“Let’s have a match between Universe 9 whose average strength is lowest, and the second weakest, Universe 6.”
When the Grand Priest uttered these words, Universe 9’s God of Destruction Sidra naturally had no objections and willingly accepted.
However, Champa was suddenly shocked and yelled out, “Huh? Grand Priest-sama, isn’t that wrong? How is Universe 6 the second last? Shouldn’t it be Universe 7?”
The Grand Priest took out his scepter and glanced at it, explaining, “No, I haven’t made a mistake. Currently, the last two universes are Universe 9 and Universe 6. Universe 7 was in the second-to-last position more than fifty years ago, but in recent years, their score has increased significantly, and they are now in sixth place.”
“Sixth?”
“That Universe 7?”
“What did that guy Beerus do?”
Upon hearing the Grand Priest’s words, people from other universes were all surprised.
As everyone knows, a universe’s score is usually related to the diligence of its God of Destruction and Supreme Kai.
As long as the God of Destruction continuously eliminates planets that hinder progress, and Supreme Kai creates planets, a universe’s mortal level can quickly rise.
Universe 7’s Supreme Kai is a rookie who knows nothing, so the increase in score can only be attributed to Beerus.
But they didn’t know that it had nothing to do with Beerus at all.
By the way, not everyone was unaware; Champa knew the secret.
“Damn it, this must be because of Lin Chen and the others!”
Champa gritted his teeth, firmly believing that including this tournament, it must be all related to Lin Chen and others.
Otherwise, why did the Universe 7’s people know several months before that there would be a martial arts tournament that would affect the entire Multiverse in the future?
“Damn it! You made the mistake, why should we be the ones to suffer?”
Thinking of this, Champa said, “Grand Priest-sama, I think the people from Universe 7 should compete with Universe 9!”
“Why? Mr. Champa, you don’t have to worry. This is just the Zeno Expo for Zeno-sama’s enjoyment, and it doesn’t count as an official result,” the Grand Priest said in surprise.
“Yeah, Champa, could it be you are afraid?”
“I never expected, Champa, that you’d be so timid.”
Other Gods of Destruction also mocked him.
Veins popped on Champa’s forehead as he looked at Beerus, who seemed indifferent to the situation. He couldn’t hold back his anger.
Although the Zeno Expo is nothing important, wouldn’t participating in a match in front of everyone now expose the true strength of his universe?
Universe 6 was not strong to begin with, and if they expose their strength further, how are they supposed to compete?
So, Champa gritted his teeth and shouted, “What do you guys understand! This competition is all because of Beerus and his people. If it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be any competition. So, if there’s going to be a match, it should be his people participating!”
“Huh?”
People from other universes were stunned. According to the Grand Priest, this competition was clearly Zeno-sama’s idea. How could it be related to Universe 7?
“Didn’t you see that there are two Zeno-sama? One of them was brought by Universe 7’s people!” Champa pointed at the two Zeno and shouted.
“Mr. Champa, please refrain from shouting so loudly.”
Just as Champa was yelling, the Grand Priest suddenly spoke, showing some dissatisfaction with his behavior.
Upon hearing the Grand Priest’s cold tone, Champa immediately broke out in cold sweat. He shrank his neck, quickly covered his mouth, and stopped talking.
But at this moment, the two Zeno intervened on his behalf and resolved the situation.
“Hey hey, what did he say?”
The Grand Priest turned and said, “Zeno-sama, Universe 6’s God of Destruction, Mr. Champa wants Universe 7’s people to participate in Zeno Expo.”
“Sure, sure!”
Hearing this, this world’s Zeno nodded immediately.
“Universe 7 is good! Hey other me, let me tell you, the people from Universe 7 are really powerful!”
“Universe 7 you’re talking about is Lin Chen’s universe?” Future Zeno asked.
“Yes.” This world’s Zeno nodded.
Future Zeno immediately looked excited, “Good, good! I want to see it too!”
“Is that so?” After some contemplation, the Grand Priest said, “Then, according to Zeno-sama’s wish, let Universe 7 and Universe 9 participate in the Zeno Expo.”
“Yeah!” Champa jumped up excitedly.
Beerus, on the other hand, furrowed his brows. “This Champa! Always causing trouble for me!”
“So, let’s announce the rules of Zeno Expo. Each of Universe 7 and Universe 9 will send three participants for one-on-one matches.”
“Because this is a match for Zeno-sama’s enjoyment, there’s no need to fight for victory. So, all three matches will take place. The temporary rule is that you cannot kill your opponent; victory is declared if you knock them out of the arena or if the opponent surrenders.”
“Next, Zeno Expo will take place in 30 minutes. Please gather your participants, Universe 7 and Universe 9.”
“Yes!”
The people from Universe 7 and Universe 9 went back to prepare, but the participants from other universes stayed.
They watched as the Grand Priest effortlessly created an arena as if performing a miracle, while gathering around Universe 6’s God of Destruction, Champa.
Although they didn’t understand the reason, Champa’s reaction just now led many of them to speculate that Champa seemed to know something.
And indeed, when Champa vividly described the origin of the other Zeno, many instantly blamed Universe 7 for being the source of this competition.
Especially considering that Beerus had nearly caused the destruction of the Multiverse in the past, making them already unfriendly towards him. This incident only deepened their negative impression of Universe 7.
So, when Beerus and Whis returned with Universe 7’s participants, they were greeted with hostile gazes.
“What’s wrong with these guys?”
Beerus looked at the Gods of Destruction, who were glaring at him, feeling puzzled.
Whis chuckled and said, “Beerus-sama, it seems like we’ve become targets of everyone.”
“Hmph! Whatever, they can’t beat us anyway. Universe 7 will not lose!”
“Everyone from Universe 7, you’ve returned.”
Grand Priest walked over and, seeing the three participants Beerus brought, seemed a bit puzzled. “Huh, where’s Lin Chen?”
Among the three participants Beerus brought this time, besides Broly, who had come with them earlier, there were also Goku and Vegeta, who were the closest to Beerus.
Goku and Vegeta were here for the first time, showing a curious expression that earned them some disdain from the others.
Whis replied, “Grand Priest-sama, Lin Chen has left our world to train. We can’t reach him at the moment. However, he had mentioned that when the competition officially begins, we can have the Supreme Kai of Time help locate him.”
“Oh? It seems Mr. Lin Chen anticipated this competition?” The Grand Priest said with a faint smile.
“That’s right.” Whis nodded.
