Dragon Ball: My Earthly Rebirth

Android 18 looked at John Doe's determined face and slowly said, "Alright, I'll agree to join you in this Tournament of Power."

"Thank you, Android 18!" Hearing her agreement, John Doe immediately hugged Android 18 and spun around happily.

"Alright, let me go. I need to take my daughter to Bulma's house and ask her to arrange for someone to look after her." Android 18 quickly said.

The two of them brought their daughter, Lazuli, to Bulma's house. Android 18 took Lazuli to find Bulma, while John Doe accompanied Beerus, Whis, and the Supreme Kai as they waited for the others to arrive.

Not long after, Vegeta arrived first with Nappa and Raditz. Vegeta said, "To avoid any accidents on the other side, I brought these two with me."

Vegeta then introduced Nappa and Raditz, "This is Lord Beerus, the Destroyer God."

"This is the Supreme Kai."

"This is Mr. Whis."

After hearing Vegeta's introduction, Nappa and Raditz quickly greeted the two gods and the angel with utmost respect.

At this time, Nappa and Raditz's expressions were no longer as cold and cruel as before. Instead, they appeared very peaceful, indicating that over the years, they had not done anything wrong on other planets.

John Doe also greeted them, and the two of them respectfully bowed to him.

Not long after, Gohan returned, followed by Piccolo, but Goku brought some extremely bad news—Buu had fallen into a deep sleep and could not participate in the Tournament of Power.

Hearing this, Beerus became furious and said, "Sleep? Why would a Majin like him sleep? Is he deliberately avoiding me because he doesn't want to participate in the Tournament of Power?"

"Tell me his location, and I'll go teach him a lesson!"

John Doe and Gohan quickly stopped Beerus, and Gohan explained, "Lord Beerus, Buu doesn't usually need rest. Normally, he only needs to sleep for 5 minutes."

"But sometimes, he falls into a long sleep, and this kind of slumber usually lasts for more than half a month. No one, no matter what method they use, can wake him up."

Beerus was angry, but not as much as one might expect. It was because Beerus was somewhat afraid of the outcome of the Tournament of Power, as he knew that Zeno was a man of his word.

Zeno had said that he would erase any universe whose fighters were eliminated, and he would definitely do it. No one could stop him.

The seventh universe's strength ranking was second to last, and the Destroyer God couldn't participate to help. At this point, Beerus had no idea whether his universe's warriors could achieve final victory, and he was truly worried.

Whis had already received the rules of the Tournament of Power, and it was not possible to use any tools. Majin Buu's one-handed recovery ability would have greatly increased the seventh universe's chances of winning, but now, with Majin Buu unable to compete, everything had changed.

Beerus spoke up, "Alright, let's hope that our seventh universe can achieve final victory in this tournament. Otherwise, there's no point in forgiving anyone."

"Fortunately, we have backup fighters. Since Majin Buu can't participate, Nappa, Raditz, and you, 17, will join the tournament."

Two hours passed, and Goku arrived with Android 17. John Doe frowned and asked, "Where's Android 16? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Android 17 replied, "Android 16 doesn't like fighting, and he's different from us. He's a pure mechanical android, and his strength doesn't increase over time, so he insists on not participating in the Tournament of Power."

"What? Another one who doesn't want to participate? Why are they all so stubborn?!"

Whis advised at this point, "Lord Beerus, let's see who we choose for the last fighter. We don't have much time left."

Whis's words calmed Beerus down again, and John Doe and the others were also thinking hard about who the last fighter should be.

"Lord Beerus, you're the Destroyer God. Aside from Monaka, don't you know any other powerful fighters in the seventh universe?" Goku asked with a frown.

Hearing Goku's words, Whis laughed and said, "I think our Lord Beerus spends all his time and energy sleeping, hahaha..."

Although he was very angry that his little angel often exposed his shortcomings, Beerus still asked, "Do you have any suggestions? If we can't find anyone else, let's just pick a fighter to make up the numbers."

"Then let's choose Krillin," John Doe suggested.

At this point, Goku replied, "I have someone in mind. He's very strong and will definitely be a great help to us."

"Who?" Everyone looked at Goku in confusion and asked.

"Frieza!!!" Goku exclaimed.

At this moment, John Doe finally understood why many people in his previous life said that Frieza had been redeemed.

It turned out that it was Goku who suggested letting Frieza participate in the Tournament of Power. He really didn't know what to say.

When Vegeta heard Goku mention Frieza's name, he immediately became unhappy and loudly objected, "Kakarot, what are you thinking? Frieza, is he the kind of person who would listen to you and participate in the tournament obediently?"

Others, like Nappa and Raditz, also tried to persuade Goku, as Frieza was the most unforgivable person to the Saiyans.

On the contrary, Beerus asked, "Isn't Frieza already dead? How can we get him to participate in the tournament? We might not have enough time to revive him."

Goku replied, "We don't need to revive him. Baba has the ability to bring the dead back to the real world for one day. We only need Frieza to participate in the Tournament of Power for one day."

Beerus nodded and said, "Alright, I approve. Go to Hell and bring him here."

Then Beerus looked at the others and said, "I need to emphasize the importance of this tournament again. It's about the survival of our seventh universe."

"Only by defeating the fighters from other universes and surviving can we have the right to forgive anyone. If we lose, the entire seventh universe, including Hell, will be erased by Zeno, and no one will be spared."

"So I hope you'll all fight with all your might and not let me or yourselves down."

After saying this, Beerus asked Whis to inform everyone of the rules of the Tournament of Power and to think about their battle strategies.
