God of Destruction Realm.
"Fuwah—"
Beryl, yawning, got out of bed and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"I'm so sleepy. The work of a God of Destruction is just that simple and unpretentious."
Casually putting on her clothes, Beryl walked out of the room.
However, Angel Kusu was standing outside the door.
"Good morning, Lady Beryl."
"There's no such thing as morning; we're not on a planet," Beryl yawned repeatedly. "Kusu, how long have I been asleep?"
She felt like her bones were a bit uncomfortable from sleeping.
"Two weeks."
Beryl: "?"
"I didn't feel it at all; it seemed to pass in an instant."
"Perhaps you have adapted to the work of a God of Destruction. Regular Gods of Destruction usually use sleep to stabilize the Destruction Energy within their bodies and keep it under control, much like meditation on some planets."
"Some Gods of Destruction in certain Universes sleep for hundreds of thousands of years. I remember in Universe 14, there was once an extremely sleepy God of Destruction who, due to sleeping for too long, caused the Supreme Kai to be killed, and then, he died inexplicably in a muddled state."
Beryl: "..."
"However, you don't need to worry about such things."
Kusu saw the astonished expression on Beryl's face and couldn't help but explain,
"That God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai had a symbiotic relationship; if the Supreme Kai died, the God of Destruction would also die."
Hearing Kusu's explanation, Beryl recalled that when she went to Zeno's Palace, neither Zeno nor the Grand Minister mentioned it, nor was there any mention of her learning the Creation Energy of the Supreme Kai.
It was as if they didn't care about this matter at all.
"Speaking of the Supreme Kai, I don't recall the Grand Minister or Zeno arranging a Supreme Kai for me," Beryl said, puzzled.
"You, don't you know?" Kusu tilted her head, a hint of surprise in her voice.
"The note with runes that the Grand Minister gave you, in reality..."
Kusu's voice paused, "...has already sold me to you."
Beryl: "???"
"Simply put, for the Universe's laws, unless Zeno explicitly intends to do something, such as erasing the Universe, Zeno will not interfere with the Universe 10 for anything else that does not cause a significant drop in the overall Universe's coefficient."
"In other words, most of the laws established when the Universe was founded do not apply to the current Universe 10."
"Even Zeno and the Grand Minister, if they want to measure the Universe 10's coefficient, can only obtain our Universe's comprehensive coefficient by subtracting the coefficients of other Universes from the overall Universe coefficient."
Uh, it sounds like there's no difference, but it also seems to have a big difference.
Kusu continued, "The contract between you and me basically means I am completely bound to you."
"If your power can surpass mine, then my power will also increase accordingly. The extent of the increase is related to the upper limit you can reach."
"If Lady Beryl is killed, then I will also die."
"Just like the current relationship between the Grand Minister and Zeno."
"This... so that's how it is!" Beryl exclaimed with emotion.
She hadn't expected the Grand Minister and Zeno to be so closely linked.
"However, Kusu, is it really okay for you to tell me secrets concerning the Grand Minister and Zeno?"
"It's fine," Kusu shook her head. "The current Grand Minister is just my father; he also taught us this way."
"If we truly become opponents, he won't show any mercy."
Beryl: "..."
With this kind of teaching, isn't the Grand Minister afraid of future filial piety from his daughter?
"So, Lady Beryl, for the future of our Universe, please work hard!"
"Uh, I want to ask a question, Kusu. Does your immunity to the Universe's laws mean you can intervene as you please?"
An Angel, even if not the strongest, can easily solo the Gods of Destruction of twelve Universes.
With that kind of power, what else do you need?
"Please abandon such dangerous thoughts. I am just an Angel not skilled in combat. From another perspective, Angels can only be considered a superior replacement for Supreme Kai."
The existence of the Supreme Kai is to comprehensively balance the Destruction Energy within the God of Destruction, preventing it from going out of control.
And the existence of Angels is to teach the God of Destruction how to use Destruction Energy.
"This... I was just thinking about it, wasn't I?" Beryl said with an awkward smile.
She had been thinking of calling for help if she couldn't beat other Gods of Destruction in a fight later.
"You should still focus on training. After avenging Lord Rumsshi, you've been quite lax lately." Kusu's scepter tapped Beryl's forehead. Beryl didn't resist and stuck out her tongue.
"I also want to train, but I feel my power increase has reached a bottleneck."
"What about transformations?"
Due to the contract, Kusu sensed a very powerful force within Beryl's body.
"Didn't you say I should train in base form?" Beryl said after a moment of silence.
"Honestly, I can't control that state."
It wasn't a normal Saiyan transformation; normal Saiyan transformations only affect personality.
However, because of the appearance of that state, Beryl was worried that if she carelessly transformed into Super Saiyan again, it might become very troublesome in the future.
Especially the new transformation that unexpectedly appeared when chasing Zamasu after Rumsshi was killed.
Although it was only a fleeting moment.
However, if she hadn't sensed the danger of her consciousness being extinguished and suppressed the transformation with her will, the entire Universe might have been destroyed.
That was five years ago, right after Rumsshi died, when the divine position hadn't been fully bestowed yet.
Five years ago, Beryl's power, without further mastery of Destruction Energy, if she didn't use Destruction Energy, was only at Super Saiyan 2.
Now?
"Kusu... I can't control that state. I'm worried something bad will happen, so..."
It was almost as if Destruction Energy, Creation Energy, and the Saiyan transformation bloodline power law were fused together.
Such a transformation seemed to be equivalent to her current base form.
But that's precisely why it was terrifying! That was no ordinary Super Saiyan transformation.
The power of a Super Saiyan, after the base form's power reaches a certain level...
The effect of the transformation, or rather, the multiplier of the transformation, will decline in a curve.
Just like in Dragon Ball Super, opponents that could barely be fought in base form would have roughly similar power after transforming into Super Saiyan, with almost no significant increase.
Fifty times, if you truly calculate it that way...
Opponents that could barely be fought in base form would definitely be instantly killed after transformation.
But when did that ever happen?
For example, when Son Goku fought the three dogs of Universe 9, whether he transformed into Super Saiyan or not, the difference wasn't that big.
Except for Super Saiyan 3, which had a relatively large difference, the rest were basically similar.
This was especially evident during the Tournament of Power when fighting Kale and Caulifla from Universe 6.
To give another example, consider Broly.
Vegeta, in his Super Saiyan God form, was pushed back, and then Goku, taking advantage of the opening, was able to fight for a while in his base form.
This difference cannot be considered large; it can only be considered incomprehensible.
Since the beginning of Dragon Ball Super, the power of the Gods of Destruction has been continuously increasing.
In the Tournament of Power, could Son Goku's Ultra Instinct truly defeat a regular God of Destruction?
Completely impossible.
For example, in the manga, Vegeta, who was about to master Destruction Energy, was easily defeated by Beerus in just two or three moves.
After becoming a full-fledged God of Destruction, Beryl truly understood how vast the difference was between a God of Destruction with a divine position and a candidate God of Destruction.
How strong a full-fledged God of Destruction in their full power state is something a candidate God of Destruction cannot even imagine; it's almost equivalent to fusing the laws of an entire Universe into their body.
Their essence, spirit, and mind all reach an unimaginable peak.
"Lady Beryl, would you like to try in the Null Realm?" Kusu pondered for a moment before suggesting to Beryl.
"But..." Beryl was still somewhat worried.
"It's fine, Lady Beryl, my power has not increased," Kusu explained. "In other words, even if you transform, you still can't beat me."
"Uh..."
Beryl's cheek twitched.
Although that was true, wasn't it a bit too disheartening?
