Luo Tian and Broly fought Champa in the God of Destruction’s Realm, with Luo Tian repeatedly healing Broly and using the Scepter’s Angelic Power to restrain and attack Champa. Luo Tian unlocked Ultra Instinct Sign and gained the upper hand, while Champa realized Luo Tian had been using Broly’s repeated recoveries to increase his strength.

Luo Tian and Broly trained on Universe 6 while Vados explained Angelic Power levels and the Grand Minister prepared a God of Destruction election to test them.

• Luo Tian arranged for Broly to place the Sunflower Manual beside Champa’s bed, then discussed Supreme Kai candidates with Vados and decided to postpone choosing one.
• Vados estimated Angelic Power levels for the Gods of Destruction, and Luo Tian promised to train Broly into the strongest God of Destruction while Broly committed himself to improving.
• After three months of training, Vados measured Broly’s strength at 20 and Luo Tian’s Angelic Power purity at 30; Champa had left after sleeping and having nightmares.
• The Grand Minister told Vados to prepare a Universe 18 God of Destruction election, with contenders from several universes competing to test Luo Tian and Broly.
• The Grand Minister questioned Merus about Majin Buu’s training, learned Buu had slept continuously, and explained that angelic cultivation required purifying Angelic Power.

The Grand Minister announced a three-day tournament to choose Universe 18’s new God of Destruction, drawing candidates from across the universes. Whis recruited Frieza for Universe 7, while Universe 10 chose Zamasu, and Belmod prepared Universe 11 to enter; the chapter ended before the competitors were named or the tournament began.

• The Grand Minister ordered the universes to hold a God of Destruction selection for restored Universe 18 and offer the winner the Super Dragon Balls.
• Whis tried to recruit Lord Supreme Kai, but Lord Supreme Kai mistook him for one of Merus’s illusions, so Whis chose Frieza as Universe 7’s candidate instead.

• Rumsshi and Kusu asked Gowasu to find a candidate, and Zamasu volunteered after learning what a God of Destruction did.
• Rumsshi tested Zamasu, easily defeated him, and approved him to represent Universe 10 in the selection.
• Belmod decided Universe 11 would participate and said he would send its strongest contender.

Belmod asked Jiren and Toppo to consider entering Universe 18’s God of Destruction selection, while Mule, Champa, and other universes prepared their own contestants. Three days later, Luo Tian and Broly met Champa’s chosen fighter, Hit, and Luo Tian handed Champa the Sunflower Manual, whose first page stunned him.

• Marcarita contacted Jiren about the selection, but Jiren firmly refused to become Universe 18’s God of Destruction.
• Belmod sent Toppo to represent Universe 11, and Dyspo and the other Pride Troopers encouraged their captain to compete.
• Mule decided Universe 3 would participate and chose Magikayo, while planning to use the selection to investigate Merus and seek the Super Dragon Balls to revive his son.
• Vados told Champa about the selection and its Super Dragon Ball reward, so Champa chose Hit to compete for Universe 6 in hopes of finding a Gourmet Star.
• Three days later, Champa returned with Hit as Luo Tian and Broly prepared to travel to Universe 18 for the selection.
• Luo Tian gave Champa the Sunflower Manual, and Champa discovered its first page required castration before he could read the next one.

Luo Tian, Broly, Champa, and Hit headed to Universe 18 for a God of Destruction selection competition, while Linglong recovered her angelic form briefly and learned that Luo Tian had cultivated Angelic Power she did not remember leaving in Universe 7. The Grand Minister prepared to investigate Luo Tian’s power as contestants began arriving, and Linglong disappeared before she could meet him.

• Luo Tian gave Champa the Sunflower Manual, while Broly privately noticed that Hit’s head resembled his own and Luo Tian warned him not to mention it to Hit.
• Vados carried Luo Tian and Broly toward Universe 18, leaving Champa to fly after them with Hit.
• Linglong told the Grand Minister that she had not left Angelic Power in Universe 7, then agreed to let him arrange matters before her unstable form vanished.
• The Grand Minister waited by the arena as Merus arrived with Majin Buu, who threatened to turn him into chocolate before Merus struck and corrected him.
• The Grand Minister advised Merus to train Majin Buu with measured rewards, and Majin Buu eagerly ate the chocolate Merus produced.
• Campari, Mosco, and contestant Magikayo arrived and took seats in the stands, where Mule wondered why Merus had changed his Apprentice God of Destruction.

The Grand Minister's children and the Gods of Destruction gathered for the selection competition, while Mule held back from confronting Merus after learning he was the Grand Minister's son. As the contestants waited for the remaining universes, Merus revealed that Luo Tian's Angelic Power purity had risen to 30, astonishing Kusu and Whis.

• Campari told Mule that Merus was the Grand Minister's son, so Mule decided to wait until after the competition to speak with him.
• Marcarita, Belmod, and Toppo arrived, and Belmod confidently predicted that Toppo would win the competition.
• Cognac and Quitela arrived without a contestant, while Mule encouraged Magikayo and mentioned that Luke had disappeared.

• Rumsshi and Belmod discussed the absent Universe 2 and Universe 9, while the gathered Gods of Destruction waited for the tournament to begin.
• Merus told Kusu and Whis that Luo Tian's Angelic Power purity had increased from 10 to 30, leaving Kusu stunned.

Frieza learned that Luo Tian’s Battle Power was impossibly high, then Majin Buu turned Frieza into chocolate before Merus forced him to change him back. Luo Tian and the others reached the restored Universe 18, where Broly was introduced as its prospective God of Destruction, leaving the other universes puzzled by Universe 6’s oversized delegation.

• Frieza asked Whis and Merus about Luo Tian, and Whis told him Luo Tian had roughly thirty zeros after 10 in Battle Power.
• Merus identified Broly as the Legendary Super Saiyan, while Majin Buu claimed he had already defeated Broly and turned Frieza into chocolate after Frieza refused to serve him.
• Merus ordered Majin Buu to restore Frieza, and Frieza recognized Majin Buu and then spotted Champa in the sky.
• Luo Tian, Vados, Broly, Champa, and Hit arrived at the restored Universe 18, where Broly repeatedly kowtowed to the Grand Minister before copying Champa’s kneeling salute.
• The Grand Minister welcomed Luo Tian and directed the group to the spectator stands, while the other universes wondered why Universe 6 had brought so many people.

The gods reacted with surprise to Luo Tian’s Angelic Power as the eight-contestant selection tournament began. Frieza mistook the tiny Damon for an insignificant insect and stepped on him, while Damon endured it to keep his identity hidden.

• Marcarita, Campari, Kusu, and Cognac recognized Angelic Power in Luo Tian, and Zamasu grew resentful after learning Luo Tian had reached an Angel’s level.
• Luo Tian taunted Frieza for being the weakest contestant, and Broly nearly confronted him before the Grand Minister announced the tournament.
• The Grand Minister called the contestants to the arena, and Broly, Hit, Frieza, and the others gathered there while Majin Buu needed Merus’s prompting to join them.
• Broly and Hit noticed that only seven contestants seemed present, until Frieza’s Scouter detected tiny Damon, whose Battle Power signal read 30,000.
• Frieza stepped on Damon without realizing he was a contestant, and Damon silently endured it to avoid revealing himself.

The Universe 18 God of Destruction Selection Tournament began, and Damon was eliminated almost immediately, prompting Quitela to leave in embarrassment. On the arena, Broly overwhelmed Frieza while Hit struck Toppo with a punch he could not see, and Luo Tian claimed he had seen through Hit’s technique.

• The Grand Minister explained the tournament rules, then started the match after answering questions from Toppo, Magikayo, and Zamasu.
• Broly and Majin Buu agreed to team up, while Zamasu regretted drawing attention to Universe 7’s contestants.
• Frieza kicked Damon out of the arena and eliminated him with a beam when Damon tried to fly back in.
• Quitela left with Cognac and Damon after other Gods of Destruction mocked Damon’s quick elimination.
• Broly charged Frieza, transformed Frieza into his final form, then grabbed him and battered him across the arena.
• Majin Buu’s attack was countered by Zamasu and had little effect on Magikayo, while Hit punched Toppo before he could see the strike; Luo Tian said he had seen through Hit’s trick.

Luo Tian identified Hit’s time-stopping technique while the tournament battles continued, and Broly eliminated Frieza after Frieza’s collision knocked Magikayo off the arena. Luo Tian then hinted that Universe 7 had other strong candidates and told Frieza that dying could help him surpass Broly, leaving Frieza trembling with rage.

• Luo Tian identified Hit’s technique as time, and Merus realized Hit briefly stopped time for about 0.1 seconds during his attacks on Toppo.
• Luo Tian refused Whis’s offer to return to Universe 7, saying Vados had promised to marry him when he became a true angel.
• Zamasu pierced Majin Buu, but Majin Buu regenerated, knocked Zamasu down, and beat him while Magikayo chose not to intervene.
• Broly beat Frieza and kicked him toward the arena’s edge; Frieza struck Magikayo and knocked him out before Broly forced Frieza to release his grip and fall.
• Luo Tian told Whis and Merus that Universe 7 had other strong candidates, then advised Frieza that dying could help him surpass Broly, enraging Frieza.

Luo Tian recommended Vegeta as Merus’s Apprentice God of Destruction, but Merus remained committed to Majin Buu. In the arena, Buu recovered after Zamasu severed his head and terrified him by revealing he had eaten two Supreme Kais, while the Grand Minister traveled to a white planet and asked Linglong about Luo Tian’s Angelic Power.

• Luo Tian explained Frieza’s Golden Mode and recommended Vegeta to Merus, who refused to abandon Majin Buu; Whis checked Vegeta’s information and dismissed him as an unsuitable candidate.
• Vegeta learned that Frieza had been taken away and vowed to surpass Broly, while Mule left the arena with Campari and Magikayo before Mosco chose to remain nearby.
• Zamasu cut off Majin Buu’s head, but Buu reattached it backward, turned it around, and frightened Zamasu by saying he had eaten two Supreme Kais.
• Merus worried that the Grand Minister might be angry about Buu’s past, but Vados reassured him that the matter was trivial; Luo Tian then noticed the Grand Minister had disappeared.
• The Grand Minister descended onto a flawless white planet and asked Linglong whether she had sensed Luo Tian’s Angelic Power.

Linglong and the Grand Minister discussed how Luo Tian’s Angelic Power could aid her recovery, while Majin Buu and Broly played with Zamasu before joining forces against Toppo. Toppo defeated Majin Buu, accidentally sent Zamasu out of the arena, and prepared to fight Broly as Kusu privately asked Luo Tian whether he still planned to remain in Universe 6.

• Linglong told the Grand Minister that Luo Tian’s Angelic Power could help stabilize her body, and the Grand Minister decided to make him an Apprentice Angel of the Universe.

• Kusu asked Luo Tian whether he still intended to remain in Universe 6, and Luo Tian said he preferred girls with ponytails.

After leaving the Void Realm with Rumsshi and Zamasu, Kusu was absent as the tournament continued, with Broly transforming and overpowering Toppo. Broly eliminated Toppo, leaving only Universe 6 and Universe 7 in the stands and Hit still in the arena.

• The Grand Minister appointed Luo Tian as Universe 18’s Apprentice Angel and instructed him to train on the White Planet until his Angelic Power reached the level needed to become a true Angel.
• Luo Tian agreed to find a suitable human Supreme Kai to assist them, while the Grand Minister explained that Broly could become a true God of Destruction only after Luo Tian became a true Angel.
• Whis and Vados took Frieza and Champa away, and the Grand Minister led a nervous Merus aside behind a barrier.

The Grand Minister tasked Luo Tian and Merus with training human candidates to become Supreme Kais and set a thirty-year deadline, with the winning candidate earning the Silver Staff. After Luo Tian warned that Zamasu was unfit to become a Supreme Kai, the Grand Minister praised his judgment and welcomed him to the Angel Clan.

• Luo Tian proposed a thirty-year training period, and the Grand Minister approved it while instructing both candidates to choose from among humans rather than Kais.
• The Grand Minister asked Luo Tian about Zamasu, and Luo Tian judged him unstable, evil, and unsuitable to become a qualified Supreme Kai.
• The Grand Minister praised Luo Tian's answer, predicted he would become a true Angel within twenty years, and welcomed him to the Angel Clan before leaving for the Super Dragon Balls.

The Grand Minister summoned the Dragon God and invited Luo Tian to make a wish, which Luo Tian used to exchange the Earths of Universe 6 and Universe 7 for Vados. After the Dragon God departed, the Grand Minister assigned Luo Tian and Merus to find Supreme Kais for Universe 18, leaving Luo Tian to wonder whether Merus might someday take over the universe.

• The Grand Minister summoned the Dragon God, and Majin Buu tried to turn him into chocolate, but his attack had no effect.

• The Grand Minister told Luo Tian and Merus to find suitable Supreme Kais for Universe 18, prompting Luo Tian to suspect that Merus might eventually manage the universe.
• Luo Tian asked Merus whether he expected to take over Universe 18, and Merus said he had not considered managing a universe; Luo Tian offered to hand it over if he later lost interest.

Luo Tian proposed Kakarot as a future Supreme Kai, but Merus doubted the three-year-old Saiyan could become one. In the Void Realm, the Grand Minister warned Mosco to gather evidence before seeking revenge for his son, and Mule contacted Sidra for help and offered him a robot.

• Luo Tian showed Merus a projection of three-year-old Kakarot fighting a wolf on Earth of Universe 6 and urged Merus to train him as a Supreme Kai.
• Merus declined to choose Kakarot, while the two learned that Old Man Gohan had renamed him Goku after he lost his memory.
• The Grand Minister confronted Mosco in the Void Realm, allowed him to pursue revenge if he confirmed Broly or Majin Buu had killed his son, and demanded evidence if the matter reached him.
• The Grand Minister warned Mosco not to harm unrelated people and said he had high hopes for Luo Tian becoming a true Angel.
• Mule contacted Sidra to discuss Mosco's search for evidence and offered him a customized female robot; Sidra arrived with Roh to see it.

Sidra visited Universe 18 with Mule, who sought help finding evidence about his son Merus’s death, and Sidra invited Broly and Majin Buu to go have fun. Luo Tian let Broly go after giving him his watch, while Sidra’s true intentions remained unclear.

• Mule gave Sidra a lifelike robot named Seven, then asked him to help prove who had killed his son Merus; Sidra said they needed evidence and agreed to investigate Broly.

• Luo Tian called Broly aside, decided he should train independently, and handed him his watch.
