Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

A strong sense of crisis washed over him, and Talott's body tensed instinctively, his arms crossed in defense.

His muscles bulged out, making him look incredibly ferocious.

A loud bang!

Even so, Talot was still swept away by a tremendous force and flew backward.

Feeling the excruciating pain in his arms, Talot's face was grave, his brows furrowed.

This is the power of Beerus, the God of Destruction; with just a casual strike, he made Beerus's arms look like they were about to shatter.

If he gets serious, he won't even be able to withstand a single blow, let alone a fight.

The pressure was immense, but it also made him even more excited.

"Drink up!!" Talot roared, his body exploding with dazzling blue-white lightning.

At this moment, the power of the giant ape erupted in full force, its momentum expanded once again, and its combat power also experienced a qualitative leap.

Sensing this explosive growth momentum, Beerus simply smiled, put his hands behind his back, and looked quite content.

Judging from their attitude, they don't take Talot seriously at all.

Talott wasn't angry about this; he knew Beerus had the right to despise him.

As the undisputed leader of the twelve Gods of Destruction, Beerus's strength is beyond doubt. In his eyes, I am probably no different from those insignificant ants.

"Take this! Super Bombardment Cannon!" Talot clasped his hands together and pushed them forward. A golden electric energy cannon shot out from his palms, roaring like a golden dragon baring its fangs and claws as it charged straight at Beerus.

The destructive power of this attack distorted the surrounding space.

On King Kai's planet, King Kai, as an observer, gaped, his heart pounded, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The destructive power of this move is terrifying. If it were to explode, not only would the entire North Kaido be blasted into pieces, but the entire underworld would also be thrown into turmoil.

It's unbelievable that his future disciple is so powerful.

Angel Weiss, standing to the side, continued to enjoy the snacks she had brought, looking quite content, as if she were watching a good show.

……

On the battlefield.

Faced with the oncoming, violent energy, Beerus smiled contemptuously and scoffed.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled sharply.

A deafening boom!

The violent air pressure swept over the entire energy beam, and in the blink of an eye, the entire energy beam disintegrated, turning into energy particles that dissipated into the surrounding space.

In a single breath, it destroyed Talot's energy technique.

Upon witnessing this scene, Talot's expression changed drastically.

Although he had anticipated this outcome, he hadn't expected Beerus to be so domineering.

He had never experienced this kind of tactic when he fought the God of Destruction, Champa.

It's likely that Champa went easy on him.

"What's wrong? Are you hesitant to attack, or... are you scared?" Beerus smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Stop getting carried away!!" As soon as he finished speaking, Talot unleashed his full power.

With the power of the Great Ape, he charged towards Beerus like a golden bolt of lightning, unleashing an unstoppable lightning punch.

With the power of the giant ape, his punch was incredibly destructive and terrifying.

Even if I were to endure this myself a month ago, I would probably be crushed by this blow.

At such close range and with such a sudden attack, Beerus should have only two outcomes: either he would be hit or he would have to raise his hand to deflect the attack.

To Talot's astonishment, Beerus seemed to have anticipated his attack, turning his body at an extremely tricky angle at the maximum distance, easily dodging his heavy punch.

Although Talot was surprised, he did not stop his offensive.

A ferocious and terrifying onslaught, like a sudden storm, relentlessly poured down upon Beerus.

After years of arduous training and countless battles, Talot's fighting style has been honed to near perfection, allowing him to attack and defend with ease, and making him virtually omnipotent.

Even so, the cruel outcome before him left him feeling suffocated.

Beerus dodged all his attacks at the extreme distance, completely unable to touch him.

This ghostly dodging movement reminded Talot of some kind of divine skill.

Free and Ultimate Skill!

Only the Ultimate Instinct technique is the most reasonable explanation.

According to the original work, although Beerus did not master Ultra Instinct to its fullest extent, even a half-baked version of Ultra Instinct was far beyond what Talot could currently contend with.

"Boy, with an attack of this level, you're not even qualified to touch this god. Is that all you've got?" As soon as he finished speaking, Beerus's eyes suddenly turned ruthless.

The intense sense of danger emanating from just one glance sent shivers down Talot's spine, causing him to instinctively retreat and maintain a relatively safe distance from Beerus.

【Damn it... Beerus...!!】 Talot was horrified. A bead of sweat slid down his cheek, his heart raced, and a strong sense of unease enveloped his entire body.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. This pointless probing ends here, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Beerus's eyes flashed with a strong warning.

This was his last chance for Talot; if he didn't show some real skill, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

"Fine, I hate this feeling of being completely suppressed too. So... let's take a look at the next Super Saiyan 2nd stage!" With a loud shout, Talot instantly released a deeper layer of Super Saiyan energy within his body.

The S cells in the body were fully activated, and even more intense blue-white electric light exploded around the body.

Powerful energy coursed through his body, transforming his once-spiky golden hair into a raging, golden frizzy hair. His strength exploded, instantly surpassing the threshold of hundreds of millions and trillions.

"Has your form changed slightly? Your strength has indeed improved to some extent, but it's still only at this level." Beerus smiled mockingly after sensing the change in Talot's aura.

How much power can this form unleash?

Beerus hadn't felt this kind of anticipation in a long time.

Sensing the deeper meaning in Beerus's eyes, Talot gritted his teeth and increased the power of the Great Ape in his peak Super Saiyan 2 state.

Boom! A flash of emerald green light appeared amidst the violent golden aura, and powerful energy surged like a torrent.

With the combined power of Super Saiyan 2nd Stage and Great Ape, his combat power skyrocketed to 20 trillion and continues to rise.

Beerus looked Talot up and down, his mocking smile deepening.

Talot is indeed very powerful now, but in his eyes, he is still an ant.

It's arrogant, but there's nothing I can do; reality is just that cruel.

As a god of destruction, his power is too great. Let alone the mere trillionth power he possesses now, even if Talot were to ascend another dimension, he would still be far from being able to compare with him.

After stabilizing his breathing, Talot, who was in the distance, had a chilling glint in his eyes. He restrained his aura and prepared for battle once again.

"If you're ready, then come at me, kid," Beerus said casually.

These words were so infuriating.

"Alright!" Talot naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. The moment he uttered those words, he sprinted in front of Beerus.

With all his might, he unleashed a devastating punch, aiming straight for Beerus.

Seeing this, Beerus casually dodged to the side, perfectly avoiding the attack.

With a deafening roar, a powerful fist gust of wind, along with an unstoppable fist pressure, tore through space and swept across the entire North Kaido planet.

King Kai of the North was swept away by the powerful force of the punch, but fortunately he managed to grab onto the roof of his dome, preventing him from being blasted off King Kai's planet.

In contrast, Angel Weiss was still enjoying his bento box; the powerful storm was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

Having missed his attack, Talot once again swung his fist and struck Beerus's body.

The punches and kicks were unstoppable, sweeping over Beerus's body like a storm.

This attack saw a qualitative leap in both power and speed.

But Beerus remained unfazed, casually raising his right hand and easily blocking all of Talot's attacks with just one index finger.

This guy blocked the attack from Super Saiyan 2 with the power of the Great Ape using only one finger.

"Boy, have you had enough? Now it's my turn." As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Beerus's eyes.

The next second, his right hand suddenly thrust in front of Talot, his right index finger bent, and he exerted force.

"Bang!!" Talot, caught off guard, was struck squarely between the eyebrows.

Talott, struck by this powerful blow, was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The force of the blow was so terrifying that it almost made him lose consciousness.

After flying backwards for over a thousand meters, Talot managed to stabilize himself and forcefully suppress the pain in his forehead. His sharp gaze swept across the space before him, but Beerus was nowhere to be seen.

Beerus himself had silently arrived behind Talot.

A chill swept over him from behind. Talot instinctively sensed the danger, turned around quickly, and unleashed a powerful whip kick that cut through the air.

A muffled thud!

Beerus easily blocked the attack and then effortlessly grabbed his ankle.

"What?!" With his ankles locked, Talot tried to break free by unleashing his power, but Beerus's strength was beyond imagination, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not move an inch.

"Not bad combat instincts. I concealed all my presence just now, and you still managed to react?" Beerus smiled nonchalantly, casually exerting force to fling Talot away like a toy.

Talot was swept up by the immense force and tumbled several times in the air, flying backwards for over a hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.

Just as he regained control of his body, Beerus closed in again and casually threw a punch.

What appears to be an ordinary strike actually contains extreme destructive power, leaving no time to dodge.

"Bang!!" An unstoppable, powerful blow struck Talot squarely in the abdomen.

The terrifying force of the punch pierced through Talot's body, churning his internal organs and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His momentum plummeted, and he instantly lost control and flew out of control.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Seeing that Talot had been seriously injured, Beerus did not intend to let him go so easily. His figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the area where Talot was about to arrive and kicked the sky hard.

"Bang!!" The blow landed squarely on Talot's back.

An irresistible force propelled Talott high into the air, and the pain from his back caused Talott's face to contort in agony, his whole body convulsing.

His body, which had been tempered and refined through countless trials, nearly collapsed after Beerus's two attacks.

Fortunately, his physical abilities were strong enough, and he had also been hiding his full strength.

Otherwise, Beerus's two attacks alone would have been enough to cripple him.

Enduring excruciating pain, Talot unleashed his power to forcefully regain control of his body and slowly turned around.

However, Beerus appeared before him at that moment.

That arrogant posture, that disdainful gaze, exuded unparalleled domineering power and inviolable divine might.

"Boy, is this all the strength you have? You've disappointed me greatly." Beerus shook his head repeatedly and sighed deeply.

"This isn't fun at all. With this level of combat power, you're not even qualified to make me use a fraction of my power. Let's end this boring game here." Beerus looked extremely disappointed and kept provoking Talot.

Is this how it ends?

Are you kidding me!

With such a formidable opponent right in front of him, how could Talot possibly let him go?

"It's not over yet."

With his warlike instincts fully unleashed, Talot's potential was also being released after being hit twice by Beerus.

Talot's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, showing no sign of backing down, and his aura surged ever higher.

"As expected of Beerus, the God of Destruction, you are indeed powerful. Even Super Saiyan 2 couldn't shake you in the slightest... However, this was within my expectations." Talot smiled coldly, casually wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth and adjusting his own state.

At the same time, the S cells in his body were constantly dividing, intensifying, and dividing again as his fighting spirit rose.

Sensing the change in Talot's aura, Beerus, who had initially felt extremely disappointed, perked up again.

"It seems you've been hiding your strength. But are you so confident that I won't kill you before you unleash your full power?" Beerus said to Talot with his hands behind his back, adopting a godlike posture.

As the strongest god of destruction, he only needs to make a slight move to kill Talot.

"I don't think I need to answer that question, because I'm not dead yet, am I? Next up is Super Saiyan 3!!!" With a thunderous roar, Talot's body erupted with terrifying golden flames.

It contained the might of the giant ape and the pressure of a god; the two pressures merged and rapidly expanded outwards from Talot. (End of Chapter)
