Zeno: Mr. Goten, Grand Priest Was Reckless

To be honest, all Zeno knew about Goten was from rumors. He had also heard that in another timeline, Goten had killed both Zeno and the Grand Priest. However, he had never witnessed Goten's strength firsthand.

For so many years, no one had ever been his match. This meant that the Grand Priest had absolute confidence in his own power.

But at this moment, the energy radiating from Goten was overwhelming. Just a trace of his aura made the Grand Priest feel an unprecedented sense of despair.

He had never encountered such a powerful force before. He had never felt such crushing hopelessness.

'I... I'm not his opponent at all. Damn it! How can this guy be so strong?'

The Grand Priest, who had been so confident just moments ago, now looked like a withered plant struck by frost. His entire aura collapsed in an instant.

Even if he transformed into his True Angel form, he wouldn't even be one percent of Goten's power. There was no suspense in this battle—he had no chance of winning. If they fought, the outcome would be clear: he would be killed.

At this moment, both Zeno and the Grand Priestess wore expressions of shock and deep concern. Even they hadn't expected Goten's full strength to be this terrifying.

Clearly, this was far beyond their level.

"W-What a terrifying power... Is this the strength of Mr. Goten? I can't believe someone in this world can be this strong!"

Twist and the other Angels were completely stunned. None of them had ever imagined that someone could surpass both Zeno and the Grand Priest—let alone by such a vast margin.

The expressions of shock and fear on Zeno and the Grand Priest's faces made it evident.

How powerful was Goten?

The two guards behind Zeno were frozen in place, completely dumbfounded. They didn't dare make a move.

They had already been erased by Goten's power before. If they acted now, it would be a death sentence. Without Zeno's command, they didn't dare to move a muscle.

Just as everyone stood in stunned silence, Goten moved.

His body vanished in an instant, like a ghost.

In the next second, he was in front of the Grand Priest.

Then, he threw a punch.

A direct hit to the Grand Priest's stomach.

Neither the Grand Priest nor Zeno had time to react.

Boom!

Wow!

With a low crashing sound, a mouthful of blood sprayed from the Grand Priest's mouth. He clutched his stomach as his body bent forward like a shrimp, then collapsed onto the ground, vomiting uncontrollably.

The power gap between them was simply too vast!

Even though Goten had used only a fraction of his strength—one ten-thousandth—it was still enough to seriously injure the Grand Priest.

After vomiting several times, the Grand Priest reverted to his normal form. Clearly, he no longer had the strength to maintain his True Angel state.

"This guy... With just a single punch, he completely incapacitated the Grand Priest? He's even stronger than I thought. I don't know if getting involved with him is a blessing or a disaster."

The Grand Priestess looked at the defeated Grand Priest, struggling on the ground. Her emotions were complicated. Logically, she should be happy to see him in such a state. But now, she realized that dealing with someone like Goten was far too dangerous.

From the way the fight played out, it was clear that Goten could have killed the Grand Priest instantly if he wanted to.

This also meant that even Zeno was no match for Goten.

"Mr. Goten, let's stop here! The Grand Priest was reckless just now. I will make sure to punish him later! I hope you don't take this matter to heart. We never intended to be your enemies."

Seeing the Grand Priest lose all combat ability after a single attack, Zeno had no choice but to lower his pride and address Goten respectfully.

If this conflict continued, it was highly likely that both he and the Grand Priest would perish here today. Under these circumstances, he had no option but to submit.

"You don't need to worry so much, Zeno. I'm not interested in killing you anymore. The Grand Priest was just too arrogant, so I decided to teach him a lesson."

Seeing Zeno's serious expression, with traces of fear, Goten spoke calmly.

In fact, seeing their fearful expressions made him feel even more satisfied.

It gave him a greater sense of accomplishment.

Now that Zeno had backed down, there was no need to kill them.

After all, they were the rulers of an entire dimensional universe. If they were truly eliminated, the balance of the universe would be thrown into chaos. Without any real deterrents, powerful evil beings would slaughter mortals without restraint.

"Then... That's good."

Hearing that Goten had no intention of killing them, Zeno finally relaxed a little.

"Mr. Goten, let's end things here! You've already punished the Grand Priest, and we've seen enough. Let's go."

The Grand Priestess didn't want things to escalate any further and quickly spoke up.

In truth, she didn't care much about the Grand Priest's life or death. What concerned her was the possibility that Goten would go on a killing spree. If he did, they would all be in danger.

Seeing the Grand Priest so humiliated today, she knew it was time to end this.

"Are you sure about that? We had a deal—I helped you teach the Grand Priest a lesson. In return, you promised to take me out of this place. I hope you keep your word. If you break it, your fate will be even worse than the Grand Priest's."

Goten glanced at the Grand Priestess and spoke in a calm, steady voice.

Despite how flat his tone was, the Grand Priestess still shivered.

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Goten."

She quickly nodded.

Fortunately, she did possess the ability to travel between timelines.
