In Rhode's view, although the Super Saiyan God ritual had an element of trickery, it ultimately required him to master it himself, thus making it his own power. Most importantly, there were no negative side effects to comprehending and mastering the power of the divine realm through this method. Since that was the case, if the conditions were met, why refuse?
"Rhode, is what you said true? Does a Super Saiyan God really exist?" Goku and Vegeta had not yet responded, but Supreme Kai Shin spoke first, his expression full of doubt, as he had never heard of it either.
"Indeed!" Facing the Supreme Kai's question, Rhode nodded, and thinking of the reason for the Super Saiyan God's appearance, his gaze shifted to Goku and Vegeta, and he continued: "In fact, even if I hadn't come to your world, the Super Saiyan God would eventually have been born, also through a ritual. However, at that time, Earth would have been facing a crisis of destruction!" Although in the original story, Beerus eventually went back on his word, pretending to sleep and not destroying Earth, with so many parallel worlds, who knew if this particular world wasn't the one where Beerus fulfilled his promise? Similarly, Rhode didn't believe that the Beerus of the main world would necessarily not destroy Earth after waking up. This was also one of the reasons he constantly pursued power and improved himself. Rather than placing life and death in the hands of another's whim, it was naturally better to fully grasp it in his own hands.
"Really?" At this moment, hearing Rhode mention the potential future destruction of Earth, Goku immediately became very concerned.
"Of course!" Facing Goku's inquiry, Rhode nodded seriously, but did not elaborate. After all, even if Goku and the others transformed into Super Saiyan God now and continued to train diligently, wanting to surpass Beerus when he woke up would still be an extremely challenging endeavor. At this time, Supreme Kai Shin, who was beside them, heard Rhode's words, and combining them with the information he had previously received, his eyes flickered, deep in thought.
"When will the ritual to become a Super Saiyan God be held?" After receiving Rhode's confirmation that he wasn't lying, Goku immediately stopped hesitating and asked directly.
Hearing Goku's words, Rhode thought for a moment and said, "How about we go back to Earth first to reunite with our families, reassure them, and then hold the ritual after a rest?"
"Okay!" Seeing Rhode say this, Goku looked at everyone, especially lingering on the two little ones for a moment, and thinking of the relatives and friends he had been worried about before leaving, he immediately agreed. Seeing Goku's decision, Vegeta didn't say much, and Gohan, Piccolo, and the others naturally had no objections, thus it became everyone's decision.
"Since that's the case, let's go!" Seeing that everyone had no objections, Rhode, speaking, directly took the group and disappeared from the Kaioshin Realm, returning to Earth. When they reappeared, the group had already arrived at the Capsule Corporation campus in West City.
"In three days, let's gather here." After bringing everyone back to Earth, Rhode looked at them and made this agreement, then smiled and said, "Alright, go back and report your safety, get some good rest, see you in three days!" As he finished speaking, Goku, Gohan, and Goten said their goodbyes, then soared into the sky and left directly, followed by Piccolo.
Seeing Goku and the others leave, Rhode immediately looked at Vegeta, his smile unchanged, and spoke unceremoniously: "Vegeta, you're the host here, arranging a place for us to stay shouldn't be a problem, right?" Besides Rhode and Aira, Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito had also followed, wanting to witness the birth of a Super Saiyan God. Of course, besides that, Supreme Kai Shin also wanted to find his ancestor, the Old Kai, who was currently enjoying himself on Earth.
"Wait!" Hearing Rhode's request, Vegeta glared at him unhappily. However, thinking that this guy had saved his life no matter what, he then said a cold word and turned to find Bulma. Vegeta spent all his time training in the Gravity Chamber and was almost unconcerned with other matters. Therefore, arranging accommodation had to be done by Bulma. Afterward, Bulma returned with Vegeta, personally arranging accommodation for the group and specifically thanking Rhode for saving Vegeta's life.
Hearing Bulma's thanks, Rhode couldn't help but look at Vegeta twice, surprised that he would tell Bulma such things, as it was very uncharacteristic of him. However, surprise aside, he didn't dwell on the matter. Vegeta seemed arrogant and blustery, but in reality, he was very gentle with his wife and child, though his so-called pride rarely allowed him to show it.
Thus, after Bulma's arrangements, Rhode and the others officially settled down, and then he told Supreme Kai Shin the location of the Old Kai. As for what happened after Supreme Kai went to find the Old Kai, he didn't particularly care. In any case, the next time he saw Supreme Kai was three days later. And Supreme Kai Shin's gaze was somewhat evasive when facing Rhode, looking a bit embarrassed. That old guy corrupted the innocent Supreme Kai! Seeing Shin in such a state, Rhode couldn't help but inwardly grumble, then ignored it and quietly waited for Goku and the others to arrive.
"Hey! Rhode, we're here!" On the Capsule Corporation campus lawn, Goku's entire family arrived together. Seeing Rhode, Goku greeted him familiarly. As Goku's family appeared, Vegeta, Bulma, and Trunks also walked over.
"I heard you're holding some ritual to become a Super Saiyan God?" Just then, Piccolo, Krillin's family, Yamcha, and Puar, along with other Earth warriors, also arrived. Krillin even asked with a face full of curiosity.
"That's right!" Facing Krillin's words, Rhode nodded, then looked at the Saiyans: "Who wants to go first?" At these words, Goku, Vegeta, and the others remained silent, but their gazes all fell upon Rhode. Clearly, it was best for Rhode, the strongest, to be the first to try this new experience.
"Then I'll go first!" Seeing that it was the popular choice, Rhode didn't refuse, as there was no danger. "Trunks, Goten, you two fuse into Gotenks. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Aira, you all form a circle." As he spoke, Rhode began to arrange everyone for the ritual. Although it was unclear if the Super Saiyan God transformation was related to the strength of the individuals transmitting their energy, he decided to go with the strongest arrangement. With the preparations complete, under everyone's gaze, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Gotenks, and Aira held hands, and finally, Goku and Aira placed their hands on Rhode's back.
"Let's begin!" As Rhode's voice sounded, everyone began to transmit their energy.
