Over here, Kairos and Grandpa Gohan began their match.
Meanwhile, in the Supreme Realm of Universe 7—the God of Destruction Realm.
As Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, Whis received the news shortly afterward and reported it to Beerus.
Ever since leaving Planet Vegeta more than half a month ago, Beerus had practically forgotten about the Saiyan race by now.
After all, as a God of Destruction who had existed for over ten billion years, he had witnessed planets and races of life endlessly rise and fall throughout that time. If he remembered everything, his head would have exploded long ago.
As the supreme deity of the universe, he had never cared about people, events, or things that flashed by like brief blooms. Even if some remained in his memory for a long time, they would eventually be forgotten.
"Hmph! Frieza really is impatient. He calls himself the Galactic Emperor, yet he fears a mere Saiyan race. With his strength, even if those Saiyans were ten thousand times stronger, they still wouldn't be his match. Is he really that afraid of being overturned in a gutter?" Beerus grumbled as he chewed on some unidentified dried fish.
He simply could not understand Frieza's way of doing things.
Of course, he did not know that Frieza's family had borne a grudge against the Saiyans since long ago.
Back then, Chilled, Frieza's ancestor, had been killed by a Saiyan capable of transforming into a golden-haired form, and the warning passed down from that event had endured to this day!
Though it had happened ages ago, and the truth could not be fully verified.
The Saiyan race did indeed possess the legend of the Super Saiyan, and that made Frieza wary.
No matter how confident he was in his own power, no matter how disdainful he was of such legends, he did not want to give the Saiyans any opportunity. So, he decisively wiped out the Saiyan race to eliminate all future trouble.
Frieza had indeed eliminated ninety-nine percent of the possibility that a Super Saiyan might be born.
But he had still made the most basic mistake.
Since he had already decided to exterminate them completely, he should not have kept a few Saiyans around as dogs...
"Ho ho ho ho~~ Lord Beerus actually cares quite a bit about the Saiyan race," Whis said with a smiling gaze.
Beerus dismissed the teasing with contempt. "You think I care about the Saiyan race? What a joke! I am the supreme God of Destruction of the universe! A race no better than ants—Frieza could destroy them with a flick of his finger. I could wipe them out with a single breath."
"Is that so? Then why were you so agitated after hearing the news, Lord Beerus? Or are you dissatisfied with Frieza and planning to replace him as your Agent of Destruction?" Whis asked again with a pleasant smile.
As Beerus's attendant and teacher, he understood Beerus far too well.
"Of course I'm dissatisfied. That fellow truly has grown too bold. If his destructive ability weren't decent—far stronger than his father King Cold's—I would have destroyed him long ago... Let him continue working for me for a while. Keep a closer eye on him. As long as he doesn't do anything too excessive before I go to sleep, let him remain the Agent of Destruction. Once I wake up, I'll destroy him myself." Beerus had already made his decision.
Let Frieza destroy to his heart's content. Indulge him for a few decades and let him reduce the number of planets and races in the universe.
An Agent of Destruction was someone who carried out destruction at his command!
Beerus believed Frieza was a smart man and would not recklessly destroy everything.
Otherwise, this Galactic Emperor of his would become a commander without an army. What would there be left for him to rule?
"Understood. I'll keep an eye on him as best I can, Lord Beerus." Whis smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to say something else.
A sudden commotion came from outside.
Before long, under Whis and Beerus's watchful eyes, a fish arrived, controlling a flying fishbowl.
It was none other than Oracle Fish!
"Ho ho ho ho~~ Still as frantic as ever, Oracle Fish. It's been some time since we last saw you," Whis said gently.
Whis remained calm, but Beerus was somewhat displeased.
Lately, he had been preparing himself for sleep.
What he hated most was this sort of frantic commotion making such a racket.
"If you don't have anything important to say, I'll grill you and eat you," Beerus said sternly, folding his arms as he leaned back against the comfortable chair.
Hearing Beerus's words, Oracle Fish shuddered and fearfully hid behind Whis.
"I-I-I foresaw a new future, so I hurried over to report it, Lord Beerus."
"Oh? A new prophecy? Let's hear it." As Beerus spoke, he raised a hand and picked his teeth with his cat claws.
His terrifying expression, combined with his sharp claws and fangs, made Oracle Fish tremble incessantly as cold sweat poured down his body.
Seeing this, Whis sighed and said, "Lord Beerus, please stop frightening Oracle Fish. Let's hear him out first. Perhaps this prophecy will be quite interesting."
"Mm." At Whis's words, Beerus stopped fooling around, and the murderous air around him immediately dissipated.
Oracle Fish also breathed a sigh of relief before revealing what he had foreseen.
Whis and Beerus were both stunned at first. Then Beerus burst into laughter, while Whis's eyes flickered as though he were pondering something.
"Hahahaha~~! You're saying that after I wake from this sleep, a Super Saiyan God will appear in the universe and battle me? Oracle Fish, Oracle Fish... you truly are... Do you really think there could be anyone in this world qualified to fight me? Some Super Saiyan God, no less..."
As he spoke, Beerus's tone suddenly changed. Realizing something, he confirmed again, "You said Super Saiyan God? A Saiyan... god???"
"That's what the prophecy says: Saiyan God, Super Saiyan God!" Oracle Fish gave an affirmative answer once more.
Those words made Beerus rise to his feet, his expression turning grave. "Hey! Whis, didn't you say that Frieza had wiped out the Saiyan race and Planet Vegeta? Then how could there still be a Super Saiyan God in the future?!"
"Well, Frieza did not actually wipe out the Saiyan race completely. He spared some Saiyans, including Vegeta IV, the son of King Vegeta III. A few others had either been sent away while still young, or were fighting elsewhere and did not return to Planet Vegeta in time, thus escaping the fate of being killed..." Whis explained.
