"My power has now reached 500 trillion after transforming into a Super Saiyan, a fiftyfold increase."
Soya murmured to himself as he calculated his current strength.
After emerging from seclusion, his power had surged even in his normal state, unlike Son Goku and the others, who had limits.
Even without transforming, his normal battle power had reached a terrifying 10 trillion.
But while 500 trillion sounded like a lot, it all depended on who his opponent was.
Ever since facing Beerus, Soya had known that 500 trillion would be completely useless against him.
That tiny amount of power wouldn't even attract Beerus's attention.
Even with Divine Power, he was still nowhere near Beerus's level. The gap between them was simply too vast.
But Soya was different from Son Goku. They were both Saiyans, but the biggest difference between them was that Son Goku lived for battle.
Most of Son Goku's life had revolved around fighting. He was especially excited to face opponents stronger than himself.
Soya was different. Although his Saiyan blood had begun to kindle a love of battle in him, he still had little confidence in fights he wasn't sure he could win.
He wouldn't go looking for death, inviting humiliation, or bringing hardship upon himself.
Those weren't things Soya would do.
Besides, this was only his Super Saiyan transformation.
For Soya, this was just the beginning. He was nowhere near finished, and he hadn't come close to reaching his limits!
In other words, if he could match Beerus with just his Super Saiyan form, he would find it dull himself.
"Now, let me show you my power!"
Soya clenched his fists, and the aura inside him erupted, surging wildly in an instant.
Golden energy enveloped him, rolling and churning.
Boom!
As his aura burst forth, even Beerus narrowed his eyes.
"Like Son Goku, you're transforming into a Super Saiyan 2?"
Beerus watched Soya quietly. He still remembered Son Goku's transformations.
From Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan 2, and then to Super Saiyan 3.
"Since someone as strong as Son Goku can do it, it makes sense that you can, too."
Beerus smiled and remained where he was, in no hurry to attack. He let Soya finish transforming.
Boom!
Golden energy poured out. The aura around Soya's body turned into a vaporous haze, and his hair stood up even more sharply.
At that moment, his power doubled, soaring from 500 trillion to 1,000 trillion.
Boom!
His terrifying aura spread, making the entire starry sky tremble.
His aura alone possessed such power. One could only imagine how formidable Soya had become.
"That's quite an increase."
Beerus's eyes flickered as he spoke, but he wasn't impressed.
"But I assume this isn't all the power you have.
You should be able to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 just like Son Goku, so go ahead and transform. My time is valuable!"
Beerus looked at Soya, entirely unconcerned.
A power of 1,000 trillion sounded impressive, but to Beerus, it was still weak. It didn't concern him in the slightest.
That strength might be enough to fight Beerus, but a fight without any real challenge wouldn't hold his interest.
So Beerus waited, waiting for Soya to transform into a Super Saiyan 3.
That way, fighting him would be more enjoyable.
"You want to see an even stronger transformation?"
Soya smiled and glanced at Beerus.
He knew that his current power of 1,000 trillion was nothing in front of Beerus.
But...
"If that's what you want to see, then I'll satisfy your curiosity."
A glint flashed in Soya's eyes. As a cold light appeared in his gaze, an even more powerful and ferocious force erupted from within him.
"Lord Beerus, watch closely."
Soya looked at Beerus calmly, his voice just as composed.
"The Super Saiyan 3 transformation you asked for is here!"
As soon as Soya finished speaking, an utterly terrifying power radiated from him.
The force was so overwhelming that a storm suddenly sprang up in the starry sky.
Amid the storm, Soya's aura began to surge wildly.
In an instant, his power more than doubled, rising from 1,000 trillion to 2,000 trillion.
But that was only the beginning.
As his aura swelled, the golden energy around him grew even denser.
Lightning crackled more intensely. Soya's eyebrows gradually vanished, and his face began to change.
As these changes took place, his power surged again, rising directly from 2,000 trillion to 3,000 trillion.
That alone would have been astounding.
But as his aura continued to swell, Soya's hair grew longer, rapidly extending over the next few seconds.
"Super Saiyan 3!"
Soya let out a roar, as if venting his emotions. After transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, his battle lust reached an unprecedented height, and he completed his final transformation.
After becoming a Super Saiyan 3, Soya's aura continued to surge with an unimaginable force.
It seemed to happen slowly, but in reality, it all took place in an instant.
In just three seconds, Soya had transformed into a Super Saiyan 3.
Power exploded from him—4,000 trillion—making him look like a war god bathed in golden light.
The confidence in his gaze was unmistakable. Anyone could see it plainly.
Because now, he finally had the strength to face Beerus head-on!
"Lord Beerus, this is my Super Saiyan 3 form. Are you satisfied?"
After transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, Soya looked at Beerus and spoke calmly, his expression barely changing.
Just like Son Goku after transforming into a Super Saiyan 3,
his eyes had become incredibly sharp, as if nothing could stand in his way.
"You're certainly strong, but you haven't exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I'm still a little disappointed."
Even with Soya's aura—equivalent to 4,000 trillion—bearing down on him, Beerus remained completely composed.
That calm wasn't an act.
It came from the strength he possessed!
