Inside the Saiyan royal palace, Bardock sat firmly upon the throne, his gaze sharp and commanding.
Paragus raised his hand and caught the Senzu Bean mid-air. Without hesitation, he tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Almost instantly, his injuries healed at a visible rate. In the blink of an eye, a white aura burst forth from his body.
Seated on the throne, Bardock sensed the change and nodded in satisfaction. After recovering from such severe injuries, Paragus's battle power had climbed to 200,000.
Paragus suppressed his aura, staring at his hands in disbelief. He gently pressed his abdomen, where pain had lingered just moments ago.
"Your Majesty," he exclaimed, "this Senzu Bean is truly miraculous!"
Bardock chuckled. "One of the gains from my recent outing. Senzu Beans—eat one, and all injuries are instantly healed. You also won't feel hunger for ten days."
If anyone else had spoken so casually about such an item, Paragus would've slapped them on the spot.
This was a strategic treasure of the Saiyan race.
As Prime Minister, Paragus understood its value better than anyone.
His eyes burned as he looked at the large sack beneath the throne. "Your Majesty… that entire sack is—?"
Bardock nodded. "That's all we have for now. It's a non-renewable resource in the short term."
"After you take them, deliver some to the Imperial Research Institute. See if they can produce replicas or substitutes. As for the rest, distribute them as you see fit."
Paragus straightened. "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll handle them carefully. This will raise the overall battle power of our Saiyans to a new level."
Bardock nodded. "Good. One more thing."
"When you deliver the beans to Dr. Mu, have him organize and store the martial arts knowledge on the central computer."
"First, extract a large portion of Earth martial arts and copy it onto nano-chips. Distribute them to all major cities and mandate inoculation for every Saiyan."
Paragus nodded instinctively, then hesitated. "Your Majesty… is it truly necessary to learn Earth's martial arts?"
According to intelligence reports, the average battle power on Earth was under five—pathetically weak.
Bardock's eyes darkened. His voice dropped.
"Paragus, that way of thinking is dangerous. Never underestimate any race."
"Earth is a low-level planet precisely because its people understand how hard-earned strength is. They've developed countless methods to control and conserve power—never wasting even a fraction."
Paragus reflected for a moment, then bowed his head. "Your Majesty… I was short-sighted."
This flaw wasn't limited to Saiyans. Nearly all naturally powerful races shared it.
Take the Frozen Demon Clan as an example.
Frieza possessed a battle power of 120 million even before training—and still created suppressed forms to restrain his own strength.
How could someone like that ever think about efficiency or conservation?
Understanding dawned on Paragus. When he looked back at Bardock, his eyes were filled with reverence.
"The King considers even this for his people… truly wise and mighty."
Bardock waved it off. "One last thing. Organize the remaining martial arts data, arrange it from low to high, and upload it to the Saiyan intranet for reference."
Saiyan Star's network was divided into two layers.
The external network was public—accessible to all races.
The intranet, however, was restricted to Saiyans only, requiring over a dozen security verifications, the final one scanning brainwaves.
This system was personally mandated by Bardock—to prevent threats like Captain Ginyu, who could swap bodies.
Paragus replied solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He lifted the sack and exited.
Three days earlier…
In the vast, boundless universe, Beerus and Whis drifted through space.
Whis floated ahead, staff in hand, while Beerus hovered cross-legged behind him, clutching a bucket of instant noodles and eating with enthusiasm.
After sipping the broth, Beerus sighed contentedly. "Delicious. Definitely worth coming out this time."
Without turning around, Whis replied teasingly, "Lord Beerus, it seems we left Bardock behind on Earth."
Beerus snorted, his expression darkening. "Ignore him. A Saiyan daring to plot against a God—reckless."
Whis smiled faintly. "You noticed?"
"Hmph. Of course I did," Beerus said irritably. "If not for this food, I'd have destroyed Saiyan Star on the spot."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Whis asked calmly, "Then where shall we go next, Lord Beerus?"
Beerus ground his teeth. "Whis, let's visit the Frozen Demon Clan."
Whis looked puzzled. "Is there something you wish to find there?"
A cold glint flashed in Beerus's eyes. "Those Ice Demons are always troublemakers. Let's stir up some trouble—for Bardock."
Whis chuckled elegantly. "Hoho… an excellent idea, Lord Beerus."
He changed course, guiding Beerus toward the nearest Frozen Demon territory.
Frieza Planet One.
Inside the royal palace—the headquarters of the Frieza Force—Frieza lounged in a floating pod, gently swirling a glass of red wine.
Suddenly, a seven-colored beam of light crashed down from the sky, shattering the ceiling and landing directly in front of him.
Beerus emerged behind Whis, his gaze icy and oppressive.
Cold sweat instantly soaked Frieza's body. His voice trembled.
"L-Lord Beerus… God of Destruction!"
Before retiring, King Cold had shown Frieza two portraits and warned him sternly—there were two beings in the universe he must never provoke.
One was Majin Buu.
The other was the God of Destruction standing before him.
Whis spoke sternly. "Ice Demon, mind your tone. Address him properly."
Frieza immediately discarded the wine glass and rushed forward, kneeling on one knee.
"Welcome, Lord Beerus, to Frieza Planet."
Beerus raised an eyebrow slightly. "You know this God?"
Suppressing his fear, Frieza replied, "My father, King Cold, spoke of you to me."
Beerus nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Then this will be simple."
"Do this God a favor."
Though phrased like a request, there was no room for refusal in his voice.
