When a God of Destruction Was Reincarnated in Tensura:

Chapter 157: The True God Of Destruction



As the battle between Beerus and Artemis began, Beerus's calm demeanor remained intact, his golden eyes watching Artemis with a faint smirk. Artemis, brimming with chaotic energy, launched relentless attacks, each more devastating than the last. The air cracked with the sound of space itself being torn apart. Firestorms, collapsing voids, and chaotic waves surged toward Beerus, but the God of Destruction either dodged with effortless grace or nullified them with a flick of his hand.

Beerus: (yawning, his tone taunting)

"Is this really all you have, Artemis? You claimed to be a god, didn't you? Or was that just your ego talking?"

Artemis: (gritting his teeth in frustration)

"You dare mock me?! I am chaos incarnate! The creator of annihilation itself! Your arrogance will be your downfall!"

He conjured a massive blade of raw chaos, its edge radiating destruction on a molecular level, and charged at Beerus with unmatched speed. The blade descended, its energy splitting the very dimensions apart, but Beerus tilted his head slightly, letting the weapon miss by mere inches.

Beerus: (mocking tone)

"Careful. You almost nicked me. Wouldn't want that, would we?"

Artemis roared, unleashing a volley of strikes, each blow powerful enough to erase entire realities. Yet every attack either dissipated before reaching Beerus or was dodged with minimal effort. Artemis grew more frustrated, his movements becoming wild and erratic.

In a desperate attempt to regain control, Artemis stopped his attacks, panting heavily, his chaotic aura flaring wildly around him. He smirked, deciding to taunt Beerus in hopes of unsettling him.

Artemis: (grinning wickedly)

"When I'm done with you, I think I'll pay some special attention to your wives. Perhaps they'd make excellent slaves before I erase them from existence. Yes, I think I'll enjoy breaking them."

The moment those words left his mouth, the entire multiverse froze. Every molecule, every atom, and every fragment of time came to a halt. Artemis felt an oppressive weight crush down on him as Beerus's aura shifted. Gone was the playful, taunting God of Destruction. In his place stood something far more terrifying—a force of nature, a being whose very existence was the embodiment of destruction.

Artemis's chaotic energy began to waver, trembling under the sheer pressure of Beerus's rage. The sky darkened, the ground shattered, and the void itself seemed to bend to Beerus's will.

Beerus: (his voice cold and devoid of emotion)

"You... dare? You dared to insult my wives? To even think you could touch them? That was the last mistake you'll ever make."

With a single glance from Beerus, Artemis felt his entire body freeze. An invisible force pulled him forward, dragging him to his knees before the God of Destruction. Artemis struggled, his chaotic energy surging in an attempt to resist, but nothing worked.

Artemis: (his voice trembling for the first time)

"What... what is this?! How are you doing this?!"

Beerus: (stepping closer, his gaze piercing)

"I gave you a chance to amuse me, Artemis. I even allowed you to believe you were worth my time. But now, you've overstepped. You think you're powerful? Let me show you the difference between a god... and a fool pretending to be one."

The Slaps of Humiliation

With a flick of his finger, Beerus stripped Artemis of all his powers. The chaotic aura that once surrounded him vanished as if it had never existed. Artemis gasped, his body trembling as he realized he was completely at Beerus's mercy.

Artemis: (desperate)

"No! This... this isn't possible! I am chaos! I am destruction! You can't do this to me!"

Beerus ignored his pleas. With a casual wave of his hand, he lifted Artemis into the air, suspending him in front of him. Then, with an almost bored expression, Beerus raised his hand and delivered the first slap.

The sound echoed across the ruined cardinal world, louder than any explosion. The force of the slap sent shockwaves rippling through reality, yet Artemis remained intact, his face stinging with unbearable pain.

Beerus: (calmly)

"That was for your arrogance."

Another slap followed, even harder than the first, sending Artemis spinning in midair before Beerus stopped him with a flick of his wrist.

Beerus: (his tone icy)

"And that was for threatening my wives."

Slap after slap followed, each one carrying the weight of a dying star. Artemis screamed in agony, his pride shattered as he was reduced to nothing more than a toy for Beerus's wrath. Beerus had modified reality itself, ensuring that Artemis wouldn't die but would feel every ounce of pain.

Beerus: (his voice dripping with disdain)

"You claimed to be a god, yet look at you now. Begging, pleading, and writhing like a pathetic worm. Tell me, Artemis, where is your so-called chaos now?"

Artemis: (sobbing, his voice broken)

"Please... spare me! I was wrong! I was foolish!"

Satisfied that Artemis had been thoroughly humiliated, Beerus lowered his hand. Artemis floated limply before him, his once-proud form reduced to a trembling, broken shell.

Beerus: (coldly)

"You've provided me with some entertainment, but your time is up. You'll suffer a fate worse than death, Artemis. You'll exist in agony, in fear, in pain, for eons. You will not die, yet you will not live. This is the punishment for your arrogance."

Artemis opened his mouth to plead once more, but Beerus raised his hand, cutting him off.

Beerus: (his voice like thunder)

"Enough. I grow tired of your existence. HAKAI."

With that single word, Artemis was consumed by a destructive energy so absolute that it erased him from existence. His screams echoed briefly before fading into silence, and then he was gone—every trace of him wiped away as if he had never been.

The multiverse, which had held its breath during the encounter, seemed to sigh in relief. Beerus turned to his wives, his expression calm once more.

Zerna: (smiling)

"You didn't even break a sweat. I almost feel bad for him."

Erza: (smirking)

"Almost. He got exactly what he deserved."

Beerus: (shrugging)

"Well, that was mildly entertaining.
