At the same time—

Realm of the Supreme Kai.

The three Supreme Kais stood, faces grave, staring at the crystal ball.

Shin, the current Supreme Kai, looked toward the Elder Kai, his expression filled with dread.

"Ancestor-sama, this is bad! Are we… are we going to die?!"

Kibito was equally panicked.

"No! Please no!"

The Elder Kai's face was stern, his eyes locked on the image within the crystal.

After a moment of silence, he muttered,

"I won't jump to conclusions… but this ki—I'm telling you, it's no less than that of a God of Destruction!"

No less than a God of Destruction!

The Elder Kai paused, then added:

"And not just any one… it's on the level of a top-tier God of Destruction!"

Top-tier?!

Shin and Kibito could hardly breathe.

Not less than a top-tier God of Destruction?!

What kind of concept was that?

Beyond even Beerus?!

Shin quickly asked, "Then what do we do?! Are we really doomed?!"

The Elder Kai narrowed his eyes.

"Look at Aishi… he doesn't seem panicked."

"Indeed."

The two immediately leaned in and focused on Aishi's expression.

Their spirits lifted instantly.

"Right! Aishi doesn't look anxious at all!"

That had to mean something, right?

The Elder Kai chuckled lightly,

"Don't celebrate too soon. If Aishi slips up even once—"

Shin's face grew serious.

"True… We should still pray for his success!!"

Realm of the Gods of Destruction.

Son Goku, Vegeta, and Broly had long stopped training. The three of them stood before Beerus and Whis.

Goku's face was heavy.

"There's no mistaking this ki… it's Frieza. He's back… and way scarier than before. We can feel it even from here, in the realm of the Gods!"

Vegeta and Broly both looked grim.

This overwhelming pressure—it was terrifying.

Nearby, Beerus remained silent, brows tightly furrowed.

Whis's eyes glinted with caution.

"…It seems I misjudged things earlier."

With a slight wave of his staff, Whis tapped the air.

A clear image appeared—Earth's current state.

Vegeta's eyes twitched.

Goku stared at the projection, and upon spotting Aishi, he sighed in relief.

"Aishi's there. That's good."

Whis slowly explained,

"Thanks to Aishi's protection, Earth is safe. But the rest—the solar system, the Andromeda Galaxy, and everything in between—was shattered by Frieza's overwhelming ki."

Goku's expression turned sharp.

"Then we have to go now!!"

Beerus looked at Whis.

"How long?"

Whis did the calculation.

"At top speed—three minutes and twenty-eight seconds."

Vegeta frowned.

"That's too long. By the time we get there, it'll be over!"

Goku closed his eyes, breathing calmly.

"I'll try Shunkan Idō (Instant Transmission)."

Everyone turned to him.

Placing two fingers to his forehead, Goku focused.

In just a moment—his eyes shot open.

"Got it!"

Beerus blinked.

"That fast?!"

Goku nodded.

"This ki is so strong, I don't even have to search."

Beerus nodded solemnly.

"Then let's go."

He wasn't going to delay.

This kind of power was now beyond his own—how could he afford to waste time?

Everyone placed a hand on Goku's shoulder.

Back on Earth.

Frieza had just completed his transformation. His violent ki blazed outward, forming a surging, spiraling aura that rose like a pillar of fire.

His body was now clad in a deep obsidian hue, shining like polished onyx.

His muscles were defined, exuding raw power.

The sheer pressure made it nearly impossible for anyone to breathe.

This—was Black Gold Form!

Frieza spread his arms, a slight grin forming.

"My apologies, everyone. I might've gone a little overboard with this transformation. You don't mind, do you?"

"A little"?

Everyone present looked angry, but none dared speak.

Piccolo's face was serious.

"He's cruel. He… he obliterated all of his own Frieza Force troops with just the pressure of his ki."

Krillin let out a deep breath, looking at Aishi with gratitude.

"Thank you, Aishi. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have survived that level of pressure."

Son Gohan also relaxed slightly.

"Thankfully, sensei acted. Otherwise…"

He trailed off.

Everyone understood what he meant.

Krillin nodded quickly.

"Yeah, if not for you… Marron and my daughter… they'd be gone…"

Aishi said nothing, only nodded slightly.

Honestly, he'd done all this just to protect his wives…

His eyes locked onto Frieza.

As expected… Black Gold Form.

And it didn't seem like just any version. This felt… refined.

Frieza bowed slightly, smiling with elegance.

"This is… Black Gold Frieza!"

Everyone fell silent.

Frieza chuckled.

"Well? Have you all decided how you'd like to die?"

"Pick your own death"—

Everyone remained silent.

Now was not the time to talk.

Krillin especially knew—only silence brings survival.

Aishi smiled and stepped forward.

"Frieza, now that you've shown your transformation… why don't I show you one of mine?"

Frieza paused, then looked over at Aishi, intrigued but calm.

"Fine. Impress me, then."

Aishi grinned and began to power up—

When suddenly—!

Several figures appeared out of thin air beside him.

It was Goku and the others.

Everyone was stunned.

They turned toward the new arrivals.

Goku, Vegeta, Broly, and Beerus stood tall.

They scanned the area—and locked eyes with Frieza.

Goku's face tightened.

"So it really is Frieza…"

Nearby, Vegeta's jaw slackened slightly.

Was this truly Frieza's ki?!

Up close, the pressure was staggering.

Beerus narrowed his eyes.

Frieza noticed the arrivals.

A wicked grin spread across his face.

He examined them one by one—

Goku, Vegeta, Broly… and Beerus.

As for Whis, Frieza ignored him.

Just Beerus's attendant—not worth his attention.

Frieza smiled.

"Well, isn't this quite the reunion."

Goku asked coldly,

"Frieza… why are you here on Earth?"

Frieza shook his head.

"Still pretending, huh? You really don't know? The truth is… I owe my current strength to you, Son Goku!!"

He snarled.

"You have any idea how much I suffered down there?!"

Beerus stepped forward.

"Frieza… what did you do to gain this kind of power?"

Frieza turned to him slowly.

"Beerus… long time no see."

Beerus scowled.

"…Yeah. Long time."

Frieza gave a small smirk.

"I didn't come here for you. So don't meddle."

Don't meddle?

Beerus nearly laughed in disbelief.

On his turf, and Frieza was telling him not to interfere?

Beerus's expression darkened.

BOOM!!!

The ground trembled as Beerus unleashed a colossal wave of Hakai (Destruction Energy)!

Destruction energy poured out in all directions—

The entire Earth quaked beneath the sheer pressure.

The entire 7th Universe shook violently once again!

Aishi's lips twitched.

"I just fixed Earth…"

Still, he remained silent—curious to see what would unfold.

Frieza's eyes narrowed, and his own Black Gold Aura surged forth, clashing directly with Beerus's energy.

The two stood face to face—

Everyone watched, breath held.

Goku and the others stepped beside Aishi, leaving space between Beerus and Frieza.

Whis's expression sharpened.

"Lord Beerus… are you serious about fighting?"

Beerus didn't respond.

His pupils narrowed—like a cat's—

His body became enveloped in a deep purple sheen.

In just one breath—

ZWAAM!!!

In that instant—Beerus unleashed his full Destruction Power.

Aishi's eyes widened.

His power level… just spiked to the pinnacle in a flash!

Frieza stared back, his own expression turning grim, but he didn't flinch.

Beerus's voice was cold.

"Seems I've let things slide too long. Now everyone thinks they can challenge me?"

Frieza sneered.

"Today won't go your way!"

Beerus replied icily.

"Too bad… I'm the one challenging you now."

Frieza's face twisted in fury.

"Don't push it, Beerus. I spared you out of respect—don't take it for weakness!"

Beerus chuckled.

"Do you think I need your respect?"

With that, it became clear—this battle couldn't be avoided.

Frieza slowly closed his eyes.

"Then show me… show me if the so-called God of Destruction is truly unbeatable!"

Beerus smirked.

"Gods of Destruction may not be invincible… but I surely am!"

And with that—

A blazing, white-hot vapor and black destruction energy intertwined around his body—

Forming a dual-aura storm that encased him entirely.

This—was none other than Migatte no Gokui (Ultra Instinct)!!!

Beerus had unleashed both Ultra Instinct and Destruction Power simultaneously!

His combat power, in that instant—

Skyrocketed to the very threshold between God of Destruction and Angel level…

At this moment—

Everyone's expression completely changed.
