Transformation! Super Saiyan 3!

"Now that my strength has surged 50-fold after transforming into a Super Saiyan, it has reached 500 trillion."

Soya muttered to himself, calculating his current power.

Since emerging from seclusion, he had not been bound by the same limits as Son Goku and the others.

Consequently, his base strength had skyrocketed; even without transforming, his combat power in his normal state could reach a terrifying 10 trillion.

However, while 500 trillion sounded like a great deal, it all depended on who the opponent was.

Once his opponent was Beerus, Soya knew very well that 500 trillion in power would be of no use whatsoever.

Such a meager amount of strength wouldn't even warrant the slightest bit of attention from Beerus.

Even with the power of a god, he was still far from being a match for Beerus; the gap was simply too vast.

Yet Soya was different from Son Goku. Although both were Saiyans, the greatest difference between them was that Son Goku was a man obsessed with combat.

After all, Son Goku had spent most of his life focused on fighting, and he felt particularly excited when facing those stronger than himself.

Soya was different. While the influence of his Saiyan bloodline had made him grow fond of fighting as well, he lacked confidence in battles where he had no chance of winning.

Soya would never do something that amounted to seeking his own death, inviting humiliation, or asking for trouble.

But this was only the Super Saiyan transformation.

For Soya, this was just the beginning, far from the end; his strength had not yet reached its limit!

In other words, if he could stand on equal footing with Beerus as a mere Super Saiyan, even Soya himself would find it boring.

"Now, let me show you my power!"

Soya clenched his fists, and the aura within his body surged violently in that instant.

Golden waves of energy enveloped him, churning and rolling.

"Boom!"

Under the eruption of this aura, even Beerus narrowed his eyes.

"Just like Son Goku, a Super Saiyan 2 transformation?"

Beerus watched Soya quietly; he still remembered Son Goku's transformations.

From Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan 2, and then to Super Saiyan 3.

"It is quite normal that you can achieve what even someone with Son Goku's strength can do."

Beerus smiled and remained where he was, not rushing to strike, choosing to let Soya complete his transformation.

"Boom!"

Golden energy radiated outward, the aura around Soya's body turning into a mist, his hair standing even more upright.

At this very moment, Soya's aura doubled, jumping directly from 500 trillion to 1,000 trillion.

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura permeated the area, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.

The mere presence of this energy possessed such power; one could only imagine how terrifying Soya's strength was at this moment.

"You've improved quite a bit."

Beerus's eyes flashed as he spoke slowly, though he was not satisfied.

"But I don't think this is your full power. You should be able to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 just like Son Goku, so go ahead and do it. My time is precious!"

Beerus looked at Soya, completely unconcerned.

A power of 1,000 trillion sounded strong, but to Beerus, it was still very weak and did not warrant the slightest bit of his attention.

Although such power could allow one to exchange blows with Beerus, a battle that wasn't satisfying was destined to fail at sparking much interest in him.

Therefore, Beerus was waiting—waiting for Soya's Super Saiyan 3 transformation.

Only then would it be more fun for him to strike.

"You want to see an even stronger transformation?"

Soya smiled and glanced at Beerus.

He knew that his current strength of 1,000 trillion meant nothing in front of Beerus.

However...

"Since you wish to see it, I will satisfy your curiosity."

A sharp glint flashed in Soya's eyes. As a cold light emerged, an even more powerful and violent force erupted from within his body.

"Lord Beerus, watch closely."

Soya looked at Beerus with a calm gaze, his voice emerging with equal composure.

"The Super Saiyan 3 transformation you wanted, it's here!"

As Soya's words fell, a terrifying power instantly radiated from his entire being.

This power was so overwhelming that the moment it appeared, a storm erupted in the starry sky.

Under the force of this storm, Soya's aura surged wildly.

In just an instant, Soya's power more than doubled, jumping directly from 1,000 trillion to 2,000 trillion.

However, this was merely the beginning.

As his aura continued to skyrocket, the golden energy surrounding Soya's body grew even more intense.

As more sparks of electricity crackled, Soya's eyebrows gradually vanished, and his facial features underwent subtle changes.

As these changes took hold, Soya's strength surged once more in a frenzied manner, climbing directly from 2,000 trillion to 3,000 trillion.

If it had stopped there, it might have been enough.

Under the pressure of his rising aura, Soya's hair began to extend, growing significantly in just a few seconds.

"Super Saiyan 3!"

Soya let out a roar as if venting his emotions; after transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, his fighting spirit reached an unprecedented height, and he completed his final transformation at this very moment.

After becoming a Super Saiyan 3, Soya's aura boomed and surged in an unimaginable way.

Though it takes time to describe, all of this happened in an instant.

In a mere three seconds, Soya had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 3.

The eruption of 4,000 trillion in power made Soya appear like a god of war bathed in golden light.

This was especially clear in Soya's eyes, where the confidence radiating from him was displayed without the slightest concealment.

Because now, he finally possessed the strength to face Beerus head-on!

"Lord Beerus, this is my Super Saiyan 3. Are you satisfied?"

After completing the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, Soya looked at Beerus and spoke slowly, his expression showing little fluctuation.

It was just like when Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan 3.

His eyes had become incredibly sharp, as if he were disregarding everything in existence.

"It is indeed strong, but it does not exceed my expectations. To be honest, I am still a bit disappointed."

Despite being locked onto by Soya's aura, which was equivalent to 4,000 trillion, Beerus remained extremely calm.

This composure was not a facade.

It was backed by his own formidable strength!
