Episode 298: Wrecking the House? No, THIS IS ALREADY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH!!!
『 On the Ground.
Since Goku and Beerus had already fought so far away, Bulma and the others could no longer see them at all. Everyone was extremely anxious!
Master Roshi asked, "Bulma, do you have any way for us to catch up?"
Bulma shouted back, "Everyone, follow me!"
All those who couldn't fly followed Bulma onto a metal platform.
This platform looked quite ordinary, but it was actually a flying vehicle.
Two fan-shaped arcs rose from the ground to enclose it, making it look like a turtle.
Though unimposing in appearance, this flying vehicle was extraordinary. Not only could it travel through space and dive deep into the ocean, but it could also catch up to a Super Saiyan at extreme speeds. It was truly incredible.
Vegeta glanced at the device. This was something his wife had invented, so he knew it well.
With this vehicle protecting them, he didn't need to worry about them constantly. Thus, he decided not to go with the group.
Instead, a powerful aura erupted from his body as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and flew directly toward the direction of the battle.
Piccolo did something similar, following closely behind Vegeta. A yellow streak and a green streak of light instantly vanished into the horizon.
"Over here!"
Piccolo was the first to locate Goku. He marked the spot in the air so everyone could find the correct direction.
Goten and Trunks' expressions changed when they saw the situation below. At that moment, their fathers were constantly being pushed back and sent flying, completely unable to fight.
"Dad is getting beaten so badly!"
"Hmph!"
Even though he was taking a severe beating, Goku had absolutely no intention of giving up!
After having several consecutive attacks blocked, his movements began to grow a bit chaotic.
THUD—!
Beerus kicked Goku once again.
Like a white streak, Goku crashed through a vast forest. After flying for several kilometers, he finally stopped when he slammed into a distant cliff.
This kick would have been a devastating blow to an ordinary person, but to Beerus, it was just a very casual strike.
The next moment, Beerus appeared at the edge of the cliff.
Looking at Goku, who had smashed a massive crater into the rocks, he said loudly, "Not bad. Your defensive capability is pretty good."
He threw another punch.
With a cry of pain from Goku, his body flew out from the other side of the cliff like a cannonball, shattering numerous stone pillars and brushing past a giant dinosaur nearby, startling the massive beast.
Only then did the audience realize that although this world looked very similar to an ordinary Earth, there were still differences. For instance, those long-extinct dinosaurs were actually still alive!
Beerus's figure vanished once more, keeping right on Goku's heels, ready for the next attack at any moment, giving him absolutely no room to breathe.
This flight distance was at least dozens of kilometers long, and they hit quite a few obstacles along the way.
If not for that, this single blow might have sent Goku flying over a hundred kilometers. This speed was simply faster than a rocket!
At this moment, Goku straightened his back!
Seeing Beerus rushing toward him, he roared. The power within his body surged violently, and he seemed to return to his peak state once again!
"Ha!"
He also charged toward Beerus, and the two clashed in the middle.
The crowd thought Beerus would send Goku flying just like before, leaving him with absolutely no room to fight back.
But what happened next was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
BANG—!
Goku crossed his arms in front of him, actually blocking Beerus's strike.
Beerus had used real power this time. He hadn't expected it to be blocked, and even he himself was surprised by this turn of events.
However, this force did not simply vanish. With a loud boom, the surrounding area within several kilometers sank by nearly ten meters. The vast desert turned into a basin, and giant stone pillars collapsed in all directions. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Is this a battle, or are they just remodeling the house?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "No, this counts as remodeling the Earth." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "A few more hits like that, and that place is going to be completely gone." ]

〜One Punch Man World〜
The Hero Association—
At this moment, everyone in the association stared blankly at the screen showing Beerus and Goku.
Their power involuntarily made everyone think of Saitama!
But it seemed…
This Son Goku was far more formidable than Saitama!
With a single punch from Goku, even a top-tier monster in their world wouldn't be able to block it, right?
And then there was the God of Destruction!
If the God of Destruction came to Earth, the level of disaster would be completely immeasurable!
Even if all the heroes on Earth joined forces, they would be nothing more than toys in Beerus's hands!
Even someone as strong as Vegeta was just a minor character in front of Beerus!
What was true power?
Beerus was the very definition of a powerhouse!
"I wonder if there are monsters like this in our universe!"
Tatsumaki's face suddenly turned pale.
"If he lands a punch like that on me, I'm definitely finished!"
Superalloy Darkshine's massive, hyper-muscular physique began to shake, his polished, obsidian-dark skin losing its confident gleam as he subconsciously wrapped his massive arms around his own torso.
Hearing these words from the physically powerful Superalloy Darkshine, everyone understood that this wasn't humility, but a hard fact!
Their clash had already surpassed the limits of their own world!
At this moment, Bang whispered,
"It's not that bad. I think Saitama still has potential!"
Bang spoke of potential.
But if this potential couldn't be tapped into, it would be useless!
However, unlocking Saitama's potential wasn't something they could decide. It depended on himself and the help of an even stronger existence.
( Translator-kun: I've never seen Saitama get truly serious in a fight, so it's hard to gauge his real power.)
—
『 Goku lowered his hands. Although he had blocked Beerus's attack, a trace of the residual force still left a cut on his face!
Looking at Beerus opposite him, not only did he show no fear, but a slight smile also played at the corner of his mouth.
Beerus remained in his fighting stance, clearly taking Goku seriously this time.
Before, he had a relaxed look, but now he was fully focused and preparing for a decisive battle. This shift in attitude was very obvious.
He asked coldly, "Do you still not want to become a god?"
"That's right!"
Goku did not change his mind despite the continuous attacks. After responding, he immediately charged forward.
BANG—!
The two clashed again, and the ground beneath them caved in once more. Their fist force was astonishing, whipping up powerful gusts of wind around them, even triggering lightning and thunder!
"Your pride will be your weakness!"
Beerus leaped up and struck Goku hard in the face. Goku was sent flying, crashing into a massive rock in the distance.
That giant rock was thousands of meters in diameter, a massive monolith.
The moment Goku crashed into it, the entire mountain shook before falling into the nearby sea.
In an instant! Massive waves erupted on the sea's surface!
A huge tsunami surged into the distance.
As the rock sank to the bottom of the sea, it formed a massive whirlpool, and Goku happened to stand right above this vortex.
Goku wanted to fly upward, but Beerus beat him to it, appearing above his head and striking down heavily once again.
"Argh!"
Goku dodged to the side, splitting the ocean below in half as he flew.
The sea, which was thousands of meters deep, was actually split by the two into a crevice about a thousand meters wide. Even as they stood in the middle of the crevice, it looked as if there was no water beneath their feet!
They continued to clash, their movements going deeper and deeper underground. They traded blows back and forth, and even solid rock could not stop their battle.
High in the sky, Bulma's spaceship finally arrived.
Looking at the bottomless crater below, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
"Where's Goku?"
Bulma looked at the slowly collapsing cave. It seemed empty inside, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Master Roshi muttered, "He's probably fought his way into the Earth's core."
"The Earth's core?"
For a moment, everyone's expressions turned grim.
What did it mean for two such powerful beings to enter the center of the Earth?
The only outcome would be destruction!
Anxiety filled Bulma's eyes.
Chi-Chi clasped her hands in prayer.
Because Krillin and Master Roshi knew Goku, they held almost no illusions about his safety. They knew that once a fight started, this guy was a complete, reckless berserker who didn't care about his own life.
Master Roshi said softly, "Though hope is slim, we can only pray that Beerus will show mercy and not actually destroy the Earth!"
Outside, Krillin and the others hovered in mid-air. They possessed extraordinary strength themselves. Although they couldn't see exactly what was happening below, they could feel the intense atmosphere of confrontation radiating from there!
Krillin muttered in a low voice, "What incredible power! Just what kind of deity is this God of Destruction? Even as strong as Goku is, he can't handle him!"
Tien Shinhan looked at the towering walls of seawater on both sides. The sea, which originally symbolized the boundless power of nature, now seemed to fear these two masters. Although the water level kept rising, it did not dare to crash down.
"Beerus is too terrifying. Whether in power or skill, he is beyond the reach of ordinary people. We can only hope Goku wins. But if he can't, we shouldn't be surprised. At least he can have a good time. Perhaps that will save our planet!"
"What boring pride!"
"A Saiyan who cares so much about face is truly rare!"
During the battle, Beerus lamented from the side.
Goku responded with a smirk, "You've got it backward. Vegeta is much more thin-skinned than I am!"
The two continued to descend, finally reaching a massive cave that looked as if it had been carved out by a river. It was also filled with water!
Surprise showed on Goku's face. He tapped the water's surface lightly with his toes, then quickly flashed to the side.
At this moment, neither he nor Beerus actively launched an attack, falling into a silent standoff once again. 』

〜Dragon Ball World〜
Bulma's House—
Vegeta looked at Goku, pointing at him on the screen, his eyes filled with displeasure. He said,
"Kakarot, what is the meaning of this? Are you using me as a shield?"
Goku replied with a laugh,
"Actually, I don't quite get it either. But when it comes to pride, you really are something else compared to me."
Vegeta crossed his arms and said coldly,
"Pride has its time and place. Why don't you ever understand? When it comes to fighting, you are the one who is more confident. Maybe that's where I fall short of you!"
"Huh?"
Goku looked at Vegeta in surprise. He hadn't expected Vegeta to say such a thing!
His bewildered expression made Vegeta shake his head helplessly. This simple-minded guy was truly beyond help.
—
『 Hearing the name Vegeta, a trace of admiration actually appeared in Beerus's eyes.
"That's true. Did you know? Earlier, Vegeta cast aside his pride to protect you all."
Goku said, "I know. He is the Prince of Saiyans. To be able to cast aside his pride to protect everyone is truly amazing! I really admire him for that!" 』
『 .....』
〜Dragon Ball World〜
Bulma's House—
A blush appeared on Vegeta's face.
It was hard to tell if he was embarrassed by Goku's praise or Beerus's praise!
—
『 Hearing this, Beerus's gaze turned serious. "So, did you also cast aside your pride to become Super Saiyan God?"
"That's right!" Goku responded seriously.
At this moment, the people standing on the ground could only faintly hear some soft sounds from below, but they couldn't hear the specifics at all.
Piccolo's senses were very sharp, so Krillin asked him, "What are they talking about down there?"
"I'm not sure, but it feels to me like Goku is undergoing some kind of training."
"To tell you the truth, fighting you hasn't been satisfying for me either. You're not the only one who feels frustrated!"
Goku looked at Beerus in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
Beerus said helplessly, "I haven't used my full power at all. It's probably not even thirty percent of my real strength."
Hearing this, Goku responded in surprise, "Seriously?"
"Geez, I've already used eighty percent of my power. It seems the Lord of Destruction is indeed very strong!"
Hearing this response, Beerus frowned and shouted, "What? You only used eighty percent to get this far?!"
Holding back power while fighting him!
This was a massive insult to him!
"Can you keep up with my speed now?"
In an instant, Beerus's speed surged.
But at this moment, Goku had calmed down. Not only did he block the opponent's attacks, but he also tried to counterattack.
Unfortunately, the person he was facing was Beerus. All his counterattacks missed, completely useless!
"Hey, is this all you've got?"
Despite this, the two still traded blows back and forth.
However, Beerus was highly skilled, always keeping himself just slightly stronger than Goku to keep the fight interesting!
"That's it!"
Just as Goku prepared to launch another attack on Beerus, his energy flame suddenly vanished, and his hair slowly reverted to its original black color.
At this moment, Beerus was fighting with great enjoyment and was a bit out of control. He threw a punch without holding back.
This strike landed directly on the ordinary Goku, sending him flying like a cannonball, unable to make any struggle in the air.
Beerus secretly worried: Did I go too hard on him this time?
But!
Goku's greatest strength had never been his power!
It was his spirit of putting his entire soul into the battle!
As long as he still had a breath left!
He had to keep fighting!
Thus, as Goku's body was sent flying, seemingly having lost consciousness, the moment Beerus arrived in front of him, he suddenly woke up.
He flipped in mid-air and threw a powerful punch at Beerus!
Beerus's movements were extremely fast. Even when Goku was in his Super Saiyan God mode, it was hard to keep up with him.
But now, Goku could not only keep up with his speed but also actively launch an attack!
This greatly surprised Beerus!
This kid…
He tried to defend, only to find that Goku's power was exceptionally strong. It hadn't weakened because of his exit from the Super Saiyan God state; instead, it seemed even stronger!
The expression on his face showed his shock.
How is this possible…
To test his hypothesis, Beerus increased his attack power once again and launched a new assault. The sheer strength of this power shocked everyone around!
Such a fierce move!
How could Goku possibly block it!? But in the blink of an eye.
Goku suddenly vanished, reappearing right behind Beerus, catching him off guard with a counterattack!
This situation…
He actually wanted to turn the tables and gain the upper hand!
This was not just a counterattack!
From Goku's eyes, one could see a powerful desire to win!
He still wanted to win!
Faced with the powerful Beerus!
Even though he couldn't even maintain his Super Saiyan form at this moment, he still refused to give up, thinking only of winning this clash! 』
