In the sky.
Lin Chuan caught up with Champa, rising slowly and facing him at the same altitude.
They continued ascending until they were nearly ten thousand meters above the ground. Only then did they mutually agree to stop.
"This will do. Come on, let this god stretch his muscles. Don't get taken out in one hit like that kid before," Champa boasted arrogantly.
He was overly confident, always holding himself in high regard. He couldn't imagine that Vados had restricted his power to Lin Chuan's level, making him no longer an unbeatable force to Lin Chuan.
Even if they were now on equal footing, what if he was still a god?
When pushed to the extreme, a mortal's power could still slay a god!
"Stop flattering yourself, Champa. To be honest, you're not much now," Lin Chuan said, his fighting spirit surging as he instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Golden flames roared like dragons, rising.
Even though he was only in Super Saiyan Full Power, Lin Chuan's battle power had already reached over 6.4 billion!
Of course, this was still not enough to go head-to-head with Champa; it was more of a warm-up exercise.
In Lin Chuan's eyes, Champa's battle power stabilised at an extreme value of 999.9 billion.
However, unlike before, this was not due to the system's detection limit but because this was the full power Champa could exert under the suppression of angelic power.
Hearing such arrogant words, Champa glared coldly. "Is this not the previous transformation? Hmph! You don't really think that just because my power is suppressed, you can defeat me, do you?"
"It doesn't have to be a god to be strong." Lin Chuan ignored Champa's notion that gods should be invincible.
"Then let me show you, even when suppressed, this god only needs to use ten per cent of his power to crush you." A pale purple energy emerged from Champa's body, enveloping his form.
The power of a God of Destruction was terrifying!
Even at billions, it was to be considered.
[Though I don't want to admit that gods are invincible and mortals can't compare, the gap between having divine power and not having it is vast.] Unwilling to accept, but it was the truth.
Otherwise, Lin Chuan wouldn't have always pursued the cultivation of divine power.
Without divine power, he could be invincible within the same realm.
But once he had divine power, he would be unstoppable, easily surpassing opponents.
As Champa finished gathering his divine power, he sneered at Lin Chuan's serious expression. "What's wrong? Are you scared? That would be too boring."
Champa's mocking tone and self-important posture, with hands on hips, displayed his strength.
However, he didn't realise this gave Lin Chuan a perfect opportunity.
In an instant, Lin Chuan used short-distance Instant Transmission, appearing right in front of Champa.
Lin Chuan threw a heavy punch at Champa's chubby face.
Hold back?
Impossible!
Champa was sent flying by Lin Chuan's punch.
That punch also woke Champa up.
"Sorry for not giving a heads-up. But since you left yourself wide open, it would've been wasteful not to strike." Teasing Champa in his way, Lin Chuan watched as Champa steadied himself, clutching his cheek.
The scene was particularly amusing.
The intense pain made Champa grit his teeth, his blood pressure soaring, and his anger flaring.
"You're so despicable! Fine! This god will soon show you that gods are not to be desecrated!" With those words, Champa unleashed his God of Destruction power.
In the next second, his plump figure closed in with a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
A close-quarters battle?!
Lin Chuan wouldn't back down!
He immediately exerted his full power, even drawing on his Super Saiyan 4 energy pool to enhance his strength.
The ever-regenerating life energy continuously flowed into his entire body, enabling him to exhibit even greater power.
'Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Champa's iron fist was exceedingly heavy.
Even though Lin Chuan blocked with all his might, he was still shaken.
However, despite being stunned, Lin Chuan managed to block the attack.
Immediately, a continuous series of punches and kicks clashed.
Each blow contained the power to shatter stars.
The terrifying battle storm created strange spatial ripples that spread outward.
[As expected of a God of Destruction! Even though Champa's power is suppressed to billions by the Angel, his physical strength is not something I can compare to right now. Indeed, I have to use Super Saiyan at least 4.] Lin Chuan calculated in his mind during the battle.
This calculation caused a momentary distraction, and Champa seized the opportunity.
"Fly away, Saiyan boy!" Champa sneered, dodging Lin Chuan's punches and kicks, then swung his arm and landed a punch on Lin Chuan's abdomen.
'Boom!!!!' Another explosion occurred.
Lin Chuan took the hit head-on, his entire body flying backwards.
Champa didn't pursue; he stood with one hand behind his back, and the other raised slightly, holding an incredibly terrifying energy sphere.
"This is the consequence of defying a god!" His authoritative voice declared, and the energy blasted out.
As Lin Chuan flew backwards, he felt the danger of death.
Although it wasn't very intense, he knew that if he couldn't control his body and unleash more powerful strength, he would at least be severely injured.
In the face of this crisis, Lin Chuan had no choice.
He forcibly released his energy pool, forming the strongest defence, while attempting to transform into Super Saiyan 4 again.
Even though he had completely memorised the method to transform into Super Saiyan 4, it had been a short time since he achieved this form.
Even with his meticulous control over energy, he couldn't transform instantly.
'Boom~~!!!!!!'
An explosion bloomed in the sky, creating an immense energy storm that swept across a hundred miles.
...
On the ground.
Two angels were watching the battle while continuing to enjoy their food.
They were not worried or tense at all.
Indeed, being supremely powerful, they had already calculated everything.
The others, however, were extremely worried and shocked.
Especially Raditz, who had just woken up from unconsciousness.
A flick on the forehead had knocked him out, and if it weren't for his prolonged gravity training, he would have been unconscious for at least one or two hours.
He stood with Vegeta and Piccolo, all looking up at the sky.
They couldn't see what was happening, but their ki-sensing told them Lin Chuan was in trouble.
Not daring to make a sound, Bulma, recalling what Lin Chuan had said earlier, approached Whis and Vados with a worried expression, ready to ask questions.
Before she could speak, Whis sensed her intention and calmly said, "Lady Lin Chuan, there is no need to worry. This battle will stop short of fatal damage, and Champa's power is controlled by my sister. With Lin Chuan's strength, there is no danger to his life."
Whis's words brought a sigh of relief to Bulma.
"That's good to hear." She continued looking up at the sky, unable to sense anything and feeling anxious.
Seeing this, Vados glanced deeply at Bulma and summoned her angel staff.
A projection appeared, showing the battle process and the current situation.
This scene shocked everyone.
Raditz, Vegeta, and Piccolo also came closer to watch.
Their awe and fear of Whis and Vados grew stronger.
Having received information from Lin Chuan, Piccolo thought to himself: [So these are Angels? This is what Lin Chuan meant by omnipotent… This vast world is; I am just a frog in a well.]
A frog in a well!
It wasn't just Piccolo who thought this now.
Vegeta and Raditz also felt their entire worldview had been completely overturned.
It was as if the power they had always sought was insignificant.
Here's the translation with Dragon Ball character names and abilities:
---
At this moment, although he was unaware of the existence of Angels, from their methods and behaviour, he realised they were not simple beings.
"Even a Super Saiyan like Talos isn't a match for the Destroyer God! And that's with the Destroyer God's power being restrained," Vegeta thought, gritting his teeth. He glanced at Vados and Whis, thinking, "Who exactly are these two who can even restrain the power of a Destroyer God?!"
They are even stronger and more terrifying than the Destroyer God.
…
High in the sky.
A terrifying explosion had just ended.
Thick smoke filled the sky, lingering for a long time.
Jiren did not make another move. He stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an arrogant attitude, looking down on mortals.
Moving around a bit, he felt much more comfortable.
Initially, just a few moves were enough.
But Linchuan sought his death and desecrated his existence.
If he didn't crush him properly, he wouldn't be Jiren.
"Still not coming out? I didn't even use my full strength just now. If you can't withstand even that, then I have overestimated you," Jiren's voice spread, covering the entire area.
Linchuan had just stabilised his Super Saiyan 4 form in the thick smoke.
The second transformation didn't require the Great Ape to transform into the Golden Great Ape and then transform again, but it couldn't be achieved easily.
"Fortunately, if I couldn't achieve it at this time, I would have failed," Linchuan muttered, maintaining his current power.
No longer like before.
Previously, he fought Jiren with full power Super Saiyan 1 to see to what extent Jiren's power was restrained and if he could handle it.
Now he knew and had more confidence in defeating Jiren with Super Saiyan 4.
'Wham~~!!!'
Just as Linchuan was about to break through the smoke and come out.
A terrifying hurricane swept in first.
Under the rampage of this storm, the thick smoke was completely torn apart, revealing Linchuan's current appearance.
Jiren smirked wickedly, a playful look flashing in his eyes.
This kid just got serious and didn't take him seriously at all.
…
On the ground.
Seeing Linchuan's new form, everyone was shocked and incredulous.
A wild figure, blood-red fur, jet-black waist-length hair, especially those dual-coloured eyes, so deep they couldn't see through them at all.
"What, what is this?!" Raditz exclaimed, trying to get a closer look.
They all knew about Super Saiyan transformations.
But Linchuan's current form was unheard of and had never been seen before.
It was like a humanoid ape!
"Could it be that we Saiyans not only can transform into Super Saiyans but also have many other transformations? Like the Great Ape form?" Raditz wondered.
"Stop joking, Raditz! You don't know, but I do. In our Saiyan legend, there's only the Super Saiyan! The Great Ape form can be called a transformation?!" Vegeta scolded angrily.
Ignorance is too terrifying.
That's Vegeta's view of Raditz.
He didn't know that his knowledge was also pitifully limited.
If he familiarised himself with the Saiyan myths, there is the existence of the Super Saiyan God.
Of course, even if he knew this myth, Linchuanwasn't a Super Saiyan God then.
Looking at that robust figure, feeling that surging power, Vegeta was confused.
He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
In his view, it was obvious that Talos had surpassed the realm of the Super Saiyan.
They hadn't even touched the threshold of Super Saiyan, and Talos had already reached this point.
