"Thank you, Lord Beerus."
"No need to thank me. Why don't you give me some delicious food instead? I heard from Whis that you brought back quite a lot of food from the past timeline."
"Huh?"
"What? Is there a problem?!"
"No problem, it's just…"
Trunks hesitated.
Bulma's eyes immediately lit up. She could more or less guess what her son was planning.
Beerus frowned. "What is it?"
"Lord Beerus…"
"Spit it out!"
"If I provide you and Mr. Whis with all kinds of delicious food in the future, would you be willing to give me some guidance in my training?"
This was Trunks's plan.
According to what Bulma from the other timeline had told him, food was one of Beerus and Whis's greatest weaknesses. If he played this card well, perhaps he could eventually stay in the God of Destruction's Realm and train under them.
Little did he know that Gran had used the exact same trick when he first arrived at the God of Destruction's Realm.
"…"
The corner of Beerus's mouth twitched.
"Who taught you this trick? Don't tell me that Gran fellow taught you this too?"
"N-No…!"
"Hmph. Just look at that guilty expression on your face. You don't even have to say anything. I already know that brat Gran taught you."
Beerus had no idea what Trunks was actually thinking. But the moment he became suspicious, Gran was immediately the first person he suspected.
After all, only his own "disciple" could possibly understand him this well!
Beerus became increasingly interested in Gran.
"He's so young, yet he can wield all kinds of powers. On top of that, he knows so much about Whis and me. I absolutely have to meet this fellow at least once. Whis, speed up!"
"Of course!"
Whis increased his speed once again.
Before long, they arrived at the Supreme Kai's Realm.
The moment they landed, their arrival immediately attracted the attention of Shin and Kibito.
"Who are you?"
Shin stepped forward, intending to question Beerus and the others about their identities.
Beerus simply glanced at the two of them.
The next instant, Shin and Kibito collapsed unconscious.
"Lord Beerus, don't you think treating the Supreme Kai like that is a little inappropriate?"
"I've already had that old geezer sealed away for so many years. What's so inappropriate about this?"
"…"
Whis rolled his eyes.
Hearing their conversation, Trunks's eyes widened.
So this was the Supreme Kai that his "Aunt Bulma" had told him about.
But…
Why did this Supreme Kai seem so weak?
What Trunks didn't know was that the Supreme Kai's authority lay in creation. His combat power was naturally quite weak.
"Let's go. I think the sword is over there."
Beerus pointed in a certain direction before flying off.
Everyone quickly followed.
Before long, they arrived in front of a lake.
In the center of the lake stood a massive stone pillar, with a sword embedded in its top.
Beerus didn't bother with any unnecessary movements.
He simply raised one finger.
A tiny bead of Destruction Energy, no larger than a grain of rice, instantly shot from his fingertip.
Boom!!
There was no flashy explosion.
The only thing that remained was a dazzling radiance as the stone pillar and the sword transformed into countless specks of starlight and vanished.
Trunks was once again stunned by Beerus's power.
The God of Destruction's control over his strength was truly flawless!
"Old geezer, aren't you going to show yourself?"
Beerus stood with his hands behind his back and spoke coldly.
"Greetings, Lord Beerus!"
A voice suddenly came from behind them.
Trunks hurriedly turned around.
The moment he saw the Old Supreme Kai, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Mr. Whis, who… who is this?"
"This is an even more ancient Supreme Kai…"
Whis explained the Old Supreme Kai's identity to Trunks.
Beerus paid no attention to the two of them.
Instead, he walked directly up to the Old Supreme Kai and got straight to the point.
"Summon Chronoa."
"…"
The Old Supreme Kai hesitated.
It seemed he wanted to ask Beerus why he wanted to summon her.
"What? Do you want to remain sealed away?"
"Of course, Lord Beerus."
The Old Supreme Kai of this timeline wasn't nearly as stubborn as the Old Supreme Kai from Gran's timeline.
He had no choice but to take out a Time Ring and begin contacting Chronoa.
Before long, a temporal rift appeared in the sky above the Supreme Kai's Realm.
A small girl emerged from within.
Chronoa landed on the ground.
She gave Trunks a meaningful glance before turning toward the Old Supreme Kai.
"Why did you call me?"
The Old Supreme Kai looked toward Beerus.
Beerus didn't waste any time.
"You know that Gran fellow, right? I want to meet him."
"…"
Chronoa immediately rolled her eyes.
The moment Beerus said this, she instantly understood what had happened.
That criminal who had manipulated time—Trunks—must have told Beerus about Gran, which had sparked the God of Destruction's curiosity.
It wasn't surprising.
Gran was mysterious to begin with.
Forget this version of Beerus—Chronoa herself was extremely curious about him.
"You two are from different timelines. And he's not even your disciple. Why do you want to meet him?"
"That's none of your business!"
Beerus naturally understood that different timelines were supposed to have no connection with one another.
But that Gran fellow was simply too mysterious.
Beerus genuinely wanted to meet him.
"No. If Gran comes here, that would also count as manipulating time. I'm not going to let him do that."
Chronoa shook her little head.
"You're worried about manipulating time? There's already a criminal who manipulated time standing right in front of you. Why haven't you arrested him?"
Beerus glanced at Trunks.
Trunks's entire body trembled.
Lord Beerus, you're vicious!
Bulma also glared angrily at Beerus.
This God of Destruction is definitely not a good person!
"…"
Chronoa fell silent.
Arrest Trunks?
If she actually laid a hand on this little guy, Gran would definitely come looking for her.
After all, Gran had already changed another future timeline once before.
"So? Nothing to say now?"
Beerus smiled smugly.
He had known it!
Trunks and that Gran fellow definitely had a very close relationship.
Meanwhile, the Old Supreme Kai stood to the side in confusion.
He had only just been released from his seal, so he had absolutely no idea what these people were talking about.
"Chronoa, I want to meet him too."
Whis suddenly spoke up.
"…"
What else could Chronoa say?
Even an Angel like Whis had become curious about Gran.
If she refused to contact Gran now, she might not even be able to escape from this timeline afterward.
"Fine. I'll contact him this once. If he doesn't come, then I'm washing my hands of the matter."
Chronoa could only compromise.
"As long as you contact him, that's enough. Whether he comes or not is no longer your problem."
"Fine."
And so, Chronoa summoned a Time Scroll.
She began using the Time Scroll to establish contact with the Time Ring in Gran's possession.
As they waited for Gran's response, Beerus, Whis, Trunks, and Bulma all held their breath.
Soon, a voice came from the other side.
"Chronoa, why are you looking for me?"
The voice was deep and magnetic.
Beerus and the others couldn't help but twitch their ears as they listened.
Judging solely by his voice, Gran sounded like an incredibly powerful individual!
Fortunately, Chronoa had no idea what Beerus was thinking.
Otherwise, she would definitely have rolled her eyes at him again.
Trying to judge someone's strength just from their voice…
There really was no one quite like Beerus.
"What do you mean, why?"
Chronoa continued speaking through the connection.
"You let Trunks off the hook. Now Trunks has told the Beerus of this timeline about your identity and background. This timeline's Beerus says he wants to meet you!"
