Sure enough, on a distant planet, within the God of Destruction Realm, a cat wearing ragged pajamas and a golden collar woke up. He was the strongest fighter in the universe—the God of Destruction, Beerus.
Just then, Whis walked gracefully toward the bed where Beerus lay. Around it were several objects that looked like clocks.
They were alarm clocks Whis had specially prepared for Lord Beerus.
"Oh my, Lord Beerus is almost awake. If you don't get up soon, I'll have to sing. It's time to wake up!"
Seeing that Beerus was ignoring him, Whis picked up a microphone and said, "Then I'll start singing, Lord Beerus!"
At that, Beerus's ears perked up. Lazily, he said, "I know. I'll get up right away."
With his eyes closed, Beerus stood and walked down a nonexistent staircase, limping, rolling, and hopping until he reached Whis.
"Whis, how long did I sleep this time?" Beerus asked.
"Oh my, Lord Beerus really does have a poor memory. You've been asleep for thirty-nine years," Whis replied with a smile.
"Only thirty-nine years? I wanted to sleep a little longer!" Beerus licked his hand with his tongue, looking every bit like a cat.
"Lord Beerus, did you sleep well this time?" Whis asked.
At those words, a figure appeared in Beerus's mind—his formidable foe from the dream, the Super Saiyan God.
Beerus immediately asked Whis, "Is there anyone in our universe called the Super Saiyan God?"
Whis was slightly surprised. He knew that Beerus had ordered Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta.
However, Whis didn't show it. "Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. Only about six Saiyans remain in the universe."
"But I've never heard of anyone called the Super Saiyan God. Lord Beerus, your dreams have never been accurate before. Are you sure this time?"
At that, Beerus opened his enormous catlike eyes and stared at Whis. "Are you questioning whether what I'm saying is true, Whis?"
Seeing Lord Beerus glaring at him with displeasure, Whis burst into laughter. "Lord Beerus, you've been asleep for so long, you must be starving. I've prepared breakfast for you," he said with a smile.
Suddenly, Beerus's stomach growled. "All right, let's go eat something first!" he said, stretching.
The scene shifted. Beerus was enjoying a meal while Whis stood respectfully to one side. As Beerus ate, the Super Saiyan God's figure appeared in his mind once more.
Beerus asked with some irritation, "Whis, is there really no one in the universe called the Super Saiyan God?"
Whis took up his staff and looked into the matter. Then he gave Beerus a definite answer. "Lord Beerus, there really is no such person in the universe. I've searched many times."
"However, although there's no Super Saiyan God, there may be two people who could interest you a little, Lord Beerus."
"Oh?" Beerus perked up.
"Show me who they are," Beerus said, casually picking his teeth.
Whis showed Beerus footage of Vegito and Ye Ming fighting three years earlier.
Beerus watched carefully. "I didn't know the universe had such powerful warriors. But what a shame they aren't gods."
"These two are pretty strong, especially that young fellow named Ye Ming. I feel he has great potential."
Even so, their strength only made Beerus raise a hand slightly.
But Beerus still wanted to find the Super Saiyan God, because he was the formidable foe from his dream.
The more Beerus thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He suddenly stood up. "Whis, where are those Saiyans?"
"They're on a planet called Earth. It'll take about twenty-four minutes to get there."
Beerus clasped his hands behind his back, then suddenly bent over and sighed. "That's a really long time. It's enough time to watch an entire episode of an anime."
Beerus fixed Whis with a sharp gaze. "Let's go to Earth and meet those Saiyans. I refuse to believe they don't know anything about the Super Saiyan God."
Whis was slightly surprised. He had wanted to visit Earth, too, but his duties kept him from going out alone. (In fact, Whis often went there in the anime.)
And so, in a flash of brilliant light, Whis and Beerus set off for Earth.
Using the spatial travel function of his staff, Whis took Beerus to Earth.
Along the way, the God of Destruction Beerus destroyed dozens of planets, making his duty as a destroyer unmistakably clear.
The scene shifted.
Old Kai suddenly sensed something, too. Beads of sweat rolled down his face as he whispered, "Oh no, he's awakened! Who knows how many planets he'll destroy this time?"
After all, destroying planets was the God of Destruction's duty, while the Supreme Kai's duty was to create. The two roles complemented and opposed each other.
Beside him, Shin asked, "Old Ancestor, what's wrong? Why are you sweating?"
Old Kai shouted at Shin, "Don't you feel it? A terrifying person has awakened, you idiot!"
Shin scratched his head. "A terrifying person? I don't feel anything."
Old Kai didn't want to deal with the idiot anymore. He was lost in thought, filled with anxiety.
"It looks like the universe is about to face another great purge," Old Kai murmured.
Back with Ye Ming, the system warned him: "The God of Destruction Beerus will arrive on Earth in ten minutes. Please prepare, host."
The timeline was now about the same as in the anime. It was Bulma's birthday party, and neither he nor Son Goku was training anymore.
Ye Ming had already told Vegeta and the other Z Fighters about it.
When Vegeta first heard the name Beerus, he was so frightened he nearly wet himself. "How do you know he's coming to Earth?" Vegeta had asked Ye Ming.
Ye Ming hadn't explained further. He only needed to convince Vegeta that Beerus was coming to Earth.
Vegeta didn't ask more, because he trusted Ye Ming not to make things up. He had already gotten to know him fairly well.
Vegeta knew how terrifying the God of Destruction Beerus was. When Beerus had once pinned his father beneath his foot, it had left a shadow in Vegeta's heart.
That helpless feeling of being weak and unable to fight back kept welling up inside him.
Ye Ming, Son Goku, and Vegeta stood at the bow of the ship, with none of the excitement or joy of a party in their hearts.
They were waiting for someone—the God of Destruction Beerus.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and a radiant, multicolored pillar of light appeared on the party boat.
Everyone saw a huge purple cat wearing simple clothes, along with an elegant man holding a staff.
"Oh, it seems you knew we were coming and prepared for us. Still, I'm not interested in how you knew we were on our way," Beerus said casually.
Just as everyone was about to speak, Bulma, Vegeta's wife, said, "A guest is a guest, Vegeta. Are these your friends?"
Vegeta froze, about to deny it, but Bulma quickly added, "It's my birthday today, and we're having a party. We've prepared lots of delicious food. Would you like to join us?"
When Beerus and Whis heard there was food, their eyes lit up. "Oh, you're Vegeta's wife, Mrs. Bulma. It's a pleasure to meet you. We've just arrived, so I'm sorry to impose, but we'd be delighted to join your party."
Bulma's smile widened. She led Whis and Beerus toward the party.
The Z Fighters were stunned. They had been prepared to fight to the death, but things had turned out completely differently.
At that moment, Ye Ming said, "It's fine. Let them go ahead. We should go, too."
Everyone nodded and immediately followed Beerus.
They warmly served Beerus all kinds of delicious food, while Vegeta worked the crowd to make sure nothing upset him.
Everyone watched Vegeta being so attentive, practically gaping in disbelief.
No conflict broke out. Even the part where Majin Buu provoked Beerus in the original story never happened, and neither did the fight that followed.
This was exactly the outcome Ye Ming wanted. The moment Beerus arrived, he had sensed the terrifying power hidden within him. Whis, meanwhile, was even more unfathomable.
After the party, Beerus stood up solemnly and walked over to the Saiyans. "Do you know about the Super Saiyan God?"
At those words, Vegeta and Son Goku exchanged blank looks and shook their heads.
Seeing their expressions, Beerus grew displeased. Was this dream fake again? No, impossible.
But Ye Ming knew how to bring out the Super Saiyan God. After all, he was a transmigrator.
Even so, he didn't want to say anything just yet. He wanted to see what Beerus would do next.
