As everyone gazed at the figure in the sky, the entire King Kai's Planet fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with incomprehensible astonishment.
because...
They could no longer sense Turles's presence at all!
"That's really impressive..."
Son Goku scratched his head, breaking the suffocating silence.
He looked up, his eyes filled not with fear, but with pure, martial arts-obsessed wonder and curiosity.
"I can't sense my brother's aura, but he just gives off a very powerful, very strong feeling!"
Son Goku's intuitive remark sent a jolt through Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and the others around him.
Vegeta, standing on the outermost edge of the crowd, was already beyond comprehension.
His eyes were wide open.
What is this?!
Is this what they call the Super Saiyan God?
In mid-air.
Turles slowly closed his eyes, carefully sensing his current situation.
This is... the God Ki.
It is unlike any other power before.
This newfound power made Turles feel... abundant! Gentle!
Vast as the sea, yet calm and still.
But beneath this gentleness lies a hidden, absolute, and higher-level oppressive force that is difficult to fathom!
However, problems also arose.
With a thought, Turles tried to mobilize the power within his body in this state, attempting to transform into his " Limit Form ".
However, things didn't go as planned. Under the suppression of the God Ki, attempting to forcibly transform into the Limit Form would dissipate the God Ki...
It's as if ice and fire simply cannot coexist.
Turles opened his eyes and let out a long breath, somewhat helplessly.
In other words, he cannot continue to stack the " Limit Form " while in the " Super Saiyan God " state.
These two completely different paths of power, at least according to his current understanding, cannot be perfectly compatible.
Just then...
A figure gracefully ascended into the sky and arrived in front of Turles.
It's Merus.
He looked Turles up and down, offering his professional assessment.
"It seems my guess was right..."
Merus' deep eyes seemed to see through everything.
"This kind of God Ki, forcibly drawn into the body through a specific ritual, is not entirely compatible with your mortal body."
He paused, then went on to reveal the most crucial truth.
"Like water without a source, it will slowly drain away over time until you completely leave this state."
Upon hearing this, Turles lowered his head and clenched his fist.
He focused intently and sensed it carefully, and sure enough, he discovered that the crimson energy flowing through his limbs and bones was slowly dissipating at an extremely weak but undeniably present rate.
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems... that's indeed the case..."
"Then, let's do it now!"
Turles ' gaze suddenly locked onto Merus in front of him, and his calm red eyes instantly ignited with fighting spirit!
He shouted, "Come on, give it a try!"
This loud shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly causing the expressions of the onlookers below to vary.
Although Merus often appears with Turles, in reality, apart from knowing that he is a Galactic Patrol, no one else knows anything about him.
Krillin and Tien Shinhan exchanged a glance, their hearts simultaneously filled with turmoil.
For Turles to take this so seriously, even with such a challenging tone...
"Are we... are we going to fight?!"
Son Goku was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were fixed on the sky.
Vegeta, standing to the side, also temporarily suppressed his emotions.
Turles, against that mysterious Galactic Patrol!
This is clearly going to be an even more exciting show than Kakarot's fight with Piccolo!
Faced with Turles's boiling fighting spirit, Merus simply shrugged noncommittally.
That's tacit approval.
The moment he received a response, Turles's eyes narrowed sharply.
There are no unnecessary starting moves.
His figure seemed to have been wiped away from space by an invisible hand, disappearing into thin air.
He appeared directly in front of Merus and delivered a powerful punch straight at him.
The punches were fierce, even sparking dark red flames in the air.
Despite the attack that tore through space, Merus seemed completely at ease.
His steps were graceful, and his movements were agile.
It's easy to handle.
Crimson afterimages streaked across the air, leaving behind dazzling yet deadly trails.
No matter how swift or how tricky his attacks were, Merus always managed to evade them perfectly with the slightest movement and the most economical method.
Like a fallen leaf dancing in a storm, no matter how fierce the wind and rain, it remains completely dry.
The crowd below was completely dumbfounded.
"Amazing!"
Son Goku clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"That Galactic Patrol! My brother can't hit him at all!"
This remark broke the deathly silence of the scene and expressed the most direct feelings in everyone's hearts.
They had previously suspected that this Galactic Patrol named Merus had a complicated background...
But I didn't expect it to be this complicated!
The figures of Turles and Merus flickered faster and faster.
The sky was filled with blurry afterimages and muffled sonic booms.
Gradually, the people below, including Son Goku and Piccolo, could no longer keep up with their movements.
Only two orbs of light, one red and one white, remained before his eyes, frantically crisscrossing and colliding in the air.
What's even more unsettling is that they can't sense any energy emanating from the two of them at all.
This feeling is like becoming blind even when you're fully open.
Absolutely no spectator experience...
High in the sky.
Turles ' speed and power are still gradually increasing.
This is completely different from Turles ' all-out effort.
Merus calmly parried the storm of attacks with just one hand.
He even had the leisure to observe Turles's current physical condition.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Merus casually deflected Turles's whip kick.
"It seems I was too presumptuous..."
" God Ki is a higher-level form of energy, not a transformation..."
Upon hearing this, Turles roared in anger.
He suddenly closed in and unleashed an even more ferocious barrage of short-range strikes, each punch aimed directly at Merus's vital points.
With a light tap of his fingertips, like a dragonfly skimming the water, Merus deflected the power that was capable of piercing through everything.
His tone remained calm.
"But the mortal body seems unable to fully resonate with the God Ki..."
What you're exhibiting right now is more like a special state...
Merus shook his head with a hint of regret.
He instantly pulled back to create distance.
"However, you can try your best to feel it! Understand it! Even absorb it!"
"This might be helpful for your future cultivation!"
With each word of guidance from Merus, Turles ' speed increased!
He no longer focused on hitting Merus, but instead devoted all his attention to sensing and manipulating the crimson energy within his body.
boom--!
Turles's crimson aura suddenly surged!
Merus watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.
However, the ensuing consequences have also become increasingly apparent.
Under Turles's intense and rapid stimulation, the God Ki began to dissipate even more rapidly.
The dazzling crimson light on his body began to flicker...
