God of Destruction Power

He could not even be bothered to take a fighting stance. He merely raised his right hand, slowly spreading his fingers.

A dot of deep-purple light suddenly lit up before his palm, and space faintly warped along with it.

As if alive, the light spun and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became a fist-sized vortex of energy, like a black hole that swallowed all the surrounding light.

The vortex made no sound, merely turning in silence.

At its edges, space cracked into fine fissures like shattered glass.

"Destruction."

His voice was not loud, as though he had casually uttered a word, yet it carried clearly through the roaring howl of the energy blasts.

The next second, the emerald-green barrage capable of destroying a galaxy crashed head-on into the purple vortex.

Everyone expected an earth-shattering explosion, space itself to be torn apart, but nothing happened.

The hundreds of violent energy blasts vanished soundlessly the moment they touched the vortex's edge, like red-hot iron balls dropped into freezing water, like colorful soap bubbles meeting a sharp needle.

The emerald light, the violent energy fluctuations, the searing heat, the force of impact... everything that constituted the energy blasts' "existence" was directly "erased" by some higher power the instant it came into contact with the purple vortex.

As if they had never been gathered, never been fired, had never even existed.

Only the scorching air, churned up by the energy blasts and gradually settling, remained to remind them that something had happened here.

Broly's pupils shrank to pinpricks, and for the first time, an incredulous shock appeared on his face.

What he sensed was not his energy being neutralized or defeated, but absolute "nothingness."

The energy he had unleashed, enough to fill an ocean, had met that vortex like a drop of water falling into a desert. Nothing remained—not even the slightest ripple.

This was the power of a God of Destruction—not an exchange of energy, not the breaking of techniques, but a direct touch upon the laws of the universe, "destroying" and "erasing" any target from the very level of "existence."

Before this power, no matter how immense or violent the accumulated energy was, it was nothing more than a sandcastle before a tsunami, rendered meaningless in an instant.

"Your energy is indeed impressive. You're practically a monster."

Beerus's voice came from behind the shrinking vortex. He lowered his right hand, and the purple vortex silently dissipated.

"But your understanding of 'power' is still stuck at the most primitive, crudest stage. You think having a lot of energy makes you impressive? Before the power of a God of Destruction, the greater the energy, the more conspicuous the target."

Broly clenched his teeth so hard that blood seeped from his gums.

Beerus's words were like an icy needle, piercing the confidence in his own power that he had built over forty-one years of loneliness and madness.

He could not say a single word in rebuttal.

For forty-one years, he had been exiled in the hell known as Vampa. With the pain and rage brought by his Super Saiyan bloodline, he had accumulated enough energy to drive most of the universe's powerful warriors to despair.

But he had no teacher, no companions, and had never experienced a truly high-level battle.

His method of fighting relied entirely on instinct—whenever he sensed danger, he used even more violent energy to drown everything.

Techniques, strategy, the essence of energy? To him, they were complete blanks.

Yet the Saiyan pride and the undying fury in his blood instantly burned away all hesitation.

So what if he was crude? So what if his understanding was shallow? He possessed one pure advantage that no one else could match—the energy inside his body seemed connected to the very source of the universe's rage, nearly limitless!

"Then let's see—"

Broly suddenly raised his head, the last trace of reason completely swallowed by green madness.

He threw back his head and roared, his voice making the very earth tremble. "—whether you can erase all of my energy!"

BOOM—!!!

Like a dormant volcano erupting completely, like a supernova igniting upon the surface of a planet.

The bloodline of the Legendary Super Saiyan within Broly boiled, burning to its utmost limit! Emerald-green aura, ten or even a hundred times more intense than before, burst from every pore of his body. It no longer merely wrapped around him—it directly transformed him into a humanoid mass of green energy!

The aura shot into the sky, forming an enormous, ever-expanding and twisting pillar of energy more than a hundred meters in diameter, connecting heaven and earth! Within it, energy surged like liquid, unleashing deafening peals of thunder.

The entire sky of Vampa was stained with that bizarre, terrifying green. The clouds were torn apart and ionized, flashing with ominous arcs of electricity, as though the planet itself were wailing.

He spread his arms once more, his movements slow yet carrying the force to destroy heaven and earth.

As he moved, the surface of that pillar of light began to bulge and split apart.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand... thousands upon thousands of green energy blasts of varying sizes condensed densely around him, like children of destruction born from a mother's womb.

Those energy blasts did not remain still. Instead, they spun at high speed around Broly along complex trajectories, forming a breathtakingly spectacular ring of green energy!

The ring gradually expanded, making Broly look like a deity commanding stars of destruction—though one driven utterly mad.

The light from every energy blast reflected across his savage, fevered face.

"Meteor Shower!!!"

He screamed, nearly tearing his throat apart, and violently swung both arms forward!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—!!!

The ring of destruction formed from thousands of energy blasts was unleashed all at once.

No longer a scattered barrage, it became a green torrent several kilometers wide, composed purely of destructive energy! Like a breached Milky Way, like countless meteors falling at once, it poured down toward Beerus with the absolute resolve to destroy everything!

The radiance instantly swallowed every color between heaven and earth, even engulfing Broly's own figure in this self-destructive attack.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!

This time, the power of destruction could not erase everything instantly.

The torrent of energy was too dense, too immense, and it forcibly underwent a qualitative change.

Part of the energy detonated violently before it could be "destroyed." The explosions were deafening, their destructive roars blending into one continuous thunder.
