Beerus's Smile Froze
"I'll contact you separately about the location of the match," Champa smiled. "Good luck, Beerus!"
"Hmph, you talk as if your universe has already won!" Beerus sneered.
The call ended there.
"Whis, hurry up and find out what powerful humans our universe has. This time, we must utterly crush Universe 6!" Beerus said excitedly. "Actually, the Super Dragon Balls don't matter, face is very important! We absolutely cannot lose to those guys from Champa..."
Whis did not speak.
"However, wishing for a Gourmet Star with the Super Dragon Balls is a good option," Beerus mused.
Whis remained silent.
"Whis, stop standing there in a daze, hurry up and find some powerful humans!" Beerus urged.
Whis: "..."
"What's wrong?" Beerus asked.
Whis was just about to speak.
Beerus, however, burst into laughter.
Whis was taken aback, and looked at Beerus with some confusion, asking, "Why is Lord Beerus laughing?"
"Let me laugh for a bit first. I'm still laughing at the whole thing about the Earth being swapped between two universes! It's hilarious!" Beerus's laughter grew even wider, his mouth stretching to the back of his ears. "Tell me, isn't Champa a really pathetic guy? He has to obediently follow orders even when it comes to a competition between two universes. I'm just asking you, Champa, this God of Destruction, has practically no standing in Universe 6 anymore, right?"
As he spoke, Beerus laughed even more heartily.
"But, Lord Beerus, if we really are going to hold a competition between humans from two universes... it seems that all the powerful humans from our Universe 7 have been transferred to the Universe 6," Whis said in a deep voice.
Beerus's smile froze on his face, instantly solidifying, feeling worse than if he had eaten shit.
Beerus's expression was stiff, and his face was extremely ugly.
There was a full 30 seconds of silence.
"What...what did you say?" Beerus exclaimed.
"Currently, there are no powerful humans left in our Universe 7," Whis sighed softly.
"This... how is this possible? The universe is so vast, it's impossible that we can't even find a single powerful human!" Beerus exclaimed in disbelief, clutching his head.
Whis did not respond.
"Search carefully! I refuse to believe we can't find a powerful human!" Beerus clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth almost broke.
"Looking for..." Whis held the Scepter and searched the entire Universe 7.
Another 10 minutes passed.
"How is it, Whis?" Beerus asked, looking at Whis expectantly.
"No, Lord Beerus." Whis sighed softly. "About 30 years ago, the Grand Minister held a God of Destruction Selection Tournament, mainly to select a suitable God of Destruction and Supreme Kai for Universe 18! Back then, Lord Beerus was sleeping all the time and couldn't be woken up no matter what I did, so I had to bring someone from our universe to participate in the competition."
"Is that so?" Beerus was taken aback and quickly asked, "Who won in the end? Was it that Broly guy?"
"Yes, it is Lord Broly." Whis nodded.
"This time, the competition against Universe 6 was supposed to select fighters from among humans, right? Broly has already become a god, so he doesn't count." Beerus breathed a slight sigh of relief. "And that guy Bardock is also very strong, but he's also become a god! Now the only one who's difficult to deal with is that human named Goku! He hasn't become a god yet, has he?"
"Mr. Goku is currently a prospective Supreme Kai!" Whis replied.
"A prospective Supreme Kai? That doesn't qualify him as a true god! He should be able to participate in the competition!" Beerus said in a deep voice. "Therefore, we must find someone stronger than Goku to achieve victory."
"It's not easy to find someone. If I could find a suitable candidate, I would have done so more than 30 years ago." Whis shook his head.
"We have to find it quickly! We can't lose to Universe 6!" Beerus said through gritted teeth.
A brief silence.
"By the way, who was that human you were looking for more than 30 years ago?" Beerus asked.
"Frieza," Whis replied.
"That guy is dead, isn't he?" Beerus murmured.
"Yes," Whis nodded.
"Has he been reincarnated yet?" Beerus asked again.
Whis immediately examined the Scepter and explained, "He hasn't been reincarnated; he's still imprisoned in hell."
"Go ask him first!" Beerus instructed Whis.
"Okay, let's go to the Underworld right now." Whis nodded without objection and prepared to set off for the underworld.
"Wait a minute, what has the Supreme Kai been doing all these years? He should know there's a suitable candidate, right?" Beerus suddenly thought of the Supreme Kai just before setting off.
"Perhaps we could contact the Lord Supreme Kai," Whis said thoughtfully, "But Lord Beerus, we shouldn't have too high hopes."
"Let's ask that guy first! This concerns the face of our Universe 7!" Beerus snorted.
Whis immediately contacted the Supreme Kais of the Universe 7 and told him about the match.
"A match against Universe 6?" The Supreme Kai was taken aback.
"I'll ask you one question: do you know where the most powerful humans in our universe are? Find them right now! We can't lose this match!" Beerus commanded the Supreme Kai with a dark expression.
"Well..." The Supreme Kai scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "It seems that all the powerful humans in our universe have gone to Universe 6... There really isn't any."
"You... you bastard! What have you been doing all these years?" Beerus was furious. "How could you just stand by and watch all the powerful humans of our universe run off to other universes?"
"Lord Beerus has the nerve to say that about me... It was clearly Lord Beerus was sleeping, and sleeping for so long at that." The Supreme Kai replied, somewhat aggrieved.
"Stop arguing and find it for me right now!" Beerus roared angrily.
"Let me ask our Great Ancestor if he knows?" Supreme Kai.
"Which ancestor?" Beerus was taken aback.
"That's the old Lord Supreme Kai who was sealed inside the Divine Sword by Lord Beerus." The Supreme Kai snorted, clearly displeased.
Beerus slapped his forehead, finally remembering, and nodded, saying, "Hopefully that guy will be more reliable."
"Our Great Ancestor said that Lord Beerus might as well come to the Realm of the Kais, and we can think of a solution together." The Supreme Kai quickly relayed the Old Kai's words to Beerus.
"Idiot! Go and bring Lord Beerus over here yourself!" Old Kai shouted hysterically.
Beerus was startled.
That old guy's voice is really loud.
"Whoosh!"
The Supreme Kai immediately used Instant Transmission, appearing instantly beside Beerus and Whis.
The next moment, the Supreme Kai appeared in the Realm of the Kais with Whis and Beerus.
"Lord Beerus, it's been a long time." Old Kai bowed.
"Enough with the unnecessary nonsense. Think carefully about what kind of powerful human is suitable?" Beerus snorted and asked.
"I'm thinking about it." Old Kai, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought.
"I've thought of one, what do you guys think of Frieza?" Beerus asked.
"Frieza? Isn't that guy dead?" The Supreme Kai was taken aback, and casually pointed to the halo floating above his head.
Beerus was stunned again, his eyes widening as he looked at the halo above the Supreme Kai's head.
"What... what happened to you? How did you die?" Beerus asked in surprise.
"I was killed by Lord Beerus... Has Lord Beerus forgotten?" The Supreme Kai looked at Beerus with a hint of resentment, feeling quite aggrieved.
Beerus: "..."
"When did I kill you?" Beerus was startled and looked at Old Kai before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief.
As long as one Supreme Kai is still alive, I will be fine.
Otherwise, I will disappear as well.
"Never mind, it's all in the past." The Supreme Kai shook his head.
"Whis, quickly revive this guy," Beerus ordered Whis, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, Lord Beerus." Whis nodded, and waved his Scepter at the Supreme Kai from a distance.
In just a moment, the halo above the Supreme Kai's head disappeared.
Supreme Kai has been successfully revived!
"Huh? I'm resurrected? Thank you so much! Is this what an angel is? That's amazing!" The Supreme Kai was both surprised and delighted.
"Alright, what do you think of Frieza?" Beerus asked again.
"He's passable, but he's no match for Goku after all," the Supreme Kai his head and said in a deep voice. "Besides, he was defeated by Goku before. Even if he were to participate in the tournament, he would probably still lose."
"Then let's bring him over to make up the numbers," Old Kai pondered. "Or we can teach him some cultivation; maybe he can achieve even greater improvement."
"It's decided then, Frieza is included!" Beerus nodded, approving the decision, and instructed the Supreme Kai to continue the search.
The group of people were racking their brains.
After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a more suitable candidate.
Of course, some people also thought of Frieza's Cooler.
However, such people are only used to make up the numbers; their chances of winning are slim.
"It's all your fault, you idiot! Why didn't you keep an eye on Earth in our universe!" Beerus grew angrier the more he thought about it, and punched the Supreme Kai on the head. "If Earth from our universe hadn't run off to Universe 6, would I have had to rack my brains like this?"
"Lord Beerus... how can this be my fault? You were the one who slept for so long!" The Supreme Kai grimaced in pain as he argued his case.
"Alright, enough nonsense! Hurry up and find someone!" Beerus snorted.
"Oh, right, I just remembered something!" The Supreme Kai scratched his head and pondered, "I remember Goku saying that he went to the future through the Time-Space Ring and studied with the Supreme Kais of the Universe 6 for a long time."
Beerus paused slightly, his brows furrowing as he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Lord Beerus, think about it carefully. Perhaps in some future timeline, our two universes' Earths haven't been swapped!" The Supreme Kai chuckled.
"Kid, you've finally come up with a pretty good idea." Old Kai nodded in satisfaction and praised him with a smile, "This is a good idea. It's indeed possible to go to some future timeline to find humans belonging to our Universe 7."
"You know nothing!" Beerus's face darkened. "Unauthorized alteration of time and space is illegal!"
"Well... we didn't actually change time and space. We just went to a certain point in time and space and brought people from that place to participate in a competition. That's all," the Old Kai said with a grin.
"Lord Beerus, would you like to come with us?" the Supreme Kai suggested excitedly.
"Hmph, I'll pretend I don't know anything about this. You can go yourselves!" Beerus snorted, then asked Whis, "Whis, this isn't against the rules, is it?"
"If we don't change the spacetime we're in, but just go to a parallel universe and bring back humans to participate in a competition, it's not really against the rules," Whis pondered. "However, it's still on the edge of being against the rules. If handled properly, this method is still quite feasible."
"You guys go find someone in another timeline. I'll go find Frieza first, and then see if there are any suitable candidates." Beerus thought for a moment and finally agreed.
Who told you, Universe 6, to poach all the people from Universe 7?
I'm looking for people from another parallel universe, who can I blame for that?
Both sides acted independently.
The Universe 6, Earth.
Bulma's birthday party was drawing to a close.
As for the lucky draw, Chi-Chi won the third prize, Emily won the second prize, Gine won the right to use the seven Dragon Balls.
After the lottery ended, Champa and Vados also descended from the sky and landed near Luo Tian.
"Lord Kaiyen, regarding the competition with Universe 7, who do we plan to send?" Champa asked directly.
"A competition? That's great! I want to participate!" Goku immediately perked up his ears and said excitedly.
"Okay, Goku will do." Luo Tian nodded.
"Count me in!" Vegeta volunteered as well.
"One Vegeta." Luo Tian did not object.
"Can I participate too?" Buu pointed to his nose.
"Gods are not allowed to participate; only humans can participate in the competition." Luo Tian shook his head.
"Oh..." Buu was a little disappointed.
"Only humans can participate in the competition? That's great! I'll participate too," Piccolo replied.
Luo Tian nodded in agreement.
"Brother Gohan, shall we join too?" Kale turned to ask Gohan.
"Okay," Gohan readily agreed.
"Let's skip Gohan this time," Luo Tian shook his head. "Kale participate."
"Why don't you let Brother Gohan participate in the competition?" Kale, puzzled.
"Gohan's skill level still needs improvement. Let's wait until he improves before making any decisions." Luo Tian wasn't very optimistic about Gohan yet.
"Only humans can participate in the competition. Why don't we let my brother Calorie participate?" Goku suggested, scratching his head.
"Hehe, I do have a very good player here." Champa smiled mysteriously.
Everyone looked at Champa.
"His name is Hit, and he's known as the Strongest in the Universe," Champa said with a smile, revealing the contestant's name.
"Okay, then let Hit." Luo Tian nodded.
"Hit? Is he that powerful?" Goku became even more excited.
"Of course! You'll see when the time comes!" Champa revealed a smug smile.
