Vengeance

The Grand Priest frowned as his own attack was dissipated by Goten's aura. A few days ago, this attack could have easily killed Goten, who would have had no resistance. But he hadn't expected Goten's strength to grow so powerful in the Void Realm. More importantly, he sensed Merno's Angel power in Goten's ki, a feeling he recognized instantly.

'Merno, do you actually want to fight me and Lord Zeno this way? It's useless. God's rules cannot be broken by anyone. The guys in the 13th Universe couldn't do it back then, and Goten can't do it now,' the Grand Priest thought to himself.

His determination to kill Goten grew even stronger. After dealing with Goten, everything would be over. No one—whether mortal, God, or Angel—could challenge Zeno's divine authority.

Distracted for a moment, the Grand Priest was punched by Goten. Dozens of portals appeared around the Grand Priest's body, and in the next second, dozens of fists hit every part of him. However, a protective barrier appeared around the Grand Priest, easily blocking all the attacks. Goten's assaults, even at his current power level, couldn't harm the most powerful existence in the multiverse.

"Haa!!" Goten raised his ki again, and a purple-red divine flame formed a beam of light, directly expanding over the entire seventh universe. The surrounding universes shook violently. He followed up with another attack on the Grand Priest, combining Instant Movement and the portals for a stormy assault. But the attacks had no effect on the Grand Priest; his barrier was as hard as a turtle's shell.

'Damn it! Is this the strength of the Grand Priest? The attack just now didn't affect him at all! It's ridiculous. I thought that after reaching this level, I would have at least half the strength of a Grand Priest! But now it seems my thoughts were naive...' Goten realized the gap between them.

Even after 75 years of training in the Void Realm, he couldn't change this disparity. To defeat the Grand Priest, he needed to master a more powerful force, perhaps the power of the laws.

"It's useless, Goten. Although your current strength surpasses many powerful beings in the universe, at this level, you cannot defeat me," the Grand Priest said lightly. Despite Goten's talent, he was just a mortal who had been training for a hundred years, while the Grand Priest had survived millions of years. His position as Grand Priest spoke volumes about his talent; he couldn't be easily defeated by a mortal.

"Stop talking nonsense!!" Goten roared. He abandoned all flashy offensive abilities, knowing that neither the space-time travel ability of the Time ring nor Instant Movement and the portals could harm the Grand Priest. To defeat him, he needed to fight head-on.

In an instant, Goten turned into a purple-red light beam, rushing toward the Grand Priest. Punch after punch came out, with several million punches blasted within a breath. Yet, the Grand Priest easily dodged all of Goten's attacks.

'Is the gap so big?' Goten's expression grew more serious. If this continued, defeating the Grand Priest would be impossible, and he might be killed. Although he was very unwilling, he knew he had to leave to survive and have any hope.

Whoosh!!

Goten punched out again. This time, the Grand Priest didn't dodge but instead grabbed Goten's fist. As soon as the fist was grabbed, Goten felt as if he were bound by a huge iron clamp. No matter how he tried to break free, he couldn't escape the Grand Priest's grasp.

"It's over, Goten. Die!" The Grand Priest's calm voice resonated as a powerful purple flame burst from his body, devouring Goten. Just as he was about to be completely swallowed by the flames, Goten used the Time ring, disappearing in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was in the God of Destruction realm of the 11th Universe. At that moment, Marcarita was training with Toppo, while Belmod enjoyed delicious food, attended by two delicate jester maids he had selected from a planet to serve him.

Belmod relished the feeling of being served, especially after Goten was imprisoned by the Grand Priest. He was in a great mood, thinking that Zeno might completely erase Goten when he woke up, which was worth celebrating.

Suddenly, Goten appeared before everyone. Marcarita reacted first, glancing at the sky and recognizing the familiar portal. The powerful aura emanating from Goten's body was eerily familiar, similar to her older brother Merno. Goten even held an Angel scepter.

"That's... Goten!!" Toppo exclaimed as he saw Goten. The overwhelming sense of oppression hit him instantly, and before he could react, he was crushed to the ground, unable to move.

Belmod, who had been enjoying himself, stood up abruptly, terrified to see Goten in the God of Destruction Realm. "No... impossible!!" he muttered, sweating profusely and trembling. He couldn't understand how Goten, who had been imprisoned by the Grand Priest, was here, and why he had an Angel staff.

"Son Goten!! You're holding Merno's staff. What did you do to Merno?" Marcarita asked, frowning. She recognized the staff as Merno's and was puzzled by Goten's ki, which had a hint of Merno's Angel power.

"What a stupid question. Isn't it obvious?" Goten said with a faint smile. He flashed and appeared directly in front of Belmod like a ghost. "We meet again, Belmod. It's such a small world! You seem a little scared. What's the matter? As a dignified God of Destruction, are you actually afraid of a mortal?"

Goten grabbed Belmod by the neck, lifting him into the air like a chicken. Belmod, feeling the powerful aura and the oppressive feeling that only the Grand Priest and Zeno had, despaired completely. He had no will to resist, thinking only of death.

Under such circumstances, even Marcarita couldn't save him.

"Goten, please let go of Lord Belmod immediately. You've already killed Lord Quitela and committed heinous crimes. If you kill Lord Belmod now, Lord Zeno and the Grand Priest will never let you go!" she pleaded, knowing in her heart that mentioning their names might not threaten Goten at all.

"Sorry! I admit that your father is very strong, but if he wants to kill me, he will have to catch me first," Goten replied. As he finished speaking, a purple-black portal appeared in the sky of the God of Destruction Realm. The Grand Priest had come after him quickly. Goten had used the Time ring and Instant Transmission to get here, yet the Grand Priest had caught up in less than half a minute.

Seeing the Grand Priest, Marcarita sighed in relief, and Belmod, who had been desperate, saw hope rekindle in his eyes. With the Grand Priest there, he was surely saved. No matter how strong Goten had become, he could never kill him in front of the Grand Priest...

"Goten, do you insist on being an enemy of the Gods?" the Grand Priest asked, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at Goten. "If you continue to kill the God of Destruction now, no one will be able to save you. If you give up resistance now, based on Lord Zeno's liking for you, there may still be a chance of survival."

Goten stood firm. He had now mastered the ability to travel through Time and possessed skills like Dimensional Portal and Instant Transmission. More importantly, his fighting power was immensely strong. In the entire universe, there were probably not many who could kill Goten. It was indeed not an easy task to defeat him.

"What a joke," Goten sneered. "Do you think I'm going to pin my last hopes on that little bastard? Stop joking around. The culprit who started this is here without consequences, and I've been stuck in that place for over 70 years. Do you still expect me to believe your nonsense?"

A burst of purple destructive power appeared in Goten's palm. Belmod's body turned intangible and disappeared instantly without a trace. The Grand Priest's expression turned extremely ugly as he watched this scene. In his slightly squinted eyes, a cold killing intent burst out. For millions of years, no one had ever been so arrogant as to dare to kill a god in front of him. This was the greatest challenge to the authority of God. Goten could never be forgiven.

"Bye now!" Goten said, killing Belmod easily and completely. The body disappeared again. Not even an Angel's ability to go back in time could save Belmod from Goten's wrath. Maybe the Grand Priest had a way, but now he had to catch up with Goten. Other universes' Gods of Destruction might suffer next, with the tenth Universe's Rumsshi being the next target since he also participated in that battle.

"Father, even you are unable to kill Goten completely?" Marcarita asked with an extremely serious face. In her impression, her father was an omniscient and omnipotent existence. There was no opponent in the multiverse at all. But she didn't expect him to be played by a mortal like this today!

"Goten has mastered the powers of Time and Space, abilities similar to Merno's Dimensional Portal, and Supreme Kai's Instant Transmission. It's not that easy to kill him. Unless Lord Zeno steps in," the Grand Priest explained.

Although his tone was calm, his heart was not. In the next second, his body disappeared again. He had to prevent the other Universe's God of Destruction from being killed. If Zeno woke up and found that all of this had something to do with Merno, the situation would be quite bad. Zeno might be furious because of this.

...

After Goten disappeared instantly, he arrived in the God of Destruction Realm of the Tenth Universe. At this time, Rumsshi of the Tenth Universe knew he was bound to die. Goten was now obviously stronger than before. He could kill Rumsshi in a split second, and even an Angel couldn't stop it.

"Goten, what do you want? You've already killed a God of Destruction. Isn't that enough?" Kusu stood in front of Rumsshi in an instant and said to Goten in a cold tone. Although she looked like a little Lolita, she was the oldest Angel besides Merno. Her momentum was unmatched by the other Angels.

"Not enough... It's not enough to kill all the Gods of Destruction," Goten roared immediately. Then he laughed suddenly and said, "But I've changed my mind now! Killing the Gods of Destruction makes the Grand Priest feel like their authority is being challenged, but he doesn't care if a God of Destruction lives or dies. However, he seems to be very concerned about Merno's life and death. It seems that the Grand Priest has special feelings for his children!"

"In that case..." Goten's words trailed off. In an instant, he transformed into his perfect form, a perfect state of the combination of Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. Then his body instantly appeared in front of Kusu and Rumsshi. His hands directly pinched the necks of the two of them. At this moment, the Grand Priest caught up with him again.

Click! Crack!

At the moment he appeared, he heard the crisp sound of bone cracking.
