...
Since everything they were saying was true, it was hard to argue against them. After all, even Beerus's twin brother, Champa, had opposed Beerus in the past.
Being the one who had targeted others before, only to come begging them for help now... that really was a little shameless.
"Hmph. Do you really have no idea why we targeted you?" Mummy Arak finally couldn't hold himself back.
The moment he said this, a flash of realization passed through the minds of the other Gods of Destruction.
That's right!
Beerus, do you really have no idea why everyone targeted you?
Heles suddenly raised her head. She glared at Beerus through gritted teeth.
"Back when Lord Zeno was playing hide-and-seek, who was it that ran back to the Seventh Universe to sleep?"
Giin, the Sea Monster, still looked shaken by the memory.
"Back then, it was all because of you, Beerus, that we nearly got erased by Lord Zeno. Don't you think we had every right to target you?"
Except for Belmod, the God of Destruction of the Fourth Universe, the other Gods of Destruction all stepped forward.
After all, they had all been directly involved.
"Gulp!"
Faced with this group of aggressive Gods of Destruction, Beerus couldn't help swallowing nervously as he took several steps backward.
He wanted to argue.
But the facts were exactly as they said.
He had absolutely no way to refute them.
Since he was clearly in the wrong, Beerus couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing Beerus's cowardly appearance, Whis couldn't help chuckling.
Bulma, who was crouching behind Whis, was secretly laughing as well.
After spending so much time around these gods, she had learned some of the secrets surrounding what had happened back then.
"Lord Beerus really was terrible. No wonder everyone targets him!"
Bulma covered her mouth, trying desperately to suppress her laughter.
Old Kai and the others covered their faces.
Having those embarrassing incidents brought up right in front of them was simply too humiliating.
Suddenly!
"Enough! All of you, shut up! It's been so long already. Why are you still bringing this up?"
Beerus finally lost his temper.
His eyes became frighteningly cold, and the pressure radiating from his body grew increasingly terrifying.
BOOM!
The entire Earth began to shake violently!
Bulma nearly fell flat on the ground from the tremors, but fortunately, Whis reached out with one hand, caught her, and shielded her from Beerus's pressure.
As for Vegeta, Beerus wasn't deliberately targeting him.
But even the pressure that spilled out from the confrontation was enough to make blood pour from Vegeta's seven orifices.
Unfortunately, among this group of gods, Vegeta was nothing more than a tiny nobody.
No one paid any attention to him.
In the end, Vados couldn't bear watching anymore and finally covered Vegeta with a protective barrier.
"You... Beerus, what are you trying to do?!"
Liquiir, the Fox, turned deathly pale with fear and couldn't help taking several steps backward.
Belmod quickly spoke up.
"Lord Zeno explicitly forbade the Gods of Destruction from fighting one another. You aren't planning to attack us, are you?"
The other Gods of Destruction were furious as well.
Beerus was clearly the one in the wrong, yet he was acting as though he were completely justified.
It was infuriating!
"I won't let you steal the method developed by my Seventh Universe!"
Beerus stepped forward.
"I'll give you three seconds. You'd better leave the Seventh Universe immediately. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!"
BOOM!
It was as if Mount Tai itself had come crashing down!
The waists of the Gods of Destruction instantly bent under the overwhelming pressure.
In the past, when Quitela was still alive, if he hadn't been punished by Lord Zeno, his full strength could have reached the early Seventh Order of the Divine Realm. He could barely withstand Beerus.
But now...
Quitela was dead.
Among the remaining Gods of Destruction, the strongest should have been Champa...
No.
Champa had already defected to Beerus's side.
That meant the strongest among them was now Rumsshi.
Rumsshi only possessed the strength of the early Sixth Order of the Divine Realm.
How could he possibly fight against Beerus, who possessed the power of a half-step Angel Realm?
"Damn it! Even if you kill us, we'll still copy your method!"
Giin, the God of Destruction of the Twelfth Universe, struggled to force those words out.
"Giin is right. We have no other choice anymore. Beerus, you can't stop us!"
Belmod immediately followed.
The other Gods of Destruction also voiced their agreement.
"You...!"
Beerus was utterly stunned.
He had never expected these guys to react this way.
But in truth, Gran had already anticipated that the Gods of Destruction would respond like this.
That was precisely why he had said that he had no way to stop others from copying his method.
The situation immediately reached a stalemate.
Beerus's pressure became increasingly terrifying, while the Gods of Destruction facing him grew weaker and weaker.
The weakest among them, Belmod, had even passed out.
As for the Angels accompanying the Gods of Destruction, they still showed no reaction whatsoever, as though they hadn't seen what was happening in front of them.
And there was a reason for their indifference.
They had long since become accustomed to situations like this.
As long as the Gods of Destruction didn't actually start fighting, the Angels wouldn't interfere.
Time seemed to stretch on for an entire century.
Finally!
"Hmph!"
Beerus withdrew his pressure and snorted coldly.
The confrontation abruptly ended.
The group of Gods of Destruction, including Belmod, suddenly collapsed to the ground as though all the strength had been drained from their bodies.
"So that's why Gran came up with that so-called patent fee..."
Looking at this bunch of useless idiots before him, Beerus finally understood Gran's painstaking intentions.
Beerus cursed at them.
"You shameless bastards! If Lord Zeno hadn't ordered us not to fight, I'd have killed all of you already."
Rumsshi slowly staggered to his feet.
"How much is dignity really worth?"
"If we don't complete Lord Zeno's punishment, we'll be erased. Compared to that, we'd rather die at your hands. Besides, if you attack us, Lord Zeno won't let you off either!"
The look of someone determined to drag everyone down with him made Beerus's forehead throb.
"I may not be able to kill you myself," Beerus said with a cold laugh, "but what if I have Gran deal with you?"
"..."
The Gods of Destruction all stood up.
Their expressions instantly became as ugly as if they had eaten something disgusting.
Beerus was restrained by Lord Zeno's orders.
But Gran wasn't!
The atmosphere once again became extremely tense.
"Fine. I might as well allow you to copy my Seventh Universe's method."
Beerus's tone suddenly changed.
"Huh?"
The Gods of Destruction immediately widened their eyes.
"Why did you suddenly..."
Arak hesitated.
Heles looked pleasantly surprised.
"Beerus, have you finally developed a conscience?"
Liquiir narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"You're suddenly being this generous? You aren't planning some kind of trick, are you?"
For once, Sidra actually managed to be clever.
"Beerus, do you have some other condition?"
Belmod exchanged a glance with Rumsshi.
Both of them could only smile bitterly.
This scene...
This situation...
It was practically identical to what had happened when Gran extorted them a year ago.
It looked like they were going to have to pay another enormous price this time!
"Smart!"
Beerus gave Sidra an approving look.
Sidra became somewhat smug and slightly raised his chin.
The other Gods of Destruction:
"..."
Why are you so proud of yourself?
Did you really think they weren't going to extort you anymore?
What an idiot!
"What exactly do you want?" Liquiir cautiously asked. "Let's hear it."
Heles and the others also pricked up their ears.
Rumsshi and Belmod didn't say anything.
Because they already knew what Beerus was going to bring up.
The patent fee.
