"So. Why are you lots here?" Caulifla asked.
"And don't even think of doing any funny business." She followed up as her underlings aimed their weapons at Goten and the others.
"Everyone," Cabba said as he looked at Goten and others.
"Please forgive me for my insolent behaviour." He said as he looked at Goten and the others.
"But I have to take care of this problem," Cabba said as he looked at Caulifla and took his fighting pose.
"!" Goten was reminded of something when he saw Cabba's fighting pose.
That reminds me. I still have not asked whether or not all the Saiyan from the army have Vegeta's fighting style. Goten thought in his mind.
"I thought you came here in peace," Caulifla said to Cabba as she smiled.
"That does not mean that I will overlook your immoral behaviour," Cabba said.
"But you are the one who is on my turf," Caulifla replied.
"This place is supposed to be under the authority of the King," Cabba said.
"Sis. Let me take care of him." The brown-cloaked person that was beside Caulifla said to her.
"Mind your own business," Caulifla replied as she rejected her help and pushed her out of the way.
"Should we stop them?" Marron asked Goten.
Trunks decided to interfere by reaching out for his sword. Which was kept in the sheath on his back but Goten stopped him by putting his hand on Trunks's shoulder.
He slightly shakes her head as Trunks looks at him.
"Let's see how it plays out first, after all, I only wanted to see how strong she is," Goten replied.
Cabba heard Goten's words and had an uncomfortable feeling when he realized that it was something as simple as that.
Goten came to this place because he was interested in two Saiyans that have high power levels.
And now he is seeing both of them.
Caulifla and the brown cloak woman who was accompanying her.
He wanted to see what they were capable of doing.
That is Goten's only motive.
He is not planning to teach her about Super Saiyan and its different forms.
He does not want to fight her as he knows that she is not on his level.
He also does not want to ask about what is wrong with this planet, despite it having a lot of red flags that show signs of poverty, criminal activities and civil wars.
He just wanted to see how strong she is compared to someone like Cabba.
He is able to do those kinds of selfish things without having to fear repercussions because he knows that he is strong.
Cabba dashed towards Caulifla but she effortlessly threw him into a nearby building easily while using minimum movements.
She is stronger than I expected. Cabba thought as he got up.
"Do you think he can win?" Marron asked Bra.
"No. There is no way that he would have been able to beat my sister." The brown-cloaked woman replied.
"It's true that the Cabbish guy won't stand a chance against your sister. But that is only under normal circumstances." Bra said.
Caulifla tried to kick Cabba's upper torso area but her attack was blocked by Cabba.
"I don't want to admit this but I don't think I can beat you without going Super Saiyan," Cabba said.
"Super Saiyan?" Caulifla was shocked to see Cabba becoming stronger when he transformed into Super Saiyan.
She tried to attack him with a straight punch to the face but he leaned backwards and dodged her attack.
Then he knocked her out using a roundhouse kick sending her flying far away.
"Sister." The brown-cloaked woman intercepted as she saved Caulifla before she crashed into the ground.
"Tsk." Caulifla looked pissed, she didn't even thank the person that saved her.
"That power. It's called Super Saiyan, right?" She asked.
"....." Cabba didn't reply.
"Goten-san. Can we leave this place? I am sure that you are only here to see how strong she is." Cabba asked.
"Why? Aren't you going to take care of her? Didn't you say she is a criminal?" Trunks asked.
"Trunks-san. Killing is wrong." Cabba replied.
The Universe 7 hybrid Saiyans's eyes widened when they heard those words.
Cabba is supposed to be a soldier so they thought that he would not hesitate when it came to killing people who inflict pain upon others.
What the hell are you? Spiderman-type Saiyan? Goten thought in his mind.
Although Trunks also has the disposition of a hero, his mindset is different.
He is someone who believes that protecting innocence is more important than letting criminals roam free.
Goten and the others decided to respect Cabba's wish as it was not their planet and they had no real desire to kill Caulifla and others.
_____________________
At that time. Back in Universe 7.
On Beeru's planet.
"Not bad Vegeta," Goku said as he wiped the drop of blood that was on his face.
"The same can be said about you," Vegeta said as he smiled while looking at Goku.
Both of them are heavily wounded and are fighting each other with the intent to kill.
"Should we stop them? I feel like it's too early for such a dangerous battle." Whis said.
"Vegeta still seems like he was struggling to control his energy in his new form. Goku's rapid ki drain in his new form also is making me doubt whether or not they can stop the fight until one of them really gets killed." Whis continued.
"It's fine. You can just rewind time for five seconds when the worst situation occurs." Beerus said to Whis.
"And it seems like you are only saying this because your Ultra Instinct is currently losing to my Ultra Ego," Beerus said with a smirk on his face.
"Don't forget Lord Beerus Goku dominated the fight when he was able to use the full power of Ultra instinct. It's just that he still is not able to sustain its full power over a long period since he has not mastered it yet." Whis made an excuse for Goku.
"Don't give excuses Whis. Vegeta started his training with me much later than Goku." Beerus said.
"Lord Beerus you do know that Goku could have ended the fight earlier if he did not hold back," Whis said.
It was a fair point since Goku was many times stronger than Vegeta when the fights started.
He only started to lose after he became weaker because of his prolonged use of Ultra instinct and Vegeta became stronger with Ultra Ego.
The fight between Goku at the beginning of the fight and current Vegeta who becomes stronger would be much closer.
"If he ended the fight earlier Vegeta would not have been able to use his true power, it goes both ways," Beerus replied.
The two were bickering about who was stronger than their student, like children.
Then suddenly Whis staff started to emit a small green glow.
"Whis. Your staff. It seems like someone is calling you." the talking fish that was near them called Oracle Fish notified Whis.
"Huh. It's from the Grand Preist." Whis said.
"Your father?" Beerus asked.
"He said to come to Zeno Sama's place immediately," Whis said.
"He wants to talk to us about the fate of our universe." He continued.
"Vegeta. You are coming with me."
Vegeta looked at Beerus with confusion as he pointed at himself.
"Me?" Vegeta asked.
"And Goku. You are staying behind." Beerus said as he pointed at Goku.
"Huh? Why are you only taking Vegeta? Aren't you going to see Zeno-Sama?" Goku asked.
"Take me with you too," Goku said.
"Because he is my student and someone who has the highest chance of taking over my job after I retire."
"Lord Beerus. I have never agreed to take over your duties." Vegeta said but Beerus ignored him.
"I would have taken you if you were not the type to stir up trouble." Beerus continued.
"I have to agree with Lord Beerus," Whis said as he looked at Goku.
"Ehhh. Whis, Not you too." Goku seems disappointed.
"Go back to earth for a while. I will contact you after the meeting is finished." Beerus said with a serious face.
Then Beerus, Whis and Vegeta disappeared with a white light.
________________________
At Zeno's place.
All the gods of destruction, angels, Supreme Kais and two mortals that tagged along with the two gods of destruction kneeled.
In the presence of the Zeno of the Present and Zeno of the Future.
"Please Rise. Ladies and Gentlemen." Grand Preist who was standing near the two Zeno said.
"Two Zeno-sama."
"How did that happen?"
Some of the gods seemed confused when they saw the two Zeno-sama standing side by side.
But they didn't ask any questions since most of them considered Zeno to be the absolute being that they could never offend.
One wrong word and Zeno could make their universe disappear.
"!" When he raised his head Vegeta noticed that there was another mortal like him present in the palace.
That person seemed to possess energy similar to that of Lord Beerus. Just like me? Vegeta thought.
He could feel a faint Hakai Energy from the other mortal.
And it seems that the mortal noticed him too as they locked eyes for a second.
"It's been a long time everyone." Zeno of present greeted.
"And for me, it's nice to meet you too." Zeno of the future said.
"Oh! Lord Belmod. May I ask you about the Gentleman behind you?" Grand Preist asked.
"My lord. This man is Toppo." The god of destruction who looked like a clown said.
"To tell you the truth I am training him to succeed me as the next god of destruction. I just happen to bring him along for him to get experience." He explained.
"I hope my lord don't mind." He asked.
"I am Toppo. At your service." Toppo said.
"I see. Understood. And I believe you are also in a similar position. Aren't you lord Beerus?" The grand priest said as he looked at Vegeta.
Vegeta did not want to become the next god of destruction but he didn't give any input, since unlike Goku he could at least read the room.
"We brought you here because the two Zeno-sama wanted to wipe out your universe apart from Universe 1, 5, 8 and 12." Grand Preist declared.
"What?" Every god even the one from the Universe 1,5,8 and 12 that were excluded from the destruction were shocked when they heard those words.
"That sounds bad," Goku said as he appeared in the palace using an instant transmission.
"Goku." The two Zeno said in joy when they saw Goku.
"If you are going to destroy every universe apart from four how are we going to fight in the tournament?" Goku said.
"Tournament?" The God of destruction from the 12 universes asked when they heard those words.
"Ah right." One of the Zeno said.
"I forgot." The other Zeno said.
"Hey. Is there anything we can do to make the tournament happen?" one of the Zeno asked the grand priest.
"Why don't we make the tournament before we destroy the universes?" the other Zeno suggested.
"I was thinking the same thing," Zeno replied.
"Then there is a suggestion that I like to make." The grand priest said to the two Zenos.
"Why don't we spare the universe that won the tournament from erasure." He said while looking at Son Goku.
Grand Preist was grateful to Goku.
Because he brought a friend and a true equal to Zeno-sama who was always very lonely.
By bringing back Zeno from the future to the present.
Because of that, he wanted to give Goku a way out.
But he can't be too biased so he created a way out for him without directly giving him a free pass.
Now, it's up to Goku. To take the chance that he has given him.
"That Sounds exciting. So when is it?" Goku asked.
"That idiot. What the hell is he doing?" Beerus whispered in anger.
He was angry because Goku defied his order to stay behind and was acting casually in front of the two Zenos.
But everyone who is paying attention to the Grand Preist's words knows that Goku has given them a way out.
"Since each universe needs to prepare. How about Five ticks from now?" Gand Preist said.
"Five ticks?" Goku said.
"How long is that exactly?" Goku asked the Grand Preist.
"You are from Earth that exist in universe 7 right?" Grand Priest said as he looked at Goku.
"Yeah."
"Then it's about 40 hours." He replied.
"That soon?" Goku said in shock.
"My lord. We won't be able to properly prepare for the tournament with such a short time." One of the Gods said.
"But we want to see it now," One of the Zeno replied.
He showed no reaction other than just a deadpan stare which made it terrifying since he could wipe out the whole existence easily.
And no one would have been able to stop him.
"No. I am sorry my lord." the god who complained immediately apologized.
"If you need more time to gather strong fighters. Then how about we held an exhibition match before the tournament?" Goku suggested.
"I don't want to fight in a tournament where not everyone is at their 100%," Goku said.
"I see. That's a great idea." Grand Priest seemed to be pleased with Goku's suggestion.
That is how an exhibition match between the universe that is going to participate in the tournament was set up.
