Under the passionate rallying cry of Son Goku, everyone present felt an unprecedented surge of power rise within their hearts.
They all shared one unified objective... to change the direction of the massive shockwave.
As they joined forces and poured their energy into it, the gigantic energy pillar began to shift.
It slowly tilted to the right, then gradually descended downward. At the same time, they swiftly repositioned themselves, moving like agile fish through the air beneath the huge energy sphere at the center.
"Zzzzzzt..."
Countless arcs of dazzling electricity crackled and danced across the sky like silver serpents.
Sometimes intertwining and sometimes splitting apart, they formed a breathtaking yet deadly scene that was both beautiful and ominous.
Finally...
After tremendous effort...
The massive energy sphere, brimming with immeasurable destructive force, streaked across the sky like a radiant meteor and shot upward into the endless blue heavens.
Beerus watched this magnificent sight, the corner of his mouth lifting into a faint smile.
Truthfully, these seemingly insignificant humans had once again displayed astonishing unity and unyielding determination, far beyond what he expected. He felt genuine surprise and admiration.
In that moment, he viewed these humans, whom he had once regarded as mere ants, in an entirely new light.
But he had just spoken boldly. He couldn't simply take back his words now. If he let them off this easily, what would happen to the prestige of the God of Destruction of Universe 7, Beerus?
His gaze fixed on the multicolored energy sphere drifting into outer space.
Then, suddenly... Beerus moved.
With his hands behind his back and his posture erect, he soared upward into the sky.
"Not good! What is Beerus planning?!"
Inside Whis's protective barrier, Super Mini Cell stared at the ascending Beerus in disbelief.
His small eyes immediately shifted toward Whis, begging for an explanation.
Whis held the empty pudding cup gently in his hand and murmured, "Lord Beerus must have his reasons for this. A God of Destruction does not retract his words so easily. I imagine Lord Beerus intends to stop your companions."
Upon hearing this, Super Mini Cell and Piccolo both stiffened with worry.
Super Mini Cell instantly adopted a pitiful expression and pleaded, "Sir, please help us! For the sake of the pudding I just gave you!"
Whis smiled sheepishly as he spoke. "I'm just a servant. How could Lord Beerus possibly listen to someone like me?"
Piccolo narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Whis's aura was immeasurable, so he was clearly extraordinary.
Anyone who could stand beside Beerus, talk back to him, and not be scolded... There was no way this person was "just a servant."
Super Mini Cell clearly understood this, too. After all, he possessed Piccolo's intelligence cells, too. At that moment, Super Mini Cell became absolutely shameless.
"Mr. Whis! As long as you help us, we'll give you all the pudding you want! My boss is the richest man on Earth! You can eat as much as you want!"
Even Piccolo was stunned by how low he was willing to go. He was always laughing and goofing around. Who would've thought he'd come up with this kind of plan?
Honestly, even Piccolo himself would struggle to swallow his pride like this.
But now, with everyone's fate at stake, Super Mini Cell stepped forward. Piccolo couldn't help but view him in a new light.
Pan, Piccolo, and Super Mini Cell waited anxiously for Whis's answer. But Whis's response crushed all three of their hopes in the next second.
"No. This is something Lord Beerus has decided for himself. I have no authority to interfere."
Whis's firm attitude left them completely helpless; they could only abandon the idea.
Just then, a huge disturbance surged across the sky.
Beerus stood atop the colossal mixed-energy sphere. He was the absolute center of everyone's attention at that moment.
All eyes were on him.
"What is he doing?!" Super Mini Cell exclaimed in disbelief.
Beside him, Whis suddenly covered his face with his hand and muttered in deep sorrow: "What a pity... It seems Lord Beerus really intends to destroy Earth."
Sure enough, just as Whis predicted, Beerus raised the enormous energy sphere with one hand.
The corner of his mouth curved upward into a wicked, almost seductive smile. Then, with overwhelming confidence and arrogance, he loudly declared:
"The life or death of Earth depends entirely on a single thought from me."
As his voice fell, it was as if the entire world trembled.
He continued: "Once this energy sphere falls, Earth will be completely annihilated."
He paused and swept his gaze across everyone below.
Mocking amusement flickered in his eyes as he savored their reaction.
Finally, he raised his voice sharply and challenged them.
"In the face of such utter despair, what exactly do you plan to do?!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Beerus casually lifted his hand and waved it lightly.
Instantly, the huge energy sphere, which had been suspended high above the atmosphere, seemed to be pulled by a mysterious power and began to slowly descend toward Earth once more.
As it drew closer, it grew larger, approaching the size of the moon.
At the same time, chaos erupted across Earth.
Hurricane winds howled, lightning tore across the sky, and the ground trembled violently.
"Damn it!" Vegeta cursed furiously.
Without hesitation, he shot toward outer space at full speed.
Four other figures followed behind him.
The next moment, Goku and the other three appeared directly in front of Vegeta.
Without saying a word, Goku grabbed Vegeta's hand.
Whoosh...!
The five of them reappeared beneath the energy sphere.
Five pairs of hands pressed against its massive surface. A shockwave of overwhelming energy rippled outward, reaching the far depths of the universe.
Then...
At the Lookout, Dende suddenly sensed everyone's presence again. The strange ability that had limited Earth seemed to have abruptly disappeared.
Kaiō's planet
Kaiō was dumbfounded as he witnessed the scene unfolding.
Kaiō God Realm
The Elder Kaiō God trembled as memories of the past flashed before him, The image of Beerus sealing him inside the Kaiōshin sword flashed before his eyes.
He immediately took out his crystal ball and began observing everything happening on Earth.
