Just like in the original story, the battle between Goku and Beerus was astonishing. They fought from Earth up into the stratosphere, then crashed back down again.
"The Saiyan race… truly is a terrifying species."
Whis's eyes were filled with amazement. Goku, with a mortal body, had stepped into the realm of gods. His future potential would not stop there—he might even surpass the gods themselves.
The potential of the Saiyan race was simply monstrous.
It was a pity that most of the Saiyans in Universe 7 had already been wiped out by Frieza. Otherwise, if someone like Zeru were to lead them, the title of "Number One Race in Universe 7" would undoubtedly belong to the Saiyans.
Not only that—even across other universes, there would likely be very few races capable of rivaling them.
Whis suddenly thought of something.
Universe 6 and Universe 7 were twin universes.
Which meant—
Universe 6 also had Saiyans.
"Perhaps… I should tell Sister Vados to take a look at the Saiyans in Universe 6. There might be some promising talents worth cultivating."
Whis's his gaze sharpened as countless ideas formed in his mind.
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had come to an end.
Though it seemed evenly matched, both fighters knew the truth—
Goku was still far weaker than Beerus.
After all, Beerus hadn't even gone all out. He had only used sixty percent of his power.
"I really enjoyed this fight."
Beerus smiled at Goku.
To him, this battle had been incredibly satisfying—one of the most enjoyable fights he'd had in a long time.
Goku grinned just as widely.
This was also the most exhilarating battle of his life. Not only had he wielded such immense power for the first time, but he had also fought an opponent of Beerus's level.
The thrill of it—
Was beyond words.
After chatting for a bit in the sky, the two returned to the yacht.
"Lord Beerus, after such an intense battle, you must be hungry. How about we pack some food and head back to the Destroyer Realm?"
Whis stepped forward with a smile.
Beerus paused, then noticed Whis's subtle expression and immediately understood—there was something he wanted to discuss privately.
"Now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry."
Beerus nodded, then glanced at Zeru and winked.
"We're guests, after all. Won't you help us pack some food?"
"Sure. I'll bring it over later."
Zeru agreed without hesitation.
"Lord Beerus… perhaps we should wait a bit."
Whis suddenly added.
"Hm?"
Both Beerus and Zeru were slightly surprised.
From Whis's tone, it seemed like something important was about to happen.
Zeru thought for a moment.
At this point in the timeline, there shouldn't be any major events—
Unless…
Golden Frieza.
Zeru's his gaze sharpened.
By all logic, Golden Frieza should appear soon.
"If I can use Golden Frieza to push my strength further… my overall power might rise to another level."
A hint of excitement appeared on his face.
One hour later.
Destroyer Realm, Universe 7.
Zeru, Beerus, and Whis sat around a stone table, all wearing serious expressions.
"Whis… the 'important matter' you mentioned…"
"Don't tell me it's just these different flavors of sushi and pudding you secretly took?"
Beerus spoke first, followed by Zeru. Both stared at the food on the table with strange expressions.
"Ah? Lord Beerus… don't you feel a little embarrassed taking food without asking?"
Whis blinked innocently, picked up a piece of sushi, and ate it happily.
"Mmm… sushi is truly delicious! I swear, I can never get enough of it!"
Beerus and Zeru exchanged glances, both speechless.
It was obvious—
Whis was even more of a foodie than Beerus.
After finishing everything on the table, Zeru immediately returned to his training.
For him, becoming Super Saiyan God had been an accident.
If he could fully master this form, it might pave the way toward Super Saiyan Blue.
Moreover—
Deepening his control over divine power would also help him progress further in the Divine Domain.
Most importantly—
Zeru had a feeling.
Beyond Super Saiyan 5…
There wouldn't be a "Super Saiyan 6."
Instead—
It would be a completely unique transformation, exclusive to him.
Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with twenty times the time flow, Zeru didn't summon the training robots. Instead, he sat down and entered a meditative state.
His Divine Domain had already reached 95%.
Only 5% remained before complete mastery.
And as his Divine Domain deepened—
The multiplier of his Exclusive Super Saiyan 5 continued to increase.
For example—
At 95%, his transformation now granted a 130,000x boost.
Previously, it had only been 100,000x.
An increase of 30% in Divine Domain had resulted in an additional 30,000x multiplier.
This made Zeru wonder—
When it reached 100%…
Would it increase by several thousand times more?
"Thinking about it now is useless…"
Zeru shook his head, about to enter full cultivation—
When suddenly—
A spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.
His eyes lit up with excitement.
"Wait… if the Divine Domain can merge with my transformation… what about Ultra Instinct?"
Ultra Instinct was also a divine state.
If it could merge with his Exclusive Super Saiyan 5—
Wouldn't that elevate his transformation to an entirely new level?
The moment this thought appeared—
Zeru felt his entire being ignite with excitement.
