"Swish!"
Ramsey appeared below Vegeta's destructive energy in an instant.
"Bang!"
Ramsey slapped it away, scattering Vegeta's destructive energy.
"What are you doing?" Vegeta asked.
"Kid, can you let me finish speaking?" Ramsey bared his teeth.
"Speak," Vegeta said.
"I said this planet affects the balance of the universe," Ramsey stated.
"So I'm going to destroy it," Vegeta replied. "Makes sense, right?"
"I mean... this planet can still be saved. Destroying half of it should suffice," Ramsey said with a dark expression. "Can't you wait until I finish speaking before releasing destructive energy?"
"I am destroying half of it. The destructive energy I just unleashed was indeed meant to destroy half the planet. You're the one who stopped me," Vegeta said with a smile.
"You... what did you say?" Ramsey froze.
"Indeed, Mr. Vegeta's destructive energy would have destroyed half the planet, leaving the other half to its own devices," Whis analyzed.
Ramsey: "..."
"Ahem... well done, well done. Your ability to grasp the essence of things is commendable," Ramsey laughed, unsure of how else to respond.
"Hurry and get out of the way. I haven't destroyed a planet yet," Vegeta said, condensing another destructive energy.
Ramsey was speechless.
This kid is getting serious...
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta's destructive energy roared towards the red planet below.
This time, Ramsey did not intervene.
...
On the red planet.
Two gods were guests in the courtyard outside the planet's royal palace.
The planet's lord lavished them with food and drink.
"Lord Kaioshin, please have some tea," the planet's lord offered, holding out a cup of tea.
"You are too kind," Grand Kaioshin Gowasu smiled, taking the teacup and taking a sip. "Excellent tea, a very pure and beautiful flavor..."
"If Lord Kaioshin likes it, you can take some back with you," the planet's lord immediately said.
"Zamasu, you should try some too," Gowasu called out to his disciple, Zamasu, who was behind him.
"Yes, teacher," Zamasu bowed.
The planet's lord immediately poured Zamasu a cup of tea and presented it with both hands.
Zamasu took the teacup and took a small sip, his face showing little expression.
"This is my disciple, Zamasu. Actually, I've been considering retirement for some time now. When I retire, my disciple Zamasu will succeed me as the Kaioshin," Gowasu said to the planet's lord.
The planet's lord's attitude towards Zamasu immediately did a 180-degree turn.
Before, he had merely considered Zamasu to be the Kaioshin's subordinate.
He never expected this person would become the future Kaioshin.
The reason this planet had developed to its current scale was also inextricably linked to the Kaioshin's patronage.
"Lord Zamasu, please take care of me in the future," the planet's lord said respectfully to Zamasu.
"Hmph, the humans on this planet are constantly at war. Don't think I don't know," Zamasu snorted.
"This..." The planet's lord was at a loss for words and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Teacher, the people on this planet are constantly fighting. Such ugly humans should be eradicated," Zamasu said to Gowasu.
The planet's lord trembled, his face contorting.
"Zamasu, we are Kaioshins. Our mission is to silently protect humanity and guide planets towards a good direction," Gowasu advised. "Don't say such things again in the future."
Zamasu was silent.
"And you, as the planet's lord, try to prevent such wars as much as possible. Don't wait until the wars are irreversible. When that time truly comes, the planet may face annihilation," Gowasu sighed helplessly.
"Yes... I understand, Lord Kaioshin..." the planet's lord quickly replied. "However, I didn't start the wars on this planet. Although I am the lord of this planet, my authority is limited..."
"Teacher, look what is that?" Zamasu blinked and suddenly pointed at the purplish-red energy sphere appearing in the sky.
Gowasu also looked up.
"This... this energy sphere's color... looks a bit familiar," Gowasu muttered, looking up at the sky.
"What? What is that?" The planet's lord suddenly had a bad feeling.
In space.
It hadn't been long since Vegeta released his destructive energy.
"Oh dear, oh dear... Grand Kaioshin Gowasu is on the planet," Whis suddenly said.
"You... what did you say?" Ramseys' face instantly turned pale.
"Yes, Lord Gowasu is visiting that planet," Whis replied. "According to the trajectory of the destructive energy Vegeta just unleashed, it might land near Lord Gowasu."
Ramsey felt a million thoughts racing through his mind.
"Whoosh!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ramsey took a deep breath and let out a muffled roar.
The sound wave immediately swept downwards, quickly catching up to Vegeta's destructive energy.
"Crack!"
Ramsey's sonic blast shattered Vegeta's destructive energy into pieces.
"Phew..."
Seeing that Vegeta's destructive energy was gone, Ramsey's heart finally settled.
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness I reacted so quickly.
Otherwise, if that Kaioshin died, I would disappear too.
Why was that old Kaioshin on this planet?
In the courtyard below the planet's royal palace.
"It disappeared..." the planet's lord stared blankly.
"What happened?" Zamasu was also surprised.
"That energy sphere just now looked very familiar... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before," Gowasu mused.
"Why did it disappear out of thin air?" Zamasu frowned.
"It feels like it encountered another powerful energy that destroyed it," Gowasu analyzed.
"Is there someone up there?" Zamasu asked.
"Perhaps..." Gowasu nodded.
"Hmph, foolish humans, fighting above the gods!" Zamasu's expression grew increasingly grim.
In space.
Vegeta had unleashed two energy spheres in a row, both stopped by Ramsey.
Vegeta was getting annoyed.
You've got to be kidding me!
Are you going to keep this up?
Vegeta let out a cold snort, no longer keeping his hands in his pockets, and forcefully raised both hands upwards.
