Chapter 252: Beerus Becomes the Target
"Stop picking fights!"
"Quitela!"
Beerus glared fiercely at the God of Destruction from the 4th Universe, Quitela, giving off the impression that he was ready to pummel him if provoked any further.
However...
Despite Beerus' piercing glare, Quitela crossed his arms nonchalantly and said, "I've already beaten you once. Why can't you just admit that I'm stronger?"
That remark only enraged Beerus further!
"Then let's arm-wrestle!"
"In a combat match, I won't lose!"
"It doesn't matter. Whether it's arm-wrestling or a combat match, I'm stronger than you!"
"Besides... everyone here has a bone to pick with you. Now..."
Quitela grinned maliciously as he spoke.
The other Gods of Destruction subtly encircled Beerus, their intentions clear.
This scene didn't escape the spectators' notice. It was so blatant that anyone failing to see it would be a fool.
"Wait... what's going on with Lord Beerus? Why are all the Gods of Destruction teaming up? Are they planning to gang up on him first?"
Kale exclaimed in shock.
Initially, he thought it would be a free-for-all, but this was clearly one against eleven!
How could anyone stand a chance in such a scenario?
"Lord Beerus facing off against so many Gods of Destruction? This is catastrophic!" Arcia couldn't help but comment.
Everyone else was equally stunned. None of them had expected Lord Beerus to become the primary target.
Whis, however, chuckled. "Hahaha... well, it's unavoidable. Lord Beerus has always had grudges with other Gods of Destruction. Now that a battle between Gods of Destruction has suddenly been arranged, naturally, he's the first to bear the brunt!"
"But..."
"There's no need to worry. Although Lord Beerus may enjoy sleeping a little too much, he won't be taken down so easily."
Despite Whis' words, the group remained skeptical.
After all, they knew Beerus to be a sleep-loving cat. While they trained tirelessly, he often slept soundly.
If he were up against ordinary opponents...
As a God of Destruction, he'd easily dominate.
But facing the Gods of Destruction from other universes was an entirely different story.
---
As they conversed, back on the arena platform...
The God of Destruction from Universe 11, Belmod, with his jester-like appearance, sneered coldly.
"Beerus, don't tell me you've forgotten!"
"Last time, during the emergency assembly, you almost caused the destruction of all universes!"
This statement caused an uproar.
The idea that their universe had once been on the brink of destruction shocked everyone.
Mu Chuan glanced at Whis, intending to ask for clarification.
Whis explained, "That was a long time ago."
He glanced at the Supreme Kai as he continued, "It happened before you became the Supreme Kai. Once, Grand Zeno held a hide-and-seek competition involving all universes."
"During that competition, Lord Beerus decided to hide and ended up falling asleep, napping for 50 years straight."
"Because Lord Beerus wouldn't come out, the competition had to be canceled. This infuriated Grand Zeno, who was looking forward to it."
"To appease Grand Zeno, the other 11 Gods of Destruction worked tirelessly to calm him down. Ever since that incident, they've harbored resentment against Lord Beerus."
"On top of that, Lord Beerus has had individual conflicts with all the other Gods of Destruction."
Hearing Whis' explanation, everyone finally understood the full extent of Beerus' past antics.
Who could have imagined a hide-and-seek competition being canceled because of one sleepy cat?
And Grand Zeno had been so eagerly anticipating it.
Naturally, his anger was justified.
Putting themselves in Grand Zeno's shoes, they realized just how infuriating Beerus could be.
The group exchanged glances. It was now clear why the other Gods of Destruction had ganged up on Beerus. Coupled with their individual grudges, this was bound to be an entertaining show...
Mu Chuan became visibly excited.
"What are Lord Beerus' limits?"
"Even with Ultra Instinct surpassing limits, it hasn't forced Lord Beerus to reveal his full power, not even close!"
"Now, with other Gods of Destruction involved, perhaps we'll get a glimpse!"
Mu Chuan focused intently, anticipating the spectacle.
Beerus had become the center of attention!
The Gods of Destruction closed in around him.
"Let's start with Beerus!"
"Fine by me!"
"Hehehehe..."
As the Gods of Destruction surrounded him, Beerus showed no fear. Instead, he struck a ready stance.
"Hmph!"
"You guys can't accomplish anything without ganging up. Come on! Let me teach you a lesson!"
At this moment, the Grand Priest suddenly announced the start of the battle.
In an instant...
All the Gods of Destruction charged at Beerus at incredible speed, not even taking a full second.
In the blink of an eye, they unleashed their attacks on Beerus.
However, Beerus remained calm and agile, effortlessly dodging every attack. No matter how the other Gods of Destruction attacked, they couldn't touch him.
And yet, Beerus appeared unbothered, almost leisurely.
This scene stunned the spectators!
Mu Chuan's pupils contracted. Imagining himself in Beerus' position, he could feel the overwhelming pressure.
If it had been him...
He wouldn't have been able to dodge, likely getting eliminated immediately.
But Beerus not only avoided all attacks effortlessly, but he also appeared unshaken.
He was incredibly strong!
"Lord Beerus is amazing! Facing so many attacks, and he's still so composed. Incredible!!"
The Seventh Universe team marveled in awe.
Even Frieza, despite his pride, couldn't help but acknowledge Lord Beerus' strength. Compared to Beerus, the other Gods of Destruction truly fell short.
At this moment, Whis commented, "Letting the body act on its own to evade all attacks — that's the essence of that technique!"
Whis' words were not random. He intended to guide the Seventh Universe participants.
Having received some training in the realm of destruction, they knew what he meant...
Still, mastering it was no easy task.
While they were deep in thought, Beerus, who had been dodging leisurely, made a mistake and left an opening.
The God of Destruction from Universe 3, Mosco, seized the chance and grabbed him on the spot.
Such a rare opportunity was quickly capitalized on by the other Gods of Destruction.
Elephant, mouse, and Champa charged forward together.
