LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 162: Visiting Supreme Kai
The next morning, Goten woke up early.
Vados had spent the entire night watching the stars.
"Goten-sama is indeed full of energy and stamina. Last night, he worked hard all night," Vados said with a hint of grievance.
"Is that really something you should be paying attention to?" Goten replied, rolling his eyes at her.
After a quick shower, it was time for breakfast. Vados joined him, her usual playful demeanor intact. However, after breakfast, her mood became more serious. She refrained from teasing Goten about the events of the previous night and shifted her focus to a more pressing matter.
"Lord Goten, I spent last night trying to sense the divine ki of other Gods, but in this universe, I couldn't detect any aura apart from Supreme Kai's!" Vados explained gravely. "I couldn't even feel the presence of Lord Beerus or Whis. It seems very likely that there are no other Gods in this dimension except for Supreme Kai and his counterparts."
Vados had spent the entire night concentrating on sensing the energy of other Gods. Logically, since they were now in Universe 7, she should have been able to detect Beerus and Whis. Yet, their presence was absent.
This raised an unsettling question—did Beerus and Whis not exist in this timeline? Could it be that even the Grand Priest and Zeno were nonexistent?
"Perhaps you're right," Goten said, nodding thoughtfully. "In this timeline, apart from Supreme Kai and the others, there really might be no other Gods."
His words carried a heavy implication. In the Dragon Ball GT timeline, the Gods mentioned in Dragon Ball Super—such as the Gods of Destruction, Angels, and Zeno—did not make an appearance. The only deities present were Kibito Kai and the Old Supreme Kai.
"How can this be?" Vados exclaimed, her disbelief evident. "How can a universe exist without Zeno and the other higher Gods?"
A balanced universe required the presence of high-level Gods. Supreme Kai handled creation, while the God of Destruction was responsible for maintaining balance by destroying what was no longer needed. Without a God of Destruction, the Supreme Kai would create endlessly, leading to an oversaturated universe. This imbalance would eventually trigger a catastrophic collapse.
"Since we don't know whether they exist or not, why not ask Supreme Kai directly?" Goten suggested. Without wasting any time, he placed a hand on Vados and performed Instant Transmission.
When they reappeared, they had arrived at the Sacred World of the Kai in Universe 7.
"Wha... what?!"
The moment Goten and Vados appeared, Kibito Kai and the Old Supreme Kai froze in shock. Their faces were filled with panic and disbelief.
Just the day before, they had sensed two overwhelmingly powerful divine energies descending upon Earth. Using their crystal ball, they had observed Goten and Vados from afar. The sheer strength of the two deities had left them trembling.
And now, to their horror, these two immensely powerful beings had appeared right before them.
"Please... forgive us! May I ask what brings you to the Sacred World of the Kai?" Kibito Kai stammered, his voice unsteady with fear.
Unlike Goku and Vegeta, who had become familiar and approachable despite their strength, these two divine figures radiated an aura of authority and power that Kibito Kai and the Old Supreme Kai had never encountered before. The two of them were on high alert.
"Supreme Kai, there's no need to be afraid," Goten said with a calm smile. "We've come here not to harm you, but to ask a few questions."
After all, Goten held no hostility toward them. While they were not the same Supreme Kai he had worked with in his original timeline, he still felt a sense of respect for their roles as protectors of the universe.
"You know we're Supreme Kai?" the Old Supreme Kai asked cautiously, his expression still tense.
Kibito Kai, gathering his courage, added, "Please, feel free to ask us anything. If it's within our knowledge, we'll tell you everything we know."
The fear in their voices was apparent, but their willingness to cooperate was genuine.
"It's very simple," Goten said. "I want to know if there are any other Gods in this universe apart from you two. For example, are there Gods of Destruction, Zeno, or the Grand Priest?"
At the mention of these names, both Kibito Kai and the Old Supreme Kai froze, exchanging confused glances. After a moment, they shook their heads in unison.
Kibito Kai answered first. "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of the Gods you've mentioned. As far as I know, our Supreme Kai is the most powerful deity in this universe."
Goten then turned to the Old Supreme Kai. "What about you? You've lived for tens of millions of years. Surely, you've heard of these names?"
The Old Supreme Kai hesitated but eventually shook his head. "I'm afraid not. The names you mentioned—Zeno, the Grand Priest, and the God of Destruction—are completely unfamiliar to me. Until now, we've always been the highest-ranking Gods in this universe. However, I must admit, our strength is not particularly impressive."
His response confirmed their suspicions—these higher-tier Gods did not exist in this timeline.
"If that's the case," Goten asked, narrowing his eyes in thought, "then who sealed you inside the Z Sword?"
This question caught the Old Supreme Kai off guard. In Dragon Ball Super, it had been Beerus who sealed the Old Supreme Kai within the Z Sword, fearing his meddling. But if the God of Destruction didn't exist in this timeline, then who had sealed him away?
