Time Is Up, Despair Returns!

The angels of the Twelve Universes acted at the same time.

They unleashed their angelic power to envelop their respective universes and protect them from the impact of the forces.

Although some angels and Gods of Destruction were still in the dark, they all wore the same look of surprise when they traced the source of the terrifying energy eruption.

They saw something that should have been utterly impossible.

Beerus, Universe 7's God of Destruction, was fighting a rogue god whose name they didn't know.

The sheer magnitude of their battle was so great that it even affected the universes where they were.

The entire World of Void was also on the verge of collapse under that terrifying power.

Now, the two fighters' ultimate attacks remained locked in a stalemate, having reached a point of balance.

Every muscle in Super Saiyan 4 God Blue Gogeta's body was taut, veins bulging beneath his skin. He looked as fierce and terrifying as a bloodthirsty asura.

He was releasing his bloodline power and God Ki beyond their limits, and he himself had reached the absolute limit.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!!" Gogeta burst into a laugh of utter exhilaration.

It was the truest expression of what he felt. In this battle, he had given his all, used every means at his disposal, and shown every fighting method he had.

He had no regrets left.

"Brat!!! I'd like to see how much longer you can hold on!!" Hearing Gogeta's hearty laughter, Beerus took it as a provocation.

The pressure Gogeta had put on him allowed him, a God of Destruction, to take another step forward at that moment.

His God of Destruction Power rose once more, and the Ultimate Destruction Sphere grew to the size of a star.

As the Ultimate Destruction Sphere expanded again, Gogeta's two-thousandfold Big Bang Kamehameha was forcibly pushed back.

The pressure surged once more, and Gogeta's expression changed drastically, terror appearing on his face.

"Don't think I'll go down that easily!!!" Gogeta's face twisted fiercely as his muscles swelled and a bloody, menacing aura coiled around him.

In an instant, he burned his own vital blood to gain tremendous power.

"Tenfold!!! Kaioken!!!!" With a piercing shout, Gogeta forcibly activated the Tenfold Kaioken.

His power exploded once more, and the two-thousandfold Big Bang Kamehameha swelled again, pushing the Ultimate Destruction Sphere back with utterly terrifying force.

"What??!!!" The massive blast was pushed back, and Beerus's expression changed drastically. He could only grit his teeth and pour more God of Destruction Power into the Ultimate Destruction Sphere to resist Gogeta's energy attack.

The two sides fell into a stalemate once again, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Instead, this empty World of Void had reached the brink of collapse under the eruption of their absolute power.

I can't drag this out any longer. Gogeta knew full well how terrible his physical condition was. After repeatedly surpassing his limits and releasing his power, his stamina was nearly exhausted.

Only the strength of his conviction had allowed him to force himself to hold on this long.

He couldn't maintain the Tenfold Kaioken stacked on top of Super Saiyan 4 God Blue for long.

But that was already the limit of what he could currently withstand. If he increased the multiplier on his energy any further, his body would probably be unable to take it and explode on the spot.

But now, he couldn't afford to worry about that.

He didn't want to lose.

"This is my last... Twentyfold Kaioken!!!!" Gogeta shouted, staking everything on this one gamble and pouring all his hopes into this moment.

Boom!!!!! With the release of the Twentyfold Kaioken, the terrifying Big Bang Kamehameha grew immensely stronger.

Gogeta's ultimate attack violently drove back the star-sized Ultimate Destruction Sphere.

"You've got to be kidding!! Stop right there!!!" Feeling an unimaginable force bearing down on him, Beerus, who had already reached his limit, roused himself to resist once more.

As a God of Destruction, he had his own pride and his own convictions.

Moreover, he bore an enormous burden. He represented not only himself, but the honor of all Gods of Destruction.

As the strongest God of Destruction, Beerus had his own pride and arrogance. Once he lost, it would mean the myth of the Gods of Destruction's invincibility had been shattered.

Gods of Destruction would no longer be invincible.

As both sides' energy increased once more, space in the World of Void collapsed. The pitch-black world twisted, chaos was obliterated, and explosions continued without end. As far as the eye could see, fragments of space spread through the void.

The entire World of Void was being squeezed by two terrifying forces and had reached the brink of collapse.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!" Victory was right before him. Gogeta unleashed every ounce of his explosive power, determined to suppress Beerus the God of Destruction in one fell swoop, no matter the cost.

But just as victory beckoned to him, something unexpected happened.

Thirty minutes had passed since the fighting began...

That also meant Gogeta's time was up.

"This is bad!!" A powerful sensation of separation came from within his body, and Gogeta immediately realized something was wrong. He knew his time was up.

He had been about to win, yet at this very moment, fate had played an enormous joke on him.

Hum~~!!!

A flash of white light appeared, and Super Saiyan 4 God Blue Gogeta vanished. In his place were Son Goku in Super Saiyan 4: God State and Vegeta at the peak of Black-Haired Super Saiyan 4.

With no energy being supplied to it, the incomparably terrifying, colossal Kamehameha was completely obliterated by the Ultimate Destruction Sphere.

All the pressure before him suddenly vanished, and the abrupt change took Beerus the God of Destruction by surprise.

But when he saw Son Goku and Vegeta staring at each other in the chaos, he understood what had happened.

"The Metamoran Fusion Technique only lasts half an hour?"

"What a shame."

Disappointment appeared in Beerus's eyes. He had been unable to determine a victor with the formidable opponent from the prophecy.

His long-cherished wish had not been fulfilled, so all that remained was destruction.

With a thought, he locked the Ultimate Destruction Sphere onto the distant figures of Son Goku and Vegeta. It continued forward, bearing down on the two of them with overwhelming force to destroy them.

"Damn it!! The fusion's time is already up!!" Vegeta's heart trembled violently. As he watched the Ultimate Destruction Sphere advancing toward them, his heart sank into despair.

That boundless God of Destruction Power was enough to destroy everything in the present world and could even melt the entire universe in an instant.

If it were Gogeta, he might have had a way to stop it, but relying on themselves alone... they really couldn't.

"I can't sense any energy outside, so I can't use Instant Transmission."

"There's no way we can dodge this attack. Are you afraid to die, Vegeta?"

Facing the Ultimate Destruction Sphere bearing down on him, Son Goku spoke with a succession of bitter smiles.
