God-Slaying Fist!

Soya's power surged like a fountain, rising frantically and reaching a terrifying level in an instant.

"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. You have plenty of time to display your full power."

Beerus looked at Soya and spoke slowly.

"Ah!"

With a low roar from Soya, the aura within his body continued to skyrocket with a thunderous boom.

Just two seconds later, his aura had increased several times over.

A storm roared incessantly, spreading wildly in all directions with Soya's body at its center.

The starry sky itself was trembling continuously.

Because the power radiating from Soya was so immense, even the void of space could barely withstand it at this moment.

After all, Soya had previously drained the entire power of the North Galaxy using the Heaven Origin Cannon, leaving the region incredibly hollow.

Under such circumstances, it was easy to understand why it couldn't bear the power erupting from Soya; there was nothing to be shocked about.

His aura surged madly.

A few more seconds passed, and Soya's aura rose significantly once again.

It skyrocketed directly from 600 trillion to 6 quadrillion.

Ten times—another full tenfold increase.

"Boom!"

After his aura increased tenfold, Soya reached the full power of Super Saiyan 4, hitting his absolute peak.

Especially after merging with the Divine Power, Soya exuded an extraordinary aura.

"6 quadrillion. Lord Beerus, this is my full power right now."

Soya looked at Beerus, his expression very serious.

Soya had done his best to reach this level.

This was the strongest power he could achieve for the time being.

However, he knew that even so, his current strength was still no match for Beerus.

Right now, he was only slightly stronger than a Super Saiyan God, and not yet as powerful as a Super Saiyan Blue.

But reaching this point was indeed Soya's limit; he had no way to improve further.

"6 quadrillion. Although it is still very weak, it is enough. To be honest, it exceeded my expectations."

Beerus looked at Soya, and he had to admit this much.

If this was all there was, he still had nothing to fear.

"Lord Beerus, come!"

Soya's figure flashed, heading straight for Beerus.

"Whoosh!"

In a flash, Soya arrived directly in front of Beerus, his speed too fast for the naked eye to track.

The moment he drew near, Soya did not hesitate; he raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and threw a fierce punch toward Beerus.

The impact of the strike was so overbearing that it made the patch of starry sky shake incessantly, as if it were on the verge of collapse.

"Bang!"

The punch headed straight for Beerus.

No sooner said than done.

Just as the punch was thrown and was only three inches away from Beerus, Beerus casually raised his right hand and swatted it away with ease.

"Bang!"

A roar echoed.

Soya's body shuddered, feeling an unimaginably massive force surge out from Beerus's hand and strike his own.

This power traveled straight up his arm and into his entire body.

It didn't just neutralize the force behind his punch; an even more overbearing power surged into his frame.

Even with Soya's current strength of 6 quadrillion, he was forced to retreat several steps, his body trembling violently under the impact.

"Such strong power. As expected of a God of Destruction."

Soya's gaze sharpened. As he shook his right hand to dissipate the lingering force, he looked at Beerus with a solemn expression.

"You aren't bad either. Even with only 6 quadrillion in strength, you were able to withstand that blow. It seems you have some tricks up your sleeve."

Beerus spoke with a hint of appreciation, as he had just utilized a portion of his God of Destruction power.

"But I am still no match for you, am I? I'm not even worthy of being your opponent, right, Lord Beerus?"

Soya said with a self-deprecating smile.

"After all, you are only human, and you haven't been cultivating for long. You still have a long way to go before you can surpass me; there is no need to give up on yourself now."

"You are mistaken. I haven't given up. It is just that, for now, I am not your match. But the next time we meet, I believe I will have earned the qualifications to be your opponent."

As soon as Soya finished speaking, the power within his body erupted. Six hundred jing of strength converged, transforming into a massive orb of light upon his fist.

"This is a technique I created myself. I have named it the God-Slaying Fist."

A resolute fighting spirit burned in Soya's eyes.

This was another technique he had comprehended during his seclusion.

Just as the name implied, Soya hoped that under this punch, even the gods would tremble!

"God-Slaying Fist—a very domineering name, but can you actually pull it off?"

A sharp glint flashed in Beerus's eyes. Despite his words, he was filled with anticipation.

After all, Soya had brought him far too many surprises today.

He had even made Beerus feel the thrill of battle, a sensation he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Whether I can pull it off is not for me to say, nor is it for you to decide. We will only know once we see the power of this punch."

After Soya finished speaking, all the remaining power in his body surged into his right fist.

"God-Slaying..."

Soya raised his right hand, and the power surrounding his fist instantly fused with it.

To the naked eye, there appeared to be no difference at all.

"...Fist!"

Soya let out a roar and threw his right hand forward.

"BOOM..."

As the punch was thrown, the starry sky trembled, and a massive phantom of a fist emerged.

This phantom was nearly tangible, and the power erupting from within it was terrifying to the extreme.

"BOOM..."

Once the fist phantom appeared, it surged directly toward Beerus.

"Mere parlor tricks. While it may look powerful, it is actually fragile and useless against me. Do you still not understand this?"

Beerus felt a hint of disappointment. He had expected to see some exquisite technique, but it seemed his expectations for Soya had been too high.

"Is that so?"

Soya offered no explanation, only a faint smile.

The final result would only be known once Beerus took the hit.

"BANG!"

Beerus raised his right hand and thrust a finger forward. His fingertip collided directly with the phantom of the God-Slaying Fist.

At the moment of contact, the God-Slaying Fist suddenly shuddered and collapsed instantly.

"I told you, a mere parlor trick!"

Beerus spoke dismissively.

But the moment those words left his lips, his expression suddenly shifted, as if he had sensed something.

He whipped his head around to look at his surroundings, and even Beerus couldn't help but have his pupils constrict.
