Reborn In Dragon Ball World As Goten With Ultra Instinct Power

Vegeta: "Maybe Goten's just bragging."

(Vegeta muttered under his breath.)

(The idea that someone could be a billion times stronger than a God of Destruction seemed too far-fetched.)

(Goten's description of his own power felt exaggerated, even for someone as strong as him.)

Goku: "If that's the case, then we don't need to worry about Beerus at all."

(Goku chimed in, his tone a mix of curiosity and doubt.)

Goku: "As long as you step in, Goten, you can handle him easily."

(Though Goku trusted Goten's strength, he couldn't help but feel skeptical.)

(If Beerus was as strong as Supreme Kai had described, then Goten's claim of being a billion times stronger seemed almost unbelievable.)

(Goten, however, remained calm.)

Goten: "Unless Beerus tries to destroy Earth, I won't interfere. And if you provoke him, I won't help you either. Beerus is a good friend of mine. In a way, he's the reason I'm still alive."

(To Goten, Beerus was more than just a God of Destruction.)

(In his timeline, Beerus had saved his life at great personal cost.)

(Their bond was deep, almost like that of family.)

(Compared to Goku, who had been absent for much of his life, Beerus had been a constant presence.)

(The others exchanged uneasy glances.)

(Goten's refusal to help was unexpected.)

(Despite being Goku's son, he seemed detached, almost indifferent to their plight.)

(But what could they say? Goten's decision was his own, and he wasn't obligated to help.)

(After all, he was from another timeline.)

(A few minutes later, two figures materialized in front of the group.)

(One was a tall, slender man with a staff, and the other was a cat-like humanoid with an air of authority.)

(It was Whis and Beerus, the Angel and God of Destruction of Universe 7.)

Goku: "Vegeta, look! Is that the God of Destruction Beerus Supreme Kai was talking about?"

(Goku asked, his eyes narrowing as he studied the newcomers.)

(Beerus and Whis didn't radiate the overwhelming pressure Goku had expected.)

(In fact, they seemed almost... ordinary.)

(Their strange clothing was the only thing that stood out.)

Vegeta: "Yeah, it must be them."

(Vegeta replied, crossing his arms.)

Vegeta: "But they don't seem strong at all."

(Neither Goku nor Vegeta could sense any ki from Beerus or Whis.)

(Without the oppressive aura they associated with powerful foes, the two Saiyans began to doubt the stories they'd heard.)

Dende: "Goku! Vegeta! Don't underestimate them!"

(Dende suddenly interjected, his voice trembling.)

Dende: "I can feel an immense divine power from them. It's far stronger than anything I've ever sensed before. Please, don't provoke them!"

(Dende's fear was palpable.)

(As the Guardian of Earth, he was more attuned to divine energy than the others.)

(The sheer magnitude of Beerus' power was overwhelming, like staring into an endless abyss.)

(Goku's eyes lit up with excitement.)

Goku: "Oh? So he really is strong? This is great!"

(Vegeta smirked, his competitive spirit ignited.)

(If Beerus was as powerful as Dende claimed, then he might finally have a worthy opponent.)

(Just then, Beerus spoke, his voice calm but carrying an undercurrent of menace.)

Beerus: "Hey! Which one of you is the Saiyan?"

(His gaze swept over Goku and Vegeta, but when his eyes landed on Goten, they paused.)

(Even Whis stopped, his attention fixed on Goten.)

(The moment Beerus laid eyes on Goten, an inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over him.)

(It was a feeling that made him uneasy—something he had never experienced before.)

(The young man in front of him appeared to be a mortal from Universe 7, but how could he evoke such a strange sensation?)

Beerus: "Whis."

(Beerus said, his voice low and cautious.)

Beerus: "I just felt something... familiar from that kid. I don't know what it is, but it's making me uncomfortable. Do you have any idea what's going on?"

(Beerus found it hard to believe that a mere mortal could unsettle him, yet the feeling was undeniably real.)

Whis: "Lord Beerus, I feel it too."

(Whis replied, his expression unusually serious.)

Whis: "There's something about him that feels deeply familiar, though I can't quite place it. That mortal... he's unfathomable."

(Whis, an Angel, rarely showed concern, but even he felt a sense of unease when looking at Goten.)

(The young man's presence was like staring into an endless abyss—impossible to fully comprehend.)

Beerus: "Even you find him unfathomable?"

(Beerus mused, a hint of intrigue in his voice.)

Beerus: "This is getting interesting. For a mortal to make both an Angel and a God of Destruction feel this way... I'm starting to think he might be the Super Saiyan God from my prophetic dream."

(Beerus's eyes narrowed as he studied Goten.)

(If this young man was indeed the Super Saiyan God he had foreseen, then his divine aura and overwhelming presence made sense.)

Whis: "I can't say for certain."

(Whis admitted, shaking his head.)

Whis: "But if he is the Super Saiyan God from your dream, then your prophetic opponent is far more formidable than we anticipated."

(Whis's tone was cautious.)

(The power radiating from Goten was unlike anything he had ever sensed.)

(If this mortal was truly Beerus's destined rival, then the God of Destruction might be in for a challenge unlike any other.)

(Meanwhile, Goten noticed Beerus and Whis observing him.)

(A faint smile played on his lips as he casually found a table and began enjoying the food.)

(He had no intention of interfering—at least, not yet.)

Goku: "Yo! You must be Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction!"

(Goku exclaimed, approaching Whis with a grin.)

(In Goku's mind, Whis, with his elegant demeanor, seemed more fitting to be the God of Destruction.)

(The small, cat-like figure beside him? Surely, that was just a pet.)

Whis: "Hehe, you've got it wrong."

(Whis chuckled, amused.)

Whis: "I'm merely Lord Beerus's attendant. This is Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction."

(Whis gestured to the small, cat-like figure beside him.)

(Beerus, meanwhile, looked utterly baffled.)

Goku: "What?! You're the God of Destruction?"

(Goku asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.)

(Beerus sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.)

Beerus: "Yes, I am the God of Destruction. Why does everyone keep mistaking Whis for me? Is my divine aura not intimidating enough?"

(Whis laughed softly.)

Whis "Perhaps you should try radiating more of your godly presence next time, Lord Beerus."

(Beerus grumbled under his breath but quickly refocused.)

Beerus: "Enough of this. I came here for a reason. Tell me, who among you is a Saiyan?"

(Vegeta stepped forward, his usual arrogance on full display.)

Vegeta: "I am the Prince of all Saiyans."

(he declared, his tone dripping with pride.)

(Beerus studied Vegeta for a moment, then said calmly.)

Beerus: "Oh? You are Saiyan's prince? You do resemble King Vegeta."

Beerus [in mind]: 'This guy looks like a shorter version of that King Vegeta. He might know something about a Super Saiyan God.'
