Undercurrents Surge, Whis's Intuition

God of Destruction Beerus and Angel Whis left, and with the oppressive pressure gone, King Vegeta III finally let out a breath of relief.

But the next second, he clenched his teeth and, consumed by rage, slammed his fist into the ground.

With a power level exceeding ten thousand, the force behind each blow was obvious.

Anger, resentment!

And the humiliation born of helplessness.

Only after venting the negative emotions in his heart did King Vegeta III suddenly come to his senses. He immediately got to his feet and ran toward his son.

"Vegeta! Vegeta!!"

After calling out repeatedly, King Vegeta III checked Vegeta's breathing. Only after confirming that he was still alive did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had thought that his genius son had been killed by God of Destruction Beerus.

Soon, under his calls, Vegeta woke from his coma. When he opened his eyes and saw the worried expression on his father's face, he asked, "Father? What... happened to me?"

"Hm?" King Vegeta III froze. After murmuring to himself, he asked, "You don't remember what just happened?"

Hearing that, Vegeta still looked utterly bewildered, as though he had forgotten everything he had experienced before.

"Can't remember? Perhaps that's for the best. It wasn't something worth remembering!" King Vegeta III murmured quietly. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately chose not to tell Vegeta the truth.

Some things were perhaps better left forgotten.

If his son kept remembering what had happened, it would deal a tremendous blow to his mind as well.

King Vegeta III did not realize it.

It was precisely because the blow had been so immense that, after Vegeta fell unconscious, his body instinctively blocked off those painful memories.

Vegeta did not understand, but he did not ask again. He seemed to know that if his father wanted to tell him, there was no need for him to ask; and if he did not intend to tell him, then asking would be useless.

"Vegeta, my finest son, remember this! You will always be the most gifted warrior of our race! You are only five years old, yet you already have a power level of 5,000. In the future, you may become the legendary Super Saiyan and lead our Saiyan race to completely break free from our destiny!" King Vegeta III encouraged him with hopeful eyes, trying to build Vegeta's confidence.

Though he had heard these words no fewer than ten times.

Every time he heard them from his father's mouth, he still felt immensely proud.

"I won't let you down, Father!" Vegeta replied seriously.

Having received the answer he wanted, King Vegeta III laughed three times before asking, "You came to see me because of this expedition, correct? Have you finished preparing?"

"Yes! Nappa, Jero, and the others are all ready. I came specifically to bid you farewell. We'll be setting out shortly!" Vegeta nodded.

"Then go! The planet you are invading this time is fairly strong. Take this opportunity to temper yourself well. There is no need to rush back. If anything unexpected happens, I will send word to you." As King Vegeta spoke, he recalled something and continued, "If Frieza summons you, remember to stay calm no matter what happens! Before you possess enough strength, keep a low profile."

"I understand!"

Though Vegeta was proud of his talent, he was not arrogant.

He understood many principles.

"Mm." King Vegeta nodded.

Then, after hesitating for a long while, he finally decided to mention it.

"Also, if you ever hear the name God of Destruction Beerus in the future, remember not to provoke him."

At the mention of God of Destruction Beerus, Vegeta repeated the name under his breath and paused slightly, as if he were about to remember something. But his father interrupted him. "All right, go! Don't keep the others waiting too long... As the prince, you must set an example! Oh, right. Bardock's son Raditz will be accompanying you this time as well. I've already spoken with Nappa and Jero. Handle it as you see fit. Just don't let him die..."

"I understand! Then I'll take my leave, Father."

"Good."

Having received permission, Vegeta bowed, then turned and walked outside.

Watching Vegeta's departing back, King Vegeta III clenched his teeth again.

How could the humiliation he had suffered earlier be erased so easily?

"I hope everything goes smoothly! As long as I successfully kill you, Frieza, I, King Vegeta, will become the new Galactic Emperor! When that time comes..." King Vegeta flicked his cape and walked toward his throne.

On Planet Vegeta, undercurrents surged.

King Vegeta III had already guessed that Frieza had summoned all the Saiyans stationed outside back because he intended to purge them.

So, he had no choice but to resist!

Sending his son away was also a precaution.

Meanwhile.

As Whis traveled at superluminal speed, he silently sighed while listening to Beerus's grumbling.

Of course, he did not take those complaints to heart.

After being together for tens of billions of years, how could he not understand the temperament of his own God of Destruction?

Just as he was about to calculate how long Lord Beerus would sleep after returning to the God of Destruction Realm this time, his expression suddenly froze slightly.

[Could this subtle fluctuation mean that another powerful being capable of influencing the current cosmic order has been born somewhere in the universe?] Whis sighed inwardly.

While they were jumping through space, he had no way to investigate it.

But no matter how powerful a being was born, it was actually nothing to entities like them.

Compared to the countless stars in the universe, the star that had suddenly caught his attention was merely a little brighter. It was not particularly special.

"Hey, hey, hey~~! Are you even listening to me? Whis! Have you never taken me seriously at all?!" Seeing Whis spacing out, Beerus grew even more irritated.

Hearing that, Whis immediately gave an awkward smile. "Oh ho ho ho~~~ My sincerest apologies, Lord Beerus. I was merely wondering whether, once we return to the God of Destruction Realm, you would like to bathe and freshen up first, or if I should prepare some food for you. After all, we did not get to eat anything particularly delicious on Planet Vegeta."

"Hmph! What do you think? Just thinking about it makes me angry!" Beerus snorted disdainfully.

"Then I shall prepare some food, and afterward you can take a nice hot bath to calm yourself down," Whis continued soothingly.

Hearing this, Beerus said nothing further.

There was no use dwelling on it anymore. Everything that needed to be said had already been said.

"You know, after getting worked up by that brat King Vegeta, I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore."

"Is that so? Then after you enjoy your meal, how about I exchange a few moves with you first? We can burn off some energy, and then you can bathe and rest afterward. Come to think of it, Lord Beerus, it has been quite a long time since you last trained." Whis spoke with a smile.

The moment he heard that, Beerus suddenly shuddered, goosebumps rising all over his body.

Exchange a few moves with Whis? He would have to be insane.

He immediately yawned. "Now that you mention it, I'm sleepy again."

"Oh ho ho ho ho~~!"
