"Afterimage? How is that possible?!"
Champa finally realized what was happening, and a sudden sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
"This isn't an afterimage. It's my Clone Technique. Otherwise, how could I possibly deceive the senses of a God of Destruction? Don't you agree?" Talot's voice came from behind Champa.
The instant the words fell, Talot mercilessly unleashed the Hellfire, launching a fatal strike at Champa.
BOOM~~!!! Scorching flames of light erupted from Talot's fist.
The terrifying pillar of flames struck Champa squarely in the back, and in the blink of an eye, blasted him tens of thousands of meters away.
Empowered by powerful God Ki, the destructive power of the Hellfire was elevated to another level.
Champa stabilized himself midair, the fury in his eyes surging.
The burning pain on his back told him clearly that Talot now possessed enough strength to actually wound him.
"As expected of a God of Destruction… even with your power sealed, your physical strength is far beyond what I can match right now. My full-powered Hellfire couldn't even deal any serious injury on you. That means… I'll have to try this next!" With Hellfire proving ineffective, Talot raised both hands high, preparing to unleash his ultimate technique against Champa.
The divine power born from the fusion of Great Ape's power and God Ki expanded rapidly, and within his palms, a massive deep crimson energy sphere began to form, radiating a boundless divine pressure that swept across all directions.
Crackle~!!!
Scarlet-gold lightning exploded and flashed in the void, its sheer destructive force causing Champa to raise an eyebrow.
From this single attack, he could feel danger. Even though it was minuscule, it was still a threat.
Annihilation Bomb!
A super ultimate technique evolved from the King's Bomb; an attack powerful enough to easily obliterate even Golden Frieza.
Of course, Golden Frieza was nowhere near Champa's level.
Yet even the energy radiating during its formation was enough to make Champa feel threatened.
If it were to fully detonate, the destructive force would be unimaginable.
Perhaps even Talot himself hadn't realized it yet. The intensity of this power had already transcended dimensions, reaching the level of trillions.
"Brat, you brought this upon yourself! Even if I destroy you, don't you dare regret it!!" At this point, Champa could no longer afford to hold back.
He was furious due to getting injured.
Even though his body far surpassed that of any being on his level, taking an explosion like that would still hurt.
Abandoning his last shred of mercy, Champa summoned his Power of Destruction, preparing to clash head-on with Talot.
"Annihilation Bomb!!" The ultimate technique condensed to its limit, and Talot hurled it forward with both hands. The Annihilation Bomb, its power reaching its zenith, tore through the void, heading straight for Champa.
At that very moment, Champa felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and a sudden sense of dread filled him.
If he didn't handle this attack properly, he might actually suffer serious injury.
A wave of crisis surged within him. Veins bulged on his forehead as the Power of Destruction in his body erupted in full force. He raised his hands, aiming at the incoming Annihilation Bomb.
"I told you, all energy-based attacks are useless against me. Hakai!!!" In that instant, Champa unleashed his true divine technique • Hakai!
A move capable of erasing everything in the universe from its very origin—be it material or spiritual.
Buzz~~!!!
A deep, radiant light blossomed in the vastness of space.
The Annihilation Bomb that Talot had unleashed with all his strength was forcibly blocked by Champa's Hakai.
No…rather than being blocked, it was frozen in place by Champa's Hakai.
No matter how much force Talot exerted, he couldn't push it forward even an inch.
"So this is the true power of Hakai? It's far more terrifying than I imagined!!" Talot's expression changed again and again; he realized he had been too naïve.
Although Vados had sealed most of Champa's power using Angel power, she hadn't completely suppressed his Power of Destruction.
The true terror of a God of Destruction lies precisely in Hakai!
To bring Talot into Universe 6, Vados had gone to great lengths. And as Champa's attendant, how could she not leave a safeguard to prevent her own God of Destruction from being defeated?
From the very start, this battle had been an unfair one.
After all, the Power of Destruction, a supreme form of God Ki, was virtually unmatched at this level, making its wielder peerless among equals.
In that moment, Talot suddenly realized his grave mistake: he had been thinking far too simply.
"So you've been scheming against me from the beginning… Then I'll show you, mortals like us have potential far beyond anything you gods can imagine!! If you think you can toy with me, think again!!"
With a shout, the power of the Great Ape and God Ki within Talot intertwined and catalyzed each other, causing his strength to continuously evolve and surge toward a higher realm.
The energy within him erupted without end. The Annihilation Bomb seemed to be advancing, but in truth, the Power of Destruction had already invaded its core. If he continued pressing on, that destructive force might counter-devour and tear his body apart.
"Tch~! As I thought, the current me still isn't strong enough to truly shatter Hakai." Helpless, Talot detonated the Annihilation Bomb of his own accord, dispersing Champa's expanding Power of Destruction on the spot.
But this time, Champa's cold, piercing eyes locked onto him, a clear warning that he intended to end the fight.
At that exact moment, Talot used Instant Transmission to appear behind Champa, unleashing a full-powered whip kick with everything he had.
BANG!!! A dull thud echoed.
Though the attack was fast enough to catch most opponents off guard, Champa had been prepared. He raised his hand and effortlessly blocked Talot's full-force kick.
"This farce ends now. I no longer have the time to play with you." As soon as he spoke, Champa's right hand transformed into a claw, gripping Talot's ankle tightly before hurling him away with immense force.
BOOM~~!!! Thunderous rumbling resounded through the space.
Swept up by the immense power, Talot was sent careening uncontrollably, crashing through several colossal asteroids and shattering them to pieces.
Before Talot could put up a guard, Champa moved again. It seems he wanted to completely crush Talot and bring this absurd battle to an end.
"Don't get so full of yourself, Champa!" Talot gritted his teeth, his power erupting as he broke free from the debris, transforming into a streak of deep crimson divine light that tore through the void toward him.
To Talot, even knowing how powerful a God of Destruction's strength was, admitting defeat before the end was never an option.
Saiyans… never give up.
Bam! Bang!! The intense, close-quarters combat reignited once more.
Talot unleashed every ounce of his strength. His attacks flowed like a storm—swift, fierce, and precise, with not a single wasted motion. The display left Champa deeply shaken.
He had underestimated Talot's potential. Instead of being crushed under pressure, Talot's potential had been ignited even further, pushing his growth to new heights.
As the battle intensified, Champa began to show signs of losing, clearly outmatched!
[Damn it! You little brat, don't push your luck!!] Under Talot's relentless and ferocious offensive, Champa momentarily lost his composure.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged through his entire being as he unleashed every ounce of his remaining power.
Even with his strength sealed, a God of Destruction was still a supreme existence. Losing here would mean the title of "invincible" would no longer belong to the God of Destruction.
Moreover, if word of this got out, his reputation would plummet, and he'd suffer humiliation even across other universes.
