World of Void.

  Every clash between Grand Supreme Kai and Beerus sent shockwaves through Whis' barrier. Gohan and Trunks felt their hearts tighten.

  Their fighting styles—polar opposites.

  Grand Supreme Kai Buu split his body. Hundreds of fists swarmed Beerus from all directions.

  Beerus—a pure warrior. No tricks. But trapped. His strikes hit the fists like punching cotton candy. Useless.

  He activated his divine authority. "Hakai."

  The fists froze. Crumbled into white sand. Vanished.

  "Destruction again?"

  "Heh. Your fists are annoying. Couldn't escape without it."

  "I really don't like you, Beerus."

  "Likewise. Your so-called mercy leaves low-quality planets everywhere. Do you know how much trouble they cause me?"

  As God of Destruction, I have to eliminate unfit planets. If I don't, they'll drag the universe—and me—down with them.

  Grand Supreme Kai Buu countered. "Your judgment's flawed. Some civilizations are in their infancy. They go through barbaric phases. You stole food from primitives. They defended it. You labeled their planet 'unfit' and destroyed it. Unreasonable."

  Beerus picked his ear. "Mortals disrespecting gods is a sin. Strange that you—a top-tier deity—sympathize with savages."

  "Gods should love and respect life. Only then will life respect us."

  Gods love mortals. Grand Supreme Kai Buu believed this.

  Beerus scoffed. "That's your job. I destroy. Without me, this universe would've collapsed long ago. Even with my efforts, we're near the bottom of the rankings. I need to work harder."

  "Not while I'm here."

  "Then show me you can stop me!"

  Purple aura erupted from Beerus. Pink energy blazed from Grand Supreme Kai Buu. His appearance shifted—back to his original Grand Supreme Kai form.

  They collided. Again. Again. Each impact shook the void.

  Gohan and Trunks watched in awe.

  Perilla closed her eyes. Felt the flow of divine power. Beerus' destruction. Grand Supreme Kai Buu's creation.

  Finally. I understand. This is the divine realm.

  "I get it now. So this is godhood."

  Gohan and Trunks turned. Her aura shifted.

  Whis smiled. "Congratulations, Miss Perilla. You've reached Super Saiyan God."

  "Perilla, you did it!"

  "Luck. Without watching them fight, I couldn't have broken through."

  "Show us, Perilla-nee! Transform!"

  Perilla grinned. "Alright, alright. Here—"

  She vanished.

  Gohan and Trunks blinked. Where'd she go?

  Whis sensed it immediately. "Spacetime transfer. An external force pulled her to another timeline."

  "Another timeline?"

  Whis peered into his staff's orb. Searched. Found her. "She's still in Universe 7. Just a parallel timeline."

  He projected the image.

  Trunks gasped. "That's my house!"

  Parallel Timeline—Capsule Corp.

  Perilla stood confused. I was about to transform. Then—weightlessness. Now I'm here?

  The Earth Dragon floated before her. Night sky. Familiar gate.

  "Huh? What just happened?"

  Shenron looked past her. "I've brought the Super Saiyan God you requested. Wish granted. Farewell!"

  He scattered into seven Dragon Balls. Fled like he'd seen a ghost.

  His voice echoed in Perilla's mind. "I'm sorry, Super Saiyan God. I didn't ask permission. But I had no choice. Forgive me!"

  Wait. Earth's Dragon grants three wishes. He brought me here and ran?! What about the other two?! Since when is Shenron this unprofessional?! And why's he scared?!

  A familiar voice spoke behind her. "You're the Super Saiyan God, right? I'm Son Goku. I asked Shenron to bring you here."

  Perilla turned. Crab hair. Orange gi. Goofy grin. The protagonist himself.

  "You're Son Goku?"

  "Yep! Sorry for the sudden summon. But if we didn't bring you, Lord Beerus would destroy Earth."

  Goku clasped his hands apologetically.

  Perilla turned. Beerus and Whis stood nearby.

  Beerus grinned. "So you're the Super Saiyan God? I see Potara Earrings. Are you a Supreme Kai?"

  "Just a candidate. I work under the Supreme Kai of Time."

  Beerus' grin widened. "Chronoa's taking students now? Interesting. But that doesn't matter. Show me—Super Saiyan God!"

  Original Timeline—World of Void.

  Gohan stared at the projection. Whispered. "Dad... Dad..."

  "That's Gohan-bro's father? Son Goku?"

  Trunks studied the screen. Turned to Whis. "Lord Whis, why did that timeline's Shenron transfer Perilla-nee?"

  "I'm not sure. But let's check the replay."
