Chapter 47

Beerus' expression was calm, his tone cold: "God of Destruction…"

At those words—

Vegeta and the others instantly reacted.

Vegeta's face turned grim. No wonder Aishi said the God of Destruction was terrifying.

The moment he laid eyes on Beerus, some long-buried memories resurfaced in his mind.

So it was this guy...

He was the one who left such a deep scar on him all those years ago.

A God of Destruction, huh?

Piccolo also wore a grave expression.

So this was the one Aishi warned them about?

Now that he got a good look at him—he really did seem extraordinary.

Paragus, watching everyone like they were facing their worst nightmare, frowned and muttered, "Is it that bad…?"

"I don't know," Broly said, shaking his head.

"But…"

His face was unusually serious. "He gives me an insane amount of pressure…"

This was, without a doubt, the scariest person he'd ever encountered—second only to Aishi.

Even though Beerus wasn't releasing any energy, the pressure and sense of danger were suffocating.

Whis chuckled softly. "Lord Beerus, we definitely came to the right place… but do be careful."

"I'll leave you be for now," he added with a smile before turning to greet 18 and the others politely.

Then, grinning like a kid, he walked off toward the snack booth.

His eyes sparkled—he'd been eyeing the food here since they arrived.

The smell, the presentation…!

Yes, definitely the right place.

Beerus continued walking toward Aishi.

But just then—

Yamcha suddenly stepped up and casually threw his arm over Beerus' shoulder.

He grinned. "God of Destruction? That sounds pretty cool. You wanna join our party?"

Unlike Piccolo and the others, Yamcha didn't recognize Beerus.

He hadn't been around during the last few fights.

He'd only heard rumors about Aishi's feats… not all the details.

Seeing this, the expressions of Piccolo and the others instantly changed.

Vegeta's face darkened. "This idiot…"

Piccolo and the rest broke into a cold sweat.

You're never around for the actual fights—and the one time the scariest guy shows up, YOU go and make contact!?

To everyone's shock—Beerus didn't get angry.

He calmly asked, "Party?"

Yamcha grinned. "Yeah! Bulma's birthday bash! It's super fun—tons of food and games! Want me to show you around?"

Food?

Beerus' eyes lit up slightly and he nodded. "Sure."

…Totally not because he was a glutton.

Besides, he still had the whole "Super Saiyan God" thing to deal with later.

No rush.

He paused. "But what if the food's bad?"

Yamcha puffed his chest out and boasted, "No way it's bad! If it sucks, you can blow up the planet!"

Everyone: "…"

Beerus narrowed his eyes slightly.

Daring to use Earth as a wager? That took guts.

"Very well."

Yamcha beamed. "Come on, follow me! I'll take you to the best snacks!"

With that, he wrapped his arm around Beerus' shoulders and led him off toward the snack booths.

Beerus didn't object.

He gave Aishi one final glance… then followed Yamcha without another word.

Aishi remained still, calm as ever.

"He's gone…"

21 said, her expression serious.

Aishi replied coolly, "It's fine. Letting him follow Yamcha to eat and relax a bit isn't a bad idea…

After all, once someone eats your food, they won't be so quick to destroy your planet."

"True,"

18 and 21 both nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile—

Everyone else was left dumbfounded.

Huh?

That actually worked!?

Piccolo was speechless.

So… being an idiot has its perks?

Vegeta's mouth twitched. Unbelievable.

Then he flew toward Aishi.

Seeing that, the others followed quickly.

Krillin spoke up, tense. "Aishi, what do we do now?"

"So the God of Destruction you mentioned… he really came…"

Aishi smiled. "Don't worry. Just act normal. I'll handle the rest."

Vegeta frowned, eyes sharp. "What's the deal with that guy? I couldn't sense a single trace of energy from him, but the pressure he gives off is overwhelming."

Krillin nodded. "Yeah! I've never seen anyone with zero detectable energy. Isn't that something all living things have?"

Piccolo thought for a moment. "Maybe it's because he's a god…"

That feeling—he vaguely remembered something similar when they met Shin, the Supreme Kai.

Listening to them, Aishi explained.

"That's right… it's because he's a god.

We can't feel his ki because he's surrounded by divine energy—kami no chikara (God Ki)!"

"God Ki?"

Vegeta blinked.

"I guess I never told you guys…"

Aishi paused, then continued slowly.

"You can think of it as a purer form of energy—more refined than regular ki.

But it's fundamentally different. It's denser in both spirit and power…"

"To control it, the user needs extreme precision and incredible stamina."

"That's how they keep their energy perfectly stable—whether in battle or at rest."

"That's also why we can't sense them—because their energy fluctuations are nearly zero."

Everyone finally understood.

So that's why gods don't have detectable energy…

Their energy was so stable and refined, it was basically invisible!

Krillin asked, "Is God Ki stronger than regular ki?"

"Of course," Aishi replied.

Vegeta nodded. "In that case, God Ki sounds like a solid new training path."

Aishi nodded again. "It is."

Krillin suddenly lit up. "Wait! Aishi, does that mean anyone can learn God Ki?"

"You can."

Everyone's eyes sparkled at once.

But the next thing Aishi said crushed their excitement.

"However…

You need a powerful god as your teacher.

And you need extreme willpower and determination."

"Mastering God Ki isn't easy."

If it were that simple, everyone would be doing it.

Krillin's face fell. "Damn… I thought I finally found a path that suited me."

Just the first requirement was already too much.

Forget finding a strong god willing to teach him—who'd even want to train someone with his level of talent?

Saiyans really were the favorites of fate…

Vegeta narrowed his eyes. "Aishi, you've already mastered it, haven't you? You explained it way too clearly."

"Yes."

Aishi smiled and didn't hide it—he'd already learned to use God Ki.

And he had both Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue under his belt!

Vegeta clenched his teeth and snorted.

So that's how it was.

No wonder Aishi had Gohan tell him about Super Saiyan 4's evolution path.

He'd already taken an even stronger route…
