Rumsshi's Threat

Thump… thump… thump…

Goten's body staggered back six or seven steps, while Rumsshi was sent flying tens of meters backward.

Rustle…

Upon transforming into the Legendary Super Saiyan II form, a terrifying vibrant-green ki aura surged wildly around Goten's body, accompanied by powerful golden lightning.

Goten fixed his long, narrow eyes on Rumsshi.

"What? This… how is this possible? Rumsshi-sama!!"

Goten's counterattack not only repelled Rumsshi but also left Angel Cus in disbelief. Rumsshi, the Hakaishin of the Tenth Universe, had been sent flying by a mere mortal from the Seventh Universe.

Regardless of whether Rumsshi had used his full strength, even 10% of his power should have been insurmountable for a mortal. Yet, Goten had not only withstood it but also sent Rumsshi flying backward. No mortal in the Tenth Universe could have accomplished this feat.

Yet, a mortal from the Seventh Universe had done it with ease.

"This!! Is this really a mortal from the Seventh Universe? He actually possesses power on par with a Hakaishin! It's unbelievable…" Gowasu was also left dumbfounded.

In their minds, a Hakaishin was the supreme existence, incomparable to any mortal. Yet, a mortal from the Seventh Universe had just sent Rumsshi flying backward.

More importantly, Rumsshi's roar seemed to have no deterrent effect on Goten.

This was outrageous. This was definitely something Gowasu had never encountered in his tenure as a Kaiōshin.

"Hmph!"

"I don't care if you are a Hakaishin or what. Don't think of me as an easy target. The only one who will suffer will be you."

After sending Rumsshi flying with a punch, Goten spoke lightly. His eyes were as cold as ice. In his eyes, the current level of Hakaishin was no longer omnipotent and invincible.

Except for Beerus, he feared no other Hakaishin.

Since he had mastered the power of destruction, even in a real battle with the Hakaishin, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.

"No… impossible!!"

"It's just a mere mortal from the Seventh Universe. How could he possibly possess such a powerful force?"

"And it does not seem that he was taught by Beerus or Angel Whis. Are you kidding me? When did such a powerful mortal appear in the Seventh Universe?"

Rumsshi was also left completely dumbfounded!

Originally, he thought he could kill that mortal with one blow. After all, he had used 70% of his strength for that punch. But he hadn't expected this outcome!

In other words, even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to kill that mortal.

This was simply outrageous.

Not to mention the people from the Tenth Universe, even Beerus himself wore an incredulous look on his face! His gaze was fixed on Goten.

'Are you kidding me? After just over a month of training, his strength has actually improved to this level! Although Rumsshi is not the most powerful Hakaishin, it is too exaggerated to be able to knock him back with one punch.' Beerus thought secretly in surprise.

When he fought Goten a month ago, this guy definitely wasn't this strong!

After only training with Whis for a month, he had strength comparable to Rumsshi. Even in terms of strength alone, it was very likely that he had surpassed Rumsshi.

It seemed that this kid was not only a genius but also a monster. If it was an ordinary mortal, how could they possibly have such a terrifying training speed?

But soon, Beerus set his sights on Rumsshi.

Then he said proudly: "Heh!! Rumsshi, you actually used such a dirty sneak attack method to attack my apprentice!"

"What's more, you were knocked back by a single punch. You're really useless."

Naturally, he would not waste this opportunity to humiliate Rumsshi.

Rumsshi gritted his teeth angrily but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. Because what he did just now was indeed a bit despicable.

First, he briefly incapacitated Beerus with his roar. Then he tried to kill a mortal by means of a sneak attack.

But unexpectedly, this happened. He tried to gain an advantage only to end up worse off.

"Shut up, you stinky cat. So what if I'm despicable! You killed the trainee Kaiōshin of my Universe, aren't you despicable too?!"

"No matter what, I won't let you leave this place easily."

Haa!

Rumsshi's face was full of anger. After an angry roar, he charged directly at Beerus again.

If he let Beerus leave the Tenth Universe like this today, how would he face other Gods in the future?

If the Hakaishin of other universes knew about this matter, they would definitely laugh at it!

"Heh! Really?" Beerus retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You can't even defeat a mere apprentice of mine, yet you aspire to challenge me? It appears I need to give you a reality check."

Beerus clenched his fists and stretched his neck, his tone dismissive. Even if two or three Hakaishin were to team up, he wouldn't bat an eye, let alone a single Rumsshi.

In an instant, the two figures flashed, ready to clash. However, just as their fists were about to collide, Whis and Cus appeared between them. With a single finger, they effortlessly blocked the impending clash.

"Beerus-sama, have you forgotten the prohibition against fighting among the Hakaishin?" Whis reminded him lightly.

"Rumsshi-sama, your actions could lead to the collapse of our universe," Cus warned. "When that happens, Zeno-sama and Dai-Shinkan-sama will hold you accountable, and no one will be able to escape their wrath."

The previous confrontations had no impact on the universe. However, a death match between the Hakaishin from two universes would gradually lead to the universe's collapse. Therefore, such battles were expressly forbidden by Zeno and the Grand Priest.

'Damn it!! Do I really have to let this shameless guy go?!' Rumsshi gritted his teeth, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly. It was Beerus who had provoked him first, yet he was unable to punish him!

"Beerus, don't get too carried away!" Rumsshi warned. "I will definitely report this matter to Zeno-sama, and we'll see if you can still escape punishment then!"

Now that the two Angels had intervened, it was clear that the fight could not continue. However, Beerus had killed an apprentice Kaiōshin from the tenth universe. Rumsshi was determined not to let this matter slide. He would report it to Zeno and ensure that this arrogant Beerus was punished.

"Really?" Beerus retorted, unfazed. "That will just let Zeno-sama know what your apprentice Kaiōshin has done in the other timelines."

After all, it was Zamasu who had made the mistake first. A mere apprentice Kaiōshin had dared to overstep his bounds and interfere with the duties of a Hakaishin! Moreover, he had killed all the Kaiōshin and Hakaishin in the twelve universes. Once Zeno found out about this, it was highly likely that the Tenth Universe would disappear completely.

Among the laws of the gods, Zeno had clearly stated that no mortal or low-level god could destroy a high-level god. Even if it was accidental or a fluke, as long as the high-level gods were eliminated, they would either be wiped out on the spot or be completely sealed away.

Upon hearing Beerus' words, Rumsshi's expression darkened. If what Beerus said was true, then Zamasu was doomed! And if Zeno found out about this matter, his own fate would not be very good either. He couldn't understand what Gowasu was thinking when he decided to train such a person!

"Whis, let's go!" Seeing Rumsshi's gloomy face, Beerus said directly to Whis. He knew that today's fight would definitely not have any closure.

"Yes, Beerus-sama," Whis nodded. To him, if they stayed in the tenth universe, it was likely that the two of them would end up fighting again.

"Hey! You, mortal. What you did just now has humiliated a Hakaishin, so be on guard at all times. Because I will not let this go…" Rumsshi stared at Goten and said.

If he couldn't deal with Beerus himself, couldn't he just deal with a mortal from the seventh universe?

Although this guy had great power and even at full power, he might not be able to defeat him, the reason why Hakaishin were Hakaishin was because they had mastered the laws of a universe.

This power could kill any creature in the universe. And killing a mortal, Zeno and the others would simply ignore it.

"Huh! Threatening me?" Goten raised the corner of his mouth and said with a cold snort. "Sorry, your threat doesn't affect me. And I don't think you have the ability and qualifications to threaten me."

If he hadn't fought with Beerus before, he would have been more afraid of the Hakaishin's Destruction skill.

But now he also possessed Destruction skill and under such circumstances, the Hakaishin's Destruction skill had no effect on him. Even if Rumsshi personally went to the seventh universe to kill him, the chance of success was only 10%.

He might even be killed by Goten himself! Because he would continue to grow stronger.

"Really?" Rumsshi could only grit his teeth and say. "Then just wait!"

This audacious mortal from the Seventh Universe was proving to be more of a nuisance than that insufferable Beerus! His fearlessness was intolerable! He had to be dealt with, no matter what!

"Heh! You have some nerve to threaten him. If any harm befalls Goten, I will have you pay a price beyond your comprehension!"

Upon hearing Rumsshi's threat, Beerus' eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them as he retorted. With Whis leading the way, the trio then departed from the Tenth Universe.

Rumsshi, on the other hand, was trembling with rage. Humiliated in his own universe by that detestable Beerus! This was an affront he could not let slide. If he did, his position as a Hakaishin would be a mockery.

After a harsh reprimand to Gowasu, he was finally able to vent his anger. Once his fury had subsided, he had no choice but to retreat to his realm. There, he would contemplate his next move against that Beerus and that infuriating mortal.

...

More than two hours later, Goten and Beerus had returned to the Seventh Universe.

"Beerus-sama, you've managed to royally offend Rumsshi-sama this time. It seems unlikely that he will let this go easily," Whis commented lightly as they flew.

Rumsshi was a Hakaishin known for his pettiness. Having suffered such humiliation today, he would undoubtedly seek revenge.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm worried about him?"

"Even if there were three more like him, it wouldn't be enough for me to break a sweat," Beerus retorted arrogantly, a look of disdain on his face.

It was a fact. The gap in strength between Rumsshi and Beerus was significant.

"Of course, Beerus-sama, I know you're not concerned."

"But Rumsshi-sama did mention that he would seek revenge on Goten. That's no laughing matter," Whis continued.

Goten was indeed powerful, but against the full might of a Hakaishin, he would still be outmatched.

"Tch! Then keep a close eye on that guy. The moment he enters our Seventh Universe, notify me immediately," Beerus instructed Whis, a scowl on his face.

Goten was the mortal he admired the most, and he saw great potential in him as a future adversary. He would not allow Rumsshi to harm Goten!

"Yes, Beerus-sama," Whis responded with a nod.

As for Goten, he didn't take Rumsshi seriously. Whether or not Rumsshi dared to cause trouble in the Seventh Universe was irrelevant. Even if he did, he lacked the power to kill him.

"So… shall we return to the God Realm, or head to Earth?" Whis asked next. He hadn't visited Earth in several days, and it was time to restock his supplies.

"Let's head to Earth!"

"I want to see that guy who's been recklessly traveling through time. And while we're at it, Goten can fulfill his earlier promise," Beerus replied nonchalantly.

In truth, he no longer cared about the issue of time travel. As long as Zeno and the others didn't find out, there wouldn't be a problem. His main reason for visiting Earth was, of course, to sample some gourmet food, a treat that Goten had promised him earlier.

"Very well," Whis agreed, nodding happily.

After another half an hour, the four of them arrived on Earth and headed straight for Capsule Corp.

Trunks was training in the front yard. Bulma had made some modifications so that during general training, the energy waves wouldn't spread out at all. This ensured that it wouldn't disturb the city's inhabitants or damage any buildings.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Goten and the others appeared. Trunks quickly halted his training.

"Goten, Krillin!"

"And who might these two be?" Trunks greeted Goten and Krillin with a smile, then turned his attention to Beerus and Whis, looking somewhat puzzled.

Judging by their attire, they clearly weren't Earthlings. And he couldn't sense any ki emanating from them at all.

"Let me introduce you, Trunks."

"This is the Hakaishin, Beerus-sama, and this is Angel Whis, who can be considered our mentor," Goten introduced them promptly.

"By the way, the reason you're able to stay in this timeline is mainly due to Beerus-sama's leniency!" Goten added, hinting that Trunks should express his gratitude to Beerus and perhaps flatter him a bit.

After all, Beerus was a sucker for respect and fear. And Trunks was just the type to show such deference.
