Goku, Vegeta and Xeno Trunks are fighting against Beerus, while Gohan, Piccolo, 17, Krillin, and the other Gods of Destruction look on. Beerus has the upper hand, until their battle is interrupted by the arrival of Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta, who warn them that they need to stop the fight. Suddenly, a mass of giant tree roots appears in the sky around the Earth and begins draining the planet's energy. The other Gods of Destruction sense that the same thing is happening on other planets all over their own universes, with the affected planets eventually being consumed entirely. The other gods all rush back to their own universes to protect them, leaving Beerus, the Earth's heroes, and the Time Patrollers behind. They are then confronted by Fu, who is accompanied by Doki-Doki. Fu confirms that Doki-Doki is the "Bird of Catastrophe" that Beerus was worried about, and explains that the tree roots are part of the Universe Tree, which grew from the Universe Seed that Hearts was developing. By draining energy from all twelve universes using the Tree, he claims that he will be able to create a new universe. Fu and Doki-Doki escape through a portal, while Krillin, Piccolo, and the other inhabitants of Earth begin to weaken as a result of the Tree's draining their energy. Beerus rises into the sky and powers up, shielding the Earth by allowing the Tree to feed on his energy instead; however, he warns the others that he will not be able to keep this up for long, and that he cannot destroy the Tree by himself. Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta teleport away to search for Fu elsewhere, while Goku, Vegeta, and Xeno Trunks head out in their own attempt to track him down.
