"The Void is being recreated," Gohan says, his eyes widening. "It's crazy to experience something like this... She must be recreating it in her image."

"One day out there is like trillions of years in here," Goku says, realizing something. "Wait... the Void is expanding this fast even though it's only going SUPER slow outside. Just how big is the Void?!"

Gohan shrugs. "That's not important right now. Let's begin our training. We must unlock stage three and... perform the Arhenahin: Fusion."

"Sounds like a plan," Goku replies, smiling.

Chapter Seventeen

Hours later, the three of them would teleport out of the dimension. Vegeta turns around and raises his hand, the entire dimension in the far distance exploding in a huge light show. "We'll cover our tracks for now. Let's go find her."

Gohan points forward. "Look! Realities are slowly starting to form. That means she must've created some new Caeleste. Let's lay low and get closer."

Goku and Vegeta nod in agreement and the three Saiyans fly off toward the realities. They get closer to a darker section of the Void with a familiar glowing figure. They hide and see a bunch of new Caeleste bowing down before Ryina.

Ryina smiles coldly at them. "You have been born with one purpose, and that is to serve me. Run along and create your little realities. Just know, I am watching. If you think you are stronger than me, go ahead and try-"

One of the Caeleste power up and launch forward, swinging a heavy punch at her. She sidesteps and grabs the Caeleste by the neck so fast, that it causes the Void around them to shake. She then crushes the Caeleste's neck, causing it to disintegrate. "Would anybody else like to go against me?"

Nobody else would object, some of the Caeleste looking terrified. "Good. I have reset reality once again because of the lack of obedience from my previous Caeleste. Unmei, come forward."

Gohan's eyes widen. "Wait, what...?"

A different Unmei would walk next to her, looking at the Caeleste coldly. "I am the goddess of fate. My name is Lady Unmei and you will address me like that unless you wish to follow the same fate as that Caeleste."

Ryina smiles, clearly liking this version of Unmei more. "Good. Tiias, Pymas, step forward."

Tiias and Pymas would walk forward and bow before Ryina. "How may we be of service, Mother?"

"You two will be my attendants," Ryina replies. "Do everything I tell you to. If you are late to any meetings, you will die."

The two would nod and walk off into the crowd. Unmei looks to the side and her expression hardens.

Ryina raises an eyebrow. "What is it, Unmei?"

"We have unknown intruders," Unmei replies. "Even though it shouldn't yet be possible, they are not Caeleste."

Music: An Ancient Myth - [Jon Björk]

Ryina rises, her body glowing in anger. "WHAT?!"

Sweat goes down the side of Vegeta's face. "Our Ki signatures weren't low enough...! We're caught!"

In an instant, the reality they are hiding behind would be quickly pushed out of the way, being sent flying. They look up to see Ryina, Unmei, and the Caeleste looking at them.

Ryina's eyes turn red and a burst of wind shoots out, sending some of the Caeleste back. "How did you survive?! I deleted EVERYTHING!"

She then looks at their chests and squints. "I see... Unmei with her dirty tricks. No matter, you've already lost. You will not escape this time."

Unmei turns toward Ryina. "So, there was a good version of me before the reset? Sounds like you didn't lead your own Caeleste good enough."

Ryina rolls her eyes. "Yes, I admit I didn't. I will not make the same mistake again, though. Caeleste, attack!"

All of the Caeleste launch forward toward Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan. Arhenahin yells and swings a kick at Gohan, who blocks it, grunting. "All of them are bad! They aren't the same ones as before!"

"Let's split up!" Goku says, the three of them splitting in three directions, Caeleste following each of them.

"As much as I hate to admit it, those beings are not weak," Ryina says to Unmei. "If they beat the Caeleste, you'll finish them off."

Solis and Materia would go after Gohan, Gilo and Caelicola would go after Vegeta, and Arhenahin, Tiias, and Pymas would go after Goku.

Materia would swing a kick at Gohan and he would manage to sidestep it, punching him away. He turns around just in time to be punched by Solis and flung back, grunting. "They're more powerful than their counterparts!"

Solis would leap forward and continue to barrage him at an insane speed, him barely able to keep up. He enters his Mystic form and spins around, kicking her back. "Ugh!"

She vanishes in front of Gohan and roars. "ALMIGHTY CRASH!"

Gohan raises his arms to block the attack. "Armis!" His arms harden and the attack slams into him.

He looks up, the attack not having affected him. Materia would vanish in front of him and go to slice him in half, but Gohan would dodge it and elbow him, sending him flying once again.

In response, Solis would yell and enter Stage Two of the Void Form. "Mother has made a wise decision to reset the previous Void. You are foolish for standing against her!"

Gohan swings a punch at her, but she launches a blast that hits his hand and injures it. "GAHH!"

She then uppercuts him and sends him stumbling back. He immediately spins around and swings a punch that hits her on the face, but it does nothing. "You are nothing without the power of the Void. This battle is over!"

She pushes his fist out of the way and brings back her fist, slamming it into him and sending him spiraling upward. She then vanishes above him and kicks him downward. "UGH!"

Solis then zooms down toward him, but Gohan raises his hand and yells, "LOREM!" She is sent in the opposite direction at double the velocity. He gets up and grunts. "Fine. It's time to get serious!"

He yells and powers up into his Void form. "STAGE... ONE!" Red pulsating lines travel across his body and his hair turns pure white. "Let's continue."

Solis vanishes in front of him and yells, swinging a full-power punch. However, Gohan would catch it and squint at her. "This battle is over."

Materia leaps forward and slams into Gohan, surprising him and Solis would take the chance to barrage him with full speed. "ALMIGHTY AVE!"

When it finally stops, Gohan would be standing there, smiling. "That won't work." He raises his hand. "Pulsus!"

Solis screams as the force would be so intense that it knocks her out completely and sends her flying back. Gohan spins around and punches Materia, knocking him out as well.

Vegeta would be fighting off Caelicola and Gilo with ease in Super Saiyan. He kicks Caelicola away and dodges and blocks Gilo's attacks. He launches an energy blast that sends Gilo flying and yells, entering Super Saiyan Blue.

"BIG BANG ATTACK!" He launches a giant blue energy ball that slams into Gilo, sending him spiraling away, followed by an explosion. Caelicola shoots behind him and spin kicks him, sending him slightly back. "Tch!"

He spins around and begins to fight the two of them, getting irritated. "Diaboli!" He places a hand on Caelicola and a bunch of markings goes over him, binding him in place. "What the?!"

"HAAAAA!" He then punches him back, sending him flying through one of the realities. He blocks a punch from Gilo with the back of his hand and flips over him, slamming him with a kick.

The two Caeleste would fly toward him and Vegeta would spread his arms and use a technique he hasn't used since they fought Oblivion. "FINAL... SHINE... ATTACK!"

He launches a giant green beam that slams into the Caeleste and sends them crashing through multiple realities, knocking them out.

Arhenahin, Tiias, and Pymas would launch after Goku. Goku wouldn't want to waste time fighting them because he wants to restore everything. He launches a blast of wind that stops them from moving.

Using Telekinesis, he launches them and sends them crashing back. Pymas would vanish behind him and put him in an arm lock while Arhenahin and Tiias barrage him with great power, causing him to cough up blood. "I forgot how strong prime Arhenahin was... Him and Akuma working together is pretty ironic."

He closes his eyes and his hair slowly spikes up, turning silver. He enters Ultra Instinct and particles would hit the three Caeleste, sending them stumbling back.

"How could a mortal such as you be powerful enough to take on the Caeleste?!" Tiias asks, clenching his fists angrily.

"I'm not a mortal anymore," Goku says, walking forward. "I am... a Caeleste now. I am the Infinitum Mortale, Son Goku!"

Music: Two Steps From Hell - Victory

Suddenly, a gigantic burst of wind distracts everybody from their battles. Ryina even looks up at it, scrunching her eyebrows. "What?"

For a second, Goku flickers, and his power skyrockets. The Void glitches around him and he throws a punch with energy comparable to that of Ryina. A huge explosion immediately injures and knocks out the three Caeleste.

He goes back down to his base form and looks at his hands, confused. "Wh-What just happened?"

Everybody would be shocked, including Ryina. She then gets angry. "The recurring spirit of the Infinitum Mortale is a nuisance. I will erase him now..." She opens the scroll and writes the words in it:

Son Goku is suddenly erased from existence by an unknown force.

She would wait a moment and nothing would happen. "What the?! How could the powers of the scroll not work on this being?"

"That charm from the earlier me is still applied to him, my lady," Unmei says. "I could undo it, but I will need to touch him physically for at least ten seconds."

Ryina scoffs. "Then do it! What are you waiting for?"

Unmei nods and looks down. "I will go all out from the start. Stage Three!" An explosion of energy rattles the Void around them. She yells, white, rapidly pulsating lines traveling across her body.

Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan would huddle up in a group as Unmei looks down at them. In an instant, she would have punched each of them and sent them flying across the Void. "UGGGHHH!"

"Stage two, everybody!" Gohan yells as the three of them power up to stage two of the Void form. They then remove two of the markings and their power spikes up exponentially.

They all launch toward Unmei and rapidly barrage her, shattering pieces of the Void around them. Unmei would be dodging all of their attacks with ease, smiling coldly. "Is that all you can offer?"

Without moving, the three of them would be sent crashing through each reality, causing them to explode in a massive light show. "If you cannot beat me, then you have no chance against Ryina. Give it up."

Goku gets up, wiping blood off of his chin. "Gohan, Vegeta, we cannot hold back now. We need to do it."

"Agreed," Vegeta replies. The three of them yell and charge up, an explosion shaking the Void. They enter stage three, the purple lines on their bodies turning white. Unmei would still be smiling. "Stage three? Not bad."

Goku and Vegeta nod toward each other and bump fists. "ARHENAHIN... FUSION!"

They get pulled into one being and glow brightly, electricity bending the Void. Their power would be so great that the Void's expansion slows down.

Gogito opens his eyes. He'd be in the Stage Three transformation. Upon closer inspection, Unmei would see a red aura overlapping it, somehow multiplying its power.

"KAIOKEN!" Gogito zooms forward, disappearing from view. Unmei would be hit from all angles, stumbling back and forth. "What the?!"

He then grabs her and throws her down. He'd be a true god, a god beyond a Caeleste. He raises his hand and tosses her back and forth like a ragdoll.

Unmei yells and launches forward, the two clashing rapidly. She leaps up and launches a gigantic energy ball toward Gogito. "ALMIGHTY CECIDIT!"

Gogito grabs the energy ball with one hand and crushes it. "You are no match for me, Unmei. Give up."

Unmei smirks. "I haven't revealed my true form." All of the Caeleste vanish next to her. "It's time to become... the embodiment of destruction..."

They all get drawn toward one another and a beam of light shoots out. A figure walks out of it, red fire surrounding it. It speaks in multicolored voices, "I am... Raito. I am the second strongest! THIS... IS... STAGE FOUR!" A burst of energy shoots out of her, lighting up the area.

Gogito raises an eyebrow, turning toward Ryina. "Who is Raito?"

"I rewrote the scroll for the previous Void," Ryina explains. She turns toward Raito and raises her hand, giving him the God Essence Orb. "The original Caeleste was Raito before he split his power to create the other Caeleste. He is Destruction and I am Creation."

Raito would raise his hands and create an energy ball so big that it could be called infinite. He launches it downward, it spanning the length of one percent of the rapidly-expanding Void.

Gogito yells and launches a Final Atomic Kamehameha toward the blast, clashing with it. He grunts, sweat going down the side of his face. "It's crazy to see the truth of reality, everything that comes with and before it."

Raito would begin to overpower him and even the fusion of Goku and Vegeta would have trouble. "This is insane... To think Ryina is much more powerful..."

He yells, his power breaking its limits again. "TERMINUS!" His blast gets 100x bigger and begins to push Raito's blast back. He would erase it before it explodes and grunts, launching toward Gogito again.

The two would clash rapidly, being equal in power. They vanish and shoot across the massive Void, shock waves being caused by each clash. Gogito would have two of his limiters gone, plus he is using Terminus, plus Kaioken, yet this being is giving him a run for his money.

They shoot across the Void, Ryina looking up from below, watching with an expressionless face. Explosions happen everywhere and Gohan grunts, sweat going down his face. "You can do it, Dad, Vegeta!"

Gogito and Raito would continue to cause tears around the Void. They clash rapidly, yelling. Gogito brings back his fist, his power rising up to the maximum. "DRAGON... FIST!"

Rather than just a neck and head, a COMPLETE golden glowing dragon shoots out and headbutts Raito with full-force. "NNNGHHH!" He struggles to stop the blast, being sent back.

"Do not underestimate the Origin Caeleste!" He throws the dragon upward and it explodes. He launches forward and swings a kick but Gogito blocks it. "Gckk..."

Gogito yells and kicks him then launches him back with an energy blast. "It's time to END this! Infinity Kamehameha!"

He launches a white blast that hits Raito. He yells in pain and begins to crack down the middle. "No... This cannot be! Grr... You will not defeat Ryina! You will never win!"

With one last blast, he would have been vaporized by Gogito's attack. He exhales, steam coming off of him. He looks up at Ryina then vanishes next to Gohan, holding out his hand. "Let's do this, Gohan. Join us."

Gohan nods and grabs his hand. "Arhenahin... Fusion!"

The two beings would fuse into one and a gigantic energy vortex forms. Gohgito would rise from the ground and turn toward Ryina. "This battle ends now." He roars and begins to transform.

His muscles bulk up even more and he enters the next form: Stage Four. The lines on his body turn blue and purple with stars in them. "Once I take you down, I will restore the Void to how it used to be!"

Ryina squints at him, then begins to walk forward. "You've been a thorn in my side for too long now. I am going to kill you for good this time." She spreads her arms and the four origin orbs appear around her, fueling her.

The Void, God, Celestial, and Verum Hakai Orbs surround her, orbiting her rapidly. "I have everything you do. It is only you and me. What do you expect to be able to do against me?"

Gohgito launches toward her and the two clash a punch that slowly begins to tear the Void apart once again. They get into a handlock and press against each other with full force, everything shaking around them.

Ryina growls and punches him on the face and he stumbles back. He turns back toward her and smirks, wiping blood off of his bottom lip. "Do not underestimate me, just because you are the goddess of everything."

He yells and swings a heavy punch toward her. She blocks it, being sent back a little. "Tch... What a pain..."

The two continue to clash back and forth, being far beyond anybody who has ever existed, even in the previous Voids. Lights flash everywhere and they would clash elbows, kicks, headbutts, and punches, breaking the laws of logic.

She uppercuts him and sends him back, grunting. She begins to laugh and glow, rising above him. "The cycle will always repeat, mortal! I will delete this entire Void and make sure you go down this time!"

Everything begins to shake and Gohgito sweats, realizing he is running out of options against this Omnipotent being. He sighs and looks at his arm then back at Ryina. "Not if there is something we can do about it."

He goes to the final limiter on his arm and remembers Caelicola's warning against using it. All three of them would lose their powers, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't have a home to come to.

He closes his eyes and swipes the final limiter, and everything begins to shake and glow, chunks of the Void peeling off.

Ryina is blasted back by the wind, grunting. "What the?! WHAT?!"

An explosion erases the entire Void and Gogito glows brightly. He obtains power that he has never been able to comprehend before. He yells in three voices and the symbol on his arm would shatter.

To Be Continued in Chapter Eighteen

I hope you enjoyed this latest chapter! The battle truly is getting absolutely INSANE. This Fanfiction still has some chapters to go before it ends. I will see you soon!

And yes, the name "Raito" is actually a tribute to FataliseMH4's Fan FanFiction.
