Beerus's True Power: Were Mortals Destined to Be Inferior to Gods?!

Amid the deep purple light that radiated intense ill omen, Beerus the God of Destruction once again displayed his proud, invincible bearing.

Now, Beerus brought out his true power as a God of Destruction.

As the vast God of Destruction Power washed through him, all the injuries he had sustained in battle healed. The boundlessly powerful God of Destruction Power coursed through every cell in his body, repairing the injured parts and filling him completely.

Soon, Beerus the God of Destruction drew the vast divine might that could envelop the entire universe back into his body. Standing amidst the stars, Beerus the God of Destruction wore an impassive expression, but a chilling, terrifying killing intent flashed in his eyes.

His deep eyes, cold to the extreme and showing no trace of emotion, stared fixedly at Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.

"How many years has it been...? It's been a very, very long time since I showed the world my true power..."

"Even those fellows from the other universes aren't worthy of making me show what I can really do, yet a human has forced me this far."

"Even if I destroy you in the end, you can die without regrets."

Beerus the God of Destruction spoke with a proud look on his face, not the slightest flicker of emotion visible in his expression.

But Gogeta could sense that he had now brought out his true abilities.

As a God of Destruction, his greatest asset was not Ultra Instinct, the secret technique the angels used instinctively, but the God of Destruction Power he could wield at will, which could expand without limit.

In a sense, as long as Beerus the God of Destruction's will to destroy something was strong enough, his power would grow along with that will, without limit.

He could become as strong as he wanted!

"You've finally brought out your true power, Beerus the God of Destruction...!!" Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta's expression gradually grew serious as he studied Beerus the God of Destruction without taking his eyes off him.

A peculiar mist now shrouded Beerus, making him inscrutable and concealing the extent of his strength.

But one thing was certain: Beerus was extremely dangerous now.

One careless mistake would mean utter ruin.

"What you see now is only what I'm willing to show you. Don't think that having a little strength gives you the right to disregard a god."

"How could a mortal like you possibly fathom my power?"

Beerus the God of Destruction maintained his arrogant bearing, his words carrying an endless oppressive force that struck at Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta's mind.

Noticing Beerus's dismissive attitude, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta smiled wickedly and said dismissively, "You're really irritating, God of Destruction. I wonder how you'll feel after I defeat you?"

"A mortal will always be a mortal. Without becoming a god, you're nothing but an ant!" Beerus the God of Destruction declared in a grave, unquestionable tone.

"Are you so sure a mortal can't defeat a god?" Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta unleashed a terrifying aura, his power climbing rapidly as his tone grew grave.

Right now, he was only in the red-haired Super Saiyan 4: Limit Breaker state. He had even greater power that he had yet to bring out.

"Heh heh heh..." Beerus the God of Destruction gave a cold laugh as his destructive divine might surged to its absolute peak. His violent, terrifying God of Destruction Power bore down hard on Gogeta.

The power of their bloodlines and God of Destruction Power clashed once more, and the entire universe trembled under the impact of their auras.

Space visibly warped and twisted. Their powers seemed evenly matched, but in truth, Beerus's God of Destruction Power held a firm advantage.

Beerus the God of Destruction was truly terrifying when he showed what he could really do.

In an instant, Beerus the God of Destruction took the offensive.

His God of Destruction Power turned into peculiar energy particles that clung to his body, bringing his speed to an entirely new level.

"Hmph~~!!!" Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta snorted and threw a fierce punch at the oncoming Beerus, concentrating all his strength in his fist.

But just as his fist was about to touch Beerus, something incredible happened.

Beerus's body passed right through his fist.

"An afterimage?? No!!!" As his attack missed, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta immediately realized something was wrong.

The power of his bloodline surged within him, and he swiftly gathered energy around his body to form an indestructible protective barrier.

Beerus the God of Destruction's phantom passed through his body.

At that moment, everything in the universe fell still. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta stopped where he was, his face covered in shock.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... In the span of a breath, countless invisible attacks came at Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta from every direction.

In mere seconds, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta's protective barrier shattered. Wounds covered his muscular body as purple light burst forth.

The excruciating pain that erupted through his body made Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta's expression change drastically, his face twisting fiercely. Enduring the crushing pain, he forcibly swallowed the blood that had risen to his throat.

In an instant, his protective barrier had been shattered, and his body had suffered hundreds upon thousands of devastating blows.

If his body had not been strong enough, that attack from Beerus would likely have left nothing of him.

"Do you understand the gap between you and a god now? The difference between mortals and gods isn't just power." With one hand behind his back, Beerus turned around proudly and spoke coldly.

Hearing this, Gogeta gave a fierce grin and said disdainfully, "A painless attack like that doesn't prove anything."

The power of his bloodline awakened once more, releasing a pale pink light from within. His bloodline power and God Ki combined perfectly, forming an entirely new power.

Super Saiyan 4: God State!

With the emergence of this source of energy, the God of Destruction Power lingering inside his body was eradicated by this God Ki.

The wounds on his body all vanished at that moment, and his aura returned to its peak.

"Hmph~! So you've finally started using the power of a god?"

"But it's useless. Even if you can use a god's power, in my eyes, you're nothing but a false god-a slightly stronger mortal at best."

Beerus the God of Destruction taunted him with a wicked smile.

"Is that so?!" Gogeta's gaze shifted repeatedly. Unwilling to waste words, he gave Beerus his answer through action.

His aura surged as brilliant multicolored particles filled the air around him, and he attacked Beerus the God of Destruction like a phantom.

This was one of Gogeta's signature techniques, Punisher Drive. It let his body move unpredictably, and once it struck an opponent, he could unleash hundreds upon thousands of supremely deadly blows in an instant.

"A petty trick." Beerus dismissed it with contempt. His body faded from solid to insubstantial as he met Gogeta's Punisher Drive head-on.
