By Heaven's Mandate, the Grand Minister Decreed: Merus Kneels

Broly blushed slightly and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Can we play together now?" Xiao Ai asked with a grin.

Broly remained silent.

"What are you looking at!" Xiao Ai said softly.

Broly: "..."

"Tell me quickly, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ai stared at Broly expectantly.

Broly scratched his head.

"Tell me quickly!" Xiao Ai urged.

For some reason, Xiao Ai's eyes reddened, and two streams of hot tears flowed down her cheeks.

"I'll talk, I'll talk... Don't cry." Broly panicked, seeing such a beautiful girl shed tears in front of him for the first time.

Then, Broly stammered somewhat embarrassedly, "What... what are you looking at... what's wrong with you..."

"Pfft..."

Xiao Ai stopped crying and started laughing.

Luo Tian: "..."

"This is the Xiao Ai you modified?" Luo Tian turned to look at Bulma. "Just so Broly could say, 'What are you looking at?'"

"Perhaps... you don't understand love." Bulma glanced in that direction with a complicated expression.

Luo Tian remained silent.

"Everyone needs time to grow." Bulma blinked her long eyelashes and sighed, "Even robots are no exception."

Luo Tian said no more, walked to the side, and calmly picked up the Scepter, intending to contact the Grand Minister.

Bulma hesitated for a moment, then curiously leaned closer.

"I'm going to contact the most powerful god in the entire universe next, so don't say anything," Luo Tian instructed.

"Okay." Bulma nodded obediently.

Luo Tian quickly contacted the Grand Minister.

The Grand Minister's voice emanated from the Crystal Ball of the Scepter, and even Grand Minister image was displayed within the Crystal Ball.

"Luo Tian, what brings you here?" The Grand Minister still had a faint smile on his face.

"It's nothing serious. The reason Grand Minister is that I've found two suitable God of Destruction." Luo Tian God.

"You don't want to contribute Broly and Buu to Universe 3 and Universe 9, do you?" the Grand Minister said with a smile, easily understanding Luo Tian's true intentions.

"Why should the God of Destruction I painstakingly nurtured become a wedding dress for another angel?" Luo Tian replied righteously.

Grand Minister: "..."

"Majin Buu wasn't created by you, was he?" the Grand Minister retorted. "To be precise, he was Merus's God of Destruction."

"Do you think Majin Buu recognizes him?" Luo Tian laughed.

The Grand Minister took a deep breath, not wanting to continue on this topic.

"Leaving aside Broly and Majin Buu, let's talk about those two new Apprentice God of Destruction you found. If they're not up to the task, they can't go to those two universes to take up their posts," the Grand Minister said solemnly, his hands behind his back.

"What level of skill is required?" Luo Tian asked.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as these two can team up to defeat Jiren from Universe 11, they'll be qualified to replace Broly and Majin Buu." The Grand Minister's lips curled into a slight smile, his laughter growing even brighter. "Let me make it clear beforehand: no cheating! Both sides must fight at their peak!"

"The two of them teamed up?" Luo Tian was stunned, and almost laughed.

Grand Minister, have you not been observing the universe lately?

Do you not know how powerful these two new people I found are?

"Not bad, the two of them working together will suffice." The Grand Minister nodded slightly.

"Are you going to watch the game?" Luo Tian asked.

"I won't go. Let Merus go with you." The Grand Minister thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to personally intervene in such a trivial matter.

"Alright then, I was just about to go to Merus's place to show him off the two new God of Destruction I just found." Luo Tian readily agreed. "When I see Merus, I'll relay the Grand Minister's words to him."

Grand Minister: "..."

Are you really going to show off?

And... did this kid really find two suitable God of Destruction?

You found it in such a short time?

During this period, the Grand Minister had not actually observed any movements related to Luo Tian.

The Grand Minister is usually very busy and cannot pay attention to Luo Tian all the time.

Of course, sometimes the Grand Minister will also pick up his Scepter and occasionally take a look at what is happening in the universe.

In the Grand Minister's view, it was impossible for Luo Tian to find two new God of Destruction so quickly.

The reason I mentioned Jiren is that, currently, Jiren is probably the most powerful human in the entire universe.

Let's reserve this spot first, so that Luo Tian won't try to take advantage of it.

Moreover, given Jiren's strength, he should be able to easily crush any human who comes to challenge him.

Or to put it another way, if Jiren had participated in the last Universe 18 God of Destruction Selection Tournament, Broly wouldn't have had a chance.

However, Jiren wasn't particularly interested in the God of Destruction.

However, he can still help test the strength of the other God of Destruction.

"Then I wish you great success. If the two of them can defeat Jiren, then take them directly to Universe 3 and Universe 9 to take up their posts. I've already made arrangements with them there." The Grand Minister said with a smile.

"Of course, of course." Luo Tian nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly bowed, "Thank you for your trouble Grand Minister."

Grand Minister: "..."

"That's fine then." The Grand Minister sighed helplessly. "There's no need to deliberately try to imitate the way we angels do things."

"You should have said so sooner." Luo Tian immediately stood up straight, ramrod straight.

The Grand Minister simply ended the call.

Why is it that chatting with this kid is a bit of a drain on my Angelic Power?

Is this kid here to bring me bad luck?

Hopefully, Merus hasn't let me down.

The call ended quickly, and Luo Tian immediately contacted Merus.

"Merus, are you there?" Luo Tian asked.

Merus: "..."

Merus's image quickly came into view.

Can I not be here?

Where else could I be if I'm not here?

"What I mean is, you're at the Galactic Patrol Headquarters, right?" Luo Tian changed his question.

"Yes, I just came back from a mission." Merus took out his Scepter from his room and spoke to Luo Tian.

"We'll be at the Galactic Patrol Headquarters in two minutes," Luo Tian said with a smile. "Make arrangements to give us a welcome dinner."

Merus was speechless with emotion.

It's as if a very high-ranking leader is coming.

But he's right...

A god is coming.

There's nothing wrong with giving him a welcome-back dinner.

"Wait a minute... Let's have a welcome dinner for you. Besides you, Broly, Buu, is there anyone else?" Merus looked at Luo Tian through the Crystal Ball in his Scepter and found two more unfamiliar faces.

There was another girl whose face looked familiar; she seemed to be Tights's sister.

"There are quite a few people here," Merus, a little surprised. "Are you here for tourism?"

"We'll talk about it when we get there," Luo Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll have the restaurant prepare food for you." Merus nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this is my best friend." Luo Tian replied with a smile.

Merus was speechless.

"By the way, are you really planning to keep your new God of Destruction a secret?" Luo Tian suddenly asked again.

"Sorry, Luo Tian, there's no need to know so early. There's still a long time before the competition," Merus said with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.

"I was just asking." Luo Tian chuckled, deliberately waving his Scepter in Bardock's direction before staring intently at Merus.

Merus paused for a moment, clearly noticing Bardock and carefully observing his appearance.

"Is this... Mr. Goku?" Merus asked. "He doesn't seem quite like him..."

"He's Goku's father," Luo Tian said in a low voice. "Don't tell him about this yet."

"Okay, I understand." Merus nodded.

Luo Tian found it a bit strange.

Judging from Merus's expression, the new God of Destruction he has found is probably not Bardock.

Otherwise, he would never have had that expression.

Luo Tian was genuinely curious: who would Merus choose to become the new God of Destruction?

Luo Tian couldn't think of anyone more suitable.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Luo Tian decided not to think about it anymore.

We'll find out when the assessment comes.

A few minutes later, Luo Tian, along with Broly, Bulma, and the others, landed at the Galactic Patrol's base.

The Galactic King came to greet them personally.

Tights also came over to greet her sister.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they met again, they hugged each other, feeling both excited and thrilled.

"Huh? Bulma, why do I feel like you've gotten younger?" Tights looked up at Bulma, and the more she looked, the more something seemed off.

"Hehe." Bulma chuckled, but didn't say anything more.

"Luo Tian... you've changed so much, your hair has turned white." The Galactic King kept sighing, "Time is a cruel mistress, it ages us all so quickly."

Luo Tian smiled, offered no explanation, and simply shook hands with the Galactic King.

"You're Broly? You've grown so much in the blink of an eye." Galactic King looked at Broly in a friendly manner.

Broly reached out and grabbed one of Galactic King's tentacles.

The Galactic King's face turned red immediately.

"Why do you always like to grab me there?" Galactic King asked shyly.

Broly: "..."

Broly immediately wiped his hands on Majin Buu's body.

Buu: "???"

"What?" Buu turned to Broly and asked.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it," Broly replied.

Buu scratched his head, wondering what had happened.

"This beautiful lady... hello, what's your name?" Galactic King stretched his tentacles toward Xiao Ai again.

This time they are real tentacles.

Xiao Ai forward, shook hands with him, and said her name.

"What a unique name!" Galactic King laughed.

Then, Galactic King and Bardock shook hands politely.

Bardock remained expressionless.

After exchanging pleasantries, Galactic King treated Luo Tian and his group to a good meal at a restaurant.

"Hey, didn't we just have dinner at Satan's house?" Bardock asked Broly, a little puzzled.

Buu turned around and glared at Bardock, scolding him, "Don't cause trouble, the food here is delicious."

Bardock then realized what was going on.

However, after Bardock tasted the food here, he suddenly felt... that it didn't taste as good as Satan's food.

However, Buu ate very happily.

Bardock figured it out: it wasn't that the food here was good, it was that Buu, that fat guy, thought the food would taste better anywhere else.

"Oh my, isn't this Elite Jaco...? Why is he so unnoticed?" Luo Tian stepped forward, patted Jaco on the shoulder, and greeted him.

Jaco: "..."

Are you being polite?

How can you talk like that?

Jaco and Luo Tian shook hands, and then said nothing more.

"What's wrong with him? Is he on his period?" Luo Tian turned to ask Merus.

Jaco: "..."

Merus: "..."

A brief silence.

Merus invited Luo Tian to a place a little further away.

"The players in the Jaco probably really feel like they don't have much of a presence, which is why they're so unhappy," Merus said with a bitter smile.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Luo Tian waved his hand. "He'll get used to it."

Merus didn't know how to respond.

There was another moment of silence.

"Luo Tian, I specifically gave you enough time to train that Mr. Goku, so why did you come here for a vacation?" Merus looked at Luo Tian with some confusion.

When Merus mentioned Goku's name, he deliberately lowered his voice, afraid that Bardock would hear him.

In this respect, Merus is quite careful.

"Let others build Goku's foundation. I'll just break through that foundation and push his abilities to their limits," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Merus was slightly taken aback.

You really are a hands-off manager.

"I gave the 'Ultra Instinct Manual' to Goku," Luo Tian said truthfully.

"You don't mean it? Do you think everyone can comprehend Ultra Instinct like you?" Merus shook his head slightly. "It's very rare for a human to appear like that... Besides, even if you want him to comprehend Ultra Instinct, it's best to guide him yourself, rather than giving him a book to read."

"Let's talk about it later, there's no rush." Luo Tian God. "Actually, there's another matter I wanted to discuss with you this time."

"What is it?" Merus asked.

"I accidentally nurtured two rather powerful God of Destruction," Luo Tian couldn't help but sigh.

"You... what did you say?" Merus' eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating. Then he smiled slightly. "Luo Tian, you're not talking about Broly and Majin Buu, are you? They are indeed very strong, there's no doubt about that, especially your Annihilation Transformation technique, which made Broly's strength reach an unprecedented level."

"I'm talking about two new, relatively powerful God of Destruction." Luo Tian chuckled. "How about it? Want to show off your God of Destruction?"

"Are there really two new candidates for God of Destruction?" Merus was stunned and immediately looked in the direction of Bardock and Xiao Ai.

Merus wasn't stupid; he easily figured out that the two of them were likely people that Luo Tian had cultivated.

"Is it them?" Merus asked.

"Hurry up and take your God of Destruction out for a spin," Luo Tian said with a smile.

"This... I... my God of Destruction is still in its growth stage... I'm sorry..." Merus felt a slight tightness in his heart and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Merus originally wanted to scan Bardock and Xiao Ai, but after thinking about it, he realized it wouldn't be appropriate to do so in front of Luo Tian, so he gave up.

"Since you're not planning to show off your God of Destruction, then let's show off your Supreme Kai." Luo Tian took a sip of tea and looked at Merus with a smile.

Merus: "..."

Why are you trying to take advantage of me, the Supreme Kai, again?

"This... isn't that inappropriate?" Merus was both amused and exasperated.

"Grand Minister's order!" Luo Tian suddenly shouted at Merus.

Merus paused for a moment.

"Why aren't you kneeling and bowing in respect?" Luo Tian.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Merus suddenly realized that what Luo Tian said seemed to make sense.

Merus immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

Linglong simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Luo Tian, if you try to fool the Grand Minister's own son like this, be careful the Grand Minister make things difficult for you," Linglong kindly reminded him.

"Look at what you're saying... Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Luo Tian didn't care at all. "Shouldn't he kneel down when he hears the Grand Minister's order? That's the attitude he should have as a son."

Linglong:"..."

I'm speechless at what you've said.

That seems to make sense, but something just doesn't feel quite right.

Merus knelt on one knee, listening to the command conveyed by Luo Tian.

Merus believed that although Luo Tian sometimes liked to joke around, he would never joke about something like this.

Luo Tian would never casually relay an order that the Grand Minister had not issued.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Grand Minister decrees! Merus, receive the decree!" Luo Tian.

Merus: "???"

What are you saying? Why can't I understand?

"Simply put, the Grand Minister wants my two newly chosen God of Destruction to team up and challenge Jiren. If they can defeat Jiren, they can replace Broly and Buu to take up their posts in Universe 3 and Universe 9," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Merus finally understood; so that's what it was all about.

"Understood. When do you plan to leave?" Merus nodded slightly, without objecting.

"Let's talk about it in a few days, there's no rush," Luo Tian replied.

After spending another two days at the Galactic Patrol Headquarters, Luo Tian and his group finally set off in a grand procession.

The Galactic King personally came to see him off.

Bulma originally wanted to go with Luo Tian, but considering that they were going to fight, she decided to stay with the Galactic Patrol and keep her sister company for a while.

Luo Tian agreed, saying that he would come and pick up Bulma and bring her back to Earth after the matter with the God of Destruction was over.

In order to ensure a fair and just competition, Merus, following the Grand Minister's orders, specially accompanied the group.

The Universe 4, the God of Destruction's Realm.

The Planet Quitela.

Quitela has been back for quite some time.

During this time, Quitela stayed in the God of Destruction's Realm, where he often had nightmares and screamed in the middle of the night.

Angel Cognac was helpless for a while.

Why did you go and provoke Luo Tian and the others?

Thank goodness you're alright...

Fortunately, Luo Tian didn't have a suitable God of Destruction at hand.

Otherwise, Lord Quitela might be in trouble.

After several days of recuperation, Quitela finally calmed down a little.

Quitela sat on the ground, taking deep breaths, and felt less afraid than before.

Perhaps on the bright side, my attitude in admitting my mistake was good, and Lord Kaiyen forgave me.

That's possible!

Absolutely!

Quitela felt that his performance was quite commendable.

Quitela took a deep breath and got up from the ground.

Just then, a streak of purplish-red light flashed and flew rapidly toward the land of the God of Destruction's Realm.

"Whoosh!"

Champa swayed and landed beside Quitela.

Quitela paused for a moment, his brows furrowing as he looked at Champa.

"Quitela, it's been a long time!" Champa laughed and stepped forward to greet him in a friendly manner.

"Hmph, what do you want from me?" Quitela snorted.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Champa grinned.

"Say what you have to say, or shut up," Quitela scoffed. "I don't have time to play games with you."

"Then I'll be blunt." Champa gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said resentfully, "I came to you because I want your help."

"Help? Help with what?" Quitela was slightly taken aback.

"Don't laugh at me, but do you remember that guy named Broly?" Champa asked.

"What... what are you saying about him? Are you here to humiliate me?" Quitela trembled, his anger blazing like thunder.

Champa: "???"

"Smack!"

Quitela stepped forward and grabbed Champa's neck.

Champa: "..."

What does that mean?

What did I say?

"Bang!"

Quitela delivered a powerful blow, slamming Champa's head to the ground.

"Boom!"

Champa's head made intimate contact with the earth of the God of Destruction's Realm, and he felt as if his head was about to split open, and he was dizzy for a while.

Quitela then raised the Champa high again.

"Champa, you're getting bolder and bolder, coming to my God of Destruction's Realm to humiliate me?" Quitela said, getting angrier and angrier.

Champa was so badly beaten that he was somewhat dazed.

I didn't say anything...

"Cough..." Champa coughed, feeling unwell, and hurriedly asked, "What did I say to you?"

"Get out! I don't want to hear you! If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll teach you a lesson!" Quitela said, kicking Champa hard.

"Call out!"

The Champa swayed and flew into the sky, then tumbled several times in the air.

Champa quickly regained his balance and looked down at Quitela with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

"Quitela, are you out of your mind?" Champa shouted angrily.

"Try saying that again!" Quitela narrowed his eyes.

"You wait, I'll get Beerus to come and beat you up!" Champa said ruthlessly, his body radiating a crimson light as he quickly fled.

"You wretched wildcat!" Quitela sneered repeatedly, "Coming to my territory to humiliate me!"

Cognac: "..."

Angel Cognac stood by, speechless.

"Perhaps... Lord Champa didn't come here to humiliate Lord Quitela?" Cognac kindly advised.

"Hmph, of course I know!" Quitela glanced sideways and snorted. "How could I not know what this guy is up to? Maybe he got beaten up by that Broly guy and wants me to come help him get revenge!"

"Lord Quitela doesn't want to help?" Cognac asked.

"What help do you want? It's already a miracle that I came back alive. Do you think I would dare to go and cause trouble?" Quitela said emphatically.

Cognac was speechless.

The Champa wanted to cry but had no tears.

This is troublesome!

Has Quitela lost his mind?

I didn't say anything, and they beat me up first...

Who should I contact next?

After much hesitation, Champa decided to wait until Beerus woke up before making any decisions.

Currently, it seems that apart from Quitela, no God of Destruction is strong enough to defeat Broly.

Unless all the God of Destruction are united.

In the following period, Champa slunk back to Universe 6, not daring to cause any more trouble.

"Oh my, Lord Champa is back?" Vados greeted with a smile.

"Hmph, Vados, you still know how to come back?" Champa rolled his eyes and gave Vados a disgruntled look.

"Oh dear, Lord Champa seems to be in a bad mood. Has something happened?" Vados asked with a smile.

Champa remained silent, pursing his lips with a sullen expression.

"Let me guess... Lord Champa might have run into Mr. Broly?" Vados asked with a smile.

"Hmph, why ask so many questions when you already know?" Champa snorted, his mood growing increasingly annoyed.

"The Champa people should feel fortunate," Vados sighed softly.

"What? I got beaten up by that guy, and I should feel lucky?" Champa rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Oh dear, oh dear... Lord Champa, you may not know, but a lot has happened to Broly," Vados exclaimed.

"What else could happen to him?" Champa glanced at him sideways.

"Does Lord Champa really not know?" Vados shrugged and continued, "About 24 years ago, Mr. Broly personally destroyed the two God of Destruction Mosco and Sidra."

Champa's eyes widened and his ears perked up, his face showing utter astonishment.

A brief silence.

"What... what did you say?" Champa's voice rose several octaves, becoming increasingly shrill.

"Lord Champa, you heard me right. The Gods of Destruction of the Universe 3 and Universe 9 are dead, and the Supreme Kais of the Universe have also disappeared," Vados replied truthfully.

"Broly... killed them both?" Champa trembled violently.

"Yes," Vados nodded.

Champa's face grew increasingly grim.

In other words, when Broly fought me, was he deliberately holding back?

And they even gave me a strange bean to eat, which restored my strength.

Champa's face turned pale instantly.

I calmed myself down a bit.

"He... he killed two God of Destruction... Didn't the Grand Minister punish him?" Champa asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course there will be punishment," Vados replied. "Because these two universes have no God of Destruction and are gradually heading towards extinction, Broly and Buu are punished to take over the positions of Gods of Destruction of the Universe."

Champa: "..."
