"Lord Beerus, don't worry too much. Although Goten's character is indeed arrogant, I don't think he is the kind of person who has no limits. After seeing Lord Zeno, he won't say arrogant things," Whis comforted Beerus, seeing his miserable face.
But his consolation didn't have much effect on Beerus. He had seen Goten's performance just now. How could someone who didn't care about the Grand Priest pay attention to Zeno? It was clear that Goten had no idea of the horrors of Zeno and the Grand Priest.
"Just pray that's the case. Otherwise, our entire Seventh Universe might be wiped out by Lord Zeno." Although Beerus was very distressed, there was nothing he could do. This matter was beyond his ability to intervene. If Goten was smart enough, he wouldn't say something stupid. But if he was foolish, then he and the entire Seventh Universe might pay a heavy price.
Meanwhile, under the guidance of the Grand Priest, Goten once again arrived at the familiar Zeno's Palace.
"Goten, this is Lord Zeno's palace! However, I must remind you that Lord Zeno's temperament is a bit like a child's, making it hard to understand. No matter what attitude you used with me, when meeting Lord Zeno, it's best to remain polite and respectful. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you may fall here," the Grand Priest kindly reminded. He had followed Zeno for hundreds of millions of years, yet he still couldn't figure out Zeno's character.
"Well, I see." Goten nodded. He was quite familiar with Zeno's unpredictable character. Honestly, with his current strength, he didn't fear the Grand Priest. Even if he wasn't the Grand Priest's opponent yet, killing him wouldn't be simple. But with Zeno, it was completely different. Zeno had mastered the supreme law power in the entire multiverse universe. One thought could erase everything he didn't like. Although Goten's strength was immense, he didn't think he could overcome Zeno. He didn't think his strength could resist Zeno's erasure. So, it was better to be low-key.
"Then let's go!" After the Grand Priest spoke, he led the way. Goten followed. A few minutes later, they arrived at the huge Zeno's Temple. In the entire temple, there were only Zeno and his two guards. It seemed a bit lonely.
"Lord Zeno, I have brought the person you were looking for!" the Grand Priest said respectfully.
"Great!! Grand Priest, you were so quick!" Zeno looked excited. Then, looking at Goten, he asked in a cute voice, "So... what's your name?"
"My name is Goten," Goten replied, neither humble nor overbearing. The previous incident had made him deeply resent Zeno and the Grand Priest. So when he saw them again, he wasn't overly polite. Although the Grand Priest and Zeno in this timeline weren't the same as those in his own timeline, their personalities shouldn't be much different. Goten didn't like them.
"Goten? Just now, the Grand Priest said he felt a very powerful force. Was it you who released it? In that case, your strength should be very strong!" Zeno said to Goten, his tone unchanged, with a lot of interest in his eyes. Such an interesting and powerful mortal hadn't been seen in a long time.
"Yes." Goten nodded again. Then he glanced at Zeno's two guards. Both of them stared fiercely at Goten with wide-open eyes, as if they wanted to devour him directly. In hundreds of millions of years, no God dared to answer questions in such a lazy tone in front of Zeno, let alone a mere mortal! If Zeno showed any displeasure, they would completely destroy Goten in an instant. But Goten was lucky; Zeno wasn't angry.
Seeing the expression of the two guards as if they were about to eat him, Goten showed disdain. Although Zeno's two guards were powerful, he wasn't afraid of them. If there was a fight, Goten was sure he could kill them both.
"Grand Priest, this Goten is so powerful. What do you think should be done?" Zeno asked, looking at the Grand Priest. With such strength, Goten didn't even have the identity of a God. This was indeed a bit inappropriate!
"Lord Zeno, Goten's strength has surpassed the Gods of Destruction in all universes. In my opinion, let's replace a certain God of Destruction and let him become the new God of Destruction of that Universe," the Grand Priest smiled and suggested. Given the power Goten had displayed, he was truly qualified to be a God of Destruction.
"Um... it seems very good! However, with such a powerful force, would it be fair for him to only become a single universe's God of Destruction? I think Goten is suited for a higher position," Zeno said after a moment of thought. The current Gods of Destruction were too weak compared to Goten. It seemed inappropriate for Goten to be one of them.
"Then what do you think it should be?" the Grand Priest asked.
"Grand Priest, hasn't the position of Grand God of Destruction always been vacant? I think with Goten's strength, he can fill that role perfectly," Zeno suggested. He felt this idea was familiar, as if he had mentioned it before, but he couldn't recall where.
"Lord Zeno's words are indeed very appropriate. Originally, this position was to be chosen from among the 12 Gods of Destruction, but none of them seemed to want to make progress. Therefore, the position has remained vacant. The power that Goten just erupted is strong enough to completely crush all the Gods of Destruction! So, it is indeed appropriate for him to inherit this position," the Grand Priest said thoughtfully.
The other 12 Gods of Destruction were unprogressive. Especially after becoming Gods of Destruction, they hardly trained. Such a mentality and strength were not suitable for the Grand God of Destruction. On the other hand, Goten was a bit confused. He thought to himself, 'What are these two trying to sell? Are they asking me to be a God of Destruction?'
However, he remembered hearing about the position of Grand God of Destruction from the previous Grand Priest in another timeline. When he fought against the Grand Priest, he heard this title mentioned and knew Zeno had intended to make him the Grand God of Destruction. But due to subsequent events, he lost interest. Now, unexpectedly, in this timeline, they had the same plans!
"So... Goten, are you interested in becoming the Grand God of Destruction? If you become the Grand God of Destruction, you will have very high authority!" Zeno asked.
The Grand Priest added, "The Grand God of Destruction has the right to command all Gods of Destruction and Angels. At the same time, after becoming the Grand God of Destruction, you will master a higher level of Destruction Law."
For ordinary people, this kind of temptation was quite significant. Even all the Gods of Destruction coveted this position, but they were unqualified. The current Goten had the strength to be qualified. In this world, strength was always respected.
"A higher level of Destruction Laws?" Goten asked, showing slight interest. If it was just a title, he had no interest. But if it could improve his mastery over the Destruction Laws, he could consider it. After all, the power of destruction was also a power of laws. If he could upgrade his power of destruction again, he might counter Zeno's power of Laws. Although this idea was absurd, he could try it. However, he had a bigger concern.
"Then who is the Supreme Kai who corresponds to the Grand God of Destruction?" Goten asked. This was what he cared about most. Every God of Destruction had a corresponding Supreme Kai, and their fates were linked. If one died, the other would disappear too. If he were bonded with another Supreme Kai, he would not accept the position. The temptation of higher destructive power was not that great.
"Hmm? Corresponding Supreme Kai? Gods of Destruction have corresponding Supreme Kais! But the Grand God of Destruction is not a God of Destruction. It is an identity similar to mine, so there is no corresponding Supreme Kai," the Grand Priest explained with a smile, after a moment of surprise.
