"Where do you think you're going?"
Beerus's icy voice rang out.
Glen's little body couldn't help trembling, and he instinctively covered his bottom.
The corner of Whis's mouth twitched. So the little fellow knew he was about to get a beating?
"Oh, Lord Beerus and Whis, you're back!"
Glen turned around and bowed obsequiously. "Welcome back to the God of Destruction Realm, most esteemed God of Destruction and Angel in the entire universe!"
Beerus: "..."
Whis: "..."
You don't actually think that bootlicking face will get you out of a beating, do you?
"Well, to celebrate your return, I'll go make you a feast."
Glen wasted no more words. If he didn't run now, when would he?
Whoosh!!
He flew toward the boundary of the God of Destruction Realm, using every last ounce of strength he had.
He didn't know where he would go. He only knew he couldn't stay in the God of Destruction Realm!
But then!
"Huh? Why is my body moving backward?"
Glen had only just flown into the air when he discovered his body was actually starting to move backward. His expression changed drastically.
Before he knew it, Glen was back ten meters in front of Beerus. Beerus held up one hand, and the tremendous suction he exerted stopped.
Beerus rolled his neck and said coldly, "Kid, you've got some nerve, wearing that gravity suit into the Sumeru World!"
A chill ran down Glen's back. He said shakily, "Lord Beerus, please let me explain..."
"Save your explanations. Come on, show me the results of training in the Sumeru World with that gravity suit on. And you'd better pray those results can withstand my attacks, or you're dead!"
"No..."
Before Glen could finish.
Boom-!
Beerus stomped hard, leaving an enormous crater where he stood, and shot toward Glen like a human cannonball.
He moved incredibly fast, and space collapsed everywhere he passed!
At the sight, Whis's face darkened. Beerus was genuinely angry. Glen was in for it now!
"Damn it, Lord Beerus, don't think I'm afraid of you!!"
Glen saw space shattering too, and he gulped hard.
Is this the power of the strongest God of Destruction? But... you want me to just take a beating? No way!
"Hah!!"
Boom-!
Glen had achieved absolute control over his power. No aura flared around his body, but his one billion battle power had already erupted within him!
Here he comes!
Space shattered inch by inch all the way to Glen, and Beerus appeared there as well.
Bang-!!
The large fist collided with the small one, and the tremendous force instantly evaporated all the water in the nearby lake.
Glen knew Beerus had held back at the last moment, but he still felt as though his fist had struck the hardest rock in the entire universe.
"That hurts!"
That incomparable force surged into him, twisting the muscles in his arm.
"Kid, is that all you've got?"
Beerus was somewhat disappointed.
Glen had raised his battle power to one billion in half a year. That was indeed astonishing and terrifying. Even Beerus hadn't matched him back in his day.
But this little fellow's fighting skills...
Suddenly!
Beerus's disappointed expression changed in an instant, turning to excitement!!
He could feel Glen redirecting the force!!
This kid had actually learned how to fight, too!!
"You little brat!"
Beerus laughed heartily and put more strength into his hand.
Boom-!
Glen redirected most of the force, but he was still sent flying backward.
"Where do you think you're running!"
Beerus chased after him.
Little Glen smiled too. He felt his blood beginning to boil.
"Keep it coming, Lord Beerus!!"
Boom-!
Boom-!
Two streaks of light instantly appeared in the sky, weaving and twining around each other. Every collision unleashed terrifying waves of air.
Whoosh!!
Those scorching waves swept across the entire battlefield, crushing all the vegetation on the ground below into powder.
Watching the fierce clashes in the sky, Whis gripped his staff tightly.
"I thought gaining one billion battle power in half a year was terrifying enough. Who would have thought he'd learned how to fight, too!!"
"Fighting skills, combat experience, combat awareness... none of these are particularly outstanding yet, but they have formed the first stage of bodily instinct!"
"All I did was toss him a gravity suit. How on earth did he manage this? Did he train all of it in the Sumeru World?"
"It's only been half a year. My goodness, if he figured this out himself, then this fellow..."
At this sight, even Whis, who could remain unruffled if a mountain collapsed before him, grew excited.
"What a rush! What a rush!!"
Little Glen was knocked back ten meters, but he refused to admit defeat. Swinging his little fists, he charged in again.
Boom-!
Boom-!
The shock waves of battle began to spread, expanding from a hundred li to a thousand, and the fight between Glen and Beerus reached a fever pitch.
Beerus moved behind Glen, clasped his hands together, and brought them down hard!
But unexpectedly...
Glen's first stage of bodily instinct allowed him to anticipate Beerus's move, and the one billion battle power within him erupted!
This time, he released his power outward and blasted Beerus back. This defense succeeded!
"Kid, take another punch!" Beerus stepped back one pace, then raised his fist and swung at the little fellow again.
"Hah!!"
Glen turned and crossed his hands in front of his chest to block. He withstood the blow, though he redirected more than half its force with a strange movement!
But it still severely injured his body. He hadn't fully blocked that strike!
"Pfft!!"
Glen spat out a mouthful of blood.
Beerus didn't end the fight there. He still wanted to see how far this little fellow's limits went!
Boom-!
The two became locked in combat again, and Glen began using his Ultra Instinct Prototype state.
By the end, Glen had run out of options. He stopped fighting Beerus hand-to-hand and even resorted to the Prince's Fighting Style!
Boom-!
All kinds of violent energy rained down!
In this battle, Glen used almost every means at his disposal!
If an ordinary fighter with one billion battle power, or even Lightning Cell, had appeared here, Glen could have fought above his level and beaten the shit out of them!!
But Glen faced the strongest God of Destruction. Even if his opponent suppressed his power to the same level, the outcome of this battle would still change in some way.
Glen, who had only trained his power for half a year... lost in the end!
However...
This battle wasn't over yet.
Smack, smack, smack!
Soon, the sound of spanking rang through the God of Destruction Realm.
"Aaargh, my butt hurts! Lord Beerus, let me off!"
"Do you admit you were wrong?"
"What did I do wrong?!"
"Say that again, you little brat?"
"Aaargh, I was wrong! I was wrong about everything!!"
"Hmph, still pretending you don't understand anything? With that measly strength of yours, you wore that gravity suit into the Sumeru World. Were you trying to get yourself killed?"
"S-sorry, I won't do it next time!"
"There's going to be a next time?"
"No, there won't be a next time..."
Glen's agonized cries kept echoing through the God of Destruction Realm.
