The Supreme Kai of the Sixth Universe, Fuwa, rushed to Vados and began pleading urgently.
"Vados, please save Lord Champa!"
Inwardly, however, Supreme Kai Fuwa cursed Champa bitterly.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
(Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction share the same life force. If one dies, the other vanishes as well.)
Seeing Fuwa's desperate expression, Vados nodded helplessly. Her figure flashed, and she slowly flew toward Champa's position.
Vados had originally planned to let Champa die and then use "Time Travel" to rewind three minutes. That way, Champa would remember the lesson and perhaps learn not to defy her again.
Broly looked into Champa's terrified eyes and trembling body, his face lighting up with a bright smile.
When this fat cat tried to kill them before, did he ever think he would end up like this?
"Hahaha!"
Paragus and Cell laughed loudly, savoring their long-awaited revenge for Broly.
"Nooooo!"
Looking at the two approaching energy blasts, and realizing Beerus and Vados were too far to help, Champa let out a roar of despair.
He was about to become the first God of Destruction in history to be killed by humans!
"Champa!" Beerus roared in anguish.
Beerus recalled their childhood together—fighting over food, training side by side, eventually becoming Gods of Destruction...
Champa closed his eyes, accepting his fate. Perhaps death would be a kind of release.
At that crucial moment, a rainbow-colored stream of light descended in front of Champa.
A child-like being under a meter tall appeared. With a wave of his small hand, the energy blasts from Son Gohan and Piccolo vanished instantly.
This child had an oval face—blue in the center, purple on both sides—with small, bead-like eyes and wore a white-and-purple robe adorned with the characters "王X王". Standing on either side of him were two nearly identical guards, hands behind their backs, scanning the surroundings with cold expressions.
Rayden instantly recognized this figure—Zeno, the Omni-King, the supreme deity of all twelve universes.
He had thought Zeno wasn't interested in attending the joint martial arts tournament of the Sixth and Seventh Universes. Turns out, Zeno had been watching quietly the whole time.
...
"Who are those weirdos? Especially that guy in the middle! He dared block Rayden and the others' energy? He's going to get beat up for sure!" muttered Supreme Kai Shin from the audience.
"Shut up, you idiot!" the old Supreme Kai barked, trembling in fear.
He smacked Shin on the back of the head and hissed, "I told you to read more instead of herding cattle! That's Lord Zeno—the Omni-King! If he gets upset, he can erase the entire universe with a wave of his hand!"
Shin immediately nodded, sweat pouring down his forehead. He never imagined someone who looked like a kid's toy was the highest god in all existence.
Whis giggled, covering her mouth. "Old Supreme Kai, should we just stand here forever?"
"Whis! Hurry up and take us over there!" the old Supreme Kai urged.
Whis nodded, waved her staff, enveloped everyone in light, and flew them toward Zeno.
...
In the battlefield—
"Little brat, who told you to meddle in our business?" Cell growled.
Furious, he raised his hand to form a golden energy ball, ready to obliterate the child.
"Cell!"
Rayden flashed to Cell's side and grabbed his arm. He didn't want Cell to be erased by Zeno, even if Super Dragon Balls could revive him later.
"Rayden, why are you stopping Cell?" Vegeta asked, clearly annoyed.
Rayden sighed and explained who the child was.
"What?! The top power in all twelve universes? He can erase someone like Beerus with a wave of his hand?!"
Everyone broke into a cold sweat.
But Son Goku, as curious as ever, ran excitedly toward Zeno.
"Bang!"
Beerus suddenly appeared and kicked Goku back.
"Ouch! What was that for, Lord Beerus?!" Goku complained, rubbing his side.
Beerus grabbed Goku by the ear and hissed, "Don't ever say anything like that to Lord Zeno, you idiot!"
Just then, Whis arrived with the others.
Beerus bowed deeply before Zeno. The old and new Supreme Kais dropped to their knees.
"Welcome, Lord Zeno!" everyone said in unison.
Zeno nodded calmly.
"Long time no see, Lord Zeno!"
"Greetings, Lord Zeno!" Whis and Vados chimed.
Zeno simply nodded again.
Meanwhile, Frieza stood in the crowd, glaring. In his mind, he seethed:
"Just wait and see. One day I'll surpass you all! Beerus ignored our friendship and didn't help me when that fat cat nearly killed me!"
Zeno trotted over to Vados, tugging on her robe.
"Go and heal Champa."
Vados obeyed, appearing next to Champa and waving her staff. His injuries healed instantly, even his severed leg grew back.
Swish!
Vados brought Champa back to Zeno.
Now emboldened by Zeno's presence, Champa bowed deeply, then immediately began shouting.
"You damned humans! Why are you just standing there? Bow before Lord Zeno!"
"Fat cat, I just spared your life, and now you want to act tough again?" Broly growled, preparing to attack.
Rayden stepped forward and held Broly back.
"Later," he whispered. "Once Zeno leaves, we'll finish this."
Though Zeno remained silent, the guards on either side glared at Champa. Their message was clear: How dare you shout in front of Lord Zeno?
Feeling their murderous glares, Champa dropped to his knees with a thud, forehead pressed tightly against the ground.
Seeing his brother in danger, Beerus quickly tried to shift the conversation.
"Lord Zeno, may I ask why you've come here today?"
Zeno looked as cheerful as ever, his childish face unchanged.
"Because you're holding this tournament in secret, I wanted to remind you...
Gods of Destruction, this is your job. Don't get lazy!"
Hearing this, both Beerus and Champa broke into a cold sweat.
"Yes, sir!" they responded in unison, heads still lowered.
