In an incredibly distant space, there was an inverted pyramid world, its every corner filled with Destruction energy.
Standing by a lake was an elegant man with a tall, slender build, light blue skin, and long, curly white hair.
A divine halo floated around his neck, making him appear bright and sacred!
Next to him, a cup hovered, and inside the cup swam a fish resembling a loach.
One loach, one angel, both looked towards the distant palace.
The Oracle Fish leaned against the cup and said, exasperatedly, "He hasn't even destroyed a few planets, and Lord Beerus is already back to sleep. What a lazy bum!"
As a member of the World of the Gods of Destruction, the Oracle Fish naturally knew Beerus's strength.
Years ago, because of Zeno's hide-and-seek game, the Gods of Destruction from the 12 universes had a battle.
To call it a battle was an understatement; it was more like Beerus being ganged up on by the other 11 Gods of Destruction, yet Beerus alone defeated all of them.
The only ones who managed to leave with dignity, besides Beerus's biological brother Champa, were Quitela, that old mouse.
It was that battle that earned Beerus the title of "Strongest God of Destruction."
What a pity.
Such a powerful God of Destruction, yet due to his lazy nature, his universe ranked second to last!
This truly makes me, the Oracle Fish, too ashamed to face anyone!
"Oh ho ho~"
Whis held a long staff in his right hand and chuckled, "If Lord Beerus heard you call him a lazy bum, you'd be in big trouble."
With that laugh, his sacred angel image instantly shattered, becoming comical and amusing.
"No fear, Lord Beerus is asleep, he can't hear me."
"How do you know I won't tell him when Lord Beerus wakes up?"
"Whis, you..."
The Oracle Fish's eyes widened, and it nervously said, "You wouldn't really tell Lord Beerus, would you!"
Whis covered his mouth, chuckling, "That depends on whether you're sensible or not."
......
The Oracle Fish's face was covered in black lines.
These master and servant are truly exceptional; one loves to sleep in, and the other loves to eat delicious food!
To describe them both with unpleasant words, they are utterly gluttonous and sleepy!
And in fact, the angel before him was even more terrifying.
Beerus, as the strongest God of Destruction, couldn't even withstand a casual move from Whis.
Because all of Beerus's abilities were taught by Whis, Whis's true identity is actually Beerus's master.
As for Whis's true strength, no one knows!
"Fine, I'll give you all the delicious food I've kept for a long time, but you can't tell Lord Beerus later!"
The Oracle Fish looked pained.
Whis licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation; he was going to eat something delicious again.
Suddenly!
A weak voice came, "Wh... Whis!"
Whis is an angel of a universe, and with his realm, he naturally heard someone call his name, but he ignored it.
He and Beerus had left many legends in Universe 7, so it was normal for people to call his name.
According to his usual habits, he would automatically ignore these sounds.
However, the next second.
"Mr. Wh... Whis, I have the most delicious food in the entire universe here, would you like to try some!"
The last sentence made Whis's eyes suddenly burn with fervor!
"Whis, what's wrong?"
The Oracle Fish pulled out its long-hoarded delicacies from its extra-dimensional space, and it suddenly noticed Whis's unusual behavior.
Why did Whis look so excited?
No!
Once this guy shows that expression, he must have found something delicious!
The Oracle Fish instantly reacted; just as it was about to speak, Whis beside it instantly transformed into a rainbow stream of light and shot into the sky.
At the same time, he left a message:
"My going out and your scolding Lord Beerus are even now; neither of us will tell Lord Beerus later."
"Damn it, he ran off to eat delicious food and didn't even take me!"
The Oracle Fish grumbled at the sky.
But as soon as it finished cursing, it suddenly fell into a deep sleep, just like that, inexplicably.
If Whis hadn't left, he would have been very surprised, because this was the state the Oracle Fish entered when it began to make a prophecy.
......
On the other side.
Gran lay on the ground; two minutes had passed since his first shout, but Whis still hadn't arrived.
"Could it be... could it be that Whis really didn't hear me?"
Gran spat out another mouthful of blood.
According to the anime, it should take Whis 26 minutes at normal speed to take Beerus from the World of the Gods of Destruction to the North Kai Planet.
But ultimately, at Beerus's strong insistence, Whis only took three minutes to reach the North Kai Planet from the World of the Gods of Destruction.
Similarly!
Given Whis's craving for delicious food, he shouldn't take more than three minutes to get here now!
As time passed, another ten minutes went by, and Gran's aura grew weaker and weaker.
"D... damn it!"
"Am I... am I going to die?"
"I... I'm so unwilling, I haven't even punched Beerus, kicked Ze..."
Suddenly!
"Punch Lord Beerus? Kick who?"
A voice drilled into Gran's ears, and his pupils constricted sharply.
Is it him?
Gran lay on the ground, wanting to turn his head, but he could no longer move.
Soon, a figure walked over and entered his line of sight.
He had light blue skin, white hair, and held a staff...
It was an angel!!!
Looking at his face again, it was truly Whis!
Whis really heard me and personally descended here!!!
At this moment, Gran forgot the pain in his body, and his heart was filled with wild joy.
Whis looked down at the child on the ground, and he couldn't help but frown.
A Saiyan?
That shouldn't be right; wasn't the Saiyan race destroyed along with Planet Vegeta by Frieza? How could there still be Saiyans alive?
Could Frieza have defied Lord Beerus's orders?
Whis shook his head again.
Whether Frieza defied Lord Beerus's orders or not, it had nothing to do with him.
He was an angel; his duty was to serve and teach the God of Destruction, and he needed to remain neutral, not participating in any battles in the universe.
So even if he knew Frieza had defied Beerus's orders, Whis would not react in any way.
However!
"You just said you'd punch Lord Beerus and kick who again?"
A playful glint flashed in Whis's eyes.
Without a doubt, this little guy should have said, punch Beerus and kick Zeno.
Good heavens, how dare a minor character like him say such a thing!
......
Gran desperately wanted to ask if he could be saved first, but he truly had no strength left to speak.
"Oh dear~ I forgot you're about to die now."
Although Whis said this, he had no intention of treating Gran.
?
Gran's heart was filled with anxiety.
That shouldn't be right; Whis is here, and given his love for delicious food, why isn't he saving him?
"I don't know how you, little one, survived Frieza's hands, nor do I know where you learned that I like delicious food."
Whis, holding his staff, seemed to have guessed Gran's thoughts, and he said condescendingly:
"You lured me here, probably hoping I'd save you, but you've miscalculated."
Why would anyone think an angel would inexplicably save a stranger for some delicious food?
Angels are neutral; they only serve the God of Destruction, and they won't easily interfere with anything in the universe.
Save a strange child?
Don't be silly!
If it were someone he knew, that would be one thing, but he didn't know this child on the ground, and the other party was a Saiyan, whom Beerus disliked.
Whis did like delicious food, which was why he appeared here.
But he would never save Gran, this Saiyan, because of food.
Gran didn't know what Whis was thinking, otherwise he would definitely say, "You weren't like this in dragon ball Super!"
Bulma just said there was delicious food on Earth, and you happily ran over to help them with this and that.
Why, when I say there's delicious food, you won't even save me?
......
Hearing Whis's words, Gran's mood instantly went from excitement to despair.
He thought Whis coming would save him, who would have thought it would be like this!
Is Heaven really going to abandon me?
Gran's aura suddenly weakened to a critical point, and he slowly closed his eyes; this was the prelude to death.
Whis looked down at him; this little guy was quite clever, to be injured to such an extent and still think of a way to lure him over.
What a pity!
Angels cannot casually interfere with universal matters; he couldn't save this little guy.
Whis was about to turn and leave.
Suddenly!
A powerful aura erupted from Gran's body, accompanied by dimensional fluctuations.
Hmm, this little guy seems a bit off!
Whis looked down at Gran, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.
