Chapter 214: Aura Of Erasing Laws

Beerus [in mind]: 'What? What's going on? My fist won't move forward!This can't be real. I've been a God of Destruction for hundreds of millions of years, but nothing like this has ever happened.'

(Beerus was stunned, his mind overwhelmed by shock.)

(His fist was just centimeters away from Goten, yet he couldn't move it any further.)

(It was as if an invisible force had completely stopped him.)

(No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through this barrier.)

(In all his time as a God of Destruction, he had never encountered anything like this-not even Whis was capable of such a feat.)

(Whis could dodge his attacks, but this? This was different.)

(This guy hadn't even moved, yet his mere aura had stopped Beerus' attack.)

(It was terrifying.)

Whis: "My god... he's stronger than I thought. There's no doubt about it. Even an Angel wouldn't stand a chance against him. And the energy inside him... it's becoming more and more familiar."

(Whis' usually calm face showed a rare moment of fear.)

(To block Beerus' strongest attack without any effort was beyond comprehension.)

(In the entire Seventh Universe, no one should be able to do that -not even himself.)

(The only explanation was that the one standing before them possessed power leagues above Beerus'.)

(Perhaps even beyond an Angel's imagination.)

(More importantly, something about Goten's energy was eerily familiar, yet Whis couldn't pinpoint what it was.)

Beerus: "Bastard! This has to be a trick! You think you can fool me with this cheap trick?"

(Beerus felt humiliated.)

(The idea that a mere mortal could possess such power was insulting.)

(Just a glance from him had rendered Beerus' attack useless.)

(It had to be some kind of deception!)

(If he used his full strength, he would shatter whatever trick Goten was using!)

(With a furious roar, Beerus launched another relentless assault.)

(Swish!... Swish!... Swish!...)

(Fist after fist, his attacks cut through the air like blades, unleashing a storm of destruction.)

(But no matter how many times he struck, none of them landed.)

(It was as if an impenetrable wall separated them.)

(He had thrown what felt like hundreds of millions of blows, yet he couldn't even graze Goten.)

(Beerus finally realized the truth-this wasn't a trick.)

(The gap between them was real, and it was insurmountable.)

(Whis had been right all along.)

(Goten's strength exceeded their wildest imaginations.)

(To continue provoking him would be a grave mistake.)

(At that moment, Beerus' fighting spirit completely crumbled.)

(Just as mortals feared overwhelming forces, even gods felt fear when faced with absolute power.)

Goten: "Beerus, I told you, you're not my opponent. Even if you increased your strength by hundreds of millions of times, you still wouldn't be able to challenge me. But I don't wish to harm you. Leave now."

(Goten's voice was calm, but his words carried an undeniable weight.)

(If it had been a God of Destruction from another universe, he wouldn't have hesitated to erase them.)

(But Beerus was different.)

(To him, Beerus held a significance that surpassed even Zeno and the Grand Priest combined.)

(Beerus' expression darkened.)

(If he retreated now, his pride as a God of Destruction would be shattered.)

(If the other Gods of Destruction heard about this, he would be ridiculed across the multiverse.)

(But if he stayed... he couldn't win.)

(For the first time in his existence, Beerus was caught in an impossible dilemma.)

(Fight and be utterly humiliated-or leave and be utterly humiliated.)

(At that moment, Whis stepped forward, appearing instantly between them.)

(He turned to Beerus and spoke.)

Whis: "Lord Beerus, we need to leave Earth immediately. With all due respect, you have no chance against him. Even an Angel wouldn't be able to win. To continue this fight would be a foolish decision."

(Whis had already felt the extent of Goten's power.)

(The fact that he hadn't attacked Beerus yet was the only reason the God of Destruction was still alive.)

(If Goten had wanted to kill him, he would have already been nothing more than a lifeless corpse.)

(Beerus struggled with the decision, his pride warring with his fear.)

(Meanwhile, in the Temple of Zeno.)

(Suddenly, both Zeno and the Grand Priest's expressions changed.)

(Their faces paled as an intense wave of shock washed over them.)

(Zeno turned to the Grand Priest, his voice filled with disbelief.)

Zeno: "Grand Priest, did you just feel that? That incredibly familiar power?"

(Just moments ago, he had sensed something impossible-an energy identical to his own erasing law.)

(No one in existence should possess that power except for him.)

(Even the Grand Priest wasn't qualified to wield it.)

(As for the Gods of Destruction and Angels? That was completely out of the question.)

(So then... who did it belong to?)

Grand Priest: "Yes, Lord Zeno. I felt it as well. It's unmistakable-it's your power of law. This is truly unbelievable. That power was not any weaker than yours. When did such a being appear in this universe?"

(The Grand Priest's voice was grave.)

(The energy he had just felt was beyond mere strength-it was monstrous.)

(Only Zeno had ever wielded such a power.)

(It was absolutely impossible for a second being to possess it.)
