Angelic Power

Through his battle with Whis, Ōten had gained a great deal. He then said to Gohan, "I'm going into seclusion. I have a feeling that this time, I should be able to break through my limits and reach an entirely new level!"

His strength had already reached the level of the strongest God of Destruction. After another period of seclusion, combined with the sign-in rewards afterward, he might truly break through his current realm!

At the same time, Ōten could not help feeling a faint anticipation. This time, he had to break through to angelic power!

Gohan nodded at his words. "Lord Ōten, please focus on your seclusion. I won't let anyone disturb you!"

Watching Ōten's departing figure, Gohan revealed an expectant smile!

He was truly looking forward to seeing just how far Lord Ōten would ultimately go!

At that thought, he tilted his head and looked toward Whis in the distance. Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "Lord Whis's strength is also unfathomable. I wonder if Lord Ōten will be able to surpass him once he completes his seclusion?"

Gohan had no clear understanding of Beerus and Whis's respective strength. He merely felt that both were exceptionally powerful, and he always had the impression that Beerus was somewhat stronger than Whis. After all, judging by how they addressed each other, Beerus was the master while Whis was the servant!

At this moment!

Ōten stepped into the gravity chamber Whis had specially prepared for him, where the gravity could be adjusted at will!

At his current level, it did not really matter how many times stronger the gravity was. However, what Ōten wanted to improve was his foundational combat power, so he had to undergo the most basic training. That was why the gravity chamber was necessary!

Once his cultivation ended and he received the system's sign-in rewards from Destruction God's Realm, there would definitely be a pleasant surprise!

Although training his foundational combat power allowed it to grow very quickly, that growth was still hardly worth mentioning compared to the combat power granted by the system's sign-in rewards!

Moreover, Ōten had a feeling that this seclusion would bring him to an entirely new realm. He might truly attain the combat power of an angel, and he was greatly looking forward to it!

Then, Ōten began his hellish training!

Before long, the sounds of rapid movement came from within the gravity chamber!

Time always passed quickly!

Three months later!

Ōten slowly emerged from the gravity chamber!

At this moment, his face was filled with excitement!

Through this period of secluded cultivation, he had finally broken through the bottleneck of his foundational combat power and reached a new level!

And three days earlier, the system rewards had arrived as well!

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing 100 days of sign-ins in Destruction God's Realm!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 100 million foundational combat power!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining King Kai Fist!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the time reversal skill: reverse time by three seconds!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 20 Senzu Beans!"

Ōten's status panel also appeared in his mind!

[Host: Ōten]

[Bloodline: Saiyan]

[Combat Power: Angelic Power]

[Skills: Kamehameha, King Kai Fist, Instant Transmission, Three-Second Time Reversal, Beginner Ultra Instinct]

[Items Owned: 20 Senzu Beans]

As he read the status panel in his mind, the system had clearly stated that his combat power had reached the angelic level!

However, angels also varied in strength. As for exactly what level he had reached, that could only be determined by truly fighting an angel!

He had even obtained the Three-Second Time Reversal skill this time. For a powerhouse at his level, it was extremely useful. Reversing time by three seconds in the middle of battle could produce unexpected results. It was somewhat similar to Hit's Time-Skip!

And since Hit could evolve Time-Skip, Ōten believed that through cultivation, he could continuously evolve his time reversal as well. If he could reach Whis's level of time reversal, it would become one of his most important trump cards!

"Not bad!"

Ōten was in an exceptionally good mood. Moreover, his goal was not merely to become an angel. He believed that before long, he would definitely become one of the supreme existences in Dragon Ball—even Zeno would have to concede defeat before him!

Whoosh!

Ōten vanished from where he stood. When he appeared outside the door, he found Gohan sitting at the entrance in a daze!

"Gohan!"

Gohan was visibly stunned for a moment before rising excitedly. "Lord Ōten, you've finally come out!"

"Judging from your expression, you must have gained a great deal!"

Seeing the heartfelt joy in Gohan's eyes, Ōten nodded in satisfaction!

"I was fortunate enough to make a breakthrough!"

"Gohan, go get some rest. Next time, I'll begin your special training!"

Hearing that his special training was finally about to begin, Gohan answered excitedly before heading toward his room!

During Ōten's seclusion, Gohan had indeed guarded the entrance for the full three months. He had been afraid that someone might disturb Ōten's cultivation!

The Goku father-and-son pair's sincerity and complete lack of ulterior motives truly made them likable!

Ōten slowly made his way to the place where Goku and Vegeta trained!

At this moment, the two were sparring with Beerus!

What was unusual was that Beerus was not sleeping. Instead, he was training Goku and Vegeta, which was rather strange!

Previously, he had always directly handed their training over to Whis. And whenever their cultivation was too noisy and disturbed his rest, he would fly into a rage!

Whis, who was drinking coffee nearby, looked at Ōten as he approached!

His first reaction was shock!

Once Ōten drew closer, Whis narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Lord Ōten? Is that really you, Lord Ōten?"

Hearing Whis's question, Ōten touched his face. Did my appearance change? It shouldn't have. Gohan recognized me at a glance just now!

Moreover, it was the first time Ōten had seen Whis wear such an expression. Before this, Whis had always looked relaxed, with a smile on his face!

Ōten sat down beside Whis!

Whis continued, "It seems Lord Ōten gained quite a lot from this seclusion. Your aura and the power you radiate are vastly different from before!"

Ōten thought for a moment. "Perhaps it's because I broke through to a new realm."

Whis shook his head and said solemnly, "The changes from this seclusion are far more than something as simple as breaking through a realm!"

"At this moment, I can actually sense a sharp intent from you, along with an indescribable feeling!"

Whis then fell into thought!

After a while, Whis cried out, "That's it—intent!"

"Lord Ōten is now surrounded by an exceedingly sharp intent!"

"Intent?"

Ōten was stunned to hear a term that even he, as a transmigrator, had never heard before!

"Intent, also called artistic conception, is something intangible and elusive!"

Whis slowly explained!

"The main prerequisite for producing intent is for one's combat power to break through the level of a God of Destruction. As things stand, even Lord Beerus has yet to comprehend the existence of intent. As far as I know, only Lord Mei, the God of Destruction of the Seventeenth Universe, has comprehended it. He is also the one Lord Beerus has always wanted to surpass!"

Ōten was deeply shocked upon hearing this. So breaking through the combat power of a God of Destruction would produce something called intent. But as for what intent truly was, he was still completely confused!

"What ability your intent possesses will require you to explore it yourself. Once each person develops artistic conception, they can apply it in battle. That is what it truly means to surpass a God of Destruction!"

"If Lord Beerus were not so lazy, then with his talent, he would have every chance of comprehending perfect Ultra Instinct and the power of intent, becoming the strongest God of Destruction in one leap!"

Whis said solemnly!

"And Lord Ōten... you should have already surpassed the level of a God of Destruction, haven't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Whis kept examining Ōten, his heart filled with astonishment!
