Angel Whis's Attention

At this very moment.

In the God of Destruction Realm, the highest domain of the universe.

A tall, slender figure dressed in peculiar clothes stood beside the lake in front of the God of Destruction Temple. His gaze was deep and his expression solemn as he watched the scene projected before him.

The scene playing was the battle that had taken place on Namek not long ago, specifically the moment when Ron had used his ultimate attack to kill Frieza.

His skin was a cool, pale blue, and his features were exceptionally handsome.

Most striking was his bright white hair, which stood straight up, rising twenty or thirty centimeters above his head. It was clear that his head didn't have horns that made his hair take this shape; rather, his hair naturally formed this style.

He also held a slender staff in his hand. The shaft was blue and gold, and a black orb encircled by a pale cyan ring floated above its tip.

This was the Angel Staff. The figure was none other than Whis, the Angel of Universe 7.

"Heh heh heh heh~~! How unexpected! A Saiyan has become a Super Saiyan, and he even defeated Frieza with such ease..."

Whis suddenly chuckled. As he spoke, he kept one hand behind his back and waved his staff, causing the scene to shift rapidly.

It was obvious that he was using his abilities to look up everything there was to know about Ron.

His movements flowed smoothly, without the slightest hesitation.

Every gesture and movement exuded the unique elegance and composure of an Angel, drawing people in and naturally inspiring them.

If Ron knew that Whis was watching and investigating him right now, he would surely be nervous.

After all, he was a transmigrator, and since arriving in this world, he had been trapped on the Primitive Planet. There had inevitably been times when he'd let his emotions out without thinking.

With an Angel's abilities, it was indeed possible to look into the past and the future.

"Though I'd long predicted that Frieza would be destroyed because of his excessive arrogance and conceit, I never expected him to be killed by a little fellow like this. And it seems this little fellow once called upon my true name for help..." In Whis's eyes, he saw some information about the past.

Though he couldn't see everything that had happened, he could use the power of time to glimpse many events from the past.

Most importantly, Ron had called his name on that planet, apparently hoping for his help to escape the predicament of being trapped.

Unfortunately, even if someone called his true name, it didn't mean they would attract his attention.

The universe was vast, after all, with countless life forms in it.

If someone he neither knew nor had ever met happened to call his name, was he supposed to take a closer look?

Only a being powerful enough to deliberately unleash their energy and use it to call out to him could enter his special perception.

For the most part, Whis blocked out useless signals and perceptions.

"Come to think of it, how did this little fellow learn of my existence? He seems to know a fair bit about Lord Beerus, too." Whis narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he found the situation amusing.

He suddenly recalled the prophecy made by the Oracle Fish before Lord Beerus fell asleep.

When Beerus next awoke, a Super Saiyan God might appear in the universe and become Lord Beerus's formidable rival.

Perhaps it would be this little fellow.

"How incredible. I'd originally thought it would be Little Vegeta, since he has good talent and potential... Or perhaps that true Legendary Super Saiyan... What was his name again? Oh, right, I think it was Broly..." Whis continued to muse aloud.

Clearly, Whis had always kept an eye on the surviving Saiyans.

He simply paid attention to the ones he thought were worth watching.

Ron and Kakarot, for instance, had never been within his field of observation to begin with.

Angels were indeed powerful beings who could know the future and travel through time to reach it.

But unless it was necessary, even Angels couldn't casually investigate the future.

Simply put, Angels weren't allowed to do anything that might alter the present timeline or universe. Otherwise, the rules would temporarily strip them of their power.

So Whis, in the current timeline, no matter how powerful he was, had no idea how the future would unfold.

Namek.

After talking for a while, they returned to the matter at hand.

"So, Ron, what are your plans from now on? Are you going to keep wandering the universe, or..."

"Enough, Kakarot. You don't have to keep testing me with that tone. I'll tell you plainly: I'm quite interested in Earth now, so I might settle there in the future. As for whether I'd do anything to threaten the world, if that were what I wanted, do you think I'd be wasting time talking with you here?"

After saying this, Ron narrowed his eyes.

Son Goku was no longer wary of Ron at all.

North Kai's earlier warning had made him somewhat anxious.

He'd worried that someone like Ron might be uncontrollable, that he could be evil, or that he might want to inherit the title of Emperor of the Universe from Frieza and continue wreaking havoc across the universe...

But after all this conversation and hearing what Ron had to say, he realized he'd been thinking the worst of him.

Ron still seemed like a strange person, but he was straightforward.

Even if Ron wanted to use him as a stepping stone in pursuit of greater power, he had the same sort of ambitions himself.

Honestly, Ron had been so frank that there was no need for either of them to hide anything.

Goku didn't think someone like that was bad.

More importantly, he hadn't sensed even a trace of evil in Ron's energy.

"If that's all, then I couldn't be happier. Having a strong fighter like you alongside me on the path of training will help me grow stronger, too," Son Goku said excitedly.

Ron gave a slight nod, then dropped out of his Super Saiyan state.

To be honest, he'd been giving off an incredibly intense pressure in his Super Saiyan form.

That was one of the reasons Goku and the others had been so tense and serious.

Now that he'd returned to normal, Krillin and Gohan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that they knew Ron wasn't an enemy, would settle on Earth in the future, and might even become an ally, they no longer had any reason to be wary or worried.

"Come to think of it, I should thank you for saving me earlier. Otherwise, Frieza probably would've killed me," Krillin said suddenly, thanking Ron.

He'd been holding those words in for a while.

He'd waited until he was sure Ron wasn't an enemy before saying them.

Hearing this, Ron replied nonchalantly, "No need. It was a trivial matter to me. I couldn't just stand by and let you die."

That was what he said, though inwardly he couldn't help grumbling.

If he hadn't saved Krillin, Son Goku would have become a Super Saiyan after Krillin was sacrificed.

If that happened, what would be the point of all this?

Still, fighting Super Saiyan Goku would be more interesting than fighting Frieza, and he'd have a chance to do that later.
