"Nonsense, how do you think I can win if you participate? Without the God of Destruction, who can beat you?" Champa said irritably.

Goku didn't explain much; it was simply the truth. If he were on the field, would Beerus still lose?

Beerus stroked his chin, looking at Champa, pondering whether or not to agree.

On second thought, with so many Divine Power Third Realm, what's there to be afraid of? It's a sure win, right?

"Alright, but don't cry if you lose." Beerus looked at Champa with a wicked grin.

"Ha! It's not certain who will win or lose yet!" Champa scoffed.

He didn't believe Beerus's luck was that strong; after Universe 7 produced Goku, it was still possible for someone with the Divine Power Third Realm or higher to emerge.

Hit, the strongest in their universe, has made great progress in strength over the past five years! His strength has reached the Divine Power Second Realm (200/400).

With his newly developed abilities, he can defeat anyone in the Divine Power Third Realm, of course, this is under the condition of being in the arena.

Hit owes his current strength to Goku; without Goku's provocation, Hit would never have achieved such power.

The speed at which his strength has improved in the past five years is on a completely different level compared to the previous millennium; it can be described as lightning fast.

Beerus, seeing Champa's confidence, didn't offer any further explanation. What was the point?

He wanted to see how Champa would react.

"When should we set the date?" Beerus asked Champa.

Since it was Champa it, let Champa decide the time and place.

"How about this time tomorrow, and the location is on your God of Destruction's Planet?" Champa said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, but what are the specific rules?"

"The match will be held on a ring, which will be protected by a barrier. Touching the barrier results in a loss."

"Each universe sends five people in a series of battles until one person is rendered unable to Power Level or comes into contact with the barrier, at which point the next person is replaced. If all five people lose, it signifies the defeat of that universe."

After deciding on the location, time, and specific rules of the match, Champa looked at Beerus with a smug expression.

" Beerus, I'm in a good mood today, so please enjoy the delicacies of Universe 6, Vados."

"Gourmet food?" Beerus asked with some skepticism.

His stomach has long been spoiled by Earth's food, and ordinary food is no longer of interest to him.

Upon hearing Champa call their names, Vados gently tapped the ground with her scepter, and a giant egg appeared in front of each person.

Even Broly and Vegeta have them.

"This is?"

Beerus looked at the enormous bird egg in front of him with some skepticism. It looked just like a regular egg, maybe a little bigger. How delicious could it possibly be?

"Haha, Beerus, you've never seen an egg like this before, have you?" Champa with a look of disdain.

"Tch, it's just a bird's egg."

"These aren't ordinary bird eggs; they're from the Dongdong Bird. No need for much processing; just boil them and they'll be a delicious treat," Champa patiently explained to Beerus.

How could he miss such a rare opportunity to show off?

Goku looked at Champa with a strange expression. This is supposed to be a delicacy? Luckily, he knew what was really going on.

It tastes just like a regular boiled egg.

It's quite satisfying to eat such a big egg, but that's about it.

"These eggs are already boiled for you. Just crack them open and have a taste. I guarantee you've never eaten anything so delicious."

Hearing Champa's words with some skepticism, Beerus peeled off the eggshell, revealing the pure white egg white inside.

Beerus opened his mouth, took a bite, chewed a few times, and then the taste of the egg itself came out.

After swallowing the food, Beerus looked at Champa with disdain. He had been hoping for this, but it turned out to be nothing.

This is just an ordinary egg, maybe a little bigger. Before I met Goku, I ate much better eggs.

"Hey, hey, hey! Beerus, what's with that look? Don't you like it?" Champa instantly snapped.

"It's alright, just a regular hard-boiled egg."

"Not bad? You're telling me this is just okay? Beerus, just admit you've never had anything this good before, there's no need to pretend." Champa looked incredulous.

"Heh, so ignorant. Well then, I'll show you what real gourmet food is." Beerus's lips curled into a smile, then he turned to look at Whis.

" Whis, do you have anything else to eat?"

"Hmm... it seems like only instant noodles are left."

"Only instant noodles left? Even the spicy snacks are gone?"

"Yes, and there are only a few packs of instant noodles left."

"Alright then, bring out those buckets of instant noodles and let some country bumpkin have a taste," Beerus said meaningfully.

It goes without saying who the bumpkin is, right?

"Hey, you skinny guy, who are you calling a country bumpkin?"

"I'm talking to you, you fat pig!" Beerus grinned.

"You'll see once you try instant noodles; you really were a country bumpkin before!"

Champa glared angrily at Beerus.

He'd better bear with it for now; he wanted to see if that instant noodle thing was really that delicious. If it wasn't, he'd see how he could retaliate with a sarcastic remark.

Whis a wave of his hand, a bucket of instant noodles appeared in front of each of them.

At this moment, the lid of the instant noodles has been lifted, a fork is stuck in the noodles, and hot steam begins to rise continuously, accompanied by the unique aroma of instant noodles.

Smelling the irresistible aroma of instant noodles, Champa stared intently at the noodles in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

"Hmph! How about it, Champa? Does it smell good? Want some?" A playful look appeared on Beerus's face.

"It smells delicious! I want to eat it!"

Champa, constantly lured by the aroma, had lost the ability to think; these words slipped out without any thought.

Seeing this, Beerus quickly lured Champa away; this was a rare opportunity.

So, are you a country bumpkin?

"I just... Pshaw! Beerus, don't go too far! Besides, it's just a scent, who knows if it tastes good or not?" Champa was still being stubborn.

The thought of almost confessing sends a chill down my spine; thankfully, I reacted quickly.

"Ha! Still being stubborn. How could something that smells so good taste bad? Why don't you try it and see?"

"Tch! I'll try it!" Champa said, glancing at the instant noodles in front of him.

He had been wanting to try it for a long time.

As soon as he took a bite of instant noodles, the man in the Champa froze on the spot.

It's so delicious!

He had never eaten anything so delicious before. Compared to instant noodles, what was Dongdong Bird's egg?

Champa devoured the instant noodles quickly, even finishing the soup, and looked like he wanted more after he finished eating.

Beerus watched quietly as Champa devoured his food, then quickly teased him after he finished, "How was it? Was it delicious?"

Champa ignored Beerus and instead blinked, seemingly recalling the taste from before.

He ate too fast, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. You can't blame him; blame the instant noodles for being too delicious.

Beerus laughed at Champa's appearance, but he understood.

Here, you can have this too.

Beerus gently pushed his portion of instant noodles toward the Champa, and the noodles slid smoothly to the Champa's front.

Beerus had been watching Champa the whole time; his share hadn't been touched yet.

Champa couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the steaming, fragrant instant noodles in front of him.

"Tch, who... who wants yours? I'm here today..."

Despite his words, Champa's hands and mouth seemed to have a mind of their own, as he took the instant noodles and put them directly into his mouth.

Mmm! It smells delicious!

"What is it?"

After slurping up a mouthful of noodles, Champa looked up at Beerus. Although he was very unwilling, the instant noodles were indeed delicious, much better than any of those Dongdong Bird eggs.

"Okay, you win. This is definitely delicious food."

"Hmph! Let me tell you, this isn't even the best food I've ever eaten. There are plenty of other delicious foods out there!" Beerus couldn't help but gloat.

But Beerus really managed to pull it off, Champa was incredibly envious.

" Beerus, where did you get all this delicious food? Can you tell me?" Champa couldn't help but lower his stance a bit.

What do these things matter when it comes to delicious food?

"Hmph! I'm in a good mood, so I'll mercifully tell you. I got it on a planet called Earth in our Universe 7." Beerus was clearly pleased with Champa's humble attitude and revealed everything directly and without reservation.

"Our Seventh and Universe 6 are twin universes, so normally your Universe 6 should also have an Earth."

"Earth? Vados, does our Universe 6 have an Earth?" Champa hurriedly asked Vados beside him.

Upon hearing the word "Earth," Vados instantly remembered that Goku had asked her the same question a few years ago when he visited their Universe 6.

It seems to have disappeared, according to Goku's words.

" Lord Champa, Goku should know the answer to this question." Vados chose to shirk his responsibilities.

" Son Goku?"

Upon hearing Vados's words, everyone turned to look at Goku.

"Yes, it did exist, but it's already destroyed, destroyed by the planet's own people," Goku quickly said, as everyone was watching him.

"What's destroyed? Damn it! It's all those stupid people's fault!" Champa was furious when he heard that Earth in his universe had been destroyed.

He wasn't interested in whether the Earth was destroyed or not; what truly angered Champa was that he couldn't eat the delicious food from Earth!

"Tsk tsk, serves you right, Champa! Now your Earth in Universe 6 is gone, isn't it? You can't eat it anymore, can you?" Beerus gloated from the side.

"Damn it! Beerus, don't be so smug! Can't I come to Universe 7 if I want to eat? Can't I just ask Son Goku and the others?" Champa roared.

"Tch, as a God of Destruction, why don't you stay in your own universe instead of running off to other universes?"

"What? Is there a rule that says it's not allowed?"

"Hmph! Get lost!"

"Hey! Don't rush, Beerus. Since the final stakes are all Super Dragon Balls anyway, how about I just find all the Super Dragon Balls from Universe 7?" Champa suggested to Beerus.

Beerus stroked his chin, glancing at Champa's smiling face, mainly worried that he might have some ulterior motives.

"Hmm? That's possible, but I'm worried you might get any funny ideas." Beerus narrowed his eyes, his tone filled with distrust.

"Damn it! Beerus, do you think I Champa, would be that kind of person?" Champa was furious and embarrassed.

He's a God of Destruction, after all; he wouldn't do something like this.

"Ha, who knows? Go find out, I'll trust you this once." Beerus ignored Champa's murderous glare.

"Hurry up and go, or you won't have enough people by the time the match starts." Beerus immediately saw them off.

"Hmph! Beerus, I think it's you who's upset! We're heading to Vados, and seeing someone here makes me feel bad." Champa made a sarcastic remark to Beerus.

Then, following Vados, it transformed into a streak of rainbow light and disappeared onto God of Destruction's Planet.

" Lord Beerus, have you decided which five people will participate?" Whis asked Beerus after Champa left.

"Isn't that simple? Vegeta, Broly, Goku's son Gohan, three Divine Power Third Realm, plus two more people at random, how could this lineup possibly lose?" Beerus said with a relaxed expression.

In the ordinary universe, it would be astonishing to find even one being at the Divine Power Third Realm; normally, being at the Divine Power Second Realm would be quite remarkable.

It seems that the universe of Champa and his people doesn't have the Divine Power Third Realm.

Even if there is one, so what? He himself unleashed the Divine Power Third Realm with a single move. Tell me, what can I say?

Beerus didn't include Bardock, since in a sense Bardock could no longer be considered a member of their Universe 7, but rather belonged to the Time Realm.

I'm afraid that Champa might use this as an excuse to act like a scoundrel.

Beerus knows Champa; this is something he would absolutely do if he lost.

" Lord Beerus, it's fine that Vegeta and Broly are here, but Goku's son might not be willing to participate," Whis reminded him from the side.

Vegeta and Broly have been receiving instruction from themselves and Lord Beerus on God of Destruction's Planet, and they will definitely agree to participate in this competition.

But Gohan might not be so lucky.

Everyone has their own path to becoming strong. Just as Goku is trying to find his own way to Ultra Instinct, Gohan also has his own path to walk.

Completely different from Goku's Ultra Instinct and Vegeta's Ultra Ego.

Therefore, he never came to the God of Destruction's Planet to train, and could have easily chosen not to participate in this competition.

Of course, Gohan's fighting skills are no less than Vegeta's; after all, he received instruction from Piccolo and Goku.

In particular, Goku's teaching of Gohan was incredibly dedicated. After all, if he didn't put his heart into teaching his own son, who would he teach with the same dedication?

"This... Goku, your son should be coming, right?" Beerus had long considered Goku a friend, so he naturally couldn't directly order Gohan.

"Hmm... he should come," Goku replied after a moment's thought.

"But actually, it doesn't matter whether you come or not, Lord Beerus, you will definitely win."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Beerus raised an eyebrow.

He suddenly remembered that Goku seemed to have been to Universe 6, and might know the strength of Champa's universe.

"When I went to Universe 6 five years ago, the strongest person Universe 6 was only at the Divine Power Second Realm. It's impossible for them to have reached the Divine Power Third Realm in five years."

Goku spoke with certainty.
