King Vegeta naturally could not fathom Beerus's intentions. After silently counting himself lucky, he dared not underestimate this God of Destruction again and prepared to step forward.
He had no desire to be trampled into the ground again; that sensation was far from pleasant! He had never imagined a God of Destruction could be this powerful!
Damn it! Just how high is this God of Destruction's battle power?
"Foster father."
A young voice called out from behind him.
King Vegeta recognized the familiar voice immediately. Cold sweat broke out across his brow, and his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
"Oh?"
This strange reaction was naturally noticed by Beerus, who sat upon his throne, and he let out a soft sound of intrigue.
He cast his gaze toward the source of the voice and spotted a small child standing there.
What piqued Beerus's interest was that this little brat was actually glaring at them with hostility, as if they were some sort of heinous enemies!
Interesting!!
Beerus curled the corner of his lip.
Regardless of whether it was due to the child's tender age or some other reason, simply staring directly at a God of Destruction with the eyes of a mortal was enough to grant the God of Destruction the right to erase such an impolite mortal from existence!
King Vegeta, having just experienced the terrifying nature of the God of Destruction, was naturally uneasy. He hurriedly shielded Mu Yang behind him, casting a wary look toward Beerus.
Beerus let out a scoff: "Rest easy. I am a God of Destruction; I won't lower myself to bickering with a child!"
Hearing this, King Vegeta felt relieved and let out a long breath.
Since he was a God of Destruction, his divine word should at least be worth trusting!
"Foster father, are they enemies?"
Mu Yang feigned an innocent look, pretending not to recognize Beerus and his companion, while staring at them with a guarded, solemn expression.
King Vegeta was startled and hurriedly waved his hands in response: "No, no... Yang'er, don't look at Lord Beerus with that gaze."
It had been difficult enough to get Beerus to calm down; what if he provoked the god into a rage again? Planet Vegeta could not afford to be destroyed on his watch!
"Enemies?"
Beerus grew interested and let out a snort of derision: "You Saiyans don't even have the qualifications to be my enemies!"
"Nonsense!"
Mu Yang continued his act of childish innocence, saying: "My foster father said that we Saiyans are the strongest warrior race in the entire universe!"
He said this for no other reason than to hope his "joke" might amuse Beerus, causing the god to lose his temper and abandon any thoughts of destroying Planet Vegeta.
Beerus was instantly amused by Mu Yang's unfiltered childhood words and turned to Whis beside him: "Whis, did you hear that? The strongest warrior race in the entire universe? Hahaha..."
Unable to maintain his previous aura of oppression, he slapped the table hard, struggling to calm himself down.
Whis's expression remained calm. His staff projected images of Saiyans running rampant across various planets. He took a look and said indifferently:
"Lord Beerus, aside from the Frost Demon race, the Saiyans are indeed the highest-tier combat force in our Universe 7."
Beerus's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face darkened rapidly.
Just as King Vegeta and Mu Yang were left wondering what had happened!
"You're telling me that the second-highest combat force in our Universe 7 is this bunch of stinking monkeys? What kind of joke are you playing! Whis!! Wouldn't I be laughed to death by that guy Champa?"
"I am not joking, Lord Beerus."
"Damn it! What have the Supreme Kais been doing!"
Beerus ignored everyone else, slamming his fist onto the table and cracking it, his face twisted in fury.
He had looked at the Saiyan race; not a single one of them even possessed a battle power in the tens of thousands. How could such an inferior species be the second-strongest in Universe 7!?
What kind of cosmic joke was this!
If things continued like this, once the average level of Universe 7 dropped below a certain value, it would inevitably be erased by Zeno.
Thinking of Zeno's terrifying nature, Beerus couldn't help but shudder, his entire body trembling.
"Lord Beerus, while you were in your slumber, the Supreme Kais underwent a changing of the guard. A human named Majin Buu eliminated four Supreme Kais, leaving only the East Supreme Kai to hold the divine office."
"And the East Supreme Kai doesn't even know of the existence of the God of Destruction! He is entirely preoccupied with dealing with Majin Buu and has no heart to manage the universe."
Whis's staff displayed images of the North, South, East, and West Supreme Kais being brutally beaten by Majin Buu, and finally, the scene of Majin Buu merging with the Grand Supreme Kai before being sealed away.
Beerus glanced at the projection with his peripheral vision and said dismissively: "Those Supreme Kai fellows are truly disgraceful. To be wiped out by a mortal—it's a real embarrassment to the gods!"
"So, Lord Beerus, shall we go?"
"Forget it. I have no desire to communicate with those idiots, the Supreme Kais. How many years ago was our last conversation?"
"Lord Beerus, it was 30 million years ago. You even sealed away the Old Supreme Kai."
Whis offered a well-intentioned reminder.
Beerus tapped his head, finally recalling.
"Oh, right. That Old Supreme Kai fellow defied me, so I sealed him inside a sword."
"In that case, there is even less need to worry. Even if the East Supreme Kai manages to get himself killed, I won't vanish. Let him be."
Beerus propped his head up and waved a hand, completely unconcerned.
Whis said no more, moving past the topic.
"Then, Lord Beerus, how shall we deal with those two?"
"Since they have overheard the secrets of our divine realm, to prevent the information from spreading and endangering that Old Supreme Kai fellow, I suppose I shall destroy them."
When Beerus said this, his tone was no different than if he were crushing an ant.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Mu Yang's internal alarm bells rang wildly; he felt completely numb, cursing under his breath.
What kind of mess is this!
He hadn't wanted to hear these divine matters, and besides, he already knew these things. To die over information he was already privy to—this was the height of injustice.
Not even Dou E was as wronged as he!
Mu Yang instinctively clenched his fists, his teeth digging into his lip until he nearly drew blood.
Is this what a God of Destruction is?
So casual, so cruel, so wantonly stripping others of their lives!
He refused to accept this! He hadn't even begun to comprehend the splendor of the universe!
King Vegeta, meanwhile, seemed stunned into idiocy, standing frozen in place after hearing Beerus's words.
Beerus took in their expressions, shaking his head slightly. His eyes held the cold, impartial gaze that only a god could possess as he looked at the two of them.
Purple particles of light swirled around his body, radiating outward, the pressure mounting steadily with no sign of stopping.
Mu Yang was completely stunned!
The reason for his shock was not how terrifying Beerus was, but rather...
