Normally, ordinary people couldn't sense a divine presence, but perhaps because of his "Immunity," Louis had sensed it.
A divine presence naturally exerted a pressure on mortals. It was the pressure of someone higher in rank.
And this pressure itself was a kind of negative effect.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!"
If Louis wasn't mistaken, the God of Destruction Beerus and his attendant had arrived on Planet Vegeta.
After this very day, the fate of Planet Vegeta would change.
The fate of Planet Vegeta and the Saiyans could wait. Right now, Louis only wanted to meet Beerus. That way, he could complete the sign-in and obtain the Rudimentary Autonomous State.
The more Louis thought about it, the more excited he became.
To complete the sign-in task, Louis left his room and headed for King Vegeta Palace.
The buildings around him were filled with an industrial feel. Before long, Louis arrived in front of a palace.
It was huge, and two Saiyans stood guard at the gate atop the stairs.
Louis walked up to them.
"Louis, King Vegeta has ordered that no one may enter the palace," one of the guards said as they stepped forward.
"I need to see King Vegeta about something important!" Louis climbed the stairs, his voice still childish.
"No. King Vegeta ordered that no one may enter."
"I have to go in. This concerns the fate of our Saiyan race!"
Louis widened his eyes and made a bold claim. In truth, he had no interest in this evil Saiyan race, but this seemed like the only excuse that might get him into the palace.
The Scouter showed that the two guards in front of him each had a power level of 1,200.
They were both adult Saiyans, so it was no surprise that their battle powers were so high.
Louis only had a battle power of 500, and he was still a child. There was no way he could force his way in.
Louis spoke so earnestly that the two guards were taken aback.
Was he serious?
To them, Louis was still just a child. What could he possibly know about the fate of the Saiyans?
But ordinary Saiyans wouldn't make a joke like this, especially not Louis, an Elite Warrior who had so much potential.
"Fine. I'll go report this. Wait here," one of the guards said, turning toward the palace.
"This is urgent. I'm going in first. I'll explain everything to King Vegeta." Louis walked right past the guard.
If he let the guard go report this, would he still get a chance to see Beerus?
Louis passed the guard and hurried on.
"Wait..."
The guard tried to stop him.
"Enough. He's an Elite Warrior. We can't afford to offend him. Leave him be. If anyone gets punished, it'll be him. Besides, I have a feeling Louis was telling the truth."
Louis didn't hear the guards talking behind him. He was walking down a corridor and soon reached the palace's interior.
Red carpet, ornamental lights...
The palace interior was lavish.
"King Vegeta, did you dare try to fool me?"
"Lord Beerus, I didn't! The pillow I gave you really was the best one."
"You still dare to argue!"
A cold voice rang through the palace. Killing intent filled the air, and the temperature plunged.
A little boy in the corner watched his father being trampled beneath someone's foot, trembling with fear.
"King Vegeta, you've disappointed me..."
Beerus pressed his foot hard against King Vegeta's head. Then his brow suddenly furrowed slightly, and he looked up.
Whis, standing beside him, also shifted his gaze toward the palace entrance. A child had appeared there.
The child blinked his round eyes, the tail behind him swishing back and forth.
"Louis? What are you doing here? Get out!"
Pinned to the ground, King Vegeta couldn't help regretting that he had defied the God of Destruction's wishes.
This was bad. Beerus was surely furious now.
And now Louis, one of the Elite Warriors of their race, had shown up. If Louis angered Beerus too, Planet Vegeta would be finished.
However, King Vegeta suddenly realized that Beerus had gone silent.
Beerus was staring intently at the little figure in the doorway, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
How strange!
"Why does this little fellow dare to look me in the eye?"
Beerus glanced at Vegeta in the corner. Vegeta was sprawled on the ground, trembling.
Shouldn't that little fellow be like King Vegeta's son?
Whis was equally astonished. He could tell Louis's strength at a glance. How could such a pathetically weak mortal ignore the pressure of their superior rank?
In truth, angels had already returned to a state of perfect simplicity, so they didn't exert the pressure of a superior rank on mortals.
But Gods of Destruction were different from angels. They couldn't reach that state, and they always unconsciously radiated the pressure of someone higher in rank.
When ordinary people encountered a God of Destruction, they would either collapse to the ground or, in severe cases, lose control of their bowels and bladder.
Just as Beerus and Whis were wondering what was going on,
[ Ding! ] [Sign-in completed in Beerus's presence. Reward: Rudimentary Autonomous State!]
Hum!
An ethereal aura suddenly filled the palace, which had been saturated with killing intent. Like a spring flowing with a clear song, it dispelled the icy killing intent completely.
Rumble—!
At the sight of this, Beerus and Whis felt as if a divine thunderbolt had struck them. Their eyes widened, and they were utterly dumbfounded.
"Ultra Instinct?"
"No, it's not Ultra Instinct!"
"It's only the rudimentary form of Autonomous State. It's nowhere near Ultra Instinct!"
"But how did this little fellow grasp a state like this?"
Ultra Instinct actually consisted of two states: Autonomous State and Ultra Instinct!
These two states were extremely complex, but there was no doubt that ordinary people couldn't comprehend them.
Compared to Beerus, Whis found it even harder to believe.
As an angel, he naturally knew how difficult it was to comprehend Autonomous State.
Yet this little fellow had somehow broken through to this state out of nowhere. It seemed impossible, no matter how he looked at it.
"Louis, get out of here! Leave at once!"
At that moment, King Vegeta seized the chance, before Louis could anger Beerus, to urge him to leave immediately.
"Shut up! Say another word and I'll destroy you!"
Beerus moved his foot from King Vegeta's head and spoke coldly. Then he strode forward, with Whis following close behind.
