After saying this, Beerus walked toward his castle with his hands behind his back.

Watching Beerus's back until it disappeared from sight, Whis finally turned his gaze toward Mu Yang, who was still unconscious.

"Oh my, this outfit of yours doesn't quite suit a Candidate Destroyer. I suppose I should help you change into something else."

Whis gave a faint smile, then pointed his staff at Mu Yang on the ground, causing the man's attire to change instantly.

Mu Yang's six-pack abs were now exposed, and a blue-and-black chest-covering garment with a red diamond in the center—matching the style worn by Beerus—appeared on his shoulders, while two pure gold bracelets materialized on his arms.

"That should do. I've also added 100 times the weight to this outfit; I hope you can get used to it soon."

Whis smiled knowingly and cast his gaze toward a spot in the center of the pond in the Destroyer God Realm.

Splash!

A bright blue fish with tentacles on its head emerged from the pond and blew a couple of bubbles.

"You're back, Whis."

"Indeed, Oracle Fish, and I've brought a human back with me."

Whis looked at the Oracle Fish with a faint smile, his tone revealing a hint of indifference.

The Oracle Fish looked at the unconscious Mu Yang and asked, "Whis, is there something special about this human?"

"Oh? You actually can't foresee it?"

A look of surprise appeared on Whis's face.

It was not a good sign that the Oracle Fish could not foresee anything; it meant that the person before them was a variable—an existence that shouldn't be in this world!

If this were reported to those above, it was hard to say how they would handle the matter.

"I can't foresee it, Whis. When I look at his future, it's a blank slate. I can't see anything at all."

"But although I can't see that, I did foresee something in my sleep while you were away!"

The Oracle Fish made an exaggerated expression, hoping to catch Whis's attention.

Whis became interested, his curiosity piqued, and he said, "What did you predict? Tell me."

The Oracle Fish spoke in a cheerful, childlike tone, happily saying, "I foresaw that in the future, a god will be born who will lead our dimension toward a more brilliant future."

Whis's eyes flickered twice, and as if he didn't care about the matter, he said in a casual tone.

"Is that so? I see."

"Eh? Whis, that expression is so boring!"

The Oracle Fish was a bit surprised. Usually, when Lord Beerus was asleep, it would spend its days chatting with Whis, and every time it made a prophecy, Whis would be very interested.

Why wasn't he interested today?

"It's nothing, I just feel that things should take their natural course."

Whis turned his gaze to the unconscious Mu Yang on the ground and smiled, "If he truly has the ability to change our dimension, then I would really like to see it."

The Oracle Fish followed Whis's gaze, and it suddenly understood.

"Whis, you..."

"Shh! Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Whis held his index finger to his lips, making a gesture for silence.

The Oracle Fish understood and quickly covered its mouth with its hands, saying no more.

Although it could make prophecies, it couldn't change the future. Not just it, but no existence could change the future—not the Angels, not the Destroyer Gods, and not even the high-and-mighty Zeno or the Grand Minister could change it!

Because... that was the choice of the universe, a predetermined future.

"Alright, Oracle Fish, I'm going to take the Candidate Destroyer back to his room, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Whis remained calm, picked up the unconscious Mu Yang, and headed toward Beerus's castle.

Watching Whis carry Mu Yang away, the Oracle Fish pondered for a moment before diving back into the water.

What happened in the God Realm, what did that have to do with a fish anyway?

But it always felt like it had forgotten something. What was it...

Forget it, if it couldn't remember, it must not be important.

Beerus's castle.

Whis specifically chose a room closest to the Destroyer God Beerus and placed Mu Yang on the bed.

He looked at Mu Yang, smiled knowingly, and said softly:

"If you don't grow stronger soon, you might be killed by Lord Beerus in his sleep without him even realizing it. Anyway, do your best, Lord Candidate Destroyer."

As his voice faded, Whis turned around and left the room.

After he had departed, Mu Yang opened his eyes, struggled against the unbearable weight to rise from the bed, and looked in the direction where Whis had just left.

"So I really was brought here, huh? I didn't expect Whis to swap me into a suit with 100 times the weight, though. This is truly uncomfortable!"

Mu Yang felt the crushing heaviness weighing down on his body, his thoughts gradually sinking into silence.

Ever since he had experienced the wanton recklessness of a Destroyer God, he had harbored a single dream: to become the strongest being, unbound and uncontrolled by anyone.

He had spent his time slacking off before, lacking any real motivation to grow stronger, but things were different now. After experiencing a life-or-death crisis, he understood that only power could guarantee his happy survival.

Therefore, he had feigned being consumed by a desire for destruction and launched an attack on Beerus. Everything had unfolded exactly as he anticipated; he was brought back to the Destroyer God Realm to undergo systematic training.

Mu Yang thought of the oppressive pressure Beerus had exerted and clenched his fists.

Is that what a Destroyer God is? I didn't feel much when I saw it in the anime, but facing it in person, I finally realize just how terrifying a Destroyer God truly is! There won't be a next time, Beerus!

Next time we meet, I will definitely pin you to the ground and rub your face in the dirt!

Recalling his initial helplessness, Mu Yang felt the weight on his body deeply, and a fire for strength ignited within his heart.

Now, thanks to his planning, all the prerequisites for becoming stronger were in place: motivation, a master, diligence, talent, and comprehension! All he lacked now was time.

[Ding~ Sensing your own helplessness and the crushing weight, your comprehension has defied the heavens. You have automatically comprehended the Body Tempering Method and the Gravity Manipulation Technique.]

Body Tempering Method?!

Gravity Manipulation Technique!!

As Mu Yang perceived the information flooding into his mind, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but lose control of his facial expression, revealing a look of pure joy!

This... this is simply too powerful!

First, the Body Tempering Method, as the name suggests, is a technique for tempering the body. It consists of nine levels in total; once trained to the pinnacle, even without any Ki to protect oneself, one could fall into the center of the sun and remain completely unharmed.

Haven't we seen the old-school Broly fall into the center of the sun and nearly die? And haven't we seen Super Saiyan Blue Goku get his defenses broken by a simple laser gun?

It is easy to imagine just how fragile the bodies of people in this world are without the protection of Ki, yet even without Ki, he would be able to achieve an indestructible, immortal physical form by practicing the Body Tempering Method!
