After a while, Beerus revealed a faint smile and said, "Zeru, I'm starting to find you a little interesting. I hope… you won't disappoint ."
"Beerus! Co on! A fight at equal power—I fear no one!"
Zeru hooked a finger at him and shot straight into the sky.
Step!
Beerus followed imdiately, rising into the air as well.
The battle resud in the sky. It looked evenly matched on the surface, a fierce stalemate.
But in reality, all three of them knew—
Beerus still held the upper hand.
Even so, Zeru's strength was terrifying. Though slightly disadvantaged, he still managed to land occasional blows on Beerus.
Boom!
Another clash of fists. Zeru was knocked back a hundred ters, while Beerus only retreated about fifty.
The difference was subtle—
But real.
"Kid, still want to continue? You're strong, I'll give you that. But if this is all you've got… then let's end it here."
Beerus stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm, almost dismissive.
To him, Zeru's erasure ability was threatening—
But in terms of raw combat power?
Not enough.
"Ha!"
Boom!
Zeru let out a cold laugh, then exploded with energy.
This ti—
He held nothing back.
Fifteen tis Kaio-ken!
His power skyrocketed.
800 trillion.
1 quadrillion.
1.5 quadrillion.
In re monts—
It surged to 4.02 quadrillion.
Roar!
With a furious shout, Zeru vanished and reappeared before Beerus, throwing a devastating punch.
"So you're secretly boosting your power now, huh?"
Beerus chuckled, raising his own power to match.
Then—
Facing Zeru's overwhelming attack—
He calmly extended a single finger.
Tap.
Boom!
With a slight bend of that finger—
Zeru was sent flying.
"Zeru… not quite enough."
Beerus's voice echoed.
Zeru steadied himself midair, his expression darkening.
Yes, Beerus was strong.
But was he weak?
They were supposed to be at equal power.
So why—
Was he being looked down on?
A chill spread across Zeru's face.
Whoosh!
He vanished again, appearing behind Beerus.
"Too slow. Far too slow."
Beerus laughed lightly, stepping aside without even turning around, dodging the attack with ease.
"You can dodge my normal attacks—but not this one!"
Zeru's voice rang out coldly.
Beerus's expression changed slightly.
Was he about to use erasure?!
"Ti Stop."
Notification
The world froze.
In that instant—
Everything in the God of Destruction's realm beca still.
Only Zeru and Whis could move.
Even Beerus—
Was frozen in place.
"1.3 seconds… just enough."
Zeru moved instantly.
In less than a fraction of a second, he appeared before Beerus and threw a punch.
He didn't use an energy blast.
Instead—
He chose close combat.
Because in frozen ti—
He could strike multiple tis.
Bang!
"Notification Debuff effect triggered!"
Bang!
Bang!
"Notification Debuff effect triggered!"
When ti resud—
Beerus had already taken over a hundred hits.
And among those hits—
At least ten had triggered the debuff effect.
"You… really are sothing else."
Beerus stood there, covered in injuries, looking slightly disheveled. His eyes narrowed.
Now that he was certain Zeru wouldn't use erasure—
He had no reason to hold back.
It was ti—
To beat this kid down.
Step!
Beerus moved.
Blinding speed.
But after being weakened ten tis—
Though his power appeared equal on the surface—
In reality, it had dropped significantly.
So even with his speed—
His attacks and defense were no longer on par.
Bang!
Just like earlier—
Zeru raised a single finger and blocked Beerus's punch.
His left hand rested behind his back, as if he didn't even take Beerus seriously.
After a brief clash—
Zeru pushed forward.
Beerus's expression changed as a powerful force slamd into him, sending him flying hundreds of ters.
"How… how is this possible?!"
Beerus's face was filled with shock.
Had Zeru grown stronger again?
No—
His power hadn't changed.
So what was happening?
"This one… is truly strange."
Whis observed from the side, once again stunned.
Ti Stop worked.
And not just briefly—
1.3 seconds.
Even for a God of Destruction—
That was dangerous.
If they had truly been equal—
Beerus might have lost without even realizing it.
Step!
Zeru pressed the advantage, launching another relentless assault.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Stop! Hey—stop hitting ! Ouch—stop!"
After five full minutes of relentless beating, Beerus finally couldn't take it anymore. He unleashed a stronger burst of energy, blasting Zeru away.
"Beerus, that's cheating."
Zeru crossed his arms, smiling as he looked at Beerus's bruised and swollen face.
"Heh."
Beerus snorted coldly and turned away, flying straight back toward his palace.
He had no intention of continuing.
The more he fought Zeru—
The more uncomfortable it felt.
Rather than embarrass himself further—
He'd rather "cheat" and call it quits.
