Chapter 2: From Super 5 to Super 6, Lin Qi Takes the Stage
"You damned rat, are you trying to be funny?" Beerus' eyes brimmed with ridicule and scorn.
"Sayians only exist in Universes 6 and 7!"
"And the tailed Saiyans are exclusive to Universe 7! So..."
"He's a Saiyan from Universe 7..." Beerus stated, clasping his hands behind his back, his tone growing increasingly annoyed.
How could one have slipped through the cracks?!
"Whis, investigate this thoroughly for me! What is going on here?"
"Oh..." Whis responded casually, sliding his fingers across his magic orb. Shortly after, he looked at Beerus with a face full of sympathy.
"Lord Beerus, this Saiyan was tricked out of our universe by Lord Quitela!"
"..." Beerus' expression darkened even further, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Oh dear, poor Lord Beerus, it seems everyone's always eyeing the treasures in your universe!"
"For example, the Super Dragon Balls discovered by Lord Champa last time..."
Faced with Whis' sarcastic tone, Beerus clenched his feline fists in frustration. "Damn it... Calling that borrowing? That was stealing! Stealing!"
"And now they've stolen someone from my universe and shamelessly sent him here to fight me!" Beerus glared at Lin Qi, who stood silently behind Quitela.
This kid looked young, but the aura of power surrounding him... infuriating! This was a promising talent they had stolen from him!
Super infuriating! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
"Heh..." Quitela didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest; instead, he retorted with righteous indignation.
"I acquired this candidate for God of Destruction through my own efforts. Why does that mean he's yours just because he came from your universe?"
"...Tch!" Beerus shot a disdainful glance at Lin Qi. "Then I'll choose... damn, I don't even have a candidate!"
"Lord Beerus, you do have a proxy," Whis reminded him kindly.
"Tch... Frieza probably isn't a match for this guy!"
Beerus' expression turned cold as he stared at Lin Qi with contempt in his eyes. "Do you want to spar with me?"
Lin Qi met Beerus' gaze, his eyes blazing with fiery determination like sparks colliding in the air.
"Let's go!" Lin Qi roared, transforming into his Super 5 form.
His silver hair swayed as his entire body became enveloped in a matching silver aura. The combination of majesty and charisma left Beerus momentarily stunned.
"A Saiyan transformation?"
"Ultra Instinct? No, that's not it!" Whis was initially shocked but quickly shook his head in denial.
"Haha... This is called Super 5!" Quitela's grin stretched from ear to ear. "The strongest form there is!"
"Indeed!" Cognac chimed in calmly. "Even stronger than Lord Quitela!"
"What did you say?" Beerus squinted, trying to gauge the truth in Cognac's words.
"Hey, hey... Why bring me into this comparison just because he's strong?" Quitela, though proud, also looked deeply awkward.
"Is that so..." Beerus cursed, glaring at Lin Qi standing before him. "Kid, which universe do you belong to?"
Daring to cross into another universe... could it be he already knows what I've done?!
"It doesn't matter which universe I belong to. I... only want to walk the path to becoming the strongest!" Lin Qi's expression was calm, but his eyes burned with unbridled fighting spirit.
"Beerus, are you going to fight me?"
"Foolish brat!" Beerus' face grew darker, and he launched a punch toward Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's eyes turned solemn, but before he could react, Beerus suddenly disappeared...
No, that wasn't right; Beerus was just too fast and had already moved behind him!
Before Lin Qi could turn around, Beerus swiped at his head with a claw.
Even though Lin Qi had been on guard, his speed was no match for Beerus. His cheek took a heavy hit.
"Bang!"
Lin Qi immediately counterattacked, but his punches and kicks missed their mark nine times out of ten. Beerus' speed was overwhelming...
This wasn't an opponent of Quitela's caliber that could be defeated simply by relying on the Super 5 form!
As expected of the strongest God of Destruction among the twelve universes—utterly unmatched!
"Hey, hey, Lin Qi, what's wrong with you? Step it up!" Quitela grew anxious upon seeing Lin Qi being completely suppressed. "Your strength shouldn't just be this much. Beerus is much stronger than me!"
"Rustle..."
Lin Qi pressed his hands into the grass, skidding backward as he dug a deep trench through the soil, revealing the brown earth beneath.
After dissipating the momentum, Lin Qi straightened up, crossing his arms in front of his chest and letting out a fierce shout. "Haaah...!"
Energy erupted from his body like a flame, the pressure spreading outward and shaking nearby rocks into the air.
"If going all out in Super 5 still isn't enough, then..."
"You've really found a gem, Quitela. His energy just keeps rising..." Whis remarked, surprised by Beerus' serious demeanor.
Cognac nodded in agreement. "Indeed... All of Lord Quitela's luck seems to have been used up on Lin Qi! He's unlucky in every other area..."
"Ultra Instinct..."
With another roar from Lin Qi, the energy surrounding him grew brighter and even emitted a five-colored radiance.
"Oh... It's shining silver now!" Beerus squinted, the mockery on his face slowly fading.
"Cognac, do you think Lin Qi can beat Beerus?" Quitela nervously clenched his fists.
"Why don't you just watch and see?" Cognac smiled faintly. What was the fun in spoiling the outcome?
"Let me show you... my newest transformation!" Lin Qi's expression turned even more serious.
"Haaaaaah!"
Power surged through him endlessly, and for a moment, an immense, formless pressure shot skyward, shaking the entire divine realm.
The gales uprooted trees, and the overwhelming force blew against the three figures by the riverbank, their clothes flapping wildly in the wind.
"Another transformation?!" Beerus watched, allowing Lin Qi to unleash his full strength.
At the eye of the energy storm, Lin Qi floated midair, his immense power scattering the surrounding dust entirely.
Even the rocks around him defied gravity, floating upward.
At that moment, Lin Qi was enveloped in radiant five-colored light. His silver hair now flowed down to his waist.
"Haaaah!"
Lin Qi continued unleashing the power of his Super 6 form.
At this moment, Super 6 form—Lin Qi had arrived!
"Hoho... Truly unexpected. Is this also a Saiyan transformation?" Whis covered his mouth with his hand as he chuckled, though his gaze was filled with astonishment.
No wonder Lord Beerus would...
The ground continued to crumble as Lin Qi's body stood tall within the dazzling light. When the radiance reached its peak, it transformed into a pillar of light that pierced the sky.
The terrifying energy exploded in an instant, and the immense pressure rippled outward without limit.
