"Hahahaha!"
Champa suddenly clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
Vados was amused by Vegeta's self-important expression as well.
"What's so funny?" Vegeta straightened up, looking puzzled.
"Kid, we never said we were going to make you the Sixth Universe's Candidate God of Destruction." Champa finally stopped laughing.
"...Huh?"
Vegeta was dumbfounded.
Champa exchanged a glance with Vados before explaining, "We simply didn't want to see someone with your talent go to waste. We only wanted to give you some guidance. That's all."
"..."
Vegeta felt rather awkward.
So this whole time, he had been getting ahead of himself.
But the other Gods of Destruction had clearly offered him the position of Candidate God of Destruction. Why was this fat God of Destruction different?
"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you something. The reason we aren't taking you in as a Candidate God of Destruction for the Sixth Universe is because our universe already has two Candidates."
Champa raised two fingers and grinned mischievously.
"One is Roz. He's also a Saiyan. As for the other one..."
He deliberately paused.
Vegeta held his breath.
"The other Candidate God of Destruction is actually Gran!"
"What?!"
The moment Champa said this, everyone who had been unaware of the situation was completely stunned.
"Weiss, isn't Gran the Seventh Universe's Candidate God of Destruction? How did he become the Sixth Universe's Candidate God of Destruction too?" Kusu asked with a frown.
The other gods immediately turned their attention toward Whis as well.
"Big Sis, the Omni-King never made a rule saying that the same person can't simultaneously serve as a Candidate God of Destruction for two different universes. It's completely within the rules."
Whis walked over and calmly explained.
Kusu: "..."
The other gods: "..."
Come to think of it, the Omni-King really had never made such a rule.
Didn't that mean Gran could become a Candidate God of Destruction for other universes as well?
The eyes of Rumsshi and Belmod suddenly lit up.
"You two can forget about it."
Champa immediately knew what they were thinking from their expressions. He sneered.
"Considering your relationship with Gran, do you really think he'd have any interest in becoming a Candidate God of Destruction for your universes?"
"..."
The mockery in Champa's words was obvious, but there was no denying that he was right.
Gran's strength had long since surpassed every God of Destruction.
Why would someone at his level still be interested in becoming a Candidate God of Destruction for another universe?
The light in Rumsshi and Belmod's eyes quickly faded.
Kusu and Marcarita exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.
What a shame.
"Vegeta, I already have Gran and Roz. That's the reason I'm not taking you as a Candidate God of Destruction."
Champa turned back toward Vegeta.
"I see."
"Oh, right. If you want me to train you, I have another condition."
Champa narrowed his eyes.
"For this upcoming Universal Martial Arts Tournament, I want you to represent the Sixth Universe."
"But..."
Vegeta hesitated.
Champa clicked his tongue.
He knew it. None of the people from the Seventh Universe would have any sense of belonging toward the Sixth Universe.
But that was only natural. They were native-born inhabitants of the Seventh Universe to begin with.
"You only need to represent the Sixth Universe in two Universal Martial Arts Tournaments."
Champa spoke impatiently.
The first Universal Martial Arts Tournament would be held one year from now, while the second would take place eleven years after that.
Vegeta calculated the timeline in his head.
This condition was acceptable.
He nodded.
"Fine!"
"Good. From now on, Vados and I will personally guide your training."
"Thank you, Lord Champa! Thank you, Miss Vados!"
His wish had finally come true.
Vegeta was so excited that he hurriedly bowed to Champa and Vados in gratitude.
Bulma walked over as well.
After hearing Vegeta reject the position of Candidate God of Destruction, she had finally accepted him as her brother-in-law.
"All right. Gran asked me to make sure all of you Gods are well taken care of. Come with me. There's plenty of delicious food over here..."
Before long, the group of gods followed Bulma toward the dining hall.
...
At the same time, in the First Universe.
"Lord Iwan, the mortal level indexes of the Sixth and Seventh Universes have changed dramatically recently."
"How much?"
"The Sixth Universe has risen from 3.80 to 3.90. The Seventh Universe is even more astonishing. It has jumped directly from 3.80 to 4.20!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Seventh Universe and see what happened."
"Yes, Lord Iwan!"
...
Twelfth Universe.
"Lord Geene, you should already know about the recent changes in the Sixth and Seventh Universes, right?"
"Mm. I heard they're planning to jointly hold a Universal Martial Arts Tournament. It seems the recent changes in their universes were caused by this tournament."
"Then should we copy their method?"
"Of course we should!"
"But if we copy their method, won't they object? Especially that Gran..."
"So what if he objects?"
Geene's expression turned serious.
"If we can't complete the Omni-King's punishment within ten thousand years, we'll all be erased!"
"Lord Geene, I'll follow your lead!"
"Good. But before that, we should go to the Seventh Universe and see exactly how they're organizing this tournament. Let's go."
"Yes!"
...
Similar scenes were unfolding throughout the other universes.
Before anyone realized it, the Universal Martial Arts Tournament jointly organized by the Sixth and Seventh Universes had already attracted the attention of the entire Omni-King's Universe.
The Gods of Destruction from every universe began making their way toward the Seventh Universe.
And Beerus still had no idea what was happening.
He was still fast asleep.
Meanwhile, the various gods gathered on Earth were completely immersed in delicious food. None of them realized that Earth was about to become the gathering place for the Gods of Destruction from all twelve universes.
The atmosphere on Earth grew increasingly oppressive.
The Z-Fighters, in particular, would occasionally feel an inexplicable pressure weighing down on them.
Yet they were merely mortals.
They had absolutely no idea what was happening.
As for Goku, he was training on Grand Kai's Planet, and both his power and state of mind had improved tremendously.
Frieza and Cooler were beneath a giant tree in Heaven, enduring the torment of the little angels. Their souls were becoming increasingly powerful as well.
Broly had stopped training for the time being. Instead, he was training a group of Saiyans under the Galactic Patrol.
As for Moro, he remained imprisoned in the Galactic Prison.
He had also heard about the Universal Martial Arts Tournament while inside the prison.
However, he had no interest whatsoever in the Life Fruits being offered as prizes.
After all, Moro could obtain eternal life simply by absorbing the energy of planets.
He had no need for something like a Life Fruit to achieve immortality.
