The True Battle Begins Now

Beerus watched Ye Ming ascend into the sky, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly. He could clearly perceive that Ye Ming's strength far exceeded that of Son Goku and Vegeta.

Beerus said indifferently, "I know you are strong, but only among mortals. This God is a God of Destruction, tasked with the responsibility of destroying planets in this universe, but I do not mind eliminating a few arrogant fools in the process."

Ye Ming did not dispute Beerus's words, smiling as he replied, "Lord Beerus's strength is undoubtedly formidable. Since we initiated this battle, let us be the ones to conclude it. I will certainly let Lord Beerus witness the power of us mortals."

Seeing Ye Ming's immense confidence, Beerus felt his interest piqued.

"In that case, this God shall see what you are truly worth. If you are as pathetic as Son Goku, Earth will certainly be destroyed," Beerus stated.

Below, Son Goku heard this and his face darkened. Am I really that weak? Or is it just that you are too strong? Goku thought to himself.

Hearing Beerus's remark, Vegeta burst into laughter. "How gratifying! Kakarot, I never thought you would have such a miserable day."

Son Goku looked at Vegeta with disdain and said, "If you go up there, the outcome might be even worse than mine."

"You... hmph!" Vegeta was about to lash out at Son Goku, but he managed to calm himself down.

The scene returned to the sky, where Beerus and Ye Ming confronted each other. Their auras gradually became terrifying, the invisible pressure causing the sea below to churn violently.

The Z Fighters below saw this display and quickly retreated, watching the two fierce figures above with terror.

At this moment, Whis noticed that Ye Ming was about to fight Beerus and quickly used his staff to surround the entire cruise ship, forming a protective barrier.

Seeing Whis take action, the Z Fighters felt a sense of relief, thinking to themselves that the servant of this God of Destruction was quite capable indeed!

Just then, Ye Ming transformed first, shifting directly into the Super Saiyan Third Stage full-power form. A terrifying aura permeated from Earth to every corner of the universe.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the Earth; dark clouds gathered as golden light shone brilliantly. Beerus looked at this unusual Super Saiyan Third Stage before him.

He smiled at Ye Ming and said, "This Super Saiyan Third Stage of yours is many times stronger than Son Goku's! Your energy and strength have risen by dozens of levels; even this God must applaud you."

Ye Ming clenched his fists and took a fighting stance. "After all, facing a powerful deity like Lord Beerus, I must give it my all!"

"Oh, is this your full power? Do not try to deceive this God. If this is truly your limit, then Earth is surely doomed!" Beerus said seriously.

As Ye Ming had expected, Beerus's strength in this universe was immense; he felt no pressure even from this Super Saiyan Third Stage form.

One had to remember that he was not an ordinary Super Saiyan Third Stage, but one enhanced by the system—Ye Ming, possessing the body of Vegito.

However, Beerus grew serious, adopting a proper fighting stance.

The Z Fighters below saw Beerus take a stance, noting that during his previous fight with Goku, he had kept his hands behind his back, as if he hadn't been fighting seriously at all.

Now that Beerus had adopted a combat posture, it meant Ye Ming's strength was enough to make Beerus take him seriously.

Suddenly, Ye Ming rushed toward Beerus with such incredible speed that even Beerus was taken aback.

He threw a punch at Beerus's face. Beerus felt the sting of the blow and was sent flying, crashing through the atmosphere. This was exactly what Ye Ming intended; he had to move the battlefield away from Earth.

Ye Ming followed swiftly, pressing his advantage. The Z Fighters saw them move away from the planet and realized they must be fighting in space.

Before they could move, Whis walked over and said, "Oh my, if you wish to watch their battle, I can assist you."

As he spoke, Whis used his staff to project an image of Beerus and Ye Ming battling in outer space.

Whis was also quite interested in the fight, though he still believed Lord Beerus would be the ultimate victor.

"Though, perhaps there might be a surprise!" Whis's lips curled slightly.

Whis began eating from his lunchbox while watching them fight.

The battle between Beerus and Ye Ming raged in space; in less than a minute, they had exchanged no fewer than a hundred blows.

The shockwaves from their clash left the living beings of the universe trembling in fear.

Far away in the Realm of the Gods, Old Kai and Shin watched the battle clearly, cold sweat dripping down their faces.

Shin asked, "Old Ancestor, what are the odds of Ye Ming winning?"

Old Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You may not realize it, but Lord Beerus is the strongest God of Destruction among the 12 universes. His strength is unfathomable. Ye Ming is still too young; while his potential is astonishing, he may not be enough right now."

Old Kai spoke tactfully, as he did not wish to see Earth destroyed.

Back at the battlefield, Ye Ming was covered in wounds, and Beerus had sustained some injuries as well, though they were not severe.

Beerus remarked, "Ye Ming, I did not expect your strength to reach this level. To force this God to use thirty percent of his power is enough for you to be proud."

Hearing this, Ye Ming was shocked: Only thirty percent? Then how strong is his full power?

He knew Beerus had not used the true power of a God of Destruction, and it was rumored he possessed Ultra Instinct, though it was not yet perfect.

Ye Ming's mind raced, and suddenly the system spoke: "Congratulations to the host for battling Beerus. Reward: Super Saiyan 4 Full Power and the embryonic form of Ultra Instinct."

Seeing the reward arrive, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. If the reward hadn't come, the system would have been left to collect his corpse.

The embryonic form of Ultra Instinct, Ye Ming thought. It seems to be the imperfect form Son Goku first used in the original story, but it should be enough for now.

Beerus watched Ye Ming lost in thought and smiled. "What? Are you thinking of how to deal with me? You may use any technique you wish; this God will take them all."

Looking at the incredibly arrogant Beerus, infinite fighting spirit surged within Ye Ming. He would make Beerus pay for his arrogance; he would make Beerus realize that the power of a mortal could also make him feel a sense of crisis.

Beerus saw Ye Ming's serious expression and adopted a genuine look of focus.

Ye Ming said to Beerus, "Lord Beerus, I acknowledge that you are the strongest god in this universe, but you should never underestimate the power of mortals, for sometimes, mortals can defeat gods."

Hearing this, Beerus burst into laughter. "Is that so? Such a ridiculous statement—I haven't heard it in tens of millions of years. If you have the strength, prove it to me. If not, the ending might be quite tragic."

Their words reached the ears of the Z Fighters, who realized that Ye Ming was about to reveal his true capabilities.

At this moment, Whis also stood up with his hands behind his back: "Then let me see what kind of surprises this mysterious visitor from another universe has in store for me; after all, even the Grand Priest has taken notice of him."

As he spoke, the scene returned to the battlefield.

Ye Ming suddenly clenched his fists and let out a roar. A power far exceeding the Super Saiyan Third Stage surged forth; his hair gradually turned black, red fur sprouted across his body, and his muscles bulged.

This power was simply too immense. In the distance, Beerus watched Ye Ming, who was continuously growing stronger, with wide eyes, and even Beerus was forced to retreat repeatedly under this terrifying aura.

The people on Earth fared poorly. Whis had not expected him to be hiding such formidable power, so he hurriedly stepped into space and used his staff to envelop the entire planet in a protective barrier.

Yet Ye Ming's transformation continued, his energy growing exponentially. His gaze gradually turned ferocious, and the sheer terror of his power made even Beerus feel a trace of fear.

This energy even crossed the boundaries of the universe, reaching into other realms.

In Universe 6, at the residence of the God of Destruction, Champa and his attendant Vados sensed the power coming from beyond their universe.

Champa said in shock: "This power actually pierced through the cosmic boundary and reached here; it seems to be coming from Universe 7! Does Universe 7 really have such a powerful warrior?"

Vados was also quite interested at this moment; she likewise brought out her staff and projected the scene unfolding in Universe 7.

Two figures appeared on the staff: one was Beerus, and the other was the transformed Ye Ming.

Champa widened his eyes, then narrowed them and began to laugh: "It seems that fellow Beerus has met his match. Haha, I would be very happy to see him get defeated."

At this time, Vados said: "That human is very strong. Although he is not a god, he can rival a deity through pure physical strength alone. It seems Universe 7 has indeed produced a very powerful warrior."

Champa did not speak; he said to Vados: "Let us watch the outcome of this battle! Our destruction duties are already finished anyway."

Vados covered her red lips and said: "Very well! Lord Champa, it has been a long time since we have seen a battle of this caliber."

Similar events were occurring in other universes as well.

Especially in the universe managed by the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Vermoud.

They were also watching the battle between Beerus and the individual opposite him in Universe 7 through their staff.

"It seems a powerful warrior has appeared in Universe 7, and he poses no small threat to us!" Vermoud remarked.

Beside him, the Angel Marcarita said: "That is so, dear. He is even stronger than Jiren from our own universe."

Upon hearing this, the clown-like God of Destruction's expression immediately darkened. He did not wish for other universes to have such a powerful warrior, especially one possessing strength that could rival a God of Destruction. (Vermoud, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, remained as petty as he was in the original work.)
