On the ground, as spectators, Beerus, Vados, and Whis each showed different expressions upon seeing Talot grasp Ultra Ego.
"It seems he can already truly begin to use the power of destruction. Not bad, barely passable, brat," Beerus said, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising, speaking insincerely.
Talot's progress had not escaped his notice. As his candidate, being able to reach this level was already no easy feat, and it was also the result he most wanted to see.
To put it bluntly, he was actually a bit envious and jealous, because this breakthrough had come too quickly.
Thinking back to Talot a year ago, what level was he at?
And now, what level is he at?
"To break through repeatedly while fighting Lord Champa… it's unbelievable that such a special individual could exist in this world. Dear little brother, it seems you've picked up quite a treasure this time," Vados said, also shocked by Talot's performance. As an Angel who had experienced multiple cycles, from the birth of the universe to its destruction, across countless ages, this was the first time she had ever seen such an outstanding human.
The combat ability and talent Talot displayed were the finest she had ever seen, even surpassing Champa she had personally trained.
At the same time, Talot's performance also gave rise to a particular thought in her mind.
Since this person from five million years in the future had appeared in Universe 7, then in the twin universe, Universe 6, would someone like Talot also appear five million years later?
If so, she would have to prepare in advance.
Such an outstanding individual, she would not let him slip away. It would be perfect to carefully raise him and see whether he would be suitable as a candidate for Universe 6's God of Destruction.
[It seems that when he neutralized Lord Champa's Hakai earlier, he had already found the opportunity to grasp Hakai. And now, being eroded by Champa's Hakai, he has comprehended true Hakai. With this form and this power… it would be a pity if he didn't become a God of Destruction.]Whis revealed a smile, his inner emotions stirred by Talot's transformation.
After all, Talot was his disciple. Although he did not belong to this timeline, witnessing Talot's growth with his own eyes still filled Whis with pride.
At the very least, aside from Beerus, he had raised a second outstanding disciple.
He wouldn't dare say this disciple was number one among the twelve universes, but across all twelve universes, aside from the Gods of Destruction, he was already among the top.
...
In the sky.
The Power of Destruction surrounding Talot gradually stabilized.
The deep purple glow burned around him like raging flames, adding a sinister aura to his form.
At this moment, Talot, feeling the explosively increasing Power of Destruction within his body, revealed a sinister smile on his face.
"So this is what it feels like to grasp Hakai… truly indescribable. I thought it would take me more time to control this power, but I didn't expect to complete it by chance at a moment like this. I have to thank you for all of this, Champa. If not for you, I wouldn't have so easily comprehended the true power of destruction!!" At this moment, Talot's emotions became incomparably excited, his fighting intent and instincts fully awakened.
His body was craving battle. Every single cell in his body, including the Power of Destruction within him, longed for the stimulation that battle would bring, to achieve further sublimation.
This Power of Destruction was expanding along with the agitation of his emotions.
At this moment, Talot finally understood why, in the later part of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Beerus had said that the power of a God of Destruction is boundless. The extent of its strength depends on the user's inner desire to destroy.
Power of Destruction and Ultra Instinct are two completely different extremes.
This power, he could wield it as he pleased, unleash it without restraint. The stronger his intent to destroy, the stronger his power became. It even gave rise within Talot to a feeling that he was capable of anything.
In contrast, Champa, after witnessing Talot's ascension with his own eyes, had a constantly shifting expression. Rage surged within him, his emotions growing increasingly agitated.
The formless Hakai he had unleashed had been meant to erase Talot.
Yet he had never expected the outcome to turn out like this, no different from lifting a rock only to smash his own foot.
"Brat, I'm really surprised that you were able to comprehend the power of destruction, but don't think that just because you've grasped Hakai you can act arrogant. The strength of Hakai also depends on the user. In my eyes, you're nothing more than a greenhorn who just stepped out into the world. If you want to reach my level, you're still far from it!!" Champa said arrogantly.
In his eyes, Talot, who had also grasped the Power of Destruction, was still just an inexperienced brat.
After being a God of Destruction for so many years, if he were to fear Talot who had only just grasped the Power of Destruction, then all those years of being a God of Destruction would have been for nothing.
Hearing this, Talot did not grow angry. Instead, he remained extremely calm, silently beginning to activate the Power of Destruction around his body.
"Then please, Lord God of Destruction Champa, don't hold back with your guidance! Let me experience the power of Hakai once more!" As his words fell, Talot flung his right hand.
In an instant, a deep purple Sphere of Destruction blasted out from his palm, charging straight toward Champa.
Seeing this, Champa likewise raised his hand and fired a Sphere of Destruction to collide with it.
"Boom~~~!!!" The moment the two Spheres of Destruction collided, the explosive rumble shook all directions, and the unstoppable shockwaves surged outward, stirring ripples through space itself.
But this was only the beginning. At the very moment the explosion erupted, Talot shot out with lightning speed, transforming into a streak of purple aurora that pierced through the thick wall of flames and arrived before Champa.
Talot clenched his right fist, the Power of Destruction brewing within it, and swung with all his might.
Champa responded in kind, throwing a punch to meet it.
"Bang!!!" A thunderous crash resounded as the surrounding space surged with terrifying waves.
A fierce battle erupted out once again.
Talot launched a relentless and ferocious assault on Champa. With the augmentation of the Power of Destruction, his punches and kicks became increasingly savage.
Every move carried immense destructive force. There was not the slightest hesitation in his attacks—decisive, swift, and lethal!
In the state of Ultra Ego, Talot was nearly lost in himself, his eyes burning with the purest battle intent. At this moment, he acted entirely on the impulses in his mind: defeat Champa. No matter what means he had to use, he would defeat Champa!
Meanwhile, Champa was feeling tremendous pressure.
With Talot having mastered the Power of Destruction, his strength had surged to the point where he could rival him. In this high-intensity close combat, Champa was even falling into a disadvantage, faintly showing signs of being suppressed by Talot.
The occurrence of such a situation left Champa completely stunned.
Is this brat never going to get tired?
From the beginning of the battle until now, from red hair to purple hair, and even pushing his power level to the extreme in between. Champa was starting to suspect that Talot had taken some kind of drug.
"Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! ..." A series of explosive sounds like muffled thunder erupted in the high sky.
Looking up, two streaks of purple aurora weaved and collided, setting off wave after wave of earth-shaking surges.
