face, he curled his finger at Talot, signaling for him to quickly show whatever techniques he had.
After widening the distance, Talot took a deep breath and adjusted his state. The last of the God Ki and Great Ape power inside his body began to merge and erupt continuously along with his will.
"This move is everything I've got! Take it, Beerus!" Talot continuously gathered energy, raising both hands high.
In an instant, emerald-green lightning exploded in the void as vast energy gathered into a mass, forming an incomparably huge crimson-gold energy sphere.
But this was only the beginning. As God Ki was added, the color of the crimson-gold energy sphere changed, transforming into a dual gold-and-blue hue, with emerald lightning swirling around it, raising its destructive power to an even higher level.
"Annihilation Ball!!!" Talot shouted loudly as he violently hurled the energy sphere that had been condensed to its absolute limit.
Compared to the finishing move he had used before, the destructive power of this technique had increased several times over.
An unstoppable aura of destruction swept through the entire Other World in an extremely short time. Countless souls waiting for judgment inside King Yemma's palace were terrified, the Other World warriors on Grand Kai's Planet felt their scalps go numb, and even the deceased spirits in Hell trembled continuously at this moment.
Facing Talot's super ultimate move poured out with everything he had, even Beerus revealed a look of amazement.
"So this is the final finishing move you poured everything into? It's fairly good. If your strength were a bit greater, the destructive power would be enough to destroy an entire large galaxy." Beerus calmly raised his right hand, faint purple light spreading around his body.
The Power of Destruction gathered in his palm.
"Hakai~!" As Beerus spoke a single word, the invisible Power of Destruction directly blocked the Annihilation Ball.
No!! It hadn't been completely blocked. Beerus's Hakai only slowed the advancing speed of the Annihilation Ball.
"Hm? It seems I underestimated this move. Even Hakai cannot completely eliminate it. Then I will be a bit more serious and use a higher level of Hakai to deal with you!" As he finished speaking, the aura around Beerus changed.
The faint purple light surrounding his body transformed into a purplish-red color, appearing even more unfathomable and filled with boundless destructive power.
The moment this incomparably profound Power of Destruction appeared, Talot clearly felt just how terrifying it was and was instantly shocked into place.
'Crackle~~!!' The Annihilation Ball dissipated in space at a speed visible to the naked eye, completely turning into nothingness.
After crushing the Annihilation Ball, Beerus did not continue attacking. Instead, he placed his hands behind his back and looked proudly at Talot not far away with a smile on his face.
At this moment, after releasing the final Annihilation Ball, Talot had already reached the point of complete exhaustion.
At this stage, there was no need for him to continue persisting. He had lost this battle, and it was a crushing defeat!
"So this is the true power of a God of Destruction… strong like a monster… I'm still far too lacking…" Talot gave a helpless bitter smile.
Completely exhausted, he was forced to cancel his transformation and return to his normal state.
The moment he released the transformation, intense fatigue and emptiness surged over him.
Talot's body instantly lost control and fell onto North Kai's Planet.
The massive overdraft of both body and soul left him gasping for breath. Not only was he unable to speak, but even lifting a single finger became extremely difficult.
Beerus also descended onto North Kai's Planet at this moment. Those cold, sharp eyes looked at the fallen Talot, and he silently nodded.
"It seems Lord Beerus had quite a lot of fun this time." Whis walked over to Beerus's side and handed him the lunchbox he had prepared earlier.
"More or less. This kid barely managed to accompany me for a warm-up exercise." Beerus took the lunchbox from Whis, then leisurely walked over to the table and chairs and sat down.
Seeing that Beerus had no intention of doing anything excessive anymore and was wolfing down his lunchbox, North Kai, standing nearby, didn't even dare breathe loudly and could only remain there like a small transparent presence.
He didn't dare provoke Beerus, especially at a time like this.
His worried gaze looked toward Talot in the distance, and he let out a slight sigh of relief; at least he hadn't been directly destroyed.
