The temptation of delicious cuisine proved irresistible—even Gods of Destruction weren't immune. Lured by culinary delights, the foodie Beerus urgently demanded to visit Earth.
Whis led both Beerus and Raditz to the planet, where Raditz arranged a grand banquet featuring a long table laden with delicacies from across the world. Except for the Saiyans training on New Vegeta, everyone came to meet the legendary God of Destruction. All felt privileged to encounter such a high-ranking deity in their lifetime.
By comparison, the Supreme Kai seemed to lack such commanding presence, becoming merely dinner conversation afterward.
Beerus savored numerous delicious dishes and found himself in excellent spirits. He shed his previous gloom and even played games with everyone.
But Raditz remained wary of excessive frivolity. After all, Beerus's temper was notoriously volatile—if angered, nothing could stop his wrath. Rukon had grown more sensible with age; otherwise, he might have tugged Beerus's ears while calling him a "big cat." Seeing Raditz's nervousness, Zangya couldn't help embracing his arm reassuringly.
Fortunately, the atmosphere remained harmonious throughout, with no incidents. Bulma specially prepared additional food for Whis to take back to the God of Destruction realm, and Raditz departed after brief reminiscing.
Following this introduction, Beerus missed Earth's cuisine regularly, causing Raditz to visit home more frequently.
More than half a year passed quietly...
Life in the God of Destruction realm became far more interesting with Raditz's presence, enriching Beerus's leisure time considerably. During this period, he learned more about Saiyans and Raditz from Whis, marveling at how the entire Saiyan race had transformed.
After extensive training, Raditz had reached a bottleneck and decided to return to Earth for a brief respite.
Of course, another important reason motivated him—Majin Buu's appearance was imminent!
The Supreme Kai had been searching for Majin Buu's whereabouts. Based on his calculations, discoveries would come in the near future. Majin Buu represented the Supreme Kai's greatest fear, haunting his thoughts for tens of thousands of years.
While the Supreme Kai considered Majin Buu terrifying, Raditz now completely dismissed the threat. Not only himself, but Goku, Gohan, Broly, Super Android 17, and others could defeat the ancient demon. After Piccolo's fusion with Slug's power and his completion after fusing with the old Kami, he'd likely reached Super Saiyan 3 strength levels—not to mention numerous Saiyans who'd learned fusion techniques and might achieve godhood.
"Babidi and his allies are in for quite a surprise," Raditz mused.
The era remained the same, but everyone's power had escalated dramatically.
Raditz had been back on Earth for over two weeks. Both Zangya and Rukon had missed him terribly—the family reunited with affectionate embraces.
Rukon threw himself into Raditz's arms, calling "Daddy! Daddy!" repeatedly.
Android 16 was doing housework while Android 18 watched television. Broly stood quietly in the garden as usual—his daily habit of remaining motionless for hours.
"You've worked hard, Sixteen."
"This is my responsibility," Android 16 replied gently, continuing his tasks.
Android 18 stroked her blonde hair habitually before looking up at Raditz. "You're back."
"Yeah, training finally ended temporarily. You should get out more—staying home constantly isn't healthy."
"We go out often!" Zangya said with a smile. "We even train together."
They made perfect sparring partners, practicing together while entertaining themselves and playing with Rukon during peaceful, fulfilling days.
"Come on, Zangya! The plot's taking a dramatic turn—don't miss it!" Android 18 called out, waving with one hand supporting her chin.
What? Were they watching soap operas? Raditz hadn't expected their interest in television dramas. Glancing quickly, he realized they were watching an action-romance series starring Yamcha! Apparently, his former rival was thriving in show business.
"I just returned—won't you spend time with me?" Raditz took Zangya's hand.
"You're not leaving anytime soon, and we'll..." Zangya chuckled mid-sentence before running to Android 18. Her fragrance lingered in the air, stirring Raditz's emotions.
Tonight would be quite memorable.
Raditz looked at Rukon. "Come on, son! Let's play together!"
Rukon loved playing with his father because Raditz always introduced new games, keeping things fresh and exciting. Father and son laughed and bonded while Broly eventually joined them.
They spent a peaceful day at home. That night brought passionate intimacy that made Android 18 blush in the adjacent room until dawn.
Early the next morning, Raditz decided to visit the Saiyan Homeworld. Recently, Vegeta and the others had been traveling frequently to the Saiyan homeworld, constantly researching Super Saiyan God transformation. He wondered what progress they'd made.
Raditz used instant transmission, arriving at the training grounds in moments.
It was a brilliant morning on the Saiyan homeworld—sunlight was minimal but warmth abundant. White clouds drifted slowly as several emerald birds flew gracefully, their calls mixing with wind-chime melodies. Celestial light painted the earth in splendid harmony.
Distant mountain outlines appeared faintly, their bold contours displaying rugged character. Meanwhile, nearby lake waters surged skyward like angry dragons while grass scattered like rainfall.
Raditz observed everyone training intensively, their tremendous energy causing natural phenomena. Fortunately, the Saiyan homeworld was many times more durable than Earth—otherwise, it couldn't withstand such large-scale combat.
"It can't be..." Raditz's eyes widened in amazement.
Beyond Goku, Vegeta, and the others, additional Saiyans were wreathed in sacred flames, their crimson hair flowing freely. Though obvious strength gaps existed, they'd all achieved godhood!
Twenty Super Saiyan Gods! Such power would be considered terrifying in any universe. In weaker cosmic realms, any single member could rank as the strongest being below the God of Destruction level.
This was the formation of a genuine Super Saiyan God squad.
"Master!" Finally, someone noticed Raditz's arrival during the fierce battles.
That single call made everyone pause, turning to regard Raditz with surprised expressions.
"Raditz, weren't you training in the God of Destruction realm?" Vegeta landed before him.
"Training has reached a temporary conclusion—I'm taking a break, so I stopped by to observe."
"Hmph, already resting? Don't get overconfident—we'll master independent transformation too!"
"Then I look forward to it." Raditz sincerely hoped for their continued improvement. This would undoubtedly increase the Seventh Universe's combat strength. Naturally, the more powerful they became, the better.
Goku also approached Raditz, his pure eyes revealing joy as he asked about his brother's training progress.
