A vast blue, transparent barrier slowly rose above everyone's heads, like a gigantic dome of light, enclosing them all within its protection.
At the same time, Son Goku, Vegeta, Goten, Bulla, and Gohan all unleashed their Ki simultaneously. The five powerful auras merged together in an instant, forming a single, even greater force.
Under the influence of this combined power, the crimson light radiating from their bodies grew even more dazzling, like a blazing red sun that illuminated the entire sky.
The scarlet energy gathered rapidly in the heavens, swirling and burning like a sea of fire clouds. Seeing this scene, Beerus couldn't help but nod slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm… interesting. That's definitely Divine Ki," He remarked calmly. "Let's see how long they can last."
Standing beside him, Whis noticed the faintly amused look on Beerus's face and thought silently, "Looks like Lord Beerus's trip to this planet wasn't a waste after all."
Then, Whis asked curiously, "So, Lord Beerus, what do you plan to do next?"
Beerus glanced down at the warriors below, his lips curving into a playful smile. Once again, he raised his hand. In his palm, a sphere of purple destruction energy began to condense and expand, its power intensifying with every second.
The energy of destruction clashed head-on with the massive shield the Saiyans had erected, pressing down upon it relentlessly.
"I imagine their strength isn't limited to just this," Beerus said lightly, his tone laced with quiet anticipation.
Below, Vegeta and the others increased their output to resist the crushing force.
Gohan gritted his teeth. "Dad! This guy, he's not even using his full strength! He's been using the same attack from the start, but this time, he's definitely amped up his power!"
Before Goku could respond, Vegeta spoke up first: "I can tell. Which means… this Super Saiyan God form won't be enough anymore."
"In that case… It's time we use our true Saiyan power!"
As he spoke, Vegeta's body erupted in a surge of light, his form shifting dramatically as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 4.
A fierce shockwave burst outward from below, and Vegeta's energy continued to climb higher and higher.
"RAAAAH!!!"
With a roar that split the heavens, Vegeta's power soared to its peak, Full Power Super Saiyan 4.
At that moment, the destructive energy released by Beerus began to waver, it was no longer as overwhelmingly dominant.
Seeing Vegeta's transformation, Goku couldn't hold back any longer. "Vegeta! Don't go showing off all by yourself!"
In the next instant, Goku also transformed into Full Power Super Saiyan 4, his aura crackling with fiery intensity. Behind them, Bulla and Goten exchanged a brief glance, nodded to each other, and transformed as well, both taking on the same mighty form.
In that instant, a power unlike anything before erupted like a volcanic explosion, piercing the heavens. The massive shield that had seemed indestructible began to push back against the pressure, rising slowly higher into the sky.
Vegeta took the lead, the first to break through the barrier. His speed was so fast it couldn't be tracked; his body blurred into a streak of light as he launched himself toward Beerus.
Meanwhile, the others followed suit, pouring every ounce of strength into their assault, combining their energy into an unstoppable force.
Together, they finally succeeded, deflecting the terrifying sphere of destruction far away into the upper atmosphere, where it vanished in the distance.
"Hmph! I don't care if you're a God of Destruction or whatever! We won't bow to anyone's threats!" Vegeta roared, his eyes burning with unwavering determination.
Without hesitation, he soared into the sky, charging straight toward Beerus.
His fist cut through the air like a meteor, trailing raw power and fierce intent as it crashed down upon Beerus. In that moment, Beerus immediately noticed something, Vegeta no longer had the aura of Divine Ki.
Yet, instead of disappointment, this change stirred a spark of excitement in him. He could clearly sense that in this primal, unleashed state, Vegeta's power was even greater than when he wielded godly energy.
This oncoming punch, unstoppable in both speed and strength, was truly remarkable.
However, who is Beerus, really?
Among the twelve Universe Destruction Gods, he stands as one of the very best. Scenes like this are indeed rare for him to witness… but not entirely unfamiliar either. As Vegeta's fierce punch came flying in, Beerus merely tilted his body slightly, and with that subtle motion, effortlessly slipped past the attack.
Yet, the experienced Vegeta seemed to have anticipated this very reaction from Beerus.
The instant Beerus turned his body, a cunning smile appeared on Vegeta's face.
"Then let me show you the new technique I've learned!"
"Solar Flare!!"
In that instant, Vegeta placed his palm on his forehead, and a blinding flash erupted, a searing light slashed across Beerus's eyes. This was indeed the first time Beerus had ever encountered such a move. The intense, piercing brilliance assaulted his vision, forcing him to shut his eyes tight.
At that moment, seeing that Beerus had been struck by the Solar Flare, the others launched their attacks simultaneously.
Bulla flashed in front of Beerus and whipped her leg in a powerful side kick.
At the same time, Goku and Gohan appeared behind Beerus, hand-chops already poised to strike. Meanwhile, Goten was charging up his Kamehameha, ready to fire.
Beerus's eyes remained firmly closed.
Yet, as their combined assault descended, Beerus's body suddenly began to move on its own. Every single attack missed its mark. Beerus's movements had entered a peculiar state fluid, instinctive, and effortless.
From the sidelines, Whis smiled faintly and murmured to himself: "Oh? It seems Lord Beerus has truly taken my words to heart."
"So… he's testing that technique, is he?"
"It does seem to be showing a little effect, though… the gap is still vast. After all, this is only the beginning. But the fact that Lord Beerus is willing to take this step forward, that alone is already quite impressive."
With a calm squint of his eyes, Whis continued watching the battle unfold. High in the sky, Beerus, though his eyes remained closed, was dodging with astonishing ease.
"So strong! This guy…" Super Mini Cell gasped from afar, unable to hide his shock.
Beerus seemed to dance elegantly through the air, like a graceful performer gliding across an invisible stage.
"Damn it! Don't get so full of yourself!" Vegeta's fury exploded, an overwhelming wave of energy burst from his fists. He'd had enough of Beerus's calm, almost smug demeanor.
BANG…!
A heavy punch smashed square into Beerus's face, so fast it struck before sound could even catch up.
For a moment, the air itself froze still.
Down below, Whis's expression drooped slightly as he sighed, "Looks like… Lord Beerus still has a long way to go."
Up in the sky, the once self-absorbed Beerus suddenly opened his eyes wide.
