Universe 6, Destroyer God Realm.
Vados and Champa had been waiting here for quite some time.
They were waiting for Whis and that Candidate Destroyer to arrive.
"Hey, Vados, how much longer until your younger brother Whis gets here?" Champa had grown a little impatient and kept complaining.
"Soon. I just contacted Whis, and he said they'd be here in five minutes." Vados glanced at the Scepter in her hand and replied distractedly.
"Tch, you're the one who insisted on having that Candidate Destroyer come, Vados. What's so interesting about Beerus's Candidate Destroyer?" Champa scoffed.
Originally, Vados hadn't been interested in Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer either.
But after hearing what her younger brother Whis had told her, Vados had grown interested, and extremely curious about Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer.
Just what kind of peerless genius could create a divine technique that enhanced one's physical abilities a hundredfold?
Vados knew the history of the Divine Realm very well. She understood even better than Whis how difficult it was to create a divine technique. Their father, the Grand Minister, had once created one himself.
Ultra Instinct!
It had taken a full thirty million years to successfully create that divine technique.
That was also when the Grand Minister had pushed the former Grand Minister, Zalama, out of the position.
He had become the strongest being in the entire universe.
This was what Vados had learned from the Divine Realm's historical records. Whether it was true could no longer be verified.
But Vados was quite sure of one thing: the account of how long it had taken to create Ultra Instinct wasn't a lie.
There was no reason to lie about that.
So Vados wanted to see the genius from Universe 7, who was supposedly even more talented than her father, the Grand Minister.
If nothing unexpected happened,
the next Grand Minister might very well be this Candidate Destroyer from Universe 7.
Vados came back to herself amid her many thoughts. Five minutes had passed.
Boom!
A streak of seven-colored light descended in front of Vados and Champa.
Neither Champa nor Vados found it unusual.
It wasn't their first time seeing it.
Whenever they traveled, they used the same thing. It was the standard way for angels to travel.
The seven-colored light slowly faded, revealing Whis. Less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
Mu Yang, who had been standing behind Whis, also stepped forward, appearing before Champa and Vados.
"Hey, you brat! You're Beerus's Candidate Destroyer?" Champa sized Mu Yang up with a vicious glare, his expression unfriendly.
Vados watched Mu Yang with a beaming smile.
She wanted to see how Mu Yang would respond to Champa, too.
"Champa, I am indeed Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer, but what's with that tone of yours?" Mu Yang wasn't intimidated at all. He immediately shot back.
"Heh..." Champa was so angry he actually laughed.
He really was just like his good brother Beerus. The Candidate Destroyer Beerus had chosen even had the same personality.
Good, very good, excellent!!
He was already in Universe 6, on Champa's turf, and he was still acting so cocky.
"Kid, there's a huge difference in status between a Candidate Destroyer and a God of Destruction. You should address me as 'Lord.'" Champa's eyes widened as he glared.
"Sorry, but I've never made a habit of calling someone 'Lord' when they don't respect me." Mu Yang's mouth curled into a smirk, his tone arrogant and defiant.
"Ah... You're driving me crazy! Vados, I'm going to teach this brat a lesson on Beerus's behalf!" Champa jumped with anger, then turned to ask Vados.
"Lord Champa, I invited them here as guests." Vados sighed. Picking a fight with a guest at a time like this would be like slapping herself in the face.
Vados hadn't expected Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer to be so cocky, but when she thought about it, it made sense.
If she'd created such a powerful divine technique when she was young, she might have had trouble keeping her pride in check, too.
Vados thought she should remind Whis!
Training a God of Destruction wasn't just about building strength. Their state of mind also needed special attention.
There were countless powerful beings in this world.
There was always someone stronger!
If he got too cocky one day and was killed before he had a chance to mature,
"Big sister." Whis bowed politely to Vados.
"Whis, you two come inside." Vados gave Mu Yang a long look, then turned and headed for the God of Destruction's castle.
"Hmph, kid, you're lucky!" Champa shot Mu Yang one last murderous glare, then turned and followed her.
Mu Yang shrugged indifferently as he watched Champa's back.
His provocation of Champa wasn't reckless.
He'd already made a plan!
Mu Yang intended to use Champa as a stepping stone and a whetstone, so that he could grow stronger.
His Legendary Super Saiyan form still needed Champa's help.
With that thought, Mu Yang followed them.
They entered the castle and sat down in chairs.
There were plates and cutlery on the large table, and a huge bird's egg rested on one of the plates.
It hadn't even been peeled.
Mu Yang stared at the egg in front of him, momentarily at a loss as to where to begin.
Champa cracked the shell open with his hand and drank the egg liquid inside, looking delighted.
Mu Yang felt that the Gods of Destruction really had it rough. They ate this kind of thing every day.
Even a dog probably wouldn't eat this stuff.
"Phew, delicious."
Champa smacked his lips twice and looked over at Mu Yang. When he saw that Mu Yang still hadn't touched the egg, his expression grew even more unfriendly.
"Hey, brat, don't waste food. This is a Dongdong Bird egg I had a hard time finding. It's delicious!" Champa's gaze grew colder, his tone full of menace.
As a God of Destruction who loved good food, the thing he hated most was people wasting it.
If Champa saw someone wasting food, he'd definitely step in. If he didn't, he wouldn't deserve his figure—he'd eaten his way into it, after all.
Champa had tried plenty of foods that he considered delicious.
Mu Yang felt even more sorry for Champa and shot to his feet.
Bang!
The sudden movement and loud noise naturally drew Vados and Whis's attention.
All three of them turned to look at Mu Yang.
"I'm going to cook. Where's the kitchen?" Mu Yang turned and asked Vados.
"On the right," Vados answered with a smile.
"Oh my, I didn't know you could cook, Mr. Mu Yang." Whis was surprised; it was his first time hearing of it.
"Hey, kid, are you any good?" Champa eyed him skeptically.
"Don't worry. It'll at least be better than your bird egg." Mu Yang shrugged and headed toward the kitchen.
Watching Mu Yang disappear from sight, Champa was still a little annoyed. "What do you mean, better than my bird egg? This is a delicacy from Universe 6 that I had a hard time finding!"
Whis gave an awkward laugh, unsure how to respond.
Compared to Earth's cuisine, this food was far inferior.
The difference was practically on another dimensional level.
Not just Mu Yang—even Whis felt like running away.
Wouldn't eating this food be the death of him?
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.
