Previously on Dragon Ball Super Aftermath: The Primal God
Wind blasts Goku and the entire Void begins to shake, the force blowing everything back. Energy particles would be seen everywhere. "You have no idea what I am truly capable of... I hoped to never use this form..."
The Void Essence orb begins to go into the center of her chest and infuses into it. Glowing light blue lines from it travel across her body, fully infusing her with its energy. "What will be left of me is a mystery you will have to find out yourself... I will be nothing but a killer..."
She begins to let out a roar, particles shooting everywhere and disintegrating simultaneously. Smoke swirls around her rapidly and the army would prepare for her attack.
Ryina would grow deformed wings, similar to that of a bat. She grows tendrils out of her body and her eyes turn completely red. "THIS IS... MY TRUE FORM..."
She grows long, sharp teeth and grows to be huge in size. She lets out a deep growl and begins to walk forward. She would cut through any of the realities in her way like butter.
She roars once again, a pillar of red energy slamming into the barriers of the Void, causing small cracks in them.
Chapter Nineteen
Two Steps From Hell - Future Guardian
Lightning strikes everywhere, disintegrating bits of the Void. Goku looks up to see a massive phantom figure holding the Void in its hands before becoming invisible again. The monster that used to be Ryina would walk across, slowly heading toward them.
"How are we going to defeat that giant monster?" Broly asks. Beerus flies over and lands next to them. "We need to work together. She has little to no rationality left."
Ryina roars and opens her mouth wide, launching a giant electric red beam toward them. Goku yells, "LOOK OUT!"
The Void would erase everything in its path and Goku teleports everyone out of the way. Gohan, Vegeta, and many others would launch toward the beast, barraging its body with punches.
It looks down at them, unaffected. In an instant, it would have swiped them, annihilating them. Goku waves his hand and brings them back, grunting. "Careful, guys. I don't know how long this form will last, or how many times I can resurrect you."
Akuma roars and powers up, a pillar of light shooting upward. "I will destroy it myself!" He glows and leaps up at crazy speeds, bringing back his fist.
"STOP!" Goku yells, but Akuma wouldn't be listening.
"HRAHH!" He slams the beast on the face with a full-force punch and a shock wave shoots out the size of its head. It looks up at Akuma with no response and then pulsates, sending Akuma crashing back.
Goku raises his hands and launches a barrage of Spirit Bombs the size of the Metempiric Space toward the beast. It would continue to walk toward them, the Spirit Bombs only being absorbed into it.
Broly roars and enters his Legendary Void form, getting into a stance. "To think I fought against you once, Son Goku. It's been an honor to be on your side."
He roars and launches a barrage of green blasts and all other warriors would try to slow the beast down. It would then let out a bloodcurdling roar, launching everybody back. A vortex would disorient the balance of the Void.
It would be knocking everybody back. Lights would flash everywhere, debris would shoot up, and strikes of energy would be tearing everything apart.
Goku watches in shock at the indescribable power of the beast. "So much power, and it's not even focused... We need to bring it down now!"
He raises into the air above everybody else and raises his hands, launching a Kamehameha of infinite power. It would be the color of the rainbow. "HAAAAA!"
It slams into the beast and sends it stumbling back. Everybody on the battlefield would take the chance to go in all at once. All of the Caeleste use their Almighty Somnium against the beast, but it would keep going forward.
"What is it after?" Gohan asks. "That thing is plowing through the Void... Does it even have a mind of its own?"
The giant beast would stop and then look down at Goku. "Son... Goku..."
One of its tendrils shoots down at him and Goku deflects it with a punch. "Tch... It can speak?!"
The beast roars again and closes its eyes. After a moment, it would exhale slowly and open its eyes. "How fortunate for me I was able to return to consciousness... Infinitum Mortale, this is my true form!"
"Look out," Caelicola says. "Looks like Mother has taken control of herself again."
Suddenly, beams shoot in every direction, googolplexes of them. They would annihilate many of the warriors. The beast would vanish above Son Goku and bring a massive fist down onto him.
Goku would roar and clash the punch, a massive crack going through the air. He struggles with the attack, trying to keep his ground. "Gnnh... Damn it..."
"SUPREME FLUVIUS..." Ryina would use the powers of creation against Goku. He grunts and tries to not get knocked down. "GRR... KAIOKEN TIMES... ONE TRILLION!"
A red aura engulfs the Void as Ryina is sent tumbling back. "GRRRR!"
Goku vanishes in front of her, slamming her in the face. "HAAA!"
She is sent flying back, crashing through a reality. She gets up and walks toward Goku, not having a scratch on her. "I don't care about this pitiful Void anymore. I will unleash... my full AURA!"
All of the Caeleste would fuse into Raito and leap up toward her, flying into her chest. She is moved back a little and growls, swatting him out of the way.
She roars and an aura of infinite size would vaporize the entire Void, even slightly cracking the white nothingness behind it. Goku would have to put a barrier around everybody to protect them.
Arhenahin yells and enters into his Prime form: Stage Two. He leaps up and spreads his arms, launching a barrage of white beams toward Ryina. She raises one finger to block the attacks. "Arhenahin... Get out of the way, you insect!"
Luffy vanishes next to her head, having a massive fist. "KING... KING... KING... KING... KONG... GUN!" He slams it onto her face and her head budges slightly. She looks at Luffy and he just pops out of existence.
Goku restores Luffy and many fallen others next to him. Naruto and millions of others would launch a beam at her and she would knock it out of the way. She raises a finger and launches blasts that would send everybody flying.
Goku grunts and knocks the blast away, healing his arm. Abzarus, the fusion of the four evil gods, would fly up next to him. "DON'T LET HER KILL SON GOKU! WE NEED HIM TO DESTROY HER!"
Goku watches him in awe, remembering all those times that he was his enemy. Abzarus roars and launches a full-power blast toward Ryina. "I call this blast... 'THE END!"
Goku leaps forward and places a hand on his shoulder, amplifying his attack with his energy. It slams into Ryina and sends her stumbling back. "UGHH!"
Zeno walks toward and enters the Void form, his eyes glowing white. He'd angrily look up at Ryina. He spreads his arms and part of the entire Void begins to shake. A red light surrounds Ryina and sends her back again. "STUPID... INSECTS!"
Saitama would crack his knuckles, his face turning serious. He leaps up toward Ryina, bringing back his fist. "Serious Series: Serious Punch." A huge explosion shoots down and a hole explodes into Ryina's chest. "GRRAHHH!"
He'd continue to barrage her rapidly as Capper and Raddis would fuse and launch a giant Dragon Ray toward her. She'd raise one arm to block it as suddenly Ichigo vanishes next to her head. "GETSUGA TENSHOU!"
He launches a giant slice that would cut her head in half. It reforms and she goes to grab Ichigo but then Sasuke would leap up in his Complete Susanoo form to block it with two arms and be sent spiraling back.
Kaido leaps up and brings down his mace onto Ryina's shoulder and she falls onto her knees. Mewtwo and many other Pokemon would be attacking her while Ash Ketchum summons Pikachu and he launches a giant lightning bolt.
Everybody would be attacking her at once and she'd be getting overwhelmed. Oblivion enters his full power and summons his energy sword, slicing her arm off. Black and red electricity surround him as he draws them into his palms, launching a concentrated attack into her eyes. "AGHH!"
Ahton would fly alongside Oblivion along with the Orders and his two guardians. He launches a bolt of pink electricity into Ryina's chest, and she would snap.
She would wave her hand and destroy everybody in an instant except for Goku, but it hurts him. She then rushes up to him and slams him in the gut with a massive punch. Goku coughs up blood, his eyes twitching.
She'd then spread her arms and slam Goku in between her hands multiple times in a clapping motion, before wrapping him with all of her tendrils. "It's the end of the line, Son Goku!"
Goku's face would go pale as he feels himself being squeezed by the tendrils. "GNCKK..."
He'd try to stop it. He closes his eyes and sees the Void Essence Orb in front of him. "Do it, Son Goku. Allow me to lend you all of my power onto one attack..."
Goku begins to overflow with energy and releases from Ryina's grip. "WHAT?!"
He'd then bring back his fist, yelling. "SUPREME IMPERIUM!"
Ryina would be sent back so fast that she seems to vanish. She is sent flying across the nothingness, yelling. "What the hell was that?!"
Goku would then vanish above in front of her eyes, raising his fist. "ROCK!"
She stumbles back. "WHY... YOU!"
"PAPER!" He'd then hit her with the palm of his hands. She'd begin to barrage him with rapid punches but he'd dodge each of them. "SCISSORS!" He raises his two fingers and stabs them into her eye, destroying it.
She shrieks in agony as Goku brings everybody back once again. "Now, Master Roshi!"
Master Roshi throws a bottle and then raises his hands. "EVIL CONTAINMENT WAVE!"
The green wave hits Ryina and does nothing, as she begins to recover.
"I told you to use the Kamehameha!" Goku yells. "That attack won't work on her!"
"Stand aside, mortals!" Zamasu yells, launching a supernova toward her. She opens her eye and it bounces off of her. "Once I am through with you, Infinitum Mortale, nothing will exist ever again!"
An infinite amount of energy would shoot out of her. Every type of energy, ranging from Magic to Void Essence would shoot from her. "Words cannot express how pissed off you have made me, Son Goku!"
She begins to grow in size once again. "Do not forget, I am the true goddess of the Void... My power grows infinitely. I am already beyond your level..."
She then shrinks down, going back to human size. "Come..."
Goku leaps forward at a limitless speed and the two clash a punch. For a moment, everyt̵̜̼̲̅̇̈́ḫ̷̰̄͜ĭ̶͔͊n̶̠͈͘g̵̹̝̫̕,̸͎̯̿ ̵͙̦̠̂͝ḙ̸̘̓͑͜v̴̫̏ë̷͙̞́̉͜n̶͈̍̏ ̴̝̖̇̔̚͜t̸̤̟͌͒͘h̷̘͌e white nothingness under the Void, would fli̷̡̱̽͛c̴͇̋k̸̘̟͂er in and out of existence. The Fan Fiction would be glitching.
"Their power is too great!" Unmei says, looking around. "Thȇ̷̝ŷ̶̮̆ ̵̻̰́̊̍a̷̻̲̰͑̈́r̷̙̋e̵̢̙̗̐ ̵͖͕̺̈́͂l̸̨̞͕͛̐i̶̼͑͛̈ṫ̵̤̅͝e̵̮͌̊rally tearing apart the foundations of what we are!"
"You will not win this battle!" Goku yells, struggling to fend her off. The two would clash back and forth, ascending beyond every possible dimension. They would be above anybody else in fiction.
They would continue to ascend, transcending beyond Infinity. It would be a beautiful sight, everybody on the battlefield becoming a blur to them. Everything would become colorful.
Goku would focus on nothing but the battle with Ryina, slowly losing against her. They would be so fast that no amount of math can come close to their level. It would be infinity vs. infinity.
Goku would remember what he saw in the prophecy. This is that exact moment. All of the origin orbs would fuel him with all of their energy to the point of dimming. He yells, activating all of his power to try and get closer to Ryina's level.
The Void Essence Orb floats between them, fueling them both with energy. The battle would go on for hours, explosions deleting text off of the FanF
Go
Ryina grunts and blocks his attacks before countering. He'd kick him and send him flying. "DIE!"
Goku would be flying so fast that he finds himself phasing through the story and falls. He stands up and looks around in confusion. He would see text below him, strange text.
As he reads, he would see it would generate as he walks along. He looks up at the top left and sees a bit labeled, "Manage Stories".
He flies up and taps it, going to a strange screen with four stories. "What is this...? Where am I...? Am I even supposed to know about this...?"
He reads the descriptions and they would describe earlier parts of his life. He looks at a story titled, "Dragon Ball Aftermath: The Primal God".
His expression hardens and he flys into the image, going back into the story. He leaps toward Ryina and yells, barraging her. She'd be dodging each of his attacks, now being far beyond his level.
She launches a beam and he is sent flying back. Goku would slowly walk toward her and wave his hand, bringing them back to the area of the fighters. "Everybody, distract her! I need to charge up the ultimate attack!"
Everybody would power up into their maximum forms and launch toward the goddess, trying to fend her off. Goku raises his hands up in the air and begins to charge a Spirit Bomb. It grows and grows, becoming so large that it expands beyond the Void.
He'd draw spirit energy from everybody on the battlefield. "This is the... infinite Genki-dama!"
The Spirit Bomb would get so big that it would fade into the distance. It would become an infinite size, surrounding everything in existence. "STAND BACK, EVERYBODY!"
He launches it toward Ryina who looks up at it in shock. She raises her hands and catches it, being pushed back. She'd grunt, trying to slow it down. "UGH... How much spirit energy is this?!"
Goku closes his fist. "Disappear!"
A massive explosion rattles everything, sending her crashing through the Void and its massive barrier. She coughs up blood and manages to get up, clutching her gut. In a fit of rage, she would glow and yell, powering up even more.
Music: Eternal Eclipse - Twilight Huntress (feat. Merethe Soltvedt)
"I am now even stronger than the spirit of the Infinitum Mortale," she says. "I see you've also seen the truth of your existence. That is right... What you are is a lie. Your fate is typed by a writer, only one of many..."
"That doesn't matter right now," Goku replies. "If every action and word we speak is written, so be it."
She smirks. "None of this is even canon... You are part of a series called 'Dragon Ball'. It has stopped since Dragon Ball Super. That is when you finished the Tournament of Power."
Goku's expression turns to confusion. "Canon? What does that mean?"
Suddenly, she'd have the scroll. She'd hold it up, smirking. "The truth about the scroll is that it is a... set of documents... It is what the writer uses to store the story."
She points her finger at him. "You aren't real. You're just a fake continuation of the actual character. Now that you know the truth, it is time for you to die."
"As I said, I don't care. All I care about is that we are all happy in the end. It is time for peace."
She powers up again and she very slowly draws the Void Essence Orb toward her. "Once I can take it, it's mine forever. You will lose your powers and it will finally end..."
Goku smiles and levitates upward. "Not if we stop it together. You're the one who doesn't understand, Ryina. The writer was meant to tell a story, one with a happy ending."
Ryina squints. "What are you talking about?"
"Do it, Son Goku," a voice says in his head. "Release my spirit."
Goku nods and raises his hands. "Everybody, join me! We will unite together as one! We will perform... the Infinity Fusion!"
Vegeta's jaw drops. "Is he mad?! Does he plan to perform the Arhenahin: Fusion with everybody?"
"It's our only choice," Materia says, walking forward. "We will ascend to the status of the Writer with this amount of power."
Everybody would begin to join hands. Ryina would realize what is happening. "Wha-What?! N-No! I won't let you!'
She launches a blast but Goku would manage to deflect it. "It's over, Ryina."
Ryina would take a step back, shaking with fear. "N-No... NO!"
Everybody on the battlefield would be holding hands. Goku would close his eyes, prepared to do what is necessary. "Arhenahin... Fusion!"
There'd be a flicker and everybody in existence except for Ryina draws toward one another. All mortals, all gods, all tiers, all Caeleste. Goku closes his eyes and the ultimate being is created.
It would have specs of the color of the rainbow all over it. It would have thousands of streaks on its body. Suddenly, the Void Essence Orb and the other origin orbs would fuse into one.
Then, it would fuse into the new warrior. The warrior spreads its arms and floats up, slowly opening its eyes. "Ryina. It is time for your banishment."
"W-Who are you?" Ryina asks, terrified. "That presence... It's familiar..."
"I am... the Void Essence Orb's spirit," the being says. "I am Warrior X... You always abused me for power... You always craved power..."
"You never will tell me what to do!" Ryina yells, leaping forward. Warrior X would raise its hand and stop her in place. "I am the one who wrote this story."
She would be even more terrified than before. "No... It can't be!"
Warrior X would lift her into the air. She would yell and manage to break out of his grasp, launching forward. She'd begin to barrage him rapidly and he'd dodge all of her attacks. "Give up, Ryina."
"NEVER!" She spins around and kicks him but he doesn't budge. He'd touch her and she'd weaken back into her original form. "I normally would never intervene, but you have caused corruption in the story... I cannot let you continue to exist."
Ryina would continue to hopelessly at
tack him. "You can't destroy me! I am... the goddess of the Void!"
Warrior X slowly shakes his head. "The fusion was powerful enough to release me from the orb."
She enters full power and launches forward at full speed. The two would clash back and forth, but Warrior X would clearly not be trying. He'd chop her on the shoulder and she'd fall onto the ground, panting.
He reaches over and places a hand on her chest. She looks down and sees she is disintegrating. "No... Please! Don't do it, please! I will leave you all alone!"
"It's too late," Warrior X says. "You had the chance to control this Fan Fiction, but it failed. Consider yourself... written out of the story."
"NO!" She'd scream and begin to glitch. "My lord, don't do it!"
She'd begin to phase out of the story. "NOOO!" She'd look up at the endless nothingness. "Why... All these years of leading the Void and I get beaten by my own creator. Me? Destroyed by the Void Essence Orb? What kind of bullshit is this?!"
She flickers and is completely erased forever. The writer would split everybody else away from him. Everybody would be exhausted, but he'd wave his hand and restore them. "Ryina has been erased. The battle is won."
A massive cheer shoots up and the writer would levitate toward the ground. "You all have worked hard all these years, especially you, Son Goku. Come forth."
Son Goku nervously would walk up to the writer. He'd have lost his powers and now would be weakened to the state of an average human. "Uh, hi."
The writer would place a hand on his shoulder. "Goku, the Void is without a leader. Will you accept the position of the god of the Void?"
Goku would be utterly shocked. "Wh-What? Oh, uh, that's Unmei's job."
Unmei smiles. "No worries, Goku. I cannot go against the wishes of the author. Even if I had a choice, I believe you are the best pick for it."
Goku would be silent for a moment. "I... But I'm not the real Goku."
The writer would chuckle. "Maybe not, but to everybody here, you are. Do you accept the position of the new god of the void?"
Goku would smile. "Yeah, I do. But first, I'm curious. I need to know the truth. I want to know the story of how the original Voids were born."
"I suspected you were going to ask that," the writer replies. "I will explain to everybody the origin of Ryina. She was a problem from the start..."
To Be Continued in Chapter Twenty
Despite what I said, the real grand finale will be the next chapter. I cut it into two parts, otherwise, it would be too long.
