The most courageous pirate hunter

"The aura of the gods is easy to understand; it is the aura of the gods. Mortals cannot perceive the aura of the gods; they can only sense that the gods are very powerful. This is also the foundation for cultivating the power of the gods."

"The power of the gods is the energy used by the gods. It is higher than other energies in the universe, such as air and magic. To learn the power of the gods, one must first feel the aura of the gods. The best way is to stay by the side of the gods for many years."

Those with exceptional talent will quickly sense the aura of the gods, and thus gradually learn to wield divine power.

"The last one is the Divine Technique, which is a further manifestation of the potential after breaking through one's own limits. Even the gods find it difficult to reach the ultimate level. In your battle with Beerus, your final dodging ability can be considered a prototype of the Divine Technique: Ultra Instinct."

As Whis spoke, he scribbled and drew in the air with his magic staff, showcasing various possibilities based on Beerus.

Hermes listened intently, like a schoolchild.

seemingly.

Maybe.

may.

The so-called divine aura, divine power, and divine control techniques were not difficult for him; they simply took a little time. This was not Hermes' arrogance, but rather a genuine confidence in himself.

no way.

He exposed too many bugs.

"Therefore, sensing the aura of the gods is the most important thing."

"Yes."

"Lord Navis, besides Ultra Instinct, what other divine techniques are there?"

Hermes was very interested in this. The divine power was far superior to the superpowers of Planet Biadrat. To use it, one needed to have mastered the power of the gods.

But every skill starts from zero.

If you master a certain ability of Planet Adelaide, it may not necessarily be inferior to the Divine Control Technique. In the end, they will all lead to the same goal. However, in the early and mid-game, the Divine Control Technique is undoubtedly more noble.

"There are many."

"For example, Beerus's destruction."

"Divine control techniques are not limited to just one or two types; there can be many. As long as a certain ability is cultivated to the extreme of the divine realm and is used by a god, it can be called a divine control technique."

"You can think of it as a skill used by God."

Vess's answer was somewhat unexpected by Hermes.

If that's the case, once he becomes a god, and he perfects the abilities of Planet Adelaide to their fullest potential, then using divine power to activate them, it will become a divine control technique unique to him.

Just as he thought.

Any ability, when taken to its extreme, becomes unique in a particular field.

"I understand!"

"Then let's begin by sensing the aura of the gods!"

"Try to attack me with all your might while simultaneously comprehending the aura of the gods."

Weiss's teachings were simple.

The goal was to allow Hermes to sense the divine aura during battle. For someone less gifted, it might take a long time, but for someone with high talent, it would be different.

"Yes!"

Hermes was straightforward and transformed directly into Super Saiyan 4. However, this time he did not activate the Eight Gates or other power-enhancing techniques; he simply returned to his normal state as Super Saiyan 4 with life force restored.

"Using your ability to dodge, which is the ultimate skill, might speed up your comprehension."

"understood."

The battle begins.

Hermes launched the first attack on Weiss, but Weiss easily dodged each attack. The strange feeling was exactly like the perfect Ultra Instinct.

When one truly uses Ultra Instinct, their hair turns silver. However, as an angel, Whis has mastered the ability to maintain this state without any change in appearance, which can be considered the normal state of Ultra Instinct.

In some respects, Weiss is not afraid of any sneak attack.

Even while sleeping~

Ten minutes later.

Hermes' attack continued, but he couldn't even scratch Weiss's skin.

However, Hermes did not attack blindly. He separated his consciousness from his body, with his body attacking automatically while his consciousness focused on sensing the energy overflowing from Weiss.

This energy is amazing.

It is more active and spiritual than Qi, and its destructive and defensive capabilities are a level higher, similar to the difference between spiritual Qi and immortal Qi, belonging to a more advanced energy state.

To put it simply, it's a qualitative change.

that's it.

Hermes's journey was not merely one of weary attacks, nor merely one of weary reflections.

one day.

Ten days.

For thirty days, Hermes continued his one-sided attack on Viss, and although he failed to succeed even once, Viss, who had been looking normal, became somewhat surprised and incredulous.

Doesn't this guy ever get tired?

Although the opponent wasn't using the true Ultra Instinct, it's important to know that Ultra Instinct places extremely high demands on the body. If the user reaches their limit, their body will convulse, break down, or even fall into a coma.

It also consumes a great deal of physical strength and energy.

Thirty days have passed, don't they get any sleep?

Chapter 658 [Super Saiyan Blue]

"Let me see your limits."

Weiss did not stop it.

He was also eager to see where Hermes' limits lay.

that's it.

One month, two months, three months.

When Beerus woke up that day, he yawned, got out of his cat bed in his pajamas, flew outside the palace, and watched the two fighting. He thought it had only just begun.

"Weiss, I'm hungry."

"Lord Beerus, you should try to figure something out yourself first."

Weiss dodged left and right, letting Hermes attack him. He had been so interested in a mortal for who knows how many years; as an angel, he was not required to sleep.

But other creatures sleep because it is their instinct, and they must sleep as well.

But three months have passed, and Hermes is still attacking, like a perpetual motion machine that never tires out, and crucially, he is still in Super Saiyan 4 form.

If he wasn't mistaken, maintaining this transformation was very taxing.

At first, Hermes's strength began to wane as the battle progressed, but he was instantly revived and continued his attack. Gradually, his energy expenditure and recovery became evenly balanced.

This resilience surprised Weiss.

no doubt.

In just three months, Hermes has trained Super Saiyan 4 to its full potential. With the return of life to normal, his consumption and recovery are now proportional.

Instead of digesting the Senzu Beans directly in the body as in the beginning.

Hermes did not use Porunga's power for fear of being discovered, so he simply opened the Book of Genesis inside his body and shot out a Senzu Bean, which was then digested directly in his stomach.

That's why Weiss felt that Hermes had been fully revived several times in an instant.

"what?"

"You expect me to figure it out myself?"

Beerus's ears perked up, and anger appeared on his face.

unacceptable.

"Lord Beerus, you've been asleep for three months, while we've been fighting for three months straight, without sleep or rest!"

While dodging with ease, Whis turned his head and looked at Beerus very seriously.

"what?"

Beerus's anger vanished, replaced by a look of disbelief as he stared at Hermes, who was still attacking. Hermes's state was peculiar; he seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment, and his aura had subtly changed.

Although very faint.

But one thing is certain: it is the aura of a god.

watt?

Three consecutive months without sleep or rest?

Divinity began to emerge from his body, and a divine aura emanated from him?
