High above in the sky.
Empowered by God Ki, Talot's energy level rose to an entirely new tier, and his strength underwent a complete transformation. Though he had not yet fully become a god, in terms of power level, he had already stepped into the divine realm.
As his energy eruption reached its peak, Talot clasped his hands together. The power of the Great Ape within him merged with the God Ki, gathering in the palms of his hands. A crimson-gold energy sphere pulsed and flickered between his palms.
"Spiral—Destruction Beam!!!" With a loud roar, Talot thrust his hands forward, unleashing a crimson-gold spiral beam of immeasurable power that tore through the air, surging straight toward Champa.
The raging energy crossed several hundred meters in an instant, reaching Champa in a flash.
Seeing this, Champa's sly grin grew even wider.
"You never learn, do you? I already told you, energy attacks are useless against me. You're just wasting your energy. Hakai!" Champa raised his right arm, unleashing the Power of Destruction.
Under the power of Hakai, Talot's Spiral Destruction Beam disintegrated into countless particles and vanished into the void.
But this time, before Champa could continue gloating, Talot used Instant Transmission and appeared right in front of him.
His right fist tensed, fingers clenching tight, and blazing flames erupted around his arm.
The Spiral Destruction Beam was merely a feint. The real ultimate technique was this move.
Champa instinctively crossed his arms before him to guard.
"Super Hellfire!!!" Talot roared, hurling his devastating, ultimate attack.
BOOOOM!!!!!! The entire space trembled from the sheer power of the attack.
With the enhancement of God Ki, the destructive power of the Super Hellfire had reached a new level. The powerful shockwaves caused Champa's expression to change. He could feel the growing pressure.
Still not enough to break through Champa's defense?!
Talot continued to unleash his power, the power of the Great Ape and God Ki continued to intensify, and with the full release of his strength, he drove Champa's body straight toward the sky, bursting out of Earth's atmosphere and into outer space in just a few seconds.
The burning pain in his arms intensified, while fury began to twist Champa's face.
"Enough!!!" Champa roared, his arms surging with power as he shattered Super Hellfire and forced the nearby Talot back.
Undeterred, Talot, blood pumping with fervor, charged at Champa with unyielding fighting spirit, unleashing a swift, unstoppable strike.
BANG!!!!! Sparks exploded, and the very fabric of space rippled violently.
Talot's powerful punch landed squarely on Champa's chest, shaking his body and sending him flying back over a hundred meters.
The force of that punch was enough to pulverize a small asteroid.
But for Champa, it was still nothing to worry about.
"Heh~! Not bad at all. But, too bad, it's all for nothing." Champa sneered, using words to unsettle Talot's spirit.
Even if his power was suppressed, the strength of Champa's body was undeniable.
That punch, impressive as it might be at this level, was insignificant in Champa's eyes.
Seeing this, Talot didn't attack again. His sharp gaze locked onto Champa, waiting for the perfect moment.
The true reason he challenged Champa wasn't to defeat him. It was to use the pressure of a God of Destruction to help him breakthrough to a higher level. He had already grasped the God Ki, now, only the final step remained.
"Not attacking anymore? Then let me do it!" As he spoke, Champa raised his hand toward Talot, and the Power of Destruction rapidly gathered within him.
In an instant, dozens—no, hundreds of Destruction Bullets rained down upon Talot like a rainstorm.
With no room to dodge, Talot could only once again squeeze every ounce of the Great Ape's power within him, merging it with that sliver of God Ki, and rapidly unleashed multiple Spiraling Energy Balls in retaliation against Champa.
If it had been the previous version of the Spiraling Energy Ball, it would have been annihilated the instant it touched the Destruction Bullets.
But now, with the boost from God Ki, the Spiraling Energy Ball had undergone a qualitative transformation. Through its high-speed rotation, it generated a powerful counterforce that neutralized all of the Destruction Bullets.
"Buzzzzz~~!!!"
When the Destruction Bullets collided with the Spiraling Energy Balls, both energies vanished into nothingness at the same time.
Witnessing his own Destruction Bullets being neutralized, a look of surprise appeared on Champa's face. He hadn't expected Talot to actually find a way to counter his Power of Destruction.
"You actually found a way to cancel that out?" Champa said incredulously.
Even though they were in the vacuum of space, as a god, he could transmit his voice directly into Talot's ears through divine power.
"Don't overestimate yourself, God of Destruction. Gods aren't the only ones who can be strong in this world. As long as one possesses enough power, even mortals can stand against gods. Through our previous battles, I've fully adapted to your attacks. Now… it's my turn to strike back!!!"
As Talot finished speaking, the fluctuations of his God Ki grew even more intense.
The remaining Power of Destruction within his body was rapidly converted into an even greater strength.
A deep crimson light radiated outward from within him, as his once golden, endless aura was gradually replaced by a divine scarlet glow.
"God Ki?! How did it increase so much all at once?!" Champa could sense Talot's transformation, and his expression turned increasingly serious.
He realized now. This kid wasn't acting out of arrogance. He had planned this from the start.
"Using me as your sparring partner… how annoying. But I'm starting to look forward to it now: your form after you've ascended to godhood. Heh heh~!" Champa didn't interrupt; instead, he stood quietly in place, waiting.
What a joke!
If he were to strike now, wouldn't that make it seem like he was afraid of him?
So there was no way he would attack at this moment. He would wait until the transformation was complete, and then crush him afterward with an even greater power.
Only by doing so could he reaffirm his supreme status as a God of Destruction.
Even among gods, there were levels of divinity.
So how could a mere "wild god" possibly shake him, the supreme God of Destruction of the universe?
At best, this was his limit.
…..
In the vast darkness of outer space—
An incomparably radiant and sacred deep crimson light spread outward with boundless divine might, rapidly expanding across the entire North Area.
The overwhelming divine might expanded at incredible speed. The immense wave of divine power even altered the orbital trajectories of all the planets within the solar system.
