Arhenahin stares right into Tiias' essence, unnerving him. "Akuma..."

Tiias clenches at the mention of that name. "Not yet, Arhenahin, but soon! SOON, I WILL KILL YOU!"

"Stolen power will not allow you to win," Arhenahin says, no anger in his voice. "You will pay the price. The form you possess is below us..."

"'Us'?" Tiias asks. Arhenahin squints at Tiias, a bunch of shorter, godly beings surrounding him. "These ones control different aspects of nature itself, the Metempiric Space. They are my assistants, the ones above Tier Sixes, but below me..."

Tiias lets out a roar, launching a full power energy blast at Arhenahin. "Your death... is NOW!"

Time and space warps around Arhenahin, as Tiias is launched back by his own force, being sent flying.

"What did he do?!" Gohan asks, shocked.

"As long as he is hit with his own force," Goku says, getting up, "then that means he cannot absorb it... That's a clever idea..."

"Allow us to commence our legendary battle!" Tiias says, zooming up into the Metempiric Space above all of them. "The second one, and this time, I will claim my victory!"

Arhenahin points his finger up at him, the gods around him at the ready. "Go, Tier Sevens."

Chapter Sixteen

[Music: Two Steps From Hell - Fallout (Choir)]

"Tier Sevens...?" Piccolo says, shocked. "Didn't I- no... Zalama say that Tier Sixes were the closest next to Arhenahin?"

"Even Zalama must not have known that they existed," Vegeta says, crossing his arms. "The peak of the battle begins."

Arhenahin points his finger up at Tiias, the gods around him at the ready. "Go, Tier Sevens."

Light gathers around the gods surrounding him, as they rip through different planes of reality, their shapes deforming. The God of Strength brings back its arm, uppercutting Tiias. "AGHHH!"

"I can feel the force of that attack, even down here!" Sasuke says. "What speed... What power..."

The God of Speed zooms around at speeds that not even Tiias could perceive. It knocks Tiias around, a glowing blue outline around it. It flashes around at such an insane speed, that Tiias wouldn't even be able to see it.

"What's even going on anymore?" Piccolo asks, his eyes darting around. "All I see are bright flashes! I can't even see his figure!"

The God of Strength shoots forward, striking Tiias in the gut with a force so powerful, that it sends all of the fighters below back. Tiias feels his bones shatter, his essence partially torn.

He is sent flying far back, yelling. He flies forward, his wings flapping back and forth. He opens his mouth, launching a couple of massive energy blasts at them.

The God of Power takes off toward him, launching a beam that is millions of times bigger, the heat almost reaching even the fighters. Tiias feels his scales get destroyed, him being launched back again.

"A battle between the highest level of gods," Sasuke says, his eyes twitching. "To experience this... It's too great for a mortal's eyes."

A bunch of angels come flying down onto Tiias. They surround Tiias, him unable to move again. The God of Strength coats its body in this blue flame, as it spins around, slamming Tiias with a kick.

Tiias spews blood out of his mouth, feeling weakened. He is then launched back, one of his wings being ripped off. The God of Power, Strength, and Speed do a combo attack, destroying Tiias' very body.

He flies all the way down onto the platform, shattering it completely. He continues to be knocked around by the many Tier Sevens, trying his best to adapt to their powers.

"Yo," Saitama says, "I think I just peed my pants."

"The God of Strength, Speed, and Power," Arhenahin thinks. "If he manages to surpass them, that means he surpasses all three of those properties. He will transcend Strength, Speed, and power itself..."

The God of Heat appears behind Tiias, tapping its staff on him. Suddenly, Tiias feels a point of infinite heat in his heart. He collapses, coughing a ton of blood onto the ground, panting heavily.

He manages to get up, as he lets out a loud roar, his eyes glowing brightly. A energy twister forms around him, as lighting strikes around the Metempiric Space. He enters his True Dragon form, being even bigger than Piccolo/Zalama's.

The God of Cold launches at him, launching a spear that freezes Tiias completely to a point of infinite negative temperature, being infinitely colder than absolute zero degrees. The very fabric of reality loses its form around Tiias.

Tiias manages to break out of it, grunting. He shakes the frost off of him, as he takes off toward the God of Cold, roaring. He slams it in the face with a punch, sending it back.

He then spins around, launching a gigantic beam that consumes the God of Heat, sending it flying as well. He pants heavily, as he charges a massive energy sphere, launching it at the God of Power. "DIE!"

The God of Power launches an even bigger blast that consumes Tiias, his scales and skin being destroyed. He grunts, struggling against the Tier Sevens

The God of Time then presses its hands together. Suddenly, Tiias begins to reverse, the fighters watching in shock. Tiias reverts back down to his Voidic Being self, being just as weak as when the war first started.

"NOW'S MY CHANCEEE!" Piccolo says. He takes off toward Tiias, slamming his staff down onto him. Tiias feels his body shut down, as he is launched downward through Omniverses, explosions and shockwaves happening everywhere.

The God of Speed zooms behind Tiias in an instant, kicking him up toward the God of Strength. The God of Strength slams Tiias in the stomach, before tossing him over to the God of Power like a ragdoll.

The God of Power yells, launching a gigantic glowing white beam that begins to eradicate Tiias. A massive explosion splits the multicolored clouds, everyone in shock.

"He... He did it..." Vegeta says, his eyes as wide as they could ever be. "There's no way he could've survived after being weakened to that state!"

Suddenly, there'd be a bright flash of lightning, sending fragments and debris everywhere. Tiias looks up at them, twitching, a crazy smile on his face. "Is that all...?"

Time goes forward on his body at an insane pace, as he evolves to a state further than he previously did, since his body went ahead of time a little. He lets out a roar, wind being shot everywhere.

The God of Power, Strength, Speed, Heat, and Cold all launch at him, launching a combined attack. Tiias looks up, his eyes a fiery blue. He walks forward, as he zooms across them, sending all of them flying.

"Wh-WHAT?!" Gohan yells, his hands and eyes twitching.

"As I expected," Arhenahin thinks. "I predicted he would adapt to their powers..."

The God of Strength takes off after him as fast as he can. It swings a punch, but an invisible shield blocks it. It barrages Tiias at crazy speeds, but Tiias is just blocking its attacks without even moving his torso.

"He's... He's entered Omni Evolution!" Goku says, sweating. "He's mastered it even more than we have!"

The God of Power launches a massive beam at Tiias, but he slaps it away, it causing a massive explosion in the distance. The God of Speed zooms around Tiias, attempting to barrage him from every angle.

Tiias dodges it, a faint purple aura around him, having stolen Dyspo's Light Speed Mode. Tiias mauls it away, injuring it. He launches a concentrated wave at the God of Heat and Cold, sending them flying through the remnants of the platform.

Around this time, Piccolo would have noticed blue veins going across Tiias' body, him feeling his power grow. "Hey, what is that? Something's happening to him."

"If you think that is all that they have to offer," Arhenahin says, "then you are mistaken. I will show you why they are Tier Sevens..."

Lightning strikes all five of the gods. They gain different colored auras for each. Tiias squints at them, as he lets out a roar, his wings flapping back and forth. He'd be absolutely massive in size, but that wouldn't change anything.

The God of Strength would be first. It launches at Tiias, as he slams him down on the head, sending him spiraling through quintillions of Omniverses, causing a ton of destruction.

In a split second, the God of Speed would have barraged Tiias so fast, that it would have shattered through layers of reality, causing dimensions to become unstable. Tiias begins to glow brightly from the energy of the attacks, as his scales explode off, causing a massive hypernova explosion.

The God of Cold freezes Tiias again completely, before the God of Heat does a massive heatwave, which causes a massive steam explosion. Tiias roars, as the steam is sent everywhere, electricity shooting around him. "Don't think that a power up is anything!"

Goku looks up at the fight, squinting. Suddenly, he'd have a flashback to hundreds of years ago, where he was a kid.

FLASHBACK - START

Goku when he was a kid would have prayed to his Grandpa Gohan's four-star Dragon Ball, telling him he would be back to get food. Young Bulma would have driven toward the area in her small car.

Son Goku would have baited a large fish into biting him with his tail, then killing it to get food. He would have then come across Bulma, who nearly ran him over. He'd have gotten angry and called her a witch.

He picked up Bulma's car, throwing it across the road. Bulma would have gotten out, attempting to kill Goku with a gun, but it only hurt him. They would have then gone off together to go get the Dragon Balls.

FLASHBACK - END

Goku's eyes widen, back in the present day. "Wh... why am I having these flashbacks...?"

Shockwaves travel throughout the air at an insane pace, Tiias launching a stream of blue fire which sends the five Tier Sevens flying.

Twenty Tier Sixes join in the battle, as colors of light shoot everywhere. Tiias pushes his hand outward, using the force of Celestial Essence to send all of them flying.

Tiias zooms forward, him turning into a bright trail. The gods shoot after him as well, as all of the trails clash back and forth, spinning. It'd almost be like super massive fireworks.

The God of Strength yells, swinging a full power punch into Tiias. Tiias is sent flying, as the God of Speed kicks him up. Tiias lets out a roar, launching a massive glowing white beam that damages all of the gods.

Arhenahin squints at Tiias, who is knocking the gods away, getting even stronger. "The lines on his body..."

The blue cracks going throughout Tiias' body would start to glow more and more, as he'd begin to vibrate. "This is not good..."

Tiias begins to burst with power, the cracks on his body widening. He slams the Tier Sevens and Sixes, sending them crashing through dimensions, destroying many of them. His eyes begin to glow brightly, flickering.

The Tier Sevens vanish above him, as they'd begin to charge a massive combined attack. "ARHENAHIN: Itsutsu no kami! Itsutsu no pointoburasuto!"

The ultimate Tier Seven beam shoots out of the point, as it heads for Tiias, melting through reality. Tiias glares up at it, as it explodes in front of him. This would shock all of the fighters.

Vegeta clenches his fists, his arms shaking. "H-HOW?! How did he adapt that fast?!"

Tiias chuckles, looking down at Arhenahin. "IT'S YOUR TURN, ARHENAHIN! PREPARE TO DIE!"

He takes off toward Arhenahin, roaring loudly. He attempts to bite down onto him, but Arhenahin presses his staff against him, him being unable to move.

"The Arhenahin Arts..." Piccolo says, closing his eyes. "Arhenahin himself did create these techniques. Therefore, he is the only one who has been able to fully master it. Tiias is done for..."

"Wh-What?!" Tiias says, trying to move. "What is this... insane power?!"

Arhenahin taps him again, as he is sent flying through part of the Metempiric Space, somehow not hitting a single Omniverse. Then, a glowing light engulfs him, as pillars of light hit him from every angle.

Tiias coughs up blood, shaking. "WH... WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO ABSORB HIS ATTACKS?!"

"K... That's..." Gohan says, unable to comprehend what is happening. "God is powerful...!"

Arhenahin vanishes above him, as an orb appears behind Tiias. "It is time I send you back to where you belong, Akuma. And, that is... Hell." The orb closes in on Tiias, as there'd be a massive light ray, followed with a plasma explosion.

There'd be nothing but multicolored blood in the air left. Arhenahin lowers his staff. "I have destroyed his essence. He should be of no threat any more."

"Th-This is the power of God?!" Sasuke asks himself, shocked. "I cannot even... comprehend..."

"Did... Did we win?" Vegeta asks, powering down back into his base form, exhausted. "There's no way that Tiias could survive an attack of that level."

The God of Strength, Power, Speed, Cold, and Heat all vanish in front of Arhenahin one by one, kneeling. They'd be low on energy, as Arhenahin nods toward them.

Naruto grunts, getting up off of the ground. "I-I see... Damn... I'm an idiot... I missed the entire fight, and I let my friends down..."

Sasuke helps him up. "It's fine. How's the Nine Tails?"

"Kurama's out cold," Naruto responds. "Tiias nearly destroyed him, but I was able to stop it in time."

"He's not dead," Goku suddenly says, shocking everyone, even catching Arhenahin's attention.

"What do you mean, dad?" Gohan asks him, limping over to him. "God killed him!"

"You've sensed it too, haven't you?" Goku asks Arhenahin, looking up at the cosmos.

Arhenahin squints at him, looking up again. "Interesting, he is able to detect it very well..."

[Music: Two Steps From Hell Nemesis - Nemesis]

Suddenly, the cosmos begins to crash down, as a bright light pulsates from the center of the area. All of the fighters except for Arhenahin are knocked back, yelling.

Pillars of light shoot everywhere, as they flicker white and black at a rapid pace. Multicolored electricity surrounds them, as the clouds of the Metempiric Space get blown back.

Explosions travel across the Metempiric Space, defying logic itself. Tiias towers over them in his full dragon form. The blue cracks across his body begin to break it apart. He lets out an ear-piercing roar, as his body bursts, the cracks finally breaking through.

Pure blue light shoots from him, as a being walks forward, electricity and glowing lights revolving around it. Arhenahin clenches his hand on his staff, squinting. "He's entered it."

A dark being walks forward on the very fabric of reality. It'd have a glowing orange and pink aura around it. It'd have symbols across its body, as it'd no longer be in the form of a dragon.

The Tier Sixes and Sevens launch at the figure at full speed, launching a combined attack. The beam is erased, as a slice goes through all of them without the dark figure moving, destroying them.

Akuma twitches, as he'd be kind of a mixture of a demon, dragon, and a Voidic Being. Celestial Essence shoots around him, as he looks up at Akuma, having every type of eye possible fused into one.

"I see everything..." Akuma says. "I have finally returned... I am no longer in that pitiful shell of a body..." He looks down at his hands, as they'd be pulsating with energy.

[Music: Descending Outland - [Various Artists - Topic]]

He looks up at Arhenahin across from him. He'd have been turned into a god, a god beyond what he was before. "I have obtained every single power... I have obtained... the Complete Arsenal!"

"Complete Arsenal?" Beerus asks. "What is that?"

"It was a rumor, but the Zalama in me thought it was a myth," Piccolo says, sweating. "The Complete Arsenal... It's every single technique possible aside from Arhenahin's. He has access to all types of powers."

"Every technique possible?" Pan asks, looking up at Akuma. "That's bad... That means... he has a counter for everything!"

Akuma begins to levitate forward toward Arhenahin. "Tiers... What a joke! You have failed to project your own creations, Arhenahin, or should I say... 'God'... It's time I kill you..."

A glowing sword materializes into his hand. He suddenly blinks in front of Arhenahin, swinging his sword at him. He roars, as he clashes with Arhenahin's staff, sending everybody flying.

Akuma and Arhenahin stare into each other's eyes, them vibrating. Akuma attempts to erase him, but it doesn't work. Arhenahin places a hand on his chest, as a pulse comes from it.

Akuma is launched back so fast, that he is able to go through part of the Metempiric Space. He grunts, managing to stop himself. "As expected from Arhenahin... Quite powerful..."

Akuma looks up, as he takes off toward him at full speed, being far faster than Tiias was. He begins to barrage Arhenahin with his sword rapidly. Arhenahin dodges and blocks his strikes with ease.

He then taps Akuma on the head with his staff, sending him flying downward. Akuma grunts, managing to stop himself. He launches Hakai orbs at Arhenahin, who deflects them with ease.

Akuma then raises his hands, launching many energy streams toward Arhenahin. He zooms around, as he'd have access to every Devil Fruit, every Quirk, every Stand, everything.

He manipulates anti-matter and matter to attack Arhenahin. He spreads it apart to tear apart Arhenahin. He then solidifies the reality around him, launching massive chunks of it at Arhenahin.

Arhenahin reforms, as he blocks the chunks, sending them flying. He launches at Akuma, sending him flying and crashing through dimensions. He then uses the Byakugan to see Arhenahin's pressure points.

Akuma vanishes in front of Arhenahin, closing his pressure points, before kicking him back. Arhenahin's pressure points open back up, almost as if he is made of rubber, but he is basically made out of light.

"There's no way you could beat somebody with that power," Whis says, sweat going down the side of his face. "God is made out of light, meaning he is very difficult to harm, if not impossible."

"This fight is absolutely insane!" Ichigo says, trying to keep his balance from the force of the fighting. "They're on a level far above us!"

"We have hope!" Natsu says, having been injured by Tiias earlier. "Kch... Come on, take him down!"

Shockwaves shoot through the air at hyperspeeds. Akuma and Arhenahin clash blow after blow, space and time splitting apart. Akuma swings a heavy punch at Arhenahin, who dodges it.

Arhenahin then raises his hand, chopping him down toward the area. An explosion takes place, as Akuma gets up, grunting. He lets out a roar, launching back up at Arhenahin.

"He has nigh Omnipotence," one of the Tier Sixes say. "It's near Omnipotence, but... it's not quite..."

Akuma launches an energy beam that'd have infinite accuracy. Arhenahin slams his fist into it, launching it back at Akuma. Akuma yells, as he is consumed by it, flying back.

Akuma launches darkness arcs at Arhenahin, which attempt to slice him in half. Arhenahin counters it with light arcs, them canceling each other out.

"The final battle will end in my victory..." Akuma says, his sword beginning to glow. "Let's continue..."

He takes off toward Arhenahin, swinging it at him, and it connects.
