Chapter 70 Exhibition

Eero nodded thoughtfully. "This guess about my strength level feels very accurate."

Eero then raised his head, watched the setting sun, and walked inside his house.

On the other side, Goku brought the counterpart Zeno and let both Zenos meet, completing his promise.

Then Z warriors started getting busy in their daily life. Eero himself decided to relax a little. His strength now reached a level which is almost the ceiling of this multiverse.

Eero was sitting in his lounge, instantly raised his eyebrows.

He walked toward the door, opening it, looking at the female outside. A smile appeared on his face. "Long time no see."

"How are you, Eero?" Marcarita greeted with a smile, then walked inside along with him.

Eero appeared in the lounge with her and asked, "I am good. What brings you here, all the way from Universe 11?"

"I can't come to visit you, can I?" Marcarita said playfully.

Eero smiled and nodded. "Of course you can."

Then he visited the kitchen. He raised his finger, and instantly a little colorful light burst a bull's liver into small pieces, and seasoning boxes appeared in front of him.

"This creation power is really handy," Eero thought to himself.

After he started preparing the dishes slowly, after a while, aroma spread through the whole house.

Eero prepared a few desserts, appeared in the lounge area, and put the dishes on the table, looking at Marcarita stealing glances and gulping.

"Come eat before it gets cold," Eero said.

"It's delicious. What kind of meat is this? I haven't eaten it before," Marcarita exclaimed.

"It's the liver of a bull," Eero replied.

"Oh, it's surprisingly good," Marcarita said, with a thoughtful expression.

"Now why are you here?" Eero asked curiously.

"Eero, I want you to join us in Universe 11. I foresaw a danger of universe annihilation. You are already a god of destruction candidate," Marcarita then said while eating.

Eero shook his head while rubbing his head and replied apologetically, "I am sorry. I can't join you. Also, the God of Destruction seat I have rejected it, as I don't want to bow to Zeno and some higher being in the universe, which I don't like."

"Have you met Zeno-sama?" Marcarita was surprised, then asked.

"Yeah, I saw him twice," Eero replied calmly.

"Oh, it means all my struggle came to nothing," Marcarita spoke disappointingly.

Looking at her despondent state, Eero then asked curiously, "Why don't you retire from your duties and live your life?"

Marcarita's eyes widened in surprise, then glanced at Eero, tightening her staff, replied, "It's the desire of all angels to retire from their duties and live their life like our father, but we know it's not possible."

"Hmmm!!!" Eero startled.

Looking at her longing eyes, he became thoughtful. 'Maybe my powers probably can.'

Outside the house,

Looking at Marcarita turning into colorful starlight flying away,

'She was here for me, must have been disappointed a lot,' Eero thought to himself, then shook his head.

"Also, she appeared here which means Grand Minister already announced a competition between all universes in the sacred world of Kai," Eero muttered thoughtfully.

...

Few days ago,

Sacred world of the Kai,

The Grand Minister has arrived at the Sacred World of the Kai in Universe 7 in order to relay the details of the Tournament of Power to Goku, Beerus, Whis, Supreme Kai, Kibito, and Old Kai.

After stating when the tournament will take place, Grand Minister announces that the tournament will be held in the Null Realm, a world with no time or space, so that all fighters can use the full extent of their powers freely.

The Grand Minister also announces that he has collected the Super Dragon Balls for the tournament and that Champa has offered him the three that he already had.

Beerus curses Champa under his breath for secretly collecting them again. Supreme Kai asks what the victorious universe will win, only for the Grand Minister to claim that "nothing" would be won.

The Grand Minister then announces an ultimatum for all participants, though he regrets announcing it so soon, he feels like he should announce it as Goku is Zeno's friend: Zeno will instantly destroy any universe defeated in the tournament.

The Universe 7 group proceed to panic upon hearing this. Grand Minister also announces a personal request to Goku from Zeno: as Future Zeno does not know what a tournament is, there will be an exhibition match called the Zen Exhibition Match, where 3 fighters from Universe 7 will fight against 3 fighters from Universe 9, and the two Zenos will be personally watching.

The Grand Minister tells Goku to find 2 more fighters to team up within the next hour and to head to Zeno's Palace before leaving.

Beerus berates Goku again, asking him just what he has done to every universe. Supreme Kai comments that should Universe 7 lose and be destroyed, he will be too ashamed to face all living beings.

Goku offers to personally ask Zeno to not destroy any universe but Whis advises against this, however, saying that should Zeno or Grand Minister get annoyed at Goku's pestering, he would be destroyed on the spot.

Old Kai later reminds him to find 2 partners for the match and 9 more partners for the tournament. Beerus yells at Goku to take responsibility and go find 2 more people to fight with him.

Goku goes to Earth and asks Vegeta to come with him and fight, however, Vegeta refuses because Bulma is giving birth soon. Goten and Trunks greet Goku later.

Vegeta suggests that Goku should ask his son. After thinking that he was referring to Goten, Goku remembers his other son, Gohan, thanking Vegeta.

Goku meets Gohan at his house and tells him about the tournament. Gohan is hesitant at first, later, Goku tells him about the extreme stipulation about the losing universes being destroyed, also wanting Gohan to keep it a secret to himself, much to his awe.

Gohan berates his father about the consequences that will happen if the people learn about the tournament. Gohan and Goku agree to keep this a secret from everyone else.

Videl appears and asks them about their whispering. Goku claims that Gohan refused to participate in a tournament when he asked him.
