"Hey, Whis, don't you think this guy looks a bit like Champa?" Beerus said with a laugh.
"Ho ho, now that Lord Beerus mentions it, their physiques are indeed quite comparable." Whis nodded.
"The preliminary candidate is set as this guy." Beerus was very satisfied with Majin Buu's form.
"Indeed, Majin Buu possesses formidable strength, and his various abilities are also quite unique; perhaps he really could stand out in the God of Destruction selection." Whis commented.
"Mm, not bad." Beerus took a deep breath.
After waking up, Majin Buu looked around in every direction.
Majin Buu naturally spotted Beerus and Whis standing opposite him at a glance.
"I'm hungry, what should I turn you into?" Majin Buu patted his own belly. "Chocolate, maybe."
After saying this, the antenna on Majin Buu's head flashed with a purple-white glow.
The purple-white glow rapidly surged toward Beerus.
Beerus gave a light wave of his hand.
"Bang!"
The purple-white glow was swatted away by Beerus with a single slap.
Majin Buu's eyes widened.
This move of mine has always worked without fail.
Why didn't it have any effect in front of this cat-man?
"It seems I'll have to give him a good thrashing, otherwise he won't be very obedient." Beerus snorted.
"Swish!"
In an instant, Beerus appeared directly in front of Majin Buu.
Majin Buu's expression turned exceptionally grave.
"Bang!"
Majin Buu threw a punch straight at Beerus.
"Snap!"
Beerus extended a single finger and easily caught the fist Majin Buu had attacked with.
"Not bad, the force is decent; at the very least, it's much stronger than that guy Frieza." Beerus nodded in satisfaction.
Majin Buu wore a look of shock.
Did this guy catch my fist with just one finger?
Majin Buu quickly retreated backward.
"Hiss!"
The next moment, streams of white gas erupted from the vents on Majin Buu's body.
Majin Buu raised his energy to its absolute limit.
"Waaahhh!"
Majin Buu charged madly toward Beerus.
"Da da da!"
Majin Buu unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Beerus.
Beerus used a single finger to easily and smoothly block every one of Majin Buu's attacks.
"Not bad, not bad indeed; he truly has potential worth cultivating." Beerus grew increasingly satisfied.
"Bang!"
Following that, Beerus slapped him, directly flattening Majin Buu into a meat patty.
"Now, let me see your regenerative ability." Beerus grinned.
"Snap!"
It took quite a while for Majin Buu to struggle and restore his body from the meat patty state back to his chubby form.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Majin Buu gasped for air, feeling a wave of terror.
"Hey, fatty, your performance was decent enough; you're the one." Beerus called out to Buu.
Majin Buu looked completely bewildered.
What do you mean, I'm the one?
What are you talking about?
"Come with me." Beerus beckoned.
Majin Buu was even more confused.
Where are you taking me?
"Let's go, Whis," Beerus said with a smile.
"Very well, Lord Beerus." Whis nodded, and the crystal ball atop his Staff flashed with light, striking Majin Buu.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Whis, Beerus, and Majin Buu transformed into a brilliant streak of light, plunging rapidly into the void and vanishing without a trace.
The Sacred World of the Kai.
"How is it, Supreme Kai?" Kibito asked cautiously.
"Let me look again... this cat-man is no simple being..." The Supreme Kai's expression grew increasingly grave; he rubbed his eyes and looked toward the direction of Earth once more.
All the Supreme Kai saw was an empty shell.
Majin Buu, that cat-man, and the strange blue sprite had all disappeared.
"They're gone!" Cold sweat broke out on the Supreme Kai's face.
"Does this mean... the universe is about to face a catastrophe?" Kibito gasped.
The Supreme Kai's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
In deep space.
Seeing how incredibly fast Whis was flying, Majin Buu's expression became remarkably complex.
Who exactly were these people?
Majin Buu had originally intended to seize the opportunity to absorb Beerus.
However, after sensing the sheer power of the other party, he had no choice but to set that thought aside for the time being.
He would observe them first and decide later.
"Hey, fatty, let me give you a quick heads-up: in two days, I plan to take you to compete for the position of God of Destruction. I hope you won't embarrass me," Beerus said to Buu.
Buu blinked, a look of confusion washing over his face.
"Whis... I suddenly feel like this guy is a bit of an idiot. Do you think it'll work?" Beerus had finally noticed the issue as well.
"With proper guidance, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Let's focus on him standing out in the competition first," Whis suggested.
"You're right," Beerus nodded.
Majin Buu bared his teeth, suppressing the urge to absorb Beerus right then and there.
Who are you calling an idiot?
Universe 10, Planet Rumsshi.
Kusu, the Angel of Universe 10, had also received the message sent by the Grand Priest.
"A competition for the God of Destruction of the New Universe?" Rumsshi was stunned. "Kusu, hurry and take a look—who would be suitable to send to compete for the God of Destruction?"
"Let's go ask the Supreme Kai," Kusu suggested to Rumsshi after a moment of thought.
"Go ask that guy Gowasu?" Rumsshi frowned.
"Yes, after all, Lord Gowasu is the one responsible for overseeing the mortals of our Universe 10," Kusu smiled. "I believe Lord Gowasu will provide us with better intelligence... if I were to search for someone myself, it would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Then let's go." Rumsshi nodded, offering no objection.
Universe 10, Sacred World of the Kai.
Gowasu was drinking tea.
Opposite Gowasu stood a young man with green skin, waiting respectfully.
"North Kai Zamasu!" Gowasu said suddenly.
"That is this humble one, Supreme Kai!" the green-skinned young man replied hurriedly.
"Not bad. I hear you have managed the North Area with great order," Gowasu nodded in satisfaction.
"You flatter me, Supreme Kai. This is merely my duty," Zamasu replied.
"Do you wish to become a Supreme Kai?" Gowasu asked abruptly.
Zamasu: "..."
That turn was far too sharp, wasn't it?
"I dare not!" Startled, Zamasu hurriedly knelt down.
"Hahaha, do not be afraid, I mean no harm," Gowasu said with a laugh. "The truth is, I am getting on in years and it is time for me to retire. That is why I have been searching for a new Supreme Kai to succeed me in my divine position for some time now."
