Even Jiang Chen's expression involuntarily showed a trace of astonishment.
Although he knew very well just how overwhelmingly strong Super Saiyan 5 Gogeta was, he had never imagined that this strength could reach such a level.
Jiang Chen was fully aware of how fearsome Beerus truly was. In the original manga, Beerus nearly overshadowed all the other Gods of Destruction. At most, only one or two could barely contend with him, and that was with Beerus facing them all at once. (In the manga, the Tournament of Power was originally designed as a chaotic battle, but at the very start, every God of Destruction simultaneously chose to gang up on Beerus. Clearly, in their eyes, Beerus was a terrifying existence. From this 1 vs 11 situation, it was evident that no one wanted to duel him one-on-one. They would rather join forces to defeat him first. Even if the clown god was clearly holding back, aside from him, Beerus was undoubtedly the strongest. Even the rat couldn't compare. If Beerus wasn't number one, then he was definitely number two.)
And yet, at this moment, even Beerus was somewhat overwhelmed.
Truthfully, even though Jiang Chen had half-expected it, seeing it for real still left him utterly shaken.
Boom.
Rumble---!
Terrifying energy poured down endlessly as a mighty aura expanding outward without limit.
"Lord Beerus, I can't hold on any longer! One last move!"
Gogeta spoke, his overwhelming aura erupting in full. A pale white mixed with golden energy stormed through the heavens and earth. His hands pressed together into a clasped stance.
"Good! You truly make me feel exhilarated! No matter what, I acknowledge you!"
Though Beerus looked a bit bedraggled, his eyes burned with excitement as boundless destructive energy surged forth.
"Hundredfold Kamehameha Wave!"
Gogeta roared, and in the very next instant, an endless torrent of energy exploded toward Beerus.
"Destruction---!"
Beerus also roared, unleashing every ounce of Hakai energy from his body at once.
In that instant, the two ultimate powers clashed.
That collision tore apart everything, and destroyed everything.
The entire sky of the God of Destruction's Planet turned into pure white at that moment.
The wild and unrestrained surge of power spread in all directions, giving everything a sense of annihilation.
That force continued to cascade downward, as though it intended to utterly end and destroy the entire God of Destruction's Planet.
Buzz!
Angel Whis lightly tapped his staff, and in the next instant a ripple spread outward from it, instantly expanding to cover the whole planet.
The boundless destruction that had been raging suddenly reversed in that instant. At the same time, that incomparably powerful shockwave began to vanish without a trace.
High above in the sky, two figures revealed themselves as they collided.
At this moment, God of Destruction Beerus was in tatters, his aura plummeting to its lowest point. Even just maintaining himself in mid-air now seemed extremely difficult.
On the other side, Gogeta's figure had already vanished.
In mid-air, only the reverted Son Goku and Vegeta were left, their bodies falling toward the ground.
Whoosh!
Two silhouettes flickered, instantly catching the falling GT Son Goku and GT Vegeta.
The rest of the onlookers could only stare in shock at this scene. No one had expected that the battle between the two would reach such a level.
Even though for much of the fight, most people couldn't even keep up with their movements, they could still clearly feel Gogeta's truly terrifying aura.
Especially the Son Goku and Vegeta of this very timeline and space.
In their eyes shone a light unlike anything before.
To think that their counterparts from another world could grow so powerful, powerful enough to make even them tremble.
Did that not mean that they, too, could one day reach such strength?
This thought burned especially in Vegeta's heart.
From unwillingness, anger, and humiliation, now all that remained was excitement and exhilaration.
A feeling he had never once experienced before. He had even begun to doubt himself in the past.
After all, whether Kakarot or Raditz, they had both surpassed him. Jiang Chen's power was an existence beyond imagination.
As the Saiyan Prince, he had been suppressed again and again.
Even with his immense pride, there were times when he questioned his very worth.
Perhaps his talent was simply fated to never measure up to Son Goku, Raditz, or even Jiang Chen.
But now, Vegeta from the GT timeline had displayed a strength that exceeded all of that.
Even Raditz, or that so-called Aspara, none of them could compare to this!
This was Vegeta, the true Prince of Saiyans, the Universe's mightiest warrior, the legendary Super Saiyan.
Excitement, exhilaration, yearning, countless emotions surged through every part of his being in that instant.
Of course, at this moment, no one had the mind to pay him any attention.
Son Goku quickly gave a Senzu Bean to the other world's version of himself and Vegeta.
With the bug-level ability of the Senzu Bean, their injuries were rapidly healed.
"Truly powerful!"
GT Son Goku flipped to his feet, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.
"Hmph!"
GT Vegeta only let out a cold snort. But that was all, he said nothing further.
On the other side, with the staff of Angel Whis shimmering with light, the injuries on God of Destruction Beerus also quickly healed. His condition was restored to normal.
"Hmph!"
Once his body was restored, Beerus let out a cold snort. His gaze fell upon GT Son Goku and Vegeta in the distance.
Even he had not expected that mortals could reach such a level in battle.
In fact, during that final clash just now, If it hadn't been that the Fusion technique could not withstand such immense power and collapsed, the one defeated might not have been them, but him instead.
At that thought, his eyes subconsciously shifted toward the Kaiōshin Earrings.
If the fusion technique could not endure the terrifying power of a fused warrior… then what about the fusion using the Kaiōshin's Potara Earrings?
The more he thought, the darker Beerus's expression became.
Of course, at this moment, no one knew what was on his mind.
Angel Whis still wore his usual faint smile.
But very soon, even his smile stiffened.
"Whis… what did you eat?" Beerus sniffed the air, and his angry voice erupted.
"Ohoho, Lord Beerus, you discovered it? My apologies!" Whis answered with a smiling, squinty-eyed voice.
"You bastard!!" Beerus roared in fury.
But just then, Whis's eyes narrowed sharply, his gaze suddenly turning toward the Universe.
At the same time, Beerus also looked in the same direction.
"This aura…?"
"It's that guy!"
Beerus frowned, his face carrying a hint of doubt.
Because right now, he sensed a kindred aura, one that he was extremely familiar with. If he was not mistaken, it belonged to his brother… another God of Destruction from a different Universe.
But this was Universe 7. Why would that guy appear here, in Universe 7?
"Lord Beerus, it seems we might be in a bit of trouble," Whis said with his usual amused tone.
