Beerus was still immersed in a dreamworld of delicious food.
Suddenly!
Boom-!
Whis's voice reverberated through the space like the Big Bang!
"Who?!!!"
Beerus had only just opened his eyes and still had no idea what had happened.
Then!
The hourglass bombs floating all around him exploded!
Boom-!
Boom-!
"Aaaah!!!"
"Aaaah!!!"
Beerus's screams mingled with the earth-shattering explosions.
Only after half an hour did the explosions in the space slowly subside.
Beerus lay on the ground, looking as though he had nothing left to live for.
He didn't even need to think to know that Whis was behind this!
"Whis, how long was I asleep this time?"
"One month."
"One month?"
Beerus's eyes snapped open. By his usual standards, even sleeping for several hundred or a thousand years was a short nap.
Yet he had only slept for a month, and Whis had already woken him up?!
Beerus slowly climbed to his feet, his eyes filled with boundless fury as a dense, purple aura of destruction rose from his body:
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or you'll be sorry!"
"Oh ho ho~"
Whis wasn't afraid of Beerus in the slightest. He laughed. "You're the one who asked me to remind you. You can't blame me for that, can you?"
"?"
Beerus froze, unable to understand what Whis meant.
"Lord Beerus, your memory seems rather poor. Have you forgotten what you said before you went to sleep?"
"What I said before I went to sleep?"
Beerus cupped his chin and began recalling what had happened.
Glen had been going out into the universe to train, so Beerus no longer needed to teach the little fellow and finally had time for a good sleep.
Afterward, Whis had taken Glen to Planet Yardrat to learn Instant Transmission, and Beerus had gone to sleep after Whis returned.
Wait!
When Whis returned, Beerus had chatted with him for a while.
He had also told Whis to remember to wake him if Glen ran into serious trouble.
Could it be?!!!
Boom-!
The fury in Beerus's heart erupted like a volcano, and the aura of destruction gathering around him finally burst forth!
The aura of destruction spread outward like a tidal wave, destroying everything in its path!
Bang!
The sleeping space dissolved into specks of starlight in an instant, and the entire God of Destruction's palace followed suit.
It wasn't over yet!
The pure power of the strongest God of Destruction seeped into space itself. Space crumbled inch by inch, and the entire God of Destruction Realm teetered on the brink of collapse!
"Who was it?!!!"
"Who dared lay a hand on my candidate?!!!"
Boom-!!
Under the impact of Beerus's power, the God of Destruction Realm could no longer hold on and disintegrated completely!
Whis hovered in the pitch-black space, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly at Beerus's actions.
He said helplessly, "Not that remark. I never said Glen had run into serious trouble!"
"Huh?"
Beerus's volcanic fury was abruptly stopped short.
He looked around at the pitch-black surroundings. At some point, he had destroyed his own home.
"You... then why didn't you say so sooner?" Beerus looked as though he had eaten shit.
If it wasn't that remark, which one was it?
While Beerus pondered, Whis waved his staff and restored the God of Destruction Realm that Beerus had destroyed.
Just then.
"I remember!"
Beerus suddenly grew excited.
He had also asked Whis whether the Saiyan race really had some extraordinary origins.
Whis had answered that he seemed to remember a Saiyan who had once challenged Lord Zeno!
"Hiss!"
Beerus sucked in a sharp breath. He finally remembered everything and stammered, "I... I said, i-if you remembered everything, you should let me know. Could you have..."
Whis covered his face briefly. It seemed Beerus really did remember now. He cleared his throat:
"I haven't remembered everything, but I visited Zeno's Palace and asked my father in person."
"What?"
Beerus's mouth fell wide open. He hadn't expected Whis to seek out the Grand Priest to ask about this.
That was the Grand Priest!
If Whis's strength was unknown, then the power of the Grand Priest, the father of all the Angels, was even more mysterious!
Beerus's breathing quickened. "The Grand Priest has lived longer than you, Whis. He must know everything. What did he say?"
"..."
Isn't it perfectly normal for my father to have lived longer than me? Does that really need mentioning? Whis was utterly speechless.
"I remembered correctly. A Saiyan did once challenge Lord Zeno. That man was the ancestor of all Saiyans. His name was Odis..."
Whis began recounting Odis's legendary story to Beerus.
Half an hour later, Beerus finally finished hearing the whole story.
Boom-!
Towering waves surged through his heart.
A Saiyan had actually defeated Universe 7's God of Destruction in an extremely berserk state, then sought out the Grand Priest fifty years later?
Through a strange twist of fate, that fellow had even ended up challenging Lord Zeno?
My heavens!
Beerus clutched his head. Am I really awake? How else could I be hearing such a terrifying story!
Beerus could hardly be blamed for losing his composure. After all, that was the strongest being in Zeno's Universe!
The ancestor of the Saiyans had some nerve, daring to challenge Lord Zeno!
"Lord Beerus, my father also gave an assessment of little Glen," Whis suddenly spoke again.
"??"
Beerus instantly snapped out of his shock and hurriedly asked, "What was the Grand Priest's assessment??"
"My father said Glen's origins were indeed somewhat mysterious, but there was nothing wrong with him. He told us to go ahead and train him without worry."
Whis also breathed a sigh of relief as he said this.
Glen really was far too mysterious!
When Whis had encountered Glen, Glen had already been on the verge of death, yet his dimensional level had suddenly shot up from that of a mortal to Peak King Kai!
Was that something an ordinary person could do?!
"That's good, that's good!"
Beerus patted his chest as well.
Whis had already told him about Glen's mysteries, but Glen was the disciple he had taken in. The little fellow had such a good personality, and his talent was so great.
Beerus truly didn't want to lose a disciple like that over a question of origins!
"What happened after that? What else did the Grand Priest say?" Beerus's voice had relaxed considerably, but his expression grew even more curious.
"My father also said..."
Whis suddenly paused, then said each word distinctly, "He said Glen had the potential to surpass!"
The potential to surpass?
Boom-!
Thunder exploded. Beerus was once again utterly stunned. He rushed up to Whis and gripped both his shoulders tightly:
"What did the Grand Priest mean? He said Glen had the potential to surpass, but who could Glen surpass?"
Judging by Glen's current talent, he would certainly surpass Beerus, a God of Destruction.
As for surpassing Whis, that was less certain. After all, Whis's talent ranked among the top two of the twelve Angels.
Of course, surpassing Whis wasn't impossible either. Could the Grand Priest have meant that Glen had the potential to surpass Whis?
"I don't know what my father meant either. After saying that, he went back inside Zeno's Palace!"
After saying this, Whis fell silent as well.
Did Father mean surpassing me, or surpassing Father himself? Or surpassing...
Whis hurriedly shook his head. He didn't dare even consider the last possibility.
Neither spoke again, and the sleeping space was frighteningly quiet.
Half an hour passed.
"Oh, right!"
Beerus shook his head, clearing away all the fantasies in it, then asked again:
"Didn't little Glen say he was going out to find all sorts of powerful opponents to fight? How is he doing now?"
"..."
The corner of Whis's mouth twitched. He shook his head. "I don't know either."
His eldest sister had taken him away to spar for a month, and he had only just returned to Universe 7 himself. Who knew how Glen was doing now?
"How can you not know? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?" Beerus grew a little anxious.
This was the disciple he had found "with great difficulty." What if he died?
"I don't know means I don't know."
Whis rolled his eyes at him. How could he not guess what Beerus was thinking?
That boy had learned Instant Transmission. How could he possibly die?
"All right!"
Whis waved the staff in his hand, and a projection immediately appeared in the air. "Why don't we look now? Then we'll know what Glen experienced over the past month."
The projection above showed exactly what Glen had experienced that month. The instant it began playing.
"Who's that beanpole wearing Supreme Kai clothes? Why is he following Glen?" Beerus's eyes widened.
