Upon hearing Champa Zeno, before even seeing him, Champa's hair stood on end.
Beerus wouldn't use this to intimidate him.
He turned his head and, sure enough, saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.
The diminutive Zeno floated in the air, flanked by two guards.
Champa exclaimed in horror, " Zeno Zeno!"
Seeing Beerus and Champa so flustered for the first time, Vegeta couldn't help but ask, " Whis, who is the Zeno?"
Everyone else looked at Whis, also curious about who this seemingly distinguished child was.
Whis explained, " The Zeno- King is a god who stands at the pinnacle of the twelve universes, possessing the full power to govern all universes—"
"What?"
"The pinnacle of the entire universe?"
Everyone was shocked.
Beerus and Champa rushed toward the Zeno, kneeling and bowing in unison.
"Welcome, Your Zeno!"
The Supreme Kai also rushed over and knelt down to pay their respects.
"What brings you here today?"
The Zeno said, "I originally wanted to remind you that you organized this competition without authorization."
However, after watching it, I found it very interesting, but I just didn't get enough.
How about we hold Martial Arts Tournament that spans the entire universe?
Champa and Beerus responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing that Martial Arts Tournament involving twelve universes was to be held, Son Goku immediately became interested.
He suddenly pushed his way forward, urging, "Really? That must be so much fun! Let's do it!"
Beerus was terrified and his hair stood on end. He scolded, " Goku, don't speak to the Zeno without permission!!"
Zeno didn't mind and readily replied to Goku, "Okay, we'll hold it sometime."
Goku extended his hand again, agreeing, "Then it's settled!"
The two guards' foreheads gleamed with murderous intent at the thought that the Zeno dared to lay a hand on them.
If the Zeno showed even the slightest displeasure, he would kill Son Goku on the spot.
Goku's sincerity came from the bottom of his heart, a feeling completely different from that of his subordinates who surrounded him and flattered him all day long.
The Zeno felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Goku, so he shook hands with Goku.
"Okay, it's settled!"
Seeing the Zeno's attitude, Beerus and Champa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two released their grip, and the Zeno looked Goku up and down, asking curiously, "I feel like I've seen you before."
Goku scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "You've seen me before? No way, it seems like this is the first time we've met?"
The Zeno immediately said, "I remember now, did Zamasu take over your body?"
Goku was startled and immediately nodded, saying, "Wow, so you knew?"
The Zeno replied, "Yes, but if you switch back to your original demeanor, you won't seem offensive at all."
Son Goku said, "That Zamasu is really wicked; he actually stole my body."
The Zeno nodded. "Yes, he also killed all the gods. What a nuisance."
I originally intended to eliminate Zamasu, or at least the resulting spacetime, but the Grand Priest said that perhaps humanity has the ability to save itself, and told me to wait and see if a miracle might happen!
Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
Erasing the entire spacetime?
It turns out we were walking a tightrope all along; it turns out we were already on the brink of life and death.
A sense of relief and joy welled up in everyone's hearts.
Ignoring the petty emotions of the others, the Zeno looked at Beerus and praised him, " Beerus, your universe did a good job this time."
Upon hearing the Zeno's praise, Beerus's back tensed even more.
He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Zeno kind; this is merely my duty."
Champa stood to the side, barely daring to breathe, her plump body trembling slightly.
Zeno raised his head and glanced at Son Mirai, Android 18, Vegeta, and the others.
He said, " Universe 7, very good, keep up the good work!"
Beerus nodded again. "It certainly will, Zeno!"
Zeno waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm leaving, bye-bye!"
"Respectfully seeing off Zeno Zen!"
Under the protection of his guards, the Zeno departed.
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Beerus looked at Son Goku and said, "You brat, you were too reckless just now. If you had angered the Zeno, he could have wiped out the entire universe in an instant!"
Son Mirai advised, "Alright, Lord Beerus, don't criticize him anymore. I think the Zeno likes him very much, perhaps precisely because Goku isn't afraid of him."
Beerus wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "That won't do either. If we anger Lord Zeno, things will get really bad!"
Whis nodded. "That's right. Now that the match is over, shall we go back?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, it's time to go back!"
Everyone stepped onto Whis's Transport Cube.
Vados immediately waved and said, " Lord Beerus, starting tomorrow, I'll be reporting to Earth every morning at eight o'clock!"
Beerus glanced at Vados and said, "Whatever—"
After saying goodbye, Transport Cube, crossed space, and returned to the Universe 7.
The Transport Cube landed smoothly at the Capsule Corp, and the afterglow of the setting sun bathed everyone in gold.
As soon as Goku jumped down from the cube, he exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, Martial Arts Tournament between the twelve universes!"
Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping!
I wonder what the powerful beings in other universes are like?
Could there be someone even more powerful Hit?
Vegeta crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Hmph, since this is a universe-wide tournament, it certainly won't disappoint us."
O
Beerus slowly stepped down from the cube. Hearing their conversation, he paused, giving them a cold, indifferent glance, as if he were looking at two ignorant and reckless fools.
"You two, don't be too happy yet."
Beerus's voice was solemn, which was completely different from his usual quick temper.
Goku scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, " Lord Beerus, what's wrong?"
The Zeno says it's going to be done, isn't that a good thing?
"I can fight strong people again!"
Beerus's pupils contracted slightly, and he slowly said, "Good news?"
Do you really think that the Martial Arts Tournament Zeno mentioned is just about having you fight a few battles?
Goku blinked, clearly not understanding the meaning behind those words.
Vegeta, however, keenly sensed something and frowned. " Lord Beerus, you mean—"
Whis said, "What Lord Beerus means is that the thoughts of the Zeno- King are never something that mortals can fathom."
He said he wanted to hold Martial Arts Tournament involving twelve universes, so it should be held.
But—what about time? What about the purpose? What about the rules? What happens if you lose? What happens if you win?
Whis paused, glanced at Goku and Vegeta, and continued, " The Zeno never explains the consequences of his actions beforehand."
Just like when they told us they were going to erase us, they said it so casually, and they carried it out so casually.
In his eyes, the existence of the universe was no different from crushing a candy.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Bulma's face paled slightly, and she subconsciously moved closer to Son Mirai.
Android 18's expression remained normal, but his eyes had become more serious.
Goku finally stopped smiling and suddenly said, "But the Zeno said that he thinks our universe is pretty good, and he even praised us."
Beerus coldly interrupted him, saying, "Don't be arrogant. The Zeno- King's emotions can change in an instant."
I might find you interesting today, but I might find you boring tomorrow.
And if he finds you boring, then you're in danger—"
Goku quickly shut up.
Son Mirai said, "Some things are better left unmentioned, but we still need to make preparations!"
Our advantage over other universes is that we know there might be a martial arts competition, so we can start training in advance.

Everyone looked at him.
Son Mirai looked at Goku and Vegeta and said, "In our current Super Saiyan Blue form, we are considered top-tier in Universe 7, but we are probably not strong enough against the powerhouses of the twelve universes."
Therefore, you should all follow Whis and cultivate diligently, striving to reach new heights.
Son Goku and Vegeta both nodded.
Whis looked at Son Mirai and asked, "Oh dear, Mr. Son Mirai, why did you give those two these instructions?"
Don't you intend to cultivate with me?
Son Mirai nodded. "Yes, I don't want to be away from Earth for a long time!"
Anyway, we beat Vados, so from now on I can just train with Vados!
"I see."
