"Whis, you want to see who our universe has chosen to compete for the position of God of Destruction, right?" Vados seemed to have already figured out what Whis meant.
"Hoh-hoh, you know me so well, big sister." Whis smiled and nodded.
"Then take a look for yourself." Vados used her Staff to show Whis Lu Fan, Hit, and Frost.
It was worth mentioning that Frost had already woken up.
Whis looked them over one by one.
Beerus leaned in for a closer look, too, even though he couldn't see anything.
"All right, I understand. Thanks, big sister. That'll be all." Whis nodded.
Smack!
The call ended.
"So, who are they?" Beerus asked.
"One of them looks a lot like Mr. Frieza, and I don't recognize another one... The other, the purple-skinned one, is said to be Universe 6's number-one assassin. His name is Hit," Whis mused.
"Hit? Is he strong?" Beerus was taken aback.
"He seems capable of killing Mr. Cooler in an instant," Whis said.
Beerus was speechless.
Beerus felt awful.
"Of course, that's only my guess... We'd need to investigate further to know for sure," Whis added.
"So, of the three Champa chose, the one named Hit is probably competing to become God of Destruction." Beerus furrowed his brow.
"Probably." Whis nodded. "But... the other one..."
"What about the other one?" Beerus asked.
"Never mind... I'd better not say. I can't judge him yet." Whis shook his head. "After all, we're in different universes."
"You mean... the other one is even stronger?" Beerus asked in surprise.
"Perhaps." Whis nodded slightly.
Beerus was speechless.
Beerus felt awful.
If the other one was stronger than the assassin Hit, then Frieza's brother Cooler stood even less of a chance.
Universe 6 was so competitive...
And that was without even considering the other universes.
"No, forget Cooler. We need to find someone stronger, and fast," Beerus said urgently.
"We're not going to find Cooler?" Whis asked.
"No! Frieza's brother isn't good enough!" Beerus bared his teeth. "If I take him there and he ends up at the bottom, I'll lose face in front of all the other Gods of Destruction... I'm the strongest God of Destruction, but the person I bring along would be the weakest..."
Just thinking about it made Beerus cringe.
In an instant, Beerus ruled Cooler out.
Poor Cooler was still waiting eagerly on his planet.
"By the way, Lord Beerus, the Oracle Fish said that an extremely powerful mortal will be born in our universe in more than forty years," Whis said.
Beerus was speechless.
Beerus didn't want to say anything.
"Do you think the Grand Priest will give us forty years?" Beerus snapped.
After saying this, Beerus's eyes darted about, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
"I've got it! Why don't we travel through time and bring someone back from forty years in the future?" Beerus asked excitedly.
Whis sighed.
"Is that not allowed?" Beerus's heart sank.
"Leaving aside whether the Oracle Fish's prophecy is accurate... If it is, and the Grand Priest finds out, we'll probably be punished." Whis shook his head. "After all, traveling through time and changing history is forbidden in the Realm of the Gods. For now, only the Supreme Kai can travel through time, and only to observe the universe."
"If we can't do this or that, then hurry up and find someone suitable!" Beerus urged.
"Mm, I'm looking." Whis nodded and held up his Staff. Using the Crystal Ball on it, he searched aimlessly across the universe.
It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Although Angels could do almost anything,
even an Angel couldn't find the most powerful mortal in an entire universe.
Of course, given enough time, he might be able to find one.
But that would be exhausting, even for an Angel.
"Whis, what was it you just said?" Beerus suddenly remembered something and looked at him.
"What, Lord Beerus?" Whis asked, taken aback.
"You said traveling through time and changing history was forbidden in the Realm of the Gods. Then you said something else..." Beerus's eyes lit up. "Right, the Supreme Kai! You mentioned the Supreme Kai!"
"Yes, I did mention the Supreme Kai," Whis replied with a nod.
"Let's ask the Supreme Kai. He's in charge of the mortals in the universe, so he should know which one is the strongest." Beerus grinned.
"Exactly," Whis replied. "Let's go to the World of the Supreme Kai."
Whoosh!
Whis and Beerus streaked through space in an arc of brilliant light, speeding toward the World of the Supreme Kai.
Cooler waited and waited until the moment had passed, but Beerus never showed up.
The World of the Supreme Kai.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito gazed out at the distant stars.
Their eyes were fixed on Earth in the Solar System.
"Everything's safe!" Kibito said.
"Mm. For now, the area where Majin Buu is sealed is completely safe." The Supreme Kai nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's keep him sealed forever. Hopefully, he'll never get out," Kibito said.
"Indeed. That demon! It would be best if he died inside the seal..." the Supreme Kai said.
"Then we'd have nothing to worry about." Kibito sighed.
As they spoke, a dazzling streak of light, like a shooting star, sped toward them.
"Huh? What's that, Supreme Kai?" Kibito asked, startled, pointing at the streak in the sky.
The Supreme Kai shook his head in confusion.
Soon, they saw Beerus and Whis appear in the sky.
"It's a person!" the Supreme Kai said gravely.
"You've got to be kidding! How could a mortal break into the World of the Supreme Kai?" Kibito cried.
Smack!
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the Supreme Kai and Kibito, Whis and Beerus slowly landed in front of them.
"Hey, Supreme Kai," Beerus called out.
"Who are you?" the Supreme Kai asked warily.
"I'm Beerus, the God of Destruction," Beerus introduced himself.
"What God of Destruction? I've never heard of one." The Supreme Kai shook his head firmly and demanded, "Why have you come to the World of the Supreme Kai?"
Beerus was speechless.
Whis was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other, at a loss for words.
"Whis, what's going on? Has this Supreme Kai never heard of us Gods of Destruction?" Beerus asked Whis in a low voice.
"Ahem... It seems the Grand Supreme Kai died a long time ago, and this Supreme Kai lost the knowledge passed down to him. He doesn't know about a lot of things," Whis mused.
