But what he had not expected was that this day would come so quickly!
Even Zeno, the incarnation of the era itself, could not shake Universe 7 in the slightest. With infinite rules unleashed, it would have been enough to recreate several Universe 7s and reshape the timeline dozens of times.
Yet, because of Baros's will.
Zeno's supreme will had become false, utterly incapable of affecting Universe 7 itself.
Faced with such supreme power, the Grand Minister truly could not think of anyone other than Baros!
"Then... is he about to achieve Transcendence?"
A sacred solemnity and yearning appeared on Zeno's innocent little face.
These emotions should never have appeared on Zeno, the supreme being of this era and the most sacred and noble Zeno of the Dragon Ball Macrocosm, yet they were now clearly displayed before the Grand Minister, Zeno's two Guards, and the Angels of the eleven Universes.
"I think... yes!" The Grand Minister fell silent.
He had always known that Baros of Universe 7 was extraordinarily powerful, possessing strength sufficient to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
But Dominion Level power alone—even if Baros had also mastered the Space-Time Rule, the Order Rule, and Supreme Rules such as creation and life—could never possibly negate Zeno's power.
The only possibility was that Baros had reached the end of the pinnacle of Dominion Level and was undergoing Transcendence.

As Vados listened to the conversation between her father and Zeno, wave after wave of shock battered the state of mind that had remained unshaken for
