Immediately after Gohan unleashed his earth-shattering roar, the energy within him ignited once more, burning fiercer than ever before.
His already overwhelmingly powerful aura surged forth like a volcanic eruption.
Beerus, who had been advancing step by step, halted abruptly when he heard the roar. His gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the drastic change occurring in Gohan.
In the blink of an eye, another white-haired boy appeared before Beerus.
Gohan had already completed his transformation, taking on the appearance of a wild beast.
Then...
BOOM!
A terrifying power capable of shaking the heavens erupted like a breached dam, surging upward from the depths of the ocean.
At the same time, the boulders restraining Gohan were blasted away as his unparalleled aura swept through them, scattering them to dust.
And with all of this, a huge pillar of water shot into the sky, roaring like a giant dragon piercing the clouds.
Under Gohan's overwhelming presence, the entire ocean seemed ready to overturn and plunge into utter chaos. Beerus narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at the newly revived, peak-state Gohan, unable to suppress a flicker of astonishment.
He never imagined that this Saiyan, who had appeared to be on the verge of defeat, still had the ability to rise again.
"Well, that's surprising. I didn't expect you to still be able to stand. This really is unexpected," Beerus murmured quietly, his gaze locked firmly on Gohan.
At that moment, his words crashed into Gohan's ears like thunder. Rage instantly filled Gohan's chest, and he roared furiously.
"You ignore the lives of all beings in the universe. How could you ever understand the bonds of family, friendship, and love between us humans?! This is the true essence that you so-called Gods of Destruction will never comprehend!"
As these words left his mouth, the corners of Beerus' eyes twitched ever so slightly. His lips moved as he muttered:
"Family… friendship…"
It was as if, in that moment, emotions that had long lain dormant were quietly stirred within him. However, just as Beerus began to drift off into thought, Gohan didn't hesitate for even a second. He blitzed forward once again like lightning, launching a ferocious assault.
His figure flashed through the ocean depths like a phantom. Taking advantage of Beerus's momentary distraction, Gohan unleashed the Rozan Shoryuha without hesitation.
With overwhelming force, he struck Beerus from the ocean floor, sending him flying upward.
Beerus closed his eyes as though sinking into distant memories. In an instant, the two figures broke through the surface of the water simultaneously, ascending just above the sea.
Beerus finally snapped back to reality. Despite Gohan's savage hit, Beerus appeared completely unharmed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, a chilling gleam flickering within them.
He muttered to himself, "It's already in the past… I am a God of Destruction now. Why bother thinking about such things?"
Beerus suddenly straightened his posture once more. What he needed now was to show this arrogant human the true power of a god.
As he opened his eyes, his pupils turned purple. A massive surge of energy erupted from him, and in an instant, Beerus appeared behind Gohan.
He struck Gohan with a hand chop. It fell silently, without warning, but Gohan had already sensed it.
BOOOOM!
Just as the chop was about to land, a faint blue glow flared in Gohan's palm. Without any wind-up, he unleashed a one-handed Kamehameha.
Seeing this, Beerus instantly widened the distance between them.
He waved his hand and sent forth a purple energy pillar that shot from his palm and collided violently with Gohan's Kamehameha.
Zzzzzz—!!!
The two powers clashed in midair, lightning crackling between them.
Still, Beerus remained calm and composed.
Unable to hold back any longer, Gohan brought his other hand forward.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
In an instant, the energy of the Kamehameha surge once more.
Finally, the purple energy pillar receded slightly. But this couldn't go on forever. Gohan gritted his teeth. He knew that, at that moment, he was the strongest person alive.
His power had far surpassed that of his father and Uncle Vegeta.
Yet, even with this power, if he still couldn't defeat Beerus...
Then Earth might truly be finished.
His gaze locked onto Beerus in the distance. The guy still looked as relaxed as ever.
Meanwhile, he was already at the end of his strength.
Gohan's hands began to tremble, and his eyes dimmed. From the beginning until now, Beerus seemed to grow stronger just by standing still. He appeared to suffer setbacks here and there, but moments later, he always returned stronger than before.
Honestly, Gohan could no longer gauge Beerus's true strength.
A few seconds later, his stamina had completely disappeared. His eyes were unfocused, and he could no longer push forward. Even his beast form began to fade.
But his unshakable will told him that he could not fall here.
In his hands rested the fate of the entire Earth, of everyone.
His fading pupils widened once more.
The next moment, divine energy erupted from within him again.
Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan God once more.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
With a beast-like roar, the purple energy pillar was forced backward once more.
Even Beerus, watching from afar, was stunned. He clearly remembered that Gohan was not as strong in this form as he was in his white-haired state.
But Gohan's performance was surprising even to Beerus.
Beerus smiled lightly. "I didn't expect this. You really never stop surprising me. But, as you said, we Gods of Destruction do not have emotions."
With that, Beerus increased his power once more.
A violent tearing sensation surged from Gohan's palms through his entire body.
He let out a scream of pure agony, he was at his absolute limit.
But at that very moment, two figures appeared behind him.
"Gohan! Hold on!!" Son Goku had already transformed into Super Saiyan 4 Boundary Breakthrough, and behind him stood Son Goten.
"Big bro, we're here!" Goten instantly transformed into Super Saiyan 4 as well.
Father and son joined Gohan, and the Kamehameha waves of the Son family converged into one.
