Chapter 478: A New Target — Sealing the Super Dragon
The Ancestral Dragon was still imagining that if he waited one year for his wish-granting power to recover, he could help Uchiha Dali break free from the divine seal.
But he never expected that in just a brief moment, the entire universe would suddenly go dark.
Everything vanished—the brilliant stars, the worlds filled with life and civilization, the countless galaxies.
All of it was gone.
Universe Seven had become nothing but an endless abyss of black.
The Ancestral Dragon froze on the spot.
"Could it be… Lord Zeno has acted?"
He instantly realized what might have happened.
If a God of Destruction had done this, the destruction would never take this form.
Only Zeno could erase every last thing in an entire universe in an instant.
Snapping back to himself, the Ancestral Dragon hurriedly released his senses to investigate.
It was exactly as he feared.
Nothing remained.
"Could it be that even my master…"
He couldn't bring himself to believe it.
His senses expanded outward again and again, sweeping through every inch of the dead universe.
After several passes, he suddenly detected something—his expression wavered between disbelief and excitement.
"This is…"
He was shocked—and delighted.
Somehow, his senses had found a trace of a familiar aura.
It was faint—so faint that even he, with all his strength and full sensing ability, could barely detect it.
But the Ancestral Dragon was absolutely certain he wasn't mistaken.
"It's my master's aura!"
"That means my master isn't dead!!"
Overjoyed, he immediately rushed toward the source of that aura.
...
Meanwhile, in Zeno's palace.
Whis had returned with Beerus and the others.
They reported everything about Uchiha Dali.
As for Universe Seven—already erased—Zeno merely waved a hand, unconcerned.
"The threat is gone. Now we can continue discussing the Tournament of Power, Grand Priest."
Zeno cared a great deal about this matter.
He turned toward the Grand Priest.
But upon hearing Zeno's words, Beerus couldn't help speaking up:
"Lord Zeno, there's another being we must prepare for!"
"That being is the Super Dragon created by the Dragon God Zalama. He's now working together with Uchiha Dali."
"Super Dragon?"
"He wasn't erased?"
Zeno looked confused and glanced at the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest nodded.
"Lord Zeno, the Super Dragon is a creation personally made by the Dragon God Zalama. Like the angels, he is special."
With that explanation, Zeno immediately understood.
The Super Dragon, like the angels, was exempt from erasure.
At that moment, Whis also recalled his previous encounter with the Super Dragon.
He said,
"We once sought the Super Dragon's help to restore Universe Six, which Uchiha Dali destroyed, as well as part of Universe Seven."
"But he outright refused our wish."
"It seems he is fully aligned with Uchiha Dali now."
"If he uses his wish-granting ability, then Universe Seven will be restored—and when that happens…"
"Uchiha Dali will probably be revived as well."
The moment Whis said this, the entire hall fell silent.
As angels, they had no authority to decide the Super Dragon's fate.
Only Zeno could.
Zeno looked at the Gods of Destruction, the angels, then at the Grand Priest.
"So what do you think we should do?"
"Lord Zeno, it's simple. We capture the Super Dragon and seal him away. That way, we won't violate our agreement with the Dragon God Zalama."
The Grand Priest offered his proposal.
Zeno nodded.
"Then who will seal the Super Dragon?"
There was no need for Zeno or the Grand Priest to act.
The Super Dragon was of a lower tier than they were.
The Grand Priest turned to the angels.
"Whis, I'll leave this task to you all."
A single angel's power was already comparable to the Super Dragon's.
To seal him, the angels merely needed to act together—it would be easy.
Whis and the others accepted the order without hesitation.
He lifted his staff.
The black crystal orb on it had long since healed, restored to perfect form.
After observing for a moment, Whis said,
"Then, Lord Zeno, Grand Priest, we will depart now."
...
The Ancestral Dragon quickly arrived at the location where he sensed Uchiha Dali's aura.
But upon arrival, he found nothing.
Only empty darkness.
Uchiha Dali was nowhere to be found.
Only his aura lingered—slightly stronger than before, but still faint.
After searching a moment, the Ancestral Dragon realized something.
"Could it be…"
His vision suddenly expanded.
He had entered a microscopic state.
And once he did, he finally found Uchiha Dali.
Before him was an enormous cell, fiery red like a beating heart, still pulsing with life.
Uchiha Dali's aura was coming from this enormous magnified cell.
"This is… my master's cell!"
"So that's it!"
He looked around and saw countless scattered cells drifting in all directions.
Each cell was separated by vast distances—distances impossible for cells to cross.
Isolated like this, the complete body they once formed had disintegrated into nothing.
"Lord Zeno truly is formidable…"
"But my master's cells have already reached a state of immortality. Even Zeno cannot destroy them."
"To make them gather again and restore his body, there is only one way… supplying enough energy."
The Ancestral Dragon hesitated.
Universe Seven had nothing left.
No stars.
No worlds.
No energy.
To provide enough power for all these scattered cells to reunite and resurrect Uchiha Dali, there was only one option—sacrifice himself.
"I'm sorry, master. Please forgive me."
With only a moment's hesitation, he made his decision.
Murmuring softly, he transformed into an endless surge of light and heat, enveloping all the indestructible cells scattered around him.
