Chapter 51

Seeing this scene—

Aishi's expression tightened. He swiftly raised both hands to his forehead, forming a flower-bud shape.

—Shii!

A brilliant blue energy flared up suddenly. From his hands surged forth a mass of divine energy—immense and overflowing—

High in the sky, Beerus floated with a calm demeanor, supporting a massive scorching energy bomb with one hand.

Beerus stared at Aishi. "Let me see how you'll block this."

He lightly bent a finger.

The next second—

That scorching energy sphere, even larger than the Moon, came crashing toward Earth at terrifying speed!

It was incredibly fast!

The energy bomb drew nearer and nearer.

Everyone's expressions darkened.

And it hadn't even landed yet—still tens of kilometers away!

Yet already, the sheer oppressive heat had nearly caused them to faint!

Goku's face was grave. "What an intense heatwave… The God of Destruction really is overwhelmingly strong..."

He turned to Aishi, eyes filled with hope. "You have to stop this!"

In that moment—

Goku had to admit it.

When Beerus fought him—

He definitely held back!

And not just a little.

He was lucky Beerus didn't kill him.

Piccolo, Vegeta, and the others shared the same thought.

"Damn it..."

"All I can do is watch...!"

Vegeta clenched his teeth, staring at the falling energy bomb with wide eyes.

He really was only able to just watch.

That's all he could do!

Even just enduring the heatwave was exhausting him.

Let alone trying to block the thing.

Paragus looked up at the bomb blotting out the sun, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He quickly turned to Broly, his face full of panic.

"Broly, if Aishi can't stop it, you've got to help him!"

Broly's face was somber. "I will… but I might not be able to stop it either."

Meanwhile—

A deep growl came from Aishi's throat, his muscles bulging violently.

"Saishū... Kamehameha!! (Final Kamehameha!!)"

In the next moment—

An enormous energy beam surged forth, wrapped in crackling blue lightning, radiating an unstoppable, destructive force.

It collided with the scorching bomb!

—BOOOOOM!!!

The moment they clashed—

The explosion was stronger than a planetary impact, shaking all of Earth violently!

And not just Earth—

The entire North Galaxy trembled from the shockwaves!

The residual energy waves spread outward like a storm!

"HAHHHHHH!!!"

Aishi's eyes were locked on Beerus, pouring every ounce of energy into his beam as if his life depended on it.

—BOOM!

The Final Kamehameha began to overpower the scorching bomb.

Pushing it back—

Ever closer to Beerus…

Beerus narrowed his eyes. "Still have that much energy?"

"Hmph. Then take it all!"

He raised both hands, his energy erupting in a violent surge.

He released his full power—100% of his base form!

No more holding back!

—Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!

In an instant—

The scorching bomb expanded dozens of times over, becoming incomprehensibly massive!

From Earth, it looked like a second sun—equal in size to the planet itself—was crashing down!

Everyone was terrified.

This scene—

It wasn't just like the end of the world...

It was the end of the world!

Already, ordinary people were being vaporized by the heat.

The oceans were visibly evaporating—

The entire world was engulfed in dense, scalding vapor.

Down below—

Everyone stared up at the sky—

And fell into despair.

Vegeta's face twisted. "Damn it… It's over. Aishi can't hold out!"

Krillin was in despair. "No way… My kid's only a year old..."

Piccolo's face was dark. "Damn it!!"

Gohan stared at Aishi, face filled with anxiety. "Sensei…"

The air was heavy with hopelessness.

Beside them—

21's face was tight with worry. Her delicate fists clenched so hard they dug into her palms.

She stared at Aishi in the sky, face pale beyond control.

18 noticed her state and quickly pulled her arm.

"Don't go. Trust in Aishi..."

Even though 18 was anxious, she kept calm and spoke gently.

"But…"

21 was on the verge of tears. She didn't believe Aishi could survive this!

The heat alone was overwhelming for them—

And Aishi was taking the full brunt of it while clashing with Beerus!

18 stared at her. "If you go, you'll only distract him!"

"..."

Hearing this—

21 fell silent.

She really couldn't do anything. If she went, she might actually hurt Aishi's chances...

But could she really just stand by and watch?

Whis watched the sky. After observing Beerus for a moment, he furrowed his brow.

"Lord Beerus…"

He hadn't expected it—

Beerus had lost control.

He was now using full base power!

But…

Whis looked toward Aishi, still desperately holding on.

Could he survive this?

Should he intervene?

After a moment of thought, Whis gently shook his head. "Forget it. I'll respect Lord Beerus's wishes."

He turned to the others, who were struggling to endure.

"Come stand by me. You'll be safer here."

He tapped his staff on the ground.

—Dooong! Doooong!

With a few ethereal echoes, a massive circular barrier expanded from Whis's staff.

It blocked out all wind, heat, and pressure.

Everyone hurried into the barrier.

Whis chuckled softly.

He had taken their food, after all—he should protect them once, at least.

Whether Earth survived—

That was now up to Aishi...

Off to the side—

Paragus clung to Broly, barely protected from the heat.

Without Broly, he'd have already been fried alive!

He looked to the sky, and after a long pause, muttered:

"Broly… Go help Aishi. If you don't, we're all doomed."

Broly's expression was grim. He nodded gently. "Okay."

And with that—

He flew toward Aishi.

Above the cruise ship—

Goku looked down at his hands, already parched from the heat.

His face was intense. "No… I can't just watch!"

He looked up at Aishi, brows furrowed. "He might not hold on… The Earth might be destroyed…"

Sweat poured down his face.

He had never faced such an overwhelming enemy.

Worst of all—he couldn't even help!

What should he do...?

What could he do?

He was desperate—sweating, panting, helpless.

He had never wanted more strength than he did now!

...

Meanwhile—

The energy was pushing back toward Aishi...

His expression darkened, and after a brief pause—

"Looks like I'll have to use that move…"

Restricted Time Stop!

He would limit the time stop to only himself and Beerus.

If he succeeded—it would become Super Time Stop!

Everything hinged on this moment!

A fierce glint flashed through Aishi's eyes. He growled, "Time Stop!"

—WHUMMM!!!

The moment the words left his mouth—

Time froze across a limited area around Aishi and Beerus...

Three seconds.

That was enough!

Aishi poured out all of his remaining energy. "Sanjuu-bai Kaiōken!!! (30x Kaioken!!!)"

—BOOM!

A crimson aura, over 100 meters tall, erupted around him!

Within the gray, frozen world—

A blaze of blood-red light burst forth!

Under the force of 30x Kaioken, the Final Kamehameha swelled to over 10 times its original power.

In an instant—

Beerus's scorching bomb was annihilated.

Crack...!

At the same time, the frozen world shattered into countless fragments—

Back in reality—

—BOOOOOOM!!!

The Final Kamehameha, empowered by 30x Kaioken, appeared without warning from Beerus's perspective.

To everyone else—it was equally baffling!

All they saw—

Was Aishi erupt in crimson energy, his Kamehameha swelling several times in size—

And effortlessly pierce through Beerus's massive energy bomb!

...

Beerus's pupils shrank. He stared at the enhanced Kamehameha in disbelief!

What happened to his bomb?

When did it disappear?

Why was the Kamehameha so much stronger than before?

Just moments ago, it wasn't even close to this powerful!

He had too many questions—

But no time for answers.

The Kamehameha was only millimeters away!

He didn't even have time to release a destruction wave—

—KRAKABOOOOOOM!!!

A deafening roar rocked the heavens—

The entire Earth shook violently, as if about to explode!

Beerus took Aishi's full-power strike head-on.

It happened so fast—he didn't even react!

The explosion created a massive mushroom cloud that blanketed the sky.

"Huff… Huff…"

Aishi panted heavily, eyes fixed on the smoke cloud.

His whole body ached!

Burned and sore!

He had poured everything into that last attack!

He hadn't expected the Time Stop to work so well.

If it hadn't...

He might not have made it.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have defeated Beerus! You've earned 10% Vegito progress! Vegito has been fully unlocked and merged with the host!]

A mechanical voice echoed through his mind.

The next moment—

A warm surge of energy washed over him, erasing all exhaustion!

Heavenly music!

Aishi had never felt so happy to hear the system's voice!

He could feel it—

His base strength was skyrocketing!

He glanced at his stats—

His pupils shrank.

500 Undecillion!!!

And that wasn't all—he could now sense a new transformation.

Deep Blue!

Aishi's expression lit up. This is amazing!

...

At the same time—

Silence.

Deathly silence.

No one spoke.

Only after a long while...

Krillin broke the silence, looking dumbfounded. "What… just happened?"

Was the battle—

Over… in an instant?!

Piccolo was equally stunned. "I don't know either."

Vegeta looked shaken. "All I saw... was Aishi suddenly overwhelming Beerus's attack and landing a hit!"

Gohan exclaimed with joy, "I don't know about the rest—but we're safe now!"

Hearing that—

Everyone snapped out of it.

Their faces brightened with joy.

We survived!!
