Gathering the Rescue Team

In any case, as an angel, he definitely didn't dare to betray the Grand Priest, even though he did like Goten a lot. Beerus gritted his teeth angrily. If even Whis was unwilling to help them now, then they wouldn't even know where Goten had been taken, let alone the unrealistic prospect of a rescue.

"Whis, Goten is my son no matter what. Whether you want to accompany us or not, at least tell us where he is now?" Goku also begged. For Goten, he had always felt great guilt.

The reason why Goten fought Merno this time and killed the God of Destruction of the fourth universe was entirely to protect the Earth and the seventh universe. He felt that even an angel should not be so unreasonable, since what Goten did was to protect everyone!

"I can't help you with this matter and I won't help you. If you want to do this, I will stop you. Your thinking is very dangerous now, thinking of confronting Lord Zeno and Lord Grand Priest. I won't allow this. Besides, I don't want to watch you die meaninglessly!" Whis said in a very firm voice.

Allowing them to fight against the Grand Priest and Zeno was simply courting death! The rules they once set cannot be shaken by anyone. Trying to challenge their authority in vain would lead to death! In Zeno's eyes, whether it was mortals like Goku or Beerus, the God of Destruction, they were all like ants. They could be easily erased with a wave of his hand. It was as simple as erasing a small ant.

"Hmph! You don't have to worry about us, Whis. It seems that I thought too highly of you before. It seems that what Merno said is right, you guys really have no sense of morality," Beerus snorted again and said in disgust!

This guy seemed to be completely different from the Whis he knew before. His firm stance was terrifying! It seemed that all feelings and emotions were a kind of sin in his view. What an extreme idea this was, like a tool without any feelings of his own.

Whoosh!!

And at this moment, Shin suddenly appeared in the God of Destruction Realm with the old Kai and Kibito through Instant Movement.

"Lord Beerus, Mr. Goku, Mr. Vegeta... Have you found a solution to Goten?" Shin first greeted Beerus and Goku. Then he anxiously asked about the result. Ever since he knew that Goten was taken away by the Grand Priest, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pan. Because since getting to know Goten, Goten treated him as a friend. And he never relied on his own strength to show off his might in front of him or make him uncomfortable.

Moreover, he helped him release the ancestor and solve the nightmare Majin Buu in his heart. So, in his heart, he had long regarded Goten as his best friend. Now that he heard that his friend was in trouble, he naturally wanted to come over and help.

"Idiot, do you still need to ask this kind of thing? You can know the answer just by looking at their expressions," old Kai immediately cursed and said. In fact, he also stopped Shin before, telling him not to get involved in this matter! Because this matter was dealt with by the Grand Priest and it would be Zeno who would finally resolve it.

No matter which of these two people it was, Shin couldn't offend them. But this unfilial boy seemed to have eaten the guts of a tiger and made up his mind to meddle in this muddy water desperately. And he also touted about a lot of morals and virtues. He didn't even hesitate to quarrel with his own ancestor! In the end, the old Kai really couldn't hold him back, so he had to follow along.

"Lord Shin, we don't even know where Goten is now! Whis is the only one who might know about Goten's whereabouts, but he won't tell us," Goku replied with a serious face. As for Beerus, he didn't even look at these Supreme Kais in the eye. Because in his mind, these guys couldn't help at all, all they would do was just add to the chaos.

"What should I do then?" Shin felt deflated instantly. Although they, the Supreme Kai, did have a lot of abilities, in this matter, he really couldn't be of help. There was no way they could find Goten, who was being held by the Grand Priest.

"Don't you see that's what we're figuring out? If you really come to help, let's find a way together," Beerus said angrily. Of course, the reason why he was angry was because Whis was being so stubborn. Whatever they said, he stood firm and was not willing to help in the slightest.

Several people just sat there. A day passed in a blink of an eye. But they had no clue.

"Everyone, don't think about it anymore. Although Goten committed a crime, he shouldn't be punished by death. Lord Zeno still likes him, so he shouldn't be put to death directly! So everyone should give up this idea and do what you should do," Whis suggested again, looking at the frowning crowd.

In fact, what he did was also for the good of Beerus and the others. It would have been impossible to rescue Goten with only passion. There was a 90% chance that they would get themselves into trouble. This was not loyalty; it was stupidity. Even if they found Goten, they would eventually get themselves in trouble, possibly leading Zeno to destroy them all. This was extremely suicidal.

"Darn it! Don't talk!" Beerus immediately cursed at Whis. He was obviously very disappointed and unhappy with Whis at this time.

"Lord Beerus, I have thought of a way," Vegeta spoke suddenly.

"What way? Say it quickly," Everyone immediately turned their attention to Vegeta.

"Using the Super Dragon Balls, it might be possible to bring Goten back. Even if we can't bring him back, at least we can know his whereabouts," Vegeta suggested. This was the best idea he could think of because, apart from an Angel, the only one who could know Goten's whereabouts was Super Shenron.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this? Great! As long as Super Shenron is summoned, we can find him for sure. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan, let's split up and find the Super Dragon Balls," Beerus instructed the three of them. Then he looked at Shin and the others and said, "Hurry up and come together, both of you!" After all, Supreme Kai's Instant Transmission was very useful.

"Good," everyone nodded, hope rekindled in their hearts. Although Whis wanted to stop them, he ultimately chose not to make a move. Since they wanted to challenge the authority of Zeno and the Grand Priest, let them do it! He tried to dissuade them, but they did not listen to him at all. He only hoped that they wouldn't be punished harshly.

...

Two days passed quickly. Several people searched almost every corner of the two universes but didn't find a single Super Dragon Ball. Helplessly, everyone returned to the God of Destruction Realm again.

"Lord Beerus, even with the Super Dragon Ball Radar, we haven't found a single Super Dragon Ball. It seems that in the seventh universe and the sixth universe, the Super Dragon Balls no longer exist," Goku said in despair. The Super Dragon Balls were their only hope, and now that hope seemed dashed. Everyone frowned again. It seemed impossible to rescue Goten. They had to believe Whis' words; with their abilities, they couldn't find Goten. Even if they did find him, they wouldn't be able to save him.

As everyone was almost desperate, a portal suddenly appeared in the sky of the God of Destruction Realm. Immediately afterward, a figure flew out from the dimensional portal.

This figure was Merno. Whis and Beerus felt Merno's presence immediately, then raised their heads abruptly.

"Big brother Merno? What's going on? Wasn't he taken away by his father?" Whis muttered to himself with a puzzled expression. He and Goten made similar mistakes, and Merno's mistakes were even more serious, as he instigated a battle between multiple Gods of Destruction and Goten which even resulted in the death of Quitela.

But why was he free so soon? As for Goten, there were still no whereabouts. Everyone didn't notice that a fully formed flower pattern on the back of Merno's hand.

"Damn bastard, it's you again," Beerus's anger was fully charged the moment he saw Merno. He jumped and attacked Merno directly. If it weren't for this bastard, Goten would not have been taken away by the Grand Priest, and there had been no news of him so far. Seeing him, Goku and Vegeta also instantly transformed into Super Saiyan Blue and rushed directly towards Merno.

Merno didn't move; the ki aura around his body easily blocked the attack of the three. Then he said lightly, "It seems that everyone is worrying about Goten. Don't be so angry; I'm here to help you rescue Goten."

Of course, no one believed his words! The three launched a storm-like attack again. Merno shook his head with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, reasoning with these guys required calming them down first. His body disappeared like a mirage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the sound of three collisions, the pupils of Beerus, Goku, and Vegeta shrank instantly. Immediately afterward, their bodies fell to the ground uncontrollably. After all, compared with Merno's strength, there was still a huge gap between them.

"Everyone, can you listen to me now? What I just said is not a lie. I am here to help you save Goten, and I know where he's being held." Merno said, looking at Beerus and Vegeta who had lost their combat effectiveness.

"Stop farting here, you bastard! If it wasn't for you, Goten would never have been taken by the Grand Priest! Now you're pretending to be here and saying such sanctimonious nonsense. Do you think we are all fools who would believe such words?" Beerus immediately cursed loudly. When he decided to rescue Goten, he was already prepared to die. So, in his eyes, the so-called Angel was nothing but bullshit. He was going to fight him to death.

"It's okay if you don't believe it. I will prove it to you with my actions. Goten is now imprisoned in the Void Realm. According to the time ratio between the outside and the Void Realm, he has been imprisoned inside for 75 years. And if I want to go to that place and get Goten out, I can't do it alone. I need a God of Destruction and a Supreme Kai to join me." Merno put away his smile and then said very seriously.

Although his strength was much stronger than other Angels, compared with the Grand Priest, there was still a very big gap. Therefore, it was impossible to rescue Goten by relying on one person's power. So, it was necessary to rely on the pure power of laws of God of Destruction and Supreme Kai.

"Void Realm? What's that place?" Goku and Vegeta were taken aback for a moment. They had never heard of such a place. However, the expressions of Beerus and Whis suddenly changed.

"I...how did I forget about that place? Generally, Gods who have committed serious crimes would be imprisoned in that place." Beerus suddenly realized. Perhaps it was because he subconsciously felt that Goten was just an ordinary mortal, so he didn't think of the Void Realm. But even if he thought about it, it was impossible for a God of Destruction to reach that kind of place.

"Brother! Please stop talking! Are you really going to tear yourself apart from Father and the others? If you continue to do this, I must report this matter to Father," Whis immediately said to Merno. The more people involved in this matter, the more people would be killed. This was something he didn't want to see.

"Almost forgot about you, my dearest little brother. I used to love you the most and I thought you were the Angel most like me. But now it seems that you really disappointed me. You didn't even tell Lord Beerus the news!" Merno looked at Whis disappointedly.

When the 13th Universe still existed, he had the best relationship with Whis. This kid was like his own follower, often coming to him. At that time, he also felt that Whis was very similar to himself, kind and caring. But now, it seemed that the two of them were completely different. As time went by, Whis became more and more like that old stubborn Grand Priest.

"No matter what you say, I will stop you. I'm doing this to save you," Whis said very seriously. He didn't want him to be wiped out by Zeno the moment he met his good brother. And Beerus and the others? Even if they rescued Goten, so what? In the end, they could not escape the fate of being erased. If they didn't do anything now, maybe Goten could still be saved.

"Stop being hypocritical here! Now you are exactly the same as that old man. Every day, you just keep justifying the decisions of that little kid and cater to his every whim. If you want to report, I'm afraid you won't have that chance." After Merno's voice fell, he made a portal at will and Whis's body was directly absorbed into it.

"Whis, you just stay in the gap between the dimensions, and after the matter is over, you will be able to come out naturally!" Merno said, glancing at the place where Whis had just disappeared. Then he turned to Beerus. "I'll take care of all your injuries next, and you'll go to rescue Goten with me. However, not many people can go to that place. Lord Beerus, Supreme Kai, and I will go!"

Merno glanced at Goku and Vegeta. Although they could be regarded as the top existence among mortals, if they reached the Void Realm, they wouldn't be able to help. They might even become a burden!

"Damn! It seems that I can only trust you!" Beerus gritted his teeth. They had no other choice now. After treating Beerus's injuries, Merno instantly summoned a portal. Then the bodies of the three disappeared from the God of Destruction Realm.

[T/N: Don't blame Whis, he's being realistic. He knows that Goten would be dealt with leniently by Zeno. But if these guys participate, the matter would blow over and Zeno might have to make an example. It's like, difference between public hearing and private hearing. The latter is less likely to result in harsh punishments. While the former can result in harsher punishment to retain dignity and maintain image.]
