The Inspector Is Coming

At the same time, Beerus flipped over and landed right in front of Whis, his gaze extremely hostile!

Facing the menacing Beerus, Whis remained perfectly calm and said with a smile, "Lord Beerus, you were sleeping far too deeply. I had no choice but to wake you this way!"

The moment he finished speaking, Beerus's bed crashed onto the ground with a thunderous boom!

"What is it? You'd better explain yourself, or else..."

Whis was Beerus's attendant angel, as well as his teacher!

But if Beerus died, Whis would also fall into slumber and wait for the next God of Destruction to appear!

Although Beerus was the strongest God of Destruction and had even mastered half of the Ultra Instinct, he was truly no match for Whis in a real fight!

At this moment, Beerus was merely disgruntled and wanted Whis to give him an explanation!

After all, he was a God of Destruction. He could not possibly have no temper after someone disturbed his sweet dream!

"Lord Beerus, there truly is a reason for this. Please calm down first—there is indeed something important!"

Whis spoke calmly!

"Hmph, go on. What is it?"

Beerus gave an arrogant snort!

By now, Beerus's anger had already subsided. After all, his strength was inferior to Whis's. If they really fought, he would definitely be the one getting beaten up!

Looking at the still somewhat angry Beerus, Whis smiled faintly and said!

"Lord Beerus, we just received word that the Inspector is coming here to inspect your work!"

Hearing this, Beerus froze for a moment before muttering to himself!

"The Inspector?"

"Why does that sound so familiar?"

Then his expression turned panicked, and he asked nervously, "The Inspector you mean—is it the one personally appointed by Lord Zeno to oversee the work of divine officials throughout all the universes?"

Whis replied with a smile, "That's right, Lord Beerus!"

"According to the information sent by Lord Zeno, the new Inspector, Lord Ōten, has already left the Omni-King's Palace and begun inspecting the various universes!"

"Gulp!"

Beerus swallowed hard!

"You mean the Inspector is coming to Universe 7?"

Sensing that Beerus had grown flustered, Whis looked at him with a smile!

"According to the news we just received, Lord Ōten is currently on Earth in Universe 7, and he will soon arrive at the Destruction God's Realm!"

Beerus's eyes immediately widened like bells, and he roared, "What did you say?"

"The Inspector has already arrived on Earth? And he's coming to the Destruction God's Realm?"

Whis nodded with a smile!

The position of Inspector had been vacant for more than a million years, allowing the divine officials of each universe to develop some bad habits. For example, Beerus would sleep for tens of thousands of years at a time!

It had not been like this when the previous Inspector held office. The Inspector wielded oversight authority; someone like Beerus, who slept for ten thousand years at a time, would probably have been replaced countless times already!

Thus, all the divine officials held this special Grand Minister in awe and fear. After all, a single word from him could determine their future!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Beerus's mind. If he offended this Inspector, his career as a God of Destruction might very well be over!

Beerus immediately panicked and began pacing back and forth, clearly restless!

Then he said, "Whis, should we go to Earth and welcome the Inspector? After all, he's already on the territory of our Universe 7!"

Yet Whis still wore that irritating, half-smiling expression and gave no indication of his thoughts!

"That is entirely up to Lord Beerus!"

Looking at Whis, who was smiling as he tossed the question back at him, Beerus grew somewhat displeased!

"..."

Beerus fell silent, while Whis continued to look at him with that smiling expression!

Beerus would sleep for tens of thousands of years at the drop of a hat, which had always left Whis helpless. This visit from the Inspector was the perfect opportunity to make Beerus correct his bad habits!

As an angel, Whis had always been Beerus's teacher, servant, and supervisor!

But after Beerus's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds under Whis's guidance, he had become somewhat lazy. Every day, all he did was eat delicious food and sleep, giving Whis a terrible headache!

As Universe 7's guardian angel, Whis had always fulfilled his duties conscientiously. He had trained Beerus well enough that Beerus ranked among the strongest of all Gods of Destruction!

But in the past several tens of thousands of years, Beerus had reached the terminal stage of laziness, leaving Whis completely helpless!

As Universe 7's guardian angel, Whis would be lying if he said he held no resentment toward Beerus. With the Inspector coming this time, he had made up his mind to ensure that Lord Beerus properly corrected these bad habits!

While Whis was deep in thought, Beerus suddenly said, "No, I should still go welcome the Inspector!"

Although he had long heard of the newly appointed Inspector, he had never actually met him even once!

At that moment, Whis shook his head and said with a smile, "Lord Beerus, the Inspector clearly stated that he will come here as soon as he finishes his business. If you go there rashly and make the Inspector unhappy, I will not be responsible!"

Hearing this, Beerus's expression changed drastically. Then he sighed and said, "Then hurry and tidy up the Destruction God's Realm. We'll wait quietly for the Inspector's arrival!"

Earth!

At this moment, Ōten and Son Gohan sat in Bulma's home, quietly waiting for the food to be served!

After Bulma revealed Ōten's identity, everyone felt uncomfortable staying there, so they all said they had things to do and departed one after another!

"Don't worry, Lord Ōten!"

"The food Aunt Bulma makes will definitely be delicious!"

Son Gohan spoke from the side!

"Gohan, you don't need to call me 'Lord' from now on. Just call me Ōten!"

Ōten said directly in response to the overly polite Son Gohan!

Having traveled through time from 2022, Ōten did not care much about forms of address. After all, his era valued equality for everyone!

"Alright, Mr. Ōten!"

Seeing how approachable Ōten was, Son Gohan could not help but smile a little more!

"Son Gohan, I asked you from the very beginning whether you wanted to become even stronger than you are now!"

"And your answer satisfied me greatly. How about following me from now on?"

Ōten truly did not want such a gifted Saiyan to be buried like this. He believed that with training, Son Gohan could definitely become a super warrior no weaker than Son Goku!

Furthermore, in the Tournament of Power that Lord Zeno would hold later, Universe 7 would have one more source of strength to deal with Jiren!

Because Ōten had been an Earthling before crossing over, he had an inseparable attachment to Earth. He did not want this beautiful planet to be erased by Lord Zeno!

"Mr. Ōten, I want to become strong!"

"I'm willing to follow you!"

"But my mother..."

Son Gohan had also experienced several great battles to protect Earth. Every crisis had relied on his father, and he wanted to protect Earth with his own strength as well!

"Fine, since you're willing, you'll have to handle your mother yourself; after all, I'm not exactly good at dealing with these kinds of things!"

Faced with Ōten's irresponsible answer!

Son Gohan: "..."

Just then, Bulma brought over a whole table full of delicious food!

Bulma smiled and said, "Lord Ōten, please enjoy!"

In truth, Bulma had heard every word of Ōten and Son Gohan's conversation!

Her thoughts differed from Chi-Chi's. She was happy for Gohan, because she understood that this was an opportunity!
