Furouxa pants, golden blood covering him. "You won't... ugh... You won't kill me so easily, Arhenahin..."
"You are in no position to fight with me any longer," God replies, tightening his grip on his neck. "Surrender and accept your punishment."
Furouxa's energy suddenly spikes, and he kicks God off, sending him skidding back. He gets up and yells up to the heavens. "Lend me your energy, mother! I need more to defeat him!"
There would be silence, as suddenly he grows a little in size. He yells, and his aura gets brighter, and his form turns dark. Spikes grow out of his body, and he lets out a roar, a shock wave shooting across the void. "Behold... this is... the power to destroy you and your creations!"
His muscles bulk up, and he walks forward, laughing. "Akuma was nothing compared to me. Allow me to demonstrate what I can really do..."
Chapter Seven
MUSIC: Two Steps From Hell - Crusaders
Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Nygyn would be utterly stunned at Furouxa's transformation. Nygyn clenches his fists. "He's... He's using it!"
Furouxa spreads his hands and smiles, his aura illuminating the surrounding void. "Verum Hakai... This is the power you have hidden from the gods all this time, am I wrong?"
God clenches his fists, as it would confuse even the property gods. "That power... How do you have it?"
He suddenly coughs as a punch would have pierced through his chest. "What do you think would happen if all the gods found out that this power exists?"
God sends a pulse of energy, and he leaps back, unable to regenerate from the Hakai energy. "Tch... This brings back terrible memories."
Nygyn looks down, ashamed. "I apologize, my lord. I-"
"I already know you told Son Goku and Gohan about it, Nygyn," God replies. "We must not concern ourselves with that right now. We have to take down Furouxa. Nygyn, Son Goku, Gohan, I will soon need your help."
He flickers and launches forward, clashing with Furouxa. The two vanish rapidly, and the force of creation and destruction clash, energy being sent in all directions. God yells, and Furouxa is sent back a bit, growling.
He raises his fist and slams it into God's face, sending him flying back. "Your time is up, Arhenahin! Playtime is over!"
In an attosecond, God would have been hit centillions of times, coughing up golden blood. "Gck..."
He then vanishes in front of God and raises his hand to his face. "It only takes one word, and I will send you into the domain of my mother. She will eviscerate you and leave only dust left."
Goku grunts and glances toward Gohan. "Gohan, we have no choice. We have to rely on 'that' technique."
Gohan nods, and Goku places a hand on his shoulder, watching the fight from above. God tries to stand up, but Furouxa elbows him then punches him, sending him on the ground.
Furouxa punches him back and forth, injuring him further continuously. Goku closes his eyes, entering full power. "Arhenahin... Fusion!"
MUSIC: Thomas Bergersen - Immortal (2011)
Goku and Gohan combine into one entity, a pillar of light traveling across the void and shaking it. God shakily looks up and chuckles. "Good..."
Piccolo's eyes widen. "This power... It's even stronger than... Gogito!"
Gokhan would result from the fusion. He'd be in Omni Evolution combined with Mystic, Goku's Daishinkan powers, and the Blessing. "This ends now!"
He shoots forward and slams a punch into Furouxa's face, sending him flying. "AGHHHH!"
In an instant, he'd uppercut Furouxa and send him flying into the void. "Impossible... How can this be?! Mother granted me infinite power... How could a mere fusion overpower me?!"
He knocks Furouxa around and dropkicks him toward God. God gets up and coats his fist in energy and yells, slamming it into Furouxa and sending him in the opposite direction. Together, Gokhan and God would attack Furouxa side by side, overwhelming him.
Gokhan yells and launches a Masenkamehameha. Furouxa launches through it, his Verum Hakai powers countering it. He uppercuts Gokhan and sends him back. "Ghn!"
He vanishes behind Furouxa, and the two of them continue to knock Furouxa around, causing the void to shake. Nygyn watches below. "I cannot see them... They're far too fast and powerful."
Gokhan continues to knock Furouxa around then kicks him up, sending him flying. He then vanishes in his path and yells. "KAIOKEN!" He slams his leg down on Furouxa, and it breaks part of his essence.
As Furouxa is flying down, God waves his hand and creates many durable platforms that he slams through and destroys. Furouxa lands on the last one, panting. "I need more power..."
He yells, and he launches thousands of spikes toward God and Gokhan. The two maneuver around his attacks and strike him with a kick simultaneously. Gokhan nods toward God. "Now, Arhenahin!"
He nods and raises his fist. "I will put everything into this attack, so do not hold back, Goku and Gohan! ALMIGHTY..."
Gokhan yells. "TERMINUS!" He breaks his limits, and his aura explodes. It is almost too much for even Arhenahin to handle. "Arhenahin..."
God launches forward, swinging his fist. "SOMNIUM!" He uses his most potent attack, having the will to stick by everyone's side.
Gokhan zooms forward as well, throwing his punch. "... FORTE!"
Their attacks both hit Furouxa at once, and his eyes go blank. He coughs up a ton of blood and is sent flying. God yells and creates trillions of more platforms for him to crash through before he lands on the final one, immobile.
MUSIC STOP
Gokhan is defused back into Goku and Gohan, and the two would be completely exhausted. God would be as well, as he goes over to Furouxa. "We managed to win this battle. Well done, you two. Thank you."
"Restitutio!" Goku and Gohan glow as they are entirely replenished and feeling re-energized. Piccolo walks over to God and places a hand on his shoulder, using the same technique to restore him.
God lets out a deep breath. "Thank you. I will restore the Metempiric Space soon and then repair the damages." He puts a seal on Furouxa, a trail going down his body.
Suddenly, the seal explodes, sending everyone flying. Furouxa roars, and red and black electricity shoot off everywhere. His power rises to such vast amounts that it brings everybody onto their knees with its pressure.
He yells, and another explosion happens. "YES... MOTHER... GRANT ME OMNIPOTENT POWER!"
God powers up and launches forward at full speed, swinging a punch. "ALMIGHTY SMITE!" He slams it onto Furouxa's face, and there is a massive blast that sends the rest of them back.
When the light fades, Furouxa would look at him, a little golden blood going down his cheek. "Is that ALL?! BUAHAHAHA! DIE!"
Reality inverts around everyone as he grabs God by the neck, beginning to crush him. "God Essence is the only way to harm you. What a pitiful weakness."
Goku sees a glow in the corner of his eye coming toward them rapidly. "Who-"
"YOU BASTARD!" A familiar voice yells as a punch is slammed into Furouxa's face, and it sends him flying so fast that the fabric of the void itself becomes unstable. "AGHHHHH!"
The figure lands in front of them, and Goku's eyes widen, tears forming in his eyes. "That's... You're..."
His long hair would glow white, and red lines travel across his body. Celestial and God Essence would flow through him. "Long time no see, Kakarot."
Goku wipes the tears from his eyes. "V... V... VEGETA!"
Gohan clenches his teeth, feeling tears well up as well. Vegeta walks forward toward Furouxa, who gets up, holding his gut. "Who the hell are you?!"
"I see you're threatening to destroy my reality, my family, my Bulma," Vegeta says. "Your stupid mother made a miscalculation. As you can tell, I am severely pissed that I have had to spend the last twenty years finding existence again."
"MOTHER IS THE TRUE GODDESS OF EVERYTHING!" Furouxa yells, and he launches forward, launching a blast at Vegeta. He blocks it and smirks. "Ohoho, I've been itching to fight a weakling like you."
Furouxa gets irritated and barrages him. Vegeta clashes with his attacks, though it is clear he is holding back. "After I am through with you, I will take down your mother, you son of a bitch."
He doesn't even move as he sends Furouxa flying back, veins becoming visible in his eyes from the pain. "NGahh... MOTHER, LEND ME P-"
Vegeta uppercuts him, sending him rippling through the waving void. "Everything about you annoys me! You don't even train like a true warrior... You're just a pitiful being created by the void itself."
Furouxa lands on the void again and pants, holding his gut. "You... I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING!" He roars and launches a full power beam toward Vegeta. He walks toward it, not intimidated by his power.
Vegeta spreads his hands and yells. "FINAL... FLASH!" He launches a giant glowing white beam as it crashes through Furouxa's attack. He yells as it sends him flying across the void. "YOU FOOL! Mother will never forgive such foolish actions! I will merely reappear in the void and come back!"
Vegeta smirks. "Oh, I have no intention of letting you roam freely." He waves his hand, and the void itself surrounds him and seals him. "WHAT- NOO! MOTHER!"
The void pulls him under and seals him completely. Everybody, even God, is speechless by this display of power. Vegeta turns toward them and smirks. "Finally, I can..." He powers down and falls unconscious.
Goku flies over to him and grabs him, then flies back over to God. "Restore the Metempiric Space. We need to take care of Vegeta. I sense the form has been straining on his body, and he's been maintaining it until he found us."
He nods and closes his eyes. He pulses, and a bright glow forces everybody to look away. The Metempiric Space is shot out from him and is recreated, a glowing aura surrounding it, before fading.
He then releases all the gods and reverts into his standard form. He falls onto one knee, panting. "I over-exerted myself. Sorry."
"You don't need to apologize," Gohan replies. "Thank you for keeping us safe. You must rest and regain your energy."
"You're right," Arhenahin replies. "The threat is still not over." He turns to see Piccolo releasing the rest of the gods from his dimension, and they all gather into a crowd in front of Arhenahin.
He walks forward and sighs. "I know you are aware of my mother now. I did not want to reveal the truth to you after many, many years, but I have no choice now." He looks at the infinite void. "The void... is my mother."
The gods look at each other, confused. "The void is alive. I did not want to frighten anybody, but it is the truth. She is an Omnipotent Being who could destroy the Metempiric Space in a wave of her hand. We are in her body."
Goku glances toward Nygyn, who is clenching his fists. "Stop, my lord! You cannot tell them this! Wipe this from their memories! They must not know!"
"Enough!" Arhenahin shouts at him, using a tone almost no god has heard him use. "I will not erase this from their memories, even if it starts wars. I cannot hide the fact that my mother has been watching us all this time, and she might come and destroy everything."
Everybody is silent after he says that. Arhenahin sighs, turning away. "I apologize for my sudden outburst. I want to protect all of my creations. I am sorry to burden y-"
Suddenly, there'd be a bright light from behind them as a figure emerges from the void. No, the void emerges as a figure. Everybody turns toward it, as it is at the edges of the Metempiric Space.
Arhenahin looks up and clenches his fists. Nygyn turns toward him, confused. "The protected barriers of the Metempiric Space will be able to stop it from entering, correct?"
The figure from above just waves its hand, and the barrier opens as it goes inside reality. In an instant, it would have moved right in front of each of them, having purely infinite speed. Nobody would be able to see it, not even Arhenahin.
Goku's eyes widen as sweat goes down the side of his face. "W-Who is that? It looks like it teleported, but no... It's speed! How is that possible?! Across the entire Metempiric Space?!"
"It has been a long time, Arhenahin," the figure says. "I see my entertainment for the day has destroyed my son. I see your reality is doing fine..."
Arhenahin gets into a stance, looking more nervous than any of the gods has ever seen him. "What do you want?!"
"Oh, please," the figure replies. "As if you could do anything to your own mother. You wouldn't dare."
Suddenly, Arhenahin shoots forward and vanishes in front of her in an instant, holding his fist in front of her face. "Do not even think about it, mother. Do not destroy my reality again!"
"Again?" Piccolo murmurs. "You mean..."
"That figure is the mother of the Void itself," Nygyn says. "None of us stand a chance against her... We're entirely at her mercy now."
"How do you know all this?" Piccolo asks him, but Nygyn remains completely silent.
"Punch me," the figure says. "I dare you. I'll destroy your reality either way."
Arhenahin raises his fist and coats it in energy. "Almighty Smite!" He swings it at the figure, but his punch phases through her. "I warned you."
She then raises her finger and flicks him on the forehead. "AAAGH!" He just disappears before the other edge of the Metempiric Space explodes, and a colossal explosion distorts reality around everyone.
The entire Metempriic Space cracks like an egg as energy is launched everywhere. It would be absolute chaos. All of the remaining gods launch at the figure, and she smiles, allowing them to get closer.
Goku yells and powers up into Omni Evolution. "Arhenahin: Terminus! FORTE!" He coats his fist in all of his energy and swings it at the figure. She spreads her hands, allowing it to hit her.
All of the other gods use Forte, and a massive shock wave is sent through a small portion of the Metempiric Space. Gohan gasps as he realizes that... the attacks did absolutely nothing.
"Is this all reality has to offer?" The figure asks. "That's disappointing. You bore me." She just raises a finger, and all of the gods are sent exploding back, severely injured. "I could crush everything right now, but I am quite honestly intrigued. I'll be back."
She vanishes just as Arhenahin arrives. He pants, holding his gut. "I'm sorry... She shouldn't have... ugh... I need to fix everything..."
He glances toward Piccolo, who is getting up. "Zalama, I know you can hear me. You are within Piccolo's subconscious. Use Absolvisti..."
Nygyn's eyes widen. "My lord... Are you sure they are ready to see it? You said another googolplex years-"
"Do it," Arhenahin replies. "They will have to see the truth. Come out, Caelicola."
Piccolo nods and walks toward Nygyn, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Arhenahin: Absolvisti!"
Goku looks up shakily to see Nygyn starting to glow and grow in size before he passes out from the pain.
Later, Goku opens his eyes, now back in the Alpha Realm. He gets up and angels treating him back away nervously. He grunts and looks around. "What... happened... Was the Metempiric Space restored...?"
All of the angels do not respond, causing Goku to be confused. "Ookay... Something's up." He gets up and walks out, his body feeling sore. "Gck... I'm still too weak. I couldn't do anything... I had to rely on fusion again..."
He enters the throne room and sees nobody there. Normally, Arhenahin would always be at his throne. "Hello? Is anybody here?"
Footsteps are heard behind him, and he turns around to see Gohan walking up to him. "Dad, what happened?"
"You tell me," Goku replies, looking around the empty throne room. "I can't even sense Arhenahin's energy. We should probably go investigate."
The two walk across the throne room and see lights coming from outside. They walk out to see Arhenahin and a glowing figure who looks like God in front of him. The two would be conversing."
Gohan stops, and he and Goku look at each other in confusion. "Uhh... I didn't think Arhenahin could split into different forms, from what I remember."
The glowing figure notices him. "Ah, it's you two. Come forward. We should leave soon before the other gods see me."
"Who are you?" Goku asks. "You look just like Arhenahin's true form. Wait- how do you know us?"
The figure looks at Arhenahin, and he shakes his head, then looks back at the two of them. "I am a clone of err... Arhenahin."
"Oh, thanks, that clears it up!" Goku says, laughing. Suddenly, the two hear a voice behind them. "Cut the crap, Nygyn."
The two look back to see Piccolo walking up toward them, followed by Ahton. "Tell them the truth, or I'll do it."
The figure sighs. "Very well... Son Goku, Gohan, it is me, Nygyn."
"You're not Nygyn," Gohan replies, confused. "Your... your energy signature is just as large as Arhenahin's true form. There's no way you're that powerful."
"This is his true form," Arhenahin intervenes. "He's been hiding it for many, many years. His true name is Caelicola. He's just like me."
Gohan's eyes widen. "Wait... there are multiple Gods?"
"Correct," Caelicola replies. "Ever since the Spatium Space has been destroyed, I have come here to refuge under a different name. I do not wish to reveal the whole story, but that's it..."
Goku would just be dumbfounded. "Duh... Too much information..."
Arhenahin sighs. "I will explain what happened. I asked Piccolo to use a strictly forbidden technique of mine. I told myself never to use it, but I had no choice. I used it on Caelicola to once again release his true form so he can repair the Metempiric Space."
FLASHBACK
Nygyn's eyes widen. "My lord... Are you sure they are ready to see it? You said another googolplex years-"
"Do it," Arhenahin replies. "They will have to see the truth. Come out, Caelicola."
Piccolo nods and walks toward Nygyn, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Arhenahin: Absolvisti!"
Nygyn glows brightly, and a multicolored pillar of energy shoots off into the Metempiric Space. A new figure emerges, and he rises, turning toward Arhenahin. "...I'll take it from here, my lord."
He spreads his heads, and a shock wave goes through the entire Metempiric Space, patching the holes and repairing it. "This brings back good memories..."
"This doesn't make sense, though," Gohan says. "Wasn't Nygyn- I mean... Caelicola, a follower of Akuma?"
"I was at one point," Caelicola replies. "That is not important right now. We need to come up with a plan to take down mother."
Arhenahin nods. "I am sorry if this is confusing to all of you. Right now, we need to prepare ourselves and go into a full lockdown. Mother is Omnipotent. We cannot destroy her, but we could perhaps put her to an infinite slumber."
