An invisible power of time spread from the depths of the chaos, freezing the time of the entire Null Realm.
And at the instant this power of time expanded, an unfathomably profound energy countless levels superior to the Power of Destruction swept forth, annihilating both Talot’s and Beerus’s finishing moves together and reducing them to nothingness.
【You’ve finally made your move, Whis.】The moment Talot sensed the expanding power of time, he had already guessed who had intervened.
Aside from an Angel, no one else possessed methods of this level.
“Whis? It is… yet it somehow doesn’t seem to be…” After sensing that familiar Angel power, Beerus seemed to have guessed something, yet he was also somewhat doubtful.
But aside from Whis, there truly seemed to be no one else.
“This battle ends here. You went too far, Lord Beerus. And you as well, Talot, Saiyan from another timeline.” Whis’s voice echoed throughout the surrounding space. Immediately afterward, a surge of power of space appeared.
Angel Whis, Angel Vados, and God of Destruction Champa directly arrived at the center of the battlefield.
Beerus and Talot were also brought across space from the edge of the chaos.
【Even they came? I was so focused on my battle with Beerus that I completely failed to notice other people had entered the Null Realm.】Talot thought to himself.
“Whis, you shouldn’t have stopped me. If I had pushed that attack back just now, that guy would’ve been completely destroyed!” A deep gloom flashed through Beerus’s eyes as he spoke indignantly.
Although the situation just now had been extremely dangerous, he was certain that he could have won!
Because the technique Talot had just used was power forcibly increased at a cost. Beerus was different. His power was genuine. If the stalemate had continued, the outcome would inevitably have reversed.
“You are correct, Lord Beerus. However, if you had pushed that attack back, this God of Destruction candidate from another timeline, personally chosen by both you and me, really would have died,” Whis said.
The moment those words came out, not only was Beerus dumbfounded, even Champa was completely stunned. Vados opened her mouth, then closed it again without saying anything.
“What did you say?! This brat is a God of Destruction candidate chosen by you and me?!” Beerus found it somewhat difficult to accept. One second they had been fighting to the death, and now he was suddenly being told that Talot was one of their own.
What kind of joke was this?!
“Yes. Quite unbelievable, isn’t it, Lord Beerus?” Whis replied with a smile.
“You b*stard… why didn’t you say so earlier?!” Beerus felt utterly humiliated, his dignity as a God of Destruction completely gone.
Damn it. Among all the Gods of Destruction, he was probably the only one who had ever been pushed this far by his own candidate.
Still, the fact that Talot could contend with him to this extent was enough to prove that his counterpart in another timeline had good judgment.
“If you had known from the beginning, wouldn’t you have missed the chance to get some exercise?” Whis covered his mouth and chuckled.
Beerus’s mouth twitched repeatedly at those words.
He finally understood. Whis had deliberately been setting him up.
Now that Talot’s identity had been clarified, Beerus no longer maintained his hostility. The Power of Destruction around him dissipated as he let out a long breath.
Seeing this, Talot likewise released his Super Saiyan Blue 3 • Ultra Ego transformation.
The moment he reverted, an intense feeling of emptiness surged through his body, as though he had been completely drained dry.
Fortunately, his foundation was solid. Otherwise, he would have passed out the instant he released the transformation.
Without showing any outward reaction, Talot used his thoughts to take out a Senzu Bean from his personal storage space, making it appear directly inside his mouth. He swallowed it and recovered to a certain extent.
At the very least, his injuries and stamina were restored.
“Tch~!” Beerus looked at Talot, then turned his head away in displeasure. With that, the battle finally came to an end.
At this moment, Champa, who had been playing the role of an invisible bystander for quite some time, could no longer hold himself back and stepped forward.
“Then here’s the question. What are we supposed to do with this Saiyan from another timeline? And what does the Grand Priest mean by all this? Also, you brat, how did you suddenly end up in our timeline?” Champa’s gaze swept toward Whis as he asked.
Hearing this, Beerus was stunned for a moment. He still did not understand what was going on.
Just as he was about to ask, Talot calmly began explaining, “It’s rather troublesome to explain, so to make a long story short, this is basically what happened…”
And so, this happened, and that happened.
After Talot’s explanation, along with some teasing remarks, everyone finally understood what had happened.
“Alright. Since this farce is over, it’s about time we left this place…” Whis spoke, then focused his gaze on Talot and said, “Actually, I have already contacted my counterpart from the other timeline and learned about you. First of all, welcome to our timeline. Then, after we return, I’ll need to take you to meet the Grand Priest. What do you think?”
The moment the title “Grand Priest” was mentioned, especially when they heard that he wanted to meet Talot, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Champa and Beerus were both badly frightened. The two brothers looked at each other with expressions of extreme shock.
“So I was the only one who didn’t know from the beginning that the Grand Priest had already noticed this battle? And Whis, you b*stard, you should’ve told me the truth from the start!!” Beerus was completely panicked now.
Drawing the attention of the supreme Angel, the Grand Priest, was definitely not a good thing.
If things went badly, he might even lose his position as God of Destruction.
Just think about it. Normally, the boss stayed high above, while he only needed to complete the most basic work below and could slack off indefinitely.
Then one day, the boss suddenly checked the monitor.
If he happened to displease the boss, the consequences would be extremely miserable.
A God of Destruction might stand at the pinnacle of a universe, but before the Grand Priest and Lord Zeno, they were nothing more than ants.
“Just wait to be punished by the Grand Priest. You really went too far this time, didn’t you? If you actually end up being judged, I think this brat would make a pretty good God of Destruction.” Champa wore an expression as though none of this concerned him and even began teasing Beerus.
Seeing his brother so frustrated filled him with delight.
Of course, he was only joking. If things truly reached that point, he would still plead on Beerus’s behalf.
At this moment, Talot was equally astonished.
How could he possibly be unfamiliar with the existence of the Grand Priest?
As the publicly acknowledged ceiling of power level in the Dragon Ball world, the Grand Priest’s strength was beyond question, and he was also one of the top-tier existences in countless fanfiction novels.
Talot truly could not imagine why such an important figure wanted to summon him…
Because he had come from another timeline?
Or perhaps…
“So, what is your decision?” Whis asked.
Talot looked at Whis and nodded. “It seems I don’t really have the right to choose. Since the Grand Priest wants to see me, then I’ll meet him. I’m also very curious about what kind of existence the Grand Priest truly is.”
