In the Universe.
Beerus couldn't help but ask, "Whis, what was the outcome of the previous battle?"
"Hohoho~!"
Whis chuckled, covering her mouth with a graceful smile.
"Lord Beerus, the result isn't what matters. What's truly important is that if you don't start training, you might just get surpassed by them!"
"Snort!"
Beerus snorted coldly. "A human surpassing a god? Ridiculous!"
Whis turned and raised an eyebrow. "Lord Beerus, are you saying you don't intend to train anymore?"
"This…"
Beerus hesitated. If the other Gods of Destruction found out that he'd been outclassed by mere mortals, the shame would be unbearable. Especially his brother, Champa—he would mock him for thousands of years.
After thinking for a long moment, Beerus finally groaned.
"Fine, Whis… You can train me. Two hours a day!"
"Yes, Master Beerus!"
Whis nodded with a satisfied smile. In truth, Lord Beerus hadn't done serious training since he was appointed as a God of Destruction. Now, unexpectedly, it was humans who had pushed him into action.

Back on Earth.
Son Goku scratched his head, deep in thought, then turned to Rayden.
"Rayden, why is the attendant of a God of Destruction so powerful? Whis is clearly stronger than Beerus. If that's the case, why does he choose to be his servant?"
Everyone shared the same curiosity. Why would someone so powerful willingly serve under someone weaker?
Rayden smiled and explained, "There are twelve universes, and each one has its own God of Destruction. Accompanying each of these gods is an Angel. Whis is one of those Angels.
Their job isn't just to serve—they're also supervisors, tasked with overseeing the actions of their assigned God of Destruction and maintaining cosmic balance."
"Wait, they're the masters of Gods of Destruction?" Krillin asked, wide-eyed.
Rayden nodded. "That's right. Angels are not just followers; they are mentors and enforcers."
Everyone was stunned by this revelation. No wonder Whis was so powerful.
Son Goten raised his hand. "Uncle Rayden, does that mean Jepitel is also the master of the Supreme Kai?"
"Hahaha!"
Rayden burst out laughing. "No, Goten. Jepitel is just a follower of the Supreme Kai, not his master."
Goten grinned, satisfied with the answer.
"Alright!" Goku said with burning determination. "Twelve universes, twelve Gods of Destruction, twelve Angels… all strong opponents! I've got to train harder!"
Piccolo crossed his arms thoughtfully. "To think there are so many powerful beings outside of our Dragon God Realm…"
"Hmph!" Vegeta scoffed. "Doesn't matter. I'll surpass every single one of them."
"Rayden, come train with us at the grounds!" Goku offered excitedly.
Rayden shook his head. "You guys go ahead. I have something else to take care of."
Goku looked disappointed but didn't argue. "Alright, suit yourself!"
He and the others shot into the sky, flying toward the training grounds.
Broly turned to Rayden. "We're not going to train?"
Rayden replied, "Not yet. First, we're heading to the Dragon Realm to see if the Dragon Balls can be restored."
As he spoke, Rayden waved his hand, and a dimensional wall shimmered into existence. He, along with Broly, Cell, and Paragus, stepped through.

Future Trunks' Timeline.
When they emerged from the dimensional wall, they were greeted by buildings that resembled Earth's architecture. The familiar energy signatures of Goku and the others were also present.
Cell frowned. "Rayden, weren't we going to the Dragon God Realm? Why are we still on Earth?"
Rayden chuckled and replied, "This is Future Trunks' timeline. I want to check on how strong Trunks and his allies have become. Plus, I'd like to invite them to train in the Dragon God Realm."
With a training ground like that, perhaps even Zamasu wouldn't stand a chance in the future.
"So that's the plan," Cell nodded in understanding.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A sudden rush of wind signaled the arrival of Future Trunks, Future Vegeta, Future Goku, and Future Gohan.
"Uncle Rayden!" Trunks shouted joyfully, hugging him tightly. "I knew it was you! You haven't visited us in years!"
Rayden smiled. "Trunks, Gohan, I've been busy training in another realm. But we finally had a break."
Future Vegeta scanned the group and frowned. "Rayden, why isn't the me from your timeline here? Is he afraid to get beaten by me?"
Rayden laughed. "Vegeta, they're also off training. But since you're so confident, you must've achieved a new transformation?"
With great pride, Future Vegeta declared, "We can all transform into Super Saiyan 3 now!"
"Hahaha!"
Cell nearly doubled over with laughter.
Vegeta clenched his fists, irritated. "What's so funny, Cell? You want a beating?"
"Enough!" Paragus roared, releasing a massive wave of energy.
Future Vegeta was stunned. Even without transforming, Paragus' power dwarfed his own Super Saiyan 3 strength.
A flash of white light burst forth.
Paragus emerged in his Super Saiyan 4 form—black hair falling to his shoulders, reddish-brown fur on his chest and arms, and a long red tail swaying behind him.
"Incredible…" Future Goku and Gohan stared in awe.
Paragus turned to Vegeta. "This is Super Saiyan 4. Can you transform into it?"
Vegeta shook his head, speechless. He had thought Super Saiyan 3 was the peak. He had no idea another form existed beyond it.
Then, Paragus calmly transformed again—into Super Saiyan God, and then Super Saiyan Blue.
"You, in the other timeline, can do all of these," Paragus said with a smug grin.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta clenched his fists in frustration. He had hoped to show off and redeem himself from past defeats, but now he'd fallen behind again.
Future Trunks looked at Rayden eagerly. "Uncle Rayden, are you here to teach me those transformations?"
Rayden nodded. "In a bit, yes. But more importantly, I'm here to ask if all of you want to train somewhere new—a place with extremely powerful opponents."
"Powerful opponents?!"
Future Goku and Vegeta's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Let's go, Rayden! Take us there!"
"We're in too!" Gohan and Trunks chimed in.
Rayden smiled, raised his hand, and summoned a glowing dimensional wall.
"Follow me!"
One by one, everyone stepped through the portal.

Dragon God Realm.
They emerged into a vast, majestic realm. In front of them stood an enormous palace that stretched into the clouds.
"Rayden," Future Goku asked, "are there strong opponents here?"
Rayden nodded. "Absolutely. But first, you're still a bit too weak to face them. Let's help you transform into Super Saiyan God."
He arranged them into a ritual circle and began the transformation ceremony.
Whoosh!
A rush of wind swept across the palace grounds as Long Yi flew toward them.
"Well, if it isn't Rayden and company! Long time no see!" Long Yi greeted warmly.
"Good to see you again, Long Yi," Rayden said with a nod.
Long Yi looked curiously at the group behind him. "Wait… are these Goku and the others you brought before?"
Something felt off. Had they regressed?
Rayden grinned. "Not exactly. These are the Future versions. We're here to bring them up to speed."
