Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Facing the threat of God of Destruction Champa, Katakana merely smiled faintly.
Then he calmly said, "A glorious death?"
"You need the strength for that first!"
From the two previous exchanges, Katakana could tell that Champa's power was indeed formidable.
Relying on his Super Saiyan God Rosè form combined with Kaio-ken times twenty, defeating Champa might still be difficult.
He wondered if transforming into Rosè Three could change that outcome.
"You b*****d, you're courting death!"
God of Destruction Champa's face darkened, radiating a terrifying aura.
At that moment, purple energy erupted from his body, his strength visibly increasing once again.
"Your power increased? In that case, I won't hold back either!"
"Haha!"
Seeing Champa's rising strength, Katakana roared and spread his arms wide.
Swish!
In an instant, peach-red flames erupted from his body once more.
This time, Katakana fully unleashed the power of Super Saiyan God Rosè, knowing he couldn't afford any carelessness against Champa.
"Is this your full strength? I must admit, it's impressive..."
"But if this is all you've got, it's still far from enough to face a God of Destruction!"
A sinister smile appeared on Champa's face as his figure blurred, rushing toward Katakana.
Katakana turned into a pink streak, charging to meet him.
In an instant, red and purple energies clashed violently in the air, separating and colliding repeatedly.
Each impact unleashed shockwaves that pulverized surrounding meteorites into fine dust.
Angel Vados frowned deeply.
"If this battle continues... it might wake Lord Beerus!"
With that, she tapped her staff lightly on the ground.
A light blue barrier quickly enveloped the battlefield.
It was a protective barrier—a unique technique of Angels—to prevent the devastation caused by battles between Gods of Destruction.
"Hey, Vados! It's just a fight with a Mortal!"
"Do you really need a protective barrier for this?"
Champa's expression showed his reluctance to admit that his opponent's power was approaching that of a God of Destruction.
"Lord Champa, you should understand the power you're dealing with."
"If I don't act now, your battle will escalate. If you wake Lord Beerus, you know what consequences that will bring!"
Vados's voice was cold.
Even if Beerus didn't wake up, if Angel Whis found out, things would still become troublesome.
Although Whis was her younger brother and they shared a harmonious relationship, his duty was to assist the God of Destruction and maintain the universe's stability.
If Whis found out, the result wouldn't be any better.
"Tsk..."
"I understand, Vados. I'll get rid of this Mortal rat quickly!"
Champa responded coldly, then delivered a punch that knocked Katakana back.
This time, he didn't plan to hold back anymore.
Since the protective barrier was in place, there was no need for restraint.
" rat, now I'll show you the true power of a God of Destruction!"
Champa's eyes gleamed with a purple light.
Purple energy erupted around him, and the immense divine aura filled the entire protective barrier like a vast ocean.
"This... Is this the divine aura of God of Destruction Champa? It's truly overwhelming!"
Feeling the immense divine energy, Katakana's body trembled slightly.
Not from fear, but from excitement.
Since Champa was going all out, there was no need for him to hold back either.
"What? Scared stiff?"
"Well, that's understandable. Not everyone gets to witness the full power of a God of Destruction."
"To be honest, if you'd shown me some respect, I might have spared your life. Phenomenal Mortal at your level are rare!"
"But unfortunately, you're from Beerus's universe and have no respect for me. So I have no reason to let you live!"
Champa's face showed a sinister expression as he spoke.
"Lord Champa, you've misunderstood something!"
"I don't need you to spare my life. And..."
"I never said I've used all my strength!"
A faint smile appeared on Katakana's face.
"What... What do you mean?"
Champa narrowed his eyes in confusion.
Katakana was already trembling under his power, so how could he dare say something like that?
But Katakana offered no explanation.
He clenched his fists and assumed the posture to transform into a Super Saiyan.
"Ha...ah!"
With a deafening roar, Katakana's body began to change.
His thick eyebrows disappeared, replaced by two prominent brow ridges.
His pink hair grew long, cascading down his back.
Pink energy surrounded by lightning enveloped his body, making him appear mysterious and imposing.
Not only that, but the divine aura emanating from Katakana's body became indescribably immense—terrifying, even.
The protective barrier Vados had set up seemed unable to contain the combined divine auras of Champa and Katakana, emitting a buzzing sound.
"This... How is this possible?"
