Return and a New Crisis!!!

Son Goku and the others had no idea that a new crisis was about to arrive. After dinner that evening, they had said goodbye to their families and officially set out to return to the God of Destruction Realm!

To repay Whis for his teachings, and Beerus for his "enthusiastic" invitation to train in the God of Destruction Realm, Son Goku and the others had brought Whis and Beerus plenty of delicious food!

With their families watching them reluctantly, Ye Ming left Earth with Son Goku and the others. Piccolo and Majin Buu, however, stayed behind on Earth. After all, they were both quite powerful, and could help protect the planet.

After Ye Ming and the others had gone to the God of Destruction Realm, Piccolo had never given up training. His strength had now reached a level comparable to Super Saiyan Third Stage.

Super 17 also went with Ye Ming and the others to the God of Destruction Realm. He had only followed Ye Ming out of curiosity, but Ye Ming had told him it was a great place to train, where he could quickly increase his strength.

Ye Ming had gone to all this trouble for Super 17 to raise Universe 7's overall power and help it contribute its strength in the crises to come!

Super 17's current power was equivalent to the combined strength of two Super Saiyan Blue Son Gokus. There was no doubt his strength had increased dramatically!

After Super 17 appeared, Son Goku and Vegeta repeatedly asked to spar with him, but Ye Ming stopped them every time. He knew this wasn't the right moment!

Whoosh! Ye Ming used Instant Transmission, and the next moment, he appeared in the God of Destruction Realm with the others.

Super 17 looked around. The environment felt much like Earth's, except for a few strange buildings and some enormous trees.

Whis and Beerus sensed that Ye Ming and the others had returned and immediately appeared beside them.

Son Goku greeted them enthusiastically. "Yo, Lord Beerus! We're back! We brought you some really delicious food this time."

Son Gohan and Son Goku had all the food, and they immediately handed it to Whis and the others. Whis smiled and said, "That's very thoughtful of you, but now isn't the time to talk about that."

Ye Ming caught the implication in Whis's words. "Did something happen, Whis?"

"Something has, indeed. You may need to deal with it. A group of unwelcome visitors from beyond time and space have arrived in our timeline, and they're up to no good."

"They're collecting the DNA of powerful fighters. That may be what they need to carry out their plan. They've already traveled through many timelines," Whis said gravely.

Ye Ming quickly asked, "Do you have pictures or projections of them?" Deep down, he didn't want to believe those people had come to their timeline.

Whis soon displayed images of the outsiders before them. Ye Ming studied them closely.

Suddenly, Ye Ming exclaimed in shock, "How could these guys have come to our timeline? Why?"

Beerus and Whis could tell from Ye Ming's reaction that he seemed to know them. Beerus asked, "Do you know these guys?"

Ye Ming murmured to himself, "This is bad. Very bad. How could they have appeared here? It's impossible!"

"These guys are invaders from a parallel timeline, so to speak. They're collecting the DNA of powerful fighters, probably to strengthen the warriors in their own parallel timeline—or, more specifically, the Saiyans."

"They have advanced technology. They travel through time and space in search of powerful fighters, constantly stealing their DNA. They're the very root of war."

"Damn it! How could these guys have come to our timeline? Why hasn't the Grand Priest driven them out?" Seeing Ye Ming this shocked for the first time left Beerus and the others astounded!

Vegeta asked, "Are they dangerous?"

Ye Ming replied with grave seriousness, "There are only three of them for now, but they have powerful technology. They can use temporal displacement to summon a whole army of Saiyans—or other beings with a strong instinct to plunder. They're extremely dangerous!"

Son Goku and the others were shocked by Ye Ming's explanation! After hearing it, Vegeta also felt that things looked very bad!

"Lord Beerus, this is an extremely urgent situation. You have no idea how serious the consequences could be. Even though you're a God of Destruction, their Saiyan army includes quite a few Saiyans with power on par with Gods of Destruction, or even Angels."

Whis was also taken aback!

"In short, I only have a rough understanding of them. Anyway, they're definitely not good people. The Saiyans in their timeline have no compassion; they only carry out the missions assigned by their superiors."

"Those three are probably gathering information or looking for powerful fighters worth taking on!"

"Look at the leader in the middle. All I know is that he's a Bio-Android, and his power is terrifying!" Ye Ming told Beerus and the others at length.

Whis and Beerus didn't doubt what Ye Ming said. After all, Ye Ming's origins were also a mystery. They only knew that he wouldn't harm their universe and that he was a Saiyan with a strong sense of justice!

Beerus was a little alarmed now, too. The power level of those outsiders' timeline was far beyond what he had expected!

Whis furrowed his brow. He hadn't expected this situation to exceed his expectations by so much. What Ye Ming had just said made it clear that the threat was urgent. Ye Ming and the others' strength alone was nowhere near enough!

Whis said, "You know that we Angels can't act under the rules. The Grand Priest is Lord Zeno's attendant; his duty is to protect Lord Zeno, not to intervene whenever he wants!"

"Yes, I know all that. But I want to go to Zeno's Palace myself and tell Lord Zeno about this."

Beerus said, "Ye Ming, you may be worrying too much. If those people really dare to enter our timeline, Lord Zeno won't stand by. He'll erase them himself."

Everyone nodded at Beerus's words, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense.

"Heh. What if Lord Zeno's erasure doesn't work on certain people?" Ye Ming said mildly.

Beerus was shocked. He hurriedly tried to deny it, but Ye Ming continued, "I know you have complete faith in Lord Zeno, Lord Beerus, but I have to tell you that this threat is real!"

After hearing Ye Ming's words, Beerus said firmly, "All right, Ye Ming. I believe you. Let's go! We'll head to Zeno's Palace together and tell Lord Zeno about this."

Soon, they reached the outside of Zeno's palace and met the Grand Priest. Ye Ming and the others bowed politely in greeting.

"Grand Priest, we need to speak with you and Lord Zeno! The situation is extremely urgent," Ye Ming said anxiously.

It was the first time the Grand Priest had seen Ye Ming so worried. "Please, follow me."

Soon, they stood before Zeno and bowed respectfully.

Ye Ming told Zeno and the Grand Priest everything that had happened, along with the potential dangers and all the powerful figures he knew about.

The Grand Priest furrowed his brow as well. As an Angel, he couldn't act under the rules. After learning all this, he asked, "Ye Ming, are you certain? Does that timeline truly have people with power on par with Angels, or even beyond them?"

Ye Ming nodded gravely. "Grand Priest, I wouldn't lie. I can assure you that everything I just said is true."

"If those plundering Saiyans and other evil figures arrive in our timeline, it will be very difficult for us to hold them back."

"Because of the rules, the Grand Priest and the other Angels can't act on their own. That leaves the Gods of Destruction and powerful fighters, but the gap in strength is simply too great."

"I can only say that even I can't currently beat some of the people there. But I need time to train. I haven't been in this world long enough to train properly. Give me a little more time, and they'll be no threat at all."

Vegeta and Son Goku realized that if Ye Ming couldn't beat them yet, they stood little chance. They needed more time to train, too.

The Grand Priest looked intently at Ye Ming, trying to read something in his eyes. Ye Ming met his gaze without fear.

Zeno said, "Ye Ming, I understand what you've told me. You said there are people who can resist my erasure?"

Ye Ming replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord Zeno. I know it may be hard to believe, but this could really happen! We need to prepare for every possibility."

Just then, the guards on either side spoke up. "Protecting Lord Zeno is our duty. If those guys dare cause trouble, we'll destroy them completely."

Ye Ming had seen how powerful Zeno's Guards were in the Dragon Ball fan animation before, but he still wanted to ask them directly. "Hello, Lord Zeno's two guards. How strong are you?"

Zeno glanced at the guards on either side and nodded. One of them replied, "You're Ye Ming, right? All I can tell you is that, as Lord Zeno's guards, we're the strongest fighters in the entire multiverse. Our power is beyond your imagination."

Hearing this, Ye Ming thought that was about what he'd expected! Still, he remained worried. He had no idea how powerful the people in the Dragon Ball Asalon timeline had become.

Son Goku said, "Wow, that's incredible! Zeno, could you send your guards to help us—" Before he could finish, Vegeta clamped a hand over his mouth.

Zeno handed Ye Ming a button. "Of course! Haha, I'll give you a button. If you can't hold out, press it, and we'll appear where you are."

Ye Ming knew what it was. It was the Zeno Summoner!!! He'd got himself a cheat item.

Zeno even gave Son Goku one of his own! Hey, it looked like Son Goku still got the main character treatment after all.

But Ye Ming was still filled with worry, and it left him terribly restless!

Beerus tried to reassure Ye Ming. "Don't fret so much. I'll stand in front of you. Universe 7 is my home. I'd never abandon it. Protecting it is my duty."

Looking at Beerus before him, Ye Ming thought that, sure enough, at such a critical moment, Beerus was the very picture of a god doing his duty.
