"If this is your full strength, then you should use your full strength to deal with me next."

"Although it's just like that, I'll give you this chance, seeing as you've worked so hard."

"As for whether you can satisfy me after I've given you this chance, that's not for me to decide; it depends on you."

Beerus looked at Son Goku and spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Son Goku appeared full of confidence.

In his view, Beerus was similar to Soya; although he was no match for him, he felt he should at least be able to hold his own in a brief exchange.

"Whoosh!"

Son Goku's figure flashed.

It had to be said that after transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, Son Goku's speed had indeed increased significantly.

"Your speed has improved quite a bit compared to before."

Beerus nodded, the interest in his eyes growing even deeper.

"Bang!"

Son Goku threw a punch, heading straight for Beerus.

However, no matter how much Son Goku changed after his transformation, his attacks failed to land on Beerus from start to finish.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing this, Son Goku revealed a look of shock.

"Lord Beerus, you keep dodging. If you do that, I'll never have the chance to witness your power."

Son Goku stopped his body and said to Beerus very seriously.

"You want to witness my power? Then I shall satisfy your curiosity!"

Beerus nodded, then raised his right hand.

However, he did not intend to use his entire hand to deal with Son Goku; such strength did not require him to do so.

"A single finger is enough to deal with you."

"To be precise, using this one finger is already me showing you respect."

Beerus said, taking the opportunity to correct his own statement.

"Damn it!"

Son Goku's gaze turned sharp, staring fixedly at Beerus; he was being looked down upon again.

"Ah!"

A low roar escaped Son Goku's throat.

Under this roar, the power of Super Saiyan 3 erupted completely at this moment, condensing throughout Son Goku's entire body and transforming into a storm.

"Even though you are a God of Destruction, the consequences of looking down on me are very serious!"

Son Goku let out a loud roar, then his entire body flashed forward, rushing toward Beerus at extreme speed.

"Swish!"

"Swish, swish!!"

"Swish, swish, swish!!!"

Son Goku's figure was like lightning, launching a frantic assault as he closed in, hoping to shake Beerus with his most intense attacks.

"Too weak."

Although Beerus did not continue to dodge, just as he had said, he truly used only one finger to face Son Goku's storm-like attacks.

Furthermore, he appeared to be without the slightest effort, easily blocking all of Son Goku's attacks with the power of that single finger.

"Ka..."

After Son Goku threw another punch, he immediately put some distance between himself and Beerus.

The moment he created that distance, he placed his hands together at his right side.

"Me..."

The moment the second syllable fell, the power of Super Saiyan 3 poured madly into his hands, coalescing into a golden point of light.

"Interesting!"

Seeing Son Goku's movements, Beerus did not stop him but smiled instead; he wanted to see what kind of surprise Son Goku could bring him this time.

"Ha..."

Once the point of light appeared, it began to rapidly absorb the energy from its surroundings.

Taking Son Goku's power as the foundation, the points of light slowly expanded and coalesced into a sphere of light.

Once this sphere of light formed, an even more formidable power radiated from it. Under the pressure of this energy, the seawater roared incessantly, churning up massive waves that crashed toward them.

"Ha!"

The moment the fourth syllable fell, streaks of golden light immediately began to swirl across the surface of the sphere.

This golden radiance was a byproduct of Son Goku's power being so immense that it could no longer be contained, causing it to leak outward.

Visually, it was also far more striking.

"Me-ha!!!"

As the final syllable was uttered, Son Goku thrust both hands forward with all his might!

"BOOM!"

A colossal beam of light erupted, hurtling toward Beerus at blinding speed with unimaginable, devastating power.

Let's see how you handle this one!

Son Goku wore a smile, watching the scene unfold in silence.

He panted heavily, as this technique had drained a significant portion of his strength.

"Overestimating yourself!"

As the Kamehameha approached, Beerus did not dodge at all. On the contrary, he remained standing in place, choosing to ignore it entirely.

When the Kamehameha was a mere three inches from him, Beerus slowly raised a finger and tapped the air lightly.

"BOOM!"

It was a seemingly light and casual tap.

Yet, the moment that finger landed, the massive Kamehameha collapsed instantly, shattering without the slightest resistance.

"This..."

Son Goku's expression shifted drastically.

He was just about to charge forward.

But at that very moment, a sense of crisis that made his very soul tremble suddenly emerged.

Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, he immediately retreated.

In almost the blink of an eye, Son Goku had already backed away several yards, putting distance between himself and Beerus.

"Hmm?"

Beerus's gaze sharpened.

Son Goku, meanwhile, looked puzzled.

"I... I actually retreated!"

Son Goku muttered to himself.

That split-second sensation had forced his body to recoil by such a distance.

It was a purely subconscious reaction, executed without a single thought.

"It seems you truly are a fighting genius. Although you cannot perceive the aura of a god, you were able to retreat at the critical moment. Had you not backed away just now, you would have already lost—or perhaps, you would be dead."

Beerus spoke slowly.

"What?"

Son Goku was stunned; he clearly hadn't grasped the meaning behind Beerus's words yet.

"THUD!"

Just then, Beerus appeared silently right in front of him.

Beerus casually struck out with his right hand.

It was such a nonchalant motion, yet upon impact, it landed squarely on Son Goku's body.

A surge of immense power surged into Son Goku's core.

His body shuddered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly reverting to his base form. His aura flickered weakly, clearly indicating he had sustained severe injuries from that single blow.

However, as long as he wasn't dead, everything was still negotiable.

"Son Goku, you have lost. Now, according to our agreement, will you help me find the Super Saiyan God, or shall I let the Earth and the North Galaxy be destroyed? I am a very merciful person and will not force you. I will give you ten seconds to consider. If you cannot make a choice, then I shall make it for you!"

Beerus looked at Son Goku as he spoke, his tone perfectly level, revealing neither joy nor anger.
