High above.
1V11!
Louis looked indifferently at the 11 individuals before him.
Toppo was the one he was most familiar with among them.
Toppo was strong!
Being able to fight to a draw with Vegeta in his Deep Blue state in the anime, he was certainly not someone an ordinary person could withstand.
As for the other Candidate God of Destruction, he had never seen or even heard of them.
Louis did not know which one was the strongest, but regardless of which Candidate God of Destruction it was, they were not someone he could defeat with his current power.
There was no doubt about this!
"Kid, you're quite arrogant!"
Toroi frowned as he spoke.
He had been recruited by Quitela as a Candidate God of Destruction over a decade ago, all for the sake of defeating the Candidate God of Destruction of Universe 7 one day in the future.
Now, they had finally crossed paths.
"What? Is being arrogant against the law?" The corners of Louis's mouth curled up slightly.
"You're being far too insolent; you'll be crying soon enough."
"What reason gave you the courage to challenge all 11 of us at once?"
The various Candidate God of Destruction shook their heads one after another.
Louis was fearless and said, "Enough talk, let's begin."
"Since you want to die early, I'll grant your wish!"
Toroi saw Quitela give him a look from afar.
The other Candidate God of Destruction prepared for battle.
At this moment.
"Ganging up is not an act of justice; it goes against my principles. You all go ahead!"
Toppo shook his head and flew to the side.
"Tch!"
"What are you posturing for!"
"Forget him, let's go."
The "sparring" began, and the atmosphere of the Void Battlefield instantly turned heavy.
The 10 Candidate God of Destruction immediately transformed into purple beams of light, tearing through the void.
An overwhelming aura of destruction surged toward Louis.
In the distance, God of Destruction Geene shook his head: "This kid is done for. I don't know what gave him the nerve to take on 11 people at once."
Quitela laughed out loud: "Beerus, your man is truly too stupid!"
Rumsshi was noncommittal: "He is a bit stupid, but his talent is excellent, and his courage is worth praising. If only he were from my universe!"
Beerus looked at Rumsshi, furious: "Dead elephant, 'your man'? What kind of nonsense are you dreaming of? Do you even deserve him?"
"Dead skinny cat, are you looking for death?"
Rumsshi's chest burned with rage; he hated it most when others called him a dead elephant.
"Want to fight? Fine!"
Beerus walked toward Rumsshi, his eyes icy cold.
Rumsshi was startled and quickly shut his mouth!
If it were ganging up on Beerus with others, it would be fine, but to face Beerus alone? He wouldn't do that for anything.
Suddenly!
"Alright, it's starting!"
Hearing this voice, the various Gods of Destruction looked toward the distant void.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
10 purple beams of light flew toward Louis.
Seeing this!
Although Louis knew he wouldn't be injured, the thought of being swarmed by 10 Candidate God of Destruction still made his scalp tingle.
"Surrendering without a fight is not my style!"
Louis clenched his fists, drawing upon the power within his body.
BOOM—!
1.5 billion in combat power erupted in an instant, and the surging aura immediately transformed into gold.
Louis's hair flickered between gold and black!
Constantly flashing!
BOOM—!
Heaven and earth trembled!
Super Saiyan!
75 billion in combat power!
Normally, it would be 75 billion, but Louis had broken through to the level of a deity a few days ago, and his power had transformed into divine energy.
With his current strength, it could no longer be measured by combat power alone.
In the words of Whis, Louis's current power had not yet reached the first level of the God Realm, but...
It wasn't far off!
A mountain-toppling, sea-draining wave of pressure surged outward, causing the 10 Candidate God of Destruction who were charging at Louis to come to a halt.
"What is this?"
"Such powerful energy!"
"No wonder he dared to challenge all 11 of us at once!"
"Hmph, but it's still not enough!"
"This power is still far from the first level of the God Realm!"
"Attack!"
Toroi took the lead, and the other Candidate God of Destruction followed closely behind.
The sky was instantly blanketed in purple light!
Toroi appeared before Louis, the power of the second level of the God Realm condensed in his hand, and he threw a punch.
Louis raised his hand to block!
"Such immense power!"
Louis felt no pain, but the powerful impact sent him flying sideways.
Just from the initial clash, Louis had already shown signs of defeat!
Toppo, standing to the side, furrowed his brows. Is this all the Candidate God of Destruction from Universe 7 has to offer?
Didn't he want to take on 11 people at once?
He couldn't even withstand a single punch?
In the distance, the group of God of Destruction saw this and began to clutch their stomachs, mocking him.
"Hahaha, Beerus, what kind of thing is this from your universe? I thought he was something special just because he dyed his hair gold, but he can't even take one punch from Toroi!"
"It's hilarious, he really thought he was an expert at the fifth level of the God Realm. Turns out he's this pathetic. This stubborn personality is exactly like yours, Beerus!"
"He didn't learn anything else, but he learned your stubbornness. This kid has truly wasted such top-tier talent."
Listening to the mockery from the group of God of Destruction, Beerus's face burned slightly.
His plan was never for Louis to defeat the other Candidate God of Destruction, but for Louis to hold out until the end of the sparring match.
No one could kill Louis!
That way, he could turn the mockery back on them:
A group of Candidate God of Destruction at the second level of the God Realm, failing to defeat a little guy who hadn't even reached the power of the God Realm despite ganging up on him.
Beerus knew that anything he said now would be a weak rebuttal, so he simply waited quietly for the final result.
Once the result was out, that would be his time to speak.
Seeing Beerus remain silent, the God of Destruction mocked him even more fiercely.
Unlike the reaction of the God of Destruction, the Angels were stunned after seeing Louis get hit by that punch.
"Whis, he..."
"This young man from your universe actually remained unscathed after Toroi's full-force strike!"
"That can't be real!"
Facing the questions from his brothers and sisters, Whis only said one thing: you will all know in a moment.
Only then did the Angels realize that the young man named Louis was truly fearless.
"What trash. You dare act so arrogant with just this?"
After striking Louis, Toroi crossed his arms and hovered in the Void Battlefield, laughing wildly.
Struck by the immense impact, Louis's Candidate God of Destruction attire instantly shattered, and his body was sent hurtling straight into the distance.
The other Candidate God of Destruction flickered into motion; obeying the orders of their respective Gods of Destruction, they had no intention of letting Louis off easily and gave chase one after another.
Each of them condensed a sphere of Destruction energy.
The heavens and earth lost their color!
This was no sparring match!
This was an attempt on his life!
"Kid, so much for your arrogance!"
"Go to hell!"
The Candidate God of Destruction threw their attacks with all their might, and the ten spheres of Destruction energy flew toward Louis with boundless ferocity.
They blotted out the sky!
Louis slammed into the barrier of the Void Battlefield and was brought to a halt, watching the incoming Destruction energy.
Once I break through to the God Realm, I'll kill every one of you!
Louis gritted his teeth.
He closed his eyes!
The golden aura on his body vanished abruptly.
The Gods of Destruction in the distance assumed Louis had given up and were considering whether to tell their successors to stop.
After all, this was Beerus's successor; if they actually killed Louis, it would be a disaster.
Only Quitela wore a look of madness; he did not care whether Beerus would fly into a rage.
The truth was that the talent of this kid, Louis, was simply too great. If he were allowed to grow, his Universe 4 would be suppressed by Universe 7 once again.
No!
He had a grudge against Beerus, and he had to kill Louis!
He signaled Toroi with a glance.
Suddenly!
In the distance, after the golden aura on Louis's body vanished, his hair returned to black.
But...
The next moment, an ethereal aura emerged from Louis, and a silver, ghostly light soared into the sky.
With Louis at the center, silver shockwaves billowed outward!
Perfect Autonomous State!
BOOM--!
The powerful force surged like ten thousand galloping horses, causing the magnetic field to fluctuate and space to distort.
The entire Void Battlefield was engulfed by the silver shockwaves, resembling a vast, turbulent ocean!
And with his body moving on instinct, Louis dodged those ten spheres of Destruction energy.
As this scene fell into the eyes of the Gods of Destruction, those who had been mocking Beerus moments ago fell into dead silence.
"..."
A second passed.
The group of Gods of Destruction erupted in an uproar.
"Impossible!!!!!!"
"Autonomous State!!!!"
"How could this kid possibly possess the Autonomous State!!!"
"Beerus, tell me, is this fake!!"
Every God of Destruction was plunged into a world of shock.
It was too terrifying!
One had to know that the Autonomous State was a realm of the Angel level; it was inherently difficult to comprehend, and it could be said that almost no one present could grasp it.
Even if someone could, only the strongest God of Destruction, Beerus, would have the possibility!
But what the Gods of Destruction did not know was that, in truth, even Beerus had not grasped this realm.
He was still a hair's breadth away from even touching the Rudimentary Autonomous State.
"Hahaha!"
Beerus laughed heartily. Seeing these guys who had mocked him for over a decade wearing expressions as if they had just eaten dung, it was hard not to be happy.
"How about that? Still mocking me for taking a brat as a Candidate God of Destruction?"
"Don't get cocky. I'll say it again: having talent is nothing; only true strength is what matters!"
Quitela gritted his teeth, his heart burning with envy.
Even he hadn't mastered the Autonomous State, yet this kid could grasp a level belonging to the angels.
Such top-tier talent was truly mouth-watering.
If only he were his own successor.
At this moment, Quitela had forgotten how he had mocked Beerus earlier.
"Right, even if he possesses the Autonomous State, so what?"
Champa clenched his fists:
"Among the candidates present, whose power isn't at the second level of the God Realm?"
"1 against 10—even with the Autonomous State, winning is impossible!"
"Stamina is his biggest problem!"
"Go, take that brat down!"
Heles and the other Gods of Destruction shouted in succession.
If Louis actually managed to hold out, they wouldn't be able to mock Beerus; instead, they would be the ones mocked in return.
11 against 10, and they still couldn't win!
Given Beerus's personality, he would certainly hold this over their heads forever.
What a disgrace!
Hearing the orders from the Gods of Destruction, the stunned candidates unleashed all their power at once.
BOOM!
The Void Battlefield trembled as if the world were ending, the erupting purple light blindingly intense.
Fortunately, the Void Battlefield was crafted by angels, or the Earth would have been shaken to its core.
As 10 streaks of purple light tore through the sky, rushing toward him, Louis twisted his body and lunged straight at them.
He had even withstood a full-force strike from Whis; would he fear these 10 guys with power at the second level of the God Realm?
Louis moved rapidly, weaving into the silver light.
BANG!
BANG!
The immense power churned the air, instantly whipping up a violent hurricane.
With every punch and kick!
Relying on the Autonomous State, Louis moved naturally between the 10 Candidate Gods of Destruction, landing a strike on them from time to time.
This was hard for the candidates to accept. Was the Autonomous State really that powerful?
He could actually take on 10 opponents at once!
And remain unscathed while being swarmed!
The Gods of Destruction were shocked, but the expressions of the angels began to change.
Soon, the angels widened their eyes, turning their heads one after another to look at Whis.
Whis rubbed his nose: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Kusu said with a grave expression: "Whis, is this Louis capable of ignoring damage?"
The other angels also stared intently at Whis.
They had known early on that Louis could use the Autonomous State, and a perfect one at that, so they hadn't been surprised when he entered the state.
But the moment Louis counterattacked, they realized something was wrong.
Louis wasn't just using the Autonomous State to perfectly dodge the candidates' attacks; he was being hit and simply ignoring the damage!
"Haha, you saw it, didn't you? Why ask me?" Whis said with a faint smile.
BOOM!
It was true!
He really could ignore attacks!
The angels swallowed hard. Refusing to believe it, they hurriedly turned their heads to watch the battle in the distance.
