"Oh? Super Dragon Balls?!"
Hearing Champa's words, Beerus's his gaze sharpened slightly. Then he glanced at Whis and said, "If I remember correctly, a God of Destruction sneaking into another universe to collect things is considered a serious crime, isn't it?"
"Beerus, don't push it too far!"
Champa's expression changed immediately. "Fine! If you win this tournament, I'll give you the six Super Dragon Balls I've already collected!"
"What would I need them for?"
Beerus replied indifferently.
Champa frowned and said, "The Super Dragon Balls can grant any wish. Anything at all. You love food, don't you? Just imagine wishing for the most delicious food you've never tasted—wouldn't that be perfect?"
"Oh?"
Beerus's eyes lit up instantly.
"Alright. In that case, I accept this tournament."
Champa nodded confidently, but suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Zeru, frowning again.
"But I don't think Zeru should be allowed to participate!"
"Why not? He's from Universe 7!"
Beerus narrowed his eyes with a cold smile. "Besides… you haven't even explained the rules. Can you and I fight personally as well?"
If Gods of Destruction were allowed to participate—
Then Champa might as well just hand over the Super Dragon Balls right now.
After all, Beerus alone could wipe out all of Universe 6's fighters.
"Gods of Destruction fighting?! Beerus, are you asking to die?!"
Champa snorted coldly. "And even if Zeru participates, he absolutely cannot fight at equal levels, nor can he use that… erasure ability!"
"No!"
Beerus's expression changed instantly. "If that's the case—"
Seeing Beerus react so strongly, Champa's face immediately lit up with pride.
"If that doesn't work, then there's no point in holding this tournament. A competition should be fair, after all!"
Beerus opened his mouth, his face still tense.
"No 'buts'! Beerus, what—are you scared? Don't you trust your own universe's fighters?"
Champa pressed aggressively.
"You… fine! I just hope you don't go back on your word when you lose!"
Beerus's expression shifted again, but this time he looked calm.
At this moment—
Zeru and Whis exchanged a glance.
Both had faint smiles in their eyes.
Champa… was about to be completely fooled.
Champa might not realize how terrifying Zeru had become—
But Beerus knew very well.
This was nothing more than Beerus setting a trap.
"Lose?"
Champa burst into laughter, glancing at Vados.
"Impossible! You clearly haven't seen the strength of my Universe 6!"
"Enough, I don't care for your bragging."
Beerus waved a hand, cutting him off. "Just remember—don't go back on your word."
"Don't worry! I am Champa, God of Destruction of Universe 6! My word is absolute! If I lose, I'll accept it—no backing out!"
Champa pounded his chest confidently.
Seeing his confidence, Beerus smiled faintly.
He suspected Champa had found some strong fighters—
But no matter how strong they were—
Could they surpass Zeru?
Impossible.
In Beerus's eyes, this tournament was already a guaranteed victory.
Meanwhile—
Back on Earth.
The battle between Golden Frieza and Goku had reached its climax.
Though their powers were close, Vegeta's presence tipped the balance.
In the end—
The two Saiyans joined forces and sent Frieza back to hell once again.
Three days later.
Kame House, Earth.
Everyone had gathered together.
Beerus explained the tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
Naturally, Goku was the first to jump up in excitement, raising his fist eagerly.
For someone like him—
How could he resist a tournament like this?
After a while, Goku asked, "Zeru, are you joining too?"
Zeru nodded with a smile.
"I will. But… I'll go last. If you guys can't handle it, I'll step in."
Since he knew the original story, he was aware that Universe 7 would win in the end—barely.
But this tournament—
Was just an appetizer.
The real main event—
Would be the Tournament of Power Hosted by Zeno.
That was where things truly began.
As for future events—
Zeru still remembered parts of them: Merus, Moro…
But those were far off.
No need to think about them now.
"No problem at all!"
Beerus was clearly pleased that Goku and the others agreed.
"Two days from now, I'll come pick you up."
With that, Beerus and Whis left.
Zeru, however, didn't follow them.
Instead—
He had another plan.
Over the next two days—
He wanted to spar with Goku.
Now that Goku had mastered Super Saiyan Blue, his strength had risen tremendously.
For Zeru—
This was the perfect opportunity to test himself.
After sharing his idea—
Goku immediately agreed, his excitement obvious.
