"What!?"
Hearing Son Gohan's words, Shin immediately cried out in shock.
Seeing the stunned look on Shin's face, Son Gohan could understand. After all, in the original story, Shin had been extremely afraid of the God of Destruction.
"Shin, you're a Supreme Kai whose status is equal to that of the God of Destruction. Why are you so afraid whenever the God of Destruction is mentioned?" Son Gohan asked doubtfully.
Even before his transmigration, when Son Gohan had read the original story, he had found it strange. Their positions were clearly equal, and in other universes, Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction stood on equal footing. So why was there nothing but fear here?
"Well, how should I put this..." Shin was too embarrassed to say it for a moment.
"Is it because God of Destruction Beerus is simply too powerful, and since you've only recently taken office, you've only heard of his reputation and therefore hold him in awe?" Son Gohan could only smooth things over himself.
In truth, Son Gohan could guess why Shin was afraid of Beerus.
The first reason was for the sake of the plot—to emphasize just how powerful and terrifying Beerus was. Even the Supreme Kai, the highest god Son Goku and the others knew of at the time, feared him deeply, building up the audience's anticipation.
The other reason was that Shin had only held the position of Supreme Kai for a short time. Asking him to face a deity whom even the previous generation had feared would naturally leave him with a sense of fear from childhood.
Then there was the gap in their strength. If he used Son Gohan's latest combat power scale, with a Supreme Kai rated as one, then a God of Destruction might be rated in the tens
