Beerus: A Tail?

"We'd better hurry down," Whis suggested. "We're currently higher up than the Grand Priest. Do you think that's appropriate, Lord Beerus?"

Beerus shuddered and immediately came to his senses, hurriedly descending from the sky.

Whis followed, rapidly flying down as well.

Majin Buu, however, remained floating in the air, showing no intention of coming down.

Beerus felt like everything was going wrong.

The fat guy was pretty powerful.

But he was also an idiot.

I could hardly imagine whether this guy would even be chosen as a God of Destruction if he won...

"Hey, hurry up and get down here!" Beerus bared his teeth and called quietly to Majin Buu in the air.

Majin Buu snorted and pretended not to hear him.

Beerus: "..."

"Whoosh!"

Beerus went over, grabbed Majin Buu by the arm, and brought him rapidly down from the sky.

Then Beerus pressed down on Majin Buu's head, forcing his face flat against the ground.

"I'm very sorry, Grand Priest. Our contestant here... is a little slow to react!" Beerus hurriedly explained.

"More than a little slow to react... I'm afraid his intelligence is cause for concern," the Grand Priest said with a smile.

"What does it mean, 'intelligence is cause for concern'?" Majin Buu's face was pressed firmly against the ground, but he had still heard the Grand Priest and couldn't help asking.

Beerus: "..."

Whis sighed heavily beside them.

Champa tried to hold back his laughter, his face turning red.

Wakakakaka!

Beerus, you idiot. Where did you find this clown?

"It means you look good and handsome," Beerus said through clenched teeth.

Hearing that, Majin Buu immediately grinned happily.

Heh heh, I'm really handsome!

Beerus breathed a sigh of relief.

The Grand Priest paid Beerus no further attention.

"You don't need to kneel anymore. Get up," the Grand Priest said.

"Thank you, Grand Priest." Beerus nodded and respectfully stood up.

Beerus was afraid Majin Buu would cause trouble here.

If this guy turned the Grand Priest into chocolate...

I figured I'd die a horrible death.

I'd better keep an eye on him.

So Beerus held tightly onto Majin Buu's arm and took him over to Universe 6 to visit.

"Beerus, you finally woke up? Didn't you say last time that you were going to sleep for more than forty years?" Champa grinned.

"Hmph, enough nonsense. Something this important is happening, of course I'd come," Beerus snorted.

"Looks like you're pretty confident, Beerus," Champa said with a smile.

"Of course. Look at my contestant. Doesn't he look a lot like you?" Beerus teased.

Champa: "..."

"We don't look alike at all! What's wrong with your eyes?" Champa snapped angrily.

"We have similar builds, don't we?" Beerus said with a laugh.

"Our builds aren't alike at all!" Champa retorted.

"Then who are you sending out to compete?" Beerus asked curiously, glancing at Hit and Lu Fan behind Champa.

"Of course it's Hit. That guy's just here to watch," Champa snorted.

"Oh? A tail?" Beerus was slightly taken aback when he noticed the tail wrapped around Lu Fan's waist. He couldn't help asking, "Is this kid a Saiyan?"

"No..." Champa replied, feeling a little guilty.

I absolutely can't let Beerus find out that this kid was originally from Universe 7...

Fortunately, Beerus didn't think much of it.

So what if he was a Saiyan?

So what if he was from our universe?

Besides, Frieza had practically wiped out the Saiyan race.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Suddenly, three dazzling beams of light appeared in the sky once again.

Lu Fan looked up.

This time, Universe 10, Universe 11, and Universe 2 had arrived.

The Angels, Gods of Destruction, and contestants from all three universes appeared almost simultaneously.

Lu Fan recognized all the people who had arrived from the three universes.

But what made him regretful was...

Jiren hadn't come.

The one who'd come was Toppo, the candidate God of Destruction.

That's right!

Jiren didn't like the idea of becoming a God of Destruction.

If he wanted the position, would Toppo even have a chance?

The contestant from Universe 10...

Was Zamasu.

Zamasu was competing to become a God of Destruction?

Then again... Zamasu really was suited to becoming a God of Destruction.

He wasn't suited to being a Supreme Kai.

The guy was too obsessed with his ideals and always wanted to eliminate all mortals.

Uh... He didn't seem suited to being a God of Destruction, either.

Gods of Destruction weren't supposed to wipe out all mortals.

As for the contestant from Universe 2...

He was way too fat.

How ugly!

Lu Fan kept his thoughts to himself.

The Angels and Gods of Destruction from the three universes brought their contestants down from the sky and knelt to pay their respects to the Grand Priest.

Lu Fan rested his chin in his hand and thought for a moment.

It seemed Grand Zeno hadn't come this time.

That made sense. This was only about choosing a God of Destruction for the New Universe.

It didn't seem to matter much whether Grand Zeno came or not.

The Grand Priest could basically decide something like this on his own.

"Whoosh!"

The Angel and God of Destruction from Universe 4 appeared in the sky next.

They had no contestant with them.

Quite a few people present were taken aback.

Why hadn't Universe 4 brought a contestant?

What did they come here for without one?

Kornick, the Angel of Universe 4, and Quitela, its God of Destruction, knelt to pay their respects to the Grand Priest.

The Grand Priest nodded slightly, told the two to rise, then glanced at Damon, the insect on the ground who was smaller than an ant, without saying anything.

Damon looked shocked.

He actually spotted me.

Could someone this tiny really be seen?

"Beerus, weren't you asleep? When did you wake up?" Quitela stepped forward and asked Beerus with a smile.

"Hmph, nosy as ever. Why don't you mind your own business?" Beerus snorted. "Where's your contestant? Couldn't find a suitable one, so you just came to watch?"

"Think whatever you like," Quitela replied with a mysterious smile.

Next, the Angels and Gods of Destruction from several other universes arrived with their contestants.

Except for the Gods of Destruction from Universe 1, Universe 5, Universe 8, and Universe 12, all the other universes' Gods of Destruction and Angels had arrived, bringing their contestants with them.

"Now then, all the universes participating in the New Universe selection have arrived. Please wait for a moment in the stands," the Grand Priest said, sweeping his hand lightly.

"Whoosh!"

A circular set of stands appeared above the arena.

"Let's go," Champa said.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Gods brought their contestants up to the stands.

The Grand Priest floated high above them, looking down at all the Gods and people gathered there.

"The universes participating in the New Universe selection are Universe 2, Universe 3, Universe 4, Universe 6, Universe 7, Universe 9, Universe 10, and Universe 11, for a total of eight universes and eight contestants," the Grand Priest announced. "This God of Destruction selection will use a round-robin format. When your universe is called, its contestant should come to the arena to compete one-on-one."
