"Golden Frieza?!"
Goku frowned slightly upon hearing the name.
"That's right—Golden Frieza!"
Frieza smiled as he explained, "It's not just a flashy color change. I'm sure someone as close to godhood as you can sense the difference, right?"
"Yeah… I can."
A powerful fighting spirit rose in Goku's eyes. "I expected you to get stronger, but honestly… I didn't think you'd reach this level!"
"From what I can feel, I'm the stronger one."
Frieza laughed arrogantly. "Son Goku, this time… I'll let you experience death."
"No, no. I think we're about equal."
Goku refused to back down.
"No. I'm clearly superior!"
"Frieza, you're way too confident. It's obvious we're evenly matched!"
The two began arguing.
Soon, Frieza sneered, "Enough of this nonsense. Let's just fight and find out!"
"Exactly what I was thinking!"
Goku's gaze sharpened as he took a fighting stance in midair.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosive sounds rang out as both of them moved at the same time.
Bang! Bang!
A blue streak and a golden streak clashed repeatedly across the sky.
"…I can't see anything."
Krillin and the others fell silent. Their level was far too low—they couldn't follow the battle at all.
Zeru casually glanced at the fight, then placed two fingers on his forehead—
And disappeared.
The next second—
He appeared in the Destroyer Realm.
There was no need to keep watching. He already knew how this battle would end.
Moreover, Whis had just contacted him—
Which was why he came here directly.
At this moment, in the central area of Beerus's world tree—
Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6, and Vados had already arrived.
Walking behind Vados with a slouched posture was the purple, chubby Champa.
"Vados… do you think Beerus will agree to a friendly exchange match?"
Champa asked in a low voice, looking uncertain.
"Lord Champa, based on Lord Beerus's personality… he probably won't agree."
Vados thought for a moment before smiling.
"Tch! That last Super Dragon Ball… why can't I find it?!"
Champa gritted his teeth, clearly frustrated.
As Beerus's twin brother, he shared the same love for food—if anything, he was even more obsessed.
He had already eaten everything worth eating in Universe 6.
That was why he came to Universe 7—
To gather the Super Dragon Balls and wish for the most delicious food in existence.
Vados simply smiled, saying nothing.
Suddenly—
Both Champa and Vados stopped walking.
Inside Beerus's palace—
"Whis… is that annoying guy here again?"
Beerus, still in his sleepwear, slowly sat up with a frown.
"Yes, Lord Beerus. Lord Champa and my sister have arrived."
Whis smiled. "And I've also called Zeru over."
Beerus let out a cold chuckle. With a step forward, a flash of light enveloped him.
When it faded—
His sleepwear had been replaced by his usual attire.
"Then let's see what he wants this time."
Beerus walked out calmly, hands behind his back.
Soon—
Beerus and Whis met Champa, Vados, and the arriving Zeru along a path.
"Champa, what are you doing here?"
Beerus frowned.
"I can come here whenever I want—…wait, no, no."
Champa quickly corrected himself, forcing a laugh.
"I should be more polite this time. After all, I came to discuss something important."
"Oh?"
Beerus narrowed his eyes slightly.
"My purpose is simple. I want to hold a tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7!"
"Hah?! Hahaha!"
Beerus burst out laughing.
"Champa, are you joking?"
"What are you laughing at?!"
Champa's expression darkened.
He had already lowered himself enough—and yet Beerus was mocking him?
"I'm telling you, Beerus! If I hadn't failed to find the last Super Dragon Ball in your Universe 7, I wouldn't even—"
"Lord Champa."
Vados gently tapped her staff, interrupting him.
"Mm?"
Whis's his gaze sharpened as he looked at his sister, a faint smile appearing.
"Champa… you've got some nerve."
Beerus's expression turned cold.
"So you've been sneaking around my Universe 7 for a while now, haven't you?"
"Of course not! If you don't believe me, ask Vados!"
Champa wiped the sweat from his forehead, avoiding eye contact entirely.
He was clearly guilty.
"Heh."
Beerus chuckled coldly.
They were brothers—he knew Champa far too well.
After staring at him for a moment, Beerus narrowed his eyes and decided to press further.
"Champa, stop playing games. Tell me your real reason for this tournament."
His tone turned dangerous.
"You know exactly what kind of person I am."
Champa hesitated.
He was about to make something up—
But the cold glint in Beerus's eyes made him panic.
"Fine! I'll tell you!"
Champa blurted out.
"My goal is simple. If Universe 6 wins… you'll use all of Universe 7's resources to help me find the last Super Dragon Ball hidden in your universe!"
