Hearing this, Vegeta looked bewildered. Louis hadn't left the Saiyans to fend for themselves after all.
Hadn't he asked Dr. Briefs to build a Gravity Chamber for Son Goku?
Hadn't he taken Son Goku to North Kai to learn Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb?
Louis stood before them, watching everyone stare at him without saying a word.
His expression was calm. "I know you have a lot of questions, so I'll tell you why I haven't helped the Saiyans."
"Frieza is Lord Beerus's representative. While Lord Beerus is asleep, Frieza destroys planets in his stead."
"But with you around, the Frieza Force has grown more and more brazen, spreading its influence faster and faster and destroying more and more planets!"
"Whether a planet is suitable or unsuitable, you destroy it all the same!"
"This has dealt a massive blow to the stability of the universe, so you angered Lord Beerus a long time ago."
"Lord Beerus spared you only because of me."
"As for why I haven't helped you..."
Louis paused, then said, "I'm a Candidate God of Destruction!"
His voice was calm, but to everyone else, it sounded like a clap of thunder!
That was right!
Beerus had already wanted to wipe out the Saiyan race. They had survived only because of Louis.
A Candidate God of Destruction was the God of Destruction's successor and had to obey the God of Destruction's will!
So Louis naturally couldn't help the Saiyans anymore!
Besides, the gods were unsentimental. Louis surely couldn't interfere too much with the course of the mortal world.
Now that they were alive again, it had to be because Louis had stepped in to help them, interfering with the mortal world's affairs. Beerus would surely reprimand him for it...
King Vegeta's face was full of shame. He had wronged Louis.
When Bardock and the others first heard that Louis was a powerful Saiyan who had abandoned his own people, they had been furious.
But after hearing his explanation, their ears burned with shame, and they wished they could disappear.
It wasn't that Louis didn't care about the Saiyans. He had to uphold his divine duties!
Louis had no idea what they were thinking.
If he had, he would have laughed out loud.
What he had just said was true, but more than anything, Louis simply hadn't wanted to get involved with them.
But...
That had been in the past. The Saiyans were different now.
Louis said, "All right, now that you're all back, I need to return to the God of Destruction Realm first!"
Whis hadn't seen Beerus when he left, so Louis guessed Beerus might have gone to Universe 4.
He had to hurry back and check.
King Vegeta quickly asked, "Louis, what's happened to the rest of the Saiyans?"
"You can ask Kakarot about that."
With that, Louis took Tights and disappeared.
Everyone turned to Son Goku.
Son Goku told them everything that had happened on Namek.
He had transformed into a Super Saiyan...
Louis had sent the Saiyans back to Galactic Patrol Headquarters...
Louis had killed Frieza...
Whis had brought them back to life...
After hearing it all, the Saiyans swallowed nervously.
"A Super Saiyan?"
"Kakarot, is that true? You really transformed into a Super Saiyan?"
It was no wonder they were so excited. The Super Saiyan was a legend among the Saiyan race.
Frieza had attacked the Saiyans because he feared the legend might come true.
Hearing this news, no Saiyan could possibly stay calm.
Besides...
If it was true, did that mean they could transform into Super Saiyans too?
Everyone's faces were practically pressed against Son Goku's. He felt awkward and took a step back.
Son Goku scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
"L-Louis said that form was called a Super Saiyan. I don't know if it really was."
Seeing how clueless he looked, everyone was speechless.
Vegeta shouted, "Kakarot, transform and show us! Hurry!!!"
He remembered seeing a golden-haired, blue-eyed figure just before he died.
Bardock suppressed his excitement. "That's right, Kakarot! Transform and show us. Then we'll know!"
Unlike the others, Bardock believed Son Goku about eighty percent.
Because he had always had a premonition!
His second son would become a Super Saiyan!!!
"Okay, give me some room. I'll try."
Son Goku moved aside, and King Vegeta and the others quickly cleared a space.
Bulma was also very interested in this so-called Super Saiyan.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Son Goku.
But after a while...
Son Goku still hadn't changed at all.
"Kakarot, what's wrong?"
"I don't think I can transform anymore!"
Son Goku looked at them in confusion.
Vegeta said, "But you transformed before. Why can't you do it now?"
Bardock said, "Are you too nervous? Try again."
King Vegeta, Bibert, and the others all nodded, urging Son Goku to try again.
"Okay, I'll try again."
Son Goku gave it another shot.
A while later, he still couldn't do it.
Now even he was stunned!
On Namek, when he had seen his father killed, his rage had reached its peak, and he had transformed successfully. Why couldn't he do it now?
King Vegeta furrowed his brows and asked, "Kakarot, you're not making this up, are you?"
Bibert, Theodore, and the others all looked at Son Goku with suspicion.
Son Goku frowned. "I'm not making it up! I was the one who beat Frieza, after all!"
Bardock asked in disbelief, "You beat Frieza?"
"Yeah, but Louis was the one who killed Frieza in the end. Don't you believe me?"
Son Goku was starting to get anxious.
It seemed like everyone doubted him.
But everyone had been dead when he transformed!
Now that he couldn't transform again and Louis had left in such a hurry, he really had no way to explain himself.
Just then,
Vegeta stepped forward and said seriously, "Kakarot, I believe you."
He paused, then continued, "I saw a golden figure before I died. I couldn't have been mistaken!!"
At Vegeta's words, the others froze for a moment, then jumped up in excitement.
"We've hit the jackpot, we've hit the jackpot!!"
Bardock was already embracing King Vegeta, his face alight with excitement.
The Saiyan legend was real!
That meant they would all be able to transform someday!
God of Destruction Realm.
With a whoosh, two figures appeared beside the lake.
Tights jumped down from Louis and asked in confusion, "Louis, why have you come back here again?"
"I'm back to find Lord Beerus!"
Louis headed for the Destruction Palace and found no one inside.
Had Beerus really gone to Universe 4 to pick a fight with Quitela?
"Whis!!!"
Louis looked up and shouted.
His voice echoed through the palace.
But after the echo faded, Whis still didn't answer.
"Lord Beerus, don't do anything reckless!!"
Louis looked worried.
Now he was sure: Beerus had asked Whis to take him to Universe 4.
Quitela had ambushed him, so Beerus must have wanted to avenge him.
But...
Zeno had decreed that Gods of Destruction weren't allowed to fight each other.
If Beerus and Quitela fought, it would be a serious offense!
"No, I have to stop him." Louis paced anxiously around the palace.
Beerus was always acting impatient with him, but Louis knew he really cared about him.
He was deeply touched that Beerus was standing up for him this time.
"Louis, what's wrong?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to get to Universe 4."
Leaving Universe 7 and getting to Universe 4 wasn't that simple.
The universes were separated by barriers, and it was almost impossible for a mortal to break through them.
Louis had reached the divine level, but his power still hadn't reached the God Realm.
Breaking through the barrier between universes would be extremely difficult!
"Another universe?"
Tights had spent so long in the God of Destruction Realm that she already knew how the universes were arranged.
So there wasn't just one universe in the world. There were eleven more!
"Louis, why don't you ask Old Supreme Kai?"
Tights remembered Louis telling her that Universe 7 had an ancient Supreme Kai from a bygone era. Old Supreme Kai must know a lot.
Maybe Old Supreme Kai knew how to leave Universe 7.
"That's right!"
Louis was overjoyed. He picked Tights up and kissed her on her rosy lips.
"Tights, wait here for me. I'm going to the Supreme Kai Realm. I'll be back soon."
Louis set Tights down, then disappeared.
"Then hurry back!"
Tights shouted after him, then walked out of the palace helplessly.
She didn't know what was going on, but from the worried look on Louis's face, it had to be urgent.
She hoped he could sort it out!
