Chapter 474: Divine Seal
While Whis and Beerus were speaking, Uchiha Dali had already absorbed nearly all of Vegito's energy.
He was no longer the same as before.
After consecutively absorbing the power of the Dragon God Zalama, the angel Vados, and the God of Destruction Champa, his strength now far surpassed theirs.
Naturally, his own abilities had risen sharply as well, becoming far more powerful.
Vegito was nothing more than a dried-up husk.
And now, Uchiha Dali set his sights on the others outside the barrier.
When they saw his predatory gaze, every God of Destruction felt a chill run down their spines.
Even the angels felt a cold dread.
"Whis, we must stop him!"
The angel beside the God of Destruction Iwan warned.
"Lord Beerus, we also need your assistance."
Whis's expression was grave.
He knew that even with all eleven angels combined, they still might not be able to seal Uchiha Dali.
And now, sealing him was the only way to stop him.
Without the Grand Priest or the Grand Zeno present, defeating Uchiha Dali was nothing but a fantasy.
"What should we do?"
Beerus asked.
Even though he had mastered Perfect Ultra Instinct and grown stronger on top of that, he knew that if he faced Uchiha Dali alone, his fate wouldn't be any better than Vegito's.
Right now, he was under unprecedented pressure.
"You only need to lend us your destruction energy."
Whis answered.
"In that case, let's begin."
Beerus didn't waste words. He immediately unleashed his destruction energy.
In an instant, the entire universe seemed on the verge of collapse.
The other Gods of Destruction, without hesitation, followed suit and released their power as well.
The angels, including Whis, formed a circle, raising their hands in unison as they surrounded Uchiha Dali.
"We will seal him now!"
"No one hold back!"
Under Whis's command, every angel unleashed their divine power.
Their holy energy, combined with the destruction energy of the eleven Gods of Destruction, merged into an overwhelming force that reinforced the divine barrier.
Uchiha Dali heard their conversation clearly.
When he heard they intended to seal him, he let out a cold laugh.
"You want to seal me? It won't be that easy!"
"You're just delivering more energy to me."
As soon as he said that, he attempted to use his transcendent devouring technique on the barrier before him.
But the moment he activated his technique, he froze.
There was no reaction.
There was actually no reaction at all.
His transcendent devouring technique, under the combined power of eleven angels and eleven Gods of Destruction, could no longer function.
"Impossible!"
Refusing to believe it, Uchiha Dali tried again.
But the barrier remained completely unmoved.
Unwilling to accept it, he tried a third time.
Still no effect.
Changing his approach, he wondered whether he could destroy it instead of absorbing it.
He launched a wild barrage of attacks against the divine barrier.
But the result was minimal.
In fact, it did nothing.
Outside the barrier, Whis and the other angels—who had poured nearly all their power into forging the seal—were already drenched in sweat.
But seeing Uchiha Dali flailing helplessly inside, they finally breathed a little easier.
"The reinforcement is complete. With the divine barrier strengthened by the destruction of the Gods of Destruction, even if Uchiha Dali somehow forces it open, he'll be immediately hit with unimaginable destructive damage."
"Not that he's capable of breaking it anyway."
Whis said confidently.
Beerus wiped the sweat from his forehead and quietly exhaled.
"Whis, how long can this barrier seal him?"
He asked.
If they couldn't defeat or destroy such an overwhelmingly powerful opponent, then unless he could be sealed permanently, he would remain a threat to every universe.
Fortunately, Whis gave him a reassuring answer.
"Lord Beerus, rest assured—so long as we angels exist, the divine seal will exist."
"Uchiha Dali will never escape."
Hearing this, not only Beerus but all the Gods of Destruction finally let out sighs of relief.
Angels were unique beings.
Even if the Grand Zeno destroyed a universe, the God of Destruction would disappear, but the angels would remain completely unaffected.
In theory, unless the Grand Zeno personally acted, no force in existence could erase an angel.
They were eternal.
"Lord Beerus, let us return and report to the Grand Zeno."
Whis casually waved his staff.
A beam of light emerged from the black sphere, absorbing the divine barrier—and Uchiha Dali sealed inside—into it.
"Whis, restore this place."
Beerus pointed ahead at the vast empty void.
This had once been a brilliant star region.
Dozens of galaxies had existed here, home to countless civilizations.
But during Vegito and Uchiha Dali's battle, every galaxy had been destroyed by Vegito's attacks.
A universe's level of civilization was an important factor in its overall evaluation.
It was also essential in the Grand Zeno's scoring of each universe.
Dozens of galaxies, countless civilizations—gone without warning.
For Universe 7's ranking, this was a devastating blow.
If the Grand Zeno became upset, Beerus might end up joining Vegito.
He didn't want that.
"But Lord Beerus, I used up nearly all my energy just now. I can't use Temporal Rewind at the moment."
Whis replied.
"Can't use it, or don't want to?"
Beerus narrowed his eyes.
Whis didn't answer directly. Instead he said, "Rather than that, Lord Beerus, I have a better candidate in mind."
"Oh?"
Curious, Beerus followed Whis's gaze to the right.
There was only a stretch of empty space.
It looked perfectly normal.
But at that moment, both Beerus and the other Gods of Destruction sensed it.
Someone was there.
Realizing he had been discovered, the Ancestral Dragon slowly emerged from hiding.
Seeing who it was, Beerus narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't this the super divine dragon that was always beside Uchiha Dali?"
