Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Hidden Mission is Completed, Beerus Gets the Reward!
With Liu Peiqiang's confirmation, everyone present turned their eyes toward Beerus, who floated gently through the air. Their faces were filled with awe and deep gratitude.
Despite his strange, feline-like appearance, no one was surprised. In fact, this was exactly what they had expected. After all, they had already heard stories about him—about the divine being who saved Earth. For many, it was already accepted that alien life wouldn't look like humans. If anything, they would have been shocked if Beerus did look like one of them.
Besides the gratitude in their eyes, something more had begun to take root in their hearts—worship.
The way Beerus descended from the sky, wrapped in divine energy, was like something out of myth. The way he moved through the air resembled the legendary immortals from ancient folklore.
Though he wasn't a god in the traditional Earth sense, to them, he might as well be.
He had saved the Earth not once, but twice. He had defied the impossible. So yes, in their hearts—Beerus was a god.
Beerus didn't fully understand what these people were thinking, but he could clearly see their expressions—faces beaming with admiration, eyes shining with respect.
It made him feel something unexpected.
Satisfaction.
Beerus had never paid attention to the admiration of ordinary mortals before. Back in his own world, the fear and reverence of weaklings meant little to him. But this was different. These were people from another world. They weren't part of Universe 7. They had no obligation to respect him. Yet here they were—bowing their heads, raising their voices, cheering his name.
It gave him a rare sense of pride and accomplishment.
Hovering above them, Beerus floated down and stood before Liu Peiqiang.
"Employer," Beerus said in his usual laid-back tone. "I've completed the mission. Don't forget to leave me a five-star review."
Liu Peiqiang blinked in surprise. "What… what?"
He couldn't believe what he'd just heard.
Mission completed?
He didn't even remember issuing an actual mission. All he had done was desperately plead with Beerus to help move Earth closer to humanity's new home—preferably all the way there.
Now, Beerus stood here, as casual as ever, claiming the mission was done.
Did that mean… they had arrived?
Liu Peiqiang had never doubted Beerus's strength, not truly. He had hoped, even believed, that the godly being could help them. Maybe not take them all the way, but at least move Earth far enough to give future generations hope.
But this—this was too fast.
From the time Beerus brought the space station back to Earth to now, not even ten minutes had passed.
Had Earth really traveled across vast interstellar space, a journey that was supposed to take 2,500 years, in under ten minutes?
That was faster than light. No, far faster.
Of course, Liu Peiqiang had no idea that the actual trip took less than ten seconds. Beerus, using only a fraction of his power, had casually carried the entire planet to its new destination as if it were a toy.
But even if he couldn't comprehend the full scale of Beerus's abilities, Liu Peiqiang trusted him. Beerus had no reason to lie. And before he could speak again, the communicator device in the rescue team's possession came alive with a broadcast from Earth's upper command.
"Attention all units. This is Earth's Command Center. The planet has arrived at its designated destination."
"We repeat: Earth has reached its new home."
There was a moment of stunned silence.
Then the voice on the radio continued:
"If Mr. Beerus is near you, please let him hear this—we thank him with all our hearts. Without him, this would never have been possible."
Gasps rippled through the crowd. Everyone who had been skeptical—everyone who thought it might be too good to be true—now had confirmation.
It was real.
Earth had arrived. The journey was over.
What was once believed to be impossible, what generations of humans had resigned themselves to never seeing, had been completed in minutes.
Tears welled up in people's eyes.
Hope—true, tangible hope—had returned.
And then, all at once, everyone turned to Beerus. Their gratitude burst forth like a tidal wave.
"Thank you, Mr. Beerus!"
"Thank you, Mr. Beerus!!"
"Thank you, Mr. Beerus!!!"
The voices echoed across the snowy plains, rising into the sky, filled with raw emotion and sincerity. Some people knelt. Others wept. Children clung to their parents, pointing at the purple figure who had become their savior.
Beerus grinned, arms folded, tail swaying lazily.
"No need to make such a fuss," he said, though his expression showed he was clearly pleased. "I was just doing my job. If you want to thank me, give me that five-star review. That's the best gift I could ask for."
Liu Peiqiang gave a firm nod. "Of course. You've earned every star."
He opened the mission terminal and, without hesitation, gave Beerus a glowing five-star rating.
But that wasn't all.
As a gesture of appreciation, Liu Peiqiang also woke all the remaining personnel in the space station from cryosleep. Once they were safely moved out, he made a bold decision—to offer the entire space station to Beerus as payment.
It was a massive reward—one that would have been unthinkable under normal circumstances.
But Beerus wasn't normal.
He had done the impossible. Giving up a space station seemed like a small price.
As the empty station disappeared in a flash of divine energy, those who witnessed it were once again astonished. But when they realized it was connected to Beerus, they weren't surprised for long.
After all, if he could move an entire planet across the galaxy, making a space station vanish was hardly impressive.
With the crowd still bowing and cheering behind him, Beerus smiled and looked to the sky.
It was time to return.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the Earth of this universe and returned to his original world.
Ding!
[Congratulations to Beerus the Thug for completing the hidden mission! Reward: 400,000 points!]
Ding!
[Five-star praise received! One lottery draw unlocked! Additional rewards granted! Comprehension of Zizai Jiyi Gong has doubled!]
Beerus floated through the void, a satisfied grin on his face. The system messages echoed in his ears like music.
Not only had he completed a rare mission, but he'd also earned a five-star rating and improved his understanding of the mysterious Zizai Jiyi Gong.
A surge of knowledge suddenly flooded his mind—techniques, energy flow, mental states, movement control. Everything related to Zizai Jiyi Gong became clearer than ever before.
He felt lighter, faster, more precise.
"Not bad at all," he muttered, stretching his arms behind his head.
The mission had gone better than expected.
A planet saved, a people reborn, a legend cemented—and all of it wrapped up in a neat five-star package.
Beerus floated lazily through the void of the Dragon Ball world once again.
But he couldn't help but wonder...
Where would his next mission take him?
