Super 5: Star Extinction

Qi Heng's breathing remained steady, but his silver eyes had already ignited with an even fiercer fighting spirit. Across from him, Beerus floated in the air, his purple skin giving off a faint glow. The usual lazy expression on his feline face had finally gained a rare trace of appreciation.

The vortex of energy between them continued to turn slowly, like a monster that never closed its eyes. In less than a second, they clashed four times. Each collision was like a star exploding—blinding flashes and deafening roars. Qi Heng's fists and Beerus's palms collided fiercely in midair, sending rings of energy rippling wildly outward and carving another deep ravine through the already shattered ground beneath them.

In the final clash, Qi Heng seemed to have been struck by a massive hammer, his body sliding uncontrollably backward. His feet dragged two charred trenches dozens of meters long across the ground as shattered stones and dust surged up like waves. Beerus, meanwhile, only stepped back three times, leaving three clear cracks beneath his feet as purple aura flickered gently around him.

"Not bad." Beerus's voice pierced through the aftershocks, low and openly approving. "Your speed... has kept up."

Qi Heng did not answer. He lowered his head, his chest heaving violently, the sound of his breathing especially clear across the battlefield. Silver-white aura blazed wildly around him, erupting like stellar winds and warping the air around him with heat. The Super Saiyan 5 form had given him immense power, but every bit of it was draining his stamina. A burning ache and emptiness rose from deep within his muscles. He knew he had to end this quickly.

Slowly, he raised both arms. As though drawn together by invisible hands, the silver-white aura stopped surging about and gathered entirely before his chest. He brought his palms together, and a dazzling point of silver light suddenly appeared. At first, it was no larger than a grain of rice, yet its fluctuations made hearts race. The light rapidly expanded as silver energy poured into it wildly, compressing and compressing again.

A silver-white energy sphere more than a meter in diameter formed between his palms. Its surface flowed like liquid metal, while countless miniature galaxies seemed to spin, live, and perish within it. The sphere grew larger and brighter until it resembled a miniature sun, bathing the entire dim battlefield in a ghastly white glow and nearly swallowing Qi Heng's figure.

Beerus's vertical pupils contracted slightly. The laziness and amusement vanished from his face, replaced by focus. He could sense that this silver-white energy sphere was not a simple accumulation of energy. It was every explosive ounce of power from the Super Saiyan 5 form, compressed to the absolute limit through unimaginable control. Every strand of silver light weighed as heavily as a mountain, and every rotation tugged at the stability of space. This was no ordinary energy blast—it was the core of a supernova about to erupt.

"Super 5: Star Extinction!" Qi Heng raised his head, silver flames surging in his eyes as his low shout rumbled like thunder. He thrust both palms forward with all his strength!

BOOM—!

That silver-white "sun" flew from his hands, instantly becoming a torrent of light that tore through heaven and earth. It did not fly straight ahead, but blasted forward along a destructive spiraling trajectory, trailing a long tail—not flames, but warped light and shattered black streaks left behind as space itself was scorched and melted by extreme energy.

Wherever the energy sphere passed, space shattered like glass, revealing deep, chaotic nothingness. The terrifying energy storm swept ahead of it, completely annihilating every boulder and speck of dust into fundamental particles. The might of destruction enveloped every direction Beerus could possibly evade toward.

Facing this attack powerful enough to pierce through stars, an excited, almost fanatical smile appeared at the corner of Beerus's mouth. He did not dodge. He merely raised his right arm calmly, spread his five fingers, and aimed them at the roaring silver torrent. Deep purple light gathered in his palm, darker and denser than the shadows in the deepest reaches of the universe. This was not aura—it was the origin of "destruction."

A fist-sized purple energy sphere formed above his palm. Compared to Qi Heng's dazzling Star Extinction, this small purple sphere seemed insignificant, the disparity in size immense. Yet at its core, light itself seemed to be swallowed, while space bent inward in an eerie curve. The energy density within it was absurdly high; its mere existence made the laws of matter around it tremble.

Beerus watched the silver radiance rush toward him and gently pushed out his right hand. "Destruction Sphere." The purple sphere left his hand soundlessly, flying toward that roaring silver sun.

Within the void, two utterly different energies began to converge. The silver-white aura around Qi Heng erupted like a supernova, every ray of light carrying the violent force to tear apart stars. The silver-white energy sphere between his palms spun violently, arcs of electricity bursting across its surface and scorching warped ripples into the surrounding space.

At the other end, Beerus remained calm, casually holding up his right hand. The deep, eerie purple energy above his palm pulsed and expanded as though alive. That purple was so dense it seemed to have devoured all light; merely looking at it made one's soul tremble. Countless dark fissures flickered in and out within the sphere—rules of pure "destruction."

There was no warning, no shout. Qi Heng thrust both arms forward, and the silver-white energy sphere transformed into a comet that sliced through the void, roaring forth with a long tail of light. Almost at the same time, Beerus flicked his wrist lightly, and the purple destructive energy slipped forth soundlessly, its trajectory elegant yet bearing absolute deathly stillness.

The next instant—two energy spheres containing completely opposite laws, yet each capable of erasing a galaxy, collided head-on in the void beyond the observation zone.

The anticipated earth-shaking boom did not come at once. At the instant of contact, time seemed to freeze. At the interface where the silver-white and purple energies pressed together, an incredibly tiny, incredibly dark black point appeared. Every sound, ray of light, and ripple of energy was swallowed by that black point. All things fell silent, leaving only the heart-chilling spread of nothingness.

The silence lasted perhaps one ten-thousandth of a second, perhaps an entire century.

Then—

"BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!"

An indescribable explosion finally erupted. It was not something heard by the ears, but a thunderous roar that exploded directly within the depths of every observer's soul!

With the collision point as its center, a circular shockwave mixed with silver-white fragments of light and purple streams of flame swept madly in every direction, through every dimension, at faster-than-light speed!

The center of the collision had already become a chaotic forbidden zone. Silver-white energy roared and surged like a violent ocean of lightning, trying to purify and annihilate everything; the purple destructive energy, meanwhile, was like a living swamp, endlessly writhing and expanding, corroding and dismantling even energy structures wherever it passed.

The two did not simply cancel each other out. Instead, in their extreme entanglement, they tore at, devoured, annihilated, and regenerated one another madly.
