Transcendent Awakening

Beerus stared at Broly, clearly sensing the change in his aura.

The emerald-green aura began to glimmer with an ominous golden light. At last, the corners of his mouth split into a grin, and he laughed like a madman, his entire face twisting into a savage expression.

"Now that's more like it!"

With a flick of his finger, a tiny purple Destruction Sphere silently tore through space and shot straight toward Broly.

Along its path, space rippled as if being corroded, as though even the void itself were being devoured by the thing.

The purple Destruction Sphere ripped through space, carrying a piercing hum and the stench of scorched air as it howled toward Broly.

Even Vampa's thin atmosphere was twisted and vaporized by it, leaving a long purple afterimage in its wake.

This attack was unlike any of the previous ones.

Beerus no longer compressed its power or controlled its trajectory. He had simply condensed the power of a God of Destruction into a sphere and thrown it directly at him.

Simple, brutal, direct—and precisely because of that, even more terrifying.

It was as if a purple star on the verge of explosion had been sealed inside the sphere of light. Its surface churned and boiled without end, releasing an aura of destruction that made the soul tremble.

Every hair on Broly's body stood on end.

His instincts screamed a frantic warning—the danger of this attack far surpassed everything before it combined.

Every cell in his body trembled, and his blood nearly froze.

If he did not go all out this time, he would die.

He would be erased by those pure laws of destruction, leaving not even the slightest trace behind.

But for a Saiyan, death had never been the end. It was the beginning of evolution.

"AAAAAAAH—"

Broly suddenly threw back his head. Veins bulged across his neck and temples like writhing earthworms.

He opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar.

That sound no longer resembled a human voice. It was more like the roar of some ancient beast breaking free from its chains.

With that roar, the long-dormant bloodline of the Legendary Super Saiyan within him erupted completely.

Rumble—

Centered on him, a ring of emerald-green energy burst outward.

The ground was peeled back layer by layer. Rocks and dust were swept into the sky, forming an ever-expanding ring of destruction.

The rock beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, collapsing into a massive crater over a hundred meters wide.

The power buried in the deepest reaches of his bloodline—the true power of the Legendary Super Saiyan—was like an ancient beast that had slept for hundreds of millions of years, slowly opening its cold, savage eyes at this moment.

Rip!

The emerald-green aura around Broly underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

It was no longer mere energy spilling outward. It became deeper, more violent, as though it had gained life.

The color of the aura rapidly shifted from bright emerald to a profound dark green, like the oldest jade within the abyss of the cosmos, radiating a chilling, unsettling glow.

The aura no longer merely enveloped him. It writhed and surged like a living thing, occasionally bursting with clusters of dark green lightning that crackled sharply.

His body underwent visible changes within that dark green aura.

His muscles swelled as though inflated, every fiber flooded with violent energy until they resembled forged alloy—hard and dense.

His chest broadened further, his back muscles spread like wings, and the circumference of his arms and thighs instantly expanded. His already damaged battle suit was stretched into strips of rags.

Pale green energy patterns surfaced across his skin, flickering in and out like breathing.

His hair also turned completely into a deep emerald green. It no longer stood upright strand by strand, instead flowing backward like burning green flames, with tiny motes of light trailing from the tips.

His face became more sharply defined as well, brimming with wildness.

His pupils contracted into pure, icy golden slits, while his irises became bottomless dark green vortices, as though they reflected the sight of stars being destroyed.

Most terrifying of all was that dreadful aura, sweeping across the entire planet like a tsunami and even shaking the universe!

"This... is already close to the level of a God of Destruction?"

Beerus narrowed his eyes. For the first time, a flicker of genuine surprise crossed his crimson pupils.

Hovering in midair, he felt the nearly tangible pressure bearing down on him and muttered in a low voice.

In terms of raw energy alone, Broly had already come infinitely close to those newly appointed or weaker Gods of Destruction from other universes.

Though he was still far beneath Beerus, an established God of Destruction who had existed for hundreds of millions of years, he could absolutely clash head-on with Toppo, captain of Universe 11's Pride Troopers, or even stronger opponents without falling behind.

"No—it's not just his energy."

Whis's voice came clearly from Vampa's orbit through divine power, carrying a rare note of gravity. "Lord Beerus, do you feel it? His aura is still rising, and it's getting faster and faster."

Of course Beerus felt it.

Broly's aura had not stopped rising just because his transformation was complete. Instead, it continued to surge at a speed that defied all reason.

With every passing second, the dark green aura around him grew fiercer, and the energy fluctuations became more intense.

It was as if an endless source of energy within him had begun erupting madly—or rather, some ancient seal had been completely shattered, allowing power accumulated over countless ages to burst forth freely.

"The bloodline of a monster..."

Beerus licked his lips, a sharp smile of shock, delight, and fighting spirit appearing on his purple face. "Interesting! This is far too interesting! Hahahahaha!"

As he laughed wildly, the purple sphere condensed from pure destructive power crossed the final few hundred meters, blasting toward Broly with the momentum to annihilate everything!

Space along its path cracked like glass.

Broly suddenly turned, his heterochromatic gold-and-green pupils locking tightly onto the incoming sphere of destruction.

He neither dodged nor retreated. He merely let out a low roar and raised his heavily muscled right arm, spreading his five fingers as his palm—seemingly capable of crushing stars—met the purple Destruction Sphere head-on, a force enough to make entire galaxies pale!

This time, he neither fired an energy blast to clash with it nor attempted to deflect it with an energy barrier. Instead, he chose the most primitive, most savage, most demonstrative method of all—using his newly transformed Legendary Super Saiyan body to take the God of Destruction's annihilating power head-on!

BOOM—!!!
