Every god in Universe 7 who knew of the God of Destruction's existence fell into a panic.
Meanwhile, in the God of Destruction Realm.
"An Ultra Instinct aura? It's not Whis's. Who on earth has come to the God of Destruction Realm?"
Beerus rose from his sleeping place, his eyes cold and profound. Meeting his gaze felt as though one's soul would be drawn into an endless abyss.
"Another God of Destruction? No, apart from me, no other God of Destruction knows Ultra Instinct!"
"Huh? The aura is so weak. Who on earth is it?"
Beerus's gaze suddenly turned extremely dangerous. A dense purple light erupted from his body, destroying every time-bomb alarm clock in its path.
Rumble-!
A huge hole was blasted through the top of the sleeping space. Beerus shot into the air and immediately spotted two figures by the lake.
"Even Lord Beerus has been alerted?"
Whis, standing by the lake, also saw the skinny bag of bones in the sky. He waved his staff, and a flash of silver light enveloped Glen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The next second!
Rumble-!
A streak of purple light descended from the sky, shattering the entire lake in an instant!
Whis had known this would happen. Fortunately, he had put a protective barrier around Glen beforehand.
Seeing the lake shattered, he turned back time to restore it to its original state.
"Whis, who is this little fellow? How did he get here?"
Beerus walked over one step at a time, his gaze fixed on Glen.
Whis said gently, "Lord Beerus, his name is Glen. He's a Saiyan, and I brought him here."
"A Saiyan? Weren't the Saiyans supposed to have been wiped out by Frieza? Did Frieza disobey my orders?"
A dense purple aura erupted from Beerus. The instant it touched the air, space collapsed!
"I wouldn't know about Frieza."
"Huh? What's going on with this little fellow's dimension?" The killing intent around Beerus vanished abruptly, and his expression changed.
"Oh ho ho~ It seems Lord Beerus has noticed!"
"The Peak King Kai Dimension? At his age, how is that possible?"
Beerus's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief!
It was no wonder Beerus was so shocked. In this world, aside from a god born from the union of two gods,
cultivation was the only way!
Of course, perhaps Super Shenron could do it too, but no one had ever tried!
To reach the King Kai Dimension through cultivation, it would be impossible without at least a million years!
But now...
That boy looked only seven, yet he had reached the Peak King Kai Dimension?!
"Wait, that ethereal aura just now came from this little fellow!!"
Beerus's eyes widened again.
"That's right, he was the one who produced it. His state of mind has already reached the second level."
Whis was very pleased with Beerus's expression. After all, Glen had shocked him many times too.
"..."
Beerus swallowed hard. For a moment, he had no idea what to say.
That was the second-level state of mind, Selflessness! Among all the Gods of Destruction, aside from him, the others could only touch upon the state of Selflessness at best!
Without extraordinary talent, they could never truly reach the realm of Selflessness, no matter how much time they were given!
Beerus shifted his gaze. "Whis... did you teach him?"
"Yes."
Whis nodded smugly.
Beerus: "..."
What the hell are you so smug about?!
"Why would you teach a Saiyan these things? What happened while I was asleep?"
"Well..."
Whis didn't hide anything. He told Beerus everything that had happened over the past year.
Beerus listened quietly, but the more he heard, the more shocked he became.
Back then, it had taken him a full year to master his own power completely, yet this little fellow had reached that level in just one month!
Of course, what shocked him most was still Glen's Peak King Kai Dimension and his second-level state of mind!
"Lord Beerus, what do you think of him?" Whis covered his mouth and chuckled.
"His talent is terrifying, and his background is terrifying!!"
That was Beerus's assessment.
Glen's terrifying talent was plain to see, so there was no need to dwell on it, but his origins were mysterious.
As far as Beerus knew, the Saiyans were a bunch of wild monkeys who knew nothing but fighting and killing.
Not only were they weak to the extreme, but they were also exceptionally hot-tempered. How had a race like that produced a genius like Glen?
"It's not strange that he knows we like good food. After all, we've left plenty of legends throughout the universe. But he also knows about Lord Zeno!"
Beerus stroked his chin and looked at Glen on the grass. "Could the Saiyans really have some kind of historical records?" he said gravely.
"Perhaps the Saiyans really do have some historical records!"
Whis fell into thought after saying that.
"?"
Beerus was taken aback. What did Whis mean by that? Did the Saiyans have some extraordinary background?
"No way. When I became a God of Destruction, I hadn't even heard of the Saiyans. I only learned they existed because of Frieza!"
Beerus spoke from the side.
But Whis remained silent, his brows tightly furrowed. He seemed to have remembered something, but wasn't sure.
Meanwhile, Glen.
For some reason, he had a constant feeling that his talent and comprehension seemed a little strong!
Glen didn't think Self-Forgetfulness was difficult. Just as he had gained control of his power a year ago, it hadn't taken him long to master the state of Self-Forgetfulness completely.
According to Whis, it would already be remarkable if he could comprehend and cultivate the first-level state of mind at his current stage.
But he seemed to feel that the second-level state of mind wasn't difficult either.
So he tried comprehending and cultivating the second-level state of mind as well.
And it really wasn't difficult!!!
Glen opened his eyes. The silver light around him suddenly flared, and then his hair took on a faint silver hue.
At that moment, he was calmer than ever before!!
"So this is the state of Selflessness?"
Glen looked down at his little hands and murmured to himself.
Suddenly!
A purple sphere of light came at him from behind!
Glen's expression didn't change. He merely leaned slightly to one side and easily dodged the sneak attack, as though using Bodily Instinct.
Crack!
The lake in front of him was instantly destroyed, turning into specks of starlight that vanished in an instant.
"This is... destruction. Could it be..."
The silver light around Glen vanished in an instant, and he turned around in terror.
Sure enough!
The person who had just been behind him was Beerus!
No, judging by the timeline, Beerus should still have been asleep. Why had he suddenly woken up?
Glen still didn't know what a stir he had caused. He tensed up, afraid that Beerus would destroy him on the spot.
Beerus and Whis exchanged a glance.
It's still not a true state of Selflessness!
That was what both of them thought, because they had observed that Glen's hair had been a pale silver just now.
Moreover, when Beerus had just launched a sneak attack on Glen, Glen had seemingly dodged the blow using Bodily Instinct.
But a closer look would reveal that Glen still had subjective awareness. He had yet to shed the weaknesses of his humanity or leave the fight entirely to Bodily Instinct.
In other words, Glen had yet to reach a true state of Selflessness!
At most, it could only be considered a state of Semi-Selflessness!
Even so, Glen's talent was still terrifying as hell!!
Even Beerus admitted that he couldn't compare to him.
Beerus's gaze grew increasingly fervent. This kid... what a freak!
Whis noticed the look in Beerus's eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He seemed to know what Beerus was about to do.
"Hey, your name's Glen, right?" Beerus walked over to him.
"G-greetings, Lord Beerus!"
Glen bent in a bow, doing his best to appear composed.
"Don't be nervous."
"..."
The corner of Glen's mouth twitched. He was facing the strongest God of Destruction. How could he possibly relax?!
"I hear you're a Saiyan. Tell me, how did you survive Frieza?"
See? How am I supposed not to be nervous when you ask me that? Glen's heart began pounding wildly.
That damn King Vegeta!
You found the best pillow in the whole universe, so why didn't you just give it to him? Why did you have to provoke him?
Glen hadn't gained any cheat when he transmigrated. If Beerus wanted to destroy him, he had no way to stop him now.
But...
He still had his cooking skills to keep himself alive. Thinking of that, he relaxed considerably.
"Lord Beerus, Frieza chose to spare me, Prince Vegeta and the others..."
Glen told him the truth.
"So that Vegeta kid didn't die either. I see."
Beerus glanced at Whis, who nodded as if to confirm it.
With that, Glen's origins were clear again.
"Lord Beerus, I know the king of our Saiyan race offended you. I can make all kinds of delicious food. Could you perhaps..."
Glen was afraid Beerus would destroy him on the spot, but before he could finish,
Beerus's voice rang out. "You have good talent. Are you interested in becoming Universe 7's God of Destruction Candidate?"
