"Alright, Father... once the Time Machine is fully charged, I'll return to the future," Trunks nodded.
Vegeta remained silent, offering no objection.
Without further delay, Goku immediately grabbed Vegeta and used Instant Transmission to appear in the Sacred World of the Kai.
Before leaving, Goku specifically asked Gohan and Trunks if they wanted to come along.
Both declined.
"Father, going to see Old Kai now... we might get a lecture. After all, the Sacred World of the Kai was trashed like that," Gohan whispered into Goku's ear.
"That is indeed a troublesome matter. Let Vegeta handle the communication," Goku grinned.
Swish!
In an instant, Goku and Vegeta appeared in the Sacred World of the Kai.
"Son Goku! You actually dared to come back!" When Old Kai saw Goku, his anger flared up, steam practically puffing from his nostrils.
Shin, the Supreme Kai, looked on speechlessly.
Look at what you've done to the Sacred World of the Kai.
You really have the nerve to come back!
At a time like this, shouldn't you find a place to hide so we don't have to look at you?
Kibito was also quietly wiping away sweat on the side.
Kibito had been away on other business earlier; when he returned and saw the state of the Sacred World of the Kai, he thought they had been ambushed.
Broly, meanwhile, had re-laid his picnic mat and was sitting there enjoying his food, having already recovered.
Seeing Goku appear, Broly even gave him a friendly greeting.
Vegeta was truly speechless.
You're actually greeting Kakarot?
Don't you know you were brutally beaten by Kakarot's son?
"Broly, hello, hello! Uh... Old Kai, Vegeta has something to talk to you about. I'm leaving first!" Goku waved his hand and immediately made his escape.
Goku didn't want to stay and be lectured by Old Kai.
After all, the previous battle had indeed left the Sacred World of the Kai in a state of ruin.
"You stand right there!" Old Kai shouted in exasperation.
Swish!
Goku ran even faster, vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Only Vegeta was left on the scene.
Old Kai glared fiercely at Vegeta, rolling his eyes in frustration.
"Old Kai, take me to see Whis," Vegeta commanded directly.
Old Kai: "..."
Who do you think you are?
Is this how you ask someone for a favor?
Are you ordering me around?
"Not going!" Old Kai pouted.
Vegeta's face darkened.
A brief silence followed.
An idea struck Vegeta, and he leaned in close to Old Kai.
Old Kai was startled and hurriedly backed away several steps, watching Vegeta warily: "What are you doing? Just because I won't take you to Whis, you want to hit me?"
Vegeta: "..."
"Hey, Broly, come over and help!" Old Kai immediately called out to Broly.
Broly was startled and looked over.
"Have you forgotten who knocked over your picnic mat?" Old Kai reminded him.
Broly immediately glared at Vegeta. Then, without hesitation, he packed up his picnic mat and bundled up his food.
Zip!
Broly rapidly fled the scene, fearing his food would be ruined again.
Vegeta: "..."
I thought we were going to have another round.
Broly vanished from sight in no time.
Old Kai: "..."
Old Kai whistled to the side, looking innocent.
This kid... why is he so useless at the critical moment?
"Vegeta, don't do anything reckless!" Shin stepped forward.
"Fine, I won't lay a hand on you!" Vegeta snorted, speaking irritably. "I really have business with Whis!"
"Hmph, tell me what it is first," Old Kai gave Vegeta a side-eye and asked crossly.
"I want Whis to train me!" Vegeta said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Old Kai scrutinized Vegeta with a meaningful look.
Vegeta clenched his fists, feeling as though his pride had been wounded.
That 'oh' and that expression are really a bit much!
I feel like you're looking down on me!
"Fine... but it requires an exchange of conditions," Old Kai snorted.
"I'll bring a beautiful woman back for you," Vegeta agreed readily.
Old Kai: "..."
This kid... he's learned to anticipate the answer.
"Deal!" Old Kai immediately stepped forward to shake Vegeta's hand.
Sweat poured from Shin's forehead.
Playing this game again!
But then again, Son Goku said he'd bring a beauty for the Ancestor.
It's been so many years, and it seems that promise was never fulfilled.
I wonder how long Vegeta will string the Ancestor along.
"You just need to help me contact Whis; I'll handle the rest," Vegeta told Old Kai.
"That's easy," Old Kai nodded, offering no objection.
Then, Old Kai immediately pulled out his crystal ball, placed both hands over it, and began chanting.
In less than 10 seconds.
Whis's face appeared in the crystal ball.
"Oh my, it's Old Kai. Is something the matter?" Whis asked with a smile, then looked toward Vegeta.
"Lord Whis, this is Vegeta. He says he has something to talk to you about," Old Kai pointed to Vegeta beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Vegeta," Whis greeted politely.
"Let's talk over there," Vegeta dropped these words and immediately walked away with the crystal ball, putting some distance between himself and the Kais.
Old Kai: "..."
Do you have any manners?
That's my crystal ball!
"What is it? Why does he have to hide it from us?" Shin was speechless.
"This guy is truly rude!" Kibito sighed.
...
In the distance.
"Mr. Vegeta, feel free to speak plainly," Whis said, his face still wearing that eternal, unchanging smile.
"I want to go and train with you," Vegeta stated his request directly. "In exchange, I will provide you with unique delicacies—delicacies that are guaranteed to satisfy you."
"It seems you know me quite well," Whis smiled. "Is it because Mr. Vegeta is a reincarnator?"
Vegeta: "..."
As expected of Whis; he figured it out that easily?
"Yes!" Vegeta didn't deny it.
"I'm terribly sorry, but I don't wish to take on anyone for training lately," Whis shook his head gently, offering a polite refusal.
Vegeta was instantly stunned.
Wait... is this the Whis I know?
Aren't you unable to move once you see delicious food?
"The food I provide is absolutely unique. You can come to Earth and try it. If it's not good, I won't force you," Vegeta said, getting a bit anxious.
The script isn't supposed to go like this!
Why don't you want to train me?
"I can taste the food, but lately, I've been training someone else, so I don't plan on taking anyone new," Whis refused with a smile.
"Training someone else? Is it that guy Kakarot?" Vegeta's face darkened, a spark of nameless anger rising in his heart.
How did Kakarot beat me to it again?
Doesn't Kakarot not know Whis?
"Kakarot? You mean Mr. Son Goku?" Whis was startled and asked.
"Exactly. His Saiyan name is Kakarot, and his Earth name is Son Goku," Vegeta nodded.
"It's not him," Whis shook his head.
"If it's not him, then training with the person you mentioned might even yield twice the result with half the effort," Vegeta's face immediately lit up with joy.
As long as it's not Kakarot.
But what Vegeta couldn't understand was... Whis was actually training someone else.
Did he train other mortals during this period?
"The person I'm training has a different training method than yours; it's unlikely to yield twice the result with half the effort," Whis smiled.
"A different training method?" Vegeta was startled.
"You want to become stronger, right?" Whis asked with a smile.
"Yes," Vegeta admitted with a nod.
"The person I'm training was born strong. What he needs to train now is his state of mind, which is different from you," Whis replied. "So, please forgive me for being unable to help... However, if you provide me with the delicacies, once I've finished training this person, I can consider training you."
Vegeta: "..."
"Is this person you're talking about born strong? You mean he's already far surpassed the current me?" Vegeta asked, feeling quite indignant.
"Indeed," Whis smiled and nodded seriously.
Vegeta's temper flared up instantly.
It's one thing that I can't beat Broly.
I'm not even a match for Son Gohan.
I can't even beat Kakarot.
Now Whis says there's someone born strong who has already surpassed the current me.
How can I stand for this?
"Incidentally, it's worth mentioning that the person I'm training has never trained in combat techniques with me. The strength he possesses is innate," Whis said with a smile, his expression calm.
Vegeta could stand it even less now.
How can such a powerful figure exist?
How did I not know there was such a person in the Seventh Universe?
"I want to try and compete with him!" Vegeta said with a serious face.
"Well then, your home is at the Capsule Corp Headquarters on Earth, right?" Whis asked. "In 20 minutes, I'll go to your house to find you! Remember to prepare the delicacies for me. If they're not good, even after I've finished training this person, I won't take you on for training!"
"Understood," Vegeta nodded.
The call ended there.
Vegeta returned the crystal ball to Old Kai and then ordered Shin to send him home.
Sweat poured from Shin's forehead.
Have you turned me, a dignified Supreme Kai, into a taxi?
After returning from the Sacred World of the Kai, Vegeta immediately had Bulma prepare a lavish feast.
Bulma, of course, didn't object. She ordered the chefs to create top-tier delicacies, waiting for Vegeta's so-called "distinguished guest."
Bulma wanted to see exactly what kind of "beauty" Vegeta was so obsessed with.
...
20 minutes later.
A beam of light as brilliant as the stars descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard of Capsule Corp Headquarters near Vegeta.
It was Whis.
Vegeta immediately locked his gaze onto the person beside Whis.
This person wore a tight-fitting suit with an energy gun hanging at his waist. He had lavender skin, silver-white hair, and a straight-fringe hairstyle.
This hairstyle reminded Vegeta of Son Gohan from his previous life.
When Gohan was on Namek, his hairstyle had some similarities to this.
Who is this?
Vegeta didn't recognize him at all.
"Hello, Mr. Vegeta," Whis greeted politely with a bow.
The person beside him also bowed to Vegeta and Bulma along with Whis.
Bulma scrutinized Whis.
Is this the old flame Vegeta's been muttering about?
Why does he look like a man?
"Are you a man or a woman?" Bulma asked hurriedly.
Whis: "..."
"A man..." Vegeta immediately answered for Whis.
Why are you concerned about whether he's a man or a woman?
"Oh my... Miss Bulma is quite humorous," Whis chuckled, covering his mouth. He then pointed to the young man beside him and introduced, "His name is Merus, and he is a Galactic Patrolman."
"Galactic Patrolman?" Vegeta was startled. He had heard of the Galactic Patrol organization.
No wonder his outfit looked a bit familiar.
So he was a Galactic Patrolman.
Vegeta still remembered that when Golden Frieza was resurrected and came to Earth, the Galactic Patrolman Jaco had specifically come to tell Bulma.
Since then, Jaco would often drop by Bulma's house.
Vegeta didn't have much to say to Jaco, but they knew each other.
What Vegeta couldn't understand now was why Whis was training this Galactic Patrolman named Merus.
"Hello, Mr. Vegeta. I am Merus," Merus greeted friendly.
"Whis says you're very strong?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow, looking at Merus.
"I'm... alright, I guess," Merus said, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Let's have a match!" Vegeta's interest was instantly piqued.
I love opponents who are stronger than me!
I want to see exactly how strong you are!
"Oh my, Mr. Vegeta, let's taste the delicacies first. We can fight after we've eaten our fill," Whis suggested.
"Fine," Vegeta nodded, offering no objection.
Then, Bulma ordered the chefs to bring out all kinds of delicacies.
Seeing that both Whis and Merus were men, Bulma's heart finally settled.
I thought it was Vegeta's first love.
It seems I overthought it.
But then again, with a Saiyan's personality, besides wanting to get stronger, they didn't seem to care much about matters between men and women.
After tasting the delicacies provided by Bulma, Whis and Merus's eyes immediately lit up, feeling the pleasure brought to their taste buds.
"Oh my... I never expected there to be such delicious food on Earth!" Whis kept remarking as he ate, his eyebrows practically dancing.
These things are too delicious!
I thought it was just ordinary food!
It turns out I've discovered a new continent!
No wonder Vegeta was so certain I would take him for training.
After eating for a while.
"So, you trained with me in your previous life too, right?" Whis asked Vegeta with a smile.
"Yes," Vegeta nodded, telling the truth. "Under your guidance, I successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue!"
"Transform and let me see," Whis said with a smile.
Vegeta didn't hesitate and directly activated the Super Saiyan God transformation.
"This is Super Saiyan God," Vegeta said calmly. After saying this, a blue flame erupted from his body. "This is a Super Saiyan transformation based on the foundation of Super Saiyan God, also called Super Saiyan Blue."
"Oh my... Super Saiyan Blue? That name is quite casual!" Whis giggled.
"You're the one who came up with the name..." Vegeta replied.
Whis: "..."
Whis looked instantly embarrassed.
After all that, the one I was mocking was myself.
"Is this your strongest transformation?" Whis asked, looking at Vegeta.
"The transformation is the strongest, but there's an enhancement on top of it," Vegeta said, taking a deep breath and pulling the Super Saiyan Blue energy into his body. He explained, "It's this—Perfected Super Saiyan Blue."
"This is to prevent the blue energy from leaking out, allowing the full power of the blue energy to be unleashed," Whis mused. "Don't tell me I came up with this Perfected Super Saiyan Blue too?"
"I don't know," Vegeta shook his head, then a thought struck him.
Since this Whis said so, it meant that Perfected Super Saiyan Blue was likely his idea.
In other words, the Kakarot from my world learned this move from Whis?
That guy Whis, he had such a good move and didn't teach it to me, but taught it to Kakarot instead.
How shameless!
"Merus, do you want to spar with Mr. Vegeta?" Whis smiled and turned to look at Merus, who was eating.
Merus: "..."
A brief silence.
"Is that... appropriate?" Merus wiped away sweat quietly.
"It's fine, it's just a spar; nothing will happen," Whis said with a smile. "And for you, sparring with such a strong opponent is also a form of training. It will be a great help to your mental growth."
"Alright, I understand," Merus nodded, stood up, patted his hands, and came to face Vegeta.
"Come on! Galactic Patrolman!" Vegeta looked at Merus provocatively.
Merus's lip twitched.
You're quite confident.
Merus didn't intend to be polite either and immediately took a fighting stance.
"Galactic Patrolman, you can attack now!" Vegeta pointed to his nose with his thumb. "No matter what method you use, go ahead and attack me!"
"Well then, I won't be polite!" Merus smiled slightly and immediately charged forward.
Vegeta took a deep breath, using the Ultra Instinct ability Whis had taught him, trying to dodge Merus's punches and kicks.
Bang!
However, Vegeta was too naive. He was soon hit in the nose by a punch from Merus.
Instantly, blood spurted from Vegeta's nostrils, and he looked horrified.
I actually didn't dodge it!
And I was even made to bleed by this guy?
How is that possible?
Vegeta was instantly enraged and charged forward to launch a fierce attack on Merus.
Merus, however, used his agile movements to dodge all of Vegeta's strikes.
Vegeta fought for a long time but couldn't even touch Merus's clothes.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Vegeta panted heavily, looking at Merus across from him in bewilderment, his expression changing repeatedly.
Are you kidding me?
I actually can't hit him!
"This... this... are you using Ultra Instinct?" Vegeta suddenly realized, staring at Merus in shock.
"Yes," Merus nodded gently, not denying it.
Vegeta immediately shot a glance at Whis.
And you said you didn't teach him combat techniques!
This guy has almost mastered Ultra Instinct.
You call that not teaching?
Whis just gave a mysterious smile, with no intention of explaining.
I really didn't teach Merus Ultra Instinct.
Because Merus is my younger brother and also an Angel.
Angels are born with the ability of Ultra Instinct.
I really wasn't lying.
"Do you want to continue, Mr. Vegeta?" Merus asked with a gentle smile.
"Again!" Vegeta gritted his teeth, feeling increasingly unwilling. "I don't believe I can't hit you!"
With that, Vegeta charged forward again, launching a fierce attack on Merus.
Merus continued to use Ultra Instinct to lightly dodge all of Vegeta's strikes.
Vegeta felt waves of shock.
Such a powerful figure exists in the Seventh Universe?
How did I not know?
Since such a powerful guy exists, why wasn't he used in the match against the Sixth Universe?
Vegeta truly couldn't understand.
"Well then, it's my turn to attack!" Merus smiled slightly, appeared behind Vegeta in a flash, and landed a palm strike on his back.
"puff..."
Vegeta spat out a mouthful of acid and collapsed to the ground.
"Smack!"
Vegeta's blue hair disappeared in an instant, returning to normal.
"I apologize for any offense I may have caused." Mels stepped forward and extended his hand in a friendly manner.
Vegeta snorted, but showed no intention of taking Merus's hand. He got up from the ground on his own, his face growing increasingly grim.
I can't even beat a single Galactic Patrolman.
"Mr. Vegeta, don't be discouraged. Merus is indeed very strong," Whis said, offering some words of comfort.
"This guy... who's stronger, him or Lord Beerus?" Vegeta asked through gritted teeth.
"Comparatively speaking, Lord Berus should be slightly stronger." Whis smiled, but didn't elaborate.
Currently, Merus is only using human strength.
If he were to use the power of an angel, even Beerus might not be his match.
"Just slightly stronger?" Vegeta's eyes widened; he was truly amazed.
To Vegeta's utter surprise, there was such a powerful figure in Universe 7.
And it's hidden among the Galactic Patrol.
This unassuming galactic patrolman is ridiculously powerful.
"We've almost finished eating. Can we pack the rest to go?" Whis asked with a smile.
Vegeta nodded silently.
"Well then, we should take our leave." Whis bowed to Vegeta.
"When are you planning to take me to train?" Vegeta asked unwillingly.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until Lord Beerus wakes up... before I'll have enough time to train you," Whis said thoughtfully.
Vegeta: "..."
After all this fuss, we're going to have to wait until Lord Beerus wakes up again?
What's the point of me contacting you now?
I thought I could start cultivating with you right now.
"But speaking of which," Whis added before leaving, "would Mr. Vegeta like to learn Ultra Instinct from me?"
"Yes." Vegeta nodded.
"In my opinion, Mr. Vegeta is not really suited to learning Ultra Instinct," Whis kindly advised.
"What...what did you say?" Vegeta was stunned.
Whis in my previous life never said the same thing to me.
