At the same time, Whis secretly tightened his grip on the Angel scepter in his hand.
If Talot really was erased by Beerus's Origin Hakai, then he would have to reverse time in the Null Realm, bring Talot back to life, and stop this battle from continuing.
"Whis, you seem to care quite a lot about this Saiyan. Are you thinking of keeping him in your Universe 7?" Vados's gaze shifted as she said with a light smile.
As Whis's older sister, her strength was higher, and she had already sensed that Talot's origins were extraordinary and that he was not someone from this world.
And she understood her younger brother better than anyone. With just one glance, she could tell what Whis was thinking.
To be honest, she also felt that it would be far too wasteful for such a powerful existence to be erased just like that. If he were kept around, perhaps he could still prove useful in the future.
"Sister, this is Lord Grand Priest's intention." The moment Whis said this, both Vados and Champa lost their calm.
Lord Grand Priest wanted this person to remain.
As a supreme existence second only to Lord Zeno, even the Grand Priest had already taken notice of the commotion this time! Moreover, he had even issued such an instruction.
"How about I go help that brat and stop Beerus while I'm at it?!" Champa was startled. Gritting his teeth, he prepared to move and intervene.
As Gods of Destruction, they were actually nothing more than ants who could be removed from their post at will before the Grand Priest.
Beerus was his brother. Although the two of them constantly clashed, there was still a bond of brotherhood between them.
Just as he was about to take action, Vados stopped him.
"What the f*ck are you doing, Vados?!" Champa cursed anxiously.
If they delayed any longer and that brat really was destroyed by Beerus, things would become troublesome.
"Lord Champa, please remain calm. The real show has only just begun. That person from another timeline has not lost yet, and he is still far from displaying his true strength," Vados reminded him.
"What did you say?! How is that possible?!" Champa was dumbfounded by her words.
For a Saiyan to become this powerful was already unbelievable enough, and now she was telling him that this still wasn't his full strength?
Had the times changed too quickly, or had he, a God of Destruction, fallen behind?
...
On the battlefield between Beerus and Talot.
At this moment, Talot had closed his eyes and given up resisting. A portion of his body had already vanished under the devastation of the Origin Hakai.
In Beerus's eyes, Talot had already accepted his fate and given up resisting.
"Looks like you've already come to understand what your fate will be. Since you've entertained me for so long, I'll reluctantly acknowledge your strength. Among all the people I have fought, you can rank in the top two," Beerus admitted Talot's strength, granting him dignity before his death.
The strong had always respected the strong.
Especially someone like Talot, a powerful opponent capable of contending with him, who deserved even greater respect.
If it had been a God of Destruction from another universe facing Talot, the one who got killed would probably have been the God of Destruction instead. Unfortunately, this brat's opponent was him.
He, God of Destruction Beerus, was the undisputed strongest God of Destruction!
"Only top two? Being acknowledged by a God of Destruction might also be an honor for me, but... it seems you're celebrating a little too early." The corners of Talot's mouth rose, revealing a smirk.
Seeing that Talot could still smile at a time like this, Beerus raised an eyebrow as an ominous feeling surfaced in his heart.
Could this brat still be hiding something?!
Immediately afterward, the ominous premonition in Beerus's heart came true.
Talot's body suddenly stopped disintegrating, then visibly restored itself to the state it had been in before being destroyed.
"What?!" Beerus's eyes widened in alarm at the sight.
Hakai's Ultimate Technique had been neutralized just like that?!
What kind of joke was this?! What had this brat done?!
'Buzz~!!!'
A faint purple light emerged around Talot's body.
A Power of Destruction in no way inferior to Beerus's erupted with Talot at its center. The appearance of this ferocious God Ki caused the entire Null Realm to tremble, dispersing all the chaos as purple divine light illuminated the boundless darkness.
"This power... You brat actually... mastered the Power of Destruction?!!" Beerus exclaimed in utter shock.
There was no mistaking it. This feeling, this divine pressure—it was undoubtedly the Power of Destruction!
At this moment, Beerus wasn't the only one dumbfounded. Even Champa, Vados, and Whis, who were watching from the sidelines, revealed expressions of disbelief.
If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have dared believe that this Saiyan, whose strength was already absurdly powerful, had actually mastered the Power of Destruction as well!
This was not something one could comprehend through training alone. Just who was this Saiyan's master?
[Could it be that, in another timeline, I was the one who guided him in training the Power of Destruction?!]Whis's heart jolted as he already guessed the answer.
Talot not only carried the inheritance of Ultra Instinct, but also the inheritance of the Power of Destruction, along with that Angel mark left by himself deep within Talot's soul...
