Chapter 480: The Wheel Turns
The Grand Priest's tone was firm, carrying an unmistakable resolve.
The Grand Zeno froze for a moment when he heard this.
And in the same instant he spaced out, the Grand Priest had already moved—vanishing from sight at a speed that surpassed the universe's limits.
Watching the Grand Priest disappear, the Grand Zeno murmured softly, "This is the first time he's ever shown such a fierce killing intent…"
That single murmur sent every Supreme Kai present into a panic, their faces turning deathly pale.
In the seemingly innocent eyes of the Grand Zeno, they saw an unprecedented sharpness.
A look he only showed when entering his serious mode.
Each one of these Supreme Kai had lived for at least several billion years.
And most of them had never seen the Grand Zeno like this.
Even the oldest Elder Supreme Kai had not witnessed this expression for an extremely, extremely long time.
Meanwhile, in Universe 7—
At this moment, Whis had already brought the other ten angels and the eleven Gods of Destruction to this place.
They split up, each searching for the Super Shenron.
Yet after scouring every region, they found no trace of it.
"What's going on? Whis, didn't you say the Super Shenron was right here?" Beerus asked with irritation.
Whis was equally puzzled. Through the crystal ball, he had clearly seen the Super Shenron here.
So why had it vanished the moment they arrived?
"There's no reason he should've known we were coming…"
Whis muttered.
Just then, his expression shifted. "This is bad."
The other angels sensed the danger as well.
In an instant, each angel entered Perfected Ultra Instinct.
Seeing their reaction, the Gods of Destruction also grew tense.
But it was already too late.
The once pitch-black, endless void of the universe suddenly grew bright.
Or rather—not bright, exactly.
More accurately, the endless black void faded into a dull gray-white.
And before Whis and the others could even process what was happening, the region they stood in reshaped itself into a confined space.
A limited world, gray-white, its boundaries visible at a glance.
"That Super Shenron actually dares to attack us?" Beerus narrowed his eyes.
The Super Shenron wasn't under their jurisdiction.
But throughout all these years, it had never interfered with their authority.
They had always left each other alone.
Unless it had been completely swayed by Uchiha Dali.
Otherwise, this made no sense.
Whis and the others couldn't offer an answer.
He replied, "Lord Beerus, right now we should be thinking about how to get out. This barrier isn't simple…"
While he spoke, the other angels had already moved.
They flashed toward different directions, searching for a breakout point.
But upon reaching the barrier and examining it, they realized escape was impossible.
"This is…"
"A Divine Sealing Barrier!"
After checking together, all the angels came to the same conclusion.
This was the very sealing barrier they had used to trap Uchiha Dali before.
But the one trapping *them* now was even stronger.
"If this is a Divine Sealing Barrier, then it absolutely can't have been created by the Super Shenron!"
"This barrier is higher-level than the one we created together. There's only one possibility…"
After thinking it over, every angel's expression changed drastically.
They had all arrived at the same terrifying conclusion.
The Gods of Destruction noticed their reactions as well.
"Uchiha Dali, huh?"
Beerus narrowed his eyes. "But Lord Grand Zeno eliminated him himself. How could that guy still be alive?"
Clearly, he didn't believe it.
The other Gods of Destruction also doubted the idea.
Whis understood why they resisted the thought.
Even he wasn't sure if Uchiha Dali had really survived.
The one who acted was the Grand Zeno—
The supreme god across all universes.
In any universe, the Grand Zeno was absolutely unbeatable.
That was something every angel and god agreed on.
Therefore, Uchiha Dali should have vanished along with Universe 7.
It was hard to imagine he could still be alive.
Though Whis didn't say his doubts aloud, all of them silently shared them.
Which made their confusion even worse—
Why was there such a powerful Divine Sealing Barrier here trapping all of them—angels included?
Just as angels and Gods of Destruction alike were struggling to understand, a cold laugh echoed through every corner.
In that confined world, countless scarlet eyes suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls.
Each pair of enormous red eyes radiated a chilling light.
Their shape resembled six intersecting scythes, surrounded by proportional small circles.
And in the empty spaces between the circles, there were beads—count them, one by one.
Nine.
Whis's eyes widened. "Uchiha Dali…"
"Uchiha Dali?"
"That guy is really still alive??"
Beerus was stunned.
And just as his words fell, Uchiha Dali's voice rang out again.
"What's wrong? Forgotten my voice already, Lord Beerus?"
"I thought you valued me much more than that."
As his voice faded, figures of Uchiha Dali appeared all around them.
These figures blended seamlessly with the barrier walls, surrounding the entire space completely.
Whis, Beerus, and the others were trapped.
Seeing that Uchiha Dali had truly appeared, both angels and Gods of Destruction grimaced.
"I can't believe you really survived Lord Grand Zeno's attack, Uchiha Dali."
Whis's expression was more serious than ever.
In all his life, there had only been one non-angel who could resist the Grand Zeno's erasure.
And that was Uchiha Dali.
"It seems his power has reached a level beyond comprehension. Even if we join forces, we may not be his match…"
One of the angels beside Whis said solemnly.
