After noticing that Talot had no intention of transforming, Raditz's brows furrowed slightly, extremely dissatisfied with the situation.
In truth, he was very upset, but there was nothing he could do.
However, no matter how clearly he understood the gap in strength, he still had a temper.
"You think that by not transforming into a Super Saiyan, you can defeat my Super Saiyan Full Power?! Talot!" Anger brewed in Raditz's chest, his powerful aura continuously pressing down on Talot.
Yet this kind of suppression was effortlessly neutralized by Talot.
"Whether I can defeat your Super Saiyan Full Power, we'll only know after we fight! And although I haven't transformed, I have indeed brought out a level of power comparable to a transformation." Talot said with a light chuckle.
At this moment, God Ki surged around his body, and his power level was pushed to the limit, rising to a level on par with Raditz.
Despite there being no aura fluctuations at all, Raditz still felt a sense of threat coming from Talot.
"Power comparable to a transformation? This strange feeling…"
Something was wrong!
The displeasure in Raditz's heart instantly vanished, and he watched Talot with extreme vigilance.
At this moment, an invisible power was spreading around Talot.
This power felt extremely dangerous to him, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
...
In the audience seats.
After sensing this powerful God Ki, East Supreme Kai's face was filled with shock.
As for God Ki, he had only learned about it from the Old Supreme Kai in the past two years, and had trained it under the Old Supreme Kai's guidance.
But the intensity of God Ki that Talot was displaying now made him feel ashamed.
His own bit of God Ki didn't even reach one-tenth of the other party's.
"To have trained God Ki to this extent in such a short time? The progress is even faster than I imagined. Truly a genius among geniuses. I've never encountered someone with such talent. It's just a pity that he's unwilling to become a Supreme Kai." Old Supreme Kai watched Talot's performance, filled with emotion.
In his view, Talot could be considered half his disciple. The reason Talot could train divine power to this level was related to the fact that he had taught him the complete God Ki training method back then.
Clearly, the other party had not disappointed his expectations.
At this pace, it was only a matter of time before Talot became a god.
It was just that this god would probably not have a divine position.
Old Supreme Kai did not know at this moment that Talot had already become a god. He just had not transformed yet.
On the other side of the audience seats were Champa and Vados.
When they sensed the pure God Ki emanating from Talot, their expressions became quite wonderful.
"God Ki, huh? It seems his progress during this period hasn't been small. He can use God Ki without transforming. But this kid refusing to become a god was a foolish decision. Even if he can use divine power, he still can't reach the realm of a god." Although Champa had long expected that Talot would fully master God Ki, he deeply disliked the fact that Talot refused to become a god yet still used the power of gods.
He wouldn't know that the path Talot was walking was to use God Ki as a support to strengthen himself. Mortal power as the main focus, God Ki as the supplement.
This ran completely counter to their path of God of Destruction.
In the eyes of gods, those who do not become gods are ultimately ants!
In Talot's eyes, gods are merely a framework. Becoming strong enough to surpass gods is the goal he should have.
"That's not necessarily the case, Lord Champa." Vados said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Champa showed a surprised expression, then thought of something. His expression abruptly changed as he shifted his gaze toward Vados in disbelief.
Noticing Champa's unexpected look, Vados gave an affirmative reply: "Perhaps Talot has taken a step that even gods cannot take."
"You mean… this kid… how is that possible?" Champa said in disbelief, then grabbed a handful of potato chips with an annoyed expression and stuffed them into his mouth.
All around him, some ordinary people had long since grown accustomed to this fat cat saying outrageous things.
They only thought it was a bout of hallucinations.
Meanwhile, the sister and brother sitting beside Champa kept listening with serious expressions, making their mother watch them with a mix of laughter and helplessness.
...
In the arena.
Talot and Raditz once again faced off, the aura of both sides continuously expanding.
Even after transforming into Super Saiyan Full Power, Raditz did not dare to act rashly.
His instinctive intuition told him that the current Talot was extremely, extremely dangerous!
But this further stimulated his competitive spirit.
With a solemn expression, he assumed a battle stance. A muffled shout burst from his mouth as a golden aura flared up from his feet, rising and enveloping his entire body, burning fiercely like flames.
All the power of Super Saiyan 1 Full Power was unleashed. Raditz's aura was skyrocketing along with his emotions.
"Quite an astonishing Ki, but it's still not enough…" Talot narrowed his eyes slightly as a deeper layer of God Ki erupted from within him.
His expression underwent a subtle change.
In a single thought, the God Ki within his body was fully activated. Though it was different from Raditz's terrifying display, the powerful oppressive force it brought about invisibly made everyone on Papaya Island, except the God of Destruction and the Angels, feel uncomfortable all over.
The friction between their auras caused visible distortions in space. With Raditz and Talot at the center, it was as if they were in another world.
The ordinary people in the audience kept rubbing their eyes, repeatedly confirming whether they were seeing things wrong.
In a flash, a fierce battle erupted. Raditz dashed in front of Talot at lightning speed, delivering a full-powered strike.
"Bang!!" A deafening explosion shook heaven and earth.
Talot promptly assumed a defensive stance, perfectly blocking Raditz's attack.
"So even this can't do anything to you? Then how about this!!" Raditz's right hand turned into a sharp golden hand blade, thrusting fiercely toward Talot's brow.
Such a close-range attack was indeed hard to defend against.
Talot did not confront it head-on. He leaned his body backward, dodging Raditz's hand blade, while simultaneously charging power into his right leg and kicking toward Raditz's chest.
Raditz had long been prepared. At the moment Talot launched his attack, he used that force to cleverly teleport around to Talot's back, immediately following up with a violent, storm-like barrage of attacks aimed at Talot.
Facing the assault from behind, Talot calmly pulled some distance away from Raditz. After adjusting his direction, he charged straight at Raditz head-on, engaging him in a frontal clash.
This super battle spanning eras was officially ignited!
