Goku, Have You Heard of Lord Beerus?

"Think carefully, when did it fall off? And how did it happen?" Old Supreme Kai squinted at Sun Wukong.

"Now that you mention it, Old Supreme Kai..." Sun Wukong rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought for a few seconds, before his eyes suddenly lit up. "I remember now! It was the Guardian who said it! He said my tail was in the way, so he removed it for me! I never grew a tail again after that!"

"The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it," Old Supreme Kai smiled.

"You mean if I ask the Guardian for help, I might be able to grow my tail back?" Sun Wukong understood.

"Something like that," Old Supreme Kai nodded, then asked, "So, how many times stronger is that Super Saiyan 4 transformation of yours compared to your current self?"

"I think it's over 4,000 times stronger," Sun Wukong replied.

Old Supreme Kai: "..."

Old Supreme Kai's eyes widened instantly, his ears perking up high.

Over 4,000 times!

Was he joking?

"Kid, you aren't pulling my leg, are you?" Old Supreme Kai asked, stunned.

"No, Old Supreme Kai, why would I joke about that?" Sun Wukong shook his head.

"If that's really the case... then your true strength in the future must be 300,000 times your current self, right?" Old Supreme Kai clicked his tongue in amazement, sighing endlessly.

"I don't know how you calculated that, but it sounds about right," Sun Wukong didn't have much of a grasp on these numbers.

"Kid, you're truly incredible!" Old Supreme Kai was deeply shocked, unable to help but mutter to himself, "A human with this level of power... he's almost touching the threshold of a God of Destruction, isn't he?"

"What God of Destruction?" Sun Wukong blinked.

"Let me ask you one more thing." Old Supreme Kai's expression grew more serious as he looked at Sun Wukong. "You said the negative energy released by that guy called the Evil Dragon in the future affected the entire universe, is that right?"

"That's right. The universe was almost swallowed by all that negative energy. If left unchecked, the entire universe would have been in crisis," Sun Wukong nodded.

"So, Beerus never appeared?" Old Supreme Kai asked, feeling a bit strange.

"Beerus? Who?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.

"Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction!" Old Supreme Kai replied.

"I've never heard of him... Later, I defeated the Evil Dragon with a Spirit Bomb, but I exhausted all my energy, and my soul followed Shenron to this timeline," Sun Wukong mused. "As for this God of Destruction you mentioned, I have no idea."

"That's strange. Given such a massive crisis in the universe, Lord Beerus should have appeared!" Old Supreme Kai held his forehead in thought. "Even if Lord Beerus didn't show up, the final outcome could have been the entire universe being erased by Lord Grand Zeno himself! That negative energy... isn't that something Lord Grand Zeno could fix with a wave of his hand?"

"Eh? Old Supreme Kai, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it!" Sun Wukong looked confused.

"Let me ask you again, did the future me ever say how I ended up inside that Z Sword?" Old Supreme Kai asked again.

"You said it was because you were sealed inside by a very powerful guy. That guy wasn't as strong as Majin Buu, but he was at least stronger than you, Old Supreme Kai," Sun Wukong replied truthfully.

"Is that what I said?" Old Supreme Kai sighed, becoming more certain that his future self was an idiot.

"Yeah," Sun Wukong nodded.

In the distance.

Supreme Kai and Kibito glanced over from time to time, both of them wearing expressions of utter shock.

"The Old Ancestor is chatting quite happily with this man named Sun Wukong!" Kibito felt a bit uneasy.

"It feels like they've known each other for a long time," Supreme Kai mused.

"How could that be? It shouldn't be possible," Kibito expressed deep suspicion.

"I don't know what they're talking about, but they look quite serious," Supreme Kai's gaze was deep; he wanted to eavesdrop but felt it would be impolite.

Old Supreme Kai was left speechless after hearing Sun Wukong's account.

"So, did this guy who sealed me ever appear in the end?" Old Supreme Kai asked.

"No," Sun Wukong answered.

"After all these years, he never showed up?" Old Supreme Kai felt that something was increasingly wrong and began pacing back and forth on the ground again.

Logically, Lord Beerus had been asleep for so long that he should have woken up by now.

Although the possibility of him going to Earth was extremely low.

But if this kid named Sun Wukong had really become this strong, it should have caught Beerus's attention.

Even if it didn't catch Beerus's attention, Whis would have at least mentioned it to Beerus.

Something is wrong!

It's getting more and more wrong!

But I'm not going to tell you that it was that guy Beerus who sealed me!

Otherwise, I'd lose too much face!

"So, when that guy called the Evil Dragon appeared in the end, did the future me seek help from other universes besides asking you to resolve it?" Old Supreme Kai asked another question.

"Other universes? What do you mean?" Sun Wukong was even more confused.

"I see. I think I know something now," Old Supreme Kai let out a long sigh.

"Old Supreme Kai, can you explain what you mean?" Sun Wukong looked bewildered.

"I can tell you one thing for certain!" Old Supreme Kai stepped forward, patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid your worries are unnecessary."

"Eh? What do you mean?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.

"It is highly likely that in our timeline, the Evil Dragon you spoke of will not appear." Old Supreme Kai smiled with a mysterious look on his face.

"The Evil Dragon won't appear?" Sun Wukong was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Is it because as long as we don't overuse the Dragon Balls, we can prevent this from happening?"

"No, it's because someone far more terrifying than the Evil Dragon will appear here." Old Supreme Kai sighed up at the sky, though he was secretly amused, and looked at Sun Wukong with a grave expression.

"Lord Old Supreme Kai... you're saying someone more terrifying than the Evil Dragon will appear?" Sun Wukong was stunned, his eyes widening.

"Yes, his name is Beerus!" Old Supreme Kai said in a deep voice, "Known as the strongest God of Destruction in the universe, Beerus!"

"God of Destruction Beerus?" Sun Wukong had never heard of him.

"Correct." Old Supreme Kai nodded.

"More terrifying than the Evil Dragon?" Sun Wukong asked again.

"Based on my deductions, Beerus is at least 10,000 times stronger than the Evil Dragon you mentioned," Old Supreme Kai mused.

Sun Wukong: "..."

Sun Wukong was completely dumbfounded, unable to snap out of it for a long while.

10,000 times stronger than the Evil Dragon...

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, you're joking, right?" Sun Wukong said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Who's joking with you?" Old Supreme Kai huffed, "When I say 10,000 times stronger, that's just a conservative estimate. After all, I don't even know how strong Lord Beerus truly is; it could even be 100,000 or a million times stronger."

Sun Wukong: "..."
