(TL: I have been having a lot of troubles translating this fic T.T. It sometimes get cut off at the end. The author doens't make it easy T.T It got cut off at the end of last chapter)

On the stage, the air stirred without wind.

Aishi and King Sadala stood silently, staring at one another.

For a long while, neither spoke.

Then suddenly—

Aishi opened his mouth, his tone calm: "Is Ultra Instinct your limit?"

"Ultra Instinct… your ultimate form?"

King Sadala's face shifted slightly. What was that supposed to mean?

Aishi chuckled lightly. "If Ultra Instinct is your ceiling... then your chances of victory are zero."

The moment he said that, everyone present was visibly shocked.

Champa's brows furrowed, eyes locked on Aishi. "What the hell is that guy saying?!"

A few of the recently revived Tuffle warriors nearby also frowned deeply upon hearing this.

Caulifla glared at Aishi and snapped, "What nonsense is he spewing? You think he can beat King Sadala?!"

From the start of the fight, she had become King Sadala's biggest fan!

That terrifying Son Goku had been one-shotted by him!

How strong must that be!?

And yet Aishi was being this cocky?

Cabba's expression was complicated. Even he couldn't tell who was stronger.

Aishi had left too deep an impression on him...

Vados chuckled softly, "Lord Champa, what Aishi said may not be entirely wrong."

Champa's face changed. He looked at Vados in disbelief. "What do you mean?!"

"Didn't you witness King Sadala's power that day? Even I took a few hits from him!"

Vados pressed her hand to her forehead and sighed. "Lord Champa, you overestimate yourself—why not take a look at Beerus or Aishi? Both of them could probably one-shot you."

Champa: "…"

His face turned livid. "Whose side are you on?!"

Vados straightened and said earnestly, "Yours, of course."

Only then did Champa breathe a sigh of relief, though he still scoffed and looked back at the stage. "Hmph, we'll see. Don't get ahead of yourselves."

Vados gently shook her head. Indeed, King Sadala was strong—close to a Destroyer-level fighter when compared to Champa.

But when compared to Beerus?

King Sadala didn't quite measure up.

So, the "power" you perceive—might only be impressive to you. In the eyes of others? Maybe not so much.

"Lord Champa, that's your own universe's pride showing."

Meanwhile—

Beerus's face brightened as he laughed, "Hahaha! That's our Aishi! We're saved now!"

Whis, however, shook his head and smiled. "Don't celebrate too soon, Lord Beerus."

His eyes remained focused on King Sadala.

Ultra Instinct… wasn't something to be taken lightly.

The audience seated on circular cushions all collectively let out a sigh of relief.

Krillin wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled deeply, "Phew… I really thought we were about to get steamrolled!"

Piccolo's face remained stern. "As expected, every universe has its hidden powerhouses. We can't afford to underestimate anyone."

Master Roshi nodded and added, "Let's hope the rest of our team learns a lesson from this…"

Off to the side—

Chi-Chi scoffed. "What's that supposed to mean, old man? My Goku only lost because of a mistake!"

Everyone else: "…Right, a mistake."

No one responded.

Krillin stared at the arena and muttered, "It's up to Aishi now."

The others nodded.

He was the only one they could pin their hopes on.

The undefeated seed in their hearts.

King Sadala looked at Aishi and asked in a low voice, "You don't seem amusing at all."

Aishi smiled. "Then let's test it out."

Test it out.

With those words, the atmosphere grew tense instantly.

Everyone's expressions shifted, eyes locked on the two warriors in the arena.

King Sadala smiled too. "Then let's test it!"

This was the reason he came here, wasn't it?

If he didn't even have the guts to fight the one before him, what kind of king would he be?

His thoughts focused, King Sadala's gaze locked onto Aishi.

Aishi took a deep breath—calm and composed.

In the next moment, the energy within his body surged violently—

At his feet, a deep and eerie purple light rippled outward like waves across the arena...

The Power of Destruction...!

FWOOSH!!

Suddenly—

A blast of purple, jet-like energy erupted around Aishi, lightning flashing within the dense aura like roaring thunder in a storm.

The purple flame-like aura radiated a terrifyingly pure destructive energy—

A force so overwhelming, it felt like it could annihilate everything, turning all to ash!

Everyone on the scene felt a chill down their spine.

Aishi slowly retracted his aura, condensing it.

At that moment—his hair, once black, had turned purple.

His eyebrows vanished. His pupils became amethyst-colored.

He looked eerie, powerful, divine.

A form radiating overwhelming destruction.

Despite not making a grand display, just this transformation alone—

Sent chills down everyone's spines.

Because this energy—

Was unmistakable.

The Power of Destruction!!

Champa and Beerus both jolted upright in their seats, expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Even Vados and Whis looked genuinely surprised.

Why?

Because this form—

Was no less shocking than Ultra Instinct itself!

On the other side—

King Sadala's face changed dramatically.

His composure vanished, replaced by seriousness and tension.

His eyes locked onto Aishi.

"...Power of Destruction?!"

This was Aishi's first time using this form.

And to be honest—

He felt like he could obliterate everything.

Aishi's expression shifted slightly.

He finally understood—

Using the Power of Destruction…

And mastering it—

Were two completely different things!

The difference was like heaven and earth.

Aishi clenched his fist.

The destructive energy in his body felt infinite, boundless.

Beerus took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He looked at Aishi with a heavy gaze. "Whis... did you teach him?"

Champa was stunned speechless.

Upon hearing Beerus's question, he quickly turned to Vados. "Vados! Say something!"

Vados stared at Aishi, then slowly shook her head. "Lord Champa, I didn't teach him."

She had asked Aishi before if he wanted to become a God of Destruction.

He'd brushed it off and never followed up.

She hadn't expected—

That he'd already mastered it.

And not just an ordinary level, either.

Judging by the density of the destructive energy…

Aishi had already reached the top-tier of all Destroyers!

Even among Gods of Destruction, power levels differed.

Hearing this—

Beerus's face darkened.

He looked slowly toward Aishi and said grimly, "Whis… I think he's surpassed me."

Whis stroked his chin, voice complex. "It's difficult to admit, Lord Beerus… but it's true."

Truth.

Son Goku and the others nearby overheard the conversation—

And were completely dumbfounded.

Surpassed Beerus?!

That was something they wouldn't even dream of…

And Aishi had already done it.

Broly locked eyes on Aishi.

In that moment, he finally understood—

The true gap between him and Aishi.

Vegeta fell silent.

He never expected to wake up to something like this...

To be honest, if it was going to be like this—

He might as well have stayed asleep.

This was too demoralizing.

Son Goku's expression was grim.

His eyes were glued to the stage, not daring to blink even once.

Afraid he might miss something.

King Sadala stared at Aishi, face tense.

After a long moment, he finally opened his mouth: "I—"

Before he could finish—

Aishi cut him off.

"Make your move. I'll let you strike first."

His voice was calm.

King Sadala: "…"

His expression flickered with conflict.

But he didn't move.

Aishi raised an eyebrow. "If you don't attack... I will."

King Sadala locked eyes with him, and finally growled, "I'm coming!"

As the words left his mouth—

He vanished, leaving behind only a fading afterimage.

In the blink of an eye—

He was already in front of Aishi, launching a devastating strike!

Silver flames burned around him—

BOOM!!!

Suddenly—

A burst of violet light exploded.

A deep, thunderous impact echoed through the arena—

CRACK!!!

King Sadala was blasted backwards like a cannonball!

He crashed hard to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth—

"AHHH!!"

Champa's face twisted in horror. "It's over!!!"

Beerus stared wide-eyed at Aishi, voice tense. "Did he even punch...? I didn't see anything…"

Goku gasped. "Even Lord Beerus didn't catch it?!"

Beerus: "…"

Vegeta actually felt better after that. "If even Beerus couldn't follow it... then it's not like I'm falling behind."

Beerus's face turned livid. He didn't reply.

Whis chuckled, "Not seeing it is normal… maybe if you spent less time napping and more time training, Lord Beerus?"

Beerus turned red and snapped, "Mind your own business!"

Meanwhile—

Aishi could feel the flood of destructive energy within his body, and even he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This invincible sensation…

Off-stage—

King Sadala struggled to get up, bracing himself against the arena floor.

Blood dripped from his mouth.

He slowly looked up at Aishi.

His expression tense.

That single punch—

Had shattered his organs completely.

If not for his strong vitality, he'd already be dead on the floor.

King Sadala flew back onto the stage, landing steadily.

No one mentioned whether he'd already lost…

Because by now, everyone had silently agreed—

That rule no longer mattered.

Even the referee was nowhere to be seen.

Aishi looked at him and smiled. "Want to go again?"

King Sadala's face twisted with frustration.

Now he understood.

If he'd known things would go like this—

He wouldn't have put on such a show.

And now that it was too late—

All he could do was confront his real reason for stepping into this arena...
