Grand Priest, Drink Cola

The Grand Priest glanced in this direction.

"You're a human, isn't it only natural to kneel before a god!" Champa was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his nose. "Hurry up, Lord Grand Priest is looking over here."

"Lord Champa, who is that beside you?" the Grand Priest asked Champa with a smile.

"Ah... his name is Lu Fan... he's an excellent beverage blender, he wanted to come over and see the excitement..." Champa wanted to cry, his entire body trembling.

"Greetings, Lord Grand Priest, my name is Lu Fan." Lu Fan took over the conversation, speaking neither servilely nor overbearingly. "I have heard that you are the chief steward of all the gods in the universe, and having admired you for a long time, I came specifically to observe..."

The Grand Priest: "..."

Admire if you must...

But what is meant by "observe"?

"Kid, shut your mouth! Do you have any idea what you're saying?" Champa regretted it to death.

I really shouldn't have brought this kid along.

No, wait, it was Vados who wanted to bring him.

Champa glared at Vados.

"Lord Grand Priest, this is a Cola I crafted. It's such a hot day, why not have a taste?" As Lu Fan spoke, he raised his hand, and a canned Cola appeared in his palm.

"Cola? I have heard a little about it. I heard Universe 7 produced a very delicious beverage; so it was created by Mr. Lu Fan." The Grand Priest smiled. "Very well, I shall have a taste."

"Lord Champa, hurry and deliver it to Lord Grand Priest." Lu Fan handed the Cola in his hand to Champa.

Champa: "..."

Why don't you go yourself?

Why are you making me do it?

"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go. As a human, facing the god of the highest status directly, I feel quite a bit of pressure," Lu Fan explained with a straight face.

Champa: "..."

Vados: "..."

The Grand Priest: "..."

Even Hit was wiping away sweat vigorously.

You say you feel a lot of pressure facing the god of the highest status...

The one under pressure is me, isn't it?

I'm the one kneeling here.

Yet you're standing perfectly straight.

Who would believe you're under pressure?

After hesitating for a second, Champa immediately took the canned Cola.

The moment Champa took the can, he was stunned for another two seconds.

What is this thing?

Why have I never seen this kind of packaging before?

Just how many secrets is this kid hiding?

But Champa didn't dare to think too much now; he hurriedly held the can of Cola, flew rapidly in front of the Grand Priest, and presented it with both hands.

The Grand Priest picked up the can and pulled the tab gently.

"Pshhh..."

The sound of carbon dioxide bubbles emanated from the can.

"This design is quite interesting, and very eco-friendly," the Grand Priest praised.

Lu Fan: "..."

Is "eco-friendly" really a word you use?

The Grand Priest silently took a sip of the Cola.

"It is indeed delicious," the Grand Priest sighed. "No wonder so many people line up on the Gourmet Planet of Universe 7. Mr. Lu Fan's talent in this area is truly remarkable."

"Lord Grand Priest is too kind," Lu Fan nodded.

"How many more cans of this Cola do you have?" the Grand Priest asked suddenly, looking at Lu Fan.

"I have plenty," Lu Fan replied. "I came here this time wanting to give my Cola to the participating contestants as prizes."

"Very well, then let's give each of the winning contestants a bottle of Cola as a special reward," the Grand Priest mused.

"Understood." Lu Fan did not object.

Champa: "..."

Vados didn't speak, merely wiping the fragrant sweat that had broken out on her face.

However, upon second thought, Vados realized that for the participating contestants, this was indeed a very decent reward.

After all, the winning contestant was not originally entitled to any additional rewards.

The reward was merely the position of God of Destruction for the New Universe.

The person who truly received the reward was the God of Destruction from their original universe.

The God of Destruction of the original universe would receive seven Super Dragon Balls and could have any wish granted.

"Is it only one bottle per person? Grand Priest..." Vados paused, then suddenly asked.

"The tournament has decided to adopt a one-on-one elimination format... Currently, there are contestants from a total of 8 universes competing for the position of God of Destruction," the Grand Priest replied.

"Eh? Grand Priest... are only 8 universes participating in the selection?" Champa was slightly stunned, feeling puzzled.

Why were the other four universes not participating in the selection?

"The Gods of Destruction of Universe 1, Universe 5, Universe 8, and Universe 12 said they wanted to focus on their work, so they are not participating in this selection," the Grand Priest smiled. "This tournament is purely voluntary; I did not force any of you to participate."

"Focus on their work?" Champa wiped away sweat.

The Gods of Destruction of those four universes were truly idiots.

Iwān, Yalāk, Liger, and Jin!

You four idiots!

You intentionally claimed you wanted to focus on your work just to make the Grand Priest look at you in a different light, right?

It's better that you didn't participate!

That way, our chances are much higher.

Champa expressed his disdain for the actions of those 4 Gods of Destruction.

"That kind of work ethic is indeed worth learning from for a new God of Destruction," Lu Fan sighed.

The Grand Priest looked at Lu Fan with deep meaning and nodded thoughtfully.

This human is quite interesting.

You actually understand the true meaning of a God of Destruction's existence.

"Whoosh!"

Just as they were speaking, a brilliant flame of light flashed in the air above the circular platform.

The light dissipated, revealing three faces familiar to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan recognized them at a glance; the ones who had arrived were Whis and Beerus from Universe 7.

And the contestant they brought with them...

Was actually Majin Buu!

Lu Fan patted his own head.

The timeline didn't quite match up.

At this point in time, Son Goku was still just a little brat who hadn't even embarked on his journey to find the Dragon Balls yet.

How did Majin Buu pop up?

Majin Buu at this time should still be sealed inside the Demon Egg.

I see...

It's highly likely that guy Beerus let him out.

Majin Buu?

Hit?

Who is more powerful between the two?

Lu Fan favored Hit.

With Hit's strength, he could definitely defeat Majin Buu with ease.

However, it was hard to say for sure.

Majin Buu knew too many tricks; he might just turn Hit into chocolate and eat him.

Of course, these were all just Lu Fan's guesses.

As for the outcome, that would depend on their final match.

High above in the sky.

Beerus also looked down below.

"It's that guy Champa; they arrived earlier than us," Beerus mused, then frowned, feeling puzzled. "That's not right. Why did they bring two contestants? Wasn't it said that each universe could only choose one contestant to compete for the position of God of Destruction?"

"Perhaps... the other person is just here to watch the excitement?" Whis guessed.

Beerus: "..."
