Silver-White and Purple

Each flash of light was like the world was about to collapse.

Silver-white and purple took turns ruling that stretch of space, turning the entire area into a deadly forbidden zone where even the laws of reality had failed.

The edges of the shockwaves were as sharp as cosmic scythes. What they sliced through was not an explosion, but as though invisible giant hands were tearing away layer after layer of land, stripping it clean.

Rock strata kilometers thick made their final struggle before turning to powder, becoming towering waves of dust that blotted out the sky.

Countless boulders were hurled into the sky, only for the next ripple of energy to sweep over them and turn them into streams of primordial particles in an instant, without even a sound.

The atmosphere ignited, oxygen was nearly depleted in an instant, and all that remained was a searing hell filled with nitrogen oxides and ionizing radiation.

On the observation platform, Whis and Vados no longer wore relaxed expressions.

The two stepped half a pace forward in unspoken accord and slammed their staffs heavily against the ground. "Bzzz—!" A dense angelic barrier sprang open at once, like a giant transparent glass bowl covering the entire area.

But the instant the destructive shockwaves struck the barrier, the dense chorus of cracking sounds made their teeth ache.

Light flashed wildly as cracks spread outward from the impact point. They were as thin as hairs, yet terrifying enough that the entire barrier looked ready to shatter like tempered glass.

Inside the barrier, Qi Heng let out a low roar.

Every muscle in his body trembled at high frequency. In his Super 5 form, his silver hair stood on end strand by strand, his aura burned even fiercer, and it had begun to flicker unstably.

He forced every ounce of potential from within his body, silver energy surging wildly into the distant silver-white energy sphere like a flood bursting through a dam.

He could feel every cell in his body crying out. The burden of surpassing his limits brought tearing agony—but his fighting spirit only blazed hotter.

Across from him, Beerus's formerly teasing, lazy expression vanished, completely replaced by focus and seriousness.

He gave a soft "Hm?" as the muscles in his right arm tensed and his five fingers slowly curled inward.

With that motion, the purple energy sphere abruptly contracted, then erupted even more violently, swallowing the silver-white light at a suddenly accelerated rate.

He could clearly sense that Qi Heng's power was breaking through some kind of boundary. Its intensity was no longer something even a God of Destruction could treat as a joke.

"Interesting..." Beerus muttered, the curve of his lips rising further into a genuine smile filled with madness and excitement. "Truly... very interesting!"

The stalemate reached its peak.

Silver-white lightning and purple destruction tangled fiercely together, their boundary emitting a piercing "sizzle." Every spark of energy that splashed out could vaporize an entire mountain range.

The two forces pushed against each other, neither able to advance another inch, forming a brief yet horrifying dynamic equilibrium.

Two utterly different powers, each sufficient to shake the foundations of the universe, performed a silent symphony of destruction and defiance in this forgotten void.

Deep within the starry sky of Universe 7, eternal darkness was torn open by violent energy, leaving pale-white and deep-purple scars.

The collapse of the God of Destruction Realm was merely the prelude to the cataclysm.

When the silver-white aura and purple radiance simultaneously broke through that indescribable threshold, the sacred realm met its destined end.

The indigo ground, etched with ancient patterns, groaned first. Then, like a glass mirror struck by a colossal hammer, cracks spread wildly across it, filling the field of vision in the blink of an eye.

Towering conical stone pillars silently disintegrated amid the turbulence. They did not break apart, but collapsed at the most fundamental particle level, turning into flickering motes of dust that rapidly faded away.

The sky's canopy, once filled with gentle divine radiance, was now covered in spiderweb-like cracks. Behind those cracks was not a stable dimension, but violent, chaotic space-time turbulence.

At last, a soundless roar swept through everything. The energy tremors acted directly upon the soul, and the entire God of Destruction Realm collapsed like a sandcastle stripped of its foundation, shattering into countless fragments that were swept up by the energy storm and flung into the cold, empty depths of space.

Whis, the guide who was always composed, swung his staff in the final second before the realm was completely annihilated.

A gentle yet irresistible blue glow enveloped all the spectators. Spatial ripples surged, instantly transporting them out of the deadly forbidden zone.

They landed in an unfamiliar quadrant of the universe.

Beneath their feet was vacuum. In the distance, a river of stars stretched across a black velvet backdrop like a brilliant ribbon flowing with billions of tons of diamond dust.

Several grayish-brown, lifeless planets rotated slowly nearby, like enormous dead eyes.

At the edge of the starfield, an azure planet floated quietly, turning gracefully along its eternal orbit.

That patch of blue was familiar yet distant—upon it were bustling cities, azure oceans, rolling mountain ranges, and the trivial yet precious everyday breaths of countless living beings, all utterly unaware.

Its peaceful vitality stood in sharp contrast to the scene of destruction about to unfold before them.

But no one had time to marvel at the universe's tranquility, because on this new stage, Qi Heng and Beerus's battle had already transformed several light-years in every direction into a hell of rampaging energy and collapsing laws.

"BOOM—!!!" It was not a sound, but a horrifying shockwave born from the collision of pure energy, striking directly at the structure of space and the soul.

Qi Heng's right fist was wrapped in silver-white aura boiling at its absolute limit. His muscles bulged, every fiber bursting with power beyond its limits, as it collided fiercely in the void with Beerus's seemingly casual left palm, wreathed in deep purple destructive energy!

At the point of impact, a miniature silver-and-purple energy singularity was born. Immediately afterward, a ring-shaped shockwave spread outward wildly at faster-than-light speed.

Where its crest passed, interstellar dust, tiny celestial bodies, thin gas clouds... all matter was completely vaporized and ionized upon contact, reduced to the most fundamental energy.

An iron-nickel asteroid several hundred kilometers in diameter happened to be at the edge of the shockwave. Before it could even resist, it was caught like a fragile ball of clay in an invisible giant hand. Amid a piercing "creak," it was torn apart and crushed, its rocky body breaking into countless fragments. Those fragments were then ground down further in the energy storm, finally becoming a cloud of cosmic dust haze that rapidly dispersed.

Centered on the point of impact, stars within several light-years—regardless of distance—flickered violently, as if trembling in fear.

Space became viscous and chaotic. The threads of gravity were violently torn apart, then crudely stitched back together at random.

Qi Heng's body was violently forced backward by the recoil. His feet plowed two long trails through the void, leaving behind silver-white aura, and he slid back several hundred meters before barely managing to stabilize himself.
