After hearing Talot’s words, Beerus and Champa were extremely conflicted.
They did not want to go at all.
Vados, standing nearby, regarded Talot more highly. To still remain so composed after learning that the Grand Priest had summoned him was indeed quite impressive.
Moreover, since he had managed to attract the Grand Priest’s attention, she became increasingly curious about what secrets were hidden within this Saiyan named Talot.
“In that case, Sister, please take Lord Beerus and Lord Champa back to Earth first. I’ll take Talot to Zeno’s Palace,” Whis said.
“Very well,” Vados replied with a nod.
Without a summons from the Grand Priest, she could not go there without permission, even though she very much wanted to.
Beerus and Champa, standing nearby, were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Not having to go to Zeno’s Palace to meet the Grand Priest and Lord Zeno was an immense blessing.
“Since you won’t let me go, Whis, then I won’t,” Beerus said, still putting on a haughty expression.
He simply had not expected Whis to expose him in the very next second. “In that case, why doesn’t Lord Beerus come along to pay his respects to the Grand Priest? It truly has been a long time since your last visit.”
“Uh~~! Forget it, forget it. I’d better return to Earth. They went to the trouble of preparing so much delicious food to entertain us, so I can’t simply leave without a word. Besides, there is still the God of Destruction and Angel from Universe 6 here,” Beerus said awkwardly, swiftly coming up with an excuse.
“Is that so?” Whis asked with a narrowed-eyed smile. Seeing that the joke had gone far enough, he chuckled and continued, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Sister.”
Vados nodded with a light smile.
Immediately afterward, the two Angels acted simultaneously. Vados took God of Destruction Champa and Beerus away from the Null Realm and returned to Earth.
Meanwhile, Whis used his Angel power to restore Talot’s origin power, then took Talot away from the Null Realm and headed toward another supreme divine realm.
……
Beyond the twelve universes.
Within Zeno’s Palace.
At the entrance to the great hall.
The supreme Angel, the Grand Priest, had already been waiting there for quite some time.
As time passed, ripples soon spread through the space at the entrance of Zeno’s Palace.
The next second, Whis arrived at Zeno’s Palace with Talot.
“Greetings, Lord Grand Priest,” Whis said as soon as he arrived, bowing slightly to the Grand Priest to show his respect.
The moment Talot saw the Grand Priest, he was intimidated by the profound and unfathomable aura surrounding him.
Although he knew of the Grand Priest, this was his first time seeing him.
This elusive and unfathomable aura truly lived up to his title as the ceiling of the Dragon Ball world.
Had he not noticed the Grand Priest at first glance, he feared he would not even have been able to sense where the other party was.
[What a terrifying existence… The gap between our strength is far, far too vast.] Talot thought to himself.
While he was sizing up the Grand Priest, the Grand Priest was also observing him.
In the Grand Priest’s eyes, Talot was currently shrouded in a layer of fog that even he could not see through.
This was also one of the main reasons the Grand Priest was interested in him.
“Whis, you may withdraw for now. There are some matters I need to discuss with him alone,” the Grand Priest instructed.
Whis’s mind stirred when he heard this. He was surprised, but did not show it.
“As you command, Lord Grand Priest,” Whis replied before glancing at Talot.
After the two exchanged looks and nodded, Whis left and returned to Universe 7.
Now, only the Grand Priest and Talot remained at the entrance of the sacred and magnificent Zeno’s Palace.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy, so heavy that Talot did not know how to speak or how to address the other party.
“Relax. There is no need to be so nervous. You only need to address me as the Grand Priest,” the Grand Priest said in an extremely approachable manner. Yet the more approachable he was, the greater the pressure Talot felt.
“Yes, Lord Grand Priest.” For the first time, Talot addressed someone with an honorific.
“You must be wondering why I summoned you, correct?” the Grand Priest asked with a broad smile.
Talot did not answer and merely nodded.
“I have contacted the Grand Priests from other spacetime planes, and I also learned about you. There are countless timelines, and it is truly no easy feat for a powerful warrior like you to emerge. I know that you already possess the ability to travel between timelines and have also quelled disasters that occurred in some timelines. However, at the same time, you have also caused certain timelines to head in unknown directions. Some of these directions are good, while others are bad. As for how they will ultimately turn out, only time will tell …” the Grand Priest slowly explained to Talot.
“So, you summoned me here this time because of that?” Talot asked in response.
The Grand Priest already knew everything he had done in the other timelines, yet he had not driven him away. There had to be a more important reason behind this.
“Yes, and no.” The Grand Priest smiled mysteriously, then continued, “I hope you can remain in this timeline for a while longer. On the one hand, a crisis involving Time and Space distortion has also appeared in this timeline, and I would like you to help deal with it… On the other hand, I want to see just how great an impact you can have on our world. After all, you are a unique existence among the countless timelines. I want to see where the future will go because of you…”
After learning the Grand Priest’s deeper intentions, Talot fell into deep thought.
Remaining in this timeline suited him perfectly.
However, staying here forever was out of the question.
Should he agree or refuse?
It seemed he had no room to refuse…
After thinking for a long while, Talot finally said, “All right. I can temporarily remain in this timeline and help deal with the Time and Space distortion crisis that has appeared here. However, I cannot stay here forever. After all, my family is in another timeline.”
This was precisely the answer the Grand Priest wanted.
“Then our agreement is hereby established. In return, I can promise to grant you one request within the limits of my abilities,” the Grand Priest promised.
“Will this request within the limits of your abilities remain valid at any time? If I travel to another timeline, can I still have you fulfill the promise?” Talot’s eyes lit up.
With the promise of a supreme Angel, wouldn’t he be able to go wherever he pleased throughout every timeline from now on?
A supreme life-saving talisman?
Although it might not be of much use to him, who would object to being protected by a supreme existence?
“Of course,” the Grand Priest answered with a smile.
“All right, I understand.” A smile appeared on Talot’s face. He had never expected to encounter such an opportunity after arriving in this Super timeline.
After receiving Talot’s affirmative answer, the Grand Priest raised his hand. A special mark floated out and finally landed between Talot’s eyebrows.
“There is no need to be nervous, much less afraid. This is a communication mark that will allow you to contact me from any timeline at any time. In addition, there is actually another extremely important matter, but I will tell you about it when you leave this timeline,” the Grand Priest said, making Talot’s heart tighten once again.
He knew things could not be that simple.
First, he was given a sweetener, and then he would be made to do the hard work.
“All right. It seems I don’t have the ability to resist anyway.” Talot revealed an expression caught between laughter and tears.
The Grand Priest nodded with a broad smile and asked, “Then, do you need me to send you back?”
[That’s it?] Talot felt even more depressed.
But after thinking about it, it made sense. The other party was the Grand Priest. How could he have time to chat idly with him?
“With my abilities, I can return on my own. There is no need to trouble you, Lord Grand Priest.” Talot bade farewell to the Grand Priest, used the power of space he had mastered to open a passage leading directly to Earth in Universe 7, and stepped inside.
As he entered, the spatial passage closed, and the vast Zeno’s Palace once again returned to its former tranquility.
The Grand Priest stared at the spot where Talot had disappeared, the smile on his face growing increasingly mysterious.
Then, through his divine telepathy, he sent a message to Whis…
