In space.
Champa's face twisted ferociously. The strength of his Power of Destruction was far beyond imagination, wholly out of Talot's league.
Just the oppressive force invisibly radiating from him caused Talot to almost suffocate.
This was the true power of a God of Destruction.
If Champa was already this strong, how powerful was Beerus?!
Driven by rage, Champa broke through the seal set by Vados. His strength now far surpassed what it was before being sealed.
Raising his right arm, he aimed his palm at Talot. His fingers tensed, and an unfathomably deep Power of Destruction gathered in Champa's palm.
A blinding purple light condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the divine pressure it emitted was chillingly terrifying.
Sensing this unimaginable Power of Destruction, Talot's expression turned dark.
This was already the kind of power Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan Blue could unleash during Dragon Ball Super.
Moreover, the intensity of this God Ki was far beyond what ordinary experts could withstand.
Because this was Power of Destruction! The supreme God Ki!
"You brat, you are the first person to have fought me to this extent. I'll offer you one last chance: surrender, or die!!" Champa gave Talot a final warning, as if to salvage his lost dignity.
Talot couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Surrender? Ridiculous, I've already won." Talot smiled calmly, utterly fearless.
His gaze kept shifting, secretly gathering strength, ready to withstand the assault of Power of Destruction.
Honestly, he had no confidence in blocking Champa's Power of Destruction.
Yet even so, he wouldn't give in. He would resist to the end!
These words made Champa's already dark face look even more menacing.
"You brought this on yourself!" Unable to endure it any longer, Champa pushed the Power of Destruction at Talot, intending to obliterate him.
If he couldn't have it, he'd destroy it; it was the typical style of a God of Destruction.
With Champa's will, the ferocious Power of Destruction rushed straight toward Talot.
Talot could feel the suffocating pressure approaching relentlessly.
With no retreat, he could only go all out!
Talot fully unleashed the power of the Great Ape and his God Ki, pouring everything into resisting the corrosive Power of Destruction.
Yet, in the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.
No matter what methods Talot tried, he couldn't stop Champa's advancing Power of Destruction.
Just as the Power of Destruction was about to reach Talot, Vados and Whis arrived simultaneously and helped Talot neutralize the Power of Destruction.
With the disappearance of the Power of Destruction, the sense of danger vanished, and Talot's heart also relaxed.
"Vados..." Seeing Vados arrive, Champa's face grew even gloomier.
Though he didn't want to admit it, he had lost. The moment he broke the rules, he was defeated by Talot at the same level.
"It ends here, Lord Champa. You indeed lost this fight," said Vados.
Hearing this, Champa's ashen face turned extremely ugly. He remained silent, offering no rebuttal.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever seen a mortal defeating a God of Destruction. Your potential is truly astonishing, growing this much in such a short time. If Lord Beerus were to awaken, he'd likely take a liking to you," Whis praised, shifting his gaze to Talot.
"Maybe..." Talot replied weakly.
The fight had reached such a stage that he'd long since hit his limit. If not for the continuously generating Great Ape's power within him, he would've collapsed long ago.
Now that the battle was over, an intense emptiness swept through him. Talot exited the Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker form, reverting to his previous black-haired Super Saiyan 4.
This black-haired Super Saiyan 4 form was quite special. Its energy consumption was actually much lower than that of regular Super Saiyan. So, Talot had no need to worry about being forced to revert due to insufficient energy.
Unless he had one foot in the grave, this transformation wouldn't be undone by outside factors that easily.
Whis gently smiled at the sight, waved the scepter, and healed some of Talot's external injuries.
He didn't fully heal Talot, just enough to restore part of his mobility.
These wounds weren't bad. To Talot, they were useful. After this fight, Talot could glean deeper insight into his own strength as well as God Ki from these injuries.
Then, his power would reach a new level.
"Though you've defeated Lord Champa, you can still choose to come with us to Universe 6. If you decide to go, I can guide your training, then, you might truly be able to rival a God of Destruction. So, would you like to reconsider?" Vados asked, still harboring a desire to recruit him.
Seeing how talented Talot was only made Vados more determined to bring him along.
Talot's lips twitched at Vados' persistence.
"Forget it, I don't even know much about my own universe yet. Going to another universe is still a long way off... And even if I do go, I want to rely on my own power," Talot replied to Vados.
Vados looked knowingly at Talot upon hearing his answer.
It's just that people find things precious when they can't obtain them.
"Hmph! Since he's not willing, why keep forcing it, Vados? After fighting for so long and burning through so much energy, I'm starving! Hurry up and bring out the snacks." Though Champa had lost to Talot, he wouldn't admit it.
He knew he was being shameless, but if he wasn't, his dignity as a God of Destruction would be crushed.
Losing to Talot this time was a massive blow to his pride as a deity.
"Of course, Lord Champa." At Champa's order, Vados waved her scepter and conjured a dining table in the space, piled with many foods Talot had never seen before.
Talot was utterly stunned by this technique.
You can just do that?
"Whis and you... Hmm, what race are you, and what's your name?" Vados suddenly asked, catching Talot off guard.
Without hesitation, he answered, "Saiyan, Talot."
"All right, Talot. After a battle like that, you must be hungry, too. How about you try the delicacies of Universe 6?" With that, Vados conjured two more chairs.
Naturally, one was for Whis.
