In the blink of an eye, two years passed—a mere moment for immortal beings, yet those years were not without eventful progress.
During this time, Beerus finally accepted Velzar as his wife. As the Queen of Celesterra, Velzar took on the responsibility of overseeing the realm, ensuring its people thrived in both peace and prosperity. The primordial demons, however, were envious of Velzar, grumbling amongst themselves that she had Beerus all to herself. Whether that situation might evolve in the future, only time would tell.
The demon lords continued to rule their respective territories. Beerus chose not to interfere in the world's daily matters, so long as their actions didn't threaten the balance of existence. A few skirmishes and wars broke out during this period, but none dared challenge Celesterra. The realm stood as a beacon of unparalleled power, untouched and inviolable.
Draguel, situated next to Celesterra, thrived under its protection. With his close friendship with Beerus, Draguel's nation was practically treated as an extension of Celesterra. It became one of the safest places in the world, and any potential threats were swiftly deterred simply by its proximity to Beerus.
Ivarage, under the tutelage of Beerus's generals, showed tremendous growth. Over time, the once-mindless beast began to grow accustomed to interacting with others, learning the complexities of emotions, and demonstrating a newfound calmness. His progress, while slow, was undeniable, and he even began earning the respect of Celesterra's citizens.
People from all over the world continued to flock to Celesterra, not just to marvel at its beauty, but also to enjoy its ever-growing entertainment. With Ramiris's Labyrinth boasting 100 floors—each floor like an entirely different country—explorers and adventurers constantly challenged its dangers, adding to its allure. The labyrinth had become one of the most exciting attractions in the world.
Beerus's Vision
During this time, Beerus spent much of his days enjoying the luxuries of life alongside Velzar—feasting on exquisite food and indulging in entertainment. However, his mind wasn't idle. He continued to think about the upcoming battle between Guy Crimson and Rudra, treating it as a grand event worthy of preparation. Inspired by their clash, Beerus conceived a bold idea: a world tournament.
This tournament would be open to the strongest fighters across the realms, creating a stage where warriors could compete for glory and recognition. In addition, Beerus envisioned a separate tournament exclusively for the demon lords. This would allow them to unleash their full power in an environment where they could truly go all out without holding back.
The tournaments would serve several purposes:
Entertainment: Celesterra thrived on it, and nothing captivated people like the thrill of battle.
Control: By giving the strongest beings a way to vent their power, Beerus ensured the world remained balanced and free from unnecessary destruction.
Challenge: As a warrior himself, Beerus loved the idea of watching beings push their limits in pursuit of victory.
The Countdown Begins
With the final preparations complete, the day of reckoning for Rudra and Guy Crimson drew near. The world buzzed with anticipation. Beerus had kept the announcement of the tournaments a secret for now, intending to unveil them after the grand showdown between Rudra and Guy. For Beerus, this clash was the perfect catalyst to ignite the competitive spirit of the world's strongest beings.
As the countdown to the battle continued, Beerus smirked, reclining on his throne in Celesterra. "This world is about to witness something unforgettable," he mused, his golden eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Let's see who rises... and who falls."
Velzar, seated beside him, simply smiled. "You've always been a fan of chaos, haven't you?"
Beerus chuckled. "Controlled chaos, Velzar. There's no better way to bring out the best in people. And for us? It's entertaining."
With two years of quiet preparation now complete, the stage was set for a new era of competition and spectacle, all under the watchful eyes of Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction.
