Meeting Lord Beerus

"I hear you call yourself the Emperor of the Universe?" Beerus asked with a smile.

Frieza shuddered instantly, pressing his head tightly against the ground, not daring to even draw a full breath.

"Fine, it doesn't matter. It's just a title; let it be Emperor of the Universe then." Beerus chuckled softly.

Seeing that Beerus had no intention of blaming him, Frieza felt his hanging heart finally drop.

"I came to find you because I want to know, in this universe, besides you, who else is more powerful than you?" Beerus asked.

Frieza was stunned for three seconds.

What does that mean?

Someone more powerful than me?

"Hahaha, that would naturally be Lord Beerus." Frieza laughed dryly.

"I am talking about mortals," Beerus said.

"Mortals..." Frieza was stunned again, unable to understand why Lord Beerus would ask such a thing.

"I might as well tell you: there is a New Universe that needs a God of Destruction, so I am looking for a suitable person to compete for the position." Beerus had no intention of hiding anything from Frieza and explained the situation simply.

Because after waking up this time, Beerus found that Frieza had handled things quite nicely.

Some of the planets he had originally intended to destroy had basically already been wiped out by Frieza.

In other words, Frieza had done quite a bit of work for Beerus.

Although Beerus had once had the thought of destroying Frieza, he had changed his mind for now.

Finding a suitable person to compete for God of Destruction came first.

That was the matter of utmost importance.

"Compete for God of Destruction in the New Universe?" Frieza's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Beerus, do you think I am suitable?"

"You won't do!" Beerus shook his head.

Frieza: "..."

Frieza felt his heart ache.

I am the Emperor of the Universe, after all.

Am I really not good enough?

"There are many, many people in other universes stronger than you, so I must find a mortal who surpasses you," Beerus mused. "I'll be honest with you: even if you went to compete for God of Destruction, you would only be an embarrassment to me."

Frieza sniffled, wanting to cry.

Am I really that weak?

"Is there anyone suitable? Think quickly," Beerus urged.

"Uh, Lord Beerus, I actually do have a suitable candidate." Frieza thought for a moment and immediately thought of someone.

"Oh? Who?" Beerus asked.

"My brother, Cooler!" Frieza hurriedly replied.

"Your brother?" Beerus rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"My brother Cooler has one more transformation than I do; his strength is far above mine," Frieza replied.

Rather than giving this spot to someone else, why not give it to my brother?

Although I hate my brother's way of doing things, he is, after all, one of our kin.

If someone from our race could serve as a God of Destruction...

Frieza began to let his imagination run wild.

If Cooler could take over as the God of Destruction of the New Universe, then with him looking out for me, I could fulfill my dreams within his universe.

My dream is to become the greatest merchant in this universe.

"Cooler, huh..." Beerus thought for a moment and ordered, "Have him come see me immediately."

"Yes, Lord Beerus," Frieza replied respectfully.

Subsequently, Frieza ordered his underlings to contact Cooler, telling him there was an important matter and that he needed to come to his planet immediately.

It was about the God of Destruction.

After receiving Frieza's message, Cooler set off at once.

"Lord Beerus, that guy Cooler is currently in the Eastern Universe; it will probably take 20 days to fly here..." Frieza hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"20 days?" Beerus felt a slight headache.

"That is quite a long time..." Whis sighed.

"Whis, if this doesn't work, let's just go find him ourselves. By the time he gets here, the soup will be cold," Beerus suggested.

"Very well, Lord Beerus," Whis nodded.

"Tell Cooler to stay where he is; we'll be there in about ten minutes," Beerus commanded Frieza.

"Yes, Lord Beerus," Frieza replied respectfully.

Tap!

Whis tapped his Staff lightly against the ground.

Whoosh!

Whis and Beerus transformed into a streak of light as brilliant as the stars, quickly vanishing into the void without a trace.

Frieza looked up at the two who had disappeared and immediately ran off to call Cooler.

"Cooler, you don't need to come over anymore," Frieza said.

"Frieza, what exactly is going on? What is this about a God of Destruction? Can you explain yourself clearly?" Cooler asked.

"Cooler, you are truly lucky," Frieza snorted. "Lord Beerus said he wants to select a God of Destruction for the New Universe, and I recommended you for the candidacy."

"Oh? Is that so?" Cooler had only heard a vague snippet of the conversation earlier, and Frieza hadn't explained it clearly.

Now that he heard this news, he felt his heart stir.

"Then why shouldn't I go over there?" Cooler asked, puzzled. "Did he change his mind?"

"No, Lord Beerus thinks you fly too slowly, so he decided to come find you himself. You must make a good impression," Frieza explained.

"Understood," Cooler nodded. "If I become the God of Destruction, you can do whatever you want in my universe."

"Hmph, that is exactly what I was thinking," Frieza nodded with a smile.

The two brothers shared a knowing smile.

Whoosh!

Brilliant flames of light erupted from Whis and Beerus as they sped toward the region where Cooler was located.

"Whis, what have you been doing all this time? Don't you know if there are any powerful mortals in our universe?" Beerus asked Whis.

"I really haven't paid attention to such things..." Whis shook his head.

Beerus: "..."

This guy Whis is truly unreliable.

As an Angel, couldn't you at least look into it properly?

"Do you think that Cooler will be up to the task?" Beerus was a bit uneasy.

"Well... let's wait until we see him to decide," Whis said.

"Damn it, if our Universe 7 ends up at the bottom of the rankings, it will be a total embarrassment," Beerus bared his teeth. "By the way, who is Universe 6 sending to compete for the God of Destruction position?"

"Let me ask," Whis replied.

After saying this, Whis immediately contacted Vados through his Staff.

"Sister, long time no see," Whis greeted with a smile.

"Oh, Whis. Has Lord Beerus woken up?" Vados asked with a smile.

"Yes, I had to wake him up... we cannot afford to neglect the Grand Priest's affairs," Whis chuckled.

"Indeed, indeed," Vados nodded.

Beerus: "..."

Whis, this guy is being far too honest.
