Supreme Kai Realm.

Green lawns, towering trees...

A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.

Three people sat under a large tree.

"Shin, do you understand the duties of a Supreme Kai now?"

"Old Ancestor, I understand."

"Then are you still afraid of Majin Buu?"

"Not anymore."

Shin looked at Old Supreme Kai and chuckled.

So there was actually a position called God of Destruction in the universe; now he would never have to fear Majin Buu again.

Suddenly.

With a "swish," a figure appeared nearby.

Kibito, who was next to Shin, saw this person and shrank his neck, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Louis naturally saw Kibito, but he had no time to pay attention to this guy right now.

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you."

"Louis? Why are you here?"

Old Supreme Kai was stunned.

Louis briefly recounted the "sparring" match from earlier and finally mentioned that Beerus had gone to Universe 4.

"What?"

"Quitela ambushed you?"

Old Supreme Kai was furious!!!

Shin was startled by Old Supreme Kai's loud voice, but upon hearing that Louis had been ambushed, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Louis, you aren't hurt, are you!"

"I'm fine."

Louis looked at Old Supreme Kai and asked urgently, "Lord Old Supreme Kai, how can I get to Universe 4? If I don't stop Lord Beerus, something terrible might happen!"

"Don't worry, that skinny bag of bones knows the consequences of fighting another God of Destruction; he's not that stupid."

Old Supreme Kai gritted his teeth, "That damn rat has gone too far this time; Beerus did well."

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, please save the insults for later!" Louis gave a bitter smile. "Do you have a way for me to leave Universe 7?"

Seeing Old Supreme Kai and Beerus care about him so much, Louis was truly moved.

For the first time, he felt a sense of belonging to Universe 7.

"There are two ways to leave Universe 7."

Old Supreme Kai calmed down a little. "First, use immense power to break through the cosmic barrier."

"However, to do that, one needs to possess the power of the God Realm."

"With your current strength, you shouldn't be able to do it yet."

"Second, use the Universe Shuttle Cube!"

"Universe Shuttle Cube?"

Louis and Shin were stunned.

Soon, Louis thought of something and said, "Are you talking about the shuttle cube in Whis's possession?"

Old Supreme Kai looked at Louis with a strange expression. "I didn't expect Whis to have even told you about that; yes, that is the shuttle cube."

Louis clicked his tongue; in truth, Whis had never told him about this item.

He had simply remembered it from the anime in his past life, where Whis used the Universe Shuttle Cube to take everyone to the Tournament of Power.

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, Whis isn't here, and we don't have a shuttle cube!" Louis shook his head.

Old Supreme Kai proudly lifted his chin. "Did I ever say I didn't have one?"

"You have one?"

Louis was ecstatic. "How could you possibly have a Universe Shuttle Cube?"

"Why do you care so much? It's enough that I have it; do you want it or not!"

Old Supreme Kai's old face turned red.

The reason he had a shuttle cube was actually because he had begged Whis for it back in the day so he could go to other universes to go on dates with girls.

"I want it, I want it! Lord Old Supreme Kai, please lend it to me quickly!"

"I'll give it to you right now."

Old Supreme Kai waved his hand, tearing open a hole in the interdimensional space, from which a purple cube flew out.

"It's fortunate that your dimensional breakthrough reached the level of a deity. If you infuse the Universe Shuttle Cube with Divine Power, you'll be able to unleash its maximum speed..."

Old Supreme Kai paused for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you."

That damn rat, actually launching a sneak attack on the Candidate God of Destruction of his universe—just thinking about it made him furious.

He was going over there too. He might not be able to beat a God of Destruction, but couldn't he handle the Supreme Kai of that realm?

"It would be great if you came along."

Louis had been worrying about how he would break through the universal barrier and navigate to Universe 4.

With Old Supreme Kai tagging along, there was no need to worry.

"Shin, you stay here and watch over Universe 7. We'll be back soon."

"Yes!"

Shin nodded.

Soon, Louis and Old Supreme Kai boarded the Universe Shuttle Cube and vanished from the Supreme Kai Realm.

Inside the cube.

Louis felt a bit restless.

Old Supreme Kai noticed his expression: "Louis, don't worry too much. That skinny bag of bones is shrewd; he won't do anything reckless."

"Mm."

Louis nodded.

He had been too anxious earlier and had forgotten what kind of personality Beerus had.

Beerus certainly wouldn't fall for Quitela's tricks so easily.

That wasn't why he was restless, though.

He was thinking about what he had said to Tights before leaving the God of Destruction Realm—that he would be back soon.

Now that he was heading to another universe, he had no idea how long it would take.

He hoped it would be quick; otherwise, Tights would surely be worried.

"We're about to pierce the barrier, pay attention."

Old Supreme Kai's voice reached his ears.

Louis snapped back to reality and looked ahead, seeing a membrane of light blocking their path.

He increased the output of his Divine Power.

Swish!

The Universe Shuttle Cube transformed into a streak of purple light, instantly piercing through the membrane.

They soon arrived in a pitch-black expanse.

Looking out, he saw eleven massive spheres floating ahead.

Louis looked back, realizing that Universe 7 was a similar sphere.

"The third sphere on the left is Universe 4. Just move in that direction."

"Got it!"

[Ding, mission issued: Please sign in at Universe 4. Reward: Prototype of "Erasure".]

The Universe Shuttle Cube suddenly came to a halt.

"Louis, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing at all, I'm heading there now!"
