In the enhanced state of the Great Ape's power, Talot's body possessed a self-recovery ability far stronger than in his normal state.
His injured fists healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to perfect condition in just a few short seconds.
After his injuries fully recovered, Talot fixed his gaze on Champa ahead, watching every movement the other made, remaining on guard at all times.
At this moment, Champa's face was as dark as ink. Having suffered backlash from the clash of power as well, he did not feel well either.
His arm felt numb. Though it was only a minor flesh wound, it caused the anger in his heart to surge higher and higher.
As his emotions grew increasingly agitated, that terrifying Power of Destruction also became stronger and stronger.
When was the last time he had been injured? He could hardly remember.
If it had been Beerus who injured him, he could accept it; after all, they were both God of Destruction.
But being hurt by Talot had touched upon his dignity as the God of Destruction. This was something he absolutely could not accept.
"As expected, he's still angry. But that's a good thing for me." Talot understood Champa too well.
The slightest setback would send him into a rage.
There was not the slightest trace of fear in Talot's eyes, only intense battle intent and eagerness!
After those previous exchanges, the fighting genes within his body had been completely stimulated.
Having also stepped into the divine level, Talot, in his Super Saiyan Blue • Great Ape Power Enhanced state, did not believe that Champa could defeat him so easily.
Moreover, he could use Champa to reach an even higher level of Super Saiyan Blue!
A year of bitter training could not be wasted! And Champa's arrival truly had come at the right time.
…
Without hesitation, Talot rapidly gathered his energy, clasped his hands together, and after condensing the power to its limit, thrust them forward in a swift motion.
In an instant, a divine beam of immeasurable destructive force shot violently from his palms, charging straight toward Champa.
Facing this incoming divine beam, Champa remained indifferent, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.
The moment Talot's divine beam struck him, an unbelievable scene occurred.
The invisible layer of Power of Destruction surrounding Champa froze the attack in place, and in the very next instant, completely destroyed it, reducing it to nothingness.
Seeing his powerful strike so effortlessly neutralized made Talot's mood grow heavier, realizing the situation had turned unfavorable.
At this moment, the destructive aura permeating Champa's body grew increasingly intense, and a sharp destructive light flashed within his eyes.
"Buzz~!!!!"
Champa raised his right hand. In his palm, a deep purple Sphere of Destruction emerged.
The instant this energy sphere fully formed, the entire God of Destruction's Planet trembled slightly under the overwhelming might of the God of Destruction.
"That Champa still can't keep his cool. No wonder he lost to that brat in a fair match five million years later," Beerus remarked, saying Champa hadn't improved at all.
The Power of Destruction Champa was unleashing now far surpassed Talot's current level.
Relying solely on his Super Saiyan Blue • Great Ape Power Enhanced state, it was absolutely impossible for Talot to block it.
"Lord Champa truly hasn't changed at all. Sigh~~ After we return this time, I really must get him to be more active," Vados commented helplessly.
Champa refused to admit that his future self had lost to Talot, which was what led to this battle…
But judging by the situation before them, Champa was already trying to decide victory through overwhelming Power of Destruction. Even if he won like this, what would be the meaning?
"Lord Beerus, Sister, let's keep watching. Talot may not lose so easily," Whis said. Unlike Beerus and Vados, he instead believed Talot might create a miracle.
After all, he had personally trained him. Even though it had only been eleven months, Whis was full of confidence in Talot.
Even if he were to lose, Talot would not exit in such a manner. He would surely bring everyone an enormous surprise at a moment they least expected.
Hearing this, Beerus and Vados glanced sideways slightly.
This was no longer merely a gap in strength, but a gap in realm—a chasm of dimensions.
Such a disparity could not be bridged simply by increasing one's power.
However, since Whis held Talot in such high regard, they too became interested.
They wondered in what manner Talot would continue fighting Champa in the end.
…
In the sky.
Champa held the Sphere of Destruction in his hand, his gaze cold and indifferent.
He did not speak, but that expression alone already told Talot the answer. Either surrender, or be completely destroyed by the Sphere of Destruction in his hand.
Talot naturally understood this, but as a Saiyan, how could he possibly surrender?
Hovering between life and death was nothing new to him.
This scene was strikingly similar to the time he had fought Champa in the future timeline.
"Bring it on, Champa!!" With a loud shout, Talot's divine power surged around him, and the power of the Great Ape erupted in full. The two forces merged and exploded with a might that could rival the peak of the Seventh Dimension. [TN: It just means very overpowered.]
There was no thought of retreat—only the will to press forward without hesitation.
"You brought this upon yourself, brat. When you're reduced to ashes, don't regret that I didn't give you a chance!" At this point, how could Champa possibly back down?
Driven by his will, the incomparably pure Sphere of Destruction shot forth from his palm, stirring ripples in space as it blasted straight toward Talot.
Sensing the vast divine might rushing toward him, Talot focused completely. Blue and green flames burned around his body, and with a thunderous roar, he thrust both hands forward.
A boundlessly powerful divine shockwave burst violently from Talot's palms.
'Boom~~!!!!'
In an instant, divine might surged and space trembled.
Talot's full-powered invisible divine shockwave collided with Champa's Sphere of Destruction, unleashing a heaven-shaking explosion and violent shockwaves across the God of Destruction's Planet.
At that moment, the entire God of Destruction's Planet began to tremble. Purple light flickered across the sky, and Champa's Sphere of Destruction froze in midair, seemingly truly suppressed by the invisible divine force Talot had unleashed.
