Is That True?

There is no need to worry that God of Destruction Beerus will lose and go back on his word. As a foodie—ahem, I mean a god of integrity—he will certainly keep his promise!

God of Destruction Beerus could sense that the shriveled bean before him was quite extraordinary, so he pinched one and tossed it into his mouth, crunching away. His eyes snapped open. "Hmm, not bad at all. Fragrant, mellow, and quite chewy!"

With that, he tipped the entire small plate of Senzu Bean into his mouth in one go.

Seeing this, Sun Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling immensely smug. Heh, so what if you're a God of Destruction? You still fell for my trap!

The two of them continued to gorge themselves. By now, Sun Yu had reached his absolute limit. Fortunately, the situation on God of Destruction Beerus's side was even worse; the effects of the Senzu Bean had clearly taken hold, and his belly was distended to the point of bursting. He was relying entirely on sheer willpower to keep from admitting defeat.

Sun Yu looked at God of Destruction Beerus, whose food was practically rising up to his throat, and raised an eyebrow. "I say, if you can't handle it, just stop eating and concede already!"

If looks could kill, God of Destruction Beerus would have slaughtered Sun Yu a million times over in his mind. He was nothing but a weakling, a mere ant, yet he dared to repeatedly challenge his divine dignity. But if God of Destruction Beerus had to choose again, he would still accept Sun Yu's challenge without hesitation, because this food was simply too delicious!

At this moment, each of them had one plate of Takoyaki left on the table. That is to say, whoever finished their Takoyaki first would be the winner of this gourmet competition.

"Kid, I can see you're at your limit too. If you lose, I will ensure you die without a burial place!" God of Destruction Beerus growled these words from his throat, then reached out a trembling hand to pick up a piece of Takoyaki with a bamboo skewer.

The Takoyaki glistened with a golden, brilliant sheen, and a delicate fragrance wafted from it even from a distance. Yet, even with such unprecedented delicacies before him, God of Destruction Beerus had the desire to taste them but no strength to open his mouth, fearing that if he did, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from vomiting everything he had already eaten.

"It's rare to eat something this delicious; I cannot lose!" A cold glint flashed in God of Destruction Beerus's eyes as he shoved the Takoyaki into his mouth and tilted his head back, struggling to swallow it.

Sun Yu was not to be outdone; he skewered two pieces of Takoyaki at once and swallowed them in a single gulp.

Both of them slumped back into their chairs, their breathing becoming abnormally heavy.

"Kid, if you concede now, I guarantee I won't destroy you. How about it?" God of Destruction Beerus looked at Sun Yu, listless, feeling as though the food in his stomach was about to reach his throat.

"Heh, victory or death! This challenge isn't about life or death, but the honor of a gourmet!" Sun Yu finished, suddenly straightened up, picked up the remaining plate of Takoyaki, and shoveled them into his mouth.

"You... bastard!" Seeing Sun Yu dump the remaining Takoyaki into his mouth, God of Destruction Beerus, unwilling to accept defeat, suddenly erupted with a powerful aura that made the world tremble.

A purple-red aura instantly enveloped God of Destruction Beerus. Sun Yu's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't feel a shred of energy, but the terrifying illusion of the heavens collapsing made him almost stop breathing.

The aura of a god cannot be sensed by mortals, but that divine might echoed tangibly throughout the world.

Holy crap! Is this really necessary? It's just a few pieces of Takoyaki, and you have to unleash your full aura! A million thoughts raced through Sun Yu's mind. He suddenly felt that the plate of Takoyaki in God of Destruction Beerus's hand was truly worth a lifetime, because the one about to eat them was a god—a god who would unleash his full power just to finish them!

I suppose this is what they call using an atomic bomb to kill a mosquito!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing God of Destruction Beerus unleash his full aura, Sun Yu also picked up his plate and dumped the remaining Takoyaki into his mouth. Sun Yu didn't even bother to chew, swallowing the remaining pieces in one go.

"Gulp, gulp..."

The surrounding crowd had almost entirely dispersed; after all, watching others eat delicious food made them hungry too, so they had all gone home. Only a few people remained, along with Whis, Lana, and Hill.

They kept their eyes fixed on Sun Yu and God of Destruction Beerus, for the final outcome was about to be revealed. Would the final fate of Planet Vegeta be to survive in obscurity, or to be destroyed prematurely?

"Gulp!" "Gulp!"

Both of them swallowed their final piece of Takoyaki at the same time. Sun Yu slumped weakly into his chair, thinking that a divine body was indeed a divine body. It was fortunate he had cheated by feeding him a plate of Senzu Bean; otherwise, he would have lost miserably. A draw was a pretty good outcome, right?

God of Destruction Beerus also dissipated his divine aura and plopped into his chair, rubbing his belly as he silently digested the food.

At this moment, Whis walked over, looked at the two of them gently, and announced, "It seems the result of the competition is in. Congratulations to this gentleman; you are the winner of this match!"

"Hey, Whis! Did you take a bribe from them? It was clearly a draw, yet you declared him the winner! Explain yourself!" God of Destruction Beerus roared in frustration.

"Oh, yes, I did take a bribe from them!" Whis pulled a small box of Hoi-Poi Capsule from his pocket and waved it in front of God of Destruction Beerus.

He actually admitted it! He shamelessly admitted it!

"However, the judgment is still fair," Whis explained. "You forgot that I ate two pieces of Pudding from your food pile earlier, so you had less food than this gentleman."

"Damn it, I also ate half a Watermelon, why didn't you mention that!" God of Destruction Beerus was hopping mad.

"No one forced you to eat it; you chose to eat it yourself. Are you going to blame me?" Sun Yu spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"Tch, this god does not lower himself to the level of mortals like you!" God of Destruction Beerus turned his head away, his expression as haughty as could be.

Sun Yu noticed that God of Destruction Beerus hadn't gotten angry even after being snapped at like that. It seemed the temptation of gourmet food had indeed made their relationship slightly more familiar. Taking this opportunity, Sun Yu gathered his courage, walked over to God of Destruction Beerus, draped an arm over his shoulder, and raised an eyebrow. "We had a great time eating today. Let's set a time to have another good meal together. Don't worry, brother, it's on me!"

At first, God of Destruction Beerus was very repulsed by Sun Yu's attempt to put an arm around him, and the sliver of goodwill he had built up was instantly shattered. But after hearing Sun Yu's words, God of Destruction Beerus's ears twitched, and he turned his head to ask softly, "Are you... serious?"
