Beerus's Planet:
The Realm of the God of Destruction.
Bang!
The door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was kicked open with a loud crash by Vegeta as he stepped out first.
"Hey, Vegeta! Could you not be so rough? It's a real pain for Mr. Popo to repair the chamber!" Son Goku complained.
Vegeta merely snorted. "Tch. It's just a door. It won't take long to fix."
As the Saiyan duo bickered, everyone else gradually walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Trunks stood by the doorway, counting heads. He kept a close eye on Majin Buu, worried that he might fall behind and go back to sleep.
Fortunately, Buu came out third to last and hadn't fallen asleep.
"Boss, Buu is still hungry," Majin Buu complained to Trunks.
After sleeping for two years, the small amount of food he had eaten earlier was nowhere near enough to fill his stomach.
"Mm, I know, Buu. I'll take you back to Earth in a bit."
Majin Buu nodded and obediently walked out.
Super Broly and Old Kai followed behind him.
At first glance, Trunks could clearly feel that Super Broly's aura had changed drastically. His former brutality was gone. The two exchanged a look and nodded at each other.
Old Kai was the last to come out. Trunks guessed that Super Broly must have received guidance from Old Kai.
After all, Trunks himself had also been instructed by Old Kai. Old Kai gave Trunks a slight nod and a meaningful smile.
Trunks naturally understood the deeper implication and returned the smile.
In the distance, Beerus urged impatiently, "Let me see! Is everyone out yet? Is anyone still inside? Assemble! Count off!"
Trunks flew over to Beerus immediately and reported, "Lord Beerus, everyone's out. Nine of the ten are gathered now—only Frieza is missing."
"I'll go get him shortly."
But just as Trunks finished reporting, Whis's staff suddenly lit up.
Whis waved his staff, and a heavenly screen immediately appeared in the sky.
The Great Priest appeared within the projection.
Beerus was so startled that he dropped to his knees at once.
"Everyone, the Tournament of Power will begin in a few hours. Due to a reminder from the God of Destruction and the Angel of Universe 11, the original plan to hold the tournament in the Void Realm has been canceled. This Tournament of Power will be held at the God of Destruction Martial Arena instead. All Universe Angels are requested to proceed there and construct the battlefield."
"Additionally, I must reiterate the rules of the Tournament of Power."
"The gods of each universe, including the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kais, are not permitted to participate in this tournament."
"Furthermore, killing techniques are strictly forbidden during the tournament."
"That concludes the official announcement regarding the Tournament of Power. I hope the contestants from each universe will try their best to ensure the survival of their respective universes."
"Also, Lord Zen'ō, the King of All, has the final say in all matters. Now then, my children, move quickly."
With that, the Great Priest ended the video transmission, and the screen vanished.
At that very moment, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.
Son Goku was especially excited for the Tournament of Power. "Only a few hours left until the match! I'm so excited! I wonder what the fighters from the other universes are like!"
"Oh, right! Lord Beerus! What's the God of Destruction Martial Arena like? As a god of destruction, you should know."
Son Goku wasn't the only one curious; everyone else was eagerly awaiting Beerus's answer.
Beerus crossed his arms and looked slightly displeased. Seeing how much everyone wanted to know, however, he began to explain.
"The God of Destruction Martial Arena is the battleground where successive Gods of Destruction from all the universes have competed. It exists independently of the twelve universes; it's a special dimension. It's even more durable than the Void Realm."
Goku and the others widened their eyes. Goku immediately shouted, "You mean it's sturdier than the Void Realm?! Then we can really go all out in battle! That's awesome!"
He cracked his knuckles, eager to jump into the fight.
However, upon hearing this, Beerus, being a God of Destruction, felt his heart tremble slightly.
From the Great Priest's earlier words, Beerus had caught a crucial detail. The proposal to hold the tournament at the God of Destruction Martial Arena had come from Universe 11.
Beerus's face grew serious as he muttered, "Damn it... who knows what kind of scheme Vermoud is plotting now."
Hearing this, Trunks's expression also turned grave.
Things were beginning to move in an uncontrollable direction.
"Lord Beerus, no matter what, the God of Destruction Martial Arena is sturdier than the Void Realm, right? In any case, we've already made thorough preparations."
"However, Lord Beerus, the Great Priest just said that Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais cannot participate. So I have a question."
"There's the Grand Supreme Kai inside Buu. Does that mean...?"
Before he could finish, Whis, who was preparing to construct the arena, answered him.
"You're right, Trunks. In theory, a universe may have multiple Supreme Kais of the East, West, North, and South, but they are all Supreme Kais."
"So, as long as one of them is a Supreme Kai, none of them can participate. Likewise, Buu probably won't be allowed to compete this time."
As soon as those words were spoken, silence fell over the group.
If Majin Buu couldn't compete, they would be one fighter short.
Majin Buu was practically Trunks' trump card.
With him present, unexpected variables could be handled much more easily.
"Then what do we do? Wouldn't we be short a fighter? There are only a few hours left before the tournament begins. What are we supposed to do?"
"Damn it! Who would've thought Buu couldn't participate?"
Super Perfect Cell muttered anxiously.
Beerus's face darkened. "Hey, Whis. What are we supposed to do?"
But, unnoticed, Whis had already left the Realm of the God of Destruction, leaving only a fading afterimage. "I must go prepare the battlefield. The rest will be arranged by Lord Beerus!"
Beerus instantly exploded in anger. "Damn it! Whis! As the angel of Universe 7, how can you be so irresponsible?"
Without a clear leader, Beerus had no choice but to hold things together. Forcing himself to stay composed, he looked at the Saiyans.
"Does your Earth have anyone else?"
Son Goku scratched his head and replied, "There are plenty of people: Let me think... Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin..."
"Are you joking, Kakarot?! You want them to participate in the Tournament of Power?!" Vegeta shouted angrily.
At that moment, Trunks interrupted their argument.
"I already have someone in mind, but I'm not sure he'll agree."
