Tucking Louis In

Louis returned to Earth and stayed with Tights the whole time.

Louis soon received a message from Whis asking him to bring Tights back to cook.

But there was no way Louis would agree to that.

Jokingly, Louis told Whis that Tights was his woman now, so he shouldn't ask her to cook anymore.

That earned eye rolls from Whis and Beerus. What a shameless brat, forgetting his "master" for a woman.

At that moment, Tights suggested that Beerus and Whis might as well come to Earth instead.

Her cooking was nothing special by Earth's standards. There were plenty of people who cooked better than she did.

Beerus and Whis' eyes lit up at once.

But something was keeping them from leaving just then, so they had to put off their plans to visit Earth.

Louis asked them what it was, but they wouldn't tell him.

God of Destruction Realm.

Beerus and Whis stood outside the God of Destruction Palace, gazing up at the sky.

"Lord Beerus, are you really not going to tell Louis that Candidate Gods of Destruction from other universes are coming to Universe 7?"

"What good would telling him do? Don't forget, those guys are coming just to annoy me. They saw me take on a Candidate God of Destruction, so now they're doing the same."

Beerus ground his teeth. "They'll definitely recruit people whose power has reached the God Realm. With Louis' 1.5 billion battle power, even turning Super Saiyan won't make any difference!"

Just thinking about it made him furious!

Whis chuckled. "That's what you get for having such a bad reputation, Lord Beerus. The Gods of Destruction from every universe want to mock you. Even your brother wants to come over and make fun of you!"

"Hmph! Just wait two more years. We'll see who's mocking whom!"

"Come now. With Louis' physique, nobody can beat him. Maybe you'll get to mock them back, Lord Beerus." Whis smiled.

Beerus' eyes lit up. "That's right! The Candidate Gods of Destruction from the other universes must have God Realm power. If they fight Louis and still can't beat him, then I'll be able to mock them back!"

Louis only had 1.5 billion battle power right now!

But even with just 1.5 billion battle power, Whis couldn't defeat him. The Candidate Gods of Destruction from the other universes had no chance either!!!

Fortunately, Whis had no idea what Beerus was thinking. Otherwise, he would have said, "Forget me—even my father can't do a thing!"

Beerus burst into manic laughter. "Come on, let's head to Earth first. Those guys will definitely come there to find me!"

"Gulp!"

Whis swallowed, his eyes shining. "Sounds good! Tights said Earth has plenty of other delicious food. This is going to be great."

"Then let's get going!"

North Galaxy, Frieza's headquarters.

"Damn it!!!"

A shrill, sinister voice rang throughout Frieza's headquarters.

Not a single alien in the hall dared to make a sound, afraid of angering the Emperor of the Universe sitting in his hover chair.

Frieza crushed the wineglass in his hand, grinding his teeth. "Those damn Galactic Patrol! Why are they always working against me?"

Frieza didn't know why the Saiyans had joined the Galactic Patrol. All he knew was that they had betrayed him.

Betrayal was what he hated most in the world!

So Frieza had kept sending the Frieza Force after the Saiyans.

At first, it had worked somewhat. They had killed more than a dozen Saiyans.

But eventually, the Saiyans got smart. Whenever they ran into the Frieza Force, they fled back to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters.

Even Frieza himself didn't dare break into the Galactic Patrol Headquarters.

And then there was the incident four years ago, when that Candidate God of Destruction invaded his headquarters.

Frieza didn't dare go after the Saiyans anymore!

Over the past decade, the Saiyans had grown stronger and stronger.

Bardock in particular had surpassed Ginyu in battle power.

If Frieza didn't step in himself, no one in the Frieza Force could hold the Saiyans back anymore.

But he had to worry about that Candidate God of Destruction!

Just then!

"King Frieza, I heard a legend."

An alien hurried into the palace and rushed over to Frieza. "King Frieza, I heard a legend about eternal life."

Frieza was still furious, but his expression changed at once. "Speak!"

"While I was on a mission, I heard an ancient race say that whoever finds the legendary Dragon Balls can have any wish granted!"

"Any wish? Then they can grant eternal life—and even give someone tremendous power!"

"If that ancient race was telling the truth, then yes."

"Tell me, where are the Dragon Balls?"

Frieza's face brightened!

The alien wiped the sweat from his face. "King Frieza, I only heard about them. I don't know where the Dragon Balls are!"

The moment he said that, a cold killing intent filled the palace.

"Find out! I want you to find out where the Dragon Balls are!!"

"Once I have eternal life and tremendous power, the Galactic Patrol Headquarters will be mine to conquer!!"

Earth.

Louis lounged in the backyard of Tights' house, sipping a drink and enjoying the easy life.

Tights wasn't there. She had gone shopping with Bulma. The sisters hadn't seen each other for years, after all.

They were as close as could be!

These days, they were always together.

Just then!

A streak of rainbow light appeared in front of Louis.

"Living the good life, aren't you, kid?"

"Oh, if it isn't my Lord Beerus!"

Louis opened his eyes and smiled. "Didn't you have something to take care of? You wouldn't come to Earth when I invited you. What brings you here now?"

His tone was full of teasing.

Beerus gritted his teeth. That brat.

Beerus' eyes shifted, and he said with a sly grin, "Kid, I've got good news and bad news. Which one do you want first?"

Whis covered his mouth, snickering.

Louis closed his eyes. "Lord Beerus, I don't want to hear either."

"..."

Two black lines appeared on Beerus' forehead, while Whis burst out laughing.

"You're going to hear them whether you want to or not!"

Beerus huffed. "The good news is, you're going to make a name for yourself!"

?

Louis raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes again. "What's the bad news, then?"

"The bad news is that you're going to fight Candidate Gods of Destruction from other universes!"

"What?"

Louis sprang up from his beach chair and stared at Beerus.

At last, he understood what Beerus meant by making a name for himself!

He wanted Louis to fight Candidate Gods of Destruction from other universes. With his "Immunity," he obviously wouldn't lose.

That would make him famous throughout the Zeno Universe!

"Lord Beerus, you've really thought this through, haven't you?"

"Haha... The weather's nice today."

Beerus whistled and looked up at the sky.

Louis' mouth twitched.

He'd said Beerus had thought it through because if Louis fought the other Gods of Destruction, he would already be unbeatable.

That way, Beerus could mock them mercilessly, saying that a mighty God Realm expert couldn't even beat a mortal!

Beerus didn't care if he made enemies. Every God of Destruction already hated him, so he didn't need to worry about them hating him more.

But now Beerus was trying to drag Louis into it too!

"Enough, brat. I'm your master, after all. Just tell me—will you do me this favor or not?" Beerus patted Louis on the shoulder, shamelessly keeping a straight face.

"Fine, I'll do it!"

Louis gritted his teeth.

He looked angry on the outside, but inside, he was completely unfazed.

With one's rise came another's fall. He and Universe 7 had long been bound together.

Besides, in Louis' eyes, Beerus and Whis were both his mentors and his friends.

Beerus wanted to get back at them, so of course Louis would help.

Louis' lips curled slightly. He was looking forward to fighting the other Candidate Gods of Destruction.

Suddenly!

Louis frowned. "Lord Beerus, apart from Universe 11, do the other universes have Candidate Gods of Destruction too?"

Whis finally spoke, laughing. "Hahaha! The other Gods of Destruction recruited their own candidates right after Lord Beerus took you on as a Candidate God of Destruction back then!"

Louis covered his eyes.

He could finally see just how bad Beerus' reputation was. Everyone else had gotten ready ages ago, just waiting for a chance to mock Beerus!

Beerus rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected his successor to be the one who had to help him save face.

"Alright, Lord Beerus. When are they coming to Universe 7?"

"In a year."

"In a year?"

"That's right. Why? Do you have something to do?"

Beerus looked at Louis in confusion.

Louis shook his head.

Vegeta and Son Goku had gone to North Kai to learn Kaioken. In a year, Louis would go pick them up.

Those two were also planning to get revenge on Frieza in a year.

He hadn't expected the Candidate Gods of Destruction from the other universes to arrive in Universe 7 at the same time.

The timing was a little awkward!

In the end, Louis said nothing more, and Beerus and Whis settled down on Earth.

As soon as Beerus and Whis arrived on Earth, they saw that Tights had been right.

Earth was a paradise for food!

Even random street food tasted like nothing they had ever tried before!

Beerus and Whis sighed, wondering why they hadn't discovered this planet sooner.

Beyond the food, Beerus and Whis soon found that Earth had another unusual feature.

A towering stone tower stood in the north of Earth, reaching high into the clouds, and above it lay the mysterious Lookout.

They had visited the Lookout once, but hadn't found anything out of the ordinary.

All they knew was that both the Lookout and the stone tower were ancient!

In the end, Beerus and Whis could only let the matter drop.
