However, could Champa's Sphere of Destruction really be neutralized so easily by Talot?
Obviously not.
'Weng~!!!' The deep and terrifying Sphere of Destruction suddenly shone with an intense purple light.
In an instant, the Sphere of Destruction rapidly expanded in size, swelling to over several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the balance of victory tilted toward Champa. This enormous Sphere of Destruction advanced dominantly, forcefully pushing against Talot's divine shockwaves as it pressed toward him.
"Tch~!!!" Talot felt the absolute pressure and clicked his tongue in irritation.
No matter how much energy he unleashed, he could not completely stop the advance of this Sphere of Destruction. At most, he could only slow it down slightly. His energy was constantly being destroyed and erased.
If this continued, the Sphere of Destruction would sooner or later swallow him whole.
For some reason, it felt as if it was telling everyone that instead of making futile struggles, it would be better to give up resisting.
However, Talot was not an ordinary person.
A bold idea suddenly arose in his mind.
He voluntarily dispersed his divine shockwaves, restraining all his divine power within, his resolute gaze fixed straight on the Sphere of Destruction rushing toward him.
'Hualala~~!!!!' Soon, without any force blocking it, the Sphere of Destruction broke through space and arrived before Talot, as if it intended to completely devour his entire being.
An intense sense of crisis spread through every cell of his body, yet there was not the slightest trace of fear in Talot's eyes as he allowed the massive Sphere of Destruction to engulf him.
"Why go this far? If you had just admitted defeat, you wouldn't have ended up like this." Seeing Talot already swallowed by the Sphere of Destruction, Champa let out a long sigh, deeply regretful.
He had already given Talot a chance to beg for mercy, but the boy refused to accept it.
This was his own choice; he had no one to blame but himself.
Clearly, Champa was certain that Talot would be destroyed by the Sphere of Destruction.
Immediately after, Champa shifted his gaze to Beerus far away on the ground and shouted loudly, "Beerus! After I destroy this kid, you won't blame me, will you?"
Hearing this, Beerus merely snorted lightly and did not respond.
He turned his gaze to Whis beside him, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Rest assured, Lord Beerus. The real show has only just begun. As someone we chose in the future, he won't die so easily. And don't forget, he has already gained some understanding of the power of destruction, and his attainment is not low at all~!" Whis smiled slightly as he explained.
"I hope so. If that kid dies, we'll just have to rewind time and restore him." Beerus crossed his arms and said indifferently.
At this moment, Talot did not just represent himself, but also Beerus's reputation.
Hearing this, although Vados remained expressionless, a huge wave had already stirred in her heart.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that Talot was this outstanding.
Having mastered God Ki and even touched upon Ultra Instinct was one thing, but he had also already achieved some attainment in the Power of Destruction.
"It seems Lord Champa is going to make a fool of himself this time." Vados looked up at the Sphere of Destruction in the sky that had swallowed Talot and murmured.
...
Inside the Sphere of Destruction.
At the very center of the Energy of Destruction, Talot was currently enduring the merciless devastation of the Power of Destruction.
The clothing on his upper body had been completely torn apart, and his powerful physique was covered in shocking wounds. Before any blood could even flow out from the injuries, it was ruthlessly destroyed by the Power of Destruction.
With both his God Ki and Great Ape power erupting simultaneously, Talot could barely hold on, but if this continued, he wouldn't last much longer.
"I have to hurry. This is the perfect opportunity to deepen my understanding of the Power of Destruction…" As he spoke, Talot's mind stirred. Clenching his fists, an incredibly powerful attraction suddenly erupted from within his body.
'Hualala~~!!!' The immense pulling force stirred the surrounding Energy of Destruction, forcibly drawing it into his body in an extremely domineering manner, helping him to experience it more deeply and give birth to his own power of destruction.
An unimaginable pain swept over him, as if the slightest mistake would cause his body to explode instantly.
"So this is Champa's Hakai… truly formidable. Without any mastery over the Power of Destruction, I would have no way to resist it at all! However… it's time for the Great Ape power to fully erupt!!" Gritting his teeth, Talot activated the Great Ape power within him, forcefully suppressing the rampaging Power of Destruction.
At the same time, he accelerated the absorption and assimilation of the Energy of Destruction.
As more and more Energy of Destruction was absorbed, the Sphere of Destruction continuously shrank in size.
...
Outside.
Champa, who had been watching the Sphere of Destruction, suddenly froze in place. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, repeatedly confirming whether he was seeing things.
It looked like his Energy of Destruction was rapidly shrinking?!
No—it really was shrinking!!
"This brat… he can actually neutralize my Hakai?! How is that possible?" Champa was deeply shaken by the scene, unable to believe it.
Such an impossible event had actually become reality; something that had never happened since ancient times.
That attack just now had been unleashed with the intent to kill Talot, its power and level exceeding Talot's by an entire dimension.
Originally, he had planned to see whether Talot had reached the end of his rope, so he could pull back at the critical moment and spare his life.
But who could have imagined that this brat would be so tenacious, even accomplishing the impossible—neutralizing Hakai from the inside out!
This scene not only shocked Champa, but even Vados was moved.
Below, Beerus revealed a proud smile.
As for Whis, he had long expected this outcome, a pleased smile appearing on his face.
"It seems he succeeded, ho ho ho ho~~!" Whis laughed.
...
Back on Talot's side.
The Sphere of Destruction had completely vanished, and Talot's figure reappeared.
However, he looked somewhat disheveled. Because he had forcibly absorbed the Power of Destruction, his form had undergone certain changes.
At this moment, purple lightning crackled around his body, and his originally blue upright hair had turned into purple upright hair. He was panting heavily, his aura strange—fluctuating between strong and weak.
Of course, this purple-haired state was not him transforming into Ultra Ego form by borrowing the Power of Destruction.
Rather, it was a temporary mutation caused by excessive absorption of the Power of Destruction—his hair had been dyed purple by that power.
"Huff… huff… as expected, it was still too much. My understanding of Hakai still needs to improve. However, being able to successfully absorb it this time is a great opportunity for me. I've managed to gain a basic understanding of Hakai." After catching his breath, Talot muttered to himself.
Feeling the Power of Destruction coursing through his body, Talot also intended to use this tyrannical force to take a crucial step forward.
