Episode 294: YOU DARE, YOU ACTUALLY DARE!! WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE!
『 Beerus levitated in the air, yawning with utter boredom.
Seeing all their companions below defeated, Goten and Trunks decided not to run anymore.
The two performed a synchronized set of movements. In an instant, a flash of light burst forth, and the powerful Gotenks made his grand entrance.
Though Gotenks wasn't very tall, this kid's strength was absolutely not to be underestimated!
During the previous battle with Buu, the combat power he displayed had been truly eye-opening!
After completing the fusion, the two immediately transformed into Super Saiyan 2, their bodies erupting with an even more intense battle aura!
Mai had originally wanted to drag Trunks away and escape, but when she saw Trunks's power, she realized how naive and ridiculous her thoughts had been!
Pilaf was also dumbfounded!
His mind was in complete chaos…
What on earth were they here for again?
Oh right!…
To steal things!…
In a situation like this, trying to steal things right under the noses of these powerhouses was practically suicidal!
And then there was Bulma!
Wasn't she a friend of Son Goku—one of those monsters?
Speaking of which, why hadn't Son Goku himself shown up? If he were here, as long as he transformed into his giant Great Ape form, he might actually be able to go toe-to-toe with that cat in the sky!
Pilaf tightly gripped Mai's hand and urged, "What are you waiting for? Run!"
"Oh…" Mai responded after freezing for a moment.
Beerus looked down at Vegeta below, nodding in approval. "His fighting style is quite interesting. Unlike certain people who only know how to clash head-on, completely devoid of any artistic sense!"
Not long after he said this, a strange sound came from behind him.
It sounded like two voices speaking in unison.
Looking back, he saw Gotenks pointing at him with a provocative glare, seemingly not putting him in his eyes at all.
"Hey! You cat-man!" 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "My goodness, how is this kid so cocky?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Maybe he has the right to be cocky?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "He doesn't even know who the other guy is." ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Hehehe, cat-man, hehehe…" ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "Not bad, Lord Beerus indeed looks like a cat-man." ]
[ Doraemon (Doraemon): "…" ]

『 Gotenks continued, "You actually caused all this trouble over a piece of pudding. Just wait till I teach you a lesson, you rude jerk!"
"Huh?"
"To you Earthlings, you might have grown tired of eating it long ago!"
"But to me, I really don't even know what it tastes like. I've only heard others say how delicious it is! Pudding! Just hearing the name sounds incredibly tempting!" Beerus said irritably.
To be honest!
It wasn't that Beerus lacked manners; on the contrary, he was very particular about etiquette!
Up until now, he hadn't even fought seriously. Even when dealing with Vegeta, it was like he was just playing around!
"Cut the crap! Watch me, the great Gotenks, send you flying!"
Each generation was cockier than the last!
These two brats, Goten and Trunks, didn't even look at how badly their seniors had been thrashed, yet they still dared to talk so big!
Beerus snorted coldly and curled his finger at Gotenks.
Vegeta struggled to stand up, shouting with all his might, "Stop! You're no match for him!"
But it was already too late!
Gotenks had already charged forward.
The intense battle everyone imagined did not happen; Beerus gained the upper hand in an instant.
Although Gotenks wasn't in any life-threatening danger, his current state was simply too pathetic!
Gotenks wailed in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I won't do it again!"
"It hurts so much! Help!"
Under Beerus's hand, Gotenks was literally crying a river of tears and snot!
His wailing state was no different from that of an ordinary toddler. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "As expected, he really is just a kid." ]

[ Jean (Genshin Impact): "??" ]

Goten couldn't help but shiver all over as he watched that scene!
Trunks looked defiant, gritting his teeth as he complained,
"So unlucky! Even my dad has never disciplined me like that!"
Bulma said coldly from the side,
"Who told you to be so arrogant? Getting beaten is entirely your own fault!"
"Wah, are you really my birth mother?!"
—
『 Upon seeing this scene.
Both inside and outside the screen, Vegeta let out a massive sigh of relief!
Fortunately, Lord Beerus didn't show any real cruelty; otherwise, they would have been wiped out long ago!
Seeing that no one else was attacking him, Beerus let out a bored yawn!
So this was Earth's fighting power?
While not particularly weak, it wasn't very strong either!
Tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away!
How boring!
He slowly descended, walking up to Vegeta, who was standing shakily.
Vegeta sighed in his heart. Although he knew Beerus was powerful, he never expected the gap between them to be this vast!
He looked at the slowly descending Beerus and murmured, "Is it finally over?"
Beerus landed in front of Vegeta and said softly, "Since I didn't get to eat pudding, and the Saiyan God wasn't found either, I have no choice but to destroy it!"
Though he said this, he didn't make a move yet.
Vegeta snorted, "Even being killed by a God of Destruction can be considered an honor."
A perfect response!
Vegeta's EQ was actually quite decent!
This should be enough to appease Beerus's anger a bit!
Since he spared the others, it was even less likely he would actually kill Vegeta, right?
"Oh!"
"I like the sound of that!"
Despite saying this, Beerus extended a hand, seemingly about to deliver a fatal blow to Vegeta!
Was even this not enough?
Was Beerus not satisfied?
Sensing the immense energy gathering in Beerus's hand, everyone panicked. This time, he was really going to get serious with Vegeta!
Right at this moment.
Bulma looked at the injured Vegeta and the arrogant Beerus, her face filling with rage.
"Hey, that's enough!"
"I don't care who you are, but you've completely ruined my thirty-eighth birthday party!"
Thirty-eight…
She didn't look like it at all!
Everyone couldn't help but marvel. This Bulma was already very beautiful, looking like a young woman in her twenties. No one expected her to already be thirty-eight.
Meanwhile, the crowd in the distance burst into laughter upon hearing this.
They had always been guessing Bulma's actual age. They didn't expect it to be even older than anyone imagined. No wonder she always hid her age!
Although Bulma's words made perfect sense!
Was it really okay to speak so directly in front of Beerus?
Everyone couldn't help but worry!
This couple really made everyone sweat!
However, what happened next was even more shocking!
In the very next second!
Bulma walked right up to Beerus and, without any hesitation, slapped him across the face!
Slap!
A crisp slapping sound echoed on Beerus's face. 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "She actually made a move." ]
[ Shindo (???): "Forget Beerus, even we wouldn't be able to take that!" ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "How could this happen!" ]
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "While I understand Bulma's actions, I don't know how to describe it. Should I call it brave? Or suicidal? Bulma saw the battle just now. For an ordinary human like her, Beerus wanting to kill her is easier than crushing an ant!" ]
[ Rimuru Tempest (Tensura): "Bulma doesn't seem stupid. She probably just saw Vegeta get beaten up like this, got furious, and couldn't care about anything else!" ]
[ Eriri Spencer Sawamura (Saekano): "It's over, Earth is destroyed by her hands!" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Interesting, hehehehe." ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "Very brave indeed~" ]

〜Dragon Ball World〜
At Bulma's house—
Vegeta was utterly shocked!
But Goku had a carefree look, laughing as he said,
"Ah, as expected of Bulma's style, she always does things so impulsively!"
"Hahaha, I've taken quite a few of those slaps myself!"
Vegeta glared fiercely at Goku!
Laughing!
How could he still laugh at a time like this!
Earth was clearly about to be finished!
This guy Kakarot was truly too heartless!
Vegeta snorted coldly. This wasn't his original home anyway. Why worry so much? If it came down to survival, he would just take Bulma to another planet. As for Earth, he'd just leave it to Kakarot!
Of course, he only thought this in his mind. Even if he really planned to do so, Bulma would definitely not agree.
—
『 For a moment, Beerus was stunned!
This human, before him, actually dared to strike him!
It happened too suddenly, leaving him completely unprepared.
Although it didn't hurt at all, this was a flat-out trampling of his dignity…
Vegeta was too terrified to know what to do!
Just as he was about to step forward to beg for mercy, he heard another light sound.
With a casual backhand from Beerus, Bulma was slapped to the ground!
Vegeta: "…"
His pupils dilated instantly, and he gnashed his teeth!
"You actually…"
"HOW DARE YOU STRIKE MY BULMA!!"
He let out a furious roar!
A powerful aura erupted instantly, a terrifying pressure soaring straight into the sky, seemingly causing even heaven and earth to change!
Spared nothing for the one he loved!
At this moment, Vegeta stood before Beerus, the aura he radiated not weak in the slightest!
He stared savagely at Beerus and said, "To strike my beloved Bulma… whoever you are, you will pay the price!"
Under the influence of this power, the ground around him began to crack inch by inch.
The fierce pressure forced everyone around to back away!
Aside from this might, what was even more terrifying was that dense killing intent!
Vegeta was not Son Goku; he would not hesitate to slaughter!
Beerus looked at the golden aura on Vegeta, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.
He cast a glance down at Bulma, seemingly surprised that she could trigger such massive potential. Interesting!
This kind of power!
It had already surpassed Son Goku!
He should be the strongest Saiyan!
Could Vegeta be the Super Saiyan God?
Beerus marveled inwardly. At this moment, Vegeta also launched his attack, appearing in front of Beerus in an instant, but he was met with a punch from Beerus first!
He thought Vegeta would be sent flying, but he stubbornly endured the punch, turning his head with eyes filled with killing intent!
"Not bad!"
After witnessing Beerus's power, everyone was stunned to see this man who could still stand firm after taking a punch from Beerus.
Although Beerus didn't use his full strength, given his level, the force was already terrifying. Logically speaking, Vegeta shouldn't have been able to withstand it, but right now, not only did he hold his ground, but the killing intent in his eyes was truly frightening!
"Ha!" Vegeta roared, then slammed a heavy punch right into Beerus's face!
It looked like revenge for Beerus slapping Bulma earlier, even though Bulma had technically initiated it!
Then came a second punch, and a third!
He even left a scratch on Beerus's cheek.
During the process, Beerus also tried to defend, but once he blocked one strike, a new attack immediately followed, making it impossible to guard completely! At this moment, Vegeta's performance seemed to even surpass Beerus!
With every punch thrown, the onlookers grew more shocked!
Who told Vegeta to be such a wife-protecting maniac! If it weren't for Bulma being hit, he might have just given up and surrendered. 』
『 .....』
〜Dragon Ball World〜
At Bulma's house—
"My, my!"
Goku scratched his head, a smile on his face as he said nonchalantly,
"I really didn't expect you to be so powerful now. It seems I can't beat you anymore!"
A proud expression appeared on Vegeta's face.
"So you care about Bulma that much, oh my!"
Vegeta's face instantly turned red.
"Shut up!"
Vegeta shouted,
"It has nothing to do with Bulma!"
Goku chuckled. Although he didn't say anything, his playful gaze said it all!
Who would believe that? Still being stubborn!
—
『 Vegeta kicked Beerus away, and Beerus struggled in mid-air to adjust his posture.
Meanwhile, Vegeta followed closely behind, a massive amount of energy gathering in his palms!
"Hmph!"
The powerful energy was released violently, forming a sphere of light interwoven with red and purple in the sky. Inside this sphere, a surging and terrifying energy raged!
This… this was Vegeta?
This kind of power was simply too terrifying!
As the energy slowly dispersed.
Within the clouds, Beerus floated in mid-air, completely unharmed.
Although he had just experienced an intense battle, he looked as if nothing had happened to him.
A trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes as he spoke, "It seems you are not the Super Saiyan God either!"
He scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless. "Sigh, there's no such thing as a Super Saiyan God in this universe at all! I might as well destroy this planet and go back to sleep!"
Was this the so-called loneliness of the strong?
Even someone as strong as Vegeta was no match for him?
Not only that!…
His way of doing things was just like his name—a true God of Destruction. To him, destroying a planet was like a casual chore.
At this moment, some seemed to understand why he could remain so calm when facing the attacks of so many people.
It wasn't because he had a gentle personality, but because he simply didn't care.
To him, these challengers were like toddlers who had just learned to walk, completely unworthy of attention.
Getting angry at these people would only lower his status.
Of course, Buu, who had stolen his pudding, was an exception.
At this moment, Buu had been beaten into a daze. Although he had regained consciousness, he was still foolishly floating on the water's surface, playing dead.
"Whis!" He called out loudly.
At this moment, Whis was holding a plate of sushi, eating with great relish.
Whis turned to Beerus and said, "Hold on."
"So delicious! What is this? Sea urchin battleship roll? It's simply too tasty! Is there more?"
Beerus: "…"
The crowd below: "…"
Just what was this Whis's background? Not only did he dare to disobey the God of Destruction's orders, but he also dared to talk back to him, while at the same time displaying great respect.
Also… with such a slender figure, how could he eat so much!
When Vegeta saw Beerus emerge unharmed from the previous explosion, he was instantly terrified, his face turning pale as his entire body trembled!…
How was this possible!
Was the gap in strength really that vast?
He felt a deep sense of dread!
No wonder his father had been so submissive to Beerus in the past! 』
