Chapter 333 Ceasefire, Meeting of The 18 Angels
Just as Vegeta was still pondering,
Goku got hit and came flying backward, directly crashing into Vegeta and knocking him to the ground.
Goku reverted to his base form, clutching his bleeding left arm, gritting his teeth as he looked up at the sky.
Cumber and Hearts were looking down at the two.
"Vegeta, Prince of Saiyans. Kakarot, the Saiyan of Earth."
"You are both my compatriots. Stop being so stubborn."
Hearts adjusted his glasses and also began to persuade.
"Goku, you don't want the fate of the universe to be in the hands of a child, do you?"
"Stop it now! You are merely pawns!"
"The reason this battle is taking place in the Divine Realm is to avoid harming all things in the universe, to avoid harming the people of the universe."
"We should be considered old acquaintances. You should understand me. Even if we win, we will only create a world without Zeno, a perfect world."
Goku clenched his fists tightly.
"No, Zen-chan wouldn't do that!"
Goku still believed in Zeno.
After all, Zeno liked him quite a bit. Their friendship was well known.
He believed Zeno wouldn't casually erase low-level universes.
Goku suddenly burst his Ki, transformed into his dark-haired Ultra Instinct, and charged at Hearts.
The battle began again.
However, Vegeta did not move.
Goku had to fight one against two, against Cumber and Hearts.
Vegeta wasn't a brainless fool. He was shaken.
If before, when he was still far below the Gods of Destruction, he wouldn't have needed to think about these things…
But now, he and Goku were no longer the mediocre fighters they once were.
In terms of strength, neither of them was inferior to any God of Destruction.
Besides the battles involving Vegeta and the others, the other Gods of Destruction were also engaged in a chaotic melee.
Unlike Beerus, Goku, and the others, the nine Gods of Destruction were facing a collective chaotic battle.
Belmod and the mouse God of Destruction were their opponents.
Altogether, there are over twenty people.
Their strength, amplified by the Fallen Angels, was far beyond what it used to be.
Moreover, they outnumbered the Gods of Destruction by a significant margin.
For a time, the fight was also a chaotic mess.
Colorful energy blasts ran rampant, shooting indiscriminately.
Arrows, magical power, Divine Power flew everywhere.
The ground below Zeno's Palace continuously kicked up dust, as if the end of the world had come.
But as the battle entered its white-hot stage, everyone became calmer.
What are they doing?
Are they rebels?
Yes!
But why rebel?
Why did Belmod and Quitela help them?
This battle wasn't about justice or universal peace.
It seemed more like a factional dispute.
Beerus remembered the scene when Champa was erased.
Despair, parting, fear…
Even as a God of Destruction, already the supreme existence in the universe, he could do nothing about it.
He was also shaken.
In fact, besides the Gods of Destruction from the four high-level universes, the other Gods of Destruction began to waver too.
Except for Beerus, they had all experienced the fear of being erased.
Moreover, Gods of Destruction have longer lifespans than Zeno.
In the past, before Zeno existed, they were called free and unrestrained.
But after Zeno appeared, everything changed.
Those six erased universes, those Gods of Destruction, were erased simply because they didn't accept Zeno's rule.
They had displeased Zeno slightly, and thus were erased.
The images of those erased Gods of Destruction floated in their minds.
Having become the supreme beings of the universe, they were yet so easily erased.
So much so that they began to hold back in the fight.
The Gods of Destruction, who had been winning, fell back into a disadvantage.
And the Fallen Angels' side did not pursue the slaughter.
Nor did they press hard.
They fought a delaying, attrition battle while trying to recruit them.
Perhaps the fight was for survival.
But now, they all understood.
Winning the fight might not necessarily ensure their survival.
Gods of Destruction are supposed to be the strongest beings in the universe.
They're all proud and unruly.
"Stop being blindly foolish!"
"Ever since Zeno took over 8.5 million years ago, the entire Divine Realm has been dominated by Zeno."
"Every one of you Gods of Destruction acts like a mouse seeing a cat whenever you meet Zeno."
"If he's the slightest bit displeased, he simply erases you."
Many Gods of Destruction remained silent.
Clearly a child, yet he can easily say: "Disobey and I'll erase you, you know!"
It brought them endless fear.
And that supreme Zeno still had the temperament of a child.
Although Zeno had no desire for power, that's precisely why he was so unstable.
Even someone like Frieza remains humble and values talent when dealing with his subordinates.
But Zeno is not like that.
Who works, who doesn't, it doesn't matter.
He erases people based on his mood.
As Gods of Destruction, they have no direction to strive for.
So much so that Champa spends his days gathering Dragon Balls for fun.
Beerus is either sleeping or searching for delicious food.
Belmod goes looking for women when he has nothing else to do.
Heles obsesses over her looks all day long.
…
This isn't about slacking off, but a compromise born of having no way to change the current situation.
It's like earning only 1,500 USD a month and knowing you could be fired at any moment.
You wouldn't be bitter and angry about it every day, would you?
It's just because there's nothing you can do about it.
Zeno's temperament is simply volatile, changing in an instant.
It's really exhausting.
As the Fallen Angels' camp continued to persuade, as everyone's hearts began to waver, the situation on the battlefield began to change.
Although neither side had actually lost, the remnants of the battle grew smaller and smaller.
Until the fighting finally stopped.
Goku was stunned: "Hey, why did everyone stop fighting?"
Vegeta angrily slapped Goku across the face.
The slap became the only sound in the area.
Goku clutched his head and screamed: "Vegeta, what are you doing? That hurts!"
"Kakarot, shut up!"
The battle between the Grand Priest and Chisato was still ongoing.
The battle between Zeno's attendants and the Left and Right Guardians was also ongoing.
However, they were not here.
But, the battle here had ended.
The space experienced intense fluctuations.
The six Fallen Angels slowly appeared.
The twelve Angels also appeared at the same time.
