Shin’s divine gaze descended upon the Other World.
With a sweep of his divine consciousness, it landed on Son Goku, who was running along Snake Way.
At this moment, Goku was flying down Snake Way using the Flying Nimbus?
No—he was using the Flight technique.
Looking at the current Goku, Shin had only one thought.
So weak.
Shin had the distinct feeling that he wouldn’t even need to make a move.
With a single thought, he could cross the boundary between the World of the Supreme Kai and the Other World and crush Goku to death.
“It’s hard to imagine that this little guy, who’s currently as fragile as an ant, will only need a little over ten years before he can leave the mighty Supreme Kai in the dust.” Shin couldn’t help but sigh.
His gaze shifted to King Kai’s Planet at the end of Snake Way.
Although he had long known how small it was, seeing it in person still left him amazed.
“It’s tiny.” Shin repeatedly compared the size of Earth with King Kai’s Planet, and the contrast only became more striking.
What an unbelievably small planet.
“I remember this planet was damaged by the God of Destruction, Beerus, and it couldn’t be restored afterward.” A thoughtful look flashed across Shin’s face as he concentrated his divine power and directed it toward King Kai’s Planet.
… King Kai’s Planet King Kai was leisurely driving the sports car he had recently bought in circles around his tiny world.
Suddenly— An unimaginably vast divine power descended from the heavens.
King Kai’s entire body stiffened, and every hair on his body stood on end.
“H-How… how is this possible?
Th-This divine power…” Cold sweat streamed down his face as his body collapsed limply into the driver’s seat, too terrified to move.
Only after a long while did the overwhelming pressure finally disappear.
King Kai shakily crawled out of the car, his legs giving way beneath him as he collapsed onto the ground.
“J-Just now… that divine power… could it have been Lord Grand Kai?!” He frantically wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
The owner of that divine power possessed a status far beyond his own, and the purity of that divine aura was on a level King Kai could never hope to reach in his lifetime.
Whoever it was… They were unquestionably a deity far above a mere King Kai.
“N-No… that’s not right…” “I’ve met Lord Grand Kai before.
His divine power isn’t this terrifying.” “C-Could it be…” A frightening possibility surfaced in his mind.
“W-Why would… that great lord… pay attention to a lowly King Kai like me?” “Did… did I make some mistake in my work recently?” … World of the Supreme Kai Shin’s expression darkened.
He had already poured an enormous amount of divine power into activating his Creation ability in an attempt to restore King Kai’s Planet.
His Creation ability originated from the Law of Creation, the natural counterpart to the God of Destruction’s Law of Destruction.
In theory, his divine power was capable of creating entire planets out of thin air.
Yet… He couldn’t even repair King Kai’s tiny planet.
The moment his Creation power touched the planet, he sensed a mysterious force resisting him and preventing any restoration.
Its nature was completely opposite to his own divine power.
Shin immediately concluded that it was residual God of Destruction energy left behind by Beerus.
“This God of Destruction energy has probably remained there for an unimaginably long time.
It was likely nothing more than a casual act by Beerus, yet I still can’t remove it.” He gritted his teeth.
“The Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction are supposed to be gods of equal status.
Why is the gap between us so absurdly large?
This doesn’t make any sense.” Within the Dragon Ball world, the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction were both supreme deities of the universe.
One governed the Law of Creation.
The other governed the Law of Destruction.
Even if there was a difference in strength… The gap shouldn’t have been this overwhelming.
“In Beerus’s eyes…” “I’m probably no different from an ordinary mortal.” Shin laughed bitterly.
Just as he could casually crush the current Son Goku like an insect… Beerus could do exactly the same to him.
For the first time, Shin felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Even with a Golden Finger, perhaps he still couldn’t catch up.
“System…” He spoke weakly.
“Tell me… how much of my potential needs to be unlocked before I can match Beerus… or even surpass him?” [Ding!
System scanning…] As the words fell… The System’s power spread from the World of the Supreme Kai, instantly enveloping the entirety of Universe 7 before locking onto its target.
[Ding!
Target confirmed: Universe 7 God of Destruction Beerus.
Scanning…] [Ding!
Scan complete.
Analyzing data…] [Ding!
Analysis complete.] [According to the System’s analysis, if the Host wishes to reach the level of God of Destruction Beerus, your potential must be developed to at least 31%.] [At 35% potential development, the Host will be equal to God of Destruction Beerus.] [At 36% potential development, the Host will surpass God of Destruction Beerus.] After hearing the System’s report, Shin blinked several times.
He even dug a finger into his ear before asking uncertainly, “System… what did you just say?” “How much of my potential do I need to unlock to surpass Beerus?” [36%.] The System replied calmly.
“Thirty-six percent…” Shin’s eyes widened.
He lowered his head and began counting on his fingers.
A moment later… His mouth slowly fell open.
“Ten… ten years…” He looked up in disbelief.
“System… are you saying I’ll surpass Beerus in just ten years?” [Ding!
The exact time is 3,598 days, approximately ten years.] After receiving the System’s confirmation, Shin’s previously slumped posture instantly straightened.
The happiness came so suddenly that it caught him completely off guard.
His earlier anxiety disappeared without a trace, replaced by an overwhelming sense of relief.
“Who else is there?!” A famous quote flashed through his mind, and a huge grin spread across his face.
“So surpassing Beerus is really this easy?” Any fear he had of Beerus vanished completely.
In fact, just imagining the day they would eventually meet made him want to laugh.
“Right, System.” “What about Whis?” “How much of my potential do I need to unlock before I surpass him?” [Ding!
System scanning…] The System’s immense power manifested once more.
Within moments, it locked onto Whis, who was at the edge of Universe 7, and completed a thorough analysis of him.
A short while later— [Ding!
According to the System’s analysis, the Host must develop at least 50% of your potential to surpass Angel Whis.] [Note: At 50% potential development, the Host’s strength will be extremely close to Whis’s.
However, based solely on numerical values, the Host’s overall power will be slightly higher.] “H-How much?” Shin’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“Is Whis really that powerful?” “He’s that much stronger than Beerus?” Although Shin had always known that Whis greatly surpassed Beerus—and had even seen him effortlessly knock Beerus unconscious in the anime—he hadn’t expected the gap to be this enormous.
Judging from the System’s data, Shin estimated that Whis could defeat Beerus in a single strike, leaving Beerus with no chance to resist.
“Then…” “What about the Grand Priest?” “How much of my potential would I need to unlock before I could surpass him?” (End of Chapter 2)
