A World-Shaking Wager!

Whis held a piece of untasted cake in his hand.

He strolled leisurely in the direction of Vegeta and Lin Fan.

He had not been far away just moments ago.

Every word of Vegeta's loud request had reached his ears without exception.

This turn of events reminded him of the wager he had made with Lin Fan back in the God of Destruction Realm.

He had come over specifically to see how things were unfolding.

Whis arrived close by and remained silent.

He merely watched Vegeta, who was displaying an incredibly earnest attitude, with great interest.

The atmosphere on the deck quieted down instantly.

Son Gohan, Krillin, and the others looked at one another, none of them knowing what this Angel intended to do.

Whis studied Vegeta for a few seconds.

Only then did he shift his gaze toward Lin Fan.

A playful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Lin Fan."

"It seems you won't need to go looking for a trainee yourself."

"Hasn't one just delivered himself to your doorstep?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded with a smile.

"It certainly saves a lot of trouble."

Bulma stood to the side, completely bewildered by what she had heard.

She couldn't help but ask.

"Trainee?"

"What trainee?"

"What on earth are you all talking about?"

The others chimed in as well.

Their minds were currently filled with question marks.

Seeing this, Whis didn't bother to keep them in suspense.

He spoke directly, revealing the details of the wager.

"It is actually quite simple."

"Lin Fan and I made a bet."

"We each chose someone to train."

"We shall see whose trainee eventually becomes the strongest warrior in the universe."

Boom!

The moment Whis said this, the deck erupted into chaos.

The strongest warrior in the universe?

That was an incredibly massive wager!

Lin Fan continued where Whis left off, adding a remark of his own.

"I had already chosen Vegeta from the very beginning."

"I didn't expect him to come seeking me out himself."

"It has certainly saved me quite a bit of effort."

At these words, Vegeta's face turned bright red in an instant.

He clenched his fists tightly.

His heart was filled with speechlessness.

So, the humble request he had just made...

Was it completely unnecessary?

Lin Fan patted Vegeta on the shoulder.

His tone carried a hint of encouragement.

"Work hard."

"Do not disappoint me."

Vegeta took a deep breath.

He looked up at Lin Fan.

His gaze became incredibly resolute.

"To become the strongest warrior in the universe."

"That suits me perfectly!"

Seeing this, Whis narrowed his eyes slightly.

The smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

"Since you have chosen Vegeta."

"Then I shall choose Son Goku."

Whis calculated silently in his heart.

"Son Goku has already sensed the aura of a god."

"If I let him follow the path of evolving into a Super Saiyan God."

"He will definitely carve out a brand new path, unlike any other Saiyan."

Upon hearing that Whis had chosen Son Goku, Vegeta was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he trembled with excitement.

The corners of his mouth curled upward wildly.

The thing he wanted most was to have a fair and square fight with Son Goku.

To determine who was truly the best.

Now, it was perfect.

With Lin Fan's guidance.

He would definitely be able to surpass Son Goku!

Vegeta looked up at Son Goku, who was fighting high in the sky.

He secretly made up his mind.

"Son Goku!"

"Just you wait!"

"This time, I will definitely surpass you!"

The scene shifted to the high altitude.

The battle between Son Goku and Beerus was nearing its end.

Son Goku knew very well.

The gap between his strength and Beerus's was far too great.

Even with a portion of the Super Saiyan God's power.

He couldn't even scratch Beerus in the slightest.

But he did not give up.

He gritted his teeth.

He gathered all the energy in his body.

He quickly brought his hands together in front of him.

"Kamehameha!"

Son Goku let out a loud shout.

A deep blue energy wave instantly erupted from his palms.

Carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, it surged toward Beerus.

Beerus watched the incoming Kamehameha.

There was not a ripple of emotion on his face.

He merely raised his hand casually.

Utilizing a sliver of Destruction energy.

He easily caught Son Goku's attack.

The two energies collided.

Instantly forming a terrifying energy storm.

Son Goku was swept into the energy storm.

His body was nearly destroyed by this power.

Just as he was about to reach his limit.

Beerus snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap!

The energy storm dissipated in an instant.

Son Goku had exhausted all of his stamina and strength.

His body fell backward like a kite with its string cut.

He plummeted rapidly toward the luxury cruise ship below.

"Son Goku!"

Vegeta shouted.

He was the first to dash out.

Just as Son Goku was about to crash onto the deck.

He caught him in his arms.

Son Goku endured the intense pain racking his body.

He offered Vegeta a weak smile.

"Thanks."

Vegeta let out a cold snort.

His tone carried a hint of disdain.

"Hmph."

"Useless guy."

"You wasted such immense power."

"And still got beaten this badly."

Son Goku scratched his head.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Can't be helped."

"Beerus is too strong."

"The power of a God of Destruction is truly unfathomable."

Beerus descended slowly from the sky.

He landed steadily on the deck.

Everyone focused their gaze.

Beerus was completely unscathed.

It seemed that the battle just now hadn't consumed much of his strength at all.

Son Gohan, Krillin, and the others all gasped in unison.

Their faces were filled with shock.

The strength of a God of Destruction was simply too terrifying!

Bulma looked at the unharmed Beerus.

She couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

She asked cautiously.

"Lord Beerus."

"You... you aren't going to destroy the Earth, are you?"

Whis covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

He spoke to reassure Bulma.

"Rest assured."

"Beerus would not do such a thing."

After Whis finished speaking.

He stepped forward and walked in the direction of Son Goku.

Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed upon him.

Curious as to what he was about to do.

They saw Whis make a grasping motion with his right hand.

An Angel Staff emitting a faint glow instantly appeared in his hand.

Then.

Whis spoke to Vegeta, who was holding Son Goku.

"Vegeta."

"Step aside."

Vegeta nodded.

He obediently took two steps back.

He knew very well in his heart.

Whis, Lin Fan, and Beerus—these three individuals.

If they wanted to kill them or destroy the Earth.

It would only be a matter of an instant.

No one could stop them at all.

Everyone held their breath.

They watched Whis, who held the Angel Staff.

Waiting for his next move.
