Chapter 463: Zalama's Plea for Help
Hearing Uchiha Dali respond in such a manner, Zalama immediately sensed danger.
This kid was now radiating open hostility.
Completely different from his earlier polite attitude.
Zalama began to panic.
He threatened, "Uchiha Dali, I am a transcendent being! I am beyond the Grand Zeno's authority!"
"If you dare lay a hand on me, you'll have trouble of your own later!!!"
As he spoke, he again struggled fiercely, attempting to pull back his power.
But Uchiha Dali ignored his threat entirely, doing whatever he pleased as he continued greedily absorbing and refining Zalama's energy.
With the energy inside him draining faster and faster, Zalama's expression grew increasingly grim.
For the first time, he felt the threat of death.
If he allowed the energy within him to be completely absorbed, even a god like him would certainly die.
And what made it even more ridiculous was that he had brought all of this upon himself.
If he hadn't insisted on teaching this reckless kid a lesson earlier, things never would've escalated to this point.
Zalama regretted it.
But even more than that, he felt rage and unwillingness.
He couldn't understand how he could have possibly lost to this kid.
He couldn't accept it.
At this moment, as he struggled desperately, he roared wildly.
Thunderous dragon cries echoed through the boundless starry sky.
They spread across galaxies, audible even from distant systems.
This was Dragon God Zalama's final outburst before death.
He wanted the entire universe to know what Uchiha Dali was doing to him.
Perhaps this was his last hope.
He wanted the Grand Zeno and the Grand Priest to notice what was happening.
As long as he drew them here, he might have a chance to survive.
But Zalama's desperate move only enraged Uchiha Dali. His gaze turned icy.
"Are you looking for death?"
He narrowed his eyes.
Zalama snorted coldly. "If you refuse to stop, then let your gods judge who's right and wrong!"
"Let the Grand Zeno speak reason, Uchiha Dali!"
Zalama's final hope was the Grand Zeno.
As he said, he wasn't under the Grand Zeno's jurisdiction — he was a transcendent being.
Even the Grand Zeno had to give him some respect.
If he could lure the Grand Zeno here, he might survive.
And his tactic worked.
Far away in the Grand Zeno's realm, the Grand Zeno was discussing the details of the Tournament of Power with various Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais when he immediately sensed Zalama's call.
At the same time, the Grand Priest sensed it as well.
"What's happening, Grand Priest?"
The Grand Zeno looked curiously at his attendant.
The Grand Priest closed his eyes, sensing carefully.
Then he replied, "Grand Zeno, Lord Dragon God Zalama's aura is weakening."
"He appears to be in trouble and is calling for our help."
Hearing this, every God of Destruction and Supreme Kai present turned pale.
Even Angels like Whis and Vados showed hints of surprise.
Dragon God Zalama.
They all knew exactly who he was.
A being whose status stood on par with the Grand Zeno.
Not in terms of raw power, but in terms of position — in all universes, Zalama held a transcendent status.
Even the Angels preferred not to provoke him.
So the question was—
If someone that powerful and that high-ranking was calling for help…
What kind of danger was he facing?
And who in existence could threaten such a supreme being?
Because of the Grand Priest's words, the Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction grew increasingly uneasy.
Their minds raced with speculation.
And they weren't the only ones curious.
The Grand Zeno himself was fascinated.
"What happened to Zalama? Why is he asking us for help?"
He continued questioning the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest, ever patient, explained, "It appears he is fighting someone, and the other party is stealing his energy, Grand Zeno."
"Huh?"
The Grand Zeno let out a soft, childish cry of surprise. "Someone dares steal Dragon God Zalama's energy? That sounds really impressive."
"Who could be strong enough to do that?"
Beerus couldn't help asking.
The Grand Zeno and Grand Priest both turned their heads and looked straight at him.
That single look made Beerus slap his hand over his mouth and fall silent immediately.
But the Grand Zeno was not angry with him. Instead, he grew more curious.
"Who could have that kind of strength?"
"Not entirely certain, Grand Zeno."
The Grand Priest shook his head.
Though in truth, he already knew.
He simply chose not to say it.
The Grand Zeno had no doubts and instead asked, "Then which universe is Dragon God Zalama in right now?"
"He is in Universe Six, Grand Zeno."
The Grand Priest answered.
"Then let's erase Universe Six."
The Grand Zeno raised his hand casually.
This terrified Universe Six's God of Destruction Champa and Supreme Kai Fuwa.
Their faces went green as they dropped to their knees begging for mercy.
Even the Grand Priest stepped forward to stop him. "Grand Zeno, you cannot do that just yet."
"Why not?"
The Grand Zeno tilted his head.
"Because Lord Dragon God Zalama is still there."
"If you erase Universe Six, what will become of Lord Zalama?"
The Grand Priest's gentle reminder made the Grand Zeno give up the idea.
Instead, he asked, "Then how do we help Zalama?"
This time, Beerus spoke up.
"Grand Zeno, didn't you send Uchiha Dali to find the Super Dragon Balls?"
"And if I remember correctly, Dragon God Zalama is the creator of the Super Dragon Balls, yes?"
"Maybe… isn't there some kind of connection?"
Beerus wasn't speaking recklessly.
From the moment the Grand Priest mentioned Zalama was in trouble, his very first thought had been Uchiha Dali.
So now, he voiced his guess directly.
