Dragon Ball: West City High Schooler, Captures 18!

Aishi's figure slowly faded, following the coordinates given by Whis, heading toward the Palace of Zeno.

At the same time—

Universe 6.

Realm of the God of Destruction.

Champa retracted his gaze from a distant location and let out a long sigh.

"It's finally over!!"

He had been monitoring Beerus' side from the very beginning!

First, a terrifying energy at the level of a peak God of Destruction surged over to their universe...

Then Beerus' ki...

And finally, an absolutely overwhelming presence—Aishi's energy!

Champa was completely shaken—he didn't even know which direction was north anymore.

With a grave expression, he turned to Vados:

"Vados, what exactly happened over there?!

How could it be that terrifying?!"

Vados mused for a moment.

"I'm not entirely sure, but most likely, there was a battle.

Beerus fought first... then Aishi took over."

Champa's expression darkened.

"How does Beerus have so many powerful fighters?

A peak-level God of Destruction... How the hell did that happen?"

A peak God of Destruction?

Is that something you can just become because you want to?

Completely absurd!

Champa said seriously,

"What I'm more concerned about is—

Was that person recruited by Beerus?

If so, we're looking at an enormous threat in the Tournament of Power for Lord Zeno!"

Vados chuckled gently.

"Lord Champa, panicking won't help.

We're bound to rank at the bottom anyway."

Champa: "..."

He shot her a fierce glare.

"Can you not be so sarcastic?!"

Vados smiled and shook her head.

"I'm just stating the facts.

Besides... even if you participated yourself, it wouldn't change much."

Champa glared again, his voice rising:

"I'm not talking to you anymore…

Let's just wait for Aishi to show up!"

He couldn't argue with Vados—she always drove him half-crazy.

But Aishi was different.

Aishi could get under her skin instead…

Champa suddenly missed the days when Aishi was around.

"Sigh... If only Aishi was part of my team. That'd be amazing…"

Vados said nothing, but her eyes sparkled faintly.

Aishi…

At the same time—

Zeno's Palace.

——Swoosh!

Aishi looked up at the giant glowing sign overhead, confirming he was in the right place before stepping forward.

Just then—

A figure slowly emerged.

The Grand Priest smiled at Aishi.

"Mr. Aishi, you've arrived."

Aishi nodded and responded respectfully.

"Grand Priest."

Although he was strong, his power still didn't surpass the Grand Priest's.

He offered the proper respect.

The Grand Priest smiled again and slowly raised a hand.

"This way…"

Aishi followed.

Along the way—

Magnificent palaces and towering structures stretched in every direction.

All radiating timeless majesty.

Aishi couldn't help glancing around in admiration.

The Grand Priest kept his hands behind his back, saying nothing.

Aishi's eyes shifted slightly.

He couldn't read him at all.

Before long—

The two arrived at the inner sanctum of Zeno's Palace.

The Grand Priest smiled.

"We've arrived."

"Yaaay~!"

Suddenly, a tiny figure zoomed toward them.

Zeno beamed with joy.

"Aishi! You're finally here!"

Aishi nodded and smiled back.

"Good to see you again."

Then he asked curiously,

"Lord Zeno, what did you want to see me for?"

Zeno nodded with a smile.

"It's nothing big… I just want to ask you for a favor!"

Aishi blinked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"A favor?"

Zeno pouted playfully.

"Mmm… I don't really know how to say it!"

At that moment, the Grand Priest stepped forward with a smile.

"Shall I explain for Lord Zeno?"

Zeno clapped happily.

"Yes! You explain!"

Aishi turned to the Grand Priest, quietly waiting.

The Grand Priest thought for a moment, then began:

"It's like this—

Lord Zeno has always wanted to hold a new tournament."

Aishi nodded.

"But the tournament never came together.

The reason is simple—because of you."

The Grand Priest glanced at Aishi and chuckled.

"Your strength has already surpassed the Gods of Destruction.

If you joined the tournament, it would be pure one-sided domination.

There'd be no suspense, no excitement."

"But... Lord Zeno enjoys watching you fight.

And at the same time, we must also consider the entertainment value for the other universes."

"So, Lord Zeno came up with a new idea."

Aishi nodded. That was true.

With his strength, entering the Tournament of Power was like joining a toddler's martial arts class.

"Lord Zeno wants to invite more powerful fighters.

That way, the tournament will be more fun—and more intense!"

Aishi asked,

"And?"

The Grand Priest smiled.

"That's where you come in."

Aishi blinked.

"Me?"

The Grand Priest nodded.

"Recently, the Kai of Time reported unusual activity—

Across countless parallel universes and isolated timelines,

malicious beings are wreaking havoc through slaughter, interference, and destruction."

"Many universes have already suffered severely."

Aishi's eyes narrowed.

"You mean…"

The Grand Priest smiled.

"Lord Zeno hopes you'll resolve this.

By stabilizing these timelines, you can also invite those parallel universes to join the tournament!"

Zeno jumped excitedly.

"Yup! That's it! A cross-dimensional tournament!

Aishi, don't you wanna see what it's like?!"

Aishi thought about it.

Sounds… kind of awesome?

Especially since his system required him to battle strong opponents.

Aishi asked curiously,

"Why not send someone else?

Like… the Gods of Destruction?"

The two paused.

The Grand Priest laughed and shook his head.

"Let the professionals handle the professional work.

The Gods of Destruction already have their assigned duties."

"Besides—

This situation is beyond their capabilities."

Aishi thought about it.

True.

To be able to manipulate and destroy entire timelines...

That level of threat wasn't something most Gods of Destruction could handle.

Aside from Beerus, maybe.

Aishi nodded.

"Can you tell me more about these evil beings?

Are they a group? Or just acting individually?"

The Grand Priest replied,

"They're a group."

Aishi's eyes narrowed again.

That was serious.

A group effort?

Then he asked,

"If you already know all this… why don't you take them down?"

The Grand Priest smiled faintly.

"Again… I serve Lord Zeno.

Let the right people do the right job."

Nothing more needed to be said.

Aishi understood now.

No wonder no one intervened when Zamasu massacred the Supreme Kais,

got the Gods of Destruction killed,

brought down the Angels,

and destroyed universes…

It wasn't that they couldn't step in.

They simply chose not to.

That's why Zamasu got as far as he did.

Aishi nodded.

"Alright.

I'll take the job."

Zeno clapped joyfully.

"Really, Aishi?!"

Aishi nodded.

"Yes!"
