After Omesus destroyed Qube's attack with a new transformation, he swallowed his pride and asked Zateus to train him. The angel accepted and trained him for two years, turning him into a powerful warrior, before saying goodbye. Daishinkan learned of his connection with the Saiyans and Zateus being the reason why Qube existed and was so powerful already.

Seeing that mortals have far more potential than he initially thought, Daishinkan sent the angel to retrieve a young mortal with great potential to become the multiverse's first God of Destruction. Without any choice, Zateus forcefully took Zydis from home. After he handed the child to Whis to be trained, he came across a very powerful being. it would've been a child of unknown origin with power that nearly matches his own. He adopted the child as his own, naming him "Qhuteus".

Chapter Thirty-Six

Zateus continues to serve the Omni King as his attendant, but in secret, he'd be raising Qhuteus. He'd be fascinated by the child's powers and would believe Qhuteus could be a great ally to the gods. He doesn't want to tell Daishinkan yet, because he may erase the child in paranoia.

Ever since leaving Planet Omesus, the home of the Saiyans, Qube had hidden in a corner of the universe, preparing to overthrow the gods. He stands on a barren planet, an army of Frost Demons bowing to him.

He watches from above, having trained twenty years after encountering Zateus. Electricity sparks from him as he swings a punch, a powerful current destroying the land behind him. "My children, I created you for only one purpose, and that is to serve me."

Qube turns toward his army, who he'd been birthing all this time. "Years ago, I've discovered that there are beings above our comprehension, but that will not stop us from conquering the universes."

He raises a fist, his aura glowing. "Soon, my children, we will claim what is rightfully ours. These so-called 'gods' will perish and we will rule everything!"

The Frost Demons yell wickedly, cheering for him. He smirks and looks up at the sky, lightning crackling above. "Soon, I will have my revenge on you, angel."

Zydis enters the Omni King's palace, alongside Whis. "This... is the creator of all's home?"

Whis nods, keeping him close. "Don't wander off too far, Zydis. Father requested an audience with you. He wishes to meet you."

The child nods and walks up to a throne, where Daishinkan would be seated, with his two guards next to him. Zydis looks up at him, sweating nervously, before bowing. "G-Greetings, great Oni King."

Whis chuckles, a bead of sweat going down his face. "It's 'Omni King', little one."

Daishinkan looks down at the child, studying him. He gets up and walks down the steps. "You are Zydis, the child prodigy of Planet Sufinkusu. I've watched your progress from here, and I am impressed."

Zydis wouldn't dare look up at the Omni King, refusing to let himself show weakness. "Yes, my lord. Th-thank you."

The Omni King stops right in front of him. "Raise your head, Zydis."

The child does so, looking the god in the eyes. It would be like looking at a galaxy. "The universes need a guardian like you as soon as possible. That is why I am here to grant you a boost in power."

He taps his staff and Zydis's eyes widen, as he feels a massive aura shoot up around him. "I have planted the power of Destruction into you, and now you must learn to tap into it. Ordinarily, I wouldn't consider this, but this is crucial for the growth of the universes."

Zydis bows again. "Thank you. If I may ask... What about the other universes?"

Daishinkan turns around, slowly walking back up to his throne while replying. "I have my eyes set on numerous other individuals who have similar potential to your own in their respective universes. You need not concern yourself. Whis, I want you to train Zydis under intense pressure to ensure that he becomes the God of Destruction as soon as possible."

Whis nods. "Understood, father. It will greatly strain his mind, body, and soul this way, but I will do what is necessary."

The Omni King nods, sitting down on his throne. "Good. You are dismissed."

The two bow again and teleport away, leaving him alone. Daishinkan takes a deep breath and sighs. "Zateus has been absent more and more lately. Something isn't right..."

As if on cue, the Grand Priest teleports in and bows before his lord. "My humblest apologies, father, for being late. I paid a visit to the Saiyans once again."

Daishinkan grunts, slamming his foot on the ground and scaring Zateus. "What have I told you about making connections with mortals, Zateus? Their time is limited, and they cannot comprehend the existence of beings such as ourselves."

The Grand Priest frowns. "But, my lord... Omesus's development has exponentially improved. Surely you can give him a chance? And Zydis, he and Omesus are like my little brot-" Suddenly, a blow strikes him in the cheek, knocking him to the ground.

The Omni King towers over him, glaring at him with cold eyes. "This is your last chance, Zateus. I'm now giving you an order, and that is to cut off all connections with these mortals. If you do not comply, you will be severely punished."

The Grand Priest's eyes sting, but he manages to keep his composure. "I-It will be done, father." He teleports away, leaving Daishinkan alone. The Omni King's expression softens before he gets up and leaves the palace, thinking to himself.

"Surely gods and mortals cannot interact," he says to himself. "It could be catastrophic, but I have seen that young one Zydis's progression. His kindness and pure heart are unmistakable."

He stops, watching over all nineteen universes. "... Perhaps I treated Zateus too harshly. This 'Omesus' that he speaks of could be some use."

Zateus flies away from the palace, feeling his cheek bruising. He'd remember his father's words. I'm now giving you an order, and that is to cut off all connections with these mortals. If you do not comply, you will be severely punished.

He pauses, saddened. He'd have to stop seeing Omesus, who he'd viewed as a little brother, and would no longer be able to interact with Zydis, who he's also grown fond of. And what about his adoptive son, Qhuteus? It's already difficult to find the time to take care of him as it is, but if his father becomes more strict, he may need to give him up.

He finds himself back on Planet Omesus, sighing. He walks forward, seeing the Saiyan population having grown and progressed a little, their villages now being bigger. He walks across the streets, getting weird looks from the warriors.

Zateus turns his head and sees an arena they have built, where they'd be sparring and training. He smiles at how much they've already grown before he remembers what he's here for.

He stops in front of a gate, where two guards would glare at him. "Hey, get lost, freak! This is private property!"

The angel sighs, not having time for this. He taps his staff, immediately teleporting into the big house. There, sitting down would be his greatest friend/brother, who would now be 32 years old. "Hello, Omesus."

The Saiyan shoots up, raising his fists. "Who the-?! Zateus? It's been four years since we last met!" Before the angel can react, he runs over and wraps his arms around him, crushing him in a bear hug. He'd still have childlike qualities. "I've missed you!"

The Grand Priest chuckles, before wincing a little. "Indeed it has, brother. Are these ladies yours?" Omesus immediately steps back, blushing. "No, no, they're my servants. Come in, let us talk."

He walks to another room, with Zateus following him. The house would creek because of the wind, being made of wood (or this planet's equivalent of such). "Your living conditions have significantly improved."

They sit down, and after a couple of minutes, the servants come over, giving them food. It would mostly consist of various kinds of meats, with the occasional vegetable.

Zateus takes a bite, pleasantly surprised by its flavor. "You didn't need to do this for me, Omesus. I appreciate it, though."

The Saiyan grins, taking a massive bite out of the meat on a bone. "You rarely visit me. Are your duties as Grand Priest..." He pauses, finally noticing the bruise on the god's cheek. "What happened?"

Zateus's smile fades and he sets down the food, sighing. "It's... what I came here for, Omesus. I..." He clenches his fists and the Saiyan looks at him, confused.

The Grand Priest takes a deep breath, looking up at him. "This will be my final visit."

The Saiyan stares at him, with wide eyes, as he drops the meat onto the floor. He knows Zateus would never joke. "What...?"

Zateus clears his throat. "Father punished me for making connections with you and the Saiyans. I must sever our bond for the good of the multiverse."

Omesus grabs him by the arms, shaking him. "No! He cannot do that! You're lying!"

The angel grabs his arms, gently pushing them away from him. "I must. I've enjoyed every second I've spent with you, my broth- friend..." The Saiyan flinches when he corrects himself.

Zateus gets up, his expression tightening. "Goodbye, Omesus. I hope you live a good life."

He turns to walk away, but then he hears a familiar voice. "That will not be necessary."

His eyes widen, as in the corner of the room, would be the Omni King himself alone. "F-Father? I don't understand..."

"I've thought about it further, and now I realize that perhaps I was too harsh to judge these warriors," Daishinkan replies. Omesus watches in awe before he realizes who he is and bows. "The creator of everything, in my home?"

The Omni King places a hand on Zateus's shoulder. "For now, you may continue your bond with this Saiyan. If he is as gifted as you say he is, then perhaps Vados should train him to be the God of Destruction for universe six. The previous candidate, unfortunately, perished recently."

The Grand Priest's eyes widen when he hears this. "That would be delightful, father."

Daishinkan nods. "Very well. As of today, Omesus is a candidate for Universe Six's God of Destruction. I will trust your judgment on this one, Zateus."

Zateus bows, smiling. "He will not disappoint you. His power is unlike anything I've seen thus far. His species has its own transformations."

After the meeting is finished, the angel says goodbye to Omesus, before they part ways for the time being. For three years, the first set of the Gods of Destruction would be trained by their respective angels.

When Zydis is not on duty, he would visit his home planet and eventually marry. His wife would now be eight months pregnant with two children. Zateus continues to raise Qhuteus in secret, with his son being very intelligent. He would quickly pick up any technique Zateus teaches him, even developing his own. Everything would be perfect for him.

He'd resume his duties as the Grand Priest while also being able to visit Omesus in Universe Six from time to time. He'd be making great progress and would get closer to unlocking his Destruction power.

However, everything would soon go wrong.

Qube trains constantly, swinging punches that level the land and cause ripples across the galaxies. His army of Frost Demons would've grown even bigger, and now he would be ready to strike.

"My children, it is time for us to destroy these wretched beings!" He yells, raising his fist. "Let us wreak havoc across the universes, and put the age of the gods to an end!"

He'd have trained them for years, and now they'd be unbelievably powerful. The Frost Demons laugh and cheer before Qube raises his hand, opening millions of different portals. He'd have finally mastered this technique. They all lead to different places in all of the universes.

In the Omni King's palace, Zateus and Daishinkan feel a disturbance, as they feel a lot of powerful energies scattering across the universes. The Grand Priest walks forward, squinting. "I can sense him... It's Qube..."

Daishinkan nods. "It's time to correct your mistakes, Zateus. Go, and stop these creatures before it is too late. Fail, and you will pay for your actions. I will warn my other children."

Zateus bows, before shooting off from the palace at full speed. He enters Universe Six, seeing many planets being destroyed by these Frost Demons. He grunts and vanishes in front of one, holding his hand up. "Hakai."

The Frost Demon yells, being erased from existence. The other Frost Demons power up and rush him, attacking him. With a wave of his staff, he knocks two away, but three would replace them.

Meanwhile, in Universe Seven, Whis would get the message on his staff and turn toward Zydis, who would've grown up by now. "Lord Zydis, we have a situation."

Zydis runs out, a purple aura surrounding him. "I know, I can sense it too. What the hell is this?"

A moment later, he sees various beams of energy flying toward the planet and he flies up, launching a counter barrage of his own to overpower them. Numerous Frost Demons fly down toward him, yelling.

He dodges attacks from all of them, kicking and erasing some unfortunate ones. "What are these things, and why are they so powerful?!"

In Universe Six, Omesus grunts, fighting off some Frost Demons on his planet as well. "That bastard Qube must be behind this! That coward, relying on his own kind!"

He enters into his Legendary Super Saiyan form, waving his hand and killing a huge chunk of them with a powerful blast. "Vados, take me to Qube."

Vados frowns at him. "That won't be necessary, my lord. He's here."

Immediately, all the Frost Demons back off, flying away from the planet as a familiar figure lands, nearly splitting the world in half. "If it isn't Omesus, the brat who commands the monkeys."

The Saiyan gets into a stance, his aura growing by the second. "Enough with the games, demon. What are you planning?"

Qube walks forward, smirking. "Nothing, except overthrowing the gods. You see, having beings above me doesn't sit well with me, especially since your angel friend dared to cross me. I want to be the king of everything. I will be the emperor of the multiverse."

"You stand no chance as you are now," Omesus replies. "My power is above yours. I will destroy you and your army."

"I'm aware I cannot defeat you as I am, but what if I do this?" Qube roars, the color of his body changing. He finishes, now shinier than before. "This is my silver form... I'll start with you, your angel, and then destroy your planet."

Omesus yells and charges forward, shattering the ground under him. He covers his fist in energy and brings it back. "No strength can outmatch mine! I AM THE KING OF ALL SAIYANS!"

Qube charges as well, grinning, and the two clash a powerful punch, sending ripples across the universe. The battle between the King of Saiyans and the King of Frost Demons would warp reality itself.

Zateus swings his staff, incinerating the last of the Frost Demons in this part of the universe. He grunts and flies off, killing off any stragglers who are escaping from him. "This is bad. The gods of destruction of the other universes are in trouble. They are barely powerful enough to meet my father's standards!"

Daishinkan watches the carnage above from his palace, clenching his fists. "Zateus, you fool... This situation is happening because of you. This is not good."

Meanwhile, Zydis backflips, avoiding various energy beams. He flies up and yells, plowing through many of the demons, and launching beams to incinerate them. "This is overwhelming! I haven't finished my training yet!"

One of the demons vanishes behind him and kicks him in the back, launching him to the ground. "GAH! Wh... Whis, I need you to remove my limiters!"

The angel pauses, before raising his staff. "I certainly hope you can control your powers. If not, I will need to intervene." Zydis's muscles bulk up as he roars, and the symbols of Destruction appear on his chest. His eyes would glow a faint red, and his aura turns a darker purple.

He grunts, barely able to contain this power. He flies up at full speed, incinerating hundreds of Frost Demons. "HAAAAAAA!"

Omesus clashes back and forth with Qube, struggling against the Frost Demon. The latter would be unbelievably strong. He's the most powerful mortal warrior in existence, yet this being is taking him on with little difficulty.

Qube thrusts his palm out and slams into Omesus, making him cough up blood. "Damn you!" The Frost Demon then launches a death beam that pierces his arm, making him yell. "AGHH!"

Qube then leaps up and spins around, whacking him in the face with his tail. Omesus goes limp, flying across the land and slamming into a massive rock. "Is that all? I expected more from somebody as potent as you."

Omesus slowly gets up, wiping the blood off his face. He turns around, staring at the Frost Demon menacingly. "Well done... But pain is merely an obstacle I can overcome." His hair shifts into a dark aqua color and he yells, activating his full power.

"This... is the power of God Ki!" He flickers and instantly is in front of Qube, much to his shock. Omesus slams a punch into his gut and the Frost Demon yells in pain, coughing up spit.

He rapidly barrages Qube, not letting up for a second. "HAAAAAAA!" He then slams him into the ground repeatedly, before launching a beam to send him away. The Frost Demon flies back, before landing on the ground, panting.

Omesus walks up to him, raising his hand and charging up a final blast. "Call off your attack, or the last thing you'll see is your body burned to a crisp."

Qube gets up, coughing up blood. "I've never expected anybody to push me to my limit, but here we are... I was saving this for when I fight your friend, but I have no choice."

"I WON'T LET YOU!" Omesus launches the blast but the Frost Demon knocks it out of the way, much to the Saiyan's shock. "What?!"

Qube looks up, his energy rising by unbelievable amounts. "This is the true power of my kind. Nobody has been able to achieve it but me, but... I call it... Primal Evolution."

A massive pillar of energy consumes the entire world, sending Omesus skidding back. The Frost Demon yells as many spikes grow from his body. He grows taller, and all the gems on his body converge into one giant gem on his chest.

He opens his eyes, and they would glow neon blue. His voice would sound distorted now. "Now, let's begin the real battle, shall we?"

To Be Continued in Chapter Thirty-Seven

New Frost Demon form revealed: Primal Evolution! The backstory has multiple chapters to go, but more will be revealed.
