Backstage.
All of the warriors were watching this earth-shattering battle, their faces filled with shock.
What shocked them was not the ferocity of the battle, but the combat skills Talot displayed, as well as the intangible power permeating his body.
Although it could not be sensed, it undeniably existed.
With the enhancement of this strange power, Talot was able to match Raditz's Super Saiyan Full Power without transforming.
They didn't dare imagine just what kind of level Talot had reached.
...
Above the arena.
The battle continued to heat up, growing ever more intense.
As the two fought, their auras turned into frightening arcs of electricity, crazily tearing at each other, destroying one another while also distorting space.
Judging from the situation of the battle, the two were evenly matched, trading blows back and forth, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
This situation gave both sides a rough understanding of each other's strength.
Talot gained a general understanding of the power boost he received after using God Ki, and roughly grasped the level his strength had reached in the God Ki–enhanced state.
Raditz, on the other hand, was shocked by Talot's power. Although he did not know what this power was, the fact that it allowed Talot to contend with his Super Saiyan Full Power while in base form was simply incredible.
This situation was just like back then when Talot mastered the power of the Great Ape while they could not. Now it was another outrageous power once again.
"Crackle crackle~~!!" Bursts of explosions echoed through space.
Countless blue-white arcs of electricity instantly erupted around Raditz's body, his aura ascending once more as he transformed from Super Saiyan 1 Full Power into peak Super Saiyan 2.
His ferocious power level surged explosively. At this moment, even Talot's God Ki–enhanced power level could not compare to his.
Seeing this, Talot immediately mobilized the Super Saiyan energy within his body to enhance himself.
"Boom~!!"
The two auras collided, turning into a violent storm within space.
When the storm dispersed, Super Saiyan 2 Raditz struck first, throwing a ferocious punch that tore through the air.
Facing this overwhelmingly destructive punch, Talot did not dare to be careless. He immediately assumed a defensive stance, crossing his arms to block Raditz's powerful blow.
However, this force was incomparably domineering. Without transforming into a Super Saiyan, Talot was pushed backward by Raditz, his body sliding continuously.
Only when Talot's aura erupted did he barely manage to stop.
But immediately afterward, Raditz's ferocious assault, like a torrential rain of blows, came crashing in.
Facing this extremely powerful offensive, Talot steeled himself and devoted his full attention to the battle.
The battle genes were awakened, and the power drawn from the Super Saiyan energy pool grew stronger and stronger.
After continuously neutralizing dozens of Raditz's attacks, the Super Saiyan energy pool within Talot completely erupted.
With a single thought, he transformed into Super Saiyan Full Power.
That powerful aura, in less than the blink of an eye, forced Raditz back more than ten meters.
"So you finally transformed…" Raditz said, his expression growing heavier after seeing Talot's transformation.
Because Talot's transformation did not suppress his aura at all, Raditz could clearly feel just how powerful Talot was at this moment.
But even with such a vast gap in strength, Raditz absolutely refused to concede defeat.
Gritting his teeth, Raditz charged toward Talot with everything he had.
Talot, whose fighting spirit had been completely ignited, naturally showed no mercy. Bringing out the true strength of his Super Saiyan Full Power form, he unleashed a crushing punch that sent Raditz flying straight away.
A power level in the hundred billion was not something Raditz's tens of billion of power level could compare to.
After blasting Raditz away, Talot followed up closely, several powerful attacks completely suppressing Raditz.
He was completely crushed, with no suspense at all.
An enormous pressure rushed head-on. Raditz clenched his teeth tightly, and an even deeper layer of energy pool within his body was mobilized.
In the process of fighting Talot, he completed the transformation into Super Saiyan 3.
His ferocious power level directly reached 120 billion.
A power level exceeding one hundred billion was indeed very strong, but it was only about fifty percent of Talot's current strength. To contend with Talot, it was still far, far from enough.
The gap in strength was no longer something that transformation could make up for. Raditz continued to endure Talot's merciless battering, only able to defend passively while searching for an opportunity.
[Damn it!! Is Super Saiyan 3 still inferior to his Super Saiyan 1? What exactly have I been doing all these years?!]Raditz roared in his heart, but despite the huge disparity in strength, he would never admit defeat.
Continuing to defend was not a solution. He could only go all out.
At this moment, Raditz completely abandoned defense and chose a fighting style of trading injuries for injuries, competing with Talot in willpower to see who could fight to the very end.
This kind of fighting method was indeed powerful, but reality was too cruel.
Talot struck out with a powerful punch at about fifty to sixty percent of his strength, fiercely smashing Raditz's face.
"Bang!!" A loud explosion rang out, giving Raditz no chance at all.
The powerful punch landed squarely on Raditz's face. The terrifying force swept through his brain, and Raditz only felt his vision turn blurry, his expression going blank as his body uncontrollably fell toward the arena.
"Boom!!" Raditz crashed heavily into the center of the arena, forming a massive crater more than ten meters in diameter. He lay at the center of the pit, his entire body convulsing.
Was the outcome decided?
No! Raditz was unwilling to give up just like that.
Relying on his powerful willpower, he stood up. Even though his body swayed unsteadily, he still chose to continue fighting.
This scene was seen clearly by Talot above.
With an expressionless face, Talot descended from the sky and landed on the arena.
Raditz staggered out of the deep pit, and it took quite a while before the blurred scene before his eyes finally cleared.
"Do you still want to continue fighting, Raditz?" Talot asked in a deep voice.
He was not in a hurry to make a move, quietly waiting for Raditz's choice. If Raditz wanted to fight, he would accompany him to the end.
"Of course I want to fight… I'm still far from my limit… and you haven't even come close to using your full strength either. If it ends like this, it would be far too regrettable…" Raditz replied in a heavy voice after regaining his composure.
"Then come. I'll satisfy your fighting spirit." Talot waited calmly for Raditz's counterattack.
"Hoo~!" Raditz let out a long breath, relaxing his tightly wound battle nerves. After a few seconds of contemplation, he made his decision.
"Whaoosh~~!!" A blood-red killing aura erupted over Raditz's body.
"Yaaooo!!" Raditz's muscles all over his body tensed, veins bulging on his forehead. At this moment, he had completely thrown everything on the line.
Amid these thunderous roars, Raditz's aura expanded rapidly. Judging by perception alone, it had already reached a level comparable to Talot's.
Super Kaio-ken!
Raditz's final trump card, and proof that he was staking everything on this last gamble.
