Super Saiyan Blue Three
However, Merus did not refuse. With a gentle wave of his Scepter, a large projection appeared on the scene.
The projected image showed Bardock and Beerus in battle, with Buu watching the spectacle from the sidelines.
"Dad is so amazing!" Goku kept exclaiming.
"Go, Grandpa!" Goten exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs.
"Hmph, if you can't even beat a cat, you don't deserve to be my dad!" Calorie snorted.
"Calorie, you didn't get a good beating from your dad just now, did you?" Gine shouted angrily.
Calorie didn't argue back, pretending not to hear, and stared up at the projected image.
"Go, Grandpa! You must defeat that God of Destruction named Beerus!" Gohan cheered for his grandfather from afar.
"Dad, let's cheer for Goten's grandpa too," Trunks said to Vegeta beside him.
"Shut up!" Vegeta glared at Trunks, annoyed.
Trunks: "???"
Trunks expressed his bewilderment.
Why are you telling me to shut up?
"That unreasonable stray cat actually fought with a person over a pudding!" Chi-Chi said, waving her fist in annoyance. "Grandpa, beat him!"
High on the mountain.
Bardock was engulfed in flames, his long hair flowing freely.
"Whoosh!"
Bardock dodged and quickly closed the distance with Beerus, unleashing a powerful punch at him.
Beerus reacted extremely quickly, striking Zat squarely in the chest with a powerful palm strike.
"Bang!"
Bardock was hit and his body flew backward.
Beerus caught up and kicked Bardock off the plane.
"Boom!"
Bardock's body plunged into the mountain below with a deafening roar.
The mountain collapsed with a deafening roar, burying Bardock beneath the rocks.
However, Bardock then burst into the air from the rocks and quickly returned to the opposite side of Beerus.
Beerus looked at Bardock with some surprise in his eyes.
"Not bad! What's your name again?" Beerus suddenly became interested.
"Bardock," Bardock said his name softly.
"Very good, I'll remember you!" Beerus nodded with a smile.
Bardock snorted and assumed a fighting stance.
"By the way, is your outfit... that of God of Destruction?" Beerus asked, scrutinizing Bardock.
"Yes, I am the God of Destruction." Bardock nodded, without denying it.
"So here's the question: which Gods of Destruction of the Universe are you?" Beerus asked again. "It seems you're not Apprentice God of Destruction, but a real God of Destruction! How come I didn't know that a certain universe had replaced its God of Destruction! It seems a lot has happened during the years I've been asleep."
"I am the Gods of Destruction of the Universe 9," Bardock said truthfully.
"What? Universe 9?" Beerus was slightly stunned.
Bardock remained silent, knowing that Beerus would be very surprised.
That's what's surprising!
You've been sleeping all these years, so there are many things you don't know.
And all of these things happened during the years you were asleep.
It can be said that during the time Beerus was asleep, some universes underwent earth-shattering changes.
Even the Universe 7 has undergone significant changes.
However, Beerus has just woken up and doesn't know many things.
"As far as I know, the Gods of Destruction of the Universe 9 is named Sidra!" Beerus suddenly had a bad feeling and looked at Bardock, asking, "How is he?"
"Dead." Bardock simply said two words.
"What... what did you say?" Beerus exclaimed, his expression changing repeatedly.
Bardock smiled slightly and did not continue speaking.
"You... you said Sidra is dead? How did he die?" Beerus asked in a deep voice.
"He provoked the wrong person and died." Bardock didn't go into details.
"Who did he offend?" Beerus asked hastily, startled.
"He is an extremely powerful god," Bardock replied. "Even the guards must show him the utmost respect."
"You bastard! Aren't you talking about Lord Zeno?" Beerus's face darkened.
"No." Bardock shook his head.
Beerus froze for a moment, looking completely bewildered.
Not Lord Zeno?
That must be the Grand Minister.
However, the Grand Minister has never killed God of Destruction before.
"So, it's the Grand Minister?" Beerus asked again, still not giving up.
After all, Beerus was still quite alarmed that a God of Destruction had died.
Bardock smiled slightly, then didn't continue speaking.
"Say something!" Beerus snapped.
Why does this guy only say half of what he means?
"I've told you everything I need to say. The rest is up to you to figure out." Bardock smiled. "In short, I only have one thing to say: a lot of things happened while you were sleeping, and you need to process them slowly."
Beerus: "..."
That bastard is infuriating!
I've said everything, yet it feels like I haven't said anything at all.
Your answer is ambiguous!
That's infuriating!
"I've been working hard to train all these years, hoping to defeat you as soon as possible," Bardock said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Is that so? With your mediocre skills?" Beerus sneered.
"Yes, with my mediocre skills." Bardock nodded.
After saying this, Bardock moved and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Bardock appeared behind Beerus and unleashed a powerful punch.
"Bang!"
However, Beerus was faster, kicking backward and striking Bardock directly in the chin.
Bardock let out a howl and leaned back.
Beerus attacked again, landing a left punch on Bardock's chest.
"Bang!"
Beerus executed a bicycle kick, sending Bardock crashing to the ground.
Bardock plummeted into the deep forest below like a cannonball.
"Hateful!"
Bardock gritted his teeth, flames erupting from his body, and suddenly stopped about three meters above the ground.
"Call out!"
Bardock transformed into a fiery red streak of light, rushing towards Beerus and throwing a punch.
This punch was earth-shattering, and the entire sky seemed to be dyed fiery red.
Seeing the powerful punch coming at him, Beerus calmly raised his right hand and pressed it down.
"Smack!"
Badat's fist struck Beerus's right hand, landing squarely in his palm.
Looking at Beerus, he merely moved his arm slightly, and that was all.
"Not bad, among all the God of Destruction, you're considered one of the more powerful ones," Beerus commented. "Your current level is even comparable to that of Quitela!"
Bardock remained silent.
"You know Quitela, right?" Beerus asked, still holding Barat's hand.
"That yellow-haired rat!" Bardock nodded.
"It's him." Beerus chuckled softly, his expression suddenly turning serious. "But compared to me, you're still a long way off!"
"Bang!"
As Beerus spoke, he kicked Bardock in the head.
Bardock felt dizzy at that moment.
Beerus then suddenly swung his hand, grabbed Bardock's arm, and flung him high into the air.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Buu appeared quickly beside Bardock and caught him.
Beerus glanced in Buu's direction, his eyes filled with a contemptuous smile.
"Hey, how are you?" Buu asked Bardock.
"As expected, he is the Strongest God of Destruction. I am far from being his match." Bardock smiled bitterly.
"Only Broly can handle that guy," Buu said in a deep voice.
"Please heal me, Lord God of Destruction," Bardock suddenly said to Buu.
"What? You still want to keep fighting that guy?" Buu was taken aback.
"Let's give it one last try. If it doesn't work, then forget it," Bardock said with a smile.
"Oh!" Buu nodded gently.
Without hesitation, Buu quickly enveloped Bardock with the healing flames in his hand.
"Healing Technique?" Beerus raised an eyebrow, but showed no intention of stopping him.
That's how confident I am God of Destruction.
"Take good care of your injuries and recover your energy. That'll make the fight more interesting," Beerus chuckled. "Or you two can come at me together."
"There's no need for that. I'm good enough on my own." Bardock quickly regained his energy, and his strength was fully restored.
"No matter how many times you are treated, you will never be my match." Beerus said with a contemptuous smile.
"If I still can't beat you this time, then I'll admit defeat," Bardock said in a low voice.
"Oh? You have new transformations?" Beerus immediately became interested.
"That's it, this is my strongest transformation!" Bardock said in a deep voice. "If I push this transformation to its limit, I can reach a very high level."
"Really? Then show me your best." Beerus looked at Bardock with a smile.
"Okay, next... next..." Bardock said, his expression becoming unusually serious.
In Bulma's courtyard.
Everyone looked up at the projection in the sky.
Because Beerus and Bardock's battle location is very far from here, it can only be viewed through a projection.
The projection, provided by Merus, was large enough to provide a clear view for everyone present.
"Goku, can your dad keep increasing his power?" Krillin asked. "Is he just making things difficult for us?"
"Smack!"
As soon as Krillin finished speaking, he was smacked hard on the head.
Krillin winced in pain and turned to look behind him.
"Hey, you bald guy! Don't you dare comment on my dad!" Calorie snorted.
Krillin: "..."
"You're even cursing your father to die!" Krillin said irritably.
"That's my dad. I can say whatever I want, and it's none of your business to tell me what to do," Calorie snapped. "You little rascal, you're such a busybody!"
"You... you... Goku, look! Control your brother!" Krillin trembled with rage.
"Since my dad said so, then there must be no problem." Goku laughed heartily.
Krillin: "..."
Goku, you've changed.
Am I not your best friend?
"The real battle is about to begin, Calorie, so you'd better watch out," Goku called out to Calorie.
"Hmph, it's none of your business." Calorie snorted and turned to leave.
"Can Bardock continue to improve?" Merus turned to ask Luo Tian.
"Okay." Luo Tian nodded.
"He's already at Level 54. Even if he continues to improve, it will be difficult for him to improve by more than two levels." Merus pondered, then shook his head, not very optimistic about Bardock. "Beerus is currently level 58. That's quite a big difference! After all, being just one level higher can easily crush an opponent. Just now, Beerus was just playing around."
"Just watch closely." Luo Tian smiled slightly.
Merus immediately stared intently at it.
"Seriously... what was supposed to be a birthday party has turned into a movie party," Bulma said helplessly.
Whis and Linglong both looked up at the projection in the sky, but neither of them said anything.
High in the mountains.
Bardock's expression grew increasingly solemn.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, Bardock suddenly unleashed an even greater divine Divine Power.
Meanwhile, the flames on Bardock's body became even more intense.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
The next moment, the lightning on Bardock became even more intense.
"Smack!"
What happened next was astonishing.
Suddenly, the flames on Bardock's body changed color, turning blue in an instant.
Beerus paused slightly, his eyes widening.
Even Bardock himself was stunned for a moment, his face showing astonishment.
Why did it change color?
"Dad is amazing! Isn't that Super Saiyan Blue Three?" Goku exclaimed excitedly. "Wow! I've only just mastered Super Saiyan Blue, and Dad can already transform into Super Saiyan 3!"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta was completely stunned.
Unfortunately, my father is already dead.
If my father were still alive, he would be even more powerful than Kakarot's father.
Buu, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, momentarily stunned.
"Hmph, you bastard! Your color has changed, so it doesn't count as a transformation, right?" Beerus's face darkened.
"No, I didn't know it would turn this color." Bardock examined his hands and the blue light emanating from his body, feeling increasingly surprised.
At that moment, Bardock clearly felt a tremendous change in his body.
It seems like there has been a qualitative improvement.
Unfortunately, Bardock felt that his powerful divine Divine Power probably wouldn't last long.
Moreover, it is extremely unstable and could spread at any time.
"My transformation time is limited. I will go all out from here on out, so you'd better be careful," Bardock said calmly.
"Come on." Beerus beckoned to Bardock, his expression turning unusually serious.
Beerus sensed it too; Bardock's current transformation was definitely not as easy to deal with as it had been before.
This guy changed color and became incredibly powerful.
Compared to before, he's practically a different person.
