Earth!

At this moment, it remained a scene of calm and tranquility, devoid of any unrest or that ominous sense of a storm brewing before a disaster.

"God of Destruction?"

Vegeta appeared at Kami's Lookout, his face full of disdain as he spoke.

"I don't care if the person coming is a God of Destruction or some other god; if they dare to threaten me, then I, Vegeta, wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson."

"Uncle Vegeta, King Kai has already said that the God of Destruction is incredibly powerful, stronger than any enemy we have ever encountered! So, I think it would be better for us to be careful."

Son Gohan reminded Vegeta.

"Hmph!"

Vegeta did not answer Son Gohan, though his inner thoughts were somewhat different from what he had said aloud.

"Vegeta, I think Gohan is right. Regardless, it would be better for us to be cautious about this so-called God of Destruction, Beerus."

At this moment, Son Goku also walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, glanced at the disdainful Vegeta, and spoke.

"Kakarot, that's your business, don't talk to me about it!"

Vegeta was impatient with Son Goku's words; no sooner had he finished speaking than he shot out, heading straight into the distance.

"Let's go too. Today is Bulma's birthday, let's go together!"

Son Goku smiled, not angered by Vegeta's words, but instead smiling as he spoke to Son Gohan.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Son Goku and Son Gohan shot out simultaneously, moving in an instant and heading into the distance, quickly catching up to Vegeta one after another.

Although Vegeta, Son Goku, and Son Gohan had not yet arrived, Bulma's birthday party continued.

The cruise ship moved slowly across the ocean without a destination, simply because Bulma felt the scenery on the sea was more beautiful.

Thus, it sailed aimlessly.

The sea breeze blew, waves rolled in, and a lively atmosphere spread across the cruise ship.

"Lord Beerus, shall we head directly to where Vegeta is?"

In the starry sky not far from Earth, Whis smiled slightly at Beerus, asking for his opinion.

"Mm!"

Beerus nodded.

"Whoosh!"

A seven-colored light flickered, and the moment it merged with Earth, they arrived directly above the sea, hovering over the cruise ship where the birthday party was being held.

Vegeta was lying in a spot resting, his mind constantly replaying his previous battle with Soya.

In fact, while in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Vegeta's strength had already improved significantly; although he hadn't transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, he was already very close.

"I haven't found a way to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 yet, but at my full-power Super Saiyan 2, I'm not much worse than Kakarot's Super Saiyan 3."

Vegeta muttered to himself.

"However, I still need to prepare other paths."

Vegeta closed his eyes in thought.

"Vegeta!"

Just then, a calm voice drifted over and fell into Vegeta's ears.

Although the voice was very calm, the moment it landed, Vegeta's heart jolted.

He opened his eyes in confusion and immediately saw two people.

The first person he saw was Whis, but he didn't feel any pressure from him; it was as if the person before him was just an ordinary human.

Immediately after, he saw Beerus.

It wasn't that he could sense the aura on Beerus, but the moment he saw him, Vegeta's mind was struck by a thunderous shock.

"He..."

Vegeta looked at Beerus, his body already trembling uncontrollably.

"God... God of Destruction, Lord Beerus!"

Vegeta blurted it out; he remembered seeing Beerus once when he was very young.

And that encounter had left an indelible impression on Vegeta.

"Yo, you still remember me? That's truly rare."

Beerus stepped out from behind Whis and spoke calmly as he looked at Vegeta.

"Lord Beerus, may I ask what brings you to Earth?"

Vegeta kept his head bowed, not daring to look Beerus in the eye.

The shadows of his childhood surged into his mind in an instant.

Even when he had faced Frieza back in the day, he had never felt like this.

Yet now, he couldn't even muster the courage to meet Beerus's gaze.

"Vegeta, I came here to ask you something. Do you know of the Super Saiyan God?"

Beerus didn't care at all about the weak Vegeta, speaking with calm indifference.

After all, with strength as negligible as Vegeta's in his eyes, he could wipe out countless such beings with a single finger.

"Super Saiyan God?"

Vegeta froze, pondering for a long time before shaking his head; he had no knowledge of it either.

"Lord Beerus, I do not know of any Super Saiyan God."

Vegeta answered truthfully.

"Even you don't know?"

Beerus appeared somewhat disappointed. He had originally hoped that coming to Earth would allow him to find the Super Saiyan God from his dreams, but it seemed he had made the trip for nothing.

"That Saiyan who defeated Frieza is named Son Goku, right? Bring him here; I want to ask him!"

Beerus walked over to a lounge chair and spoke to Vegeta.

"Yes!"

Vegeta dared not raise any objections to Beerus's command, his figure flashing away instantly.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta darted out, arriving directly at another part of the ship, which was currently very lively.

"Vegeta, you're here!"

Son Goku noticed Vegeta's sudden appearance.

However, the latter's face was grave.

"Kakarot, come with me for a moment."

Vegeta looked at Son Goku with a solemn expression.

"What happened?"

At this moment, Son Goku had almost forgotten about the God of Destruction's impending arrival.

"Kakarot, someone wants to see you in a moment. It is Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. When you see him, you must not show even the slightest hint of disrespect. Otherwise, if Lord Beerus gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Vegeta's expression was more serious than it had ever been.

"He's here?"

Hearing that the God of Destruction Beerus had arrived, Son Goku became immediately excited, though he didn't take a single word of Vegeta's subsequent warnings to heart.

"Follow me! Lord Beerus wants to see you!"

Vegeta's figure flashed, and he departed immediately.

"Whoosh!"

Son Goku followed closely behind, catching up in an instant.

"Those two?"

Bulma, Chi-Chi, and the others were all together; seeing Vegeta and Son Goku leave without even a word of greeting, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

But they didn't say anything.

They had no intention of letting these two irresponsible men ruin their good mood.
