"Hahaha! Of course I'm confident! Just wait and see—I'll definitely make it into the main tournament!"
"Hold on. Is making it into the main tournament your only goal? That's way too low!"
"Forget about me. What about you?"
"Hmph! I don't know whether our universe will win in the end, but I'll definitely earn at least one point for our universe!"
"Wow..."
The conversations inside the tavern drifted into Zamasu and Primo's ears, causing the two to exchange glances.
"Mr. Zamasu, what exactly is this Universal Martial Arts Tournament? Could it have something to do with the rise in their Mortal Level?" Primo asked.
"I'm not sure. This is only the first planet we've investigated. We'll need to gather more information before we can determine whether there's a connection."
After taking his seat, Zamasu ignored the wine brought by the server and focused entirely on listening to the discussions around him.
After a while, they discovered that this so-called Universal Martial Arts Tournament involved not just one universe—but two.
"My goodness!"
Primo immediately became excited.
Zamasu frowned and looked at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Mr. Zamasu, this tournament brings together the strongest fighters from two universes. It feels just like the Candidate God of Destruction Battle from back then! Even though the scale is a little smaller, it's still incredibly exciting!"
The more Primo spoke, the more animated he became.
"Even I can't help wanting to participate in a tournament like this!"
"..."
Zamasu was speechless.
How could there be such foolish humans in this world?
It was merely a martial arts tournament. Why were they so excited? Why were they looking forward to it this much?
He cursed inwardly before glancing around the tavern again.
Judging by everyone's reactions, the influence of this tournament was clearly enormous.
As a Candidate Supreme Kai, he naturally understood that when a single event could drive an entire universe into a frenzy, it would also stimulate motivation, competition, and ambition throughout that universe.
And when that happened, the universe itself would naturally develop in a positive direction.
In other words, this Universal Martial Arts Tournament was very likely connected to the recent changes in Universe 7.
"But who exactly organized this tournament?"
"And if they're competing against another universe, which universe is it?"
Zamasu continued speculating.
Unfortunately, he learned none of that from the tavern patrons.
"Let's go. We'll verify this in a few more star systems. If the entire universe is discussing this tournament, then we can draw a conclusion."
Zamasu rose from his seat.
"Alright."
Primo calmed himself. He didn't think too deeply about it. His main purpose for joining this trip was simply to protect Zamasu.
After leaving the tavern, the two flew to an open area, where Zamasu once again brought out the Universe Travel Cube.
Just as they were preparing to leave the planet—
Suddenly!
Whoosh!
Three figures appeared directly in front of them.
One old.
One young.
And one built like a raging bull.
The moment they appeared, Primo's body instinctively tensed.
Especially the burly man, who exerted an immense pressure on him.
"How is this possible?"
Primo swallowed hard.
In his perception, that muscular man's power hadn't even reached the Divine Realm.
Yet Primo himself possessed Fifth-Tier strength, and for some inexplicable reason, he felt a deep sense of fear.
It was absurd.
"Wait... their clothing!"
Primo finally noticed that the old man and the young man were dressed in Supreme Kai attire.
As for the muscular giant, he was also wearing clothing associated with the Supreme Kai Realm.
"So they're..."
Just as Primo was about to speak—
Zamasu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Supreme Kai of Universe 7."
Hearing this, Primo immediately relaxed and bowed as well.
"Greetings, Supreme Kai of Universe 7."
While bowing, however, he paid almost no attention to the Old Supreme Kai or Shin.
Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Broly.
Broly gave him a very strange feeling.
Aside from that inexplicable pressure, his appearance made him look like a Candidate God of Destruction.
Yet Primo couldn't sense any divine authority corresponding to such a position.
Unlike Primo, Zamasu kept his eyes on the Old Supreme Kai and Shin.
He also found Universe 7's Supreme Kais rather strange.
Normally, a universe should only have one Supreme Kai and one God of Destruction.
Yet Universe 7 had two Supreme Kais standing before him.
What Zamasu didn't know was that Universe 7 had originally possessed six Supreme Kais.
"And which universe do you two Candidate Supreme Kai and Candidate God of Destruction come from?"
The Old Supreme Kai stood with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were exceptionally sharp, and his tone carried overwhelming authority.
Even Shin was stunned by the image his ancestor was projecting.
Was this really the same ancestor who loved reading dirty magazines?
In truth—
The Old Supreme Kai already knew these two men's identities from Whis.
The reason he asked anyway was simple:
He wanted to give them a proper show of authority.
As the saying goes, guests should be treated with courtesy.
But aside from Universe 6, every other universe had a history of conflict with Universe 7.
How could they possibly be considered guests?
Which meant that these two coming to Universe 7 was almost certainly not for anything good.
"My name is Zamasu, and this is Primo. We come from Universe 10."
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Zamasu's forehead.
The pressure emanating from this old man was even more intimidating than that of his own master.
"So, you're from Universe 10."
The Old Supreme Kai pretended to have just realized it.
He slowly circled around Zamasu and Primo, carefully examining them from head to toe.
Especially Zamasu.
In the Old Supreme Kai's eyes, there was something about this man that felt indescribably strange.
