"Luya? Who's Luya?" Champa asked, puzzled. He clearly hadn't expected a Saiyan from his universe to have slipped into Universe 7.
"That can't be!" Vados said with a faint smile. "If the Luya you're talking about really is a Saiyan, then he has very little to do with our Universe 6."
"Why?" Goku asked, confused.
"Because if any life-form breaks through the barrier between universes, the God of that universe will notice immediately. So that Luya isn't from Universe 6," Beerus said calmly.
"If he's not from Universe 6, could he be from another universe?" Vegeta asked, his expression complicated.
"I don't know, but probably not," Whis suddenly said. "Universe 6 and Universe 7 are parallel universes, so they have some similarities. Apart from Universe 6 and Universe 7, there shouldn't be any Saiyans in the other universes!"
"Even we gods can't gauge the Saiyan named Luya's true strength. And we don't know where he came from! There's no record of him, not even among the other gods," Beerus said gravely.
"Tch! He's just a Saiyan. What's there to make such a fuss about? Beerus, why don't you tell me where you got this delicious food?" Champa tapped the table and asked calmly.
Beerus glanced at Champa, then said coolly, "This food comes from a planet called Earth!"
"What?! Earth? You're sure you're not joking? A little planet can produce food this delicious?" Champa asked, clearly incredulous.
"Of course," Beerus said calmly.
Champa rubbed his chin, then turned to Vados. "Hey, Vados, we have an Earth in Universe 6 too, don't we?"
Vados nodded. "We do. But it's a desolate planet with very few inhabitants. It seems something happened there in the past, and nearly all life on the planet was wiped out!"
"Ugh..." Champa gritted his teeth. Damn it, that meant there was no delicious food for him!
He couldn't accept it!
Champa had always compared himself to Beerus, and almost every time, he'd lost badly! This time, he'd been thoroughly convinced—and even he couldn't help craving that so-called Earth.
"Heh heh! Champa, I guess you'll admit defeat now, won't you?" Beerus said, looking at Champa smugly.
"Hmph! It's nothing special," Champa said calmly. "Actually, Beerus, I came to see you because I have a bet I want to make with you!"
Beerus froze, then asked, "What do you want to bet?"
"I've already gathered six Super Dragon Balls!" Champa said calmly. "You remember those things, right? The Super Dragon Balls that can grant any wish!"
Beerus's pupils contracted. "What are you proposing?"
"It's simple! We each pick five warriors from our universes and have them fight. If you win, I'll give you these six Dragon Balls! But if you lose, you have to hand Earth over to me!"
At that, Beerus's face darkened. Goku and Vegeta were both stunned, looking rather uncomfortable.
"What do you say? It's a good deal, isn't it? Or are you scared?" Champa grinned.
He'd naturally set his sights on Earth's delicious food. If he won, he could eat as much as he wanted!
Beerus looked at Champa, his gaze sharp. But soon he said coldly, "Then..."
"Then let's do it, Lord Beerus!" Beerus choked on his saliva, then glared at Goku. "What did you say?!"
Goku smiled confidently. "Let's fight them! We're sure to win!"
"You... Hahaha! You little brat! Do you even know what you're saying? You think you can beat Universe 6? Keep dreaming!" Champa suddenly burst into arrogant laughter.
Goku looked at Champa, then said, "I'm really interested in the strongest fighters in your Universe 6. If you can, please bring your strongest warriors to fight us!"
"Hey! Do you know what you're saying? If we lose, Earth will be his! Can you really live with that?" Beerus looked at Goku and asked calmly.
Goku smiled confidently. "I won't lose! I'll train hard from now on, then beat them! Besides, don't you want those Super Dragon Balls too, Lord Beerus?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go guessing what a god is thinking!" Beerus said, looking at Goku helplessly.
"Haha..." Goku scratched his head and laughed.
"Tch! What a simple-minded idiot," Vegeta said arrogantly.
"Hey, Vegeta, don't you want to see how strong the warriors of Universe 6 are?" Goku suddenly asked, smiling at Vegeta.
Vegeta's expression stiffened. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hmph! I have no interest in the likes of them!"
"Okay, then don't take part. Gohan, Piccolo, and I can go," Goku said with a laugh.
"Hey! Kakarot! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Vegeta's face turned livid. Damn it! Was this guy brainless? Didn't he know Vegeta was just putting on a tough act?
Beerus looked at the two of them, then smiled. He turned to Champa. "All right, I accept your challenge!"
Champa snapped his fingers. "Perfect! You'll regret accepting, Beerus! The warriors of Universe 6 will defeat your disciples with ease!"
"You're getting ahead of yourself," Beerus said with a cold laugh. "Just wait and see!"
Champa smiled as if victory were already his. "Excellent! I'll choose the arena. I'll let you know when it's ready. Vados, let's go!"
"Yes, Lord Champa!" Vados bowed slightly, then left with Champa.
Back there, Beerus looked at Goku and Vegeta. "Did you hear that? Universe 6 is going to fight Universe 7!"
"Don't worry. I won't lose to them!" Goku said confidently. "And we've got plenty of powerful fighters too!"
"No, no. You're underestimating Universe 6. They have someone incredibly powerful," Whis said with a smile.
"Really? Is he that strong?" Goku's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.
Whis nodded. "Yes. You might not be able to beat him on your own. You'd probably need to team up to win."
"What! He's that strong?" Vegeta said, shocked. Then he suddenly looked at Goku. "Kakarot, leave this one to me!"
Goku immediately objected. "What? No way! I want to fight him first!"
The two of them immediately started bickering.
"When will those two ever truly team up for once..." Whis sighed.
