Nygyn places a hand on his shoulder. "Restitutio." Suddenly, Goku's body repairs itself, as he is completely restored. "Huh...? What was that? It was like a Senzu bean."

"It is a technique that allows you to restore yourself or somebody else once a day," Nygyn explains. "In battle, you have to be certain who you wish to restore, as it could decide your fates."

He turns toward the rest of them. "This training will only intensify from here. Piccolo, you shouldn't just stand idly there. Help me train them."

Piccolo nods. "I suspected you were going to ask that. Fine. Let's begin."

Goku looks off into the blank distance and smiles. Gohan walks over to him. "What are you thinking of?"

"I'm excited about Vegeta's return," Goku says. "We have to train and get stronger, so we can protect everybody from the threat."

Gohan chuckles. "Yeah, I agree." Nygyn walks over to them. "I have shown you multiple techniques today. There is still more to teach that could benefit you greatly. We're in on this together."

Piccolo taps his staff, and suddenly, Goku and Gohan are given weights that knock them to the ground, causing them to grunt. "Let's begin your real training and enhance your power. I don't want to see you slacking off."

Goku struggles to get up onto his arms. "Oh, man... This is going to be a tough challenge..."

Gohan laughs, then groans. "Yeah... I have a feeling the power jump after this is going to be greater than we ever had before."

Chapter Five

They'd be in there for billions of years so far. Goku and Gohan would be getting a lot stronger than before, jumping up a level after level. Piccolo and Nygyn would give them even heavier weights every time they adapt to the previous ones.

Shock waves would be appearing everywhere at once, even faster than before. Goku and Gohan would be working together to take on Nygyn. He studies the two warriors' movements, especially Goku's Grand Priest powers.

"The gods of your Omniverse are very unique," Nygyn says. "Your Omniverse has a set of special types of energies, one of them being Destruction energy."

Goku blocks a punch from him and nods. "Yeah, the one the Gods of Destruction use. That power is completely irrelevant to the higher tier enemies."

"I wouldn't say that," Nygyn replies, surprising Goku and Gohan. "What they tapped into was a very watered-down version of its true potential. Your Zeno, like all others, created your multiverse and were all created by your Founder, Ahton. He provided them with Destruction energy, yet not even he knew that he was just giving them a tiny bit of what it truly is."

"So, you're telling me that all this time, the Gods of Destruction, the angels, Daishinkan, and Zeno have been carrying a small portion of this power?" Goku asks, shocked.

Nygyn nods. "That's correct. You have to realize that no matter how weak one may seem over time, they are still gods. Every Omniverse contains a set of extraordinary powers. Rather than seek the power above, sometimes you should seek it at your very roots."

He hovers down to the ground. "For googolplexians of years, we gods have seen everything. We have come up with many theories and explanations, and over the years, we have been getting closer and closer to the truth that Arhenahin has hidden."

His body begins to glow as a purple outline surrounds it. "This is what your Gods of Destruction use, correct?"

Gohan nods in confirmation. "Yeah... I still can't believe that Destruction energy is the watered-down version of it. What is its true name?"

"It has been called many names for a significant amount of time," Nygyn says. The purple aura begins to turn dark red, and rays of energy shoot off into the heavens. "Have you seen this state before?"

Flashback

Beerus turns around, smirking. "You aren't a true God of Destruction, Vegeta. I have evolved the power of Destruction."

Vegeta growls as he flies up to Beerus, roaring. His hair flashes dark blue as he enters the Super Saiyan Blue Evolution state. "Think you can keep up with me, Beerus?"

Beerus smirks. "That's Lord Beerus to you."

Both of them roar as they fly toward the Rogue, side by side.

Goku nods. "I have. Lord Beerus has evolved his state beyond the normal level, but he hasn't gone any further than that. I don't think he tried, since he became the Grand Priest."

Nygyn would be impressed. "I was honestly expecting you to say you haven't seen this form before. However..." He begins to charge up and shatters reality around them through thousands of layers."

Rays and pillars of energy shoot out of the ground around them. "Please, never tell Lord Arhenahin I am showing this to you."

"You fool!" Piccolo yells. "Are you insane?! Arhenahin strictly prohibits using any of that power! You know what the punishment can be if you do that!"

"I know!" Nygyn replies. "I must show them this for the sake of everything! If we lose, there won't even be Arhenahin around to punish me in the first place!"

His aura turns dark black with red streaks, and the solid galactic floor breaks under them, and he exhales, then looks up at them. He would be in a forbidden transformation. "Behold... one of the dark secrets of the Metempiric Space: Verum Hakai energy. It is the one form the gods avoid at all costs."

He gets into a stance, and his hand begins to glow, sending energy waves so powerful that it risks being detected by the higher-ups. "There is one secret that Arhenahin forced a couple of the gods to keep secret, and I am one of them. Should truth get out about this form, it would end up being worse than the new threat..."

Gohan would be getting nervous. "And you're telling me... You are showing it here? What could be so bad about this power?"

"Not every god is good," Nygyn explains. "There are bad ones, too. It's something else Arhenahin hides. His wish is to rid the existence of all evil and bring peace. Should information of the form spread, it could spell a war, unlike anything you have ever seen. It would force the lord himself to intervene."

He raises his hand. "Piccolo, create a reality in here."

Piccolo snaps, and millions of Omniverses form in an instant, hovering above them. "This power is dangerous. However, the gods have come up with a theory that if it combines itself with God Essence, the energy of Arhenahin himself, it could create something of a balance, and allow you even to surpass the lord himself."

He raises his hand, which was charging an attack earlier. "It is like matter colliding with anti-matter. They cancel each other out. However, if one is stronger than the other, it will take over. HAKAI."

A pulse shoots from his hand, and Goku, Gohan, and even Piccolo are sent back. A shock wave destroys a big chunk of the dimension, and black electricity breaks the bounds of existence.

The Omniverses are disintegrated into dust, leaving nothing behind, not even to the subatomic levels. The three of them would be shocked at this sort of power in the hands of a mere Tier Five.

"That's impossible..." Gohan says. "This power is incomprehensible. It's too dangerous."

Nygyn sighs and powers down. "You must never allow Lord Arhenahin to find out about this."

"What really are you?" Piccolo asks him, walking forward. "You are not a Tier Five. Explain the truth of who you really are!" He raises his hand and charges a blast. "With that power, you could have annihilated Tiias before he transformed into Akuma!"

"I chose not to," Nygyn replies. "Even if existence was at stake, I knew that I had to trust the others to do the job instead. I couldn't risk displaying my true power."

Piccolo zooms forward and slams him on the ground, sending wind blasting in every direction. "Answer my question! Are you friend or foe?!"

Nygyn squints, and in a flash, Piccolo is sent flying across the dimension, skidding back. "Gch!"

"I am what you make of me," Nygyn says. "I have been demoted to a Tier Five long ago."

Piccolo gets up, summoning his staff. "Are you a Tier Six? Seven?!"

"No," Nygyn replies. "I was once a... Tier Eight, the now-defunct set of gods."

There would be complete silence. Piccolo vanishes in front of him and grabs him by the collar. "You're lying. It only goes up to Tier Seven!"

"It does now," Nygyn agrees. "However, there used to be a final set of gods, the ones below Arhenahin himself. Of course, they were disbanded, and Arhenahin has banned mention of it again."

"Why does Arhenahin hide so much?" Gohan asks, walking forward toward the two. "I can only come to one conclusion: Akuma must've been a Tier Eight, then."

Nygyn knocks Piccolo back. "That's right... He killed many before making the mistake of trying to kill Arhenahin and was banished to the void. However, that is what you believe."

"He told me himself," Goku objects. "He told me the full story himself about the creation of Akuma."

Nygyn laughs. "He left out many parts, Son Goku, including who Akuma's associates were, and his followers."

Once again, there is silence for a brief period of time. Nygyn would be the first to speak up. "I... was one of Akuma's associates, so was somebody else. His name is-"

Piccolo powers up and roars, entering his Divine Namekian form. He zooms forward and swings a punch toward Nygyn. He blocks it with one arm, growling. "Let me finish! Do not treat me as an enemy, Dragon God!"

He waves his hand, and Piccolo is sent back, skidding. "You let Akuma kill you during the battle, didn't you?!"

FLASHBACK

Tiias shoots up into the air in a flash, looking down at them. He growls as he zooms across the area faster than anyone could process. He snatches up Nygyn in his mouth, instantly killing him.

It would take a moment for everybody to process what just happened, as everyone would be in disbelief. Tiias zooms across the area, snatching up hundreds in his mouth, and absorbing their powers, killing them.

Nygyn clenches his fists. "That's right... I did not want anybody else to know my true power. He killed me without a second thought. He wanted to kill Arhenahin, and we argued. That is what stopped me from supporting him. I was blind and was hungry for power. Now, I see the truth."

Piccolo sighs, powering down. "You're a fool... Your own selfish desires nearly caused everybody to get killed by Akuma. If it weren't for Goku's form, we would not be here today. You could've stopped it, yet you didn't."

Nygyn gets irritated. "I could've stopped it? Arhenahin could've, too. He could've come as soon as Tiias came and killed him on the spot."

Piccolo grunts, crossing his arms. "I still don't trust you, Nygyn. You have betrayed the trust of the gods. Arhenahin must've known about you. You're lucky he didn't destroy you as soon as he knew about your affiliation with Akuma."

Nygyn sighs, closing his eyes. "I'm sorry... I've already overwhelmed you with enough information these past years. I'll be back later. You can continue the training, for now, Piccolo."

He vanishes away, leaving the three of them alone, in disbelief over what just happened.

"Everything has a far deeper meaning than I previously thought," Gohan says. "Verum Hakai? Surpass Arhenahin? Anti-Gods? Tier Eights? Akuma's followers and associates? What is going on here?"

Goku and Gohan turn toward a silent Piccolo. He sighs. "Zalama already knew about Verum Hakai and the anti-gods, but nothing else."

Suddenly, the dimension completely begins to shatter, and all three of them are sent flying. A figure appears from the shadows, some illusion. "Ah... Finally, I am close enough to appear in my weakened state..."

Piccolo presses his hands together to stabilize the dimension and start reforming it. "Who are you?! Wait-... you must be the threat!"

"Indeed, I am," Furouxa says, smoke wisping off of him. "I see Arhenahin has created his own little reality. How cute. I assume you are his slaves?"

Goku grunts and gets into a stance. "Leave our reality alone!"

Furouxa laughs. "I should perhaps eradicate the annoying ones, such as yourself before I arrive."

"Why are you here?" Piccolo asks. "Bastard! You are challenging God himself!"

Furouxa pretends to be nervous. "Oh, no! Arhenahin!" He laughs. "So, he decides to be that pretentious? You don't know half the truth..."

Goku yells and powers up into Omni Evolution, using his Daishinkan and Blessing powers with it. "I don't care if we don't know half the truth! I will not allow you to destroy everything!"

He shoots forward toward Furouxa and yells, swinging a punch. It lands on his face and sends him skidding back. "Grrr... That was nothing, you pest..."

He flickers, and Goku is sent crashing through the ground, breaking through dimensions. He coughs up blood as Piccolo launches forward toward him. His staff glows as he slams it into the god.

Furouxa is sent back, grunting. "I am not even half a percentage of my power. Even if you defeat me now, I will be back to return the favor..."

He zooms forward at insane speeds, kicking Piccolo in the gut. He coughs up spit, then growls, kicking Furouxa. He then summons a large dragon that comes toward the evil god.

It would have glowing red eyes. It would be one of the same techniques Zalama had used to try and dispose of Tiias. It roars and bites down on Furouxa. "AGHHH!"

He is sent skidding back. He then punches the dragon on the snout, sending a shock wave. The dragon is knocked back then launches back toward him. "Hmph... You think you are the Dragon God?"

He glares at the dragon, and it stops, shaking in fear. "Don't forget, the Void itself created me. I have control over all life forms..."

The dragon runs toward Piccolo and hides behind him, trembling. Piccolo sighs and heals it, then dismissing it. "I don't like it when you traumatize my dragons."

He suddenly leaps forward and already has a hand on Furouxa's chest, shocking him. "You piss me off..." His hand pulses. "Arhenahin: Diaboli!"

Markings spread across Furouxa's body and bind him. He growls. "What is this?! Let me go!"

"It's over," Piccolo says, lowering his hand. "We shouldn't have to worry about Furouxa anymore. He's sealed with a very high-level technique. I will bring him to Arhenahin, and he will handle the situation."

Furouxa grunts and struggles against his bonds, but nothing happens. "Don't think this is over, fool!"

"I think it is over," Piccolo says. "You're in the domain of God. You have nowhere to run. You made a mistake coming here in your weakened form. You underestimated us."

There would be silence, and Furouxa laughs, it echoing through the dimension. "You really think you can take me down that easily? Funny... Jashin no tekunikku: Basem Datorum."

The seal is undone, and everybody would be in complete shock. Sweat goes down the side of Piccolo's face. "That technique... That's..."

FLASHBACK

"How were you able to counter the Arhenahin techniques?!" Vegeta asks, grunting.

Tiias chuckles at his 'stupidity.' "My friend... You believe the Arhenahin techniques are the strongest...? I have created a polar opposite called the Jashin no Tekunikku. The Arhenahin techniques defeated me, so I created my own version..."

Goku and Tiias take off toward one another, bringing back their palms.

"Arhenahin: Pulsus!" Goku yells, swinging his palm at Tiias.

"Jashin no Tekunikku: Gaudete!" Tiias yells, swinging his palm at Goku, using a very similar technique.

Both the Arhenahin and the Jashin no Tekunikku technique clash together, causing a gigantic shockwave that nearly destroys every Omniverse near them. "HAAAA!"

"Who are you?!" Goku asks, recalling the moment that Tiias used Jashin no Tekunikku. "How do you know Akuma's techniques? Are you one of his associates?!"

Furouxa laughs. "Akuma...? I'm not an associate of his... I was just created. Maybe you'll find out who I really am..."

He vanishes, leaving the three of them alone. Piccolo glances toward Goku and Gohan. "He was that strong, despite being in a weakened state. We really need to continue training. When Nygyn gets back, he'll teach you some of the Arhenahin techniques. For now..." He snaps and gives them weights that knock them to the ground. "You need to become even stronger."

Many outside days later, in the dimension, Furouxa would almost be to the Metempiric Space. The gods prepare for their biggest battle yet. They would all train to get strong enough to defeat this new threat.

Now, the battle will begin. How will it end?

Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Nygyn would be finishing up their training. Suddenly, the God of Speed appears and walks forward. "It is time. Furouxa is near. Let's go to the area Arhenahin has created."

He takes them out of the dimension and to Arhenahin's palace. Everybody would be in full battle armor. Goku looks over to see a large crowd form in front of Arhenahin's throne, and the five of them walk over.

Arhenahin taps his staff, and all of the gods stop talking and look up at him. "Thank you all for gathering with me today to fight. This will likely be the greatest battle the Metempiric Space has seen yet. Do not drop your guard, no matter what. We will win this together."

The God of Time, Heat, Cold, Speed, and Strength gather around them. "Ever since the defeat of Akuma, I decided to reveal a secret group of Tier Sevens to the gods. They are the most powerful elite force, and today, I would like to promote three of you to that position."

Some of the gods start muttering to one another, and Arhenahin's eyes drift to Goku. "Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Dragon God Piccolo, will you accept the position of a Tier Seven? I have seen you three train, and you have impressed me beyond belief."

The three of them would be surprised as Nygyn nods toward them. "Congratulations."

Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo, step forward. "We accept."

There would be some clapping from the crowd as they take a step in front of Arhenahin's throne. He walks down and smiles at them. He taps his staff, and they feel a light engulf them. "You are now officially promoted to Tier Sevens. Allow us to head to the battlefield."

He walks over to their side and places a hand on the wall, a MASSIVE portal opening up. "We must not allow mortals to interfere. I have learned my lesson from the battle with Akuma, and many of them have fallen. We must do this alone."

He walks through, and the gods follow him as a massive army, going through the portal as well. "Work together, and we will pull this off!"

To Be Continued in Chapter Six

The battle will commence! Just know, this battle will not mean the end of the FanFiction. I still have many ideas in store for later on. I hope you enjoyed this latest chapter!

I will see ya soon!
