West City, near Capsule Corporation.
Loren's villa, with its enormous backyard, stood quietly under the warm sunlight.
The swimming pool shimmered brilliantly.
Suddenly—
Space subtly twisted.
Two figures appeared on the villa's lawn.
God of Destruction Beerus and the Angel Whis.
Whis held his signature staff, a gentle smile on his face as always.
Beerus, on the other hand, stood with his arms crossed, frowning impatiently.
"Whis, are you sure it's here?"
"Oh ho ho ho, Lord Beerus," Whis chuckled softly.
"The Saiyan named Loren did indeed live here before."
"Then where is he?" Beerus stretched his neck and sniffed the air irritably.
Whis lightly tapped his staff against the grass.
The crystal orb at its tip lit up, projecting a lively scene.
An azure ocean.
An extremely luxurious cruise ship slowly sailing across it.
On the deck, crowds bustled about, music played, laughter echoed, and the rich aroma of food filled the air.
A grand party.
The image zoomed in on a corner of the deck.
Two comfortable beach lounge chairs sat side by side.
Loren, wearing sunglasses and beach shorts, lay back leisurely.
Beside him, Android 18 gently fed him a slice of grilled meat.
Loren opened his mouth and accepted it.
A look of pure satisfaction crossed his face.
"It seems we arrived at the perfect time," Whis said with a smile as he dismissed the image.
"There's a party happening. Most of Earth's powerful warriors are gathered on that ship."
"A party?" Beerus licked his lips as his stomach growled at an awkward moment.
"Sounds like there's plenty of good food."
"Indeed," Whis said enticingly.
"Earth's cuisine is something even I find difficult to resist."
"Hmph. Then let's go take a look."
Beerus cleared his throat, his interest clearly piqued.
"I'll also ask about that Saiyan."
Ocean Star Cruise Ship — Top Deck
"Bulma, happy birthday!" Krillin raised his glass high.
"Thank you all for coming to my party!"
Bulma smiled brightly, accepting everyone's blessings.
Goku was leading Goten and Trunks on a rampage at the buffet table.
Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, and the others gathered nearby, chatting casually.
Suddenly—
Vegeta's body stiffened.
That presence…
It's him!
God of Destruction Beerus!
A deeply buried childhood memory surged violently to the surface.
King Vegeta.
His proud father.
Kneeling before Beerus like a dog—bowing, scraping, groveling.
Beerus stepping on the King of the Saiyans' head, humiliating him without mercy.
Why was Beerus on Earth?
Was he here to destroy it?
Vegeta's body began trembling uncontrollably.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Beerus and Whis walked onto the deck.
"Ah! It's you!" Goku spotted Whis immediately and waved excitedly, meat still stuffed in his mouth.
"Oh! You even brought a cat! Hi! I'm Son Goku!"
He stepped forward, about to shake Beerus' hand.
"KAKAROT, YOU IDIOT!!!" Vegeta roared in terror.
Moving faster than his own limits allowed, he rushed forward and kicked Goku away.
Bang!
Goku crashed onto the deck in a messy heap.
"Vegeta? What are you doing?!" Goku asked, rubbing his backside in confusion.
Vegeta ignored him completely.
He straightened his already-neat battle suit—
Then, to everyone's horror—
His knees buckled.
With a heavy thud, he dropped to the ground.
Not just kneeling.
Prostrating himself.
His forehead pressed tightly against the cold deck.
"Res… respected… God of Destruction Beerus!"
The lively atmosphere froze instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
"Ve… Vegeta?" Bulma was the first to react.
Her champagne glass froze mid-air, her smile shattering into disbelief.
"What are you doing?! Get up! This is my birthday party!"
No one on the deck could process what they were seeing.
Loren remained lying calmly in his lounge chair.
He merely tilted his head slightly, glancing at Beerus through the gap in his sunglasses.
He looks a little thinner than he did in my dream.
Krillin's jaw dropped.
The glass in his hand slipped and shattered on the floor.
"W-who is that guy…? To make Vegeta act like this…"
Piccolo's brows furrowed deeply, his expression grim.
He could sense it.
An unfathomable, terrifying power inside Beerus—one that could erase everything effortlessly.
A complete dimensional gap.
Goku climbed back up, dusting himself off.
"Vegeta, what's wrong with you? This gentleman doesn't look like a bad guy."
"SHUT UP, KAKAROT! If you don't want to die, then behave yourself!"
Beerus didn't even glance at the kneeling Vegeta.
His eyes were locked onto the buffet table, his throat bobbing at the sight of the food.
Beside him, Whis casually picked up a skewer of takoyaki and ate it elegantly.
"Mmm~ The flavor is wonderful." Whis smiled blissfully.
"Lord Beerus, won't you try some?"
"Hmph." Beerus finally withdrew his gaze and looked down at Vegeta with mild interest.
"You are… King Vegeta's son?"
"Y-yes! Yes, Lord Beerus!"
Vegeta answered immediately, trembling with excitement and fear.
"It's my greatest honor that you still remember me!"
"Oh." Beerus replied with a single word.
His gaze swept across everyone present.
"I came here to ask something. Among you Saiyans… is there a legend of a Super Saiyan God?"
Super Saiyan God?
Goku and Vegeta both froze.
Vegeta desperately searched his memory.
"Lord Beerus… I… I don't think I've ever heard of that."
"Is that so?" Beerus' voice turned cold.
"Then what about white-gold hair? A state akin to an Angel—where the divine realm is cultivated to its extreme?"
Goku scratched his head, puzzled.
"White-gold hair? When we turn Super Saiyan, our hair's already gold, right? Or really long, like mine. A state of an Angel? That sounds amazing!"
Beerus frowned.
Their reactions were genuine.
Could it be…
That dream really was just a dream?
Just a hallucination from sleeping too long?
The doubt lingered silently in Beerus' golden eyes.
