"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.
