Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker!

With the addition of the purple energy ball, the Destruction Energy ball underwent a transformation. Strange light flickered around it as its energy rose to its peak!

The entire energy ball continued to swell, increasing tenfold from a hundred meters in diameter to a full kilometer!

The situation changed in an instant, and the scales of victory tipped in Beerus's favor.

The Destruction Energy ball transformed into a Super Destruction Energy Sphere, rapidly pushing Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku's 10x Kamehameha Wave back.

The 10x Kamehameha Wave was pushed back, giving Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku a bad feeling. Enormous pressure bore down on him, shattering the ice beneath his feet.

"This is bad!!! The energy of the 10x Kamehameha Wave can't stop it at all!" No matter how much more energy Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku poured into it, it was no use.

If that meteor-sized Super Destruction Energy Sphere hit him, the miserable fate awaiting him would be no joke.

An ordinary Super Saiyan 4 alone couldn't stop it. He had to bring out even greater power.

In a mere 0.5 seconds, the energy of the 10x Kamehameha Wave was completely destroyed. The Super Destruction Energy Sphere surged forward with overwhelming force, engulfing Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku in an instant.

Seeing this, Beerus the God of Destruction curled his lips slightly and placed his hands behind his back, looking utterly unfathomable.

As far as he was concerned, the battle had been decided.

"He was such a powerful warrior, yet he insisted on opposing a God of Destruction. What a shame." Beerus the God of Destruction regretted Son Goku's demise.

In a roundabout way, he had acknowledged Son Goku's strength. Though Son Goku was a mere mortal, he had let Beerus, a God of Destruction, experience the joy of battle. Even in death, he had no regrets.

Unfortunately, a god was a god, after all, far beyond anything a mortal could compare to.

"I remember there were other Saiyans on this planet. I wonder if the Super Saiyan God is among them." Beerus recalled that there were other Saiyans on the cruise ship.

Although they weren't as strong as Son Goku before him, perhaps the Super Saiyan God was hiding among them?

With a thought, Beerus slowly floated into the sky, intending to return to where the cruise ship had been.

The battle was settled. Unless a miracle happened, no one could turn it around.

Yet it was often at times like these that unimaginable things happened.

The advancing Super Destruction Energy Sphere seemed to be blocked by an even more overwhelming force, unable to move any farther.

"Where do you think you're going?" Son Goku's resolute voice rang out again.

"Hmm?" Sensing something amiss, Beerus raised an eyebrow and turned around in disbelief. The sight before him made his expression change dramatically, and he cried out, "What?! You actually stopped it?!"

Inside the Super Destruction Energy Sphere, an ancient and immensely powerful mortal power was growing explosively, rapidly rising to a higher level.

His Destruction Energy was also dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The kilometer-wide Super Destruction Energy Sphere kept shrinking until it vanished completely, neutralized by Son Goku from the inside out.

In its former position, Son Goku stood in an entirely new form, like an undefeated god of war.

Although he still looked like a Super Saiyan 4, his jet-black hair and pupils had turned a vivid red.

"Your form changed again? I see, this is your true power..." Beerus the God of Destruction brightened, but then he suddenly sensed something else, and his pupils contracted sharply.

God Ki! There was no mistaking it. The power Son Goku was giving off now was God Ki.

Although mortal power was dominant, there was no denying that this kid possessed the power of a god-and an extremely powerful God Ki at that!

Could it be...!! Beerus gradually became alert.

If his guess was right, Son Goku was the formidable opponent from his prophecy.

The legendary Super Saiyan God!

"The real battle starts now." Son Goku clenched his fists, and an aura like a coiling dragon swept around his body as his energy rose by leaps and bounds.

This form was called Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker!

Compared to the black-haired Super Saiyan 4, it wasn't just his aura that had risen to another level; the purity of his energy had also undergone an earth-shaking change.

(PS: From now on, Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker will be called Red-Haired Super Saiyan 4 for short, and ordinary Super Saiyan 4 will be called Black-Haired Super Saiyan 4.)

"I never expected a mortal to possess the power of a god."

"You should have brought out this power from the start."

Beerus the God of Destruction was growing excited too.

Although Son Goku in his Red-Haired Super Saiyan 4 form was still no match for him, this power was enough to let him have some fun.

Aboard the luxury cruise ship sailing on the sea.

The Z Fighters had no way to reach the battlefield after it changed locations, so Whis the Angel used the Angel Staff to project a live view of the battle.

Their hearts had leaped into their throats when they saw Son Goku swallowed by the Super Destruction Energy Sphere.

But when Son Goku appeared in an entirely new form, they saw hope again.

Some rejoiced while others despaired.

Vegeta, who had crawled out of the sea, stared blankly at the scene projected by the staff, his expression dazed. It was a tremendous shock to him.

What was this red-haired Super Saiyan 4?!

Damn you, Kakarot!! Just how much have you been hiding from me?!! Vegeta clenched his fists in bitter frustration.

He had thought he had caught up to Son Goku, not realizing that he had only caught up to the sight of his back.

But he wouldn't give up. If he did, he wouldn't be Vegeta.

In the frigid wasteland.

Red-Haired Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku and Beerus the God of Destruction faced each other once more. Neither spoke as they studied each other with piercing gazes.

"I never expected you to be this strong, God of Destruction. This is the first time I've met someone as strong as you." Son Goku grinned wildly, fighting spirit blazing in his crimson eyes.

"Kid, you're still hiding something, aren't you?!" A purple light flashed in Beerus the God of Destruction's eyes as he asked the question with utmost seriousness.

His keen perception had noticed something amiss. This form still wasn't Son Goku's final form.

Hearing this, Son Goku smiled without speaking, giving no definite answer.

"I'll take that as a yes. But it doesn't matter. This time, I won't hold back anymore."

"If you won't use your full power, then I'll force you to bring it out!"

As the words left his mouth, God of Destruction Power surged throughout Beerus's body.

Purple light became tangible flames that wreathed his body. The might of a God of Destruction spread rapidly, and a terrifying pressure surged outward like a tide, several times more fearsome than before.

"Good, I couldn't ask for more!" Son Goku smiled calmly and unleashed his power to oppose Beerus.
