East Capital Plains, Earth.

Louis, Son Goku, and all the Namekian were transported here.

Grand Elder sat on the ground, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with a bewildered expression: "Candidate God of Destruction, what happened?"

Son Goku swallowed hard: "What was that attack just now? It was terrifying!"

Nail wiped the sweat from his face: "That scared the life out of me!"

The other Namekian who had been transported here were also still reeling from the shock.

"Grand Elder, I am sorry. It is my fault that you were dragged into this."

Louis gritted his teeth.

Having broken through to the Divine Dimension, he had long been able to sense the presence of deities.

That Destruction Energy Sphere had been thrown by Quitela.

Damn it, no wonder Beerus hated that wretched rat so much; he was truly insidious.

"Wait here. I will find someone to restore Namek, and then I will take you all back."

Anything struck by a Destruction Energy Sphere could not be restored by an ordinary Dragon Ball.

Aside from Super Shenron, the only thing capable of such a feat was the "Temporal Do-Over" of an Angel.

Taking advantage of the fact that two minutes had not yet passed, Louis vanished with a "swish."

Soon, Louis found Whis, who had just returned from Universe 4.

Louis asked Whis to help him restore Namek, but Whis told him it had already been restored.

Louis returned to the side of the Grand Elder.

Nail hurriedly asked: "Candidate God of Destruction, how did it go?"

"Your Namek has been restored."

Louis smiled and looked at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, I will send you back now."

"Very well, thank you for the trouble, Candidate God of Destruction."

The Grand Elder held hands with the Namekian, and Louis used Instant Transmission to bring everyone back to Namek.

At a glance, Namek appeared completely untouched.

The Namekian who returned were stunned. Could it be that this Candidate God of Destruction had used the Dragon Ball again?

"Grand Elder, to express my apologies, I would like to give you something."

Louis pulled three Capsule Corp Capsule from his pocket and opened one of them.

Poof!

A 200-cubic-meter warehouse appeared on the ground, filled with grey-green fruits.

Grand Elder asked in confusion: "Candidate God of Destruction, what are these?"

"These fruits are called Spirit Fruit. They are fruits consumed by deities, and they can increase a person's lifespan."

In truth, besides increasing lifespan, Spirit Fruit could also cause a person's power to skyrocket.

However, the surge in power was limited; compared to the lifespan, this bit of power was nothing.

Louis said with an apologetic face: "I did not fulfill the promise I made to you earlier. Please accept this as my compensation!"

Spirit Fruit were fruits eaten by deities that grew in places where deities resided. There were plenty in the God of Destruction Realm, and Louis had been eating them since he was a child!

"I cannot accept this!"

Grand Elder was slightly alarmed: "Candidate God of Destruction, please take them back. This is too much!"

Louis said calmly: "Enough. I do not take back what I have given."

In the anime, the Grand Elder passed away after the great explosion of Namek because his lifespan had run out.

The Grand Elder was kind and friendly, and Louis had received his favor; Louis could not turn a blind eye to this.

Moreover, these Spirit Fruit really meant nothing to Louis.

"Nail, you must ensure the Grand Elder eats these Spirit Fruit. After finishing the fruits in this warehouse, he should be able to gain several hundred more years of life."

"Ah?"

Nail was stunned, then overcome with joy.

The other Namekian were equally excited.

The Grand Elder was their father, and he was already advanced in age. To put it bluntly, he could pass away at any moment.

In fact, they possessed the Dragon Ball; they could simply make a wish to restore the Grand Elder's youth.

But that would violate the natural order!

The Grand Elder would certainly never allow them to do such a thing.

If eating these fruits could increase his lifespan, it would be different from using a Dragon Ball wish, and the Grand Elder would surely be able to accept it.

Louis handed the remaining two Capsule Corp Capsules to Nail, then departed from Namek.

Earth, the backyard of Tights' home.

Bulma looked at King Vegeta's corpse lying on the ground, heartbroken.

"Wuu wuu wuu... King Vegeta, how could you be dead?"

Bulma grabbed Son Goku by the collar: "Goku, who killed King Vegeta? Why didn't you protect him!!"

"Bulma, I'm sorry."

Son Goku gritted his teeth: "It's my fault for not protecting him well, but don't worry, we can use the Dragon Balls to resurrect King Vegeta and my father."

"Right, right, right, we still have the Dragon Balls!"

Bulma just remembered the Dragon Balls and prepared to go get the Dragon Radar.

Swish.

Louis suddenly appeared on the scene.

Tights, who was nearby, hurried over and felt him up and down. Discovering that Louis hadn't been harmed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Where have you been this past month? You scared me to death!"

"Don't worry, don't you know what my constitution is like?"

Louis pulled Tights into his arms, feeling the temperature of her body and her heartbeat.

He hadn't seen Tights for a month, and he had missed her terribly.

At this moment.

"Brother-in-law, you have to avenge King Vegeta for me!" Bulma walked over.

Louis released Tights and comforted her: "Rest assured, King Vegeta will be fine. Besides, the culprit who killed King Vegeta has already been dealt with by me."

Louis looked at Whis, who was lying on a beach chair: "Whis, help me resurrect these five people, so I don't have to go looking for the Dragon Balls."

"Whis can do it?"

Bulma was stunned.

Even Tights was very confused. She knew that Whis was knowledgeable and powerful, but could he resurrect a person?

"You brat, you really trouble me with everything!" Whis stood up from the beach chair and waved his staff.

Hum!

A holy light swept across the five corpses on the ground.

Suddenly!

"Hmm?"

"Where is this?"

"Where is Frieza?"

The five corpses slowly opened their eyes.

Bulma wept with joy, hugging King Vegeta on the ground: "King Vegeta!!"

Son Goku and Tights, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. To think he could resurrect someone without even summoning Shenron!!

Louis smiled slightly. Resurrecting someone with a corpse was nothing.

In the anime, at the end of the Tournament of Power, Whis had directly resurrected Frieza while he was in a soul state!

"Louis, after you've handled your affairs, come back to the God of Destruction Realm."

After Whis finished speaking, he vanished.

Louis saw Whis disappear, but he didn't see Beerus.

Where was Beerus?

Did he go back to the God of Destruction Realm?

"Bulma?"

On the ground, King Vegeta woke up, feeling a bit dazed as he looked at Bulma, who was hugging him.

"Didn't I die?"

"Brother-in-law had Whis resurrect you!"

Bulma lay on top of him, her eyes red.

At this moment.

"Hiss!"

Bardock, King Vegeta, Bibert, and Theodore, who were nearby, also woke up one after another.

"We didn't die?"

"That's not right. I remember both Bibert and I being blown to bits by Frieza!"

Suddenly, King Vegeta caught sight of Louis, his pupils constricting sharply.

"Louis!!"

"Louis, was it you who saved us?" King Vegeta shook his head again. "No, that can't be. You once said you wouldn't interfere in Saiyan affairs. There's no way you're the one who saved us!"

"King Vegeta, who is he?"

Even now, Bardock, Bibert, and the others still found it hard to believe they had been resurrected.

But who was this person before them?

King Vegeta walked up to Louis, staring at him without turning his head.

"Bardock, I once told you all that our Saiyan race actually had one more powerhouse, only that powerhouse never concerned himself with us!"

"Right, you did say that."

Bardock looked at King Vegeta's back and nodded, but suddenly his body shuddered. Could this person King Vegeta was looking at be that very powerhouse?

Wait!

He had a tail; he really was a Saiyan!!

Bibert and Theodore spoke up: "King Vegeta, could this be the powerhouse you mentioned? Why have we never seen him before?"

King Vegeta replied: "You have seen him. Have you forgotten that over a decade ago, our Saiyan race had an elite warrior named Louis?"

The three of them had a sudden realization; it seemed there really had been an elite warrior named Louis.

It was just that King Vegeta had said Louis died while on a mission.

"In truth, he didn't die. He left Planet Vegeta long ago."

"He was taken as a disciple by the most powerful Divine in the universe!"

"Now that he has appeared here, it is highly likely that he is the one who saved us."

Upon hearing this, Bardock, Theodore, and Bibert all gasped.

Taken as a disciple by the most powerful Divine in the universe?

With such status, why hadn't he come to help the Saiyans?

Nearby, Tights, Bulma, and Son Goku also realized for the first time that this was Louis's past.
