At a Loss Against the Terrifying God of Destruction!

The might of the God of Destruction and the might of Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker spread rapidly, covering the entire frozen wasteland in the blink of an eye.

The ground trembled, and ice and snow filled the sky. Under the force of their powers, the terrain of the frozen wasteland was completely reshaped.

"Take this!!" When his energy reached its peak, a sharp light flashed through Son Goku's eyes, and the power of Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker erupted.

A scarlet aura enveloped Son Goku as he burst forward at full speed, becoming a streak of light that slammed into Beerus the God of Destruction.

Beerus the God of Destruction was unfazed by Son Goku's attack. His God of Destruction Power erupted, and a purple radiance covered his body as he collided with Son Goku.

Boom!!!!! The thunderous roar shook heaven and earth as the entire frozen wasteland was turned upside down.

Space collapsed and the earth twisted. Under the constantly expanding destructive energy, the temperature of the frozen wasteland rose rapidly.

Ice melted into droplets of water, which were then evaporated by the scorching heat.

The frozen wasteland was turning into a barren expanse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crimson and purple light blossomed through space, and within that light, Son Goku and Beerus began another round of combat.

After their previous exchanges, Son Goku's fighting instincts had been honed to their utmost.

He had now abandoned his old, conventional fighting style, entrusting both attack and defense entirely to his body's instincts.

His body attacked and defended on instinct, without the need to think. His speed, strength, and decisiveness had all improved greatly.

Beerus also noticed that something was different about Son Goku.

How did this kid suddenly get so much faster? Could he have mastered that?! Beerus the God of Destruction grew more and more astonished.

In his eyes, Son Goku's movements grew faster and more inscrutable, leaving him unable to discern a pattern.

The perfection of his attacks and defenses made Beerus increasingly certain that Son Goku had touched upon that realm.

A realm even the gods struggled to reach, the secret technique of the body moving on its own: Ultra Instinct!

Sensing that things were taking a bad turn, Beerus the God of Destruction instantly exerted himself, unleashing several times more power than before. He concentrated his God of Destruction Power in his fist and punched at Son Goku's face.

With his bodily instincts developed to one hundred percent, Son Goku instinctively crossed his arms to defend himself.

Bang!!!!! The power of the punch was terrifying beyond measure, shattering space and shaking heaven and earth.

Son Goku, in his red-haired Super Saiyan 4 state, was sent flying over a thousand meters by the blow. The huge fist marks on his arms gave off scorching heat.

"That felt great!" Feeling the sting in his arms, Son Goku's fighting spirit surged and his blood boiled.

The Saiyan blood in his body had been awakened, and he thoroughly enjoyed every second of the fight.

As a member of a warrior race, his power continued to rise throughout the battle, increasing at a rapid pace as he challenged his own limits again and again.

He had a feeling that if he kept fighting Beerus the God of Destruction, he would break through the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long and enter an entirely new realm!

"Kid, who's your master?!" After another attack was blocked, Beerus the God of Destruction asked sternly.

He had noticed that Son Goku possessed limitless potential. His power was increasing without end, and he had already begun to approach Beerus's realm.

Beerus didn't believe the kid had figured out how to perform that fluid sequence of movements in battle on his own. He must have been taught by an expert.

"My master? That's none of your business, God of Destruction."

"When you're fighting, you should give it your full attention. If you keep thinking about all that other nonsense, I might actually beat you, God of Destruction!"

Son Goku smiled teasingly. The power of his bloodline erupted like a torrent, and his aura, already strong enough to crush someone to death, rose once more.

A closer look would have revealed that the God Ki within Son Goku had grown stronger after their recent exchange.

"I see... I know your secret now..." Beerus the God of Destruction said, his expression shifting. He now knew what had caused the change in Son Goku.

As a warrior race, Saiyans were born to fight. That series of movements hadn't been the work of Ultra Instinct.

They were perfect movements made entirely by his body after its instincts had been developed to their utmost!

"What are you muttering to yourself about?!"

"10x Ka--me--ha--me--ha Wave!!!!"

The red-haired Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku quickly gathered all the energy in his body. A crimson beam of energy blasted from his palms and surged toward Beerus the God of Destruction with the force to split heaven and earth.

Watching the infinitely destructive 10x Kamehameha Wave draw closer, Beerus the God of Destruction's lips curled into a wicked smile, and his expression turned sinister.

At his command, God of Destruction Power surged out around him. Beerus spread his arms wide and shouted, "God of Destruction's Wrath!"

The next second, Destruction Energy erupted from Beerus's body, filling the sky as it shot off in multiple directions and scattered to every corner of the frozen wasteland.

The energy of the 10x Kamehameha Wave was canceled out by the erupting Destruction Energy, triggering a super explosion that swept across the globe. Scorching flames shot into the sky, reaching ten thousand meters high.

After the explosion ended, an enormous mushroom cloud towered into the clouds above the blast zone.

The entire frozen wasteland had been completely destroyed, reduced to a useless wasteland.

Whoosh!!

A hurricane swept past, sending sand and stones flying and clouds of dust billowing into the air. The enormous mushroom cloud that had towered into the sky also vanished without a trace.

At the center of the storm, Beerus the God of Destruction stood proudly where he was, chest out and hands behind his back, his face expressionless.

As the strongest God of Destruction, his power was unfathomable. Even though Son Goku was strong in his red-haired Super Saiyan 4 state, in Beerus's eyes, that was all there was to him.

"Boring. This is truly boring." Beerus the God of Destruction shook his head in disappointment, looking rather lonely at the top.

He had already seen Son Goku's limit. Even if Goku could continue to break through it, what of it?

He hadn't even used fifty percent of his power yet.

(P.S. This fifty percent isn't the power he used against Super Saiyan God Son Goku in the original story. It refers to Beerus the God of Destruction's true power.)

(Back then, Beerus told Son Goku he had used seventy percent of his power, but in reality, he hadn't even used thirty percent. He lied.)

Looking at the unscathed Beerus the God of Destruction, Son Goku quietly clenched his fists, a sense of helplessness rising within him.

He was far, far stronger now than he had been before his rebirth. Even against Omega Shenron, he could easily crush and kill him.

Yet now, facing Beerus the God of Destruction, he found himself at a loss. For the first time, he, a fighting genius, had no answer to a situation like this.
