"Hey, Whis, do you think this guy looks like Champa?" Beerus asked with a grin.
"Heh heh. Now that you mention it, Lord Beerus, they really are about the same size." Whis nodded.
"We've found our first candidate." Beerus was very pleased with Majin Buu's appearance.
"Majin Buu is indeed very powerful, and he also has all sorts of unusual abilities. Perhaps he really could stand out in the God of Destruction selection." Whis offered his assessment.
"Mm, not bad." Beerus drew a deep breath.
After waking up, Majin Buu looked around in every direction.
Of course, Majin Buu immediately spotted Beerus and Whis standing opposite him.
"I'm hungry. What should I turn you into?" Majin Buu patted his belly. "Chocolate, maybe."
As soon as he said this, the antenna on Majin Buu's head flashed with purple-white flames.
The purple-white flames swiftly spread toward Beerus.
Beerus casually waved a hand.
"Thwack!"
Beerus slapped the purple-white flames away.
Majin Buu's eyes widened.
My move always works.
Why didn't it work on this Cat Person?
"Looks like I'll have to give him a good thrashing. Otherwise, he won't listen." Beerus snorted.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Beerus appeared right in front of Majin Buu.
Majin Buu's expression grew unusually grave.
"Thud!"
Majin Buu punched at Beerus.
"Smack!"
Beerus raised a single finger and effortlessly caught Majin Buu's fist.
"Not bad. That's a decent punch—at least much stronger than that Frieza guy." Beerus nodded in satisfaction.
Majin Buu stared at him in shock.
He caught my punch with just one finger?
Majin Buu quickly retreated.
"Psssh!"
The next moment, streams of white vapor burst from the vents in Majin Buu's body.
Majin Buu pushed his energy to its limit.
"Wah-yah-yah!"
Majin Buu charged wildly at Beerus.
"Rat-a-tat!"
Majin Buu unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Beerus.
Beerus smoothly and effortlessly caught every attack with a single finger.
"Good, good. You're definitely worth training." Beerus was becoming more and more pleased.
"Thud!"
Then Beerus slapped him, flattening Majin Buu into a meat patty.
"Now let's see how well you can regenerate." Beerus grinned.
"Smack!"
It took Majin Buu quite a while to restore himself from a flattened patty to his chubby shape.
"Huff, huff..."
Majin Buu panted heavily, overcome by fear.
"Hey, chubby, you did well enough. You're the one." Beerus called to Buu.
Majin Buu looked utterly bewildered.
What do you mean, I'm the one?
What are you talking about?
"Come with me," Beerus said.
Majin Buu was even more confused.
Where are you taking me?
"Let's go, Whis," Beerus said with a smile.
"Of course, Lord Beerus." Whis nodded. The Crystal Ball on his Staff flashed with light, which struck Majin Buu.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Whis, Beerus, and Majin Buu became a dazzling streak of light and shot into the Void, vanishing in an instant.
World of the Supreme Kai.
"How is it, Supreme Kai?" Kibito asked cautiously.
"Let me look again... That Cat Person is no ordinary being..." The Supreme Kai's expression grew more and more grave. He rubbed his eyes and once again looked toward Earth.
All the Supreme Kai could see was an empty shell.
Majin Buu, that Cat Person, and that strange blue elf had all disappeared.
"They're gone!" Cold sweat streamed down the Supreme Kai's face.
"So... the universe is about to face utter devastation..." Kibito cried out.
The Supreme Kai's face was as white as a sheet.
In outer space.
When Majin Buu saw how quickly Whis could fly, his expression turned remarkably complicated.
Who were these people?
Majin Buu had originally planned to take the opportunity to absorb Beerus.
But after sensing how powerful his opponent was, he had no choice but to set that idea aside for the time being.
He would observe them first.
"Hey, chubby, let me explain. In two days, I'm planning to take you to compete for the position of God of Destruction. Don't embarrass me," Beerus told Buu.
Buu blinked, looking utterly bewildered.
"Whis... I'm starting to think this guy's a bit stupid. Do you think he can handle it?" Beerus had finally noticed the problem.
"With proper guidance, it shouldn't be a problem. Let's see if he can stand out in the selection first," Whis suggested.
"You're right." Beerus nodded.
Majin Buu bared his teeth, resisting the urge to absorb Beerus.
Who are you calling stupid?
Universe 10, Rumsshi Planet.
Kusu, the Angel of Universe 10, had also received the message from the Grand Priest.
"A God of Destruction selection for the New Universe?" Rumsshi was taken aback. "Kusu, hurry and see who would be a suitable candidate."
"We should ask the Supreme Kai," Kusu suggested after a moment's thought.
"Ask that Gowasu fellow?" Rumsshi frowned.
"Yes. After all, Lord Gowasu is in charge of the mortals in our Universe 10." Kusu smiled. "I'm sure Lord Gowasu can give us better information... If I had to find someone myself, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"Then let's go." Rumsshi nodded without objecting.
Universe 10, World of the Supreme Kai.
Gowasu was drinking tea.
Across from him stood a young man with green skin, looking extremely respectful.
"Zamasu, North Kai!" Gowasu suddenly said.
"That is me, Supreme Kai!" the young man with green skin hurriedly replied.
"Good. I hear you've kept the northern part of the universe running smoothly." Gowasu nodded in approval.
"You flatter me, Supreme Kai. It's my duty," Zamasu replied.
"Would you like to become a Supreme Kai?" Gowasu suddenly asked.
Zamasu: "..."
That was quite a sudden turn.
"I wouldn't dare!" Zamasu cried in alarm and hurriedly dropped to his knees.
"Hahaha, don't be afraid. I mean no harm." Gowasu chuckled. "The truth is, I'm getting rather old and should retire. So lately, I've been looking for a new Supreme Kai to take over my position."
