Assemble at Zeno's Palace

The Zeno's Palace!

At this moment, the Zeno sat upright on his throne, with Zeno two guards standing straight on either side.

Standing in front of King Quan was an elegant and gentle man with light blue skin and a white slicked back hair. There was a light blue divine ring suspended behind his head. He was holding a staff and the belt button around his waist had the word "" engraved on it.

Grand Minister!

Like Whis and Vados, he is an Angel. Not only is he the chief steward of the Zeno, but he also possesses unfathomable power. Moreover, the Angel of the twelve universes are his children.

"This is so interesting, so interesting. Things are about to get chaotic again. There's just too much going on. Hey, Grand Minister, what's the current level of humanity in the twelve universes?"

The Zeno asked the Grand Minister.

The Grand Minister smiled faintly, his demeanor gentle, and said, "Universe 1 remains the strongest. Universe 12 has grown rapidly and is now second. The universes below haven't seen any significant changes; they've declined somewhat."

The Zeno's soft, gentle voice, like a machine, spoke the most ruthless and cold words, "Completely no growth. As expected, they still need to be destroyed along with the others, leaving only four universes. In that case, let the eight low-level universes participate in the Tournament of Power, and destroy the losing universes directly!"

The Grand Minister bowed slightly and said, "Understood, Zeno. I will inform the Angel in all universes immediately."

The staff appeared in the Grand Minister's palm, with a spherical crystal ball at its tip, surrounded by a ring.

"Angel of the universe, I am the Grand Minister, please respond!"

The Grand Minister made contact with the twelve Angel from the Universe 1 to the twelfth universe. The Angel, God of Destruction, and Supreme Kais from the first to the Universe 12 gathered in the Omni- Supreme Kai's Zeno's Palace, kneeling on one knee before the Zeno and the Grand Minister.

Universe 1, Angel: Awamo. God of Destruction: Iwan. Supreme Kai: Anato.

Universe 2, Angel: Sour, God of Destruction: Heles, Supreme Kai: Pell.

Universe 3, Angel: Campari, God of Destruction: Mosco, Supreme Kai: Eir.

Universe 4, Angel: Cognac, God of Destruction: Quitela, Supreme Kai: Kuru.

Universe 5, Angel: Cucatail, God of Destruction: Arak, Supreme Kai: Ogma.

Sixth Universe, Angel: Vados, God of Destruction: Champa, Supreme Kai: Fuwa.

Universe 7, Angel: Whis, God of Destruction: Beerus, Supreme Kai: Shin.

Universe 8, Angel: Korn, God of Destruction: Liger, Supreme Kai: Iru.

Universe 9, Angel: Mojito, God of Destruction: Sidra, Supreme Kai: L'ore.

Universe 10, Angel: Kusu, God of Destruction: Rumsshi, Supreme Kai: Gowasu.

Eleventh Universe, Angel: Marcarita, God of Destruction: Belmod, Supreme Kai: Khai.

Universe 12, Angel: Martinu, God of Destruction: King Supreme Kai: Agu.

"It's here! The Tournament of Power has finally arrived!"

At this moment, the Supreme Kai of God of Destruction, kneeling on one knee, thought to themselves, "Everyone has made preparations in advance, but we still can't help but feel a little nervous. Which four universes will be spared?"

Sixth Universe! Earth.

Inside the Human Emperor Palace! Ryan and Zhai Kou arrived at a secret chamber. The walls inside were inscribed with various spell characters, isolating the space from the outside world.

"Mother..."

"Zhai Kou, "Ryan said in a low voice. The one the two called "mother" was none other than Laira, the original West Supreme Kai of the Universe 7.

Laira didn't reply, but simply nodded calmly, looked at Ryan and Zhai Kou, and said, "The Angel of Destroyer Angel has sent the latest instructions: as long as we win the upcoming Tournament of Power, our mission will be over."

"Which lord... Mother, which lord is talking about an experiment for the sake of the Zeno- King?"

Zhai Kou recalled that scene from before, especially when he heard that the Zeno was going to ruin him. He almost went crazy. He didn't think that the Zeno was just saying it casually; he must have found out about his affairs.

"That's right! It's all for Zeno Ryan. After winning, when the Super Shenron makes a wish, he wants to restore all the universes that Zeno destroyed."

After learning everything about Zeno, Laira has given up her hatred for Zeno, but she will not forgive Beerus, the God of Destruction.

"Restore those destroyed universes? That's great, then Father and the others will survive too."

This was exactly what Ryan wanted to do. He had originally planned to restore the universes destroyed by Zeno after winning, which was also his own wish. An excited smile appeared on his handsome face.

Laira looked at her son. Although he hadn't reached her expectations, he was still quite good. At only twenty-something years old, Ryan's power was already comparable to that of Angel. Yet, he still hadn't met her expectations. She didn't understand; she couldn't figure out where she fell short of Number 18.

Ryan and Rose!

They share the same father, but different mothers. Furthermore, Ryan trained with the true Destroyer Angel.

Laira was indifferent to Ryan. After learning that Ryan had not met her expectations, she was no longer as concerned as before, and said indifferently, "Ryan, you can go down now. I have something to say to Zhai Kou."

"Ah, alright, Mother!"

Ryan nodded and left, somewhat dejected. It seemed that things could never go back to the way they were before. It wasn't like that before. He had disappointed Laira, or rather, Laira had placed too high expectations on him.

"Mother, you don't have to treat Ryan like this. You saw it yourself, he really did his best. How many people in the world can do what Ryan did? Even that person said that it's impossible for anyone to combine the Ultra Instinct and the Ultra Ego at the same time."

Zhai Kou couldn't stand it anymore and complained to his mother, Laira.

"Not enough..."

Laira practically screamed it out, her face contorted in pain. The once beautiful and kind West Supreme Kai was no more.

"Damn it, what exactly makes me inferior to that human-made trash? Others may not be good enough, but Ryan was created because of the Destroyer Angel, and he's now a failure. I wasted so much time nurturing him and even sent him to the Initial Universe to train with the Destroyer Angel."

Zhai Kou felt a pang of heartache for his younger brother. The "failure" that Laira spoke of could easily defeat him, not to mention Son Wuling Son Wuling, the father that Laira had always longed for.

Laira looked at Zhai Kou and couldn't help but snort coldly, saying, "This is nothing like you. Has living on Earth changed your nature? Shouldn't you hate Ryan? Why are you speaking up for him now?"

"I have never changed. Any obstacle in my way will be removed. Mother, I must take my leave now. The Tournament of Power is about to begin. It wouldn't be good if Champa and Vados found out about you."

Zhai Kou left the secret room, leaving Laira alone to continue practicing the Kaioken.

A surge of red energy coursed through her body, and a maniacal smile spread across Laira's face.

"Hahaha... Kaioken Cell suits me. It wasn't for nothing that I helped him develop his potential. I never thought I'd have the chance to defeat Beerus myself."
