Beerus nodded.
"Vegeta, we've come to invite you to the Tournament of Power!"
"The Tournament of Power!"
"Yes, Champa has already told you about this, hasn't he?"
Vegeta nodded.
"Then would you be willing to fight for our Universe 7?"
Vegeta was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"So, are you coming back with us now, or before the competition starts?"
Vegeta glanced at them after hearing this, and then said to Cabba and the others.
I'll go back in a few days!
"Okay, Whis, shall we go back?"
"Yes, Lord Beerus!"
As he spoke, Whis tapped the ground with his right staff, and a seven-colored light appeared beneath their feet, carrying them away from the Planet Sadala.
Vegeta watched the three leave, then continued to teach them.
The next morning.
As usual, Son Goku was cultivating in the back mountain of his home.
Whis appeared on the back mountain with Beerus.
"Lord Beerus!"
Beerus nodded.
"Lord Beerus, what brings you here?"
Before Beerus could speak, Whis, who was standing to the side, spoke first.
"Goku, the Zeno- King is looking for you. He wants you to have a duel with Universe 9!"
"Universe 9? But isn't the Tournament of Power still four days away?"
"This isn't Tournament of Power; it's just a simple martial arts competition. Because the Zeno of the Future Timeline hasn't witnessed a martial arts competition between your two universes, he arranged for you to compete against Universe 9!"
"I see!"
"Um!"
Whis nodded.
"Each side will send three people to this match!"
"I see. Goten, would you like to participate in this competition?"
Son Goku asked Son Goten, who was standing to the side.
"I think it's better not to, since this isn't an official match anyway, right, Whis?"
"Um!"
Whis nodded.
"Who are the other two looking for?"
Son Goku said.
"Dad, you can ask Uncle Piccolo and Aunt Android 21!"
"That's true!"
After Son Goku finished speaking, he immediately went with Whis and the others to find Piccolo and the others.
Within the Zeno's Palace lies a competition arena and a place filled with many floating giant rocks.
This is the place where Son Goku and his friends will be competing this time.
At this moment, a large number of people were already standing on the floating rocks. These people were either Supreme Kai or God of Destruction from various universes, or they were the participants.
However, one man was special. He was neither a contestant nor Supreme Kai or God of Destruction. This man was Toppo, the candidate for God of Destruction of Universe 11.
"Has Goku not arrived yet?"
The Zeno, sitting on his throne, said somewhat impatiently.
"Let me see!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Whis arrived with Son Goku and the others.
"Father, Zeno- King!"
Whis bowed respectfully to the two of them.
The East Kaioshin also bowed to the Zeno.
The two Zeno nodded and happily addressed Son Goku.
"Goku, you've arrived!"
Son Goku nodded.
"Yes, Quan!"
"Um!"
The two Zeno nodded.
"Ah... Quan!"
Upon hearing this, all the gods stared at Son Goku in utter shock.
A mere mortal dared to call the Zeno "Ah Quan," and the Zeno even responded.
Seeing that all the gods' eyes were on Son Goku, Beerus broke out in a cold sweat and quickly covered Son Goku's mouth with his hand.
"Don't you dare speak nonsense in front of Zeno!"
Son Goku nodded.
Seeing this, Beerus finally released his grip.
"Who is this person? How dare he address the King of Zeno like that?"
A female God of Destruction dressed in God of Destruction's uniform asked.
This female God of Destruction Heles Helles, and she is the God of Destruction of the Universe 2.
"His name is Son Goku, he's a friend of the Zeno, and it was he who proposed the Tournament of Power!"
"That's what the Grand Minister said."
"What?! He's the one who made us participate in this competition, and if we lose, we'll be eliminated by Zeno!"
The gods discussed among themselves.
Just then, the Grand Minister spoke again.
"Actually, if Son Goku hadn't proposed this competition, Zeno originally planned to simply wipe out the eight universes where the human survival level was unacceptable!"
Heles: "Eight universes where humanity's survival level is inadequate!"
"Right!"
"Who is the universe that ranks last?"
Champa asked.
"The Universe 9 has the lowest human survival rate, at only 1.86!"
"Our universe is actually number one!"
"The God of Destruction of Universe 9, Sidra, exclaimed in surprise."
"And what about the second to last?"
Heles asked.
"The second to last is Universe 7, where the human survival level is only 3.18. Therefore, this competition will be between Universe 9 and Universe 7!"
"So, in that case, we should thank Son Goku!"
A God of Destruction who looks like a clown.
This God of Destruction is called the God of Destruction of Universe 11.
The reason he said that was because he was full of confidence in the power of their universe.
"Thank you, Son Goku?"
The gods looked at Belmod with puzzled expressions.
"If it weren't for Son Goku, our universe might not even have had this one chance!"
The gods all nodded in agreement.
"Grand Minister, which universes are you referring to as those where the human standard of living is inadequate?"
Champa asked.
"Universe 2, Universe 3, Universe 4, Universe 6 7, Universe 9, Universe 10, Universe 11... As for the universes I haven't mentioned, they are the ones that don't need to participate in this Tournament of Power!"
"No need to participate!"
After hearing this, Beerus and the others were filled with envy for those universes that didn't have to participate in the Tournament of Power.
"This tournament is held because the future Zeno didn't get to see the tournaments of Universe 6 and Universe 7, so the main purpose of this tournament is to let the future Zeno know about it!"
Universe 7 and Universe 9, you two can now send your respective players into the match. There are no rules for this match; just don't kill anyone and please the Zeno- King!
Upon hearing this, Beerus and the others immediately began to discuss it.
"So, Goku, who are you planning to go in for the first match?"
"I'll take the first one!"
Son Goku laughed.
"Good!"
Beerus nodded.
Upon seeing this, Son Goku immediately jumped onto the competition platform.
After Son Goku went on stage, a werewolf with blue fur all over his body and an extremely tall stature jumped off the stage.
His name is Bergamo, and he is a warrior from Universe 9.
"Hello, my name is Son Goku!"
Son Goku politely greeted Bergamo.
Bergamo snorted coldly.
"My name is Bergamo!"
"Goku, if you have no other questions, please begin the match. The two Zeno- Kings have been eagerly anticipating this battle!"
"Good!"
As Son Goku spoke, he made a fighting stance with both hands.
