Sixty years had slipped by like a dreamless night. When I finally stirred, the cavern's molten glow was dim, and my great mother lay listening intently, her massive head tilted toward the horizon.
I rose, still heavy from centuries of slumber. "Mother, what are you hearing?" I rumbled, my voice echoing off basalt walls.
Amaterasu's eyes gleamed with ancient sorrow. "A MUTO's long‑distance call," she explained softly. "A parasitic rival. It was how your uncle Dagon perished." Her scales shivered at the memory.
I clenched my claws. "Then how shall we face them? I'm only half your stature… barely a head shorter, in fact."
She rumbled a gentle laugh. "Size matters little when you wield atomic power with such affinity, my son."
I reached for the system interface floating before me. "Andarta—status update, please."
A sharp, familiar snarl echoed in my mind.
"I was alone for sixty years, you dumb jerk."
I winced. "Apologies, Andarta. I wish our minds were linked—then you could warn me even in hibernation."
"Yearly wish uses: –1 (59 remaining)."
I frowned. "What was that?"
"You have gained the Wish‑Granting Ability of Shenron."
A titanic power hummed through me.
"Effects of your granted wishes have elevated you to Level 900. Billions have fallen, planets shattered. Your core awakens as God‐Tier. Seven evolutions complete—you tread the brink of a multiversal threat. Though smaller than Amaterasu, your might rivals hers."
I exhaled, the cavern trembling. "Show me the details."

I flexed my claws, each articulation humming with infinite energy. "Andarta, shall we hunt?"
A bored drawl answered, "What for?"
I narrowed my eyes. "The male MUTO's call—it's time we met our rival."
The system paused. "No. Wait a few days; the male MUTO will reveal itself."
I allowed myself a grin. "Very well. A few days' patience is a small price to pay."
Mother rose, her form blotting out the cavern mouth. She nodded at me once—an unspoken promise of war to come—and together we stepped into a world grown strange beneath three moons and a swollen, super‑Earth sky.
