"Lord Beerus, this is my Super Saiyan 2!"
Goku roared again, transforming into Super Saiyan 2.
"Just show me your strongest form directly."
Beerus yawned, barely even lifting his eyelids. To him, Goku was still far too weak to be worth serious attention.
"Hahaha, as expected of Lord Beerus. Even with all my strength, I can't even get a proper look from you."
"Haah!"
Goku laughed loudly, then roared once more as he transformed into Super Saiyan 3—his strongest state.
"Saiyan, your strength is decent. I'll defeat you with just one finger."
Beerus stepped forward, one hand behind his back, raising only a single finger as he looked at Goku calmly.
Hearing this, Goku grinned. "Haha, don't worry, Lord Beerus! I'll do my best to make you use a second finger!"
"I look forward to it."
Beerus smiled faintly, finding this Saiyan rather amusing.
"Haaah!"
Goku shouted and charged forward, fists clenched.
"This is bad! Goku's fighting Lord Beerus! Everyone, take cover!"
King Kai panicked and ran toward his house, peeking out nervously.
"Haah! Haah!"
Goku launched a flurry of punches at Beerus, but every strike was effortlessly dodged.
"Hey, Saiyan. Is this all you've got?"
Beerus chuckled. If this was the extent of Goku's power, the test was already over.
"No! Lord Beerus, take this—Kamehameha!"
Goku roared as he unleashed an Instant Transmission Kamehameha.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed across the area, smoke rising as a massive mushroom cloud formed where Beerus had been standing.
Soon, the smoke cleared.
Beerus stood there completely unharmed.
"You're not bad. Among mortals, you're quite impressive."
He nodded in approval. "It seems Saiyans truly are a powerful race. Their past weakness was likely due to not understanding their own potential."
"Lord Beerus… you're incredible!"
Goku was stunned. He had thought his attack might at least do some damage, but Beerus hadn't even felt it—it was like a light scratch.
"Your power is formidable among mortals, but compared to divine beings, it's still insignificant."
Beerus smiled, his praise for Goku genuine.
"Thank you, Lord Beerus!"
Goku beamed. "Then… shall we continue?"
"Of course."
Beerus nodded.
Boom!
Goku exploded with energy again and rushed forward.
This time, Goku attacked with both fists—
While Beerus defended using just one finger, effortlessly countering everything.
Bang!
After another fierce punch from Goku, Beerus sidestepped lightly and flicked Goku on the back of the head.
That single flick—
Knocked Goku out of Super Saiyan 3 and back to base form.
He collapsed instantly, completely unable to fight.
King Kai's eyes widened in shock, inhaling sharply.
He knew just how powerful Goku was in Super Saiyan 3—
And yet—
Beerus had defeated him with a casual flick.
"Truly worthy of a God of Destruction…"
King Kai thought in awe.
"Whis, let's go. I want to visit Earth again. That cup noodles Zeru brought me before… I've been craving it."
Beerus licked his lips, looking nostalgic.
He had also heard from Zeru that Earth had countless delicious foods far better than cup noodles.
It truly was a gourmet paradise.
"How did I not know about such a planet before… what a waste…"
"Of course."
Whis smiled, nodded to King Kai, then tapped his staff lightly on the ground.
Both of them vanished.
At the same time—
Zeru appeared on Earth.
"As expected… Beerus and Whis have arrived."
After sensing their presence, Zeru immediately used Instant Transmission to reach them.
"Ah, Zeru. You're finally out of training."
Whis greeted him with a smile.
"Zeru, that Saiyan you mentioned earlier is quite impressive."
Beerus added.
"You mean… Goku?"
Zeru paused, then frowned slightly. He looked at Beerus and asked cautiously, "Before coming to Earth… did you go to King Kai's planet?"
"Yes. I met that Saiyan you mentioned and had a little spar with him."
Beerus nodded.
"…!"
Zeru's expression shifted.
If he remembered correctly—
This was exactly how the Dragon Ball Super storyline began.
Could it be…
Had the Super timeline started early?
He thought carefully.
Originally, Dragon Ball Super began several years after the Majin Buu saga—
Definitely not just three years later.
Which meant—
The timeline had shifted.
The plot had started ahead of schedule.
Zeru's his gaze sharpened.
This… might not be good news.
Because once the Super storyline began—
Goku and Vegeta would start skyrocketing in power, eventually reaching Super Saiyan God Blue.
At that level, they would possess roughly seventy percent of Beerus' strength.
And him?
Even with his exclusive Super Saiyan 5 combined with fifteenfold Kaioken—
His maximum power was only 595.2 京.
How could that compare to what was coming?
"Host, Beerus coming to Earth doesn't necessarily mean the Dragon Ball Super storyline has begun."
The system suddenly spoke.
"Have you noticed? In recent years, Beerus hasn't been sleeping like in the original timeline. He's been awake most of the time."
That reminder—
Snapped Zeru out of his thoughts.
