At the center of the storm.
Champa's Sphere of Destruction was frozen in place, unable to move, as if Talot's overwhelming power of Great Ape had pinned it there.
This sight caused Champa to show a look of surprise, while Vados's eyes lit up.
This Saiyan could actually block the Power of Destruction. Across the entire universe, there were very few who could accomplish such a feat.
"Raaahhhhhh!!!!" A crazed roar burst out from Talot's mouth.
The power of the Great Ape rapidly surged, its might skyrocketing, and faintly, it even showed signs of pushing back the Power of Destruction.
"Not bad… but that's all it is." Champa clasped his hands behind his back, wearing a mischievous grin, as if completely unconcerned.
Suddenly, a flash of purple light flickered within the Sphere of Destruction. Its diameter, originally only ten meters, abruptly expanded to twenty, and the terrifying divine pressure multiplied accordingly.
Talot's Great Ape's power was violently rebounded back at him, the immense pressure causing his expression to change drastically.
"What?!" The pressure kept increasing. Talot's heartbeat quickened as he poured out every ounce of strength, his face twisted in strain, muscles across his entire body tensing.
The pressure continued to intensify, yet no matter how hard Talot tried, he could not stop the advance of the Sphere of Destruction. At best, he could only slow it down.
In just a few seconds, it was less than a few meters away from him.
"A mortal will always be a mortal. No matter how powerful, one can never truly oppose the power of a god… what a pity…" Champa sighed, clasping his hands behind his back again and turning around arrogantly.
In his eyes, Talot's fate was already sealed.
At the same time, the Sphere of Destruction engulfed Talot completely.
"Ahhhhhh… so this is what the power of a God of Destruction feels like… my body and soul… being eroded bit by bit…" Within the Sphere of Destruction, Talot screamed in agony as he felt the power of the God of Destruction, yet he couldn't help but marvel at the might of a God of Destruction.
If not for the unbelievably strong physique of Super Saiyan 4, he would have vanished into nothingness the instant he touched the Sphere of Destruction.
It was precisely because of the existence of Super Saiyan 4, the power of the Great Ape, that he possessed even a shred of ability to resist the Power of Destruction.
Deep within his body, the Great Ape's power was resisting the destruction of the Power of Destruction.
Talot's current situation was extremely peculiar. He had one foot in death's door, yet could not truly die.
The deeper potential within his body was being forced out by the Power of Destruction, but even so, he still couldn't fully break free from the Sphere of Destruction's constraints. He could only barely hold on.
[If this keeps up, I'm done for. I must break this deadlock, or I'll have no way to survive…] Talot fully understood how dire his situation was. His mind raced, searching for a way to turn things around.
Under the crushing pressure of desperation, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind—a dangerous method to break free.
The physique of Super Saiyan 4 was far stronger than he had imagined. Known as an all-around warrior, its internal energy capacity was far beyond imagination. If he risked everything to absorb it, he might even be able to consume an energy source several times stronger than his own limits.
Since the Power of Destruction could not completely destroy his body, it meant that his body had already established the foundation to withstand the Power of Destruction.
Rather than resist, it would be better to do the opposite. To absorb the power of destruction itself!
If he succeeded, he would reverse the situation, shatterGod of Destruction Champa's Sphere of Destruction, and perhaps even gain an unexpected advantage.
However, if his body could not endure the baptism of the Power of Destruction, he would explode and die, and both his body and soul would collapse. If he failed, he would be doomed forever!
After a brief moment of hesitation, Talot made his decision.
Rather than sit and wait for death, he would take the risk and fight with everything he had.
[It's just the power of God of Destruction, isn't it?! Fine, this time, I'll risk it all!!!] Talot gritted his teeth and unleashed his energy absorption technique.
In an instant, a deep purple vortex appeared in the center of Talot's chest. The massive energy contained within the Sphere of Destruction began surging rapidly into his body.
At the same time, the overwhelmingly powerful Sphere of Destruction began shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Sensing something unusual behind him, Champa quickly turned around. When he saw his Sphere of Destruction growing smaller and smaller before his very eyes, his face froze in disbelief, his eyes widening.
"You brat… you dare to absorb my Energy of Destruction?!"
Champa rubbed his eyes repeatedly, afraid he was seeing things.
Why was his Sphere of Destruction getting smaller and smaller?!
"What kind of trick is this brat pulling? Could it be that he's actually neutralizing my Power of Destruction?!" After checking several times, Champa finally understood what was happening.
At the same time, his opinion of Talot changed. He no longer looked down on him as he did at the start.
To neutralize his Power of Destruction. This was not something just anyone could do.
"What a bold decision… Knowing he couldn't break free from the Power of Destruction, he instead chose to absorb it? If he can endure it…" Vados's eyes glimmered with a deep, meaningful light.
The universe was vast, filled with countless life forms, yet those capable of qualifying as a God of Destruction were extremely few.
If Talot truly succeeded in consuming the Power of Destruction, that would mean he possessed the potential to become a God of Destruction candidate!
For the first time in millions of years, Vados's calm heart rippled with anticipation.
What had started as a test on a mere whim now seemed to have led her to discover a treasure.
Bzzzzzzzz~~!!!!
With the Sphere of Destruction as a center, layers of deep purple halos flickered under the gaze of countless eyes.
The Sphere of Destruction became extremely unstable, shooting out bursts of lightning in space, and finally... turned into nothingness...
And Talot, who had just been swallowed, reappeared.
His powerful Super Saiyan 4 body was covered in shocking wounds, making him look like a beast that had survived countless battles.
Talot's reappearance left God of Destruction Champa wide-eyed in astonishment, while Angel Vados wore an expression of surprise.
Whis, observing from the shadows, was equally in disbelief.
On North Kai's Planet, North Kai was drenched in sweat, utterly dumbfounded.
Behind him, Gine, Salari, Bulma, Son Gohan, Launch, and Dr. Brief and his wife finally let out a sigh of relief, the heavy weight in their hearts lifted.
In the Sacred World of the Kai, the Old Supreme Kai, the East Supreme Kai, and Kibito all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
They had just witnessed something that should have been impossible become reality.
A mortal's power… had neutralized the power of a God of Destruction!
