"So… so terrifying…"
From a distant stretch of the void, Goku, Whis, and Beerus stared toward the rift, each drawing a sharp breath. The creature that had stepped out of the black hole was beyond terrifying. A space-time storm that would likely maim or kill even them had been crushed in its palm—what kind of existence could do that?
"My god… a being like that actually exists…"
Inside Goku's created world, Saeko and the other women watched the towering demon-shadow on the screen, their scalps prickling, a deep powerlessness taking hold. Even their souls seemed to tremble.
"Can Goku… really handle something like that?"
Ya Fei's voice shook with worry. The power that shadow displayed was simply too overwhelming.
Silence fell. Knuckles whitened, hands clenched tight, every face tense with dread.
"We're finished… With our strength, we can't possibly match that thing," Whis said, frowning deeply. As guardians of this universe, he and Beerus were meant to stand tall—but right now he felt only helplessness. That aura was so dreadful it crushed the will to resist.
"Damn it—what is that thing? How can it be this monstrous…"
Even Goku felt his heart quiver. The gap between his realm and that monster's wasn't a mere notch or two—it was several entire tiers.
"What do we do now?"
Arrogant as ever, Beerus looked uncharacteristically grave. He glanced between Goku and Whis, seeking their view.
"Leave. Quickly. This level of existence is beyond us. His appearance has likely alerted the Sovereign of this realm… There's no place for us to intervene," Whis said solemnly.
"Then we're out of here."
Hearing that the realm's Sovereign might act, Goku didn't hesitate. He pressed two fingers to his brow to teleport—
—and blinked into existence barely ten meters away.
"What—what's going on?!"
He tried again. The result was the same: a jump of only a few meters.
"Damn it… this space is locked. We may not be able to leave," Whis snapped, face darkening.
"Heh—my benefactor, why so eager to go? I haven't even thanked you yet."
The rolling demonic voice cracked the sky like thunder, making their eardrums ache.
With a single step, the towering figure appeared before the trio. The pressure that poured off him made their faces change instantly.
---
"Why the scared faces? Do I look that frightening?"
Displeased by their expressions, the giant shook himself. The black miasma peeled away, revealing a body packed with explosive muscle—ten thousand meters tall, like an indestructible titan. Regal. Towering. Unshakable.
Goku and the others, however, could only stare wordlessly as the giant flexed through poses, beaming with pride. "See? I'm strong, not scary. And quite handsome, too—am I right?"
A few metaphorical black lines slid down the trio's foreheads. They had no idea what to say.
"He… doesn't seem that hostile… right?"
Goku glanced at Beerus and Whis.
"I… I suppose so," Whis said woodenly. The display was beyond his expectations.
"Hey! You brats! I worked hard on that performance and you don't even clap? Careful, or I'll stomp you flat!"
The thunderous voice made their ears ring. Seeing that massive leg rise, the three hurriedly slapped their hands together in stiff applause.
"That's better."
The titan nodded, then went right back to flexing.
'Great… he's unhinged—and short-tempered,' Goku thought, smiling awkwardly as he clapped. 'We can't keep this up. I need a way out…'
Before Goku could act, Beerus finally snapped. Spoiled, volatile, and proud to a fault, the Destroyer God was not someone to be toyed with.
"Wretch! I am the Destroyer God Beerus! I don't care how strong you are—treating me like a clown? I'll kill you!"
His aura exploded. Red light surged around him—he had stepped into the True God Realm as well. A divine beam lanced from his palms, crossing the void to smash into the titan's head.
The boom shook the void. Newly mended space split again, a vast rift yawning open.
With a heavy crash, the giant toppled, and the void itself seemed to shudder.
"Wahaha! That's what you get for underestimating me!"
Beerus burst out laughing.
A heartbeat later, a tide of demonic power erupted—fury made manifest. Gravity spiked so hard Goku, Whis, and Beerus nearly buckled. Their faces drained of color.
"You idiot!"
Goku glared at Beerus, itching to pummel him. "You know it's unbeatable and you still attack? Trying to get us all killed?!"
"You… hit me just now…"
The titan rose slowly. His enormous eyes fixed on Beerus, filling with boundless wrath. Killing intent billowed as he rumbled, "I'm going to crush… you… with one slap."
"What—no injuries?!"
Beerus' heart lurched.
Wind howled. A hand like a sky-supporting pillar swept down to cover the void. Space shattered under the pressure. The arc of the strike encompassed Goku and Whis as well.
"Damn!"
Goku didn't hold back. In a flash he became a Super Saiyan God, red ki flames roaring as he shot up to meet the blow.
"Alas… Lord Beerus is far too reckless," Whis sighed, unleashing his full divinity as he soared to intercept.
"Hahaha! That's more like it, Goku! I thought you'd gone soft!"
Beerus howled with laughter, raising his power to its limit as he streaked upward in a scarlet blur.
"Hmph. Boastful gnats. Die."
The titan's voice rolled like thunder, saturated with fury. Demonic power shook the universe.
It happened too fast. His black eyes flared—and the falling palm erased the surrounding space to dust.
Three specks braced against a descending world. They met the blow head-on.
The detonation seemed to echo through every corner of the cosmos. Shockwaves ripped the void; space within ten thousand miles collapsed into gaping scars like hungry mouths devouring everything.
The universe boiled under a pall of death. All beings quailed. Souls trembled. It felt like the end.
Blood sprayed. In only a few breaths, the trio buckled beneath the palm. With a thunderous crash, they were swatted away like flies, plummeting like meteors.
With a single slap, the undying titan proved nearly unbeatable—bearing the posture of true invincibility.
"So strong…"
Goku tumbled for thousands of miles before he could steady himself. His body was a ruin—bones cracked, blood streaming. But beneath a layer of divine light, his wounds knit visibly as his regeneration raced to catch up.
Whis and Beerus had no such advantage. Lacking Goku's undying body, they were shattered by that single blow—bones broken, bodies drenched in blood, drifting helplessly in the void.
"Damn… I didn't expect it to be this powerful…"
Beerus floated weakly, voice thick with shock and unwillingness.
"That thing is absolutely Sovereign tier—far beyond anything we can handle," Whis said, face grave. "It's several steps above us. The Sovereign level is a different universe entirely. We're lucky it just broke free and hasn't recovered its peak. Otherwise, we'd already be meeting Lord Zeno."
