Encounter

"Strange noise, it sounds like someone's coming!"

Old Supreme Kai glanced in the direction East Supreme Kai had come from and just happened to see Kibito's embarrassing figure falling from the sky.

"Is this the new Supreme Kai? Why does it feel so terrible?"

Old Supreme Kai said with some disappointment, because the Fusion Earrings had merged with an old witch whose fighting power was close to zero. Although Old Supreme Kai gained many amazing abilities as a result, his actual fighting power and training aptitude regressed instead of improving. Even before the 15th generation, he was the lowest-ranked Supreme Kai.

Otherwise, Beerus wouldn't have specifically sealed him away—because he was the weakest and the easiest to kill!

After being sealed inside the Supreme Kai Sword, the Old Supreme Kai's strength has stagnated over the years, almost reaching the same level as Frieza. However, despite his weakened strength, the Old Supreme Kai's eyesight has not diminished. He immediately recognized that the East Supreme Kai's strength was exceptionally weak among Supreme Kai in history.

Moreover... the Old Supreme Kai sensed that within the World of the Kais, the Supreme Kai's sensory abilities were amplified to the limit, enough to scan the entire World of the Kais. However, after searching the entire World of the Kais several times, the Old Supreme Kai still did not find any other Supreme Kai.

Is there only one Supreme Kai left? And he's so weak? The Old Supreme Kai's mind raced, and he immediately understood that something must have happened to this world.

That damn Beerus! That bastard God of Destruction must have failed in his duties again! Otherwise, how could the Supreme Kai have suffered such casualties?

The Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction are two sides of the same coin. It's not just that the Supreme Kai is related to the life of the God of Destruction; if anything happens to the Supreme Kai God of Destruction, Mei Terumi will inevitably be wiped out as well.

Now that there are other Supreme Kai, the God of Destruction must not be dead. In that case, Beerus obviously hasn't been fulfilling his duties.

After some time, the East Supreme Kai dug out the dusty and dirty Kibito. The two stared blankly for a moment at the Broken Sword that had smashed a large crater in the ground.

"This sword looks like... the Supreme Kai Sword?"

Kibito spoke, then shook his head abruptly, a forced smile on his face:

"No, impossible, how could this be? Hahahaha, how could the Supreme Kai Sword break so easily?"

Unlike Kibito, East Supreme Kai didn't have much of an obsession with the Supreme Kai Sword. Although he was somewhat surprised by the Supreme Kai Sword breaking, he didn't care too much. All his attention was now focused on Old Supreme Kai on the opposite mountain.

"Alright, Kibito, forget about that Broken Sword... Let's go pay a visit to this newly appeared Supreme Kai!"

As the East Supreme Kai approached, he quickly confirmed that the Old Supreme Kai before him belonged to the true Supreme Kai Clan, and that his aura was incredibly ancient, clearly indicating that he was an ancient senior from countless generations ago.

Supreme Kai have long lifespans, and as a high-ranking member of the Dragon Ball Shinto system, even if they die, they will at most have a halo above their heads. King Yemma can't possibly control his superior, and can still roam around freely.

So even if on the surface there is only one Supreme Kai, Shin, it wouldn't be surprising if another one suddenly popped out from some corner of the universe. Who knows if this is Supreme Kai from many years ago who has come back to life?

Most importantly—Xin is suffering in his heart!

He had only been the Supreme Kai for less than a year or two when the trouble Majin Buu emerged. The other four Supreme Kai, who were either powerful, experienced, or shrewd, were all swallowed whole by Majin Buu.

Only the pitiful East Supreme Kai remains, maintaining order in the entire universe by himself. Unfortunately, he lacks both power and experience, and many secrets known only to Supreme Kai have not been passed down. Therefore, he lives in constant fear.

Especially since Majin Buu didn't truly die, but was sealed away. Nobody knew when he would break free, which made the Supreme Kai pay attention to the universe Tenten, to the point that he was a bit neurotic.

Unfortunately Majin Buu Pakura was ultimately sealed by his creator, not by the Supreme Kai. Even if he wanted to find out where the seal was, he couldn't. Otherwise, the Supreme Kai wouldn't have been so worried.

"This... senior, you are also Supreme Kai, right? Where did you live before?"

After calming himself down, the East Supreme Kai asked the Old Supreme Kai very respectfully.

Old Supreme Kai scratched his head, looked at the young East Supreme Kai in front of him, and said:

"I am indeed Supreme Kai. If we're talking about time... well, let me calculate... I should be Supreme Kai from about 15 generations ago!"

"As for where I live? I've always been sealed inside this Supreme Kai Sword!"

At this point, the Old Supreme Kai's face was full of anger, and he really wanted to curse a few words, but thinking that the cat was always short-tempered and narrow-minded, he swallowed all the curses he had in his mouth.

"Ah... so the Supreme Kai Sword, which possesses immense power, is actually just a seal?"

The East Supreme Kai's astonished expression left the Old Supreme Kai speechless. What exactly had his seal been transformed into?

"Then, sir, where did you come from? Did you draw the Liberation Sword and release the Old Supreme Kai?"

After muttering a couple of times that the rumors had been distorted horribly, the East Supreme Kai stopped worrying about that and turned to Vegapunk to ask another question.

After all, the Supreme Kai's attire is very conspicuous. Their clothes and earrings are all the Isshiki. Even Kibito, the Supreme Kai's servant, is dressed very similarly to the Supreme Kai.

On the contrary, Vegapunk was wearing ordinary clothes, and he didn't wear any Potara Earrings. His hair and skin were completely different from the Supreme Kai's race, so he obviously had nothing to do with the Old Supreme Kai.

Not to mention that when Vegapunk appeared in the World of the Kais, the East Supreme Kai and Kibito had already discovered him. At that time, the Old Supreme Kai's aura was not present, which clearly indicates that it was this Vegapunk who released the Old Supreme Kai from his seal.

(Able to pull out the Supreme Kai Sword, I never imagined that such a powerful warrior had appeared in our universe!)

"That's right, I did release this Old Supreme Kai, and he has already agreed to help me develop his potential!"

Vegapunk nodded; there was nothing wrong with saying it, and he readily admitted it.

"I see... So you also possess the ability to directly unlock the potential of others?"

The East Supreme Kai nodded, not particularly surprised. As the strongest creative Deity in a single universe, any Supreme Kai possesses extremely high talent in magic, and it's perfectly normal for them to have ways to develop their potential.

"Ah, I did promise to help you develop your potential, but I should at least see if you're truly a righteous person!"

Seemingly because he saw the East Supreme Kai and Kibito, the Old Supreme Kai spoke up again, and then a knife was held to his neck.

"Huh... why did you pull out another knife?"

Old Supreme Kai shuddered. He was all too familiar with the aura emanating from this sword; it was the Supreme Kai Sword that had sealed him away back then. But hadn't that thing just shattered?

Vegapunk rolled his eyes. "I can control Electromagnetic Ability, I can remelt metals, and I can reassemble the Supreme Kai Sword into a shorter dagger. Isn't that normal?"

"You old man, are you trying to renege on your debt? Believe me or not, I'll chop you up with one stroke!"

"You are not allowed to be disrespectful to Supreme Kai!"

Kibito let out a roar and charged forward, only to be stunned by a casual punch from Vegapunk.

Kibito's fighting power was just so-so, not even comparable to Cell, let alone Vegapunk, who is now almost comparable to Majin Buu. Naturally, he was defeated in one move.

Seeing Vegapunk's brutality, Old Supreme Kai immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

"Well... even if you force me, it won't work. As Supreme Kai, I can't possibly develop the potential of those reckless individuals!"

"Then come and see! I'd also like to know what you think of me!"

Vegapunk snorted and sheathed his sword. He wasn't from the Dragon Ball Universe, so how could Supreme Kai really find his information?

But in fact, Vegapunk was overthinking it. Although he didn't belong to the Dragon Ball World, the things he did in the Dragon Ball World wouldn't just disappear for no reason.

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that they killed Frieza and King Cold and subdued Frieza Force was already a major event that shook the entire universe.

In fact, after reviewing Vegapunk's actions, the two Supreme Kai actually described him as a very virtuous person. There was no way around it; simply killing Frieza and King Cold was already a huge achievement, not to mention that Vegapunk had also subdued Frieza Force and reformed them.

While collecting protection money is by no means a righteous act, Vegapunk's actions are undoubtedly incredibly benevolent compared to Frieza Force, which used to destroy planets and exterminate species at will.

Not to mention that, in a broader sense, Vegapunk's actions can be said to have maintained the order of the entire universe. At least after the establishment of Vegapunk's Umbrella Corporation, the "justice value" of the entire universe has increased significantly.

Yes, the Dragon Ball Universe also has the concept of justice, but it's unclear whether it was a design by Grand Zeno or an angel.

"I really didn't expect this. You're such an amazing person, having made such a great contribution... I thought you were some kind of space bandit, hahaha!"

Old Supreme Kai chuckled awkwardly, muttering to himself:

He directly threatened this old man with a knife. This kid doesn't seem like a good person at all! I really didn't expect this. I was originally planning to back out.

However, since Vegapunk wasn't a bad person, the Old Supreme Kai didn't intend to go back on his word. As Supreme Kai, he was quite knowledgeable and could tell that while Vegapunk wasn't a truly pure good person, he wasn't the kind of evil villain who liked to destroy things either.

As long as it's not a monster with pure, inherent evil like a demon, even a villain like Frieza, the Supreme Kai can actually tolerate it. After all, although Frieza's personality leans towards chaos and evil, he's not just a madman who only knows how to destroy.

In some ways, Frieza is quite clever, cleverly hiding his destructive desires under the guise of being the spokesperson for the God of Destruction. But it is precisely because of this that Frieza is also very self-aware. Although he has never been without genocide, he rarely destroys planets.

For the Supreme Kai, having a few more powerful beings in their universe, as long as they aren't destructive maniacs, is actually something they'd be happy to see.

After all, the Dragon Ball Universe is fraught with danger, especially Seventh Universe, where the God of Destruction is a lazy guy who likes to sleep. They also hope to become some strong individuals who can maintain order in the universe.

The East Supreme Kai had nothing to say. Ever since he learned that Vegapunk had pulled out the Supreme Kai Sword, his gaze had been constantly scrutinizing Vegapunk.

Old Supreme Kai only had the idea of forming a good relationship and increasing the power of order in helping Vegapunk develop his abilities, while East Supreme Kai was very happy. He knew very well that there was still a Majin Buu sealed in the universe!

If that thing were to break free of its seal and escape, the universe would truly be doomed. The East Supreme Kai shudders at the mere thought of Majin Buu.

As for the Old Supreme Kai in front of us... well, even without Majin Buu, this old senior seems to be trembling with age. Expecting him to fight Majin Buu is wishful thinking.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, now it's time to unlock my potential and increase my strength!"

"Um, just wait a moment!"

The East Supreme Kai looked at Vegapunk and suddenly spoke:

"I have a favor to ask you!"

Upon hearing the words of the East Supreme Kai, Vegapunk turned his head:

"What is it? You know, this old man has already promised to help me develop my potential. If you need my help with anything else, don't forget to prepare a reward!"

"Well..."

The East Supreme Kai was immediately speechless. Supreme Kai always held a high position, and this East Supreme Kai was even more inexperienced. He had never seen anyone try to bargain with him like this before.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about this after I've upgraded!"

Vegapunk waved his hand, then looked at the Old Supreme Kai. The Old Supreme Kai paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, alright, I'll start strengthening you right away. But I've been sealed for so long, let me eat something first!"

Vegapunk had no objection to this, and soon, led by the East Supreme Kai, the group arrived at the place where the Supreme Kai lived.
