At the center of the battlefield, Qin Feng and Champa clashed once more.
Two raging currents of energy, one red and one purple, collided violently in space.
The more Qin Feng fought, the more smoothly everything came to him. He felt as if his blood were about to boil.
Every heavy punch he threw carried tremendous force.
The Super Saiyan 4 form was inherently stable, with excellent stamina and seemingly endless reserves.
And on top of that, his foundation was infinite energy!
He had no idea what fatigue even was.
The two traded blows head-on for a full ten minutes before finally pulling apart.
"Huff... huff..."
Champa hunched over, panting heavily.
There was no denying that a God of Destruction was immensely powerful.
But the fat cat hadn't properly trained in hundreds of years. After such an intense battle of attrition, his stamina was seriously depleted.
By contrast, Qin Feng had stacked Tenfold Kaioken on top of Super Saiyan 4. He could face a God of Destruction head-on without being outmatched.
Even so, Qin Feng was exhausted too.
His energy might have been infinite, but fighting at such intensity without holding anything back still placed a heavy strain on his body. A fine sheen of sweat had already formed on his forehead.
"That dead fat cat's one tough nut to crack."
"He's lasted this long despite all that blubber. I'll give him that."
Qin Feng grumbled to himself.
"You wretched bug!"
"I can't believe a mortal has pushed me this far!"
Champa gritted his teeth, his fists clenched until his knuckles turned white.
Humiliation!
Utter humiliation!
He was the exalted God of Destruction, the supreme being who held the power of life and death over the entire universe!
"You piece of trash!"
"I'll admit, you've got some skill. You're strong enough to make me sick."
"But this farce ends here."
"I don't have time to keep wasting on you!"
Champa raised his head, his gaze icy as he let his murderous intent pour out without restraint.
At first, he really had wanted to beat the boy into submission with his fists, then slowly torture him to death and teach him what happened to those who challenged a God of Destruction.
But now, the boy's strength was too troublesome. Beating him in a fistfight seemed all but impossible.
And with his own stamina nearly gone, dragging this out any longer could make him lose through sheer carelessness.
So...
He'd just erase the boy with his ultimate technique.
It wouldn't be as satisfying, but it was better than embarrassing himself in front of everyone.
"Bragging again?"
"If you could really kill me, you'd have done it already. Why wait until now?"
Qin Feng smiled, unconcerned.
Of course he knew the God of Destruction's trump card was Hakai Energy.
But he wasn't worried in the slightest.
He had three uses of Hakai Energy at his disposal!
"Do you know why we're called Gods of Destruction?"
Champa bared his teeth in a cruel, bloodthirsty grin.
"Because..."
"We're gods who stand at the pinnacle of the universe! The life and death of all things rest on a whim of mine!"
"If I say you die, then you die!"
That was the God of Destruction's absolute law!
"Don't flatter yourself, you brainless fatso!"
"I told you already: in my eyes, gods are nothing special!"
Qin Feng couldn't stand Champa's smug, all-important attitude.
"You ignorant bug. You've certainly got a sharp tongue."
"Destruction!"
Champa's gaze turned cold, and he stopped wasting words.
Vmm!
A dazzling sphere of purple energy appeared in his palm.
It was compressed with pure death and destruction, enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Qin Feng knew that chilling sensation all too well.
He could use the same technique himself.
"Be reduced to ash, idiot!"
Champa roared and fired the Hakai Energy straight at Qin Feng.
"Destruction."
Qin Feng spoke calmly, without a hint of panic.
Vmm!
An equally dazzling sphere of purple energy gathered in his palm and shot directly toward Champa's attack.
Pop!
The two spheres of energy, each containing the law of destruction, collided without a sound or explosion.
They simply canceled each other out in the most bizarre fashion and vanished into nothingness.
"N-no way!"
"What's going on?!"
"How could this kid... know how to use Hakai Energy?!"
"Impossible!"
Champa's savage grin froze, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
His mind was thrown into turmoil!
Hakai Energy was the exclusive trump card of a God of Destruction!
No one else could use it—not even the Angels.
How could an ordinary mortal possibly master such a divine technique?!
"Oh?"
"He's mastered the Power of Destruction. What a wonderful surprise."
Vados, who had been watching the show, lost her composure too. Her alluring red lips parted slightly, her face full of astonishment.
This completely defied the laws of the universe!
"What's wrong, Champa?"
"Did you see a ghost?"
"Weren't you just insisting I was doomed?"
Looking at the dumbfounded Champa, Qin Feng taunted him. "Don't tell me you thought you could kill me with a technique anyone could use?"
Without Hakai Energy of his own, taking that attack head-on would indeed have been dangerous.
But now that they could both use it, neither could do anything to the other.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"You wretched bug! You can even use Hakai Energy!"
Champa roared furiously at the sky.
His proudest trump card had proved useless against a mortal.
It was as if the God of Destruction's dignity had been dragged through a latrine!
If word got out to the other universes, he'd become the biggest joke among the Gods of Destruction!
He had to tear the boy to pieces today to wash away this humiliation!
"Nothing is impossible. I told you already: you're a pretty watered-down God of Destruction."
"Don't be so surprised just yet."
"Soon... I'll show you what true despair looks like."
Qin Feng's voice was calm, yet radiated absolute confidence.
"You piece of trash! Die!"
Champa completely lost control and let out a thunderous roar.
Boom!
The purple divine aura around him surged wildly once more, even more violently than before.
His rage had drawn out the strength he'd been holding back.
"His power got stronger?" Qin Feng murmured, slightly surprised.
Even so, he didn't take it to heart.
Hoo...
Qin Feng let out a long breath. The golden light of Super Saiyan 4 and the red aura of Kaioken instantly faded from his body, returning him to his normal state!
"Giving up, bug?"
"Even if you get on your knees and beg now, I'm still going to skin you alive!"
Seeing Qin Feng return to normal, Champa assumed he'd surrendered and swung a heavy punch at him with a sneer.
"Give up? Is your head full of shit?"
Qin Feng's lips curled slightly.
Just as Champa's fist was about to land, Qin Feng's pupils abruptly turned a brilliant silver-gray!
Vmm!
A dreamlike silver-white aura instantly enveloped his body, and his black hair transformed into dazzling silver-white.
Facing Champa's unstoppable punch, Qin Feng merely shifted his body slightly—no more than a few inches—and dodged the attack perfectly.
Then, he casually threw a right punch.
The movement wasn't fast; it was almost graceful.
Thud!
The punch landed squarely on Champa's face.
Champa's massive body flew sideways as if struck by a speeding bullet train. Half his face swelled up like a risen dough bun.
"Hoo..."
Qin Feng's gaze was as still as an ancient well as he gently exhaled.
The silver-white aura swirling around him gradually sank into his body, vanishing completely.
At that moment, not a trace of energy leaked from him.
Only his silver hair and silver-gray eyes moved in the airless void, giving him a sacred aura, untouched by the mortal world.
"W-what?!"
"This is..."
"Ultra Instinct!!!"
Seeing the silver-haired Qin Feng, Champa and Vados cried out in unison, their voices cracking!
