Chapter 996 Advancement of Destructive Energy

The turmoil of the future has ended, and in the Realm of the Supreme Gods, Xin is writing down the events.

As a Supreme Kai, he always has to record these major events that involve traveling through time and space and report them to his superiors, even though they may not care.

In the record, he tried his best to beautify Lu Li's behavior. It wasn't that he wanted to fawn over Lu Li, but he felt that if Lu Li took office as the new God of Destruction, it would save Universe Seven a lot of trouble.

At least he felt that Lu Li was easier to talk to than the current God of Destruction Beerus, and more reasonable. He was also willing to help with work and deal with some dangerous cosmic criminals.

Therefore, Xin did not mention any of Lu Li's irregularities in the report, such as his overstepping his authority to resurrect a large number of the dead.

After Goku and Vegeta left, Lu Li used a power that shocked him to directly revive some people on Earth in the future.

Among them were Piccolo and Tenten, who were killed in the previous disaster. This restored the Dragon Balls on Earth, so that even if Trunks wanted to use the Dragon Balls to revive those killed by Zamasu, it wouldn't be difficult.

Trunks' mother, Bulma, was also resurrected by Lu Li. Lu Li even asked Bulma for the research data on the time machine. Xin didn't dare to write this in the report because the time machine was a contraband.

If the Omni-King knew about this, he would erase Universe 7 from which he resides, even if it was Bulma in the future who did it.

As a lesson from the past, the Omni-King has done this before. In the past, some universes developed time machines, committed serious crimes, and were erased by the Omni-King.

Therefore, even if Xin doesn't consider Lu Li and the Seventh Universe, he also has to consider his own life.

As a Supreme Kai, you have to know how to be flexible, otherwise how can you survive in such a chaotic Universe 7?

After roughly summarizing the ins and outs of this incident, Xin hesitated somewhat regarding the final handling of Zamas.

After some deliberation, he wrote Zamas's death record in the last column, thus bringing the matter to a close.

After finishing all this, Xin stretched and yawned, "Another peaceful day."

boom--

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening roar erupted in the Realm of the Supreme Kai. His bodyguard partner, Jabit, was sent flying through the air, his flesh mangled and limbs flying everywhere; he was clearly not going to make it.

Amidst the flames, Xin was horrified to see a man emerge, expressionless, about to kill him.

At the critical moment, Shin caught Jebit and teleported away from the Supreme Kai's realm.

…………

At this moment, Lu Li was unaware that another upheaval had occurred in the universe. He was having afternoon tea with Whis in Beerus's castle.

Beerus, who was asleep, smelled the delicious food and came running over in a flash, without even changing out of his pajamas.

"So, did the operation go smoothly?"

Weiss elegantly carried the cake plate, enjoying the food while inquiring about Lu Li's trip to the future.

As an angel, he couldn't take action himself, so even though Weiss heard about the turmoil that was about to happen in the future, he had no intention of going over.

After all, he couldn't do anything there, and if he saw anything bad, it would only add to his frustration.

Beerus, as the God of Destruction, could have handled the matter, but Lord Beerus was sleeping at the time.

"Generally speaking, things are going well. Zamasu is not powerful; it's just that his immortality makes him difficult to kill."

Lu Li summarized it simply.

“Lu Li, that’s because your destructive energy cultivation is not yet up to par.”

Beerus put down his fork and commented, "The Super Dragon is also a god. In terms of power, it cannot directly grant humans the power of gods. The law of immortality is something that humans cannot handle, but divine power may not be unable to do so."

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Lord Beerus."

Lu Li said curiously, "I learned how to activate destructive energy by exchanging energy beams with Beerus before, and I thought it was pretty simple."

However, Lu Li was not lacking in powerful attack methods, and his modified Kamehameha was also very violent, so he did not continue to study destructive energy.

Beerus sniffed lightly, "You still have a strange smell on you, Lu Li. You didn't kill Zamasu, did you?"

Lu Li hadn't expected Beerus to have such a keen sense of smell. Before he came, he had indeed just studied Zamasu in the warp and even forced Zamasu to split into several more.

Unlike his arrogance when he first discovered his ability to split, Zamasu is now very resistant to splitting. Even if Lu Li leaves him in the subspace and doesn't care, Zamasu will not spontaneously split into an army.

“Indeed, Zamasu later fused with the Potara earrings and could split infinitely, making him not easy to completely destroy. I just confined him to the warp.”

Lu Li explained, "Since I can suppress him, I'm just trying to figure out the principles behind his splitting."

Beerus didn't comment on Lu Li's methods, but simply continued the previous topic, saying, "Since that's the case, release one out, and I'll kill it for you. You're going to become a God of Destruction, so what kind of person are you if you can't even handle destruction?"

Although Beerus is lazy and gluttonous, this is also a manifestation of his carefree nature. After all, he has personally acknowledged Lu Li's identity, so he is a little annoyed that Lu Li has been learning Ultra Instinct from Whis but has not asked him for advice on the fighting style of a God of Destruction.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li didn't hesitate. He immediately opened the door to the subspace, reached inside, and the law of gravity grabbed a Zamasu.

Actually, he is not in a god-forbidden state right now, and his attributes are far inferior to Zamasu's. However, time flows faster in the warp, and he had already been training Zamasu for a year before he came to find Beerus.

Zamasu is now quite obedient and doesn't dare to resist Lu Li, even though Lu Li isn't using much power.

"This is the culprit behind the future of cholera."

Beerus looked at Zamasu, stood up, and said, "So it was you who killed my future self?"

Zamas remained silent, his eyes dull, and he didn't utter a single word.

Beerus was also puzzled about what Lu Li had done to Zamasu, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply raised his hand, and a ball of deep purple destructive energy condensed.

“Lu Li, watch closely. Your destructive energy has only reached the level of decomposition, but true destruction is to make things disappear.”

As Beerus spoke, his power erupted, and the deep purple destructive energy touched Zamasu. Immediately afterward, Zamasu vanished inch by inch, without even a speck of dust.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion of energy erupted, and it was only thanks to Whis's cry of alarm that the area was stabilized with his angelic scepter; otherwise, Beerus's castle would have been destroyed.

"Lord Beerus, how can you use advanced God of Destruction energy here? Not only will you destroy the castle, but what if the cake gets damaged?"

Weiss complained.

Beerus seemed to realize the inappropriateness of his behavior, but he wouldn't admit his mistake, simply craning his neck and saying, "Hmph, isn't it because you're here?" Then, he looked at Lu Li, "Lu Li, have you learned it?"

Looking at the spot where Zamasu had vanished, Lu Li was astonished to find that Zamasu had not resurrected.

Zamasu can now split and regenerate. If an injury is not fatal and some tissue falls out, a new Zamasu will be born.

But none of this happened under Beerus's attack; it simply vanished.

What surprised Lu Li even more was that the energy generated after Zamasu disappeared was quite astonishing. If that power were to be unleashed directly, not only would Beerus's castle be damaged, but even he himself would be harmed if he were nearby.

"Is this the advancement of the God of Destruction's power?"

Lu Li's interest was piqued. "Interesting. It seems I've been neglecting my training related to the God of Destruction."

"It's good to know. The power of the God of Destruction is destruction, complete destruction, to the point that objects disappear, and the disappearance of matter will unleash a huge amount of energy."

Beerus said, "If this energy is not guided and controlled, it will cause further destruction, just as you just saw, but if used well, it can also be used to precisely target enemies."

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. It seemed that his previous learning of Beerus's destructive energy had only reached the first stage, mainly because Beerus had not shown him any advanced uses.

It's estimated that during the sparring match, Beerus was afraid of accidentally destroying himself, so he held back, only decomposing the energy rather than completely eliminating the object.

Lu Li once heard Sosuke say that if you analyze the universe in depth, then energy and matter can be converted into each other, and in essence, only energy and information exist in the universe.

The process of creating something from nothing and turning something into nothing involves the generation and disappearance of enormous amounts of energy.

The truly powerful energy is actually hidden in the things around us. Beerus's destructive energy is actually a kind of lever. By using profound laws, he completely erases things, thereby unleashing an excessive amount of energy. The impactful power is so strong that it is beyond people's comprehension.

If Beerus destroys planets in this way, he only needs to destroy one planet, and the resulting explosion would be enough to destroy the entire universe.

Conversely, Lu Li also understood why Zamasu could split infinitely; essentially, many things did not violate the fundamental laws in Lu Li's understanding.

Zamasu's transformation from one to two naturally requires energy, and that energy is not without source; perhaps it is obtained by exchanging the disappearance of some substance for powerful energy.

If Lu Li can understand the principle behind Zamasu's split, it might be of new help to his cultivation level.

Before that, he needs to learn the advanced uses of destructive energy that Beerus has taught him.

"It's been a long time since we sparred. Let me see how much you've improved."

After finishing his afternoon tea, Beerus said contentedly.

"Lord Beerus, please be mindful of your words."

Weiss cleared the table, offering a friendly reminder.

Soon, Lu Li and Beerus began their battle. The two clashed within the force field set up by Whis, mainly exchanging techniques, without using dangerous abilities such as God of Destruction energy.

Beerus's attributes fluctuate during battle. Lu Li can see that Beerus's peak attribute can reach up to 269 points, which is similar to that of Zamasu after fusion.

But Beerus's combat skills and his mastery of the laws of power far surpass Zamasu's.

If Beerus weren't so lazy and often not serious in battle, he would have almost no weaknesses.

Lu Li activated Ultra Instinct during the battle, and in close combat, he dodged Beerus's attacks one after another, which surprised Beerus.

"Tsk, it's only been a short time, and you've already mastered it. Is Ultra Instinct really that easy to learn?"

Beerus marveled. Of course, he also knew Ultra Instinct, but he wasn't proficient at it. He had to be serious to maintain it in his normal state, and there might still be openings.

When he transforms, he can use Ultra Instinct relatively perfectly, but he is far inferior to Whisby, so Beerus has never been very interested in training Ultra Instinct.

He felt that the God of Destruction didn't need this kind of mind-emptying technique, so he developed another technique himself.

During the battle, Beerus's deep purple aura suddenly surged, and the entire cat seemed to be enveloped in the energy of a god of destruction. His eyes also looked terrifying and filled with divine majesty.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li felt immense pressure. The extremely aggressive aura and wild fighting posture were like Beerus's wildness as a cat being fully unleashed. He was a natural hunter, with extremely fast and cunning attack speed.

Before long, Lu Li was hit by Beerus while in Ultra Instinct state.

Beerus seemed to be deliberately trying to compete with Whis, so he controlled his power at the same level as Luli in his God Forbidden State. He wanted to show that, at the same level, his Ultra Instinct was by no means inferior to the Angel's Ultra Instinct.

boom--

Just as Lu Li and Beerus's fists clashed, Whis appeared in the arena, gracefully grabbing Lu Li and Beerus's wrists with both hands and rotating them like a Tai Chi master, thus separating Lu Li and Beerus.

"Alright, that's enough. If we keep fighting, my barrier won't hold."

Weiss clapped his hands to stop it.

"Lord Beerus, what kind of technique is this? It's so powerful!"

Lu Li exclaimed in admiration, even though he had long known that Beerus would use his Ultimate Skill.

Beerus was quite pleased with Lu Li's amazement. "Lu Li, now you understand, right? The angels' Ultra Instinct is actually not suitable for us at all. The God of Destruction's Ultra Instinct is much stronger!"

"Is that so, Lord Beerus? Aren't you saying that because you can't master Ultra Instinct?"

Weiss chuckled from the side.

"Tch, Weiss, one day I will become stronger than you."

Beerus was somewhat displeased, but Whis was his master, and he was indeed no match for Whis at the moment.

"Then Lord Beerus should sleep less and train more."

Weiss said with a smile.

"No way! Sleeping and eating delicious food are my true pleasures in life. There's no benefit in defeating you."

Beerus said that his strength did not come from ambition, but rather from his inaction.

Lu Li found it quite amusing to watch Beerus and Whis bicker. Beerus possessed a unique kind of power; he wasn't Goku's pure nature, nor Vegeta's strong will, but rather a genuine freedom of doing as he pleased.
