Whis, Prophecy Fish

In an incredibly distant space lay an inverted pyramid-shaped world, every corner filled with Destruction Aura.

A refined-looking man stood by a lake. He was tall, with light blue skin and long, white curly hair.

An Angel Halo floated around his neck, making him look radiant and holy!

A cup hovered beside him, and inside it swam a loach-like fish.

One loach and one Angel, both looking toward the palace in the distance.

Leaning against the edge of the cup, Prophecy Fish said speechlessly, "Lord Beerus went back to sleep after destroying barely any planets. What a lazy bum!"

As a member of the God of Destruction Realm, Prophecy Fish naturally knew how powerful Beerus was.

Back then, because of King of All's Hide and Seek Incident, the Gods of Destruction from all twelve universes had fought once.

Calling it a battle would be inaccurate. Beerus had been ganged up on by the other eleven Gods of Destruction, yet he had beaten every single one of them by himself.

In the end, aside from Beerus's biological brother Champa, the only one who had managed to leave with any dignity was that Mouse, Quitela.

That battle was also what earned Beerus the title of Strongest God of Destruction.

What a pity.

Such a powerful God of Destruction had allowed his universe to rank second from last because of his lazy personality!

It was so embarrassing that Prophecy Fish could barely show its face!

"Oh ho ho~"

Holding a long Staff in his right hand, Whis smiled. "If Lord Beerus hears you calling him a lazy bum, you're finished."

The moment he laughed, his holy Angel image instantly shattered, making him seem comical instead.

"I'm not afraid. Lord Beerus is asleep, so he can't hear me."

"How do you know I won't tell Lord Beerus once he wakes up?"

"Whis, you..."

Prophecy Fish's eyes widened as it nervously said, "You wouldn't really tell Lord Beerus, would you?!"

Whis covered his mouth and snickered. "That depends on whether you know how to behave."

"..."

Prophecy Fish's face darkened.

This master and servant pair were truly something else. One loved sleeping in, while the other loved delicious food!

To put it less politely, they were simply gluttonous and lazy!

And in truth, the Angel before it was even more terrifying.

Beerus might have been the Strongest God of Destruction, but he could not even withstand a casual move from Whis.

That was because Whis had taught Beerus everything he knew. Whis's true identity was actually Beerus's Master.

As for Whis's true strength, no one knew it at all!

"Fine, I'll give you all the food I've been saving for ages, but you can't tell Lord Beerus when the time comes!"

Prophecy Fish looked utterly pained.

Whis licked his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation. He would get to eat something delicious again.

Suddenly!

A weak voice called out, "Wh... Whis!"

Whis was an Angel of a universe. Given his realm, he naturally heard someone calling his name, but he paid no attention.

He and Beerus had left behind many legends in Universe 7, so it was perfectly normal for someone to call his name.

As usual, he automatically ignored such voices.

But the next second.

"Mr. Whis... Mr. Whis, I have the most delicious food in the entire universe here. Would you like to try it?"

Those words made Whis's eyes instantly blaze with excitement!

"Whis, what's wrong?"

Prophecy Fish pulled out the food it had been saving for ages from Dimensional Space, only to suddenly notice that something was off with Whis.

Why did Whis look so excited?

No!

Whenever this guy wore that expression, he must have found something delicious!

Prophecy Fish immediately realized what was happening. Just as it was about to speak, Whis beside it turned into a Seven-colored Stream of Light and shot into the sky.

At the same time, he left behind a sentence:

"My going out cancels out the matter of you insulting Lord Beerus just now. When the time comes, neither of us will tell Lord Beerus."

"Damn it, you're going off to eat something delicious without taking me with you!"

Prophecy Fish cursed at the sky.

But the moment it finished cursing, it suddenly fell asleep for no apparent reason.

If Whis had not left, he would have been greatly surprised, because this was the state Prophecy Fish entered when it began making a prophecy.

Meanwhile.

Gran lay on the ground. Two minutes had passed since his first call, yet Whis still had not come.

"Could... could Whis really not have heard me?"

Gran coughed up another mouthful of blood.

According to what was described in the anime, Whis normally needed twenty-six minutes to take Beerus from the God of Destruction Realm to North Kai Planet.

But at Beerus's strong insistence, Whis had only taken three minutes to travel from the God of Destruction Realm to North Kai Planet.

Likewise!

Given Whis's desire for delicious food, it should not take him more than three minutes to get here either!

As time passed, another ten minutes went by, and Gran's aura grew weaker and weaker.

"D... Damn it!"

"Am I... am I going to die?"

"I'm... I'm so unwilling to accept this. I haven't even punched Beerus or kicked King—"

Suddenly!

"Punch Lord Beerus? Kick who?"

A voice entered Gran's ears, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Was it him?

Gran lay on the ground. He wanted to turn his head, but he had long since lost the ability to move.

Soon, a figure walked over and entered his field of vision.

Light blue skin, white hair, and a Staff in hand...

An Angel!!!

Looking at his face again, it really was Whis!

Whis had really heard him and personally come here!!

At that moment, Gran forgot all about the pain in his body, and his heart filled with wild joy.

Whis looked down at the child on the ground and could not help frowning.

A Saiyan?

That should not be possible. Hadn't the Saiyan race been destroyed by Frieza along with Planet Vegeta? How was there still a Saiyan alive?

Could Frieza have defied Lord Beerus's order?

Whis shook his head again.

Whether Frieza had defied Lord Beerus's order or not had nothing to do with him.

He was an Angel. His duty was to serve and teach the God of Destruction. He needed to remain neutral and could not participate in any battles within the universe.

So even if Whis knew that Frieza had defied Beerus's order, he would not react in any way.

However!

"You said you were going to punch Lord Beerus and kick who again?"

A teasing glint flashed through Whis's eyes.

If nothing unexpected had happened, this little fellow had meant that he would punch Beerus and kick King of All.

Good grief, how did a little nobody like him dare say something like that!

"..."

Gran really wanted to ask whether Whis could save him first, but he truly had no strength left to speak.

"Oh my~ I forgot that you're about to die."

Although Whis said that, he had no intention of treating Gran.

?

Gran panicked inwardly.

That should not be right. Whis was already here. Given how much he liked food, why was he not saving him?

"I don't know how a little fellow like you survived Frieza, nor do I know how you found out that I enjoy delicious food."

Holding his Staff, Whis seemed to have guessed Gran's thoughts as he looked down at him and said:

"You lured me here because you wanted me to save you, didn't you? But you had the wrong idea."

Why would he think an Angel would inexplicably save someone he did not know just for some food?

Angels were neutral. They only served Gods of Destruction and would not easily interfere with anything inside the universe.

Save an unfamiliar child?

Don't be ridiculous!

It would be different if it were someone he knew, but he did not know the child on the ground. Besides, the other party was a Saiyan, a race Beerus disliked.

Whis did like delicious food, which was why he had appeared here.

But he absolutely would not save Gran, a Saiyan, just for food.

Gran did not know what Whis was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely have said, You weren't like this in Dragon Ball Super!

Bulma only had to say there was delicious food on Earth, and you happily ran over to help her with this and that.

Why was it that when I said I had delicious food, you would not even save me?

"..."

Hearing Whis's words, Gran's mood instantly shifted from excitement to despair.

He had thought Whis would save him after coming here. Who would have expected this outcome!

Could it be that heaven truly wanted him dead?

Gran's aura suddenly weakened to its limit. He slowly closed his eyes. This was the prelude to death.

Whis looked down at him. This little fellow was quite clever. Despite being injured to such an extent, he had actually thought of luring Whis over.

What a pity!

Angels could not casually interfere in the affairs of the universe. He could not save this little fellow.

Whis was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly!

A powerful aura erupted from Gran's body, accompanied by fluctuations of Dimension.

Oh? Something seemed off about this little fellow!

Whis looked down at Gran, and his expression instantly grew serious.
