Beerus and his companion held their breath as a small figure, shimmering with silver light, slowly emerged from within their sight.
Splash! Splash!
A silvery aura swirled around him, its scorching heat tearing at the air and distorting it.
The next second!
These auras seeped into Glen's body at an alarming speed, turning his hair completely silver.
If " Semi-Selflessness " belongs to the state of mind at the Ultra Instinct and enlightenment, then true " Selflessness " is the state of mind at the Ultra Instinct and enlightenment.
At this moment, Little Glen was truly as quiet as the sky.
This state strips away human weaknesses, allowing Glen to act without deliberate effort, letting things take their natural course.
In this state, Glen doesn't gain a fixed number of times his fighting power as he would when he transforms into Super Saiyan.
Of course, the improvement in strength is undeniable, but it can no longer be measured by numbers.
Or rather, it encompasses strength, speed, reaction... it's a comprehensive, all-encompassing leap to a higher level!
"Vis... Whis, Glen really did it!!"
Seeing Glen's silver hair, Beerus got the answer he wanted, and he finally dared to speak, his tone filled with excitement.
" Lord Beerus, I remember it took you about 10 years to cultivate your mind to the level of Selflessness..."
Whis was also excited, but he hadn't finished speaking.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Beerus was furious. "Stop comparing me to that brat Glen for everything, okay? Don't you know how freakish he is?"
"Oh ho ho~ That's true. Lord Beerus, you two are both my students, but Glen is my most outstanding disciple. How could you possibly compare to him, Lord Beerus?"
"What do you mean, 'you taught me'?!"
Beerus completely ignored the fact that he was inferior to Glen and hurriedly said, "Didn't I teach you? You really know how to flatter yourself!"
"Hehe, although someone hasn't fallen into a deep sleep again, aside from eating and drinking, he still likes to sleep in late every day. I won't say who it is; he'll figure it out himself."
"Get lost, what's the difference between that and just saying my name?"
" Lord Beerus has admitted it, so let me state another fact you can't refute: Glen was the one I brought back."
Whis raised his chin, his face full of arrogance, pride, and smugness.
"You..."
Beerus's forehead throbbed with anger; he was so angry he wanted to jump up and flick Whis on the head.
Whis's eyes suddenly turned playful. "What? Lord Beerus wants to spar with me?"
"Go away, go away, I'm not going to lower myself to your level." Beerus immediately deflated; he couldn't beat him at all.
" Lord Beerus, Whis, I'm sorry to have worried you."
At that moment, Glen's silver hair turned back to black, and he walked out from inside the doorway.
Beerus and his companion stopped arguing and looked at the child who had come out.
This is his third year in the God of Destruction Realm. He never expected that in just three and a half years, he would have grown to this level.
That's really terrifying!
"I don't know exactly what happened to you, but I'm just glad you're okay." Beerus patted Glen's little shoulder.
Whis patted his little head and chuckled, "Sometimes inner turmoil isn't all bad. Didn't you take this opportunity to break through to a true state of Selflessness?"
"Um."
The comfort offered by Whis and the other man warmed Glen's heart.
Actually, when Vegeta was about to die, he was filled with the pleasure of revenge. Besides that, he also felt a little regret for the second male lead in Dragon Ball.
But seeing that Vegeta survived with incredible luck, he was speechless.
Pleasure, regret, helplessness... a mix of conflicting emotions overwhelmed him, causing a tremendous shock to his heart.
but...
Ironically, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise, as his " Semi-Selflessness " state of mind had already reached a bottleneck two and a half years ago.
Taking advantage of this inner turmoil, he broke through his mental bottleneck and then made a breakthrough to a true state of " Selflessness ".
Perhaps this is what Beerus and Whis meant when they said that breaking through bottlenecks involves many factors.
Sometimes, when you're in a good mood, you can easily break through a bottleneck.
"How did you feel in that state just now?" Whis withdrew his hand and asked with a smile.
"That's amazing!"
Glen looked at his small hands. "In that state, my strength, speed, reaction time... will all increase to a terrifying level."
"My body fights purely on Bodily Instinct, without any thought from my brain."
"This feeling is somewhat like my consciousness has become a god-like perspective. Perhaps this is Whis you've always meant by stripping away the weaknesses of human nature!"
At this point, Glen closed his eyes again, seemingly savoring the feeling he had just experienced.
Beerus and Whis exchanged a glance and chuckled softly; their interaction was indeed quite peculiar.
"You're right, that means stripping away the weaknesses of human nature. Your body won't be influenced by your subjective consciousness; it will allow your body to react instinctively."
At this point, Whis paused for a moment before continuing:
"I remember telling you before that true Selflessness is already at the level of Ultra Instinct and accomplishment."
"But..."
Whis looked at Glen and smiled:
"Although you have reached the level of Selflessness, even if you enhance this state, it cannot be called the Ultra Instinct. At most, it can only be called the Ultra Instinct Prototype."
certainly!
Compared to the Ultra Instinct Prototype Glen previously achieved in a " Semi-Selflessness " state of mind, Glen's current Ultra Instinct Prototype in a " Selflessness " state of mind is definitely much stronger!
"I know, because my Bodily Instinct are still too weak; I haven't reached the level of Ultra Instinct ' yet."
Little Glen naturally understood what Whis meant, and he said with some disappointment, "In other words, my Bodily Instinct still can't match my state of mind."
"This fool is teachable."
Beerus nodded in satisfaction.
Glen: "..."
Beerus comforted him, saying, "Don't be disappointed. Many God of Destruction haven't even reached the Semi-Selflessness yet. You're already very powerful."
Because apart from Beerus, the other God of Destruction simply cannot cultivate Ultra Instinct.
Beerus coughed twice and then said:
"Moreover, when your strength and Bodily Instinct are cultivated to a higher level, you will naturally be able to perfectly master the state of Ultra Instinct."
Beerus spoke in a tone like an old father, Glen blinked his big, round eyes.
After half a year, why is Lord Beerus suddenly so good at comforting people?
"I'm trying to comfort you, what kind of look is that?" Beerus felt his fist harden.
Whis: "..."
Your tone of voice changed so quickly! Weren't you just having a harmonious moment? How come you're arguing all of a sudden?
"Huh?"
Seeing Beerus clench his fist, Glen quickly changed the subject. "Where are Shin and the others?"
"They've gone back to the Supreme Kai Realm. Don't try to change the subject, kid. What was that look you were giving me just now?"
"I see. So when does Lord Beerus plan to release Elder Supreme Kai? I can't keep teaching Shin forever, can I?"
Little Glen's eyes were darting around, and he was giving irrelevant answers.
"..."
Beerus's lips twitched; this little guy was as infuriating as ever!
"Then I'll ask you too."
He grabbed Glen by the collar, lifted him into the air, and stared at him, saying, "You promised to explain that Super Saiyan state to us!!"
