The cosmic broadcast continued, and for a moment, the tension that had gripped the Multiverse began to soften. In the video, Beerus, the God of Destruction who had been on the verge of annihilating the planet, felt his boiling fury finally dissipate. Thanks to Vegeta's frantic efforts—his pride discarded and his dignity shattered—a major crisis that threatened to wipe Earth from the star charts had been narrowly averted.
Beerus had originally intended to depart in peace. However, fate had other plans, and someone just had to cross him. Before they could leave, Whis turned to Beerus and asked if he had ever sampled a delicacy called "pudding." He spoke of its exquisite flavor, and for a culinary connoisseur like the God of Destruction, such a recommendation was a command to his stomach.
Guided by Whis, the duo approached Majin Buu and Mr. Satan, as Buu was hoarding the last of the world's supply. Whis politely requested two servings of the dessert, and Mr. Satan, ever the diplomat, urged Buu to share. But the pink monster's selfishness knew no bounds. He didn't just refuse; he spitefully licked every single cup of pudding to ensure no one else could touch them.
This petty act was the spark that reignited the fuse. Thoroughly annoyed, Beerus didn't hesitate—he sent Majin Buu spiraling through the air with a casual flick. The sudden violence drew everyone's eyes. In the crowd, Vegeta stood paralyzed. He had just barely managed to appease the destroyer, and now, all his hard work was being trampled. This time, Beerus had drawn first blood; diplomacy was dead.
"I am a broad-minded God," Beerus stated, his voice carrying a chilling weight. "I can tolerate many things, but I have one rule: I do not forgive a lack of manners or a failure to treat others with respect."
Had Buu simply said no, the God might have sighed and walked away. But the deliberate, provocative act of ruining the food was a direct challenge to his divinity. To the Z Fighters, Majin Buu was a nightmare incarnate; to Beerus, he was as insignificant as an ant.
Watching from his own timeline, Vegeta's Ki flared in a mixture of rage and despair. He wished he could tear Majin Buu into a thousand pieces. He had danced like a fool and sacrificed his royal pride to save his family, only for this brainless glutton to ruin everything in a single second. It had all been for nothing.
The reaction across the dimensions was one of collective face-palming. In the world of pirates, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed. "I don't know how that monster is still alive or why he's hanging out with the Z Fighters, but his talent for causing trouble has only grown stronger."
From the Hidden Leaf Village, Kakashi Hatake added, "Who could argue? Under Babidi, he was a simple force of destruction, but now he's provoked a God of Destruction. The entire Earth is at risk of being erased over a snack."
Kurosaki Ichigo chimed in, trying to find a silver lining. "Well, the Super Saiyan God hasn't appeared yet, so the world probably survives. But I'm honestly fed up for Goku and the others—having to clean up a mess this stupid is exhausting."
The Armor Summoners were equally baffled. Duanmu Yan noted, "As an Earthling, I should see Beerus as the enemy, but I can't blame him here. He really was being broad-minded. He gave them so many chances to back down."
Tien Shinhan agreed, his voice heavy with resignation. "He was provoked several times and managed to calm himself. If it weren't for Majin Buu being so incredibly excessive, the God would have left peacefully."
Even the divine realms were buzzing. Quitela, the God of Destruction of Universe 4, couldn't resist mocking his rival. "@Beerus, since when did you become so soft? Humans being disrespectful should be erased instantly. I'm ashamed to call you a fellow Destroyer."
"I am simply broad-minded, you petty little mouse," Beerus shot back. "But I suppose a creature as small as you wouldn't understand the concept of grace."
"Why you—!" Quitela fumed.
Champa, the God of Destruction from Universe 6, surprisingly sided with his brother. "Play is play, but don't mess with a man's food! If someone licked my pudding, I'd have deleted their solar system by now. You don't joke with a glutton's meal!"
Back on Earth, the members of GUTS were staring at the screen in disbelief. "Every other villain had a grand plan—conquest, revenge, or pure chaos," Daigo observed. "But this crisis is being caused by... pudding?"
"It's a 'Bloody Case of the Pudding,'" Shinjoh muttered. "If a monster appeared in our world because someone didn't share their dessert, we'd be completely overwhelmed. It could have been settled with a spoon, but now it's going to be settled with planet-shattering fists."
Akira, watching the unfolding chaos with the tactical mind of a transmigrator, realized the stakes had shifted. The era of fighting for justice had taken a bizarre turn into the era of fighting for survival against the whims of the divine.
