The most courageous pirate hunter

"That's not quite right. The strength of each divine technique depends on who is using it."

Beerus shook his head, denying Hermes's words.

Whether it's Ultra Instinct or Destruction, they are just divine skills used by gods. In the hands of some people, these divine skills can be more destructive, while in the hands of some gods they may not be.

Ultimately, the core issue is the user.

"Destruction, as the name suggests, is the destruction of everything. It can destroy and annihilate all kinds of matter. As a candidate God of Destruction, you will become an orthodox God of Destruction in the future. Therefore, you must learn destruction, otherwise you will not be able to become a God of Destruction."

A ball of purplish-black energy appeared in Beerus's hand, filled with pure power—destruction and annihilation.

With a wave of his hand, Beerus sent a palm-sized purplish-black energy onto a distant planet. The next moment, the planet, which was larger than the sun, vanished into countless purple microparticles.

A complete dimensional reduction attack, the target is completely wiped out from one to zero.

It's not an illusion.

Hermes felt that even a single blow would destroy him; given his current strength, unless he used some kind of cheat code, he would be doomed.

"If you want to cultivate destruction, you must abandon all unnecessary thoughts and devote yourself to 'destruction' itself. It is simpler than the separation of consciousness and body in Ultra Instinct. It should not be a problem for you."

Beerus still acknowledges Hermes's talent.

"Lord Beerus, may I experience it?"

"How do you feel?"

"For example, if you want to launch a destructive attack, you should control the spread of the destruction. Let's start with one hand!"

Hermes waved his regrown left hand, which had been broken by a drunken Beerus. Whis was supposed to help him restore it, but he could do it himself.

This limb regeneration did not shock Beerus and Whis, after all, many races and powerful beings in the universe can achieve cell regeneration.

"Have you always cultivated like this?"

Beerus's expression was a bit off; he looked at Hermes as if he were a madman. How could anyone cultivate like this, first making themselves feel pain?

Could it be that he has masochistic tendencies?

"Occasionally, Lord Beerus, you may come!"

Hermes signaled to Beerus not to show mercy and to destroy him as much as he wanted.

"Fine!"

Silently.

Hermes' left hand began to disintegrate in destruction. This disintegration was all-encompassing. There was pain, but Hermes didn't even blink. His eyes were fixed on the arm that was dissipating into purple light particles.

If it weren't for Beerus's control, the destruction would have continued to spread along her left hand to her entire body, until Hermes was completely destroyed and erased.

So this thing must not be touched, even a tiny bit will ruin it completely.

afterwards.

Hermes discovered that he could not regenerate his cells, which meant that his left hand was not simply destroyed, but that the very existence of his left hand had been wiped out.

Humans have four limbs; this is a fundamental and self-evident fact.

However, at this point, Hermes only had three limbs; the concept of four limbs simply did not exist. This shows that the destruction was far more terrifying than imagined.

It directly and fundamentally destroys the existence and cognition of something.

"Find Weiss!"

Beerus shrugged. He's all destruction. Only Whis can restore the left hand.

"Lord Beerus, can you break the power of time?"

Hermes remained calm and instead inquired about Beerus.

"Yes, but I can't do it. Perhaps the Omni-King can."

Beerus shook his head; his destructive abilities were still developing and had not yet reached their peak.

"That's it!"

"Then there's no need to trouble Lord Weiss."

Under Beerus's puzzled gaze, time on Hermes began to rewind, quickly returning to the state before his left hand disappeared, which nearly made Beerus's eyes pop out of their sockets.

"Time travel? How do you know that?"

Beerus was very excited, grabbing Hermes's shoulders and shaking him incessantly. You should know that this is the power of the angel race; Whis can turn back time by three minutes.

"This is a superpower I learned on a planet called Yadrat."

"How is that possible? This is the power of time."

Beerus was truly shocked.

"Weiss, Weiss!"

In a flash, Beerus disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already outside Whis's room, frantically knocking on the door and shouting loudly.

Not a moment later.

Whis and Beerus came to Hermes' side again, and Whis was slightly taken aback as Hermes demonstrated his ability to reverse time once more.

"I never imagined there were such amazing races in the universe, so your time reversal is limited to a certain range?"

After hearing Hermes' explanation, Weiss chuckled.

"Yes."

"This ability has great potential. If you can cultivate to the point of reversing the time of the entire universe, you might even be able to become an angel by special privilege."

The power of time did not shock and excite Whis like Beerus.

It's important to know that he can rewind time at will; it could be the scope of a planet, a galaxy, or even an entire universe.

Of course~

Some powerful figures would not be affected, so Hermes' time reversal is really insignificant compared to this, and there is no comparison at all.

"So Hermes still has the potential to become an angel?"

Beerus was screwed.

At most, he's a God of Destruction, and above him are the Angels. In terms of status and power, the Angels are definitely more powerful than the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kai.

"of course."

"Hermes has mastered Ultra Instinct, but he lacks the ability to master it to the point of no change. If he could turn back time and master it to the point of being able to do whatever he wants, he has the potential to become an angel. However, this requires the advice of his High Priest father and the Omni-King."

"For hundreds of millions of years, angels have been the children of the High Priests, because other races are unable to cultivate to the angelic realm, including the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction."

Beerus's face was full of complex emotions.

Hermes gave him too many surprises.

The Omni-King existed since the beginning of the universe, and there are even rumors that all universes were created by the Omni-King, who is the pinnacle of all supreme laws.

The High Priest's status is second only to the Omni-King. When he appeared is unknown, but it is known that he is the Omni-King's steward.

If the first domain is called Omni-King.

The second realm is called the High Priest and the High Priest's children, also known as the Angel Realm.

But now Hermes has the potential to reach the second realm, second only to the first realm, which is simply outrageous, considering that the angels have always been in the second realm.

If Hermes truly cultivates to the second realm, then this realm will not only contain the angel race.

This will have a great motivating effect on all living things.

Just like the social classes in ancient times, the first tier at the top was the emperor, the second tier was the nobles, and Hermes was just a lowly commoner at the beginning.

But one day, this poor man suddenly realized he had the potential to become a nobleman.

Chapter 661 [The Highest Authority Above Destruction: Elimination]

"Who are Lord Whis, Lord Beerus, the Grand Priest, and the Omni-King?"

Hermes pretended to be stupid.

"You should call them High Priest and Omni-King."

Beerus looked nervous and slapped Hermes on the head. Then, with an extremely serious expression, he said, "The High Priest is Whis's father, and the Omni-King is the supreme ruler of all universes and the lord of all things."

"Is it strong?"

Hermes rubbed his head and continued his reckless questioning.

"nonsense!"

"The Grand Priest could crush me with a single finger. As for the Omni-King, he is the most noble and powerful god, whose status is unimaginably high. No one can surpass the Omni-King. If the Omni-King so desires, he can make all universes disappear in an instant."

Beerus rolled his eyes, his words full of respect.

"That's it!"

Hermes suddenly understood and indicated that he understood.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation!"
