"Oh? Is there someone even stronger than Gogito?"

Whis couldn't help but feel puzzled upon hearing Future Trunks' words.

"No, that was a fusion warrior created by Mr. Goku and Father using the Supreme Kai's Potara Earrings. He possessed overwhelming power, but because the strength was too great, he defused before long."

Future Trunks explained the origin of Vegito.

"I see. A super-warrior born from the fusion of the Supreme Kai's divine artifacts, the Potara Earrings."

Having cleared his confusion, Whis said nothing more and continued to watch the battle between Beerus and Gogito.

In the sky, Beerus and Gogito clashed fiercely. Every collision erupted with terrifying energy, obliterating everything in the surrounding area.

"Not bad, kid. This power is a significant improvement compared to before, but it's still not enough."

Beerus increased his output. Gogito, struggling to keep up, pushed his energy to the maximum to barely defend himself, yet he still took the occasional punch or kick, being unilaterally pummeled.

Before long, Gogito was sent flying backward yet again.

There was no helping it; as the versions updated, Beerus was also undergoing upgrades, with no end in sight.

Back during the Battle of Gods, when Super Saiyan God Goku fought Beerus, Whis claimed Beerus had used 70% of his power. Damn it, Whis, you big-eyed rascal—70% was correct, but the key was that the total was 100%!

Later, when Super Saiyan Blue appeared, Goku and Vegeta could finally contend with Beerus by joining forces.

After the Zamasu arc, Super Saiyan Blue Full Power Vegeta was beaten back to his base form by Beerus in just a few moves; Beerus had upgraded once again.

After the Tournament of Power, Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Vegeta was hung up and beaten by Beerus again, with Beerus crushing him using only his feet.

To this day, the true extent of Beerus's strength remains a mystery.

Beerus had played enough and didn't want to continue. This time, he intended to ensure Gogito couldn't stand back up. He raised his hand above his head, and in an instant, a massive energy sphere manifested in his palm. As Beerus continued to pour energy into it, the sphere grew larger and larger. Then, with a forceful swing, Beerus sent the energy sphere hurtling toward Gogito.

"Lord Beerus is doing this—isn't he worried that Mr. Gogito might absorb his energy again?"

Future Trunks asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Gogito's body reached its limit when he absorbed Lord Beerus's Hakai Energy last time; he has no way to absorb it again."

An expert like Whis could see the problem at a glance.

Gogito caught the energy sphere with both hands. This time, Beerus was using much greater power, and Gogito was likely to suffer severe injuries.

The moment Gogito made contact with the sphere, he was driven straight into the ground. The energy sphere detonated instantly, and Gogito's figure was swallowed by the terrifying energy.

At that very moment, Whis and Beerus seemed to notice something.

"Hmm?"

As the smoke cleared, Gogito was still standing, though he was at the end of his rope and immediately collapsed, losing consciousness.

That's right—at the final moment, Gogito had utilized God Ki. Normally, Gogito shouldn't have been able to use God Ki in his Super Saiyan 4 form, but after absorbing Beerus's Hakai Energy, his understanding of God Ki had deepened. Combined with the invincible talent the system had rewarded Vegito with, he had barely managed to use it in the final second. However, Gogito had overestimated himself; his body couldn't handle it. If not for the durability of the Super Saiyan 4 form, he likely would have perished. Most of the damage Gogito sustained at the end was caused by the forced use of God Ki, as the majority of the explosion's energy had been blocked.

Super Saiyan Blue is merely the Super Saiyan form utilizing God Ki; for Gogito to use it in Super Saiyan 4 form, it was a miracle he didn't drop dead on the spot.

Whis immediately arrived at Gogito's side to heal him.

Once the treatment was finished, Gogito stood up.

"Whoa, I really thought I was a goner that time!"

At the last moment, the instant Gogito used the God Ki, he felt that something was wrong and that he might be finished.

"That was truly spectacular! The contest between Gogito and Lord Beerus—I didn't expect Mr. Gogito to have mastered God Ki as well."

Whis gave Gogito high praise.

"That power you used at the end was interesting. If you can master it completely, you might barely qualify as my opponent."

Beerus maintained his usual tsundere attitude, then extended his hand.

"?"

Gogito looked confused.

"Damn it, you promised to bring me delicious food!"

Beerus looked like he wanted to beat Gogito up all over again.

"Ahaha, sorry, Lord Beerus, I'll get it for you right now."

Gogito remembered what he had said before the fight started and spoke to Future Trunks.

"Trunks, take that out."

Future Trunks pulled a box of capsules from his chest, took one out, pressed it, and tossed it aside.

"Bang!"

A massive warehouse appeared, filled entirely with instant food. Gogito opened the door, walked inside, grabbed a box of instant noodles, distributed a cup to everyone, and then explained how to prepare them to Beerus and Whis.

In Beerus's dining room, the five of them sat at the table, waiting for the noodles to be ready. As for the warehouse Future Trunks had brought, Beerus had thoroughly looted it before returning it to him.

When the time was up, Beerus couldn't wait to peel back the lid. The aroma of the noodles wafted out, and Beerus leaned in to sniff.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Beerus picked up his fork and took his first bite.

"Mmm~ This is absolutely delicious!!!"

Beerus's eyes lit up as he devoured the instant noodles frantically—one cup, two cups—and he didn't stop until he had finished six.

What is there to do after a full meal?

Naturally, it was time to sleep. Beerus returned to his small bed and began to doze off.

Whis, meanwhile, began to instruct Gogito and the others.

"Having witnessed the battle between Mr. Gogito and Lord Beerus, I have a clear grasp of Mr. Gogito's current strength. Mr. Gogito's foundation is excellent, and there are no wasted movements in his combat; he is already perfect."

Gogito had trained on Planet Yardrat for half a year, and his realm had reached its peak. Unless he learned the realm of the gods, it would be difficult to improve further; he could only rely on the accumulation of time to gain insights. However, this would take a very long time, even with Gogito's peerless talent. Master Roshi had reached a very high realm through the accumulation of time, and without any guidance, he had touched the threshold of Ultra Instinct. Although it was the crudest stage, it was still incredibly impressive; if Master Roshi could utilize the power of a god, he would likely be able to master Ultra Instinct.

Perhaps only Master Roshi could rival Gogito in terms of realm at this moment. If they possessed the same level of power, Gogito might not be a match for Master Roshi, though it certainly wouldn't be easy for Master Roshi to win either.

"As for the two Trunks, they are far behind, both in terms of power and realm."

Neither Trunks had undergone systematic training, nor did they possess heaven-defying talent, so they would have to learn slowly.

Whis then continued:

"It is truly commendable that Mr. Gogito was able to reach such a realm without any guidance. The realm is the most difficult thing to improve; by comparison, power is much easier to increase."
