Beerus watched the direction in which Goku Black had vanished, his body trembling with rage. His purple aura burned wildly and uncontrollably, the surrounding space warping and distorting under the weight of his fury. Whis hurried forward to soothe him: "Lord Beerus, please calm your anger. If your wrath continues to spread, I fear this planet will be reduced to nothing in an instant."
Beerus forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart and turned to stare at Goku, his eyes filled with scrutiny: "You look just like that fellow. I shall see just how strong your Super Saiyan God can be, and whether you are worth me using even a fraction of my true power." Goku looked back at Beerus without a hint of fear; the Saiyan's warlike blood boiled and roared within him, every cell craving the battle. He clenched his fists, leaned his body slightly forward, and braced himself for the fight.
Seeing that Beerus intended to spar with Goku, Whis tapped his staff lightly against the ground. In an instant, the Earth was restored to its original state—the mountains became even more magnificent, the ground more solid, and the planet was imbued with the strength to withstand immense impact and destruction.
Beerus spoke again, his voice cold and merciless: "If you cannot satisfy me, I will destroy this planet all the same." Thinking of Goku Black's atrocities, Goku's inner rage burned even brighter. His gaze grew firm and focused, and he secretly vowed to give his all—not just to prove himself, but to protect this Earth that had only just regained its vitality.
Goku struck first. With a loud shout, his golden aura surged violently, and he shot toward Beerus like a bolt of lightning, his right fist carrying the force of a thousand tons toward Beerus's face. Beerus remained unhurried, dodging the strike with a slight tilt of his body before extending a finger to flick Goku's forehead. The seemingly casual motion contained immense power; Goku's body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through a mountain range before finally coming to a halt.
But Goku would not give up so easily. He quickly scrambled to his feet, his hands weaving through seals in front of his chest as he chanted: "Kamehameha!" A thick beam of blue energy erupted from his hands, shooting toward Beerus with the momentum to destroy everything in its path. Beerus curled his lips into a look of disdain and simply blew a breath of air; the blue energy wave instantly dissipated into nothingness, as if it had never existed at all.
Goku felt a jolt of shock, realizing that the enemy before him was far more powerful than he had imagined. Yet, he did not retreat in the slightest. His eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit as he began to calculate his next move, preparing to face an even more ferocious assault from Beerus.
Goku channeled the power of the Super Saiyan God within him, his energy rising step by step. A scorching red aura swirled around his body, his red hair dancing wildly, his eyes glowing like torches as he locked onto Beerus. Every muscle in his body was taut, veins bulging as if to declare his resolve to Beerus.
Beerus watched Goku with keen interest, arms crossed over his chest. A purple halo flickered around him, emitting a chilling pressure. He nodded slightly, seemingly appreciative of Goku's spirit, though his eyes remained filled with arrogance and contempt: "Interesting. Continue to show me what you are capable of."
Goku took a deep breath, let out a roar, and vanished from his spot. A moment later, he appeared above Beerus, legs pressed together, wrapped in golden light and red aura, crashing down upon Beerus like a collapsing mountain. The speed and power of this strike caused the surrounding air to emit a sharp, whistling shriek.
Beerus's lips curled slightly. He raised his right hand, palm upward, and effortlessly blocked Goku's fierce kick. In an instant, a powerful wave of energy rippled outward from the two of them, cracking the ground and sending fissures spreading into the distance like a spiderweb.
Goku performed a backflip to gain distance from Beerus. Immediately after, his hands moved in a blur, gathering two massive golden spheres of light. He slammed them together and pushed forward, a giant golden energy ball forming rapidly in his hands, wreathed in red lightning. Goku hurled the sphere at Beerus; as it flew, it grew larger and larger, causing the very space around it to ripple as if it intended to swallow everything in its path.
Beerus's eyes sharpened. With a flick of his hand, a purple energy shield appeared before him. When the golden energy ball struck the shield, a deafening roar erupted, the light so blinding that it was impossible to keep one's eyes open. The energy ball and the shield remained locked in a stalemate, the violent collision of power dragging everything nearby into a vortex of destruction—mountains were leveled, rivers evaporated, and the entire Earth trembled.
Suddenly, Beerus raised his hand and swept it forward. His purple aura surged, shattering the golden energy ball into dust. He then transformed into a streak of purple light, shooting toward Goku with his right fist clenched, striking at Goku's abdomen with enough power to destroy stars.
Goku had no time to dodge and could only channel all his energy into his midsection to take the blow head-on. The massive impact sent him flying backward, a spray of blood erupting from his mouth. Yet, his gaze remained steady, locked onto Beerus, his feet carving deep trenches into the ground before he finally managed to stabilize himself.
Goku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clenched his fists, once again drawing upon his inner power. The red aura around him flared even brighter, golden electricity crackling and hissing. He knew that Beerus's strength far exceeded his imagination, but the pride of a Saiyan would not allow him to retreat.
"Ha!" Goku let out a shout and launched himself at Beerus like an arrow from a bow. This time, his speed reached its limit, leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the air. He swung his fists, the wind whistling as he unleashed a storm of attacks on Beerus from every angle.
Beerus moved with fluid grace, dodging Goku's strikes with ease, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Is this all you have, Saiyan?" But Goku did not pause; his attacks grew sharper, every punch imbued with his obsession for battle and his understanding of power.
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Goku's eyes. He feinted a punch toward Beerus's head, but changed his move mid-swing, kicking toward Beerus's waist instead. Beerus was slightly startled and dodged to the side. Goku seized the opportunity to circle behind him, his hands quickly clasping together. A small energy ball formed instantly in his palms, which he then slammed toward Beerus's back.
Sensing the threat behind him, Beerus struck back with a palm, colliding with Goku's energy ball in a muffled explosion. Amidst the swirling smoke, Goku used the force of the blast to gain distance once more, his hands moving rapidly before his chest as he prepared to unleash a new technique.
