Chapter 981 Omni-King, Super Shenron

The people present were kneeling in neat rows, making those who weren't kneeling seem quite out of place.

Lu Li and Wukong were the two who seemed out of place, while Vegeta cooperated somewhat under Beerus's guidance, and the others could also understand the seriousness of the matter.

The three explorers who were with Champa were especially apprehensive at this moment, as they knew best what kind of being the Omni-King was.

In some ways, the Omni-King is even more terrifying than villains like Frieza, because he acts without any rules, like an innocent child who might erase you when he's happy, or he might erase you when he's unhappy.

Lu Li looked at the eraser standing on the stands. All he could see in his reconnaissance field of vision was a row of question marks. Without a doubt, the other party was perhaps the only ninth-tier powerhouse in the Dragon Ball universe.

Lu Li looked at the King of All Things, as if he felt nothing, or as if he were staring into an abyss.

Judging by appearance alone, Zeno looks like a harmless kid with an eraser-colored head. However, after reading about the Dragon Ball world, Lu Li knew how terrifying Zeno was.

In the original story, Goku, with his childlike heart, befriended Zeno. In the battle against Zamasu, he ultimately had no choice but to summon Zeno.

The Omni-King witnessed Zamasu's actions and expressed his disappointment with Zamasu and this universe. Logically speaking, Lu Li felt that Zamasu should have been eliminated.

However, due to his limited perspective and momentary mood, the Omni-King directly erased the entire universe. No, not only the seventh universe where Trunks was located, but the Omni-King also erased the remaining twelve universes, including the Demon Realm and other regions, returning everything to nothingness.

The Omni-King's attack annihilated all the multiverses, directly destroying that parallel world.

Wukong and his friends escaped to the present era by using a time machine, thus avoiding disaster.

To be honest, Lu Li couldn't quite grasp the emotions and thoughts of the people in the original work. For example, he didn't understand why things turned out the way they did, yet everyone could still laugh it off in the end.

Trunks originally asked Goku and the others for help, but the result was that everything in that world disappeared. Although it was an unfortunate outcome, something still felt off.

Trunks certainly had no right to blame Goku and the others, after all, they had all fought hard, but Zeno simply erased their entire universe, and he didn't even have a thought about it...

Moreover, compared to Trunks, Lu Li felt that in the future world, apart from Universe 7, the other universes were even more pitiful. Zamasu liked to stay on Earth and do evil, which was a kind of perverted obsession. It is conceivable that most planets in other universes have not yet encountered Zamasu.

Those people were probably still living their lives peacefully when they were wiped out by the Omni-King without knowing anything about it.

Lu Li saw someone in the comments section saying that Zamasu had already killed all the Supreme Kais, the Gods of Destruction were dead, and the angels were asleep. In the end, all the humans in the universe would be wiped out by Zamasu anyway. Zeno's actions were just to save those people from suffering.

Many people support this idea, but Lu Li doesn't see it that way because he thinks it's too limited and subjective, focusing only on Goku and Vegeta.

But who dares to say that Goku was the strongest person in the multiverse at that time, besides the God of Destruction?
Putting everything else aside, Jiren from Universe 11 is definitely much stronger than Goku at that time. With Jiren's strength, which is comparable to or even surpasses that of a typical God of Destruction, he might not be unable to destroy Zamasu, or at least find a way to control the disaster.

Not to mention the top four universes that didn't even appear in the Tournament of Power; those universes might also have humans stronger than the Gods of Destruction.

However, because the Omni-King intervened, these people had no chance to show their abilities. Unable to personally defend their homes, they were all wiped out by the Omni-King's wrath.

Lu Li knew that the Omni-King was the ultimate divinity Whis spoke of, the so-called supreme god, whose actions did not require mortals to understand, and whose existence could no longer be judged by good or evil.

The highest divinity, on the surface, is like a child, which corresponds to Goku's extraordinary mentality. This is why Goku and Zeno can get along well.

However, Lu Li didn't particularly like this kind of behavior that was low in humanity but high in divinity.

Therefore, Beerus, drenched in sweat, looked at Lu Li and kept whispering, "Lu Li, kneel down quickly!"

The King seemed to notice Lu Li's gaze and looked at him, saying, "You look rather wicked, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

It is clear that the Omni-King does not care whether people and gods kneel before him or whether they respect him. His focus is completely different from what Beerus and the others imagined.

"Lord Omni-King, this is the new candidate for God of Destruction. He may look a bit fierce, but he is a very nice person. He is just a country bumpkin who is not good at manners. Please forgive him."

Beerus, sweat beading on his forehead, explained to Lu Li.

"Is that so? Then let's not erase it for now."

The King's voice was calm, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

Beerus had barely breathed a sigh of relief when Goku jumped out, "You're the Omni-King? Are you the strongest? Can you fight me?"

Goku's words nearly gave Beerus a heart attack. "Son Goku!?"

"What does it matter? Just play with me and see."

Wukong, however, was completely unaware and said with a smile.

His behavior seemed quite offensive, but it brought a smile to the Grand Priest's face, and the Omni-King was not angry. He just found Goku interesting, as if they could understand each other.

"You're very interesting. Can we be friends?"

The King spoke without hesitation, just like a child casually chatting with other children next to a sandpit on a slide.

"friend?"

Wukong was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Sure."

"Can I call you Wukong?"

Zeno's voice is sweet, just like a child's.

"sure."

Wukong's laughter seemed innocent, but to onlookers, the conversation appeared eerie.

"Then you can call me by my nickname too. Friends should have affectionate nicknames for each other."

The Omni-King spoke again.

With a smile on his face, Goku said without hesitation, "Then let's call you Xiao Quan. By the way, Xiao Quan, are you really that strong? Even Lord Beerus is so respectful of you."

"It should be very strong."

Zeno nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. After ending his conversation with Goku, he looked at Beerus and Champa, "You two were behind my back, and I was originally here to punish you, but I found it quite interesting, so I'll let it go this time."

Beerus and Champa broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, never expecting that their playful squabble would nearly lead to their demise.

Fortunately, the Omni-King seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and they were lucky to survive.

The Omni-King turned around, preparing to leave, and said to Goku, "Come visit me sometime!"

Lu Li watched this scene from the side, not knowing where to begin to comment. Goku's charm was not low, but that was not the reason why the Omni-King was fond of Goku. It was more like that the two people had similarities and found a kindred spirit.

He just faced a life-or-death situation, which has nothing to do with whether he kneels or not. That's just the kind of person the King is; if he doesn't like something, he might just destroy it without any particular reason.

If Beerus hadn't spoken up for him and indicated that he was a candidate for God of Destruction within the 'system,' he might have truly been erased by Zeno.

I'm a little annoyed, but there's nothing I can do about it.

If we follow Whis's words, then the Omni-King is the creator of all universes. As the creator, he certainly has the right to do whatever he wants with his creations.

When he's happy, he lets the angels manage the universe and allow cosmic civilizations to develop. If he finds the universe boring and worthless, he erases it.

That was a difference akin to a dimensional attack; even powerful beings like the Grand Priest couldn't reach the level of the Omni-King. For a moment, this made Lu Li realize that the difference between the eighth and ninth ranks was like an insurmountable chasm.

"call--"

After the Omni-King left, Beerus breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and began to berate Lu Li and Goku, "Do you two know how dangerous that was just now? We almost all disappeared!"

Wukong looked confused and scratched his head. "Really? I think Xiao Quan is very kind, not scary at all."

"Little...Little Quan!? You're not allowed to call Lord Quan that anymore!"

Beerus was so frightened that his hair stood on end, or rather, his heart stopped when he heard Goku address the Omni-King in that way.

Because Wukong drew the attention of others, Lu Li wasn't scolded. Or rather, he hadn't done anything outrageous; he just hadn't knelt down to pay his respects.

After arguing for a while, Champa and his men left the arena and returned to Universe 6, while Lu Li lightly touched the ground with his toes, removing the dust from the planet, and the Super Dragon Balls appeared.

"So this planet is the last Dragon Ball. No wonder the radar showed an overlap."

Vegeta, holding the Dragon Radar Bulma had given him, looked at Lu Li again and asked, "What wish do you want to make?"

"Hmm... this is a bit difficult to explain. We need to see if the dragon can grant my wish first."

Lu Li did not answer directly. He had previously assured Beerus that he would not make any wishes that would harm the balance of the universe, so he did not say it directly.

It's because the wish he wanted to make was one that even the super dragon might not be able to fulfill.

Summoning the Super Shenron was also an experiment. Aizen hoped that Lu Li could confirm the Super Shenron's upper limit and whether it could be considered a hidden reward mechanism of the space in this world.

Because no matter how powerful the Dragon Ball universe is, it is still a derivative world. According to Aizen's previous analysis, all derivative worlds are for explorers to train, and are probably jointly supervised by the nine dimensions.

As for breaking through and storing it, that's just a bonus, meant to incentivize explorers to compete with each other, making the nine spaces less peaceful and strengthening the vortex.

Therefore, given that the derivative world is actually governed by the nine major spaces, it's possible that the dragon, being a being capable of granting wishes, might be able to fulfill certain wishes related to spatial matters.

"Mr. Lu Li can be quite mysterious sometimes."

Whis smiled and said, perhaps because he hadn't yet recovered from the tension of meeting the Omni-King, he unusually used honorifics when speaking to Lu Li, whom he was already quite familiar with.

He used his divine power to arrange the seven Dragon Balls and shouted in the language of God, "Come forth, Shenron!"

Immediately afterwards, the stars in the universe dimmed, the Milky Way changed color, and powerful energy fluctuations surged endlessly in space.

This immense power greatly surprised Wukong and the others, because they never expected that the dragon, who could be bullied so easily, would actually possess such a powerful existence.

In the brilliant golden light, a divine dragon appeared, its size equivalent to hundreds of galaxies. Its entire body shimmered with golden light, and it had a pair of huge membranous wings. It bore some resemblance to the main body of the traditional dragon on Earth, but its overall appearance was more like the Yinglong from Chinese mythology.

From a cultural design perspective, the Super Dragon is naturally superior to Earth's dragons because it represents the ultimate form of the dragon race.

In terms of power, Lu Li couldn't even see the overall attributes of the Super Divine Dragon. It not only had the magical ability to grant people's wishes, but also had its own strength, unlike ordinary dragons that were easy to bully.

"Angel, tell me your wish."

The super dragon spoke in the language of the gods, its voice shaking the universe with unparalleled majesty.

Looking at the Super Shenron, Wukong and the others were utterly awestruck. Many of them realized for the first time that Shenron was such a majestic and awe-inspiring being.

Whis previously stated that the Namekian Wishing Ball was made from scraps and fragments of the Super Dragon Balls, while the Dragon Balls from Earth were even less valuable.

You can tell from the size of the Dragon Balls. The Dragon Balls on Earth are the size of a fist, while the Dragon Balls on Namek are bigger than a basketball. And the Super Dragon Balls are as big as planets.

This shows the power level difference between the 'bootleg Dragon Balls' and the Super Dragon Balls; the wishes that the Super Dragon Balls can grant are truly almost limitless.

Weiss turned to look at Lu Li, "Lu Li, can you tell me your wish now?"

The desire cannot be hidden, not only because this Super Dragon Ball was obtained through a public competition, but also because Lu Li does not know the divine language here.

When he entered the Dragon Ball world this time, he only learned Earth's common language for free with the help of the space. Oh, by the way, almost all humans in the universe speak Earth language.

Therefore, Lu Li could only ask Weiss to make a wish for him. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "Please tell the dragon that my wish is for all the spiritual seeds in my body to be raised to the highest level within the dragon's power."

Weiss didn't quite understand what benefit Lu Li's wish would bring him, only assuming that Lu Li possessed some strange energy system that needed the dragon's help to enhance.

He didn't ask any more questions, but instead relayed the message to the dragon in divine language.

Upon hearing Weiss's wish, Shenlong remained silent for a long time, staring intently at Lu Li. Finally, just as Lu Li was about to change his wish because he thought it was impossible, Shenlong nodded and said, "I understand your wish. I will help this human named Lu Li fulfill his wish."
