At this very moment.
Universe 7.
Earth, within the luxurious manor of the Hoi-Poi Capsule Corporation.
After Whis’s explanation, everyone had already understood exactly what had happened.
Talot, whom they had previously regarded as an outsider, was not an enemy. On the contrary, he was one of their own!!
This revelation left Goku and Vegeta completely dumbfounded. Didn’t that mean they had brought this beating upon themselves?
The two of them looked as though they had eaten sh*t.
But at the same time, they also saw hope of advancing even further.
As long as they Saiyans became powerful enough, they could defeat even a God of Destruction. Talot was a living example.
This Saiyan had already become so powerful that even Beerus could not defeat him…
That fact alone was enough for them to look up to him.
As for Beerus, he was currently sitting sullenly on a dining chair nearby. Whenever he recalled the scene of himself being driven into a desperate situation by the Saiyan Talot, the fury in his heart soared higher and higher.
Ever since assuming the position of God of Destruction, he had never suffered as badly as he had today!
Even if this brat was the successor personally chosen by his counterpart in another timeline.
If Beerus were to learn that Talot was not actually a candidate to succeed him as God of Destruction at all, he would probably truly die of rage.
Across from Beerus, Champa had already begun his plan to wipe out all the delicacies on the table.
Ever since tasting Earth’s instant noodles last time, he had been unable to stop thinking about Earth’s food. Now that he had come to Earth again, he finally had another chance to sample its delicacies.
It would have been fine if he had not started eating, but once he did, he could not stop.
These dishes were far, far more delicious than instant noodles. Compared to the food he had eaten all these years, this was true gourmet cuisine. Everything he had eaten before was nothing more than garbage from the sewers.
Compared to Champa’s exaggerated eating style, Vados appeared far more restrained.
However, Earth’s delicacies still stimulated her taste buds. Her eyes gleamed, and the speed at which she placed the food into her mouth grew faster and faster.
Just then, ripples spread through space.
A spatial tunnel opened where everyone was gathered, and Talot leisurely walked out of it.
His appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
“You brat… You’re back already?” Seeing Talot return from Zeno’s Palace, Beerus immediately became fully alert.
Champa and Vados, who had been enjoying the food on opposite sides of the table, also stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes toward Talot.
They were also curious about what the Grand Priest had said to him.
Whis, meanwhile, had already received the message sent by the Grand Priest and explained to everyone, “Everyone, the Grand Priest has just issued an order. Talot will temporarily remain in our timeline. Goku, Vegeta, you must get along well with him~!”
The moment these words were spoken, everyone present became restless.
Especially Goku and Vegeta. After being beaten by Talot, they had now discovered that not only was he one of their own, but he would also be remaining in their timeline.
“Since Whis has already explained it for me, there’s no need for me to say anything more. It has been a very, very long time since I fought so freely. There is just one thing I didn’t expect: Vegeta in this timeline is actually weaker than Kakarot.” Talot abruptly changed the subject, directing his words straight at Goku and Vegeta.
This time, it was Goku and Vegeta’s turn to be dumbfounded.
“You mean that, in your timeline, I surpassed Kakarot?!” Vegeta suppressed the agitation in his heart and hurriedly questioned Talot.
“At least in my timeline, yes. And you aren’t just a little stronger than him, either.” Talot’s renewed confirmation immediately put Vegeta in an excellent mood, leaving him practically floating with delight.
His counterpart in another timeline had already far surpassed Kakarot. That meant he could do it too!
Vegeta felt his entire body fill with boundless motivation.
All the displeasure and exhaustion from his earlier defeat vanished at that moment.
He wished he could begin training right now, then go to the future timeline and kill that impostor posing as Kakarot before coming back to deal with Kakarot himself.
“In another timeline, I’ve already been surpassed by Vegeta? That’s really surprising.” Goku was quite astonished by this, but he did not think too much about it.
On the contrary, he hoped Vegeta could surpass his current self. That would give him even greater motivation to train and become stronger.
“By the way, let me tell you something first. One of the reasons the Grand Priest asked me to remain in this timeline is because the fellow in the future timeline who stole Kakarot’s body caused a Time and Space distortion. But that guy is too weak to interest me, so I’ll leave him to you,” Talot said, taking the initiative to bring up Black.
“Hmph~! I’ll personally kill that b*stard impersonating Kakarot!” Vegeta declared without the slightest hesitation, the killing intent in his eyes nearly overflowing.
He had already heard from Future Trunks that Black had killed Bulma in the future timeline.
As a wife-protecting maniac, how could he possibly turn a blind eye to that?
“Come to think of it, he really isn’t that strong… During my fight with Black, I already roughly gauged his strength,” Goku said.
