Chapter 246: Beerus vs. Perfect Ultra Instinct!
"Who do you think will win?"
"Isn't it obvious? It has to be Lord Beerus!!"
"Instead of asking who will win, you might as well ask how long Lord Beerus can hold back. That's a more practical question."
"That's true…"
"Still, going up against Lord Beerus already makes him incredibly strong. It's just a matter of seeing how far he can go."
The crowd buzzed with excitement, unable to hide their anticipation.
Before long, Beerus had finished his jelly.
Only then did he step out, visibly satisfied.
"Alright, show me your full strength!"
"I know you're stronger than this. After all, you should understand that my power is immense. If this is all you've got, then you're not even worth my effort."
With the jelly gone, Beerus finally started to take things seriously.
Mu Chuan silently nodded, fully aware that his current strength alone couldn't possibly match Beerus.
He wanted to test his limits, to see how far he was from the power of a God of Destruction.
Clenching his fists tightly, terrifying energy surged from Mu Chuan's body. His hair, already purple, began to darken and grow longer as his power exploded.
In this transformation, his entire body emanated a purple aura, with arcs of terrifying purple lightning swirling around him.
Energy rising!
With his explosive power, the entire God of Destruction Realm began to tremble.
From afar, the onlookers could already feel his terrifying energy earlier. Now, as it rose again, they were completely stunned.
"No way, his power is still increasing?"
"Wasn't that his strongest state earlier?"
Warriors from other universes, who were unfamiliar with Mu Chuan, were utterly shocked.
The energy from before had already been overwhelming.
And now it was rising even further—at an astonishing speed!
"This is the strongest fighter in Universe 7? Even stronger than Frieza? No wonder the Cosmic Emperor Frieza has to steer clear of him."
"So powerful!"
"Just this burst of energy is enough to crush anyone's will to fight."
Everyone was shaken.
It wasn't just the other universe's warriors; even Saiyans and Earth warriors were in utter disbelief.
They had seen Mu Chuan use Ultra Instinct before, but this state was fundamentally different from what they had seen previously!
"What's going on?"
"His hair's grown longer, and this form looks a lot like Super Saiyan 3!"
"Could it be that the boss made another breakthrough on top of his existing foundation? My god! No wonder he suddenly wanted to challenge Lord Beerus. He's undergone a massive transformation!"
Greta was in complete disbelief. They had been trying their hardest to catch up, but Mu Chuan had already left them far behind.
Even when they couldn't match him before, the gap now seemed insurmountable!
As everyone stared in shock, Mu Chuan's hair grew to his waist, resembling Super Saiyan 3—but instead of golden hair, his was a deep purple.
Terrifying purple flames of energy surrounded him, radiating destructive power.
Even Beerus was visibly surprised. No wonder Mu Chuan had suddenly challenged him—he had achieved a massive breakthrough!
Whis, observing Mu Chuan's transformation, couldn't help but fall into deep thought. "Has he integrated the power of destruction into the Saiyan bloodline? That's quite the breakthrough, and he's even developed his own way of utilizing it."
"He's not just following the textbook. If he were only using destructive energy, his potential would be far more limited. It's impressive that he knows how to use his strengths."
"But coming up with such a method to enhance himself is truly unexpected, and the power is indeed terrifying."
"Still, compared to Lord Beerus, he's far from being a match!"
Whis hadn't expected Mu Chuan to be so bold. Such an attempt was incredibly risky, and most wouldn't even dare try, given the high likelihood of failure.
But not only had he tried, he had succeeded.
Judging by his terrifying energy, he would undoubtedly be a top contender in the Tournament of Power.
Beerus studied Mu Chuan closely. Initially, he had been rather casual—just another sparring match, nothing he hadn't done before.
A mere formality.
But who would have thought…
Mu Chuan unleashed his full power, displaying terrifying strength that forced Beerus to take him seriously.
"Interesting…"
Beerus, too, powered up, his entire body emanating a divine purple aura. His energy felt even more sacred, befitting a true God of Destruction.
His mastery of destruction energy was far beyond ordinary.
He began to grow genuinely interested—not just because of the jelly anymore.
Beerus had always been a battle-hungry deity. Facing someone strong enough to challenge him excited him. Given his immense power, very few could truly captivate his attention.
Now, Mu Chuan had managed to do just that.
As Mu Chuan's power peaked, the air itself seemed to crack with a deafening sound. The sky seemed to tear apart.
Fortunately, this was the God of Destruction Realm; otherwise, everything would have been obliterated.
At this moment, Mu Chuan revealed Perfect Ultra Instinct.
"All done!"
"This is the result of my time training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. I've perfected Ultra Instinct, and now I call it Perfect Ultra Instinct."
"Perfect Ultra Instinct?"
The crowd gasped in unison.
To have perfected such a state was unbelievable!
Everyone was overwhelmed by disbelief!
Even Karl, though shocked, felt a spark of inspiration. Besides Ultra Instinct, Saiyan transformations still had plenty of untapped potential.
However, they had always followed the traditional approach.
Naturally, this meant they lagged behind.
But now, seeing Mu Chuan's transformation, a new idea began to take root in Karl's mind.
