Previously on Dragon Ball Super: After Broly
Daishinkan clenches his fists, and a bright light shoots from him. He'd enter a state of Angelic Ki only the angels would know about. Goku gasps, sweat going down his face. "That power... It's like a more mastered state of Angelic Ki, it's far more energetic, and... It's a different power."
"Only the Grand Priest is able to use this technique," Whis says. "It requires a pure heart, which the evil gods do not have. It's a state similar to Primal Instinct, but without the Super Saiyan Ki. It's the next level, one day you might be able to learn it."
"So this is what we have to strive for," Vegeta says. He smirks, cracking his knuckles. "I'll unlock it..."
The Grand Priestess would be in complete shock, then clenches her fists. "Tch... damn you...!"
In an instant, faster than anyone can see, Daishinkan would have kicked the Grand Priestess back, causing her to cough up a lot of blood. She is sent back, crashing into a rock.
Abysus lands back on Earth, panting heavily. "I survived..." He vanishes next to the injured Daisaishi. "Grand Priestess, we must do it, now!"
The Grand Priestess nods, and Abysus takes out a Potara earring, putting it on. "Let's finish this, together."
A bright light consumes them, lighting up the entire multiverse.
Chapter Twenty-One
The universe is wrapped in white and dark flashes as pillars of pure energy explode from the Earth. The multiverse trembles beneath massive collisions of energy that move towards one spot.
The cause of this is a horrific sight for any. Before anybody can react, the two figures become one.
The wind becomes wild and electricity dances around the land as the figure is born. All who stand before it remain in a state of awe, fear, and regret. The figure solidifies its shape and becomes one.
Its energy is massive. Untoppable. Unstoppable. None can hold even a candle to it. Then, with a bright flash, everything returns to normal. Daishinkan can only stare in silence. The figure only looks away without care.
The voice that emerges is angelic and powerful. "My name... is Abysia, not that it will matter," he says as he turns, his eyes narrowed. Clouds of energy form around them both. "As this... is the end for you."
Jiren, Frieza, Broly, and a couple of others fly to the fight, Jiren having been converted back to the good side.
Whis would have been teaching the five fighters the technique while the entire fight had been going down. They'd start to understand the dance.
Suddenly, the two gods zoom forward, clashing elbows. They begin to go back and forth in hand-to-hand combat. Each impact causing shock waves to travel across the multiverse.
The power would be so great, that even the Zenos would notice and be confused by the disruption. They'd be playing a game together.
"What's that? Should we go check?" Zeno asks his counterpart.
The two then look at each other for a moment, then smile. "Nah." They continue to play their game.
The two gods continue to clash, but Abysia would clearly have the upper hand. He brings back his fist, and slams it onto the Grand Priest's face, sending him flying. "Nngh!"
He crashes onto the ground, then immediately gets back up. He runs forward, then launches toward him, the fight continuing. The ground shatters, and the Earth would continue to crumble under their feet.
"Gck... This is a battle of the highest level of gods," Gohan says. "This is insane... I can't even see them."
Abysia continues to barrage Daishinkan mercilessly, being too fast for even him to dodge. "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!" He slams his fist into his gut, causing him to cough up blood. "AGHH!"
He then kicks him multiple times, then continues to slam punches into his gut, further injuring him. He roars, mauling him to the ground. "DIE!"
Daishinkan falls to his knees, panting. Whis tries to rush over to help him, but Daishinkan raises his hand. "Stand back... I still have one more technique left to show..."
He turns toward the fighters. "I apologize for what you are about to witness." He hands, putting them in a position similar to Tien's Ki-Ko-Ho. He begins to shine so brightly, he outshines the Sun. All of the fighters are forced to look away.
Daishinkan closes his eyes. "I am the attendant of the Omni King. I will not allow you to lay a finger on him." Endless energy gathers into his fist, and all of the universes start to grow darker.
Goku gasps, his eyes wide. "Just how much energy is he gathering from the multiverse? He's taking so much!"
Daishinkan's robes begin to levitate, and his eyes glow. A miniature universe forms around him, and galaxies orbit around him. "It's time to end this right now! ALMIGHTY CREATION RAY!"
He swings his fist, and there'd be silence. Suddenly, a beam that has the energy of 18 universes launches out. It would be multi-colored. It'd hold the power of every planet, every star, every nebula, every black hole, every galaxy... It would be a beam never before seen by mortals.
A very concentrated bright beam shoots out of his fist, and it slams into Abysia, causing him to cough up blood. "GUCK... GAHHHHH!"
Just before an explosion happens, all of the angels, the Omni-guards, and Daishinkan create a barrier around everybody. The explosion is SO massive, that it first destroys the Earth, then the Solar System, then ten percent of all galaxies in the universe.
When the light fades, there'd be a huge tear in reality, and inside would be a glowing void similar to what Goku saw when he went to bring Future Zeno to his timeline.
Daishinkan pants heavily, and he goes back to his base form, the ring around the back of his neck disappearing. "That's going to take a while to regenerate... I was able to defeat the fusion..."
Goku lets out a sigh of relief. "We won, and..." His shoulders slump. "Everything is destroyed..."
Suddenly, there'd be a dark red light that blinds all of them for a moment. When they can see again, they see Abysia, half of his torso gone. He pants heavily, as he is regenerating. "That almost killed me, you bastard!"
"I-IMPOSSIBLE!" Vegeta yells. "There's no way he could've survived an attack of that size!"
Abysia roars, and he vanishes in front of Daishinkan, slamming him on the face with a punch. His nose breaks, as he is launched across the universe, yelling.
Vegeta would clench his fists, entering Primal Instinct. "Damn you... You bastard!" The universe's current state reminds him of his nightmare, and his aura pulsates, and he grunts in rage.
Abysia laughs, and raises his finger, looking toward Trunks. "Let's start with you, child." Immediately, a Ki beam pierces through Trunks's heart, and he instantly dies. "That's another one down. Oh, boo hoo!"
The fact that his own son had died, and him thinking about his nightmare makes Vegeta snap. He roars, electricity being sent everywhere. He'd be even angrier than Goku was.
He enters a new state of Primal Instinct, now being on the same level as Goku. "You piece of shit... You will die at the hands of me!"
Vegeta launches forward at full speed, slamming a punch onto Abysia's face. However, it doesn't even do anything to phase him. "What a puny attack." He raises his fingers and flicks him back, and blood shoots out of Vegeta. "GAHHH!"
Goku transforms and manages to catch him, grunting. "Vegeta, it's now or never. If we don't fuse, we won't be able to bring everyone who has died back, including Bulma and Trunks!"
All of the angels and Omni guards launch forward toward Abysia, beginning to fight him. Whis gets into a stance, turning toward the fighters. "We will distract him while you do the fusion. Do it now!"
His aura flares up, and he joins his comrades in battle. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Broly, and Piccolo get in a circle. They then begin to perform a different dance from the Fusion Dance, and they all get drawn toward one another.
They connect, and a massive supernova burst from them, lighting up the multiverse. Their radiance is astounding beyond compare. Their size and mere power alone top at half the size of a skyscraper.
Their aura is magnificent and their power is extraordinary. "We are the birth of a Fusion beyond any other. We are five souls connected as once, born with a single purpose."
The figure turns to face Abysia, who only smirks. "And your purpose is to DIE!" He shouts and rushes at the beast of a man, only for the fusion to raise his hand and charge a powerful blast. "It's time to eradicate you!"
They fire the blast off with such power and force it can be felt across the known multiverse. Abysia can't even react to the impact, as it explodes, wrapping him in a blinding light.
When the light dims, Abysia is damaged, holding his chest. "Tch... A mortal should not have this kind of power! What kind of bullshit is this?!"
The fusion launches forward, and slams a punch into Abysia's gut, causing him to cough up blood. "GACK... What the?! That's-... That's impossible!"
They then vanish and uppercut him, sending him across the universe. Abysia is knocked around the universe, shocked. "How can this be?! Not even a 5-way mortal fusion should be able to phase me!"
The fusion then kicks him away. He puts two fingers to his head, then spreads them out. "SPECIAL FINAL MASENKAMEHAMEHA!" He launches a giant piercing beam that sends Abysia flying even further.
He then vanishes behind Abysia, kicking him up, injuring him. "OMNI-SPARK... TIMES 100!" Hundreds of rings appear above Abysaisus, each of them slamming him with giant beams.
Abysia roars, launching forward. He begins to barrage the fusion, sending him flying. He then follows it with a large beam that consumes them and sends then into a nearby galaxy.
The fusion shoots forward, bringing back his fist, it starts to glow. "FINAL SHINE DRAGON FIST!" He launches his ultimate attack, and it consumes Abysia, injuring him even further. "UGAHH!"
The warrior gets into a stance, then launches toward at Abysia at full speed, barraging him mercilessly. Abysia tries to blast him, but the fusion pushes his arm away. He then kicks Abysia on the face, sending him stumbling back.
The fusion roars, elbowing him in the gut, then kicking his knee. He flies up and launches a barrage of Ki blasts, Abysia forced to block them. "Dammit!"
He pulsates, a shock wave canceling out the remaining Ki blasts. He launches up toward the fusion, swinging a punch at him. He dodges it, grabs Abysia by the arm, and throws him.
The two continue to clash rapidly, shooting across the universe. They go back and forth, each punch and kick rattling the space-time continuum. The warrior covers his fist in energy and slams it into Abysia with full force, sending him flying back.
Abysia shouts, and he raises his hands, charing his most powerful attack. Electricity shoots across the universes, and he launches a giant beam. "DIE!"
The 5-way fusion roars, launching a Final Kamehameha that clashes with his, the two going back and forth. The warrior grunts, then yells, putting all of his power into the attack. It crashes through Abysia's beam, sending him flying back.
"It's time to end this!" The fusion launches full speed toward Abysia, slamming a kick into his gut, then... their fusion splits apart.
Of course, it isn't the warrior. He'd have used Forced Spirit Fission to split Abysus and the Grand Priestess apart, and their Potara earrings shatter, shocking them.
The fusion splits as well, and they are all left in the vast emptiness of space. Just at that moment, Daishinkan vanishes next to them and gives them a barrier, allowing them to breathe.
Abysus groans, holding his gut. "Unbelievable... My plan was perfect..." Daisaishi flickers, and all of the evil gods and dark angels separate from her, all of them fading away.
"The dark gods I have created failed," Abysus says, clenching his fists. "Tch... WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS?! Guh... I-Impossible..."
Everybody is exhausted, and all of the angels give their remaining energy to Daishinkan, replenishing him a little. He walks forward and raises his hands, creating a glowing cage around his wife and Abysus.
"It is time for you to explain the truth!" Daishinkan says. "Otherwise, you will be erased."
Abysus chuckles weakly. "We will be erased, anyway, Daishinkan... What if Zeno were to find out about this entire event...? Who says he wouldn't erase everything...?"
Daishinkan squints and raises his arms and Abysus roars in pain, his soul literally being tugged from his body before it goes back in. He pants heavily. "Hmph... I didn't know you had it in you, Daishinkan... Even if I die, who's to stop me from coming back? Hell isn't going to stop me..."
"Wait-" Goku interrupts, "I thought he was a god-"
"That's why you are going to be imprisoned for eternity," Daishinkan replies, ignoring Goku. Daisaishi turns toward her husband, glaring at him. "You are a fool, Daishinkan. If it weren't for me, the multiverse would be worse off!"
Daishinkan turns away from her. "You are right, at least back then. You used to be different, but you have changed, Grand Priesta. Stop hiding your true name. You will never heal, and you will never regain your strength. You will never be able to leave. Now, we want answers."
"Kiss my ass," Abysus says, and Daishinkan closes his eyes, sighing. He walks over to the two and places a hand on their head, a bright light consuming them. The Grand Priest reads their minds completely.
After a few minutes, he stops, walking away from the cages. "Come forth, my children." All of the angels walk forward, bowing before their father. Daishinkan raises his hand, his staff materializing in his hands.
A bright glow consumes part of the multiverse, and all of the angels use their energies. Suddenly, the damages done to the multiverse would be restored. Galaxies and star systems reform.
In front of them, all of the remaining Gods of Destruction materialize in front of them, bowing down. The balance of the multiverse would stabilize, and things would start to return to normal.
Before Whis takes the fighters back to Earth, Daishinkan goes over to them. "Wait."
All of the fighters turn toward a smiling Daishinkan. "Thanks to you, our trust in mortals is returning. You will be rewarded for your contribution." His smile fades, and he raises his hand.
A glow appears in front of him, and Omesus is teleported. He immediately looks around frantically, then toward the Grand Priest. "You... Do you think you can get rid of us forever, Daishinkan?"
Daishinkan raises his hand, and Omesus claws at his throat, being choked. "Gck... Cagh..." Daishinkan lets go, and Omesus pants. "You bastard! We mortals will return, and we will be back stronger than ever! Kill me, and two more will take my place."
Daishinkan smiles. "You have mortals, but we have mortals and gods. I also believe a certain other god is coming back." He winks at Vegeta.
Omesus laughs and places a hand on the barrier below him, a green symbol appearing under him. "I knew who the evil gods were all along... The war will be reignited, but this time, far greater... It doesn't matter who you trust, Daishinkan. Eventually, your bad decisions will come to bite you on the ass."
He flickers, and teleports away, leaving all of the fighters alone. Daishinkan closes his eyes, and he and every other angel teleports away, except for Whis.
Daishinkan awards them a wish from the Super Dragon Balls. Before they can wish everybody who died by the evil gods back, Goku gets a telepathic message from King Kai.
"Hey, Goku," King Kai says, "you have somebody who wishes to speak with you. It's your father."
Goku's eyes widen at the mention of Bardock. "Dad...? He went down Snakeway?"
Bardock places a hand on King Kai's shoulder and closes his eyes. "Kakarot, thank you for giving me the chance to meet you again. I have always dreamed of seeing you again. I am finally able to spend my time with your mother, Gine."
Goku trembles slightly. "My mother... What's she like?"
Bardock laughs at his question. "Oh, you are very much like your mother, Kakarot. I have regretted not respecting her more than I did with my time on Planet Vegeta."
Goku stares at the ground in silence, then is about to say something, but Bardock cuts him off. "Kakarot, I do not want to return to life. Now that I was able to see you and the Saiyans still alive, I feel no reason to any longer. I want to spend the rest of my time with Gine. I've become old since living on Yardrat. I am proud of you, son. We will one day meet again."
Goku turns toward Daishinkan, nodding. "I want you to bring everybody back who died, except for my dad."
Daishinkan looks up to Super Shenron and speaks in the language of the gods. "GnirB kcab lla fo eht tneconni sevil ohw evah deid yb eht live sdog, tpecxe rof s'ukoG rehtaf."
Super Shenron's eyes glow red, and he flies upward, a glowing trail following him. On Earth, the fighters who would have died get brought back. Android 18 and Trunks get up from the ground, confused.
Soon after, they all return to their respective places. Vegeta would give Frieza a good beating before Goku convinces him to let him go. Frieza escapes, enraged, and flies off to get into a ship and go build his empire again for the third time.
Broly, Cheelai, and Lemo would go to live on Earth with the others, finding it a more suitable place to live than Vampa. Cheelai and Lemo would finally warm up to Goku and the others.
Goku and Jiren shake hands. Goku smiles up at him, nodding. "It's been fun, Jiren. If you need any help, just let us know."
"Hmph," Jiren smirks, closing his eyes. "I will train and surpass you once again, Son Goku. We will have a rematch soon."
"Sounds fun," Goku agrees, and Jiren is taken away back to his universe by Belmod and Marcarita. Vegeta walks over next to Goku, watching and the two of them look at the sunny blue sky. "Kakarot, our training is far from over. Whatever state Daishinkan used, I will obtain."
Goku laughs. "You'd have to become as strong as the Grand Priest to do that, and that is no easy task, Vegeta, if not impossible."
Vegeta raises his fists, his veins becoming visible on his forehead. "Grrr... Gch... Kakarot, we are Saiyans! The Super Saiyan form was considered a legend back then, and now we are leagues above that."
Goku smiles. "Yeah, you're right. Wanna go train and perfect Primal Instinct?"
Vegeta nods, and just as they are about to leave, Whis comes over. "Oh, I am so proud of you two! You have finally gotten close to my level! I never would've thought you two could reach that level of power."
Goku chuckles, scratching the back of his head. "Maybe we can train and even surpass you, Whis!"
Whis smiles and wags his finger. "Don't underestimate an angel, Goku. It's going to take a while for you to surpass the strongest of us."
"We'll see about that," Vegeta replies.
Goku turns toward Vegeta. "Daishinkan just… left without telling us anything about the evil gods. What do you think they are hiding?"
Vegeta shakes his head. "I don't know, but I have a feeling it is big."
Goku nods and the two fly off toward the distance, Whis watching him. Beerus walks over, yawning. "Those two Saiyans are unbelievable. They went beyond my level in quite a short period of time. They have limitless potential."
He turns toward his mentor. "Let's hope they don't end up like 'those' mortals..."
Whis laughs, almost forcefully. "I don't believe so, my lord. Anyway, let's go to Bulma's and get some food." The two gods walk off. The evil gods would have been defeated by mortals and gods working together.
THE ABYSUS ARC HAS CONCLUDED
