Universe 4.

A beam of light pierced through the barrier.

[Ding, check-in mission complete, reward: Prototype of "Erasure"]

Hum!

Inside the cube, Louis's body shuddered as a rule capable of erasing everything began to germinate within him.

The Old Supreme Kai beside him was so terrified that he collapsed to the floor.

Louis was taken aback: "Lord Old Supreme Kai, what is wrong with you?"

The Old Supreme Kai was trembling as he spoke: "You... what was that aura you just emitted?"

If his senses hadn't deceived him, a trace of "Erasure" power had just radiated from Louis.

Gulp!

The Old Supreme Kai swallowed hard. "Erasure" power was a technique only the Grand Priest and Zeno could wield.

Why would this kid...

"I don't know either."

Louis found it hard to explain, so he could only play dumb.

The Old Supreme Kai stood up shakily, staring fixedly at Louis with an increasingly strange look in his eyes.

[Ignore]!

[Erasure]!

[Perfect Autonomous State]!

This kid...

No wonder Whis said this kid was special; he truly has many secrets!!

The Old Supreme Kai recalled the divine aura Whis had mentioned a few years ago.

He could be certain it had to be related to the kid before him!

"Louis, you..."

The Old Supreme Kai opened his mouth, but in the end, he asked nothing.

Seeing the Old Supreme Kai remain silent, Louis breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate the Old Supreme Kai didn't press for answers, or it would have been truly difficult to explain.

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, let's go find Lord Beerus."

"Right, Beerus should be at the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 4."

The Old Supreme Kai looked up: "Whis!!"

Whoosh!!

A holy light appeared inside the cube.

Whis arrived and was slightly stunned: "Louis, didn't I tell you to return to the God of Destruction Realm? Why have you come here?"

Louis rolled his eyes: "If I didn't come, wouldn't Lord Beerus be about to start a fight with Quitela?"

The Old Supreme Kai asked: "Whis, that skinny bag of bones hasn't been acting recklessly, has he?"

Louis held his breath, fearing news that Beerus and Quitela had come to blows.

Whis shook his head and smiled: "Although Lord Beerus is usually quite arrogant, you know his cowardly nature as well as I do, Lord Old Supreme Kai..."

Hearing this, the Old Supreme Kai recalled how Beerus had sealed him away for tens of millions of years simply out of fear of death, and his mouth twitched slightly: "Then what is Lord Beerus doing now?"

Louis was puzzled; wasn't Beerus supposed to be standing up for him?

"Haha, you'll know once you reach the God of Destruction Realm of Universe 4."

Zeno's Palace.

Except for Cognac and Whis, all the other angels were gathered here.

Kusu, the angel of Universe 10, looked at the Grand Priest and said respectfully: "Father, are you aware of the situation in Universe 7?"

The Grand Priest looked at his children and smiled: "What is it?"

Vados, the angel of Universe 6, said: "Over a decade ago, an incredibly divine aura appeared in Universe 7. A few days ago, we went to Universe 7 to investigate this matter..."

"As a result, we discovered that the Candidate God of Destruction of Universe 7 is very special; he mastered the Rule of Destruction in just over ten years."

Cucatail, the angel of Universe 5, added: "Besides that, he has also mastered the Perfect Autonomous State, and most importantly..."

"He is actually able to Ignore any attack!!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the angels present held their breath.

The atmosphere was incredibly heavy.

The angels were suspicious of Louis's identity; no matter how high a mortal's talent might be, it was impossible to achieve this.

One had to realize, among the angels present, which one of them had managed to comprehend the Perfect Autonomous State in just over a decade during their youth?

It was impossible!

Every angel had to endure countless hardships before they could achieve such a result!

If one were to insist it was a matter of innate talent, comprehending the Perfect Autonomous State might be excusable.

But that [Ignore] could not be explained by talent alone!

"So, you are all asking about the identity of that Louis?" the Grand Priest chuckled.

Kusu frowned: "Father, with that expression on your face, could it be that you know his identity?"

The other angels stared intently at the Grand Priest.

The Grand Priest clasped his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and spoke with a sigh: "Actually, when that divine aura appeared over a decade ago, I investigated this matter as well."

"That's right, that aura was released by the Candidate God of Destruction of Universe 7."

Whoosh!

The angels were in an uproar, utterly shocked.

Back then, that divine aura had swept across the entire Zeno Universe; it could be sensed in every corner.

That aura felt like the primordial breath of the world's creation—pure, profound, brilliant, and divine...

In the eyes of the angels, only their father or Zeno could possibly release such power.

They never expected it to have come from the Candidate God of Destruction of Universe 7.

"As for the Ignore ability you mentioned, I have actually tested it myself!"

"And what happened?"

The angels swallowed hard, each of them clenching their fists, their palms slick with sweat.

They wanted to know the answer, yet in their hearts, they already had it.

The Grand Priest had personally tested him over a decade ago...

And the result was that they had only just led their own universes' Candidate God of Destruction to "spar" with Louis.

This meant that Louis was completely unharmed.

In other words, Louis had survived the Grand Priest's test!

"Don't you already have the answer?"

The Grand Priest smiled: "Yes, he survived my test. He truly can Ignore any attack."

BOOM!

Their minds reeled!

The angels were dumbfounded. Even though they had been mentally prepared, hearing the Grand Priest's affirmative answer still left them shocked.

Their father was, after all, the person second only to Zeno!

"Father, then do you know his identity?" Kusu asked hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, he wouldn't be from the Dark Demon Realm, would he?" Campari asked.

"There is no dark aura on that young man; he cannot be from the Dark Demon Realm."

"Right, if he were truly from the Dark Demon Realm, Whis would have certainly discovered it and would not have taken him on as a Candidate God of Destruction."

The angels spoke one after another.

"Enough."

The Grand Priest waved his hand: "Actually, I have some guesses, and I have also indirectly probed Zeno's thoughts on the matter..."

The Grand Priest fell silent, saying no more.

But the expression on the Grand Priest's face told the angels that their father had likely guessed Louis's identity, and it was related to Zeno...

This!

The angels looked at each other, seeing the shock in one another's eyes.

"No matter what he does, you are not to interfere!"

The Grand Priest looked at the angels, his face solemn: "Did you hear my words clearly?"

The angels felt a tightening in their chests and quickly responded: "Yes!"

Suddenly!

A faint aura of "Erasure" drifted over from Universe 4.

The other angels showed no reaction.

But...

Kusu's pupils constricted violently. She turned her head to look deep into Zeno's Palace, then glanced at her father.

"Father!!!!"

"Enough, stay out of this!"

At this moment, the Grand Priest looked toward the direction of Universe 4, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

The other angels were completely bewildered; what had come over their eldest sister and their father?
