Seeing Katakana nod, a joyful expression appeared on Whis face.
This was also something the Grand Priest had instructed him about, so now that Katakana agreed, Whis could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In Whis eyes, Katakana was qualified to assume any divine position in the universe.
After all, Katakana's strength and potential were extraordinary.
He wasn't inferior to the Angels Ultra Instinct, and his destructive power was second only to that of the Gods of Destruction.
Either of these abilities alone would be enough to shock all twelve universes.
However, the Grand Priest had specifically told Whis not to disclose this information.
Therefore, as an Angel, Whis naturally wouldn't reveal it.
When Katakana left Universe 7, Whis had gone to Zeno's Temple to report to the Grand Priest.
After all, with such a prodigious talent appearing, it was his duty to inform the Grand Priest.
Upon hearing about Katakana, the Grand Priest was equally astonished.
To not only learn Angelic techniques but also master a Supreme Divine skill like Ultra Instinct, it spoke volumes about Katakana's talent.
Interested, the Grand Priest immediately told Whis that if Katakana returned, he must find a way to bring him over.
That way, the Grand Priest could observe him personally.
Now, Whis had completed the task. All that remained was to bring Katakana to the temple.
"Mr. Whis, when are we leaving?" Katakana glanced at him and asked.
Although he felt a bit nervous, Katakana trusted that the Grand Priest wouldn't harm him.
After all, if the Grand Priest really wanted to erase him, there would be no need to invite him in person. He could have easily appeared in Universe 7 and done it instantly.
"Hmm... Mr. Katakana, did you forget something?"
Whis looked at the food capsule hanging from Katakana's waist and smiled.
"Forget what?"
Katakana looked at him in confusion. But following Whis' gaze, he quickly realized what he meant, it was the food capsule.
He let out a helpless sigh.
"Oh, that? Alright, Whis, you can have it!"
Katakana gave it to him without complaint.
He knew Whis was a total foodie who never forgot about eating. It was easier to hand over the capsule than to deal with Whis fussing over it.
Besides, as the one who defeated Cell and protected Earth, Katakana figured that even if he went to Capsule Corp and asked Bulma for a hundred more capsules, she would happily Give Katakana, maybe even be thrilled to be his friend.
"Hoho! These are delicious. Truly wonderful."
"Mr. Katakana, since we don't know when we'll return after visiting the temple, why not have a good meal first?"
Whis' eyes lit up as he stared at the food laid out before him. Clearly, he wasn't going anywhere until he was full.
"Uh… sure, why not."
Katakana sighed again. Since Whis had already opened a sausage and started eating, there was no rushing him now.
Katakana simply stepped aside.
"System, Will leaving the God of Destruction realm affect my sign-in task?"
The system required Katakana to stay in the God of Destruction's realm for five years. He had a feeling the reward this time would be extraordinary, so he didn't want to jeopardize it.
[Ding! As long as the host spends most of your time training in the God of Destruction realm, brief absences will not affect the system's evaluation!]
Hearing this voice in his mind, Katakana felt relieved.
"So as long as I mostly stay in the God of Destruction realm, this trip won't impact the mission. Good."
He let out a long sigh of relief.
While the temple might offer valuable divine techniques, Katakana still believed the system's rewards would surpass anything the gods could teach him.
"I'm full, Mr. Katakana. We can go now!"
Whis returned to his side, smiling contentedly.
He tapped the ground lightly with his staff.
A swirling blue-black portal opened in front of them.
"This is the path to the temple?"
Katakana looked at it curiously.
Whis nodded slowly, clearly in a good mood after his meal.
"Alright then, let's go, Whis."
Katakana placed a hand on his shoulder.
Traveling through this passage would take time, and even though Katakana had honed his Angelic speed to a high degree, it was still not quite on par with a true Angel.
Besides, he was eager to experience what the divine realm had to offer.
They entered the portal, and under Whis' swift guidance, they arrived at a radiant palace after nearly two hours.
However, its appearance was a bit… odd.
From the outside, it bore the character for "Zeno" in a rather sloppy style.
Still, despite its strange look, the divine aura here was far beyond what Katakana had ever experienced, even stronger than in the God of Destruction realm.
The moment they landed, Katakana was visibly startled.
The divine energy here was so powerful that Training in this place would no doubt be much faster than in the God of Destruction realm.
"Hoho! Surprised, aren't you? But it's no wonder, there is no place in all the universes where the divine aura is more intense than Zeno's Temple!"
"In fact, it's quite normal. After all, all the most powerful gods gather here."
Whis explained with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm really shocked. I thought the divine energy in the God of Destruction realm was already intense, but this is on a whole other level."
Katakana said seriously.
The energy here was so rich that he thought if Goku and the others had trained here in the original story, they might have skipped Super Saiyan altogether and jumped straight to deeper transformations, maybe even stronger than Super Saiyan Blue!
"You're here, Whis."
At that moment, a figure appeared above them.
With light blue skin, white hair, purple pupils and lips, a halo-like divine ring behind his head, and a large sash around his waist, it could only be the Grand Priest.
"What an overwhelming divine presence… Is this the Grand Priest?"
"The aura of divinity he exudes is in a completely different league from the Angels and Gods of Destruction…"
As Katakana gazed up at him, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
