Facing Bojack's attack, Talot did not dodge or retreat, effortlessly blocking Bojack's barrage of punches.
This only made the madness in Bojack's eyes burn even stronger. He began to attack recklessly, his powerful fists striking at Talot like lightning, as if he had cast aside everything else.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…'
The thunderous sound of their clashing bodies echoed in all directions, and each impact sent violent tremors throughout the battlefield.
'Crackle~!!!!'
Arcs of lightning flashed ceaselessly around the two. The more Bojack fought, the fiercer he became, his cyan aura growing more and more powerful. With its rise, his power level surged, breaking into ever-higher levels.
Perhaps years of pent-up negativity, and now meeting Talot at this very moment, had instead awakened Bojack's hidden potential, pushing his strength to new heights.
[He is really powerful. Sealed away on a forsaken, dark planet like Kina Star, his body was tempered to an incredible degree. And now, because of the pressure I've put upon him, it has stimulated his potential, causing his strength to soar to new heights… A pity. We met at the wrong time. If it had been a little earlier, he might have been a truly worthy opponent… No, if it had been a year or two earlier, I might not have been his match at all.] Talot thought to himself.
He acknowledged Bojack's strength.
This was also the fiercest battle he had ever experienced, one that truly made him want to unleash his full strength.
Compared to him, Cooler and King Cold were nothing but insignificant specks.
"Die! Die!!" Bojack roared, swinging his right arm as he channelled all his strength into the devastating blow.
'Bang!!!' The ferocious punch was caught by Talot.
"Impressive techniques, but if this is all you have, you're no match for me!" Talot suddenly exerted strength, yanking Bojack's fist, while his other hand gathered power and struck out.
'Bang!!!!' The unstoppable, powerful punch landed squarely on Bojack's face, the terrifying force instantly robbing him of control over his body, sending him flying like a cannonball.
Without hesitation, Talot pursued. Bursting forward, he caught up to the tumbling Bojack and delivered a powerful kick to his back.
The strike accelerated Bojack's flight, and in the blink of an eye, he crashed into a towering mountain.
'Rumble~~!!!!' The entire mountain shattered on impact, collapsing into countless fragments of stone.
Talot sped forward, halting in midair as he looked down.
After taking two of his blows in succession, he wanted to see just how far this former overlord could push his strength under such crushing pressure.
Ideally, he hoped Bojack could reach a level on par with his own peak Super Saiyan 2 strength, so that he could fight to his heart's content.
And Bojack did not disappoint. From the heart of the rubble, a surge of cyan light erupted, obliterating the massive stones around him.
A violent storm swept across the planet, causing the entire Kina Star to tremble in its wake.
Out of the cyan glow, Bojack emerged, looking badly battered.
"Your techniques are also not bad… but they still need a bit more refinement." Bojack wiped the blood from his lips, flashed a grin, and fired back.
Then, without hesitation, he swung his right arm, five fingers locking onto Talot, showing not a trace of fear despite being suppressed.
'Boom~~!!!' A deafening rumble followed.
An unstoppable destructive energy beam blasted forth, surging like a raging beast, claws and fangs bared as it tore toward Talot.
At their level, even a casual strike was enough to shatter planets, let alone this full-force energy attack from Bojack.
Any being with a power level below 3 billion would be reduced to ashes at the slightest touch!
By now, Bojack's power level had skyrocketed beyond 4 billion, nearing 4.5 billion.
Talot fixed his gaze on the approaching cyan beam of energy. His right hand ignited with golden aura, forming a razor-sharp Ki Blade. At the very instant the energy beam closed in, he swung down his hand.
'Boom~~!!!' A tremendous explosion rang out.
Talot's Ki Blade instantly split Bojack's energy beam in two, carving a kilometer-long chasm into the ground beneath them.
Witnessing the terrifying strike with his own eyes, Bojack fell into a brief daze.
When he snapped back to his senses, rage boiled within his heart, veins bulging on his forehead.
For him, Bojack, to feel fear—this was humiliation.
"Raaahhh!!!" Bojack howled toward the sky, fury overtaking him as he recklessly pushed his aura higher.
His cyan aura blazed like hellfire, becoming almost tangible around him.
As his aura surged, a dull cracking sound echoed from within his massive frame, his body swelling in size at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Talot narrowed his eyes, a flash of anticipation crossing them.
Bojack's aura at this moment was at least nearing 5 billion.
Even Talot's Super Saiyan 2 Full Power could only reach around 5 billion.
"I'll tear you to pieces!" Bojack's aura condensed rapidly as his powerful body rushed forward, charging straight at Talot.
Facing Bojack's renewed assault, Talot stood his ground, making no move to evade.
Thinking Talot couldn't react in time, Bojack seized the opening and unleashed a punch full of murderous aura, striking Talot squarely in the face.
Landing a direct hit, a cruel smile spread across Bojack's face, but it froze almost instantly.
"You're celebrating too soon. With such a weak and powerless punch, even if it lands, it can't do me much harm." Taking Bojack's full-force strike head-on, Talot only tilted his head back slightly, his smile unwavering, his body not budging an inch.
Though Bojack's attacks were fierce, Talot's body had long since fused with the power of the Great Ape, giving him physical strength far beyond others at his level.
Moreover, the difference in their true power was vast.
"Don't get cocky!!" Bojack's eyes revealed a murderous intent. Refusing to accept it, he launched another ferocious assault on Talot.
His attacks came fast as lightning, one after another, each one sinister and vicious, aimed straight at Talot's vital points.
'Bang! Bam! Bang! Bam! Bang! Bam! Bang! Bam!…' The battle intensified, Bojack's attacks growing ever more frenzied.
Every punch was thrown with his full might, but each time his blows landed on Talot, it was like striking the surface of the sea, the force absorbed, unable to deal any significant damage.
After withstanding dozens, even hundreds of attacks, Talot finally saw Bojack's limit.
His power level could reach at most 5 billion.
A sharp "snap!" echoed.
