Ren watched calmly, not commenting. He had confidence in Broly. Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, had reached incredible power at just five years old.
According to Vados, Broly’s current power level, compared to the purity of angel power, was around 20.
That’s equivalent to the power of Ultra Instinct Sign.
Defeating Toppo would be no problem with that strength.
Thankfully, Universe 11 didn’t bring Jiren.
Ren thought that Broly might still struggle against Jiren.
In the anime and manga, many said Jiren’s power surpassed that of Vermoud, the God of Destruction.
Ren found this frustrating.
Did you skim through the story without analyzing it?
Firstly, who said this?
Wasn’t it Toppo?
Did Toppo ever witness Vermoud’s true power?
He probably hadn’t.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a statement.
Toppo told Goku that Jiren’s energy surpassed Vermoud’s.
Notice he said “energy”!
If they actually fought, Vermoud could easily defeat Jiren. This was undoubted.
In the latest Dragon Ball Super manga, even with Goku achieving true Ultra Instinct, he was no match for Beerus.
As Beerus said, gods have their own way of fighting.
It’s like when Vegeta first achieved Super Saiyan Blue and internalized the energy, thinking he could challenge Beerus.
But Vegeta became a tragic figure.
Ren understood the immense power of Gods of Destruction.
Even the weakest, Mosco, possessed unimaginable strength.
Three months ago, Ren and Broly barely defeated Champa together.
Ren was aware of his limits.
If Champa had fought seriously, Ren and Broly together wouldn’t have stood a chance.
Champa held back, not daring to kill them.
Ren knew this, which is why he dared to fight Champa, to understand the true power of a God of Destruction.
After that battle, Ren told Broly that becoming the strongest God of Destruction was still a long way off.
Ren and Broly trained hard in the past three months, significantly increasing their strength.
But there was still a big gap compared to a God of Destruction.
Even against Jiren, Broly would have some difficulty.
Ren glanced at the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest hovered in the air, watching Broly and Majin Buu with an expressionless face.
Sensing Ren’s gaze, the Grand Priest looked back at him.
Ren remained calm outwardly, but inside he was anxious.
How did he know I was looking at him?
I still have a long way to go in my training.
“Three minutes left in the match,” the Grand Priest announced.
“Oh, time flies. The match is almost over,” Whis remarked.
Frieza, standing nearby, kept a stern face and remained silent.
Why are you still here watching? Other universes have left.
Whis is so nosy.
I don’t want to stay!
I, Frieza, also want to leave.
“Want to leave, Frieza?” Whis suddenly asked.
“Of course. Staying serves no purpose,” Frieza huffed. “But if you want to stay, I don’t mind.”
“Let’s wait until the match ends. It’s only three more minutes,” Whis smiled.
Frieza fell silent.
If I weren’t so stubborn, would we have already left?
On the stage, Broly and Majin Buu both turned to Hit.
Hit watched Broly warily.
The pink fatty is manageable.
But this Broly is tough.
“Traitor!” Majin Buu suddenly said.
“Maybe forgive him?” Broly scratched his head. “I find him amusing.”
“Uh…” Majin Buu looked at Broly, then burst into laughter.
Hit: “????”
What are you laughing at?
“Bird head,” Majin Buu pointed at Hit’s head, laughing harder.
Hit was more confused.
What’s the connection between my head and a bird?
“Surrender. Buu and I have a deal,” Broly said to Hit.
“Get down, get down,” Majin Buu waved. “Even if I turned you into chocolate, I wouldn’t eat you.”
Hit was more puzzled.
What are you two talking about?
I’m confused by you two.
One is five years old, and the other seems mentally similar despite his age.
After a brief silence, Hit took a deep breath.
“Alright, I’ll let you two win. I forfeit,” Hit smiled, walking to the edge of the stage. Just before jumping off, he asked, “After the match, can you explain the bird head thing?”
“Sure!” Majin Buu nodded vigorously.
“You really want to know?” Broly asked, a bit embarrassed.
Hit was stunned.
If I didn’t want to know, why would I ask?
Hit jumped off the stage without hesitation.
“Snap!”
In an instant, Hit appeared in the stands and was eliminated.
Champa didn’t blame Hit.
Champa recognized Broly’s strength from the match.
Hit couldn’t have won.
Now, only Broly and Majin Buu remain on stage.
“Hey, you’re my type. Wanna be my servant?” Majin Buu grinned at Broly.
“Ren said I have to defeat everyone I lost to,” Broly replied.
“Haven’t you learned your lesson?” Majin Buu snorted.
“This time, I won’t let you absorb me!” Broly charged at Majin Buu, green light flashing.
Majin Buu turned into a large net, trying to absorb Broly again.
Knowing he wasn’t a match for Broly, Majin Buu thought absorbing him was the best option.
“Whoosh!”
Broly quickly appeared behind Majin Buu, grabbed his head, and slammed him into the ground.
The entire stage shook.
Cracks formed where Majin Buu landed.
Merus felt a pang of sorrow.
It’s over!
As an apprentice angel, Merus could see who was stronger.
In just half a year, Broly had grown this powerful.
Merus kept lamenting.
It’s Buu’s fault for sleeping too much.
If you hadn’t slept, I could have trained you better.
Indeed, over the next minute, Broly rubbed Majin Buu’s head into the ground repeatedly.
Majin Buu was no match.
Half a year ago, Broly only slightly surpassed Majin Buu.
But now, Broly easily overpowered him.
“Clang!”
At this moment, the central pillar of the stage lowered, becoming level with the ground.
“Time’s up!” The Grand Priest announced loudly from the center of the stage.
Broly let go of Majin Buu’s head, smiling and helped reshape his head. “Are you okay? I might have hit too hard.”
Majin Buu shook his head, baring his teeth.
“Snap!”
Suddenly, Majin Buu’s hand transformed into a net, trying to cover Broly.
Broly jumped back, avoiding Majin Buu’s attack.
“The same trick won’t work on me again,” Broly chuckled.
Majin Buu released white steam, ready to attack Broly again.
“Time’s up, the match is over!” The Grand Priest announced, glancing at Merus.
Merus: “…”
Startled, Merus flew over, hitting Majin Buu on the head with his staff.
Majin Buu’s head swelled with a bump, and he stopped attacking Broly.
“I announce, Broly is appointed as the new apprentice God of Destruction of Universe 18!” The Grand Priest declared.
Broly quickly knelt in respect.
This time, he knelt on one knee, not both.
The Grand Priest: “…”
The Grand Priest remembered when Broly knelt on both knees, paying respects like to a grave.
At first, the Grand Priest thought it was honest.
But then Ren joked about it being a grave ritual.
Now seeing Broly kneel again, the Grand Priest felt the same.
“Alright, enough,” the Grand Priest waved, signaling Broly to rise.
“Ren said you’re the strongest god in the universe. I’ll never surpass you, so I should pay more respects,” Broly explained, kneeling several more times.
The Grand Priest: “…”
The Grand Priest pondered this deeply.
I don’t even know how to refute this.
Did Ren really say that?
A promising child.
The Grand Priest glanced at Merus, suddenly feeling less fond of his own son.
Comparing looks, talent, and other factors…
Why do I feel Ren is more like my son?
Too bad he’s human.
The Grand Priest sighed inwardly.
After a brief silence, he accepted Broly’s respects.
Oh well, the new God of Destruction bowing more isn’t bad, right?
“Ren,” the Grand Priest called.
Ren quickly approached, bowing.
“Broly is your protege, so I appoint you as the apprentice angel of Universe 18,” the Grand Priest proposed with a smile.
“Apprentice angel of Universe 18?” Ren was surprised.
“Is there a problem?” The Grand Priest asked.
“No problem, what do I need to do?” Ren asked.
The Grand Priest was about to respond when Ren added, “I won’t be stuck on this planet, right?”
Ren pointed to a distant white planet, looking distressed.
“Yes, you’ll train there to transform into a true angel,” the Grand Priest nodded. “That planet suits your training.”
“But there’s nothing there. Broly and I would starve,” Ren shook his head.
“Aren’t there Super Dragon Balls? You can wish for endless food,” the Grand Priest smiled, looking at the seven Super Dragon Balls in the sky. “Once you become a true angel, you won’t need food for energy and can live forever without eating.”
“Can’t the Super Dragon grant me angelhood directly?” Ren asked.
The
Grand Priest: “…”
“No, it can’t,” the Grand Priest shook his head. “While it seems the Super Dragon can grant any wish, this is relative. Like the dragon on Earth, it seems omnipotent to ordinary humans. But to powerful humans, its wishes feel limited. Similarly, the Super Dragon appears all-powerful but has limitations. For instance, it can’t make you a true angel.”
“I naively thought it was omnipotent,” Ren sighed, slightly disappointed.
“If you need food, you can wish for it or gather some from elsewhere,” the Grand Priest suggested. “If you have an apprentice Supreme Kai, they can help you with such tasks.”
“Alright, I’ll find a suitable Supreme Kai soon,” Ren nodded seriously.
“I hope you choose a human, as this universe is special,” the Grand Priest smiled. “Treat this universe uniquely for unexpected gains.”
“I understand,” Ren agreed.
“Once you become a true angel, Broly can become a true God of Destruction. For now, he’s just an apprentice,” the Grand Priest added.
“Got it,” Ren nodded.
Who should I choose as Supreme Kai?
Goku?
But young Goku isn’t easy to train.
Who else?
Ren felt conflicted.
Deep down, Ren knew Goku was the best choice.
But Goku was too young now.
It would take decades for him to mature.
The Grand Priest looked at Vados.
Vados flew over, bowing gracefully.
“Have you taught Ren Ultra Instinct?” The Grand Priest asked.
“Yes, Grand Priest, I taught Ren all about Ultra Instinct,” Vados confirmed.
“Now it’s up to you to learn, like Merus training with the Galactic Patrol. Your training ground is this planet. By refining your angel power, you can reach a new level. If your angel power reaches 40 in purity, similar to Merus, you might transform into a true angel,” the Grand Priest advised Ren.
Ren’s eyes brightened with anticipation.
He wanted to grow quickly.
I’m too young to utilize my abilities fully.
Time to settle down and train seriously.
Since the Grand Priest suggested this planet, I’ll stay.
He probably isn’t scheming against me.
If he wanted to harm me, he could do so easily.
No need for a long plot.
So Ren had no doubts.
“Whis, Vados, you may return,” the Grand Priest instructed.
They bowed, transforming into starlight, and left with Frieza and Champa.
Only the Grand Priest, Ren, Merus, Broly, and Majin Buu remained on the stage.
The Grand Priest glanced at Merus.
“Merus, come with me,” the Grand Priest said, leading Merus away and creating a barrier to prevent eavesdropping.
Merus was puzzled.
Why is the Grand Priest calling me?
I’m scared.
