Katakana didn't know why, but when he heard those words from Whis, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!
"Just erase this planet?!"
Katakana looked at the small planet in the other party's hand, then shifted his gaze to the Grand Priest.
Staying in the temple for a few days was fine. After all, the divine energy here was strong, and the speed of cultivation was much faster than usual.
But staying for too long? That wouldn't do.
Because in order to accelerate his growth, giving up the system's rewards was something katakana would never consider.
It would be an extremely foolish choice.
Even if he stayed and trained here for a few extra days, how much could his physical strength and combat ability actually improve?
Probably not that much.
But the rewards given by the system were a completely different story.
From the previous rewards, Destruction Energy, Ultra Instinct, and now, one thing was clear: The longer he stayed here and signed in, the more generous the system rewards would become.
So, Katakana would never give up those rewards.
Besides, if this were just a matter of normal cultivation, catching up to Angels and the Grand Priest would be nothing more than a distant dream.
But with the system's help? Surpassing the Angels and Grand Priest was just a matter of time.
"That's right," the Grand Priest nodded.
"Since Katakana, you wish to become a Temple Law Enforcement Officer… then mastering the Erasure Divine Power is essential."
"What I just transferred to you isn't particularly difficult, so if you can't manage it... it's best you stay here and train. Let me guide you personally."
The Grand Priest smiled as he said this.
Erasure Divine Power!
It wasn't easy to master this ability.
Because this was Zeno's unique power, the difficulty level of cultivating it was off the charts.
Even Angels hadn't mastered it on their own, they had to have it forcibly implanted into them.
That's why Whis couldn't teach this power to katakana himself.
"So this is Erasure Divine Power… it's tough, but if I train seriously, I should be able to get it down quickly!"
Katakana looked at his hands and spoke softly to himself.
But of course, it was all an act, for the Grand Priest to see.
Katakana needed to pretend to struggle a little. If the Grand Priest found out he had instantly mastered the Erasure Power, who knew how he'd react?
Clearly, the Grand Priest assumed it would take Katakana a long time to learn the power, which is why he gave Katakana the task first.
Little did he know, he had hand-delivered a rare power right into Katakana's hands.
Thus, Katakana began his "training" in the temple.
But in truth, he wasn't really working on mastering Erasure Divine Power.
He was using the dense divine aura around him to refine and strengthen his physical body.
---
Two days later.
"Crack! Crack!"
Katakana stood up, and his body made popping sounds as he stretched.
He had remained in the same spot for two days, allowing the divine energy around him to temper and reinforce his physical form.
Now, he could clearly feel his body had advanced to an entirely new level.
"Mr. Katakana's physical body seems stronger… but that doesn't help with erasing magic?"
Whis noticed the changes and frowned slightly.
He didn't understand Katakana's approach. Time was short, yet Katakana wasn't focusing on mastering Erasure Power.
Did he give up because it was too difficult?
Whis knew it was hard, but based on what he knew of Katakana, giving up shouldn't be an option.
"Done!"
At that moment, Katakana's calm voice entered both Whis and the Grand Priest's ears.
Then Katakana slowly walked forward and took the small planet from Whis' hand.
"M-Mr. Katakana … you said you're done? You mean… you've completed your training in Erasure Power?"
Whis swallowed nervously.
What was going on?
Katakana hadn't seriously practiced that power at all, and now he was planning to erase the planet?
"Watch closely, Whis."
With that, Katakana casually tossed the small planet into the air.
"D!"
The moment the planet floated mid-air, Katakana snapped his fingers.
What happened next stunned everyone.
The small planet hanging in the air vanished instantly, completely erased from existence.
"That… that was really Erasure Divine Power!"
Whis was stunned, but soon, excitement surged within him.
He was right, Katakana had truly learned the Erasure Power.
"Mr. Katakana … you really… you really mastered Erasure Power!"
Whis nearly leapt to hug in joy.
But Katakana turned sideways to avoid it.
"Rejecting physical contact begins with me!"
"He… actually did it!"
Even the Grand Priest was momentarily stunned.
He never expected Katakana to truly succeed in erasing the planet in just two days.
This level of talent was simply monstrous.
But it also solidified what the Grand Priest had been thinking.
"It seems I was right. Appointing him as a Temple Law Enforcement Officer was the right decision!"
A faint smile curved on the Grand Priest's lips.
"Clap!"
He clapped his hands and walked over to Katakana.
"Mr. Katakana, your talent has impressed me. Though surprised, I'm also very pleased."
"Our Divine Realm now has another powerful enforcer!"
The Grand Priest extended his hand toward Katakana.
"Hm!?"
Katakana paused for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand.
"I truly admire you, Grand Priest."
"Without your guidance, I would've never mastered such a powerful ability!"
"So the first person I want to thank… is you."
Kar bowed slightly toward the Grand Priest.
And while he was acting polite, in his heart, he meant every word.
If the Grand Priest hadn't bestowed him those powers, he'd have had to wait for the system.
"Haha!"
"Whis, Mr. Katakana has thanked you too!"
The Grand Priest looked at Whis with a warm expression, then grew serious again.
"Grand Priest, you can rest assured!"
"I will train Mr. Katakana just as I trained Lord Beerus. I believe in his potential!"
Whis responded with equal seriousness.
