"Vermoud! Hmph! In this Tournament of Power, Universe 7 will undoubtedly triumph! Just wait obediently to be mercilessly erased by Lord Zen'ō (King of All)!"
Beerus glared fiercely. Even though Whis stepped in to restrain him, Beerus refused to back down. He jabbed a finger straight toward Vermoud's nose and continued shouting insults.
Beerus was filled with indignation. Had Whis not intervened, Beerus likely would have lost control of his anger and started another battle right then and there.
His muscles were tense, and veins bulged across his forehead like a ferocious beast on the verge of breaking loose.
Vermoud, on the other hand, was no pushover. In response to Beerus's provocation, he immediately fired back:
"Damn you, Beerus! Stop spouting nonsense!"
"I'm telling you, the one who will win this Tournament of Power will definitely be from Universe 11!" he roared back just as loudly.
"Heh heh, Beerus, it's still unknown who will win. Let time prove everything. We'll see who laughs last!" Vermoud smiled sinisterly, his narrow eyes gleaming with a chilling, venomous light.
Just as the two remained locked in confrontation, ready to explode with tension, a strange, mocking voice suddenly drifted over from nearby.
"Well now, well now... who's arguing with whom here? Could it be you're eager to start fighting already?"
Everyone turned toward the voice.
A large, humanoid mouse-like figure slowly approached.
It was Quitela, the God of Destruction of Universe 4. Walking beside him was Korn, the elegant angel of Universe 4.
Quitela wore a playful grin that seemed permanently fixed on his face. His narrow eyes squinted with schadenfreude as if he were hoping Beerus and Vermoud would start fighting so he could enjoy the spectacle.
Trunks instinctively looked toward Quitela's group.
The fighters behind him appeared to be the same ones from the original story. Trunks sighed in relief. It seemed like Universe 4 wouldn't be too troublesome after all.
"Oh? So it's Beerus," Quitela sneered, baring a row of uneven teeth.
"My, my, it's been a long time. Every time I see your self-righteous face, I get irritated."
He winked deliberately at Beerus, his provocation unmistakable.
Yet Beerus showed no intention of retreating. He straightened his posture and replied coldly.
"Hmph! You foul-smelling rat. We haven't seen each other in a while, indeed."
"But I should remind you... Today might very well be the last day we ever meet."
The verbal sparring between the gods of destruction made Bulma begin to complain quietly from the side.
She whispered to Trunks, "Big brother, why does it feel like Lord Beerus isn't very popular? The two new Gods of Destruction both seem to have a problem with him."
"Are we going to be targeted?"
Before Trunks could answer, Frieza spoke up with a chuckle.
"Hohoho...that is simply Lord Beerus's style. If he weren't so domineering, I, Frieza, wouldn't fear him at all."
[Hohoho... So what if we're being targeted? Aside from those Gods of Destruction, this great king doesn't put any of them in his eyes at all!]
Bulla rolled her eyes at Frieza, then waited for Trunks's answer.
Her question made Trunks fall into deep thought.
(Being targeted is inevitable. With Beerus's way of doing things, falling asleep during Zen'ō's hide-and-seek event and nearly causing the erasure of several universes, it's only natural he'd provoke public resentment.)
Trunks's inner thoughts drifted into Vegeta's mind, causing his expression to stiffen slightly.
At this point, however, complaining about Beerus felt meaningless. He slowly walked over and positioned himself between Trunks and Bulla.
"Whatever. Whoever dares to target us...we'll make sure they never return."
At that moment, Vegeta's aura surged, instantly boosting everyone's morale. The anxiety in Bulla's heart finally eased, and she soon started complaining again.
"Why do all these Gods of Destruction look so ugly? Not a single one looks normal! But those Angel sisters are all so beautiful."
As she spoke, she looked appreciatively toward Angel Kusu and Marcarita.
Unfortunately, Beerus overheard her remark. He turned his head sharply and shouted, "Hey! What are you muttering about over there?!"
Bulla waved her hands nervously. After all, speaking badly about someone behind their back wasn't good. She quickly apologized.
"N-Nothing! Lord Beerus, I was talking about the Gods of Destruction from the other universes!"
"I think the boss is right," Super Perfect Cell quickly added when he noticed Beerus getting annoyed. "Among all the gods of destruction, Lord Beerus is definitely the most handsome."
Beerus let out a cold snort.
After spending three years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together, he was no longer as intolerant of such jokes as he once had been. He merely responded with a disdainful huff through clenched teeth.
His gaze sharpened as he raised a hand and pointed forward, shouting, "
"Listen carefully! If you encounter fighters from those two universes, defeat them without mercy! Especially that group wearing tight suits over there; they're irritating just to look at!"
However, before he could finish speaking, a shocking change occurred above the previously calm arena.
A magnificent and imposing giant throne appeared out of thin air without warning at a perfect vantage point overlooking the entire stage.
Moments later, a figure with a soft, rubber-like head slowly materialized.
The Supreme Zen'ō (King of All) had arrived.
At the same time, two tall attendants appeared silently at Zen'ō's left and right sides, standing perfectly straight like pencils.
Even more striking was the imposing figure standing beside Zen'ō, the Great Priest, who held authority over all.
The expressions of all the present Gods of Destruction and Kaioshin changed drastically upon seeing this scene.
The angels stood perfectly upright, respectfully awaiting their arrival.
None of the Gods of Destruction or Kaioshin dared show the slightest disrespect. They all dropped to one knee at the fastest possible speed and shouted in unison:
"Lord Zen'ō! Great Priest!"
