"Hmph, does a God of Destruction need a reason to destroy a planet?" Rumcy snorted.
Rumcy certainly wouldn't tell Gowasu that he wasn't the one who destroyed this planet.
It was that brat Vegeta.
Saying something like that would be too embarrassing.
If I can't even control my own disciple, and other Gods of Destruction find out, I'll lose face.
"Alright… I just felt it was a little regrettable," Gowasu sighed.
"Whoosh!"
It was at this moment that Zamasu also flew up from below.
Zamasu broke out in a cold sweat, almost scared out of his wits.
What kind of terrifying energy was that?
In just an instant, the entire planet turned into nothingness.
It was too terrifying.
It was truly too terrifying.
Who did it?
As Zamasu flew upwards, he also looked into the distance.
Zamasu quickly saw Vegeta, Rumcy, and Whis appearing above.
Three unfamiliar faces.
Gowasu was standing with them.
Judging by Gowasu's expression, he knew them.
Also, Gowasu, you're not being fair.
Knowing the planet was about to disappear, you immediately vanished using Instant Transmission…
And left me here by myself…
I'm speechless…
Zamasu shook his head and quickly flew up.
"Master… who are these three?" Zamasu asked.
"Zamasu, it's good that you're alright," Gowasu breathed a sigh of relief. "Your master knew you were skilled and would be able to dodge the destructive energy."
Zamasu: "..."
What if I couldn't dodge it?
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Lord Rumcy, the God of Destruction, and this is Whis, the Angel," Gowasu introduced to Zamasu.
When it came to introducing Vegeta.
Gowasu paused, not recognizing him at all.
"This is my disciple, Vegeta," Rumcy said simply.
"Ah, so he's an acting God of Destruction," Gowasu chuckled, then pointed at Zamasu. "This is my disciple, Zamasu, an acting Supreme Kai. You two will have to cooperate well in the future."
"God of Destruction?" Zamasu blinked.
Zamasu had never heard of a God of Destruction before.
"Simply put, where there is creation, there is destruction. Creation and destruction are indispensable," Whis explained from the side, mainly wanting to elaborate for Vegeta. "The Supreme Kais are responsible for creation, and the Gods of Destruction are responsible for destruction. Only when creation and destruction reach a balance will this universe develop in a better direction."
"Understood," Vegeta nodded.
Zamasu: "..."
Don't understand yet!
I haven't even fully grasped it.
How can balance be achieved?
Explain it in more detail.
"Also, the lives of the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kais are shared. If one dies, the other will disappear as well," Whis explained again to Vegeta.
Vegeta already knew this, so he wasn't surprised.
"What? Shared lives?" Zamasu was startled.
"That's right," Gowasu nodded with a smile. "Just like now, if I were to commit suicide, Lord Rumcy would disappear immediately as well."
Rumcy's face darkened.
What the hell…
Why would you commit suicide for no reason?
Are you trying to make me disappear?
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding," Gowasu laughed heartily.
"Can you please refrain from making such pointless jokes in the future?" Rumcy said angrily.
"Then… if one of them reaches the end of their natural lifespan, will the other one disappear too?" Zamasu felt his whole world was falling apart.
If that were the case, wouldn't it be better for me to just be a North Kai?
Why would I tie my life to a God of Destruction?
"No, the shared life mentioned here refers to the current God of Destruction and Supreme Kai. For example, if I were to retire and pass on the position of Supreme Kai to you, then your life would be bound to Lord Rumcy's," Gowasu explained. "Until your lifespan ends, and a new Supreme Kai appears."
"Then… how long is the lifespan of a God of Destruction?" Zamasu asked.
"Hmph, the lifespan of a God of Destruction is infinite," Rumcy snorted.
"What? Infinite?" Zamasu's eyes widened.
"Gowasu, I didn't expect you to take on a disciple so early. When do you plan to retire?" Rumcy asked curiously.
"It's estimated to be another fifty or sixty years. Once Zamasu has grown, I'll retire," Gowasu smiled slightly and retorted, "By the way, Lord Rumcy, are you also planning to retire? This doesn't seem like something Lord Rumcy would do."
"Hmph, I'm just taking on a disciple in my spare time," Rumcy snorted. "With a disciple, it'll be much more convenient to go out and destroy planets in the future, and I won't have to go myself, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right," Gowasu laughed heartily.
"Your disciple seems pretty good. Was he chosen from among the Kais?" Rumcy looked at Zamasu and asked.
"Yes, Zamasu is a North Kai. I saw that his aptitude and talent were both outstanding, so I decided to train him to be a Supreme Kai," Gowasu replied.
Over there.
Zamasu also kept glancing at Vegeta.
"Hey, are you an acting God of Destruction?" Zamasu called out.
"That's none of your damn business," Vegeta retorted.
Zamasu: "..."
Zamasu felt his whole world turn upside down at that moment.
"You… what did you say?" Anger appeared on Zamasu's face.
I'm greeting you politely, and you're cursing me!
We're both acting gods.
Is it appropriate for you to act like this?
"Get lost! If you don't want to get beaten, shut your mouth," Vegeta said, hands in his pockets, with a cold snort.
"Get beaten? This friend doesn't look old, but he speaks quite arrogantly," Zamasu chuckled. "Do you think you're my match?"
Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Why don't we spar then?" Zamasu proposed. "We're both acting gods, let's see who's stronger."
"You're better off not asking for a beating," Vegeta shook his head.
"Hahaha! You brat are truly interesting! Do you know what you're saying?" Zamasu burst into laughter, and an endless fighting spirit immediately appeared on his face. "Come on, let me see what makes you, an acting God of Destruction, so arrogant?"
Vegeta didn't even bother to make a move, his hands still tucked in his pockets.
Immediately after, Vegeta casually flicked his tail that was wrapped around his waist.
A flick of the wrist from a distance.
An invisible energy beam directly struck Zamasu.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud.
Zamasu was unfortunate enough to be hit, and he was sent flying backward immediately.
