"Have you forgotten? This is the East Supreme Kai!"
"He's Supreme Kai Shin?"
"Yes!"
Whis said a little guiltily, "Ever since the Grand Supreme Kai and the others died, the East Supreme Kai has been one of only two Supreme Kais left in our Universe 7!"
"..."
Beerus's expression instantly darkened. Majin Buu's invasion of the Supreme Kai Realm was absolutely his greatest disgrace!!
"It's all your fault, Whis! If you hadn't sneaked off to find something tasty, would that big fat fellow and the other three Supreme Kais have died?" Beerus said through gritted teeth.
Just bringing it up made him angry.
Universe 7 had five Supreme Kais managing affairs throughout the universe. As long as one Supreme Kai remained alive, Beerus wouldn't die either.
Of course, there was also the most important safeguard: an Elder Supreme Kai whom he had sealed away.
That was why Beerus had dared to sleep without a worry. Who could have expected that he would wake up to find the sky had fallen!
Of the five Supreme Kais out there, only one had remained in the end!!
"Lord Beerus, you have the nerve to blame me?"
Whis had felt a little guilty at first, but hearing Beerus say that displeased him, and he sneered:
"If someone wasn't always so fond of sleeping in, would I have gone out to find something tasty?"
"And another thing!"
"Our Universe 7 ranks second from the bottom in average mortal level. Whose handiwork was that?"
Whis wasn't loud, but every word struck Beerus right where it hurt.
Beerus immediately lost his steam. This really was all his fault.
"All right, all right!"
Beerus changed the subject. "Why do you keep dredging up the past? Our Universe 7 has a God of Destruction Candidate now. He'll manage Universe 7 from now on, and our ranking will rise sooner or later!"
"Then neither of us should criticize the other again!"
"Fine, we won't!"
Beerus snorted.
Seeing Beerus snort, Whis snorted too.
The two of them were clearly the ceiling of combat strength in Universe 7, yet the sight of them arguing was utterly childish.
The little farce soon passed, and they turned their attention back to the projection.
Seeing Shin recreate the useless planets he had worked so hard to destroy, Beerus clenched his fists.
Whis, on the other hand, burst out laughing. Beerus still had the Elder Supreme Kai sealed away, after all. With no one to teach Supreme Kai Shin, of course he wouldn't understand anything.
The projection kept playing. Glen destroyed the planets Shin had recreated.
Although it wasn't "destruction," its effect on the balance of the universe was the same.
Beerus was very pleased. This God of Destruction Candidate he had taken on was perfectly qualified. He would feel even more reassured about leaving the task of destroying planets to Glen in the future.
"Lord Beerus, when are you going to release the Elder Supreme Kai?"
"If I let him out, what if he accidentally dies?"
"But if you don't release the Elder Supreme Kai, the East Supreme Kai won't understand anything."
"Isn't Glen teaching him?"
"..."
The corner of Whis's mouth twitched. How could this fellow be so afraid of dying?
He sighed. "But Glen is ultimately just a God of Destruction Candidate. What could he know? A God of Destruction alone isn't enough to raise a universe's ranking!"
Beerus suddenly fell silent. Half a minute passed before he squeezed out a few words. "We'll talk about it later."
With that, he resumed watching the projection of Glen's experiences over the past month.
In the footage, Glen arrived on Planet Namek. The first three wishes he made to Shenron gave even Beerus a fright.
He wanted an immortal body that even Lord Zeno couldn't "erase"? To become the greatest fighter in Zeno's Universe? To gain eternal youth and immortality in the truest sense?
Were those wishes a normal person could come up with?
Never mind that little lizard of a dragon-even Super Shenron probably couldn't grant them!
Whis covered his mouth and chuckled. Naturally, he could tell that Glen was teasing that dragon.
But then came the point when Glen actually made his wishes.
Whis said gravely, "Look, Lord Beerus. Glen really didn't know his dimensional level had reached peak King Kai!"
"I noticed ages ago. That idiot even asked that lizard why he could survive in space. That's hilarious!"
Seeing Glen's bewildered little expression, Beerus held his stomach and roared with laughter.
When Glen made his second wish, Beerus suddenly grew serious again.
Even Shenron, who possessed the power of miracles, didn't know the secret within Glen. That little fellow...
Beerus shook his head again. When Whis woke him this time, he had told him the Grand Priest's assessment of Glen.
The Grand Priest had said they could train him without worry!
At that thought, he stopped worrying!
The projection moved on to Glen's third wish. Glen asked Shenron to transport three large vats of beans to his side.
Beerus showed little interest in those unremarkable beans, but Whis's expression grew grave.
"Senzu Beans? They can restore someone instantly?"
Whis frowned. These beans' effects were comparable to an Angel's healing magic!
While Whis was deep in thought, Beerus's startled shouting suddenly rang in his ears:
"Didn't I tell you to fight strong opponents? Why did you go looking for trash like this?!"
As it turned out, after leaving Planet Namek, Glen had taken Shin's duo along to challenge all kinds of powerful fighters throughout the universe to train his bodily instincts.
Watching the projection, Beerus had thought Glen would seek out fighters stronger than himself.
Who would have thought he would only find some trash with a power level of just over a hundred!
Was that kid afraid of dying, and therefore didn't dare seek out powerful opponents?
Wait!
Beerus suddenly noticed something unusual about the fellow Glen had found.
But by then, Whis was already mocking him. "Lord Beerus, your eye for things hasn't been very good lately, has it? Haven't you noticed that the person Glen found has a very high level of martial arts skill?"
Beerus looked over and curled his lip. "Could you stop being so annoying? I only got distracted for a moment, and you have to mock me for that too?"
"Oh ho ho~~ Lord Beerus, you really won't admit it. You clearly misjudged him!"
"I won't stoop to your level!" Beerus snorted and turned his head away.
"Lord Beerus, there are many examples like this in the universe. Their power is clearly very weak, but their understanding of martial arts is astonishingly profound."
Whis ignored Beerus and continued on his own:
"Glen's bodily instincts have reached the first stage, which is quite a good level among mortals. But apart from us, he hasn't fought anyone. You could say his understanding of martial arts is zero!"
"Look!"
Whis pointed at the projection again. "Glen has been suppressing his power the entire time. The power he's using is even lower than his opponent's, but through these repeated setbacks, his understanding of martial arts and his combat awareness are improving rapidly!"
At this point, Whis's eyes began to shine. "This little fellow knows what his weakness is. That's why he's seeking out martial arts masters like this to spar with. Glen really is far too clever!"
