In the direction of Universe 6, a Universe-Traveling Cube shot across the void at high speed.
Champa frowned in confusion.
"Why is it moving so fast? Did something happen?"
"Lord Champa, the Saiyan race has… quite the background."
"What do you mean?"
Champa scratched his head, completely lost.
Vados spoke while trying to contain her excitement.
"My father once told me something—during the super-ancient era, a Saiyan actually challenged Lord Zeno."
"What?!!!"
The speed of their Universe Cube instantly surged.
Universe 4 — Realm of the God of Destruction
Quitela had already been brought back to Universe 4 for some time by Cognac.
"AAAHHH!!"
"It… it hurts!!"
After awakening, Quitela rolled across the grass in agony—his soul and his body were both wounded, the combined pain nearly unbearable.
"D-dammit! It's not like I targeted Universe 7's Supreme Kai!"
"Things like this happened in other universes too!"
"Why would Lord Zeno punish only me?!"
"I refuse to accept this!!"
Quitela slammed his fists into the ground. The dual torment of soul and flesh drained all color from his face.
This double-layered injury would haunt him for a lifetime—unless he somehow healed both his physical and spiritual wounds.
But even if healing were possible, it would take at least a billion years.
"Cognac… is there any way to heal me?" Quitela forced himself to stand, trembling through the pain.
"Lord Quitela, your wounds were inflicted by Lord Zeno himself. I have no means of undoing them…"
Cognac paused for a moment, staff in hand.
"…Unless… another method exists."
Quitela's eyes lit up.
"What method?!"
"The Super Dragon Balls."
He glanced sharply toward the region between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
"Super Dragon Balls?"
"Lord Quitela… maybe you shouldn't think about that. They would never lend them to you."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Cognac hesitate, Quitela grew suspicious.
Cognac sighed and finally explained:
"The Super Dragon Balls belong to the Dragon God Zalama. There are a total of seven."
"If you collect all seven, they can summon the Super Shenron."
"Super Shenron can grant nearly any wish. Healing your injuries… that would be trivial."
"There's something that incredible?!"
Quitela nearly forgot his pain as excitement surged through him.
"Where are they? Hurry—take me to them!"
Take him to find them?
Cognac fell silent.
The Super Dragon Balls exist only across Universe 6 and Universe 7.
And Quitela had just sent assassins to kill a disciple belonging to Universe 7.
Why would anyone lend him anything?
Seeing Cognac's expression, Quitela grew anxious.
Could the Super Dragon Balls really be that hard to obtain?
"Cognac, you don't want to watch me die from pain, do you?! Please… just tell me where the Super Dragon Balls are! Even if they're hard to find—"
He didn't get to finish.
Cognac shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Quitela, the Super Dragon Balls exist only between Universes 6 and 7. How would you even reach them?"
RUMBLE!
Like a bolt of divine thunder, the revelation struck Quitela. His legs gave out and he stumbled two steps back.
After what he did to Universe 7's trainee Destroyer…
Even if Champa lent him the Dragon Balls, Beerus would never agree.
Steal them?
Before this injury, Quitela was powerful—but even at his peak, he could never defeat Beerus.
"Damn it!!"
"Why are all the good things always hogged by that damned Beerus?!"
Quitela roared endlessly, consumed by frustration.
Cognac quietly waited.
Half an hour passed before Quitela calmed down.
"…Back to the matter of the trainee Destroyers."
Cognac checked his staff and shook his head.
"Orma seems to be dead. That means Universe 7's trainee Destroyer probably survived."
"…"
Quitela clenched his fists. He had paid such a heavy price—yet Beerus's disciple wasn't even dead?!
"We still don't know why Lord Zeno suddenly wants to hold a massive battle between trainee Destroyers. Perhaps your punishment, Lord Quitela, was because you happened to irritate him."
Cognac analyzed calmly.
"But regardless of what happened before, you still need to choose your own candidates."
"…Fine!!"
Quitela gritted his teeth hard enough to crack them.
His gaze drifted again toward the direction of Universe 7.
The Super Dragon Balls…
He would obtain them.
No matter what.
With the Destroyer God meeting underway, only a handful of angels—and Beerus and Champa—knew the real reason behind Zeno's decision.
The other gods had no idea why Zeno wanted a trainee Destroyer battle.
But Zeno's personality had always been unpredictable.
After all, he once held an all-universe Destroyer Tournament simply because he thought it was "fun."
So the gods took it in stride.
Each universe began mobilizing.
But ten years was far too short to raise a genius from childhood.
To achieve a good result in ten years, they needed to cultivate their strongest existing warriors instead.
A month passed.
Universe 9 selected two fighters possessing Divine Realm Tier 2 strength.
Universe 4 selected four fighters with Tier 3 strength.
Universe 10 selected three with Tier 3.
These three universes announced their candidates publicly—and they chose several each.
The Destroyers seemed intent on raising multiple candidates, then selecting the strongest one for the final tournament ten years later.
Another month passed.
Universe 1, Universe 12, Universe 5, and Universe 8 also finalized their candidates.
But unlike the others…
They disclosed nothing.
No one knew how strong their choices were.
Meanwhile—Universe 11 stirred as well.
Originally, Universe 11 already had one trainee Destroyer.
But recent news claimed Vermoud had recruited another.
Rumor said he even dragged the strongest warrior of his universe into the role.
And
Universe 6 had also chosen.
But while the others chose modestly… Champa went overboard.
He selected twenty candidates at once!
Two-thirds were Saiyans—one of them even an assassin.
