Merus's Invitation

Vados and the Prophecy Fish looked into the distance.

In the distance, in a huge crater, Vegeta was being slammed to the ground by Champa, his head slammed against the earth. He had reverted from his Super Saiyan 4 form to his Base Form, and his head was deeply embedded in the ground.

"Vegeta, you're getting cocky just because I went easy on you a little?" Champa said coldly.

"Ah... ahhh..." Vegeta let out screams, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Who do you think is the weakest God of Destruction?" Champa slapped Vegeta twice more across the face. "With your level of skill, you're supposed to Apprentice God of Destruction? Don't embarrass the God of Destruction!"

As he spoke, Champa stood up from the ground and added, "However, I acknowledge that you have made such great progress in such a short period of time! If you were in Beerus's Universe 7, maybe that guy Beerus would cherish you more!"

After he finished speaking, Champa appeared beside Vados.

"Vados, fix that place," Champa said.

"Yes, Lord Champa." Vados nodded and appeared in the crater where Vegeta was.

Vegeta struggled to his feet and clenched his fists tightly.

"Mr. Vegeta, don't be discouraged. You've done very well," Vados said to Vegeta with a smile.

"That fat guy is right... I'm no match for him at all! At my current level, when will I ever become a true God of Destruction?" Vegeta's body trembled.

"If you want to become a true God of Destruction, you need to train even harder," Vados advised. "However, it's clear that you're not very suited to training the Ultra Instinct; you're more suited to training the Ultra Ego that Luo Tian taught you."

"Understood..." Vegeta nodded.

"If you can cultivate your Ultra Ego to the extreme, you will become a true God of Destruction," Vados added.

"Understood. This time, I'm determined to surpass Kakarot no matter what!" Vegeta said through gritted teeth.

"So, starting tomorrow, will we increase the time for special training?" Vados asked.

"No, we can talk about training later." Vegeta shook his head decisively. "Can you send me back to Earth?"

"Is there something you need?" Vados was slightly taken aback.

"I can't come here for a while," Vegeta replied.

"During this time?" Vados was taken aback again, somewhat confused about the situation.

Doesn't Vegeta really enjoy training?

"You haven't surpassed Mr. Goku yet," Vados said with a smile.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta felt a pang of heartache at that moment.

"Vados, your Scepter has been found!" The Prophecy Fish flew over with Vados's Scepter in its hand.

Vados nodded slightly and accepted the Scepter.

"There's a message that keeps flashing," the Prophecy Fish said to Vados.

"Yes, yes, someone called... Who could it be?" Vados looked at the Scepter, then called out to the Crystal Ball on Scepter, "Hello, who is this?"

"Great! It's finally connected!" Goku was overjoyed, and his voice immediately came through, "Hello, Vados, this is Goku."

"Oh, it's Mr. Goku. What can I do for you?" Vados asked politely.

"I'd like to go to your place to cultivate, is that alright?" Goku scratched his head and asked.

"Doesn't Mr. Goku know Instant Transmission? He can just come over here directly." Vados was taken aback.

"Luo Tian told me that I should ask for your permission before going to your place. He won't let me use Instant Transmission to get there directly," Goku replied.

"Oh dear, Luo Tian is probably worried that you might suddenly come over while I'm taking a shower, right?" Vados understood.

"What would happen if I went over while you were taking a bath?" Goku didn't quite understand.

"You're going to get beaten up." Vados quietly wiped her sweat.

This Mr. Goku is great in every other way, except he's a bit silly.

He's even dumber than Broly was back then.

"I don't understand, then I'll go over there." Goku said excitedly.

"Since you've come all this way, take Mr. Vegeta back first," Vados said with a smile.

"Vegeta? Is Vegeta training at your place?" Goku immediately became agitated and shouted, "Vegeta, you've gone too far! You went to train there by yourself without inviting me!"

"Hmph, enough nonsense." Vegeta snorted.

"But why did you come back? Wouldn't it have been better for the two of us to cultivate together there?" Goku asked curiously.

"I think so too, Mr. Vegeta." Vados nodded, agreeing with Goku's assessment.

"She's about to give birth." Vegeta's expression turned serious.

"Huh?" Goku was taken aback.

Vados blinked her beautiful eyes, not quite understanding.

"Emily is about to give birth," Vegeta replied.

"It's Emily who's about to give birth... but what does that have to do with you?" Goku was even more puzzled.

"Kakarot, stop asking questions and come get me right now!" Vegeta shouted angrily, his face darkening.

"I'll go right away, I'll go right away." Goku said, and immediately used Instant Transmission Teleportation to disappear from the spot.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Goku Instant Transmission to the God of Destruction's Realm of Universe 6.

Then, Goku reached out his hand to Vegeta and said, "Let's go, Vegeta. I'll take you back first."

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

"But I still don't understand, Vegeta, why do you want to go back?" Goku asked curiously.

"Why do you still ask?" Vegeta was furious. "Emily is about to give birth. Wasn't I clear enough? How could I leave her at this time?"

"It doesn't matter since you're not the one giving birth, right?" Goku scratched his head.

"You idiot, if you go out to train at a time like this, you'll be resented for the rest of your life," Vegeta snapped, his face dark.

"What does it matter? I wasn't there when Gohan and Goten were born." Goku scratched his head again.

Vegeta: "..."

"You're not a bad person, but as a husband, you're the worst one!" Vegeta snorted.

"Is this common sense for Earthlings?" Vados looked at Vegeta thoughtfully and muttered this question.

"I will become stronger than you, Vegeta!" Goku said to Vegeta.

"It doesn't matter, just send me back quickly!" Vegeta urged.

"Then let's go!" Goku said, immediately using Instant Transmission to send Vegeta back to Earth of Universe 6.

The Universe 6, Earth.

Vegeta's house.

Nowadays, Vegeta's house is right next to Bulma's house.

Emily was taking a shower at home, humming a cheerful tune.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Goku and Vegeta appeared in the bathroom in an instant and came face to face with Emily.

"Hi, Emily, long time no see. Taking a bath?" Goku waved and greeted her.

Emily: "..."

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta immediately felt like his head was covered in green.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring the baby in his belly, Vegeta would have immediately transformed into his final form and pounded Goku into the ground.

"Oh!" Emily was startled and quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself.

Vegeta grabbed Goku and dragged him away, then punched him hard in the face.

Goku was knocked to the ground by a punch.

"What are you doing, Vegeta? That hurts!" Goku rubbed his sore face.

"Kakarot, why did you Instant Transmission to that place?" Vegeta shouted, his face dark.

"I was just looking at your wife's pregnant belly, don't be so stingy, Vegeta," Goku said, scratching his head.

Vegeta: "..."

"Boom!"

Vegeta immediately activated Super Saiyan 4 and then superimposed it with Super Saiyan God.

"I'm leaving now, goodbye." Goku immediately made his escape, disappearing from the spot in a flash.

Vegeta was so angry that he was trembling all over.

Goku flashed a few times and reappeared at Bulma's house, where he met Luo Tian, who was cultivating.

At this moment, Luo Tian floated on the small island in the center of the lake, his body radiating a dazzling light like stars.

"Luo Tian is still cultivating?" Goku asked Bulma, who was standing nearby.

"Yes, he's been training hard all this time." Bulma nodded. "Goku, is there something you need to see him about?"

"Hey? Bulma, what are those two words written on your clothes?" Goku pointed at Bulma's clothes. "Are those two words 'future'?"

"It means I'm Bulma from the future," Future Bulma replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see... That makes it much easier to tell... Hahahaha." Goku laughed heartily. "Then I won't disturb Luo Tian's cultivation any longer. I'm leaving."

"Come visit sometime!" Future Bulma waved.

"Okay." Goku nodded.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Goku used Instant Transmission, disappearing from his original spot in a flash and returning to the God of Destruction's Realm of Universe 6.

"Vados, I'm back. Let's start training," Goku greeted with a smile.

"Since you're going to cultivate, you should naturally start by honing your skills from the basics," Vados said thoughtfully. "Your foundation isn't solid enough yet. Although you grasped the form of Ultra Instinct Sign a long time ago, you haven't truly grasped Ultra Instinct all these years!"

"Huh? I have to start from the basics again?" Goku felt a headache coming on.

"Hmph, you guys keep cultivating, I won't keep you company! I'm going to take a nap." Champa yawned and came over to greet Goku.

"Wait a minute, Lord Champa." Goku suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead. "Lord Champa, you can consider the agreement between you and the Lord Zeno before you go to sleep."

"An agreement?" Champa stopped in his tracks and looked back at Goku.

"Of course it's the Martial Arts Tournament of the entire universe," Goku replied.

"I advise you to forget about this as soon as possible," Champa sighed.

"I think this is really interesting! It's like the strongest people in the entire universe are gathered together to compete, right?" Goku said with some anticipation. "The last match against Universe 7 was really interesting... Also, speaking of which, how is that guy Jiren doing now? I'm still a long way from him."

"You know that's good. First, surpass that Jiren, and then we can consider the Universal Martial Arts Tournament." Champa snorted.

"I think the best option is to have a showdown with him at the Martial Arts Tournament," Goku suddenly thought.

Champa didn't want to talk anymore.

"Hehe, why don't I go to Lord Zeno's place... and ask him if he's forgotten about the Universal Martial Arts Tournament?" Goku scratched his head and stroked his chin.

"I advise you not to get involved with Lord Zeno," Champa snorted.

"Why? I just want him to host a Martial Arts Tournament that spans the entire universe," Goku replied.

"Since you can Instant Transmission, you can go and spar with Jiren from Universe 11." Champa rolled his eyes at Goku.

"That's a great idea!" Goku's eyes lit up. "How come I didn't think of such a good idea?"

As he spoke, Goku searched around for the location of the Universe 11.

"Where is Universe 11? And where is Jiren?" Goku was a little confused.

However, just as Goku finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared on Vados's Scepter.

"Oh my, it's Merus." Vados answered the phone immediately.

"Sister Vados, it's been a long time," Merus greeted warmly.

"What do you need me for?" Vados asked.

"Is Mr. Goku with my sister?" Merus asked.

"Yes, so you're looking for Mr. Goku. Just say what you want, I've turned on speakerphone," Vados replied with a smile.

"Merus?" Goku scratched his head.

"Mr. Goku, could you come to Universe 7 and lend a hand? It would be a good experience for you too," Merus greeted with a smile.

"Universe 7? Great, great, of course no problem, but I don't know where you are," Goku said excitedly.

"At this location." A stream of light split off from the Crystal Ball of Vados's Scepter, forming an image.

The image shows the location where Merus is.

Vados pointed to the location of Merus and explained to Goku how to move there.

"I understand, I'm going right away, Merus, wait for me!" Goku said excitedly.

"Okay, Mr. Goku." Merus nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Goku left as soon as he was told, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Champa glanced in the direction where Goku had disappeared and felt speechless.

"What's this guy doing here?" Champa asked.

"Mr. Goku feels a bit overwhelmed about having to start his training from the basics again," Vados said with a smile.

"It's good that they're gone; finally, it's peaceful." Champa nodded.

"Yes, yes," Vados said with a smile.

"But what does that guy Merus want with Goku?" Champa, a little puzzled.

"Perhaps he encountered something rather tricky for Galactic Patrol," Vados guessed.

"Forget it, let's ignore him, it has nothing to do with us," Champa snorted.
