Broly's energy signature still couldn't be perceived.
At this moment, a thought flashed through Trunks' mind:
(Could Z Broly have been affected by the aftermath of the battle and destroyed?)
The more Trunks considered it, the more plausible it seemed. That stubborn brute was certainly capable of such a fate.
Coincidentally, Vegeta overheard Trunks' musing and began analyzing the situation with his usual seriousness.
(Trunks' theory makes sense! It's highly likely that the brute was destroyed.
However, the next second, another thought flashed through Vegeta's mind.)
However, a moment later, another possibility occurred to Vegeta.
Vegeta looked at Trunks and asked, "Trunks, do you think it's possible that this guy was also sucked into a spatial rift?"
"When Kakarot and I merged into Gogeta, we shattered space with a single punch. Could it have happened at that time?"
But as soon as he said this, Whis immediately denied it.
"When my sister and I transported you to the Void Realm, we also repaired the spatial fabric of Universe 7. So this kind of thing couldn't have happened."
Whis's words reminded Trunks of something.
When Whis had set up a barrier around Earth to protect it, he also couldn't perceive the auras of the people on Earth.
Trunks nodded, looking as if he suddenly understood.
"I know where Z Broly is."
His declaration startled everyone present.
"What? Trunks? You know? Where is he?" Son Goku asked.
Trunks replied calmly, "It's too late. We can't find him now. He's likely already been taken to Universe 6. Lord Champa left several minutes ago."
Vegeta frowned and asked, "You mean Z Broly was taken away by that fat guy just now?"
Trunks nodded to confirm.
Upon seeing the extremely serious look on Trunks's face, Beerus couldn't help but ask, "How do you know this?"
"It's very simple. There's more than one Angel in Universe 7 besides Mr. Whis. He mentioned his sister earlier, Lady Vados."
"I guess she must have placed a barrier on Z Broly, causing us to be unable to perceive his aura."
"It's exactly like when I couldn't sense anyone's Ki on Earth before. That was Mr. Whis's handiwork."
"My guess is that Lord Champa stumbled upon ZBroly while wandering through Universe 7. That reckless brute probably provoked him."
"Lord Champa likely beat him senseless and knocked him unconscious."
As Trunks explained his theory, Beerus's face darkened. He suddenly understood why Champa had fled so quickly earlier, he'd stolen his man!
"Damn it, Champa! How dare you steal someone from Universe 7?! This is outrageous!" Beerus roared while glaring at Whis.
"Whis! Let's go! To Universe 6! We're going to demand our man back!" Beerus was furious, and purple energy was already spreading around his body.
But at that moment, Trunks smiled slightly.
"Lord Beerus, that guy is prone to losing control. If Lord Champa takes him away, he might cause a disaster over there."
"Don't worry. Our Universe 7 has plenty of people; we don't lack him."
Trunks's words reassured Beerus.
At the same time, Whis gave Trunks a thumbs-up.
"Well done, you're quite clever. You've guessed nearly ninety percent of what happened."
Beerus glared at Whis. "So, you were hiding something from me after all, weren't you?"
Whis chose to ignore Beerus' question and instead turned to Trunks. "What are your plans now?"
Trunks' gaze turned sharp.
This timeline had already diverged significantly from the original.
He couldn't be certain what would happen in the upcoming Tournament of Power.
The only thing he could do was become stronger.
"Becoming stronger is the best way to prevent any disasters before they happen."
Trunks declared firmly, "We must train."
Gohan asked doubtfully, "Trunks, we have less than three days. Is that enough time?"
Trunks smiled knowingly and glanced at Whis.
"It's enough. There's still time. After all, we have Mr. Whis here."
"I hope Mr. Whis will give us all special training! Would you be willing, Mr. Whis?"
Before Whis could answer, Beerus had already agreed on his behalf. "Of course he's willing!"
The cunning Whis shot Beerus a sidelong glance and remarked, "Lord Beerus, why are you answering for me? Or perhaps you'd prefer to conduct the training yourself?"
"Tch! Whis! Do you want to see Universe 7 erased?" Beerus roared. "As the Angel of Universe 7, you should have told me when our people were being stolen!"
Whis waved his hand dismissively. "Oh dear, Lord Beerus, who could have predicted that Zen'ō (King of All) would host the Tournament of Power?"
"Besides, Lord Beerus, it was just one person. You have no idea how much Lord Champa has stolen from Universe 7 while you were sleeping over the years."
"It's all your fault for sleeping and neglecting your duties, Lord Beerus." With this retort, Whis seized control of the conversation, leaving Beerus speechless.
He continued, "And Lord Beerus, what do you mean 'our Universe 7'? If you're erased, I won't be. After Zen'ō (King of All) erases you, I'll enter standby mode until the next universe is born, where I can continue serving."
"Besides, Lord Beerus, if you're not afraid of death, why fear erasure?"
Beerus gnashed his teeth in fury, unable to find a retort.
Whis covered his mouth with a smile, watching Beerus scratch his head in frustration. "Very well, Lord Beerus," he said. "If you promise to train diligently from now on, I'll help you train them."
"However, three days is a bit short. The improvement might not meet your expectations. But if we go to Planet Beerus..."
Whis had barely finished speaking when Trunks interrupted him.
"No, not three days. Three years."
Gohan seemed to understand what Trunks meant as soon as these words came out.
"Trunks, you mean...?"
Trunks nodded to Gohan.
"Yes, Brother Gohan... the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."
"Mr. Whis, since you can transfer us to the Void Realm, you should also be able to transfer a building intact to Planet Beerus, right?"
Trunks' words instantly brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
Vegeta secretly admired his son's cleverness.
Son Goku, on the other hand, openly expressed his admiration.
"Wow, Trunks! You really thought of everything!"
Trunks gave Son Goku a polite smile, waiting for Whis's response.
As expected, Whis's answer didn't disappoint.
"This is quite simple."
Immediately, smiles spread across everyone's faces.
With this solution, their chances in the Tournament of Power had just received a massive boost.
Trunks addressed the group: "Alright, then. Dad, you and the others take Mr. Whis and Lord Beerus to Earth first."
"I have one more thing to take care of."
Vegeta asked, "What is it?"
Trunks replied, "Nothing much. Just catching up with an old acquaintance. You all know him, Frieza."
"I happened to save his life a few hours ago, so he owes me a favor. He has no reason not to participate in the Tournament of Power now."
