Traveling the universe, Heles was thoughtful.

" We have a big problem! Our universe has mighty warriors! However, they are mostly creatures or plants! It is impossible for us to make warriors capable of performing strategies to win this tournament. "

" Some planets have overpowered warriors. " Pell assured. " We just have to find those who can help us win. "

Silent, meanwhile, Sour only traveled through space, until Heles gave him an order. Finally, Heles looked up while staring at a planet that was close to them.

" A problem ? " Pell asked him.

" Sour, stop. "

The trio halted immediately, as Heles stared at the planet. Eventually, Pell picked up some very powerful energy forms.

" It has been a long time since I felt such a powerful energy emanating from mortals in our universe. "

" It's a miracle. " Heles announced.

" LEG 50 HIT FORK ! "

Getting hit by Toriko's attack, a huge two-headed serpent finally utters a cry of agony before collapsing.

" Finally. " Toriko rejoices.

Being with him, Komatsu ends up grabbing a notepad before writing it down.

" Snakavor! Perfect ! We all have what we need! We can return to Earth. "

Looking at all the animals they had just killed, Zebra began to salivate.

" Why wait ? I'm sure they'll be delicious on the barbecue. "

" Zebra-san, we have to wait. " Komatsu insisted. " We promised to bring this back and cook it to perfection. "

" Komatsu is right. " Coco assured.

" Our meal will only be more beautiful. " Finished Sunny, starting to lift the dead animals with her hair.

Beginning to walk towards their spaceship, the group of five suddenly stopped, not hearing a sound of teleportation behind them.

" Hum? " They said, turning around.

" Hello, gentlemen. " Cried Pell, greeting them. " Sorry to bother you, but we wanted to talk to you. "

" What ? " The little group wondered. " Who are you ? "

" Let me introduce ourselves. " Cried Heles. " My name is Heles, goddess of destruction of universe 2! Meet Pell, the kaio-shin of universe 2! And Sour, my advisor and instructor. "

" Goddess ? "

" Kaio-shin? "

" Universe 2? "

Looking at each other then, the group of food lovers showed some inconsistency. Finally, Sunny started to scream.

" UNBELIEVABLE ! "

Admiring Heles, he cried.

" Beauty in all its splendor! A face bringing together youth and eternal beauty in perfect harmony. "

" Hum? " Heles wondered. " I only appreciate beautiful things! It is therefore normal that I am the most beautiful. "

" I took it, marry me. "

" Out of the question ! Your beauty is only three out of 10! you don't interest me. "

Immediately Sunny fell to her knees, heartbroken.

" 3 out of 10? "

" HM hm ! " Pell said, coughing. " Getting back to business, we need your strength for a job! Of course, if you accept, we promise you a reward that meets your expectations! All you have to do is enter a tournament. "

" A tournament ? " Zebra asked. " A tournament where I would have the right to strike with all my strength? "

" What is this tournament story ? " Wanted to know Komatsu.

" Before that, I would like to know who you are. " Affirmed Coco. " I understand the term god! But what is a Kaio-shin? And what do you call "Universe 2"? "

Preparing to answer him, Pell was interrupted by Toriko, who exclaimed.

" Could we talk about this on our planet ? "

" Hum ? "

" We must cook our meat as quickly as possible! Otherwise it will lose its flavor! Our trip back to Earth took three days! We have to get home quickly. "

Surprised, Heles and Pell looked at each other. Then, finally, Heles turned to Sour.

" Can you find their planet? "

" No problem. " Assured the angel. " I have the map of the universe engraved in his head. "

Then he tapped his staff on the ground and the group disappeared.

Eating a piece of meat, Toriko repeated.

" In short, Zeno, the god of gods organized a tournament involving eight universes! And you want us on your team, right? "

" Absolutely. " Heles nodded, surprised he was so calm.

" The destruction of our universe ? " Sunny repeated, while eating too. " This god doesn't do things by halves. "

" We have to assemble a team of ten people? " Coco wondered. " Huuuuuum, our planet has a lot of good fighters but… if I am to believe your words, even we are no match for this Goku from universe 7 or Toppo from universe 11. "

" I will not lose against anyone. " Zebra retorted.

" How can you be so calm? " Komatsu wanted, as he sat at the table. " We are talking about the destruction of our universe. "

" So what ? " Wanted to know Toriko. " Why have to panic? We just have to win and we'll be saved ! "

'' But ... would you like to say that the other universes will be destroyed. "

" Nothing can be done about it! Right now we need to focus on protecting our universe and the life in it! However,… "

Resuming his seriousness, he asserted.

" Coco is right! Who could be part of the team ? "

Raising four fingers, he noticed.

" Me, Sunny, Coco and Zebra! That makes four! Next, Starjun! He is strong and intelligent. "

" AHHHHH! " Cried Komatsu. " If only Midoriya or Jhiro were still alive. "

'' Were they mighty warriors? " Wanted to know Pell.

" Yes ! The most powerful there are. "

" In this case, we can resuscitate them. "

Rising out of luck, Toriko and the others cried out.

" Can you do that ? "

" Yes, Sour can do it. "

" With Midora and Jhiro, we would be seven. " Sunny remarked.

" And with old Ichiryu, that makes eight. " Coco added. " Who else can be on the team? "

Reflecting, Toriko finally said.

" Acacia and Joa! "

" What? " The others were surprised.

" Acacia is surely the most powerful fighter who has lived on this planet! Okay, he was monstrous when we fought him! But now that Neo is no longer in his body, I am convinced that he will be fit to fight alongside us! We can give it a chance. "

" Perhaps, but Joa is a really mean person. "

" Don't worry about that, if this Joa wanted to destroy you, we would be there to prevent him. " Heles assured.

" In this case, we have the team. " Cried Toriko. " Five alive and five dead! Komatsu, the rest of the meal. "

" Y - Yes. "

Seeing the little boy leave, while the others finished their meal, Heles wanted to know.

" Who are you in fact? "

" Hum? We are food hunters! We travel across the planets to hunt down any unknown food! We want to taste all the foods in this universe. "

" Oh ? "

At that moment, dozens of cooks arrived with several dishes.

" This is the main course, the snakavor. "

" Great. " Toriko rejoices, while seeing the snake's grilled head and the rest of the body perfectly well cooked.

" What is this horror? " Heles wanted to know, seeing the horrible double-head of the giant serpent.

" Hum? It is delicious. "

" You avenge something so ugly. "

" It is not because something is ugly that it is disgusting. " Toriko retorted. " Anyway, I have a rule: I eat any being whose life I take! I don't like to kill for nothing. "

Listening to him, Pell smirked somewhat as he affirmed.

" That is admirable behavior! Okay, if it's that delicious, I want to taste your snake. "

Thus taking a piece of meat, he began to eat it. Then, in an instant, he let go of his fork, while he couldn't help but cry.

" What … ? What is this exquisite tip? It's so good I can't help but cry. "

" The snakavor is one of the most delicious reptiles known. " Komatsu told him.

" Is it that good? " Wanted to know Heles.

Tasting the meat in turn, Sour couldn't help but smile a little, showing that he appreciated the taste.

Placing a plate in front of Heles, Toriko immediately assured him, with a broad smile.

" Taste! For me, the most beautiful thing in this universe is the joy of eating something delicious. "

Viewing the meat with a little disgust, however, Heles finally complied. Then, putting a piece in her mouth, she ends up having an identical reaction to Pell's.

" So good. "

" I told you. " Toriko assured, smiling at him. " Food is like a person! What matters is not the exterior beauty but the interior beauty. "

Staring at the man with the blue hair, Heles finally confesses to him.

" You are very strange. "

Continuing to smile at him, Toriko just answered.

" You should never judge someone by their beauty! Sunny has already been fooled many times by behaving like this. "

" Shut up ! "

" I would rather have a person ugly on the outside but nice on the inside, than beautiful on the outside and horrible on the inside. "

" Are you telling me I'm horrible on the inside ? "

" Of course not. " Toriko assured, with a big smile! You seem to take care of the life of this universe, despite being a Goddess of Destruction. " You look pretty cool to me. "

Suddenly, Sunny almost bit her tongue when she saw Heles blush slightly at Toriko's smile.

" Toriko, if you cheat on my sister, you're a dead man. "

" What ? "

Being faced with a huge monster, Starjun drew out his sword, while declaring.

" I am going to take your precious liver! It seems that this is the best part of your anatomy. "

Growling, the monster was about to attack him. Yet a purple sphere touched him, disintegrating him.

" What ? "

" Yo, Strajun. " Cried Toriko. " Are you bothering? "

" This monster was really ugly. " Heles asserted.

" Toriko? " Starjun wondered when he saw him with Coco, Zebra and Sunny. " What are you doing here ? "

" Do you want to participate in a tournament ? "

" What ? "

Finding himself in the divine dimension, Toriko and the four other fighters tried to fight the gravity which assaulted them.

" What is this world? I feel like I weigh tons. "

" A year here corresponds to a day out? " Sunny wondered. " Oh no, the first time my fans see me, I will surely have wrinkles. "

" Why do I have to wait ten years to fight. " Wanted to know Zebra, angry for waiting so long.

Remaining as for him, to concentrate, Coco suddenly ends up getting up without problem.

" What ? How do you manage to move? "

" You have to convert your energy and keep it in this form! For that, you have to concentrate. "

" I don't like to concentrate. " Zebra roared, preferring to continue fighting gravity.

Suddenly Heles, Sour and Pell arrived, along with a few people. Turning around, Toriko couldn't help but be in joy when he recognized Ichiryu and Jhirô.

" Old men. "

" Midora-sama. " Starjun recognized him.

" Yo. " Said Ichiryu and Jhirô.

For her part, Midora remained silent. To be honest, compared to the other two, he did not participate in power to save his universe but to have the opportunity to have the dragon balls. Behind him, Acacia, in her human form, didn't know how to react as he remembered her behavior perfectly before he died. Finally, Joa had already moved away from the others and stared at Toiko and the others with hatred. Initially, he did not want to participate in this tournament. However, in the face of Heles' overwhelming power, he finally gave in. Now he is forced to fight alongside his worst enemies.
