"Oh my!"
Whis, still perched calmly on a tree branch, looked out at the escalating battle. He murmured to himself, "Lord Beerus, it's been a long time since you've used your full strength. I wonder... how this will end?"
Though his voice was calm, Whis's fingers tightened slightly around his staff—he was clearly prepared to intervene if needed.

The moment Beerus released his full power, the sheer intensity of his divine aura shook the Earth itself.
"So strong!" Goku muttered, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Everyone felt it—Beerus's godly presence pressed against their bodies like a mountain. Their legs trembled—not from fear, but from the overwhelming force before them... and maybe, just a little, from the excitement of facing such a powerful opponent.
Goku clenched his fists and exploded into motion, charging toward Beerus with a fierce yell. He thrust both fists forward, aiming directly at the God of Destruction.
But to Beerus, Goku's high-speed attack looked laughably slow. Even at full power, Goku's movements were completely visible to the god. Beerus sighed inwardly.
With a casual step to the side, Beerus dodged.
"What?!"
Goku's fists slammed into an afterimage. Before he could react, Beerus calmly appeared beside him and threw a light punch to his chest.
Bang!
The impact launched Goku like a cannonball.
Before Goku could recover, Beerus zipped next to him again and delivered a brutal kick to his abdomen.
"Aghhh!"
Goku screamed in pain as he was sent flying, crashing toward the others.
Whoosh!
Vegeta immediately darted forward and caught Goku midair.
"Kakarot! Are you alright?!"
Goku wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. With a weak chuckle, he fumbled for a Senzu Bean, popped it into his mouth, and exhaled sharply as his injuries healed.
"He's way too strong," Goku said grimly. "I couldn't even see his movements…"
Beerus floated above them, calm and collected. He raised a single finger and beckoned.
"All of you, come at once."
The team exchanged looks—and nodded.
Swish!
Rayden used Instant Transmission and reappeared behind Beerus, aiming a swift kick at his back.
"Hmm?"
Beerus frowned. He had just scanned everyone's movements—but somehow, Rayden had vanished and reappeared without warning.
Before Beerus could react, Broly's massive fist was swinging toward him.
Beerus quickly responded with a right hook, connecting cleanly with Broly's punch.
Though Beerus remained unmoved, Broly was knocked back hundreds of meters.
Now, Cell, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and Paragus joined the fray, closing in on Beerus from multiple angles.
Despite the numbers, Beerus didn't even seem to break a sweat. He danced around their punches and countered with ease.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The battle intensified, stretching from the skies above Earth into the edge of space.
"You're all strong," Beerus said, brushing some dust off his shoulder. "But is this really all you've got?"
Suddenly, Beerus flared his aura and struck out, landing a devastating punch on Vegeta and a swift kick to Gohan—sending both hurtling away.
Realizing brute force wouldn't work, Piccolo changed tactics. He placed two fingers to his forehead as energy gathered at the tips.
He thrust his hand forward.
"Devil's Light Killing Cannon!"
A blinding spiral beam of energy blasted toward Beerus.
But Beerus raised one hand and... swatted it away.
"Impossible!" Piccolo gasped.
Beerus teleported above Piccolo and, with both fists together, pounded him eleven times in rapid succession.
"ARGH!!"
Piccolo screamed, crashing onto a distant, unknown planet.
Paragus immediately appeared behind Beerus and threw a punch.
Bang!
Beerus casually caught it with his left hand.
Paragus gritted his teeth and tried to pull back, but Beerus's grip was immovable.
The God of Destruction gave a sly smile and charged an energy sphere in his right palm.
BOOM!
The explosion lit up space. Paragus fell, his body scorched and broken—he was down for the count.
"You bastard!"
Cell roared, his energy surging wildly. He dove toward Beerus, fists swinging furiously.
Their fists collided in a thunderous shockwave.
Cell's attack did nothing.
Beerus backhanded him away like swatting a fly.
But Cell refused to give up. He pushed through the pain and charged again, engaging in brutal close combat.
Though Cell's regenerative abilities from Piccolo and Slug's cells helped him recover mid-battle, the wounds kept piling up. His green blood trickled from his mouth.
Suddenly, Beerus grabbed Cell by the neck and kneed him in the abdomen repeatedly.
"AHHHH!"
Cell's screams echoed through space. He couldn't fight back. His arms dangled helplessly.
As though sensing someone nearby, Beerus finally threw Cell aside.
Cell's body spiraled downward through the void, disappearing into the stars.
---
From the distance, three auras rapidly approached.
Rayden, Broly, and Goku returned, flying out of Earth's atmosphere. The battlefield now was completely in space.
Floating before them was Beerus—calm, composed, and the only one still standing.
Everyone else had been soundly defeated.
Rayden narrowed his eyes. "Goku… we can't beat him like this. You're not strong enough yet. You need to fuse with Vegeta."
Goku nodded, sensing Vegeta's location. He teleported away without hesitation.
Beerus blinked in confusion. "Why'd he just leave?"
Rayden and Broly shared a glance—and immediately canceled their Super Saiyan Blue transformations.
"RAHHH!"
Lightning cracked through the darkness of space. Their black hair shimmered silver, growing long and wild. Silver fur grew over their chests and arms. Their tails turned white.
Rayden and Broly had both transformed into Super Saiyan 5.
Their eyes gleamed, and their auras were so intense that even Beerus flinched.
"What the...?"
Beerus was stunned. These mortals had another transformation beyond Super Saiyan God?
This was no longer a warm-up fight—this was real.
In an instant, the three clashed.
Every punch from Rayden and Broly sent shockwaves across the cosmos. Nearby planets cracked, exploded, or were blown out of orbit.
During the fierce exchange, Broly suddenly pulled away, hovering in place as he gathered energy in his chest.
"Rayden! Move!"
Rayden didn't hesitate. He used Instant Transmission and vanished from Beerus's vicinity.
BOOOOOM!!!
Broly unleashed a devastating chest energy cannon, slamming into Beerus and pushing him far back.
Though not injured, Beerus's clothes were scorched and torn.
Beerus straightened his back, eyes narrowing.
"Looks like I underestimated you."
