Whis's finger just now had seemed ordinary, yet the power and realm contained within it far surpassed Beerus's previous destructive attacks.
It was a return to simplicity—a manifestation of power refined to its absolute limit.
Although Ultra Instinct allowed Loren's body to react instinctively, it was still far from enough in the face of such an overwhelming gap in realms.
"Oh my, Mr. Loren, are you alright?" Whis asked calmly.
"What… what just happened?" Goku's eyes were wide with disbelief. "I only saw a blur, and then Loren was sent flying!"
"So fast… no, it can't even be described as just fast anymore…"
"Master…" Gohan clenched his fists nervously.
"I'm fine." Loren took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging qi and blood in his body.
He then grinned, his fighting spirit burning even hotter than before.
"Mr. Whis, you really are a monster. But that's exactly what makes this interesting!"
"Oh ho ho ho, you truly enjoy challenges," Whis chuckled, the look of approval in his eyes growing stronger.
If an ordinary person had witnessed such an insurmountable gap, they would have long since fallen into despair.
But Loren—
Far from being discouraged, he became even more excited.
This mindset was the very foundation of becoming a true powerhouse.
"Then I'll continue!" Loren roared softly, no longer holding anything back.
The aura of Ultra Instinct was pushed to its limit. The silvery-white radiance seemed to solidify, forming a thin, flowing energy mantle around his body.
Swish!
Loren's figure vanished once more.
This time, he abandoned frontal assaults entirely.
Relying on the nature of Ultra Instinct, his body flickered across the entire God of Destruction Realm, launching a relentless barrage of attacks at Whis from every direction.
Bang! Bang! Clang! Ding!
Crisp yet muffled impacts echoed endlessly through the vast, empty realm.
Whis raised his hands—sometimes using a finger, sometimes a palm—casually deflecting every single attack.
"Amazing… is this what a battle between gods looks like?" Goku stared in awe, his blood boiling.
"Whether it's Loren or Mr. Whis, I can barely see them anymore!"
Vegeta felt a shock run through his very soul.
He had only just mastered Super Saiyan Blue.
Yet now he realized—
The gap was still unimaginably vast.
At the center of the battlefield, the fight had reached a fever pitch.
Loren's attacks grew faster and fiercer.
His mind was completely empty, leaving everything to pure instinct.
He became a streak of silver lightning, assaulting Whis without pause.
Meanwhile, Whis remained perfectly composed.
While effortlessly defending, he even had the leisure to comment.
"Your understanding of Ultra Instinct has deepened significantly. Your body's reactions are far superior to when you fought Lord Beerus."
Not enough! Loren roared inwardly.
He could clearly feel his body adapting, evolving rapidly under this pressure.
But even so—
He still couldn't break through Whis's defense.
"In that case…"
Loren suddenly flipped backward, creating over a hundred meters of distance.
"Dragon Fist!"
He drew in a deep breath, pouring the full power of Ultra Instinct into his right fist without reservation.
Roar!!!
A heaven-shaking dragon's roar echoed across the God of Destruction Realm!
A colossal golden dragon, formed from pure silvery-white divine power, burst forth from Loren's fist, baring its fangs as it lunged straight at Whis!
This was Loren's strongest single-target technique—and after being fused with Ultra Instinct, its power had multiplied several times over!
Wherever the dragon passed, space itself wailed in protest, on the verge of tearing apart.
"Oh my… that technique is quite impressive."
For the first time, a trace of seriousness appeared on Whis's face.
He calmly channeled divine power into his palm.
Then—
An astonishing scene unfolded.
The incomparably powerful silver-gold divine dragon, the instant it touched Whis's palm, began to disintegrate inch by inch, scattering into countless motes of light before vanishing completely.
"..."
Even so, Whis himself was forced to retreat dozens of steps.
Silence fell over the entire realm.
"W-What… was that just now?" Goku stammered.
"Dragon Fist… blocked with one palm?" Vegeta felt his worldview shatter yet again.
Loren's pupils contracted sharply.
His strongest attack—
Neutralized just like that?
"Mr. Loren, your power is indeed remarkable," Whis said calmly as he withdrew his hand.
The moment he finished speaking—
Whis's figure vanished.
Not good!
Every alarm in Loren's body screamed.
Ultra Instinct warned him of extreme danger from all directions!
Without hesitation, Loren mobilized all his divine power, forming a thick silver protective barrier around himself.
Almost the instant it formed—
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
A storm of attacks, far too fast for the naked eye to perceive, slammed into the barrier.
Each blow made it tremble violently, ripples spreading outward.
All Loren could see were countless afterimages.
He couldn't even capture Whis's silhouette.
"Too fast… I can't react at all!"
Crack—
After enduring over a thousand strikes, a sharp sound rang out.
A fracture appeared in the barrier.
The crack spread like a spiderweb.
Boom!
The shield shattered completely.
Whis appeared directly in front of Loren, his Divine Staff already in hand, its tip gently pressed against Loren's forehead.
A soft yet irresistible force surged forth.
In an instant, all of Loren's power was sealed.
He couldn't move.
The outcome was decided.
The battle was over.
The God of Destruction Realm fell into absolute silence.
Loren stood frozen, his forehead pressed against Whis's staff.
The silvery-white glow of Ultra Instinct slowly faded, returning him to black hair and black eyes.
He panted heavily, his entire body aching.
He had lost.
From start to finish, he hadn't forced Whis to go all out.
So this was it—
The peak of the eighth dimension.
The true power of an Angel.
What a bottomless chasm.
"Whew…" Loren let out a long breath. There was no disappointment on his face—only relief.
"I lost, Mr. Whis," he said openly. "Thank you for the guidance. It truly broadened my horizons."
"Oh ho ho ho, that was a splendid spar." Whis withdrew his Divine Staff, clearly satisfied.
He looked at Loren and spoke sincerely, "Mr. Loren, to be honest, your performance far exceeded my expectations."
"Oh?" Loren raised an eyebrow.
"During the battle, your body was constantly evolving, adapting to my rhythm," Whis continued, slowly circling him.
"But more important than that is your mindset. Facing an opponent you couldn't possibly defeat, you showed no fear or despair—only greater resolve and enjoyment.
"In that regard," Whis added with a smile, "even Lord Beerus cannot compare to you. Compared to Lord Beerus, your potential is even more unfathomable.
Perhaps in the near future, you truly will surpass him completely—reaching… or even approaching my realm."
Those words struck Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan like thunder.
Surpass a God of Destruction?
Approach the realm of an Angel?
They didn't even dare to imagine such a thing.
"Mr. Whis, you flatter me." Loren smiled modestly, though joy was blooming wildly in his heart.
Earning the recognition of an Angel—
This trip to the God of Destruction Realm had been more than worth it.
Just then, the familiar system voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Special Mission: Spar with Angel Whis — Completed!]
[Mission Evaluation: Perfect! The host demonstrated overwhelming strength and unfathomable potential, earning high recognition from Angel Whis!]
[Mission Reward: Destruction Energy — Issued!]
The moment the voice faded—
A surge of purple energy, filled with chaos, annihilation, and the aura of absolute destruction, manifested within Loren's body!
