In the opulent halls of the royal palace, Louise nervously adjusted her academy uniform as she walked alongside Beerus. The weight of the meeting with Princess Henrietta weighed heavily on her. The palace, with its grandiose architecture and lavish decor, was a stark contrast to the chaotic scenes they had recently faced.
"Please, Beerus, try to be on your best behavior," Louise implored, casting a wary glance at her powerful and unpredictable familiar. "We're here to meet Princess Henrietta, and it's crucial that we make a good impression."
Beerus, strolling with his usual air of indifference, let out a small chuckle. "You know, Louise, it's amusing. On other worlds, the inhabitants usually try not to cause a scene with me, for fear of having their world destroyed. It's quite the reversal you're asking for."
Louise sighed, the stress evident in her expression. "That's exactly what I'm worried about. Just... please, no threats of destruction or anything of the sort."
As they approached the throne room, the grand doors opened, revealing the majestic interior. Princess Henrietta sat on her throne, her posture radiating grace and authority. She rose as they entered, a warm smile gracing her features.
"Louise, I'm so relieved to see you safe," Henrietta began, her voice filled with genuine concern. "And I must express my deepest gratitude to you and your... familiar, for your brave actions in stopping Fouquet and recovering the artifact."
Louise bowed respectfully, a flush of pride warming her cheeks at the princess's praise. However, her thoughts drifted back to the encounter with Fouquet, recalling how Beerus had merely observed, leaving the brunt of the battle to her, Kirche, and Tabitha.
Beerus, meanwhile, seemed only mildly interested in the proceedings. His thoughts were elsewhere, primarily on when he might get his next meal. Yet, beneath his disinterested facade, there was something that piqued his curiosity.
Firstly, there were the "Namekian wish orbs," the Dragon Ball they had recovered. Its presence in this world was a puzzle he found intriguing. But more importantly, his thoughts lingered on Louise. During the skirmish with Fouquet, he had noticed something peculiar about her magic. To everyone else, it had seemed like a mere failure, an explosion of smoke in her face. However, Beerus had sensed something else—a fleeting, massive power hidden within her, a power that vanished as quickly as it had appeared, seemingly unnoticed by Louise herself.
This anomaly had not escaped Beerus's keen perception. He wondered if there was more to Louise than met the eye. Could she indeed be the fated arch-rival from his premonition?
As these thoughts swirled in Beerus's mind, Henrietta continued to speak. "Your bravery and dedication to protecting our academy and kingdom are commendable. As a token of my appreciation, a feast will be held in your honor."
Beerus's ears perked up at the mention of a feast. "Now that's more like it," he murmured under his breath, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
Louise, meanwhile, felt a mix of pride and relief at Henrietta's words. The recognition of their efforts brought a sense of closure to the harrowing events they had endured. Yet, as she stood there in the throne room, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there were still unanswered questions, secrets lying just beneath the surface.
The grand banquet hall of the royal palace was a spectacle of culinary magnificence. Tables laden with an array of exquisite dishes from all corners of the kingdom stretched as far as the eye could see. Beerus, seated beside Louise, was in a state of blissful indulgence, savoring each dish with a gusto that was both impressive and slightly alarming.
Louise, on the other hand, ate her meal with more restraint, though she couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the sheer quantity of food Beerus was consuming. Every now and then, she cast sidelong glances at him, her expression a mix of bewilderment and amusement.
As they were dining, Princess Henrietta approached their table, her presence commanding yet graceful. Louise immediately straightened up, a respectful demeanor taking over.
"Princess Henrietta," Louise greeted, bowing her head slightly.
Henrietta smiled warmly at Louise, then turned her gaze to Beerus, who was in the midst of devouring a particularly succulent roast. "I see you're enjoying the feast, Beerus."
Beerus, without pausing his culinary endeavor, replied nonchalantly, "Oh, absolutely. Your world has some remarkable flavors."
Henrietta chuckled softly before her expression turned more serious. "Actually, Louise, Beerus, there was another reason I invited you to the capital, aside from expressing my gratitude."
Louise's curiosity piqued, and she leaned in attentively. Beerus, though still focused on his plate, seemed to lend half an ear to the conversation.
Henrietta continued, "There's a situation in a nearby town that has been troubling me. The noble in charge there has been abusing his power, exploiting the citizens. It's a delicate matter that needs to be handled with care."
Louise's expression turned solemn. "How can I assist, Your Highness?"
Henrietta's eyes held a hint of relief. "Given your recent achievements, I believe you're well-suited to help resolve this issue. I'd like you and your familiar, Beerus, to go to the town and address the situation."
Louise felt a surge of honor and responsibility. "Of course, Princess Henrietta. I'll do my best."
Beerus, having momentarily slowed his eating, interjected, "So, a mission to sort out a troublesome noble, huh? Sounds... mildly entertaining."
Henrietta gave a small, appreciative smile. "Thank you, both. I'm aware it's an unusual request, but I have faith in your abilities."
Louise nodded, determination lighting her eyes. "We won't let you down, Your Highness."
As Henrietta departed to attend to other guests, Louise turned to Beerus. "This is a great opportunity to help the people and demonstrate our abilities."
Beerus, his plate now finally empty, leaned back in his chair, a contemplative look on his face. Inwardly, he was curious about Louise's potential. This mission could be an opportunity to observe that power more closely, to see if she truly was the arch-rival from his premonition. He kept these thoughts to himself, however.
"Sure, I wouldn't mind going," Beerus said nonchalantly. "And who knows, maybe this town has some interesting food to offer as well."
Louise, though slightly exasperated by Beerus's fixation on food, couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement. This mission was not just a royal request but a chance to make a real difference, to stand up against injustice.
Afterward, as they left, the evening air was cool and crisp as Beerus and Louise stepped out of the royal castle, their minds still processing the gravity of the mission entrusted to them by Princess Henrietta. The grandeur of the castle faded behind them as they approached the carriage waiting to take them back to the academy.
Beerus, who had been unusually quiet since leaving the banquet, suddenly groaned. "I really don't fancy another long carriage ride back to the academy. It's tedious."
Louise, adjusting her cloak, looked at him with a hint of amusement. "It's only a few hours, Beerus. You seemed fine with it when we came here."
Beerus scowled slightly. "That doesn't mean I liked it. I detest long trips. No, we're not doing that again."
Louise raised an eyebrow, curious about what Beerus had in mind. "What do you propose then? We can't just teleport there."
Beerus smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Who said anything about teleporting? We're taking the expressway."
Before Louise could inquire further, Beerus suddenly scooped her up in his arms. She barely had time to register a protest before Beerus launched into the air at a breathtaking, supersonic speed.
The world around Louise became a blur of colors and lights as they zipped through the air, the wind whipping her hair and cloak wildly. Her initial shock gave way to a mix of exhilaration and fear. She clung tightly to Beerus, her heart racing.
"Beerus! What are you doing? Put me down!" Louise shouted over the roaring wind, though a part of her couldn't deny the thrill of flying at such incredible speed.
Beerus, unfazed by her protests, seemed to relish the flight. "Relax, Louise! This is much faster than a carriage. You'll get used to it!"
The landscape below them shifted rapidly, the rolling hills and forests of Halkeginia passing by in a dizzying display. The sensation was unlike anything Louise had ever experienced; it was as if they were cutting through time itself.
As they neared the academy, the familiar towers and spires came into view, growing larger with every second. Beerus began to slow their flight, descending towards the academy grounds with surprising grace.
They landed softly near the entrance, Louise's feet touching the ground with a mixture of relief and disappointment. The world around her took a moment to stop spinning, the adrenaline of the flight still coursing through her veins.
Louise straightened up, fixing her disheveled appearance. "That was... unexpected," she admitted, a faint smile tugging at her lips despite her attempt to stay composed.
Beerus chuckled. "See? Much better than a carriage ride. You should thank me."
Louise rolled her eyes, though she couldn't deny the efficiency of their travel. "Just warn me next time, will you?"
The pair made their way into the academy, the quiet of the night enveloping them. The exhilarating journey from the castle had been a stark contrast to the solemn mission that lay ahead. Yet, it had also been a reminder of the extraordinary world Louise now found herself a part of, a world where flying at supersonic speeds was just another means of travel.
As they walked through the dimly lit corridors, the events of the evening replayed in Louise's mind. The mission to the town, the responsibility placed upon her shoulders, and the mysterious powers of her familiar, Beerus.
The first light of dawn was just beginning to filter through the small window of Louise's dorm room, casting a soft glow across the modest space. Louise, nestled uncomfortably in her makeshift bed of hay, stirred restlessly. Her sleep had been fitful at best, the discomfort of her bedding compounded by the mild resentment that Beerus had once again claimed her actual bed for himself.
As she lay there, half awake and contemplating the unfairness of her situation, a gentle but firm knock at the door jolted her fully awake. Who could it be at such an early hour? She wondered, her curiosity piqued.
Louise scrambled to her feet, brushing stray strands of hay from her hair. Beerus, meanwhile, remained soundly asleep in her bed, his deep, rhythmic breathing indicative of his peaceful slumber.
She approached the door and opened it, her eyes widening in surprise at the figure standing before her. It was a being unlike anyone she had ever seen – tall and slender, with an air of grace and a certain ethereal quality. His attire was elegant, his hair defied gravity, and his calm, piercing eyes seemed to hold galaxies within them.
"Good morning. I hope I'm not intruding too early," the being greeted with a polite bow. "I'm here to see Beerus."
Louise blinked, taken aback. "Um, who are you?"
Before she could receive an answer, a voice from behind her drew their attention. Beerus had awoken and was sitting up in bed, rubbing his eyes.
"Whis? What are you doing here?" Beerus asked, a hint of surprise in his tone.
Whis turned his gaze towards Beerus, a smile playing on his lips. "Good morning, Beerus. I thought I'd pay you a visit. I've been keeping an eye on your adventures here. Quite fascinating, I must say. And the culinary experiences you've been having – I couldn't resist coming to try them myself."
Louise looked from Whis to Beerus, a flurry of questions running through her mind. "You know each other?"
Beerus swung his legs off the bed and stood up, stretching lazily. "Yes, Whis here is my attendant, and a food enthusiast, apparently."
Whis chuckled softly. "I must admit, the prospect of new and delightful dishes was too tempting to ignore. But I'm also curious about your experiences in this world, Beerus. It seems you've been quite busy."
Louise, still processing the arrival of this mysterious and apparently important figure, offered a chair to Whis. "Please, come in."
Whis accepted the offer and gracefully took a seat, his movements fluid and composed. Louise, meanwhile, sat on the edge of her bed, next to Beerus.
"So, what brings you to our world, Whis?" Louise asked, her curiosity evident.
Whis glanced around the modest room, his eyes taking in every detail. "Aside from the culinary exploration, I'm interested in the developments here. The presence of the Namekian wish orbs, for instance, is quite intriguing. And, of course, to ensure Beerus doesn't cause too much trouble."
Beerus scoffed playfully. "I don't cause trouble. I am the trouble."
Louise couldn't help but smile at their banter, despite her initial reservations. Whis's presence brought a sense of calm and sophistication that was a stark contrast to the usual chaos that seemed to follow Beerus.
Afterward, the trio – Louise, Beerus, and Whis – exited Louise's dorm room, their presence together attracting curious glances and murmurs from students and faculty alike. The sight of the towering, elegant Whis accompanying the already notable pair of Beerus and Louise was a spectacle that drew attention throughout the academy corridors.
As they made their way to the dining hall, the buzz of whispers followed them. Students paused in their tracks, their eyes wide with wonder at the sight of Whis. His graceful stature and otherworldly aura were impossible to ignore.
Upon entering the dining hall, the reaction was immediate. Conversations halted mid-sentence, forks paused mid-air, and all eyes turned towards them. Whis, seemingly accustomed to such attention, walked with an air of serene confidence, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Beerus, on the other hand, seemed more focused on the prospect of breakfast. "You'll love the food here, Whis. It's different from what we're used to, but it's delightful."
Whis chuckled, his eyes scanning the array of dishes laid out. "I must say, Beerus, I'm almost jealous. You've been enjoying all these delicacies without me."
As they found a table and began to serve themselves, Whis leaned towards Beerus, his tone turning more serious. "However, Beerus, we mustn't forget your duties. Your prolonged absence has left Universe 7 without its God of Destruction. It's not ideal."
Beerus waved a hand dismissively, filling his plate with an assortment of breakfast items. "It'll be fine, Whis. Our universe can manage without me for a little while."
Undeterred, Whis probed further, "And what if the Grand Priest or Lord Zeno were to notice your absence? They might not take kindly to a God of Destruction vacationing in another universe."
Beerus, his plate now piled high, replied with a hint of stubbornness, "The next check-up by the Grand Priest isn't due for another 75 years. We have time."
Whis sighed, not entirely convinced but decided to let the matter rest for the moment. His gaze then shifted to Louise, who was quietly observing their exchange with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
"Beerus, your interest in this world... it's not just about the food, is it?" Whis whispered, leaning in closer. He subtly nodded towards Louise. "Her pink hair... Is she the legendary warrior you've been searching for? The one fated to be your arch-rival?"
Beerus shot Whis a sharp look, silencing him with a gesture. "Keep it down, Whis. We don't need to draw more attention to that."
Louise, who had been trying to follow their conversation, felt a growing sense of bewilderment. "What are you two talking about? Legendary warrior? Arch-rival?"
Beerus cleared his throat, turning his attention back to his breakfast. "Nothing important, Louise. Just some... god stuff. Eat up; we have a big day ahead."
The breakfast continued with Whis indulging in the various dishes, his expressions of delight and approval drawing curious glances from other diners. Louise ate her meal, her mind still trying to piece together the cryptic conversation between Beerus and Whis.
Meanwhile, Headmaster Osmond, having caught sight of the extraordinary assembly of Louise, Beerus, and the unfamiliar yet imposing Whis, felt a twinge of apprehension. The arrival of another otherworldly being at Tristain Academy was a development that could not be ignored. Yet, maintaining his composure, he approached the trio with a practiced air of calm.
"Good morning," Osmond greeted, his eyes briefly flicking to Whis. "I see we have a new guest at the academy."
Whis turned to face Osmond, offering a polite, almost regal, bow. "Good morning to you, Headmaster. I am Whis, an attendant of sorts. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Osmond, taken aback by Whis's politeness and refined demeanor, returned the bow. "The pleasure is mine, Whis. I must say, we are not accustomed to such... distinguished visitors here."
Louise, standing slightly behind, felt a flush of embarrassment. First Beerus, and now Whis – it seemed she had become a magnet for cosmic entities, a fact that made her both nervous and self-conscious.
As the pleasantries concluded, Louise turned to Beerus, a reminder in her voice. "Beerus, we have a task from Princess Henrietta. We need to head to the town and deal with the noble causing trouble."
Beerus, who had been casually observing the surroundings, gave Louise a nonchalant look. "That's your problem, Louise. Remember, I'm just here to observe. Don't expect me to get involved."
Louise pouted, her frustration evident. "But you're my familiar. You should help me."
Whis, intrigued by the dynamic between the two, chimed in with a chuckle. "Now, now, Beerus, don't be too harsh on the young mortal. Think of it as a little vacation, an adventure. It could be quite entertaining."
Beerus rolled his eyes but didn't protest further, a sign that he was at least partially resigned to accompanying them.
Whis, realizing he had overlooked a formality, turned to Louise with a curious expression. "Forgive me, I haven't asked for your name."
Louise straightened up, a hint of pride in her voice. "I'm Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, a student at the academy."
"Ah, Louise," Whis repeated, his tone warm. "A lovely name. Well, I look forward to accompanying you and Beerus on this little venture."
Headmaster Osmond, observing the exchange, felt a mix of relief and curiosity. The presence of beings like Beerus and Whis at the academy was both a blessing and a concern. Their power was undeniable, but so was their unpredictability.
As the group prepared to depart for the town, Osmond offered a few words of advice. "Be cautious, Louise. This noble you're tasked to confront may be more dangerous than he appears. And please," he added, glancing at Beerus and Whis, "try to keep any... disruptions to a minimum."
Louise nodded earnestly. "We will, Headmaster. Thank you."
Afterward, Louise, Beerus, and Whis made their way through the academy grounds. Louise unfolded a map, carefully examining the route to the town where they were tasked to resolve the noble's misconduct. The path laid out before them involved a carriage ride, something Louise was mentally preparing herself for.
However, Beerus, who had been trailing slightly behind while observing the academy's architecture with a detached curiosity, interjected with a note of disdain. "I'm not sitting through another long, boring carriage ride. We should fly there, like last time."
Louise promptly shot down the idea, her voice laced with a mix of fear and firmness. "Absolutely not! I'm still not over being whisked through the air at breakneck speed. We're taking the carriage."
Whis, who had been quietly listening, offered a solution with a twinkle in his eye. "If I may suggest a more convenient mode of transport?"
Louise looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Without further explanation, Whis tapped his staff gently on the ground. A glowing circle of intricate symbols and cosmic energy instantly enveloped them, creating a shimmering dome of light. Before Louise could react, the light shot upwards, transforming into a beam that streaked across the sky toward their destination.
The sensation was nothing like anything Louise had ever experienced. It was as if space and time were bending around them, the journey unfolding in a matter of moments. The world outside the beam was a blur of colors and shapes, melding together in a dizzying display.
As quickly as it had begun, the transport ended. The trio found themselves standing at the edge of the town, the beam of light fading away as if it had never been. The suddenness of the arrival left Louise feeling disoriented, a wave of what could only be described as magical motion sickness washing over her.
Louise staggered slightly, her hand pressed to her mouth. "That was... intense," she managed to say, trying to regain her composure.
Beerus looked around, visibly unbothered by the mode of transport. "Well, that was efficient. Nice trick, Whis."
Whis smiled, his staff still glowing faintly from the recent use. "It's a handy way to travel. Now, shall we proceed?"
Navigating the quaint streets of the town, Louise felt a sense of uncertainty creeping in. She glanced around, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling activity, yet her mind was preoccupied with their mission. "I don't even know where to start," she confessed, her voice tinged with frustration. "How do we even begin to uncover what the noble is doing?"
As they walked, the townspeople's reactions to Beerus and Whis were impossible to ignore. Stares and whispers followed them, the residents clearly taken aback by the presence of such unusual visitors.
Beerus, however, seemed unfazed by the attention. His attention was soon captured by a different sense – the enticing aroma of food wafting through the air. He sniffed appreciatively, his feline instincts leading the way. "Do you smell that? Let's check it out," he said, his steps veering towards the source of the aroma.
Louise started to protest, "Beerus, we're supposed to be investigating, not—"
But Beerus was already heading towards a charming establishment with a sign that read "The Charming Fairy." The promise of good food had won over the mission, at least for the moment.
Whis, intrigued by the culinary prospect, followed Beerus, leaving Louise with little choice but to join them. The scent of freshly cooked meals and baked goods was indeed inviting.
Upon entering "The Charming Fairy," the trio was greeted by an interior that was as warm and inviting as the aroma suggested. The inn was cozy, with a rustic charm and a lively atmosphere. However, the moment Beerus and Whis stepped in, a hush fell over the room, and all eyes turned towards them.
The wait staff, a group of young and attractive women, paused in their tasks, their expressions a mix of curiosity and caution. Louise felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Being in the company of Beerus and Whis certainly made for an extraordinary spectacle.
Despite the attention, Beerus and Whis seemed completely indifferent to the stares. They chose a table and settled down comfortably. Louise followed, taking a seat while trying to blend into the background as much as possible.
Beerus looked around with an air of expectation. "Let's see what this place has to offer. I'm starving."
Whis nodded in agreement, his gaze scanning the menu with interest. "The variety of cuisines in this world is quite remarkable."
Louise, still aware of the many eyes on them, leaned in closer. "We can't forget why we're here. We need to gather information about the noble."
Beerus, perusing the menu, replied without looking up. "Relax, Louise. We'll get to that. But first, a good meal can open up more than just our appetites. It might open up conversations too."
Louise sighed, recognizing the truth in Beerus's words. In a place like an inn, rumors and stories flowed as freely as the drinks.
As they ordered their meals, the initial shock of their arrival began to wear off, and the bustling atmosphere of the inn slowly returned. Conversations resumed, though the trio remained the subject of many hushed discussions.
Louise decided to use the opportunity to listen in on the patrons' conversations, hoping to pick up any hints or clues about the noble's activities. Beerus and Whis, meanwhile, were more focused on the culinary delights being served to them.
She left the table, moving through the inn with a determined stride. Her goal was to gather information about the noble, Chelenne, who was reportedly causing hardship for the townspeople.
After asking around, Louise was directed to Scarron, the jovial owner of the tavern, and his daughter, Jessica. They were more than willing to share what they knew. "Chelenne has been a plague on this town," Scarron explained with a hint of frustration. "He's been over-taxing us, squeezing every last coin he can."
Jessica nodded in agreement. "He comes here often, throwing his weight around. Everyone's too scared to stand up to him."
As Louise was about to inquire further about Chelenne's whereabouts, the door to the inn swung open, and a hush fell over the room. In walked Chelenne, a man of imposing presence, accompanied by a group of burly guards. The atmosphere in the inn shifted, the previous warmth replaced by a tense, uneasy silence.
Scarron leaned closer to Louise and whispered, "That's him, Chelenne. He's here."
Louise's eyes narrowed as she observed the noble. Without a second thought, she marched up to him, her sense of justice overriding any caution. "Chelenne!" she called out, drawing the attention of the entire inn. "I demand you stop your injustice against the people of this town!"
The room fell deathly silent, all eyes on Louise. Chelenne and his men turned to face her, surprise evident on their faces before it morphed into amusement.
Chelenne let out a boisterous laugh, his guards joining in. "And who might you be? A little girl playing hero?"
Meanwhile, at their table, Beerus and Whis watched the scene unfold with mild interest, a smirk playing on Beerus's lips. "She's got spirit, I'll give her that," Beerus commented, taking another bite of his meal.
Whis nodded, still savoring the flavors of the dish before him. "Indeed, quite entertaining."
Frustrated by their laughter, Louise stood her ground, but Chelenne merely waved his hand dismissively at his guards. "Teach this brat a lesson. Show her what happens to those who defy me."
The guards advanced towards Louise, their intentions clear. Louise, realizing she might have bitten off more than she could chew, began to dodge and weave through the tables, trying to evade capture.
"Beerus! Whis! A little help, please!" she called out as she narrowly dodged a guard's grasp.
Beerus and Whis, however, seemed more engrossed in their meal than in the unfolding chaos. "You can handle it, Louise! Show them what you're made of!" Beerus cheered between bites, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Whis chuckled, his attention still on the exquisite flavors of his dish. "Yes, let's see your resolve, Louise."
Louise, feeling a surge of irritation at their lack of intervention, continued her evasive maneuvers. She ducked and dodged around the inn, the guards clumsily trying to keep up with her.
The patrons of the inn watched in a mix of shock and awe as the young mage led Chelenne's guards on a merry chase. Tables were overturned, drinks spilled, and the once peaceful inn transformed into a scene of comedic chaos.
Amidst the mayhem, Beerus and Whis remained at their table, their focus unwavering from the culinary delights before them, that is, until a guard, in his pursuit of Louise, stumbled clumsily into their table.
The impact sent plates clattering to the floor, their contents—a delectable array of the inn's finest dishes—spilling unceremoniously across the wooden planks. Whis let out a resigned sigh, mourning the loss of their meal. "Such a waste of good food," he lamented, his tone laced with disappointment.
Beerus, however, reacted differently. The destruction of his meal seemed to flip a switch within him. He slowly stood up, his body emanating a menacing purple aura that instantly filled the room with a palpable sense of dread. The inn began to tremble subtly under the weight of his growing anger.
Whis, observing Beerus's change in demeanor, quipped with a wry smile, "Well, it seems you've gone and made him mad."
Louise, who had momentarily paused in her evasion, watched with wide eyes as Beerus turned his gaze towards Chelenne and his guards. She knew all too well the danger of a wrathful Beerus.
"Foolish mortals," Beerus growled, his voice low and filled with a simmering rage. "You've just ruined a perfectly good meal."
Chelenne and his guards, frozen in fear, could only stare in horror at the God of Destruction before them. The comedic chase had turned into a nightmare scenario, the gravity of their situation becoming painfully clear.
With a flick of his wrist, Beerus raised his palm towards them. The air crackled with destructive energy as he uttered a single word, "Hakai."
In a brilliant flash of purple light, Chelenne and his men screamed in agony as they were obliterated from existence, their forms dissolving into nothingness within the eerie hue of Beerus's power.
The inn fell deathly silent, the patrons frozen in shock at the display of raw, unbridled destruction. Louise felt a chill run down her spine, a mix of fear and awe at the sight of Beerus's true power.
Whis, ever the composed observer, stood up and gently patted Beerus on the shoulder. "There, there, Beerus. Let's not get too carried away. Remember, we're guests in this world."
Beerus, his anger having found its release, gradually calmed down, the purple aura dissipating around him. He sat back down, a hint of remorse flickering in his eyes for the abrupt end to the confrontation.
Louise approached Beerus cautiously, her mind racing with the implications of what had just occurred. The problem with Chelenne was resolved but in a manner far beyond what she had envisioned.
The inn slowly came back to life, the patrons whispering among themselves, their eyes darting between Beerus, Whis, and Louise. The atmosphere was one of unease and disbelief.
Louise knew they couldn't linger in the inn after what had transpired. "We should leave," she suggested, her voice barely above a whisper.
Beerus nodded in agreement, and together with Whis, they exited "The Charming Fairy," leaving behind a scene that would become the subject of town legend for generations to come.
As they left the now-silent inn behind, the weight of what had just transpired hung heavily in the air. Louise walked alongside Beerus and Whis, her mind reeling from the display of power she had just witnessed. The reality of Beerus's capabilities was far more intense and frightening than she had ever imagined.
"Whis, what exactly happened back there to Chellene and his men?" Louise asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Whis, walking with his usual grace, answered in a calm tone, "Beerus used one of his abilities as a God of Destruction. He wiped them from existence. It's a power used to maintain balance in the universe, though it's rarely employed in such a... direct manner."
Louise shuddered at the thought. The finality and ease with which Beerus had erased Chellene and his guards were terrifying. It was a stark reminder of the immense and unfathomable power that Beerus wielded.
Beerus, who had been quiet since leaving the inn, finally spoke up. "It's time to leave this town. There's nothing more for us here."
Louise nodded, still processing the events. "We need to report back to Princess Henrietta. She should know what happened."
Whis's eyes lit up at the mention of the princess. "Oh, a royal audience? How delightful! I'm quite eager to inquire about the culinary traditions of this world."
Beerus, however, seemed less enthusiastic. "I was hoping for a nap, but fine, let's go meet your princess."
With a decision made, Whis tapped his staff on the ground, and once again, a circle of glowing symbols and cosmic energy enveloped them. In a flash, they shot up into the sky, the world around them becoming a blur as they traveled at an unimaginable speed.
Seconds later, they arrived at the royal palace, the transition from the town to the palace grounds disorientingly swift. Louise, still not accustomed to this mode of transportation, felt a wave of motion sickness wash over her. She staggered to a nearby corner, her stomach unable to cope with the rapid journey.
Beerus and Whis waited patiently, Whis with a look of mild concern and Beerus with his typical indifference. Once Louise had composed herself, they made their way to the palace entrance, their arrival sure to cause a stir.
The palace guards, upon seeing the trio, were momentarily taken aback but quickly regained their composure and escorted them inside. The news of their arrival spread quickly, and it wasn't long before they were ushered into the presence of Princess Henrietta.
The princess, regal and composed, greeted them with a mixture of curiosity and concern. "Welcome back, Louise. I see you've brought... unusual company."
Louise took a deep breath, preparing herself to explain the events that had transpired in the town. The meeting with Princess Henrietta was crucial, not just to report on their mission, but to also gauge the reaction of the royal court to the extraordinary powers of Beerus and Whis.
As they settled into the audience chamber, the air was thick with anticipation. Louise knew that the tale they were about to tell would have significant implications, not only for her but for the entire kingdom. The encounter with Chelenne and the display of Beerus's power were just the beginning of a story that was far from over.
In the Kingdom of Galia, away from prying eyes and under the cover of secrecy, a hidden chamber lay shrouded in mystery. Within its dark confines, King Joseph kneeled before a hooded figure who sat upon a throne enshrouded in shadows. The air was heavy with an ominous aura, the chamber echoing with whispered schemes and concealed ambitions.
The hooded figure, exuding an intimidating presence, addressed the king in a voice that was both commanding and eerily calm. "I have sensed an unusual disturbance, Joseph. A god's presence in this world, but not just any deity – a destroyer god. This was unforeseen."
King Joseph, his head bowed in deference, replied with a hint of nervousness. "Your Eminence, how shall we proceed? The presence of such a being could complicate our plans."
The figure leaned forward slightly, the shadows dancing across the contours of the hood. "We will proceed as intended. The arrival of a destroyer god is a concerning development, but it does not change our ultimate goal. We must continue to seek out the orbs."
King Joseph's eyes flickered with understanding. "The dragon balls, yes. We have already located several of them. The search continues for the rest."
"Good," the hooded figure responded, a sense of urgency underlying the calm demeanor. "The dragon balls are key to our ambitions. But be wary, Joseph. A destroyer god is not to be underestimated. They are agents of change, of destruction and rebirth."
The king nodded, his resolve firming. "I understand, Your Eminence. We will be cautious, but our search will not cease. The dragon balls will be ours."
"Ensure that it is so," the hooded figure commanded. "The balance of power in this world is delicate. We must not allow this destroyer god, or anyone else, to interfere with my plans."
With that final directive, King Joseph rose to his feet, a mixture of fear and determination etched on his face. The stakes were higher than ever, and the presence of a destroyer god added a volatile element to an already dangerous game.
As he exited the chamber, the king's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and strategies. The pursuit of the dragon balls was no mere quest for power; it was a move in a grander scheme, one that promised to alter the very fabric of their world.
The hooded figure remained seated in silence, the darkness of the chamber echoing with the weight of the impending struggle. The convergence of forces, both mortal and divine, was setting the stage for a conflict that could redefine the destiny of their world.
And in the heart of this brewing storm stood King Joseph, a monarch caught between his loyalty to a mysterious master and the unpredictable currents of power that were gathering around him. The path ahead was fraught with danger and deception, but the king was committed to his course, ready to face whatever challenges lay in the shadows of his kingdom.
