Beerus: You're Nowhere Near Me

"You guess."

Gran's eyes darted around.

Whis said meaningfully, "I'd guess that was your full strength."

Gran: "..."

Was this Angel's gaze really that sharp? He could see through that?

In fact, that really was all the strength he currently had, but... the Saiyan Clan could transform!

Gran had no idea how far the "S" cells in his body had developed.

On top of that, he had spent the past six months focused on building his strength and fighting giant beasts, so he had never tried transforming.

If he could transform, entering Super Saiyan 1 would boost his power fiftyfold!

It looked like he needed to find an opportunity to try transforming.

"Hehe, Lord Beerus!"

Gran ignored Whis and stood up from the ground, rubbing his little hands together with an utterly sleazy look on his face.

"What?"

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"No."

"You..."

Gran clenched his tiny fists. Why didn't this Skinny Ribs play by the rules? He really wanted to punch him!

Seeing Gran get stumped, Beerus's lips could not help curving upward. Serves you right for annoying me every day!

Whis had already reclined on the beach chair again. The antics between these two living treasures put him in a wonderful mood.

"Lord Beerus, what's my Battle Power now? And how fast is my training progress? Compared to you, how big is the gap?"

Gran knitted his little brows and blurted out all the questions in his heart at once.

He truly had no idea how much strength he possessed now, or what his Battle Power would be if measured numerically.

However, judging from the multiplier on his Gravity Clothing, he could already withstand four thousand times normal gravity.

According to the original plot, Goku had only trained under one hundred times gravity while traveling from Earth to Planet Namek.

Comparing four thousand times gravity to one hundred times gravity, it was obvious that his current power had reached an astonishing level.

He had achieved such results after only half a year of training. Gran was naturally thrilled. Even the later Goku and Vegeta probably had not trained as fast as he did!

But what if he compared himself to the Strongest God of Destruction?

Gran truly wanted to know the gap between himself and the Strongest God of Destruction.

"If measured by the Battle Power index used in the universe, your strength has reached one billion." Whis, lounging in the beach chair, finally spoke.

"How much?"

Gran thought he had heard wrong and even dug at his little ear.

"You reached one billion Battle Power after only half a year of training. Aren't you happy?" Beerus crossed his arms and turned his head aside.

"What?!"

Gran finally heard him clearly. His emotions instantly surged, and his entire little face turned red.

"One billion Battle Power! Oh my god, I have one billion Battle Power!!"

Gran jumped around in excitement.

At that moment, he finally had a rough idea of his own strength.

By the standards of his Previous Life, Fat Buu in Dragon Ball Z had roughly 50 Billion Battle Power. (Xiao Bai's rough guess; don't blame me if it's inaccurate.)

Back then, Goku had needed to enter the Super Three state and increase his power four hundredfold just to gain the strength to kill Fat Buu.

In other words, Goku in the Super Three state had at least surpassed 50 Billion Battle Power.

Taking 50 Billion Battle Power as Goku's strength and dividing it by four hundred gave one hundred and twenty-five million.

That meant Goku during the Majin Buu Arc had only around one hundred and twenty-five million Battle Power in his normal state.

Didn't that mean he now possessed power far beyond Goku's during the Majin Buu Arc?

Gran counted on his little fingers, growing more excited the longer he counted.

"Lord Beerus, my talent seems freaking amazing!" Gran exclaimed as he jumped onto Beerus's back.

"You're so annoying. Can you get off me?"

"No, Lord Beerus. Hurry up and tell me, how's my training speed? And compared to you, how far behind am I?"

"Can I not tell you?"

"Hurry up, or I'll make Stinky Tofu for you later!"

Beerus's body shuddered when he heard the words "Stinky Tofu" again.

What kind of delicacy had the word "stinky" in its name? Given how rotten this brat was, he definitely had no good intentions!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Beerus grabbed the little fellow and lifted him in front of himself, his expression helpless.

Three seconds later, he gathered his emotions again. "Your training speed is quite good, but compared to me, you're nowhere near close!"

Beerus said that without blushing in the slightest.

In his words, I'm the strongest God of Destruction! If I admitted I was inferior to this little brat, where would my dignity go?

Whis rolled his eyes. He had known Beerus would answer like that.

"Huh?"

Gran's eyes widened. He had reached one billion Battle Power in half a year, yet that speed was still nowhere near enough?

He did not quite believe it. Looking toward the beach chair nearby, he asked in a childish voice, "Whis, is what Lord Beerus said true?"

"..."

Whis's lips twitched. Why was he asking him now?

What was he supposed to say?

Should he tell the truth or lie? But asking an Angel to lie was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Whis was just about to shake his head and tell the truth.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

Beerus, standing nearby, started coughing desperately.

Gran froze, then frowned. "Lord Beerus, what's wrong?"

Beerus coughed twice more, then said nonchalantly, "Nothing. I just choked on some water."

"A God of Destruction can choke on water?"

"Mind your own business!"

"..."

Gran's lips twitched. He stopped bothering with this idiot Beerus. Anyone who could choke on their own saliva was an idiot, wasn't he?

He continued, "Whis, Lord Beerus wouldn't lie to me, would he?"

Whis really wanted to tell the truth, but Beerus kept signaling frantically. In the end, Whis sighed. "Do you think Lord Beerus would lie to you?"

He had given an ambiguous answer. That did not count as lying, right?

"Him?"

Gran tilted his head and glanced at this idiot God of Destruction. His spirits immediately sank.

"True. Lord Beerus might be a little bad, but he's never lied to me."

"Sure enough, compared to Lord Beerus, I'm still far too weak!"

"Lord Beerus, you truly deserve to be called the strongest God of Destruction!"

That last sentence was directed at Beerus. Gran spoke with utmost sincerity and even gave him a thumbs-up.

Beerus only felt his cheeks grow slightly warm. Whis had asked whether he would lie to Gran, but the truth was that he was lying to him!

"I'm going to cook!"

Gran sighed and left.

Whis rose from the beach chair, watched Gran's little retreating figure, and smiled. "Lord Beerus, you're quite wicked. You even lied to a child!"

"How am I wicked? I'm doing this for his own good!"

Beerus clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This little fellow's talent is far too outrageous. If I don't knock him down a peg, he might really get carried away!"

"Oh ho ho~~ Such high-sounding words could only come from you, Lord Beerus."

"You're laughing at me? Then why did you say something so ambiguous back then?"

"...Lord Beerus, I've noticed that your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Have you already forgotten how you were signaling me?"

"I was just choking on water. What else did you think I was doing?"

Looking at Beerus's shameless expression, Whis could only spit out two words: "You win!"
