Beerus's Approval! The Gods' Gaze

Back on the battlefield, Beerus and Ye Ming remained in a stalemate, a terrifying aura spreading throughout the universe.

Beerus's Hakai Energy continued to intensify. Ye Ming sensed that 10x Kaioken might not be enough, yet even 10x Kaioken was draining his stamina at an alarming rate.

If Ye Ming were to push the Kaioken to a higher multiplier, he risked running out of stamina, which would lead to a dire situation.

With no other choice, Ye Ming decided to risk it all to find a path to survival. A roar erupted from him: "20x Kaioken!"

Suddenly, a terrifying momentum exploded from Ye Ming's body, his combat power instantly surging several times over.

Beerus was shocked; he hadn't expected him to be able to unleash even greater combat power!

Gritting his teeth, he said to Ye Ming, "To think you could still unleash such power. This God truly underestimated you, Ye Ming. However, your stamina will plummet rapidly. I can feel that while this technique doesn't harm your body, it drains your energy at a breakneck pace."

Ye Ming replied, "If I don't fight now, when will I? I will give everything I have to defeat you!"

While maintaining control over his Hakai Energy, Beerus said, "Good lad, still thinking of defeating this God? But it is a pity—despite possessing such formidable power, you still cannot overcome me."

Just then, Ye Ming's Kamehameha pushed the Hakai Energy back. Beerus had already exerted his full strength in this current form.

Suddenly, Beerus said to Ye Ming, "Then let me show you the true power of a God!"

In an instant, a multicolored glow emerged from Beerus's body. His eyes gradually turned silver-white, and the color of his fur began to shift toward silver as well.

A divine aura rose from Beerus's body. Yes, it was none other than Ultra Instinct.

On Earth, Whis, the attendant to the God of Destruction, saw Beerus unleash Ultra Instinct and the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly.

"It seems Lord Beerus has brought out his full strength, giving Ye Ming the greatest respect," Whis murmured.

The Z Fighters also noticed the change in Beerus and asked Whis, "Beerus seems to have taken on a strange form! What is this?"

Hearing the Z Fighters' confusion, Whis replied, "Lord Beerus is using a Divine Technique—Ultra Instinct. It is a skill that only Angels can truly master. However, Lord Beerus's Ultra Instinct still has flaws and is not perfect, but the increase in power is undoubtedly immense. Ye Ming may be in danger."

After hearing Whis's explanation, the group realized this was an unfathomable technique, and the anxiety in their hearts grew even stronger.

Ye Ming also noticed the change in Beerus and realized he had used Ultra Instinct; his expression turned grave.

Seeing the Destruction Sphere about to be pushed toward Beerus to defeat him, the situation shifted the moment Beerus utilized Ultra Instinct.

Beerus's eyes flashed with a silver-white brilliance, and the Destruction Sphere was sent hurtling back toward Ye Ming at incredible speed.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the worse, Ye Ming dodged frantically. Just as the sphere was about to strike him, he immediately used Instant Transmission to teleport elsewhere.

However, a void vortex appeared where he had been standing, and all the surrounding meteorites were reduced to cosmic dust.

Ye Ming let out a long sigh of relief; that moment had been incredibly perilous! Had he been hit, given his state at the time, he would have certainly been killed or severely wounded.

Beerus was also surprised. He had actually dodged that attack using the Instant Transmission technique of the Supreme Kai. Beerus narrowed his eyes, quickly piecing together the cause and effect.

However, he didn't take it to heart. Now, bolstered by Ultra Instinct, his strength had risen several tiers; Ye Ming was simply no match for him.

Beerus smiled at Ye Ming and said, "It seems the battle will end soon. However, I acknowledge your strength, Ye Ming. To have forced me to use Ultra Instinct—you have every right to be proud."

Hearing Beerus's words, Ye Ming responded, "Ending soon? I don't agree with that statement!"

Upon hearing this, Beerus retracted his smile and said seriously, "Do you still have hidden strength you haven't revealed? Bring it out and let me see it!"

Under the influence of Ultra Instinct, Beerus appeared completely composed. With Ultra Instinct combined with Hakai Energy, he was essentially an invincible existence.

He completely refused to believe that Ye Ming had a way to defeat him. Unfortunately, he had miscalculated—Ye Ming also possessed Ultra Instinct.

Ye Ming asked the system, "Between Beerus's Ultra Instinct and mine, which is stronger?"

The system replied to Ye Ming, "Compared to Beerus's Ultra Instinct, your aura is more perfect."

"Ultra Instinct is a skill mastered by the Angel race, or perhaps other great beings; it is a Divine Technique! What Beerus has mastered is not perfect, though he is very close to that realm."

"But even with this thin barrier, it is unknown how many years it will take for Beerus to break through it."

Ye Ming nodded in agreement after hearing the system's words; it was exactly as he had expected.

If I reveal the prototype of Ultra Instinct, it might shock Beerus or the other Gods! Ye Ming thought. He had long sensed someone spying on him, a feeling that seemed to come from beyond the universe. (Once the protagonist's strength reaches a certain realm, he can sense the prying of others.)

Whis and Beerus were aware of this as well, though they said nothing.

They knew that Ye Ming's immense power had already been exposed to the various universes.

At this moment, Ye Ming couldn't worry about that. If he couldn't defeat Beerus, Earth would face the risk of destruction.

He smiled at Beerus and said, "Lord Beerus, I admit you are incredibly powerful, but unfortunately, I also know this technique!"

Before Beerus could recover from his shock, a silver-white light erupted from Ye Ming's eyes. A divine aura surged from his body; his hair remained black, but it was now tinged with a multicolored glow.

Witnessing this scene, the Gods were utterly astonished!

Whis stood up, saying in surprise, "This is the aura of Ultra Instinct, there is no mistake! Although it is not yet perfect, how did he learn it? This is a realm that even the Gods find difficult to reach. Only we Angels can master it perfectly!"

Far away on Planet of Destruction in Universe 6, Champa was already broken out in a cold sweat: "He actually knows Ultra Instinct? My heavens, how did he learn it? Although Ye Ming's Ultra Instinct is imperfect, it is extremely close."

Vados, standing to the side, was also deeply shocked: "Given that Ye Ming is so young, to be able to master it in such a short time... could Whis have taught him? That's impossible!"

In Universe 11, Vermoud watched the scene with his jaw dropped, saying, "He can actually master the prototype of Ultra Instinct? This, how can this be? It's impossible! This is a technique that even Gods of Destruction find difficult to comprehend."

These scenes were playing out before the eyes of all the universes, and they were all profoundly shocked!

Outside Zeno's Palace, the Grand Priest also watched Ye Ming's every move, whispering, "To be able to learn Ultra Instinct so easily, this visitor from another universe is truly extraordinary! His potential far exceeds my imagination!"

Although the Grand Priest was only slightly surprised that Ye Ming could master Ultra Instinct, he did not say much more, as this was still just an ordinary character in his eyes.

Opposite him, Beerus's expression was extremely ugly, his large cat eyes glaring at Ye Ming as he said, "How did you learn Ultra Instinct?"

"Oh, so this is called Ultra Instinct?" Ye Ming replied, pretending he had just found out.

"I understand now. Because I was able to calm my mind for a long time, I mastered this skill inexplicably. Is there a problem, Lord Beerus?"

Beerus's expression was very grim; Ye Ming was clearly not telling him the truth. Cultivating Ultra Instinct did indeed require a calm mind, and one's control over their own ki had to reach a certain realm.

However, this was not important. In Beerus's heart, he wanted to achieve final victory in this battle; he had not originally intended to destroy Earth, it was just something he had said offhandedly.

During the battle with Ye Ming, Beerus had already acknowledged Ye Ming's strength, so there was no need to engage in a life-or-death struggle with him.

But he was the strongest God of Destruction among the 12 universes, and if he failed to defeat Ye Ming, he would likely be mocked by those from other universes.

After all, for a god to fail to defeat a mortal was truly unjustifiable!

On Earth, Whis also clearly saw the change in Beerus's demeanor.

He sighed, thinking to himself: Perhaps letting Lord Beerus suffer a setback this time will be good for his future. Although he is the most powerful God of Destruction among the 12 universes, he has not trained seriously for many years. If he were to train seriously, he could potentially be many times stronger than he is now.

Returning to the battlefield, the colorful auras of both sides swayed against each other; Ye Ming's Super Saiyan 4 Full Power combined with Ultra Instinct allowed for perfect adaptation.

On Beerus's side, his purple energy and colorful aura swayed together, appearing exceptionally divine.

Beerus said indifferently to Ye Ming, "It seems you have brought out your full strength this time?"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "This is the extent of my power."

As he spoke, Ye Ming added the 20x Kaioken; this was the maximum multiplier he could maintain in this form, and he had to finish the fight quickly before his stamina ran out!

Beerus watched as Ye Ming utilized the 20x Kaioken, his strength surging significantly! His expression became extremely solemn.

Ye Ming's strength had already far exceeded his estimates, and he knew that Ye Ming wanted to finish the battle quickly; within these next few minutes, there would only be one victor.
