On the green grass, a breeze swayed like a veil passing by, crisp against their faces.
Shin and Kibito arrived at the critical moment. When the two set foot on the ground, Vados laughed:
"Oh, it's really rare that Lord Shin came here in person."
"I thought it was better to come myself—this is really troublesome." Shin said somewhat embarrassedly.
Champa glanced at the Supreme Kai master and servant: "Hmph, didn't you say there was food? If I'm not satisfied, just take him away!"
"Well..."
"Lord Supreme Kai, give me the items!" Raditz greeted them and requested the things from Kibito.
When it came to gourmet food, he had such confidence that Champa would be unable to extricate himself after eating.
But just as Raditz was about to speak, the Supreme Kai grabbed his sleeve, leaning in with urgency.
"What are you planning?" he whispered, voice tense. "Gods of Destruction aren't known for their patience—don't provoke them."
Raditz shrugged, keeping his tone casual. "Isn't this all about dealing with that demon? Lord Beerus is still sleeping, right? Should we wake him up? You… or me?"
He shot a sidelong glance at Kibito.
Kibito's square face turned pale—almost green. He recoiled instantly, both hands waving frantically. "I-I can't! I absolutely can't!"
Wake up Lord Beerus?
That was the kind of decision that came with planet-breaking consequences. No one wanted to be the one responsible for that
The Supreme Kai looked at Kibito with contempt, making his old face turn red. After thinking again, it was indeed beneficial for Raditz to train in the God of Destruction Realm. He could receive guidance from both a God of Destruction and an Angel—his strength would definitely improve faster, so the chances of winning against the demon would be greater.
In three years, perhaps Raditz would become the strongest apprentice Supreme Kai ever!
Having an apprentice Supreme Kai train with a God of Destruction was unprecedented. Shin showed an indescribable smile and nodded: "Kibito, give him the capsule quickly."
"Yes."
Raditz took the capsule from Kibito, threw it lightly, and with a bang, a temporary house filled with food appeared! Bulma truly deserved to be the world's richest person—she'd prepared very well.
Champa and Beerus should have similar tastes, so Raditz had specially ordered extra puddings, sushi, instant noodles, and freshly made premium strawberry sundaes.
These items were presented before Champa and Vados in duplicate portions. The two examined them for a long time, looked at the fruit, confirmed with each other, and finally decided to try Raditz's food first.
Champa lifted the paper cover of the instant noodles with his plump hands, and suddenly a burst of rich broth fragrance wafted out, stimulating every nerve. Champa closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a first-love expression appearing on his face like a blush.
Smells amazing!
Unable to wait, Champa picked up the fork and began tasting the noodles. "Slurp—" he sucked them up, then started chewing. The flavor of the ingredients soaked to the root of his tongue, and the broth made his throat tingle. Champa drank the soup in one breath.
There seemed to be a volcanic eruption in his mind as the word "delicious" popped up.
Vados's eyes also brightened: "It's truly delicious, Lord Champa. Much more delicious than Puff-Puff fruit."
She'd just finished speaking when Champa had already moved to the next food. Every time he ate something, his heart surged as if moved, and tears even flickered in the corners of his eyes.
Champa realized he hadn't known what food was before—the things he'd competed with Beerus over couldn't even compare. At this moment, when he looked at those oval, speckled fruits, he had no interest at all.
In ten minutes, Champa had wiped out all the main dishes and desserts Raditz presented, without any waste.
"Ahh..."
After eating, Champa breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his belly, and smiled happily.
"How was it, Lord Champa?"
"Ahem, barely passable..." Halfway through speaking, Champa fixed his fiery gaze on Raditz. "Is there more food like this?"
Raditz pointed to the hemispherical temporary housing.
Champa made his decision immediately: "Then it's settled—you stay."
Is it that simple? The Supreme Kai and Kibito stood watching, not understanding Champa's thoughts, but since it was settled, the Supreme Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
The two spoke a few words with Raditz, then said goodbye to Vados and Champa, and left the God of Destruction Realm.
When Champa saw the Seventh Universe's Supreme Kai leaving, he couldn't resist getting some snacks to taste. Though he was greedy, he still had to maintain his image in front of outsiders. Now he was much more casual.
Vados raised her staff slightly, and a layer of dimensional barrier appeared around the house instantly. "Lord Champa, don't overeat. Look at your current figure—if you eat more, you'll get fatter. Three meals need to have rules."
"But..." Champa looked at Vados dejectedly with a pitiful expression.
"Then let's eat together after training is over." Vados walked up to Raditz with her staff in hand, saying with a smile, "Mr. Raditz, let's begin."
"Now?"
"I want to double-check your abilities first."
"Understood." Raditz nodded.
After comforting Champa with gentle words, Vados took Raditz to a temple-like space among the giant trees.
The two entered the front hall one after the other and saw three large characters carved on a stone tablet in the center. That font was ancient and sacred—divine script!
Raditz had studied divine characters while in the Supreme Kai Realm and recognized the three words: "God Trial Ground."
The God of Destruction Realm had a special training place called the "God Trial Ground." As the name suggested, this was where Gods of Destruction conducted trials. Raditz guessed that all prospective Gods of Destruction could achieve god-level power through training here, hence being called "gods."
Not only that, but unlike artificial gods like Super Saiyan God, what was created in the "God Trial Ground" was the true god realm!
Raditz himself was an apprentice Supreme Kai, possessing a trace of divine ki, but still didn't understand much about the so-called god realm. Through his Super Saiyan God experience, he'd touched the power of another dimension for the first time—a truly incomparable feeling.
It was as if his entire being had been sublimated.
The moment he stepped into the God Trial Ground, Raditz felt his body suddenly become heavy, as if entering a gravity training room. At the same time, the air became thinner, and the surroundings even felt somewhat sticky. Every step seemed stuck to countless external forces, making walking very difficult.
The scene before him was also very strange—the blue background felt peaceful and tranquil, with several rectangular pillars standing on open ground and nothing else. How could he train here? Was it still just gravity environment training? Too simple, right?
Vados was floating in the air, looking at Raditz with a smile: "Don't be surprised—just try it and you'll know. The God Realm's space isn't just what you imagine."
"I see."
Raditz walked forward with heavy steps, cautious in every movement. As he moved, the force dragging him from behind grew larger and larger. The gravity didn't change, but the environment began shifting, like the "meditation overload" that Master Pybara had created on Planet Yardrat when training mental strength.
The pillars before him also began switching positions...
