Chapter 279: The Battle of Power: The Battle of Toppo, the God of Destruction
In the boundless fantasy universe of Dragon Ball, the arena of the Tournament of Power is like a Shura purgatory tightly wrapped in blood-red fog. The setting sun is like blood-red threads, pouring down on the battlefield like tears, creating a suffocating atmosphere of tension for this fierce battle that concerns the survival of the universe, as if the fate of the entire universe is hanging by a thread at this moment.
Golden Frieza stood proudly on the field, while Toppo on the opposite side was rising in momentum like a turbulent undercurrent. Frieza's mouth curled up in an arc of extreme contempt, as if that arc could reduce everything in the world to dust. He crossed his arms over his chest and let out a series of sharp and piercing "ho ho ho" laughs, which were like sharp blades that cut through the heavy air. Then he sneered with disdain on his face: "Toppo, with your mediocre skills, you dare to show off in front of me? Stop having those unrealistic daydreams! Back then, the Tenth Universe tried to use the power of the God of Destruction to compete with me, but in the end, I crushed them like an ant. How strong can you be?"
Toppo's aura was surging, and the powerful aura seemed to be substantial, causing the surrounding space to ripple with trembling waves, as if the space was under unspeakable pressure. Frieza's heart suddenly shuddered, and a trace of surprise flashed through his mind like lightning, but he immediately snorted coldly and said calmly: "It's just bluffing, watch how I crush you completely!" At this moment, Toppo successfully transformed into the form of a God of Destruction. In an instant, a powerful destructive energy surged out like a super volcanic eruption, and the aura of destruction seemed to completely devour the entire stadium and even the surrounding space, turning it into nothingness. Frieza's eyes flashed a trace of panic, but as the emperor of the universe, he forced this panic to be suppressed, and on the surface he still maintained his arrogant appearance.
At first, Frieza raised one hand nonchalantly, pretending to be relaxed, and continued to taunt: "With just this insignificant energy, you still want to hurt me? It's ridiculous and stupid!" However, when the destructive energy like a raging beast hit his defense like a mountain, the contemptuous smile on his face froze in an instant, and then his face turned pale as paper, without any blood. He clearly felt that this power far exceeded all his previous expectations, and compared with the energy of the God of Destruction of the Tenth Universe, it was a world of difference. Frieza was immediately shocked, and his forehead was instantly covered with dense beads of sweat, rolling down like beads that had broken off the string. He shouted in horror: "How can it be so powerful? This is not even a force of the same magnitude!" At this moment, his body was shaking violently under the pressure of this powerful force. His legs seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every inch of his muscle was cramping in pain, as if he would be completely crushed into powder by this terrifying force in the next second.
After Toppo successfully transformed into the form of the God of Destruction, he raised his head and let out an extremely arrogant laugh: "Breakthrough, hahahaha, I actually possess the power of God with a mortal body! From now on, the entire universe will tremble under my feet!" The laughter was full of pride and arrogance, as if he had become the master of the universe, controlling the life and death of all things.
Golden Frieza's face was filled with disbelief, and his anger erupted like a raging volcano. He roared at the top of his lungs, "This is absolutely impossible! Universe 11 is so shameless that they openly let the God of Destruction participate in the war. Then where are the rules followed by this Tournament of Power? Your actions are simply a blasphemy against the entire universe!"
Toppo's eyes were cold and resolute, like two cold blades, stabbing straight at Frieza, and he responded coldly: "Rules? In the face of absolute power, the so-called rules are nothing but worthless pieces of paper. Today is the end of you and the Seventh Universe, both of you will be reduced to ashes in this endless destruction!" After that, he waved his hand violently, and in an instant, a more powerful and terrifying destructive energy, like a black prehistoric beast, carried a majestic momentum of destroying the world, and pounced on Frieza with the force of thunder. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, making a heart-pounding "sizzling" sound, as if the whole world was howling in pain under the ravages of this power.
Frieza had never expected that this energy would be so terrifying. At this critical moment of life and death, he desperately mobilized every bit of strength in his body to resist this catastrophic attack. The destructive energy like a wild beast was like a towering mountain, suppressing him heavily, as if to ruthlessly crush his will and his body together, making him completely disappear from this universe. Frieza's teeth were clattering, and his face was distorted and deformed due to extreme force, becoming hideous and terrifying. His body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like a torrential rain, soaking his clothes in an instant. His heart was filled with shock and unwillingness, and he roared like a trapped beast, "How is this possible? I have already entered the ultimate form, why is it so difficult to resist this terrible destructive energy? Could it be that Toppo has really become a true God of Destruction? I will never accept this, never!" Although he tried his best and a strong air wave burst out from his body, trying to break through the shackle-like oppression, he was still sweating profusely. The whole situation was already precarious, as if he would be doomed if he was not careful.
At the edge of the arena, Lin Feng was watching the battle intently, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through every subtle change on the battlefield. He was originally a traveler from Earth, and he knew the secrets of various powers in the world of Dragon Ball very well. At the same time, he was deeply obsessed with the great concept of Super Seminary that tried his best to create super warriors to fight against high-dimensional invasion. He himself has Broly's bloodline, can transform into the legendary Super Saiyan, and has mastered the powerful power of the Super Saiyan God. However, he has been struggling to find a way to perfectly combine these two powers, but he has never been able to do so.
When he saw Frieza struggling under the horrific destructive energy, as if he would be completely submerged at any time, a dazzling light like a meteor flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and an extremely bold idea flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning: "This horrific destructive energy may be the perfect opportunity for me to stimulate my potential and realize the fusion of the two forces! If I can seize this opportunity, I can not only save Frieza, but also break through my own limits!" Almost at the moment when this idea just took shape, Lin Feng did not hesitate to instantly activate the fastest light speed mode he mastered. In an instant, his figure turned into an illusory stream of light, and the speed was so fast that it seemed to be able to completely tear apart time and space. At a lightning speed, he rushed straight into the surging destructive energy.
As soon as Lin Feng came into contact with the destructive energy, he immediately activated the "Divine Air Control Method" taught by the old Kai King God. This "Divine Air Control Method" originated from a mysterious and ancient inheritance. Its "Divine Air Control Secret" contains profound cosmic truths: "Control the air as your mind moves, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is in your arms. When yin and yang are harmonized and the meridians are connected, the spiritual light bursts through the sky." The essence of this method is to establish a subtle and mysterious communication bridge between the practitioner and the natural energy, and then deeply stimulate the huge potential hidden in the practitioner. Lin Feng was seen with a strange and soft light all over his body. The light was like countless smart tentacles, gently and firmly spreading towards the destructive energy around him, as if he was having a silent dialogue with this powerful and dangerous force, greedily absorbing the majestic power contained in it. As the destructive energy poured into his body like a surging torrent, Lin Feng's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. Every inch of his skin seemed to be suffering from the pain of being cut by a thousand knives, as if countless needles were piercing his body at the same time, but his eyes became more and more determined, like the stars that never go out in the cold night, shining brightly, exuding an unshakable belief and determination. He went all out to guide this power, trying to integrate it perfectly into himself, although the process was extremely difficult, every minute and every second was like wandering on the edge of life and death, and he would be shattered to pieces if he was not careful, but he did not intend to retreat at all, and there was only one incomparably firm belief in his heart: he must successfully integrate this power and change the crisis in front of him!
As Lin Feng tried to absorb the energy, he keenly felt Frieza's struggle and perseverance under the powerful destructive energy. Although he and Frieza did not have a deep friendship, and it could even be said that Frieza's past actions were not pleasing, at this critical moment of battle, a subtle tacit understanding was formed between them. Lin Feng concentrated all his energy and conveyed a firm message to Frieza through the fluctuation of Qi: "Frieza, I'll help you! Grit your teeth and hold on. As long as I succeed in the fusion, we still have a chance to turn around. We must not give up!"
Frieza's heart was shaken, and he clearly felt the message conveyed by Lin Feng. Although he was full of anger and unwillingness, and was full of resistance to asking others for help, in this extremely dangerous situation, he knew that only by cooperating with Lin Feng could he find a glimmer of hope. So, he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain that surged like a tide in his body, and used up the last bit of his strength to continue to fight against the terrifying destructive energy. At the same time, he responded in his heart: "Don't let me down, kid! If you can't succeed, then we will all be finished, and the entire seventh universe will be doomed!"
Finally, with Lin Feng's unremitting efforts, he successfully absorbed the huge destructive energy into his body. However, the fusion process was a hundred times more difficult than he had imagined before. His body seemed to be pulled by two powerful forces from different directions at the same time. The pain was like being in hell, making it almost unbearable for him. His aura was disordered, and sometimes he burst out with the majestic golden-green giant ape power, his muscles bulged, and his body seemed to be constantly expanding under the drive of this power, showing a primitive and wild power; sometimes he flashed the dazzling light of the Super Saiyan God, sacred and majestic, as if representing a supreme power beyond the mundane. These two forces rushed around in his body, incompatible with each other, like several crazy beasts rampaging in his body. Every fierce collision made Lin Feng feel a kind of torture that he didn't want to die, as if his body would be torn into pieces by this powerful force at any time.
Lin Feng clenched his teeth tightly and let out a dull roar: "Ah! Why... can't they merge!" His eyes were covered with spider-web-like bloodshot due to extreme pain, but his eyes revealed an unyielding determination. He forced himself not to faint, with only one extremely firm thought in his mind: "I must understand the essence of these two forces and find a way to perfectly merge them, no matter what the cost!"
He tried hard to recall the martial arts philosophy that Master Kame had taught him earnestly: "The key to martial arts is to find inner balance, and the same is true for strength. Only by finding that balance in the heart can you truly control the strength and use it for your own benefit." At the same time, Mr. Popo's steady and wise voice also echoed clearly in his mind: "In the face of powerful forces, you must always remain calm and use a peaceful mind to see through its essence. Only by truly understanding strength can you control it and become the master of it."
Lin Feng relied on his tenacious will to search for a way to merge in this vortex of pain. He carefully guided the two forces in his body, trying to make them flow according to his will. However, every time he made a tiny progress, he would be ruthlessly dispersed by the other force, as if there was a natural resistance between the two forces, unwilling to merge with each other. The violent destructive energy, the wildness of the giant ape power, and the purity of the super Saiyan God power, these three completely different forces formed a chaotic battlefield in his body, causing his body to bear great pain and pressure.
But Lin Feng was not discouraged. He kept adjusting his breath, trying to find a subtle order in this chaotic and disordered situation. His body was shaking violently in pain, and tiny cracks appeared on his skin due to the violent impact of the force. The bright red blood slowly seeped out, gradually dyeing his clothes red, and smudged out strange and gorgeous blood flowers on his clothes. However, his eyes became more and more determined, which was a strong desire to control power, a persistent pursuit of breaking through himself, as if announcing to the entire universe his firm belief that he would never give up.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena was tense to the extreme, as if time had stopped at this moment. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lin Feng, as if the fate of the entire universe depended on him. Everyone secretly wondered in their hearts, could Lin Feng successfully tame these two powerful forces and add chips to the victory of the Seventh Universe? On the other hand, facing Toppo in the form of the God of Destruction, could Frieza and No. 17 find an effective response and defeat this nearly invincible opponent? The entire arena was shrouded in a tense and solidified atmosphere, as if the air had completely frozen. Everyone was looking forward to the final result of this power contest, their hearts full of expectations and worries...
