Lin Fan spoke clearly, one word at a time.
At his words, Beerus and Whis both froze.
They exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.
Training warriors.
It was an idea that had never even occurred to them.
After a brief moment of surprise, Beerus's eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh, excitement spreading across his face.
"Great! Great! Great!"
"This bet sounds interesting!"
"I agree!"
"I want to see just how strong the warriors you two train will be!"
"Will they be able to surpass me, the God of Destruction?"
Beerus rubbed his hands together, looking eager.
Just thinking about it made his blood race.
Whis's smile faded, and his expression grew serious.
He looked at Lin Fan and slowly nodded.
"I agree to the bet as well."
"Honestly, I'm looking forward to this, too."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction.
He reached out and rested a hand on Whis's shoulder.
"Now that we've settled the bet,"
"let's head to Earth."
"First, we'll help Beerus find the Super Saiyan God he's been dreaming about."
"Second, god."
"Second, we can also take the opportunity to choose the people we want to train."
"Great! Great! Great!"
Beerus could hardly wait.
He placed a hand on Whis's other shoulder.
"Whis, hurry up! Let's go right now!"
"I can't wait to see the Super Saiyan God!"
Whis shook his head helplessly. Seeing how impatient Beerus was, he didn't waste any time.
Whis raised his staff and gently tapped it against the ground.
"Voom!"
A soft sound rang out.
Brilliant flames of light flared beneath their feet.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire God of Destruction Realm.
The next instant, the three of them became streaks of light and shot skyward, leaving the God of Destruction Realm behind.
Three brilliant arcs trailed through the sky.
At the same time,
in Universe 7, on the Sacred World of the Kai,
in a quiet courtyard,
Old Kai was holding a cup of tea and sipping it leisurely.
Suddenly, it was as if he sensed something.
His face changed dramatically.
The teacup fell from his hand and clattered to the ground.
Scalding tea splashed everywhere.
Old Kai's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Cold sweat broke out across his forehead.
"W-what's going on?"
"Th-that presence..."
"It's Beerus!"
"H-he's actually set out!"
Old Kai's voice was thick with fear.
Kibito Kai happened to be passing by. Seeing this, he was filled with confusion.
He hurried over, and, looking at Old Kai's distraught state, couldn't help asking,
"Old Kai, what's wrong?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen you so frightened."
"What happened?"
Old Kai slowly raised his head and looked at Kibito Kai.
His eyes were filled with solemnity.
"Kibito Kai, do you know?"
"In the universe, there are gods who create planets and life."
"And there are also gods who destroy planets and life."
"Beerus is the God of Destruction of Universe 7."
Kibito Kai froze, then furrowed his brow.
"Destruction... Does it have no purpose?"
"Purpose?"
Old Kai gave a bitter laugh and flatly denied it.
"Beerus's destruction has never had any purpose."
"He destroys things on a whim."
"When dealing with him, all we can do is be careful and comply."
"We absolutely mustn't provoke him."
"Otherwise, everything will be over!"
The more Old Kai thought about it, the more worried he became.
He sighed, his face full of concern.
"Let's hope... let's hope no fool challenges Beerus this time."
Kibito Kai immediately understood.
The fool Old Kai meant was the battle-loving Son Goku!
"Oh no!"
Kibito Kai's expression changed.
"Son Goku is on Earth right now!"
"He didn't go to King Kai's Planet to train!"
Old Kai's face grew even darker.
He clenched his fist and shouted at Kibito Kai.
"Hurry, Kibito Kai!"
"Go get the crystal ball!"
"Contact the people on Earth!"
"Tell them to hide Son Goku and Vegeta, no matter what!"
"They absolutely mustn't run into Beerus!"
Kibito Kai knew how serious the situation was.
He didn't dare delay for a moment. He turned and hurried off to find the crystal ball.
Before long,
the crystal ball on the Sacred World of the Kai had made contact with Earth.
At that moment, on Earth,
aboard a luxurious cruise ship,
Bulma was relaxing with Krillin, Master Roshi, and the others, drinking tea.
The crystal ball suddenly lit up.
Kibito Kai's image appeared inside it.
His expression was grave.
"Bulma! Krillin! Master Roshi!"
"This is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
"Beerus, the God of Destruction, is coming to Earth!"
"Beerus, the God of Destruction?"
Bulma and the others stared blankly.
"Who's that?"
"He's the God of Destruction of Universe 7!"
Kibito Kai hurriedly explained.
"His power is unfathomable!"
"He can destroy a planet with a single finger!"
"Listen carefully. You absolutely must not let Son Goku and Vegeta find out Beerus is coming to Earth!"
"And don't let them meet him!"
"Otherwise, Earth is finished!"
At his words, Bulma and the others went deathly pale.
Destroying a planet.
That power was terrifying!
"We understand!"
Bulma nodded hurriedly.
"We'll make sure Goku and Vegeta don't leave!"
After ending the call, Bulma and the others immediately began discussing what to do.
They all agreed that they had to keep Son Goku and Vegeta locked in a room, no matter what.
They absolutely couldn't let them come out.
However,
although their plan sounded good, putting it into practice proved difficult.
Before long,
at the end of the ship's corridor,
two figures strolled out.
They were Son Goku and Vegeta.
"Man, staying in the room is so boring."
Son Goku stretched, looking helpless.
Vegeta snorted and folded his arms across his chest.
"Hmph. What a bunch of boring people. All they do is drink tea and chat."
Seeing the two of them, Bulma and the others were horrified.
They hurried to their feet and rushed over, blocking the way.
"Goku! Vegeta!"
Bulma spoke quickly.
"Why did you come out?"
"Wasn't it comfortable in your room?"
"Go back! Go back!"
Son Goku scratched his head, looking confused.
"Go back? Why?"
"We've been in there for ages."
Vegeta frowned, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Just then,
a brilliant streak of light suddenly descended from the sky.
It landed on the ship's deck.
As the light faded,
Beerus, Whis, and Lin Fan gradually appeared.
They were standing right behind Son Goku and Vegeta.
All three wore smiles as they waved to Bulma and the others.
"Hi, everyone on Earth! Good afternoon!"
At the sound behind them, Bulma and the others turned deathly pale.
They stared at the three figures before them, their hearts thrown into turmoil.
They knew that one of these three had to be the terrifying God of Destruction, Beerus!
Son Goku and Vegeta's expressions changed as well.
They spun around.
With a push off their toes, they instantly put some distance between themselves and the newcomers.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
They hadn't sensed anyone approaching from behind them at all!
How was that possible?!
With their perception, they could clearly sense even a mosquito flying a thousand meters away.
And yet, when these three had approached, they hadn't sensed a thing!
Little did they know.
Beerus and Whis were both gods.
Their God Ki was simply beyond the perception of ordinary Saiyans.
As for Lin Fan,
as the Saiyan Progenitor, he could conceal his aura perfectly.
Not a trace of it leaked out.
