"Looks like you're really confident in your strength… brat!!" Staring at Talot, Champa's voice grew low as the Power of Destruction around him surged, his divine might becoming increasingly oppressive.
The God Ki mobilized within Talot also grew stronger, and the collision of their powers caused the surrounding space to warp slightly.
Beerus, Whis, and Vados, who were present, had now become mere spectators, ready to watch the battle unfold.
At that very instant, Champa and Talot moved simultaneously, both transforming into streaks of aurora-like light and disappearing from where they stood.
'Boom~~!!!!!'
A thunderous explosion echoed through the high skies of the God of Destruction's Planet.
Taking a closer look, the clash between Talot and Champa had already begun.
'Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom!…' The sounds of their limbs colliding stirred up layer upon layer of spatial shockwaves.
Filled with anger, Champa launched a fierce assault, continuously pressuring Talot without pause.
If it were Talot from a year ago, facing Champa's furious attacks, he could only defend passively and would even have to bring out the Super Saiyan Blue form!
But things were different now. After Whis's careful training, he was no longer the same as a year ago. Even against Champa's rabid, relentless assault, he could respond perfectly at the first moment, with plenty of strength left to counterattack.
…
At this moment, Talot's battle instincts were fully unleashed as he devoted himself entirely to the fight.
Although he had only grasped a tiny fragment of Ultra Instinct, that small bit of insight was already enough for him to display a power level far beyond those of the same tier.
"You'd better get a bit more serious, Champa. Don't lose to that kid again, or you'll be completely humiliated." Watching the spectacle below, Beerus shouted toward the sky where Champa was fighting.
Hearing this, the corner of Talot's mouth twitched. That Beerus really thought he wasn't dying fast enough.
Damn it, he was clearly trying to stir up trouble for him on purpose.
Although he knew Beerus wanted Champa to show some real strength so he could experience the true power of a God of Destruction, he wasn't stupid.
At the end of the day, if Champa was truly enraged, even if he could preserve his life, he definitely wouldn't come out unscathed.
"Beerus!! You b*stard, don't get so full of yourself!. Watch how I deal with this brat! Hmph~!" Deeply provoked, Champa's anger swelled, and the Power of Destruction around him grew even denser.
A vast divine pressure expanded rapidly, and the overwhelming godly might surged. An invisible shockwave instantly forced Talot back dozens of meters.
Pushed back, Talot quickly flared his aura to stabilize himself. Completely focused, he stared intently at Champa before him, waiting for his next move.
Meanwhile, Beerus revealed a mischievous grin. After ruthlessly setting Talot up, his mood couldn't have been better.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
Since he was a God of Destruction candidate chosen in the future timeline, he couldn't be this weak. Fighting Champa was also an opportunity for Talot, and he had to seize it well.
On the battlefield.
The clash of their divine might grew increasingly intense, releasing streaks of astonishing godly lightning into the surrounding space.
In that instant, Champa made the first move. His chubby body erupted with astonishing speed, shooting forward like a shell breaking through the dawn sky, charging straight at Talot.
Facing Champa's unstoppable and powerful charge, Talot inwardly drew out a deeper layer of the God Ki energy from within his body and met him head-on.
'Bang!! Boom!!' Two consecutive dull explosions rang out.
Talot and Champa locked their fingers together, their power continuously pouring down upon each other.
Divine might surged, space trembled, and the clash of their powers grew increasingly intense and heated.
Talot kept increasing the intensity of his God Ki, veins bulging on his forehead, muscles across his body tensed, forcefully withstanding Champa's assault.
On the other hand, Champa showed nothing but disdain toward Talot for being able to block his attack.
"The fact that you can block my attack means you've got some skill, but that's all it amounts to. I only need to exert a little more force, and you'll already be at your limit!!" As he spoke, Champa suddenly exerted strength with both hands.
In an instant, Talot felt an incomparably domineering force sweep through his entire body. He lost control immediately, and in the blink of an eye, he was sent flying dozens of kilometers away by that force.
But even after being blasted back that far, Talot showed no sign of stopping.
"Hakai!!" Champa refused to relent and launched another fierce attack at Talot.
He brought his hands together, gathering a profound Power of Destruction in his palms, forming an astonishing purple-red energy sphere.
Once the Power of Destruction had fully condensed, Champa thrust both hands forward, launching the terrifying energy mass. As it advanced, it instantly split apart, dividing into dozens of extremely destructive miniature Destruction Bullets, bombarding Talot from all directions.
The airborne Talot sensed Champa's renewed attack.
Facing this all-encompassing barrage, Talot forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and entered another state.
His divine power was drawn inward, following the flow of energy, skillfully neutralizing the force sweeping through his body from the inside out, regaining control of himself.
At this moment, all the miniature Destruction Bullets had already closed in on Talot, yet his figure moved like a ghost, evading every incoming energy bullet.
After dodging the first wave of attacks, Talot burst upward into the sky, swung both hands forward, and unleashed an extremely violent energy blast from his palms, destroying all the incoming Destruction Bullets.
'Boom~~!!!!!!!!!!!!'
The explosion's flames spread across the sky, and the aftermath shook all directions, stirring up waves of violent turbulence high in the sky.
Champa's attack was once again neutralized by Talot.
At the same time, his movements were observed by Whis, Beerus, and Vados below.
[Although he hasn't fully mastered it yet, he can already begin to use it in battle. In that case, going to the Demon Realm gives him a bit more security. I just wonder how far he can comprehend it through this battle. If he can break through, that would be interesting.]Whis thought to himself in anticipation.
[Has Whis already taught him that technique? Although he's still just a beginner, being able to grasp this divine technique in such a short time makes his talent the most outstanding so far.]Beerus was naturally familiar with the technique Talot was using.
Ultra Instinct!
He could use this technique as well. However, although his mastery of Ultra Instinct was far superior to Talot's, he had yet to train it to its peak state.
Of course, this wasn't because he lacked diligence, but because his path was different.
The Ultra Instinct mastered by Angels and the Power of Destruction mastered by Gods of Destruction were two entirely different powers.
Although Ultra Instinct was a very convenient technique, for someone of Beerus's level, it wasn't an enhancement, but rather his greatest limitation.
His combat style had another name—Ultra Ego.
Only when his Ultra Ego was fully unleashed could he display his full power.
[Ultra Instinct… this human from over five million years in the future has already reached this step? Even if it's only the most basic level, to touch this level at his age…]Vados was equally shocked by Talot's talent, even coveting him.
At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before Talot completely mastered Ultra Instinct.
Such an outstanding prodigy, yet he belonged to Universe 7. If only he were a native lifeform of Universe 6 instead.
