Chapter 132: Fighting Champa
"A human?"
Sensing the destruction energy's loss of control, Champa's heart jumped in alarm. He immediately looked over.
Then he saw that destruction energy sphere spinning in the hand of the person before him—who appeared to be an apprentice Supreme Kai.
"Lord Champa!"
At this moment, Vados also moved closer, standing beside Champa.
Before Vados could finish speaking, Champa waved his hand, addressing Turles unceremoniously:
"Boy, are you that guy Fuwa's disciple? Did he tell you what attitude you should have facing me?"
After speaking, Champa's chubby face tilted slightly upward, only using the corner of his eyes to look at Turles.
Hearing this, not only did Turles feel somewhat speechless, even Vados couldn't stand watching anymore.
"Lord Champa, this is the Universe 7 apprentice Supreme Kai that Fuwa-sama mentioned—Turles-san!"
Helplessly, Vados tugged Champa's sleeve, softly reintroducing Turles's identity in his ear.
"Fuwa?"
Though Vados's voice was quiet, Turles still heard it. His thoughts turned once, suddenly understanding.
Logically, even if Champa wasn't as sleep-obsessed as Beerus and took his God of Destruction work more seriously, he wouldn't reach the point of appearing to handle things the moment Broly showed up.
But if it was Fuwa's request, that made sense.
Thinking this, Turles waved his large hand, placing a protective barrier over the unconscious Broly, letting him slowly descend.
Seeing Broly safely land on the ground, Turles released a breath of relief, then looked again at the destruction energy sphere in his hand.
After contemplating briefly, Turles still abandoned the idea of studying it. He released his restriction on this destruction energy sphere.
He could study it later—there would be opportunities. Right now, most important was sending these two away.
Sensing his control over the destruction energy sphere restored, Champa felt somewhat surprised. Then lightly beckoning, the destruction energy sphere flew toward him. When returning to Champa's hand, the energy sphere gradually annihilated, finally disappearing completely.
Though this destruction energy sphere contained only a trace of God of Destruction power, for Champa, recovering even a bit was good.
The God of Destruction power's recovery improved Champa's mood. Combined with the just-concluded satisfying battle with Broly, currently Champa's gaze toward Turles also changed somewhat.
Then Champa's body began slowly descending. Soon he reached the same height as Turles.
Circling Turles once, looking at this apprentice Supreme Kai whose entire body emanated divine power aura, Champa's eyes showed some curiosity.
"You're really an apprentice Supreme Kai?"
After circling and observing for ages, Champa truly couldn't suppress his curiosity, directly asking.
In his impression, he'd never seen a Supreme Kai like Turles. Moreover, the divine power on Turles's body didn't belong to Supreme Kai divine power.
"Lord Champa, Lady Vados! I am Universe 7's apprentice Supreme Kai—Turles!"
Though Turles also very much wanted to test his Super Saiyan God battle power, this didn't mean antagonizing Champa. So he still very politely made a self-introduction.
Currently, Vados also came before both. After examining Turles up and down, she speculated:
"Turles-san seemingly didn't break through to god's realm through his own power, correct?"
Though speculation, Vados's tone was extremely certain—clearly she'd already seen through something.
Hearing Vados say this, Turles just smiled, not answering.
Seeing this, Vados didn't get angry. Just meaningfully stated: "God's realm is a wondrous realm. Mortals wanting to break through should best rely on their own power. Otherwise, if divine power becomes contaminated, that would be somewhat counterproductive."
Hearing this, Turles's heart jumped in alarm. His expression also turned serious.
He truly didn't know achieving Super Saiyan God transformation through others actually had such drawbacks. Just as he wanted consulting Vados further, Champa interrupted.
"Boy, since you're Universe 7's apprentice Supreme Kai, rashly coming to Universe 6 isn't permitted. Even if I killed you right now, no one would know. Are you afraid?"
Gods of Destruction were indeed somewhat mercurial. Just now Champa was somewhat curious about Turles. Now he directly changed face.
Hearing this, Turles immediately startled, subconsciously retreating one step. But raising his head, he saw the teasing in Champa's eyes.
"Lord Champa, whatever you want to do, just say it directly!"
Inwardly sighing, Turles directly spoke.
"Good! Fight me once!"
From Turles's earlier move, Champa knew Turles's battle power was strong—at minimum, stronger than some Supreme Kais.
So after hearing Turles's words, Champa immediately grew excited. His just-cool expression could no longer hold.
Champa probably didn't know—he simply wasn't the type who used his brain. His thoughts basically showed on his face.
Vados also couldn't stand her God of Destruction lord's clumsy performance. Noticing the speechless expression on Turles's face, she had to step forward, salvaging face for Champa:
"Lord Champa, have you forgotten? Gods of Destruction cannot attack Supreme Kais?"
The words were for Champa, but Vados's gaze fell on Turles—clearly she wanted Turles not to agree.
As an Angel, Vados had obligation to dissuade some of Champa's excessive actions.
However, clearly Vados didn't understand Turles—this Supreme Kai wasn't properly trained from the orthodox path.
As a Saiyan, Turles's character also contained a battle-loving aspect. Turles could just restrain it well.
Now since Champa said so, he could also conveniently test Super Saiyan God's strength.
"Sure, Lord Champa, this is my honor!"
After speaking, without waiting for Champa's answer, Turles began raising his divine power.
"Hahaha!"
Turles's action startled Champa momentarily. But he quickly reacted. After laughing loudly once, he also similarly began raising his divine power.
Seeing persuasion was futile, Vados could only wave her staff, setting up a massive energy barrier around Turles and Champa, enclosing both inside.
With Vados's energy barrier, Turles completely relaxed inwardly. His attention also focused entirely on Champa.
After transforming into Super Saiyan God, Turles felt his perception further strengthened. Like now—he could clearly sense Champa's divine power aura.
Unlike the original story, when Goku first transformed into Super Saiyan God and fought Beerus, he couldn't sense Beerus's aura.
Precisely because he could sense Champa's divine power aura, Turles understood even more clearly how powerful a God of Destruction was.
However, precisely facing such an opponent, Turles's blood rarely boiled.
"Ha!"
Turles roared explosively. The red flames wrapping his entire body surged again. Soon they contacted Champa's surrounding purple flames.
Facing Turles's aura increase, Champa also began getting somewhat excited. He couldn't help raising his own aura a notch.
Rumble!
The collision of two divine power auras directly caused space to tremble. Turles believed—if not for Vados's protective barrier, currently space would produce cracks from their collision.
Swish!
Suddenly, Turles's figure vanished from place without warning.
Bang!
A massive collision sound rang out. Terrifying shockwaves erupted. All matter inside the energy barrier annihilated under these shockwaves.
Meanwhile, Turles's figure had already appeared behind Champa. However, currently his attack had already been blocked by Champa.
"Hehe, boy, you seem to be underestimating this god!"
Effortlessly receiving Turles's sneak attack, Champa taunted him once. Immediately after, his entire body vanished from Turles's sight.
Regarding Champa receiving his attack, Turles wasn't surprised. So after Champa's figure disappeared, Turles raised his spirits fully. Mental perception expanded to maximum.
"Found you!"
Suddenly, Turles sensed an anomaly in space. Inwardly exclaiming, the space around his body twisted once, then vanished from place again.

Outside, Vados waved her staff, reinforcing the energy barrier once more. Then lowering her staff, she began observing both fighters' battle.
"That special boy Whis mentioned last time—it's this little guy, right?"
"Looks like this little guy's improvement far exceeds Whis's expectations!"
Watching inside the energy barrier—Turles fighting Champa evenly—Vados recalled matters Whis mentioned during their last communication.
However, recalling how Turles received God of Destruction power earlier and even severed Champa's control over God of Destruction power, Vados knew even Whis had unknown areas.
Thinking this, Vados's gaze shifted slightly, some thoughts flashing through.
"This is... Ultra Instinct?"
Suddenly, Vados's eyes focused, seemingly somewhat incredulous, murmuring softly.
But next second, she denied it: "No, not Ultra Instinct. Still somewhat lacking!"
"Interesting!"
Nevertheless, Vados's interest in Turles grew even stronger.
---
Currently inside the protective barrier, Turles had already used full strength.
Champa truly deserved being God of Destruction. Even ranked lower among Gods of Destruction, his power still exceeded Turles's imagination.
Initially, Turles could still rely on Super Saiyan God power to fight Champa evenly.
Not only that—possibly because Champa completely didn't take Turles seriously. Even though Turles already displayed god's realm, the arrogance inherent to Gods of Destruction still made him somewhat underestimate Turles's power.
Yet Turles didn't underestimate Champa. Simultaneously, he also wanted quickly familiarizing himself with Super Saiyan God power. So from the start, he launched full-power attacks.
Thus careless, Champa was actually suppressed by Turles.
Being suppressed by a human—with Champa's temperament, how could he endure? Soon he fought with true fire. Divine power aura surged again.
This surge from Champa caught Turles somewhat off-guard. The just-familiarized battle rhythm immediately broke. Champa seized the opening.
As God of Destruction, Champa's lifespan had lasted unknown ages. Battle count was countless. His combat experience was imaginable.
So after catching Turles's opening, he immediately began counterattacking. Soon Turles's situation became precarious.
"Damn!"
After blocking Champa's attack again, Turles felt the soreness on his arms. His heart couldn't help cursing inwardly.
Not just Champa—even Turles currently felt somewhat heated. Seeing Champa attack again, Turles had no choice but using his long-unused pseudo-Ultra Instinct.
"Whew!"
Releasing a long breath, Turles's eyes slowly closed. His mental world began rippling. Mental power rapidly consumed. Scenes of fighting Champa constantly flashed. Champa's fighting style was rapidly analyzed by him.
"Damn!"
Seeing Turles dare closing his eyes while fighting him, Champa immediately angered.
Though at their strength level, organs like eyes and ears had greatly reduced perception roles, Turles's appearance seemed to look down on him.
Involuntarily, the force on his fist increased several notches.
"Whew!"
But just as Champa's fist was about to land on Turles, Turles suddenly opened his eyes.
What kind of eyes were these? From his gaze, Champa saw no emotional fluctuation whatsoever—seemingly like a precise instrument.
The next scene surprised Champa even more. His supposedly certain-hit strike was actually dodged by Turles.
Though somewhat surprised, Champa thought this just an accident. So immediately a horizontal punch followed the previous attack, continuing to sweep toward Turles's chest. Moreover, he accelerated somewhat this time.
"What? How's this possible!"
Merely slightly turning sideways, Turles again dodged Champa's attack. Everything occurred silently—as if Turles had already predicted Champa's attack.
Once might be accident. But dodging his attacks twice wasn't accident.
Swish!
Champa sharply retreated, opening distance from Turles. Looking at Turles's calm face, his eyes showed some uncertainty.
"Boy, what just happened?"
After thinking for ages without understanding how Turles managed it, Champa couldn't help asking in a low voice.
Facing Champa's question, Turles's gaze showed no fluctuation. Just calmly watching Champa. That completely unrippled gaze made Champa involuntarily frown.
"This boy seems changed!"
Champa didn't act rashly. Just watching Turles while contemplating the earlier situation.
Suddenly, Champa seemed to remember something. His gaze flashed with horror. His mouth spoke word by word:
"Ul...tra... In...stinct..."
