The Grand Priest Comes, Beerus Is Terrified

"Could it be that we were mistaken? In this dimensional universe, besides me, who else is qualified to wield the power of erasure?"

Zeno shook his head, immediately rejecting the possibility. The power he sensed felt identical to his own, yet he couldn't believe it. In this world, only he had the right to control such a force. No one else should possess it.

"Impossible, Lord Zeno. If only one of us had felt it, we might have dismissed it as a mistake. But since we both sensed it at the same time, it can't be a coincidence."

The Grand Priest shook his head and addressed Zeno. If only one of them had felt the presence of that power, he might have doubted it. But since both of them had the same sensation, there was no mistake.

Somehow, someone in this world had mastered the same power of erasure as Lord Zeno.

"This..."

Zeno's expression darkened. No matter who it was, possessing such power was unforgivable. It was the ultimate challenge to his authority as the supreme god. Only he was allowed to wield such a force. No one else had the right.

"Grand Priest, find out what happened immediately! Whoever has gained this power must be eliminated completely! This world cannot allow a second being to wield such a force..."

[T/N: Co….Courting Death!]

Zeno abandoned his usual childish demeanor, speaking with unexpected seriousness. Not only was this an insult to his supreme rule, but if an outsider possessed such a law, it could spell disaster for the entire dimensional universe.

This threat had to be eliminated before it grew out of control.

"Understood, Lord Zeno. I will act immediately."

The Grand Priest nodded and raised his right hand. A glowing angelic staff materialized in his grip. He lightly tapped the ground, and a purple rift in space appeared before him. With a single step, he vanished through it.

Zeno remained silent, his expression grim. He had no idea who had mastered his power of erasure, but whoever it was had to be destroyed. No one else had the right to control such a force.

...…

Meanwhile, on Earth...

After a long internal struggle, Beerus finally made up his mind—he would leave.

The reason was simple: if he stayed any longer, he might actually be killed.

Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, he had no intention of meeting his end now. Besides, the powerful being before him didn't seem intent on killing him just yet.

"May I know your name, sir?"

At that moment, Whis turned to Goten and asked. He planned to report everything to Zeno and the Grand Priest, so knowing the man's name would make the report more complete. Perhaps through his identity, they could uncover more information.

"My name is Son Goten... I am not from this timeline."

Goten replied calmly. Unlike Beerus, he didn't have as much respect for Whis, but he didn't find him particularly annoying either. In fact, Whis had played a role in his growth, indirectly acting as a mentor.

"You're not from this timeline? That explains it. I've never sensed such divine power before."

Whis nodded in realization. That was why he had never detected such a familiar presence before—nor had he ever encountered such overwhelming divine energy. If Goten had come from another timeline, everything made sense.

"Let's go, Whis."

Beerus turned away, his voice bitter. Today had been a humiliating experience. He had originally come in search of a Super Saiyan God, yet he had found nothing. Worse, he had suffered immense humiliation. Even after using all his strength, he hadn't been able to land a single hit.

If Champa learned about this, he would undoubtedly mock him for eternity.

But there was no other choice. Goten was simply too strong. There was nothing he could do.

"Yes, Lord Beerus."

Whis nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, a sudden purple rift split open in the sky. A small figure, standing only 1.4 meters tall, emerged from it. His slicked-back hair gleamed under the light.

It was the Grand Priest.

The moment he appeared, a cold glint flashed in Son Goten's eyes. Although he had already killed the Grand Priest from another timeline, just seeing this face again irritated him. It made him want to slap him across the face twice just on principle.

"L-Lord Grand Priest!!"

"Father!!"

Both Beerus and Whis were stunned. Beerus' initial surprise quickly turned to sheer terror.

'Why is the Grand Priest here?! Could it be that he sensed my battle with a mortal and came to punish me?! That has to be it. I'm doomed!'

Beerus immediately assumed the worst. The Grand Priest rarely left Zeno's palace. If he had personally descended to the Seventh Universe, there could be only one explanation—Beerus had broken divine law by fighting a mortal.

If Zeno and the Grand Priest had decided to punish him, he could be erased on the spot. His body trembled as he faced his worst fear.
