Chapter 468: The Great Battle Is About to Begin
After Uchiha Dali devoured Angel Vados, he not only gained the ability to reverse time, but also acquired many other holy techniques.
However, just as he was reviewing the gains he had obtained, he sensed something unusual.
"Heh…"
Uchiha Dali suddenly let out a disdainful laugh. "So they've come after all?"
"In that case… I may as well settle everything here once and for all."
He murmured to himself.
The reason he made this remark was because he had sensed more than a dozen Gods of Destruction and angels heading toward Universe Six.
There was no doubt that the Grand Zeno already knew what had happened here.
After all, Champa and Fuwa shared a symbiotic link.
Once he killed God of Destruction Champa, Universe Six's Supreme Kai Fuwa naturally vanished as well.
Not to mention, he had also killed an angel—something the Grand Priest would undoubtedly detect.
Those angels were his children, after all.
Right now, it was clear that these Gods of Destruction and angels had come specifically for him.
Uchiha Dali did not choose to flee; instead, he remained where he was and waited.
He wanted to see what sorts of surprises these Gods of Destruction from the various universes might bring him—
Or perhaps, what threats.
...
Because Gods of Destruction could not directly use Instant Transmission,
they had to rely on their angels to fly them from the Grand Zeno's Realm to Universe Six, and then locate Uchiha Dali.
But even an angel's speed had limits.
They could fly at the fastest speed in the universe, but they still could not reach their destination instantly.
During this journey, Beerus continued his meditation without stopping.
The other Gods of Destruction, seeing how seriously he was preparing for battle, all followed suit.
For a time, the eleven Gods of Destruction meditated silently, cultivating while traveling.
They knew that once they found Uchiha Dali, it would become a final, unprecedented battle.
At a time like this, even a slight increase in strength mattered.
"Whis, how much longer before we arrive?"
Beerus asked while meditating with his eyes closed.
"About fifty more minutes, Lord Beerus," Whis replied.
"It's going to take that long?"
Beerus was mildly surprised.
This time, however, Whis didn't tease him. Instead, he reminded him, "Lord Beerus, please use the remaining time to further enhance your divinity."
"I'll call you once we reach our destination."
"Understood."
Beerus closed his eyes once more.
He naturally understood how important divinity was for gods like them.
It was practically the standard used to determine their combat strength.
In order to ensure his power could match—or even surpass—Uchiha Dali, improving his divinity was more critical than increasing his energy.
It was even more important than advancing his Ultra Instinct state.
But at this moment, even though he forcefully closed his eyes…
Beerus simply could not calm down enough to enter a deep meditative state.
His heart kept trembling in irregular pulses.
The longer he kept his eyes shut, instead of making progress, he felt only irritation and restlessness.
Beerus instinctively opened his eyes and glanced toward the other Gods of Destruction.
He then noticed they were experiencing the same thing.
Each one appeared uneasy, unable to maintain focus for their cultivation.
"Beerus, I heard that Uchiha Dali has fought you before."
Iwan, Universe One's God of Destruction, questioned him.
The other Gods of Destruction also looked toward Beerus.
For once, Beerus didn't mock them. Instead, he spoke seriously:
"You'll understand soon just how powerful that guy is."
"I admit, when I faced him, I felt a deep sense of dread."
"And events since then have proven my instincts correct—he really is dangerous!"
"I just don't know whether there's still time…"
After saying this, an image of Uchiha Dali surfaced in Beerus' mind.
He had already absorbed Champa and Vados.
He was undoubtedly much stronger now than when he had fought Beerus before.
What was worse, he had absorbed the power of the Dragon God Zalama as well.
That part was fatal.
At this point, Beerus wasn't sure whether the strength he had gained through training would allow him to stand against Uchiha Dali.
He had rarely ever looked this serious.
The other Gods of Destruction fell silent after hearing Beerus' words.
"It seems we must use every moment we have. Even a small increase in power is better than nothing."
No one spoke further.
They forced themselves to remain calm and continued meditating earnestly.
After voicing his worries, Beerus gradually regained some peace of mind.
He soon entered the right state, and his divinity began to rise bit by bit.
Whis quietly observed all of this.
He had to admit: among the many universal races he had seen, God of Destruction Beerus had the greatest talent for cultivation.
Even under these circumstances, his progress during meditation was extraordinarily fast.
"I just don't know… compared to Uchiha Dali, how long Lord Beerus will be able to hold out…"
Whis thought silently.
...
Uchiha Dali waited for a long time, but his enemies still had not arrived.
So, he simply sat in the void with his legs crossed and resumed meditating.
His divinity had already reached its limit.
Now, meditation benefited him mainly by allowing him to resonate with the universe's energy.
Before long, Uchiha Dali advanced from meditation into an even more profound state—one in which he felt no sense of self.
It was a state he had never entered before.
At that moment, he felt as if he had become the universe itself.
The universe's omnipresent energy echoed with him.
It was as though he could call upon the entirety of the universe's power at any time.
Uchiha Dali experimented slightly.
The moment his thoughts shifted, he realized he had transcended the void entirely—gazing down upon Universe Six from an "outsider's" godlike perspective.
He could observe every corner of the universe with ease.
He only needed a thought to appear anywhere within it.
And not just Universe Six.
As his awareness expanded further, he saw the other universes as well.
They all felt exactly the same.
At this moment, Uchiha Dali could effortlessly monitor every corner of all twelve universes at once.
"So this is the perspective of a ruler?"
"Let's try it!"
With a sudden impulse, he extended his hand toward one of the planets in Universe Six.
