Whis swung the Angel Staff in his hand.
He gently tapped Son Goku with it.
A soft white light instantly enveloped Son Goku's entire body.
A warm current surged through every inch of Son Goku's body.
The strength and energy he had just exhausted were restored to their peak in the blink of an eye.
Son Goku jumped up in delight.
He swung his fists, feeling the power coursing through him.
His face was alight with excitement.
"Whoa!"
"That's amazing!"
"All my strength is back!"
Whis watched Son Goku's excitement, then turned to Beerus beside him.
A teasing smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Beerus."
"You went much easier on him this time than you usually do."
"If this had been before,"
"Son Goku would probably have been reduced to ashes by now."
Beerus was just about to argue with Whis.
But his gaze was suddenly drawn to the Mango Cake hidden behind Whis.
The golden cake looked incredibly tempting.
Beerus's eyes lit up at once.
He had lived for so long,
yet he had never seen such an exquisite dessert.
Beerus pointed at the cake behind Whis and asked,
"Hey!"
"What's that thing behind you?"
"It looks... like it might be delicious."
When Whis heard Beerus, he hurriedly hid the cake even more carefully.
Hugging it tightly, he shook his head.
"This is mine."
"I'm not giving you any."
Beerus narrowed his eyes.
A faint murderous aura spread through the air.
He stared at Whis and said coldly,
"Whis."
"I hate it when people lie to me."
"You'd better hand over the cake."
Seeing this, Whis sighed helplessly.
He knew what Beerus was like.
If he refused, Beerus might really lose his temper.
Reluctantly, Whis handed over the Mango Cake.
Bulma chimed in at just the right moment.
She added with a smile,
"Lord Beerus."
"This is Earth's Mango Cake."
"It's super delicious!"
After speaking, Bulma clapped her hands.
The fruit cake shop owner nearby hurriedly pushed over a cart piled with cakes.
All kinds of cakes were stacked on the cart.
There were strawberry, chocolate, and mango cakes.
Bulma pointed to the cart and said to Beerus,
"Lord Beerus."
"You can have as much cake as you want."
"There's plenty to go around!"
Beerus stared at the cart piled high with cakes, his eyes wide.
He eagerly grabbed a piece of Mango Cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next second,
a look of unparalleled satisfaction spread across Beerus's face.
"Delicious!"
"This is so good!"
"Earth really is a treasure trove!"
"This cake is more delicious than any dessert I've ever had!"
Shouting as he went, Beerus rushed over to the cake cart.
He completely ignored the shop owner, who had jumped in fright.
His eyes shining, he looked at Bulma and asked excitedly,
"These cakes..."
"Can I really eat all of them?"
Bulma smiled and nodded.
"Of course!"
"Help yourself!"
Once he had her permission,
Beerus no longer cared about maintaining the dignity of a God of Destruction.
He devoured the cakes.
He kept exclaiming with satisfaction as he ate.
He just couldn't stop.
Watching Beerus lose himself in the food, Bulma's lips curled into a slight smile.
She thought to herself,
Just as I thought.
No matter what kind of deity they are,
if you win over their stomach, you can handle anything.
Whis and Beerus are both foodies.
With food this delicious, I can keep them on my side.
As for Lin Fan,
he seems easy to get along with.
He probably won't destroy Earth for no reason.
Whis looked at Beerus, who had completely succumbed to the cakes, and shook his head helplessly.
He turned and walked over to Son Goku.
Then he said to him,
"Son Goku."
"Lin Fan and I made a bet."
"I chose you as the one I'll train."
"I'll help you become stronger."
"I'll help you completely master the power of Super Saiyan God."
"Are you willing?"
Son Goku's eyes lit up at once.
He agreed without hesitation.
"I am!"
"I've dreamed of getting stronger!"
"And..."
"I want to have a proper fight with Vegeta, too!"
"To see which of us is the strongest warrior in the universe!"
Everyone spent another hour aboard the luxurious cruise ship.
After eating their fill,
Lin Fan, Beerus, and Whis took a large amount of Earth food with them.
They led Son Goku and Vegeta toward the God of Destruction Realm.
A few minutes later,
they arrived in the God of Destruction Realm.
At the sight of this beautiful world,
Son Goku and Vegeta couldn't help but brighten.
The sky here was a pale purple.
Mountains stretched across the distance.
The air was so fresh it hardly seemed real.
"Whoa!"
"So this is the God of Destruction Realm?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"No wonder it's where the gods live!"
Son Goku couldn't help exclaiming in admiration.
Vegeta said nothing,
but his eyes were filled with wonder as well.
Watching them gawk like they had never seen the world before, Beerus remarked,
"Earth really is a remarkable planet."
"It managed to change you Saiyans, who used to be so violent, into this."
Hearing that, Vegeta gave a cold snort.
He didn't argue.
Son Goku scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.
Whis smiled and chimed in,
"That's right."
"Earth didn't just change them."
"It seems to have changed you, too, Beerus."
Beerus glared at Whis, pretending to be angry.
"Whis!"
"Are you asking for a beating?"
Whis hurriedly laughed it off and changed the subject.
Beerus didn't press him further.
He glanced at Son Goku and Vegeta, left them with a few words, then turned and walked away with his food.
"Train hard."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"The day you two compete to become the strongest warriors in Universe 7."
Son Goku clenched his fists.
His face was full of excitement.
"Don't worry!"
"I'll train hard!"
"I'll completely master the power of Super Saiyan God!"
Vegeta, however, had noticed Beerus's mention of "Universe 7."
His brows furrowed slightly.
He thought to himself,
Universe 7?
Could it be...
That besides the universe we're in...
"Are there other universes, too?"
Whis turned to look at Lin Fan.
He spoke to Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan."
"Remember our agreement."
"See you in a week."
"At Bulma's birthday party."
Lin Fan nodded.
"No problem."
The agreement had actually come about because Bulma had suggested it earlier.
She told everyone that her birthday was in a week.
Everyone was to return to Earth and attend her birthday party.
Lin Fan and Whis had discussed it and decided to use the occasion.
They would have Son Goku and Vegeta spar.
It would be a way to assess how much their strength had improved over the week.
However,
this would only be a friendly match.
It wouldn't decide who was the strongest warrior in Universe 7.
After finishing, Whis led Son Goku toward a training area in the God of Destruction Realm.
"Son Goku."
"Come with me."
"I'll take you to the training grounds."
Son Goku answered and hurried after him.
Before you continue
