Vados asked about Raditz's whereabouts, apparently issuing an eviction order. Didn't the translation of "what are you going to do next" essentially mean "hurry up and return to the Seventh Universe"?
From the perspective of long-term universal development, Vados's thinking was undoubtedly correct. Shuttling between the two universes shouldn't have too much impact, or it would cause various unimaginable problems.
Now it was impossible for Raditz to collect Dragon Balls, and he'd learned the fusion technique. With no more troubles like Broly, it was time to return.
But Raditz didn't want to go back. At this moment, he truly understood the gap in strength. Even after becoming a Super Saiyan God, he couldn't force twenty percent of Champa's power.
Beerus was sleeping in his own universe, and it was inconvenient to contact the God of Destruction's realm to accept training. Besides, the Seventh Universe should be very peaceful during this period—with Goku, Vegeta and the others around, plus Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, nothing major would happen.
After making his decision, Raditz met Vados's eyes: "I want to train under Lord God of Destruction."
"Eh?" Champa and Vados were taken aback simultaneously.
Obviously, neither had expected Raditz to give such an answer. Either take the initiative to go home, or be sent home—why was there a third option?
Vados covered her mouth and chuckled. "Hohohoho, what a surprise. You, as the Seventh Universe's apprentice Supreme Kai, actually want to learn from the Sixth Universe's God of Destruction?"
Champa was even more dismissive: "Send him back to Shin, Vados. He can eat Puff-Puff fruit when he returns."
"Understood, Lord Champa."
Their dimensions were different from Raditz's, and their considerations differed. In their eyes, there was no reason to agree to Raditz's request.
Wait—food? Raditz had an inspiration instantly.
"Lord Champa, I can provide you with delicious food that's definitely something you've never eaten before!"
Champa, who had already turned around, paused momentarily, then suddenly spun back around, looking at Raditz with curious and suspicious eyes. "Is what you're saying true?"
He wasn't interested in other things, except food.
He was moved by Raditz's statement and looked at Vados as if seeking advice. Vados deliberately turned one eye away and closed the other, humming a little tune with her head held high.
In addition to serving Gods of Destruction in daily life, what Angels probably did most during peacetime was tease them.
Seeing that Vados was noncommittal, Champa crossed his arms and made up his own mind: "Hmph, don't talk big. If you're lying to me, even if you're an apprentice Supreme Kai, I'll destroy you!"
"How could I deceive a God of Destruction? But if I really deliver, would you agree to my request?"
Champa hesitated for a while, thinking that an apprentice Supreme Kai was still half a Supreme Kai, and if he became official, he'd have the right to travel between universes at will anyway. Now was just a little earlier—there was no problem.
He glanced at Vados quietly again and said: "Fine! But my taste is very particular—you have to make something better than Puff-Puff fruit first."
"Three years, at most three years." Vados finally added. "And I need to confirm with Lord Shin."
"Of course. Can you let me speak with him?"
"No problem."
Less than two minutes later, Vados contacted Shin, and after confirming everything, both Shin and Kibito were taken aback. They'd been searching for Raditz's whereabouts throughout the universe, but who knew he'd drifted to the Sixth Universe—no wonder they couldn't find him no matter how hard they searched.
Raditz took this opportunity to communicate with the Supreme Kai, agreeing to return in three years, and asked Kibito to do a small favor by bringing news to everyone so they wouldn't worry.
At the same time, it was essential for Kibito to deliver the delicacies that Raditz needed.
Taking advantage of this time, Raditz also returned briefly to Planet Sadala to bid farewell to the Sixth Universe's Saiyans. After that, he followed Vados and Champa on their journey.
Raditz watched as Vados tapped her staff lightly, and a colored light band suddenly formed in the void—like the space-time tunnel of the Time Realm, but this was a faster-than-light passage connecting space. It was vast here, and outer galaxies couldn't affect their passage. Any laws of physics would be invalidated—only divine power could sustain them.
Bright light was pulled into countless silk threads, flowing around the three of them. Raditz, experiencing this for the first time, was amazed by the wonderful sight.
"Be careful, Mr. Raditz—don't let go, or it'll be dangerous if you fall out." Vados caught a glimpse of the curious Raditz from the corner of her eye and reminded him with a smile.
One sentence caused Raditz to quickly retract his protruding head.
Champa sneered that Raditz had never seen the world and began bragging about how magnificent his God of Destruction realm was.
Not long after, the brilliance disappeared, the dazzling spectacle vanished at the passage's end, and the three emerged in the air! It was Raditz's first time coming to the God Realm, which was at the same level as the Supreme Kai Realm, and his heart was shocked again.
The entire God of Destruction Realm was located on an inverted cone-shaped planet. Standing in the center was an ancient, massive sacred tree with vigorous, solemn momentum, as if supporting the heavens. Spreading out from the tree's base was a large expanse of green grass—quiet and verdant, fluttering like waves. In the center of the grass enclosure was also a green lake, clear and calm as a mirror, reflecting everything in the sky above.
Looking up from the ground, like the Supreme Kai Realm, there were bright star silhouettes in the background—perhaps nearby giant stars orbiting the galaxy's core. In the blue sky, it appeared deep and lofty, full of profound meaning.
The Sixth and Seventh Universes were symmetrical, and the God of Destruction Realm's layout was roughly the same, except that left and right positions were slightly reversed.
"Now I'm waiting for your delicious food. By the way, as a comparison, I'll let you taste Puff-Puff fruit!" Champa took out the fruit as if revealing some precious treasure and winked at Vados.
"I'll prepare it."
Vados tapped her staff, and all required materials appeared instantly. She approached and began making the dish.
Raditz looked at Champa's proud face and shook his head with mild distress. This guy had never eaten truly good food.
Looking at Champa's figure, he might have the advantage in food quantity, but was far behind Beerus in food appreciation. Champa's universe lacked Earthlings—while overall average combat effectiveness had increased, food culture seemed to have declined significantly. In comparison, Beerus was much luckier.
"Finished." Vados quickly completed cooking the fruit.
At this moment, the "delivery staff" Kibito and Shin also just arrived!
