After a great battle between Zeno's guards and Ozatus, the latter would've come out on top. Nearly killing Zeno, an unknown dark figure appears, saving his life. The figure would split Ozatus back into the two evil gods and attempts to kill them, before Qhuteus arrives, saving the two. After they depart, Daishinkan makes an announcement to all twelve universes to prepare for a multiversal war. How will our heroes take on the most powerful beings in the multiverse? Find out now.

Chapter Twenty

Broly launches forward in an instant, swinging a heavy punch toward Beerus. The destroyer swings his fist as well in retaliation, as the two punches clash, cracking the ground below them.

The Saiyan yells, going to knee him, but Beerus leaps up and grabs his shoulders, flipping him over and slamming him to the ground. "Agh!"

Broly gets up and powers up into his Wrathful State, before launching forward. He punches Beerus in the face, sending him flying back. The destroyer stops himself and skids back, chuckling. "I felt that one a little."

He launches an energy beam, and Broly knocks it to the side, before flying toward the destroyer. The two go back and forth, flying around the planet. "I must admit, Saiyan, you've gotten stronger than before. Don't forget that I'm the god of destruction of your universe, though."

Beerus whacks him with his tail, sending him crashing to the ground. He then raises his hand, launching a Hakai orb toward the brute. Broly gets up and powers up into Super Saiyan, leaping out of the way.

He launches a beam out of his mouth, which Beerus kicks to the side, grunting. The two fly toward one another and clash elbows, creating a massive explosion.

Gohan watches from below, stunned at their speed. "Well, I guess I'll join in on this battle. Broly looks like he needs some help." He yells and powers up into his ultimate form, flying up toward the destroyer.

While Broly distracts him, Gohan nails Beerus on the face. Broly takes the chance to do so as well, as now the Saiyans would have the upper hand. The destroyer would get increasingly angry and a purple aura flares up around him, sending them flying back.

He zooms forward, grabbing Gohan by the face, spinning around, and throwing him into Broly, sending both of them spiraling back. Broly manages to stop himself, catching Gohan and throwing him toward Beerus to give him a boost.

The Half-Saiyan yells, a white trail of energy following him. "MASENKO!" He uses an old technique, launching a yellow beam toward the god.

Beerus knocks it to the side, but it would actually be a diversion for Broly to get an opening. The Saiyan roars, nailing a powerful strike in his gut. He coughs up spit, flying down to the ground.

He lands on his feet, chuckling. He slides his foot back and focuses his eyes on Broly. "No more playing around. It's time to get serious."

Gohan zooms behind him, but the destroyer nails him with the back of his hand, stunning him. He then launches up toward Broly, instantly behind him, much to the shock of the Saiyan.

He raises his hand and chops the brute to the ground, completely shattering it. "GAHHHHH!"

Broly would get increasingly enraged, powering up into his Legendary Super Saiyan form. Waves of energy shoot out from him, disrupting parts of the universe. He launches a barrage of green energy blasts out of him in all directions, covering the planet in smoke.

Whis creates a barrier around him. "Oh, dear. Beerus is not going to be happy about this."

As he expected, Beerus yells and his aura alone clears the smoke. Broly turns toward him and vanishes behind him, slamming his fist on the side of his face. He'd send him tumbling across the planet, crashing through the enormous tree.

Beerus lands and wipes his mouth, looking to see that there's a bit of blood. He would get angry and roar, his purple aura becoming massive. Symbols appear on his chest as he enters full power.

In an instant, he shoots in front of Broly, slamming him in the gut with full force. The brute coughs up blood, convulsing. The destroyer then leaps up and kicks him back.

Gohan watches from below nervously, holding his nose that would've been nailed by Beerus earlier. "I can't do anything... He's pushed Beerus to full power, while I can't do anything."

He clenches his fists. "This is all my fault. Prior to the tournament, I didn't train enough. I wasn't able to help against Jiren. I wasn't able to help against Broly... I wasn't even able to help against Omesus or Zateus..."

He closes his eyes, his aura getting bigger. Whis watches, intrigued, as the Half-Saiyan's irises turn blue. "No more will I fall behind..."

Gohan's power grows exponentially, a new power coursing through him. He launches up toward Beerus, kicking him and catching him off guard. "What?!"

Whis smiles. "He's done it. His power is greater than I thought it would've been. Half-Saiyans truly do have remarkable potential."

Gohan would obtain God Ki, immediately boosting his ultimate form to new heights. It would be as if he is in Super Saiyan Blue or even greater. "We'll fight this battle together, Broly."

The brute nods, powering up into Legendary Super Saiyan three. Beerus smirks. "So, Goku's brat has finally done it. Fine... I will not pull any punches, so prepare yourselves."

He roars, his destruction aura flaring up to the maximum and incinerating part of the ground below everybody.

In the gravity chamber, Vegeta would stand across from Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu. "I don't know why I'm having to be the one to train you five. Seji took Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, and Androids 17 and 18, Beerus took Gohan and Broly, and Kakarot is training with the Grand Priest. No matter, I'll whip you into shape, but don't expect me to go easy."

Tien smiles, cracking his knuckles. "I'll be able to handle whatever you throw at me, Vegeta."

The prince chuckles. "Is that so?" He presses a button and turns the gravity on. The five humans immediately struggle to stand up, nearly falling. Tien grunts, slowly looking up at the Saiyan. "Is this... what you train through?"

"This is nothing," Vegeta replies. "I even put on weights when I'm training. I told you I won't go easy on you, not even slightly. All four of you, come at me."

He gets into a stance, as Krillin would be the first to slowly walk to him. He grunts and tries to swing a punch, but Vegeta nails him in the face, knocking him to the ground. "GOWW! How are we supposed to fight you?!"

"Quit your whining," Vegeta says, scoffing. "You've barely just started. If you humans want to get closer to our level, you have to endure it."

Master Roshi yells, launching a Kamehameha. Vegeta yells and punches it away, as it bounces around the gravity chamber, before nailing Vegeta in the back of the head. "WHA-?!"

He'd turn toward Yamcha, who'd be trying not to laugh. Tick marks appear on his head as he raises his fist, clenching it. "If I can recall, you are the weakest human out of the bunch, and I'll make you even weaker if you don't attack!"

"Buu wants to have fun too!" Vegeta looks over to see Buu walk into the gravity chamber, smiling. "Buu wants to get stronger too! It's not big enough, though."

He taps his chin and then raises his finger, zapping the gravity chamber. Using his magic, it would suddenly double in size, shocking everyone. "There. Now friends have plenty of room!"

Vegeta smirks. "Alright, get ready, Buu. You better not fall asleep after getting fit again."

Buu shakes his head. "Nope! Buu will not fall asleep before battle. He wants to have fun. He will also heal friends if they get hurt."

The prince gets in a stance, releasing his aura. "Come at me, all of you. No holding back. Buu will heal you if you're close to death."

At the edge of universe six, Seji would've brought Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, and Androids 17 and 18. "Welcome to the edge of universe six. This is one of my hideouts and my training ground."

He turns around to see the five of them on their knees, struggling to get up. "Ah, I forgot to mention this planet has the most density out of any other. It's quite marvelous that it hasn't collapsed in on itself. I've also used my magic to make it even heavier."

Piccolo yells, forcing himself to his feet. He'd clench his fists, his legs shaking. "I will become stronger than ever before! I will unlock this new power."

Seji smiles. "Good. That is the optimism I like to hear..." After Piccolo, the rest of the fighters would get up. Goten sinks into the ground a little. "My feet hurt..."

"No complaining," Android 18 replies. "You're not kids anymore. You've grown too soft living with your families."

Piccolo turns toward Goten and Trunks. "Don't worry. Both Seji and I will help you two get stronger. You both have great potential like Gohan has, due to being Hybrid Saiyans."

The sage waves his hand, the impact of the gravity lessening. "All of you will fight me at once and show me your current abilities. Do not hold back."

Trunks smirks and powers up into Super Saiyan, a burst of wind sending dust everywhere. He launches straight toward Seji, Goten doing the same. The two yell and barrage the sage, who takes the attacks, unmoving.

"Your lack of experience shows in your attacks," the namekian notes. Goten jumps back and yells, launching a barrage of energy blasts, followed by a Kamehameha. Seji catches it and throws it toward Trunks, who barely avoids it.

The young Saiyan slides across the ground, leaping toward his opponent. "GALICK... GUN!" He uses a purple blast that Seji kicks back toward the kid, shocking him.

Before it hits, Androids 17 and 18 stop it, saving Trunks.

"This guy's completely unphased by their attacks," Android 17 says. "It's our turn now, eighteen."

She nods as the two run toward the namekian at incredible speeds. Android 17 leaps up and zigzags to make himself unpredictable, before going to kick him. Seji blocks the attack and his arm shakes at the impact. "Not bad."

Android 18 shoots behind him and yells, launching a full power energy blast. Seji shoots above them in an instant, launching a barrage of homing energy beams toward them.

Android 17 launches counter beams at them with perfect accuracy, destroying them. Piccolo would join in the battle, launching a Special Beam Cannon. The sage yells and raises his hand, stopping it in place.

"What an interesting technique," he says, smirking. "Perhaps I could learn it sometime." He manages to stop it, his hand scorched. He zooms down, kicking Piccolo away.

Gotenks suddenly appears in Super Saiyan 3, kicking Seji in the back. He'd take it, the attack still not working. "Ah, the Metamoran Fusion Dance... I see now."

He elbows the fusion in the gut without turning around, sending him flying. Piccolo leaps toward him, stretching his arms out to ensnare him. "NOW!"

Android 17 and 18 yell, launching a full power beam. It consumes Seji, an explosion shaking the planet a little. He'd be burned by the attack, grinding his teeth. He places a hand on Piccolo's stretched arm, as thousands of slices go through it, severing it.

Piccolo yells in pain, before regenerating his arm. "I didn't even see him move... Is this the power of the Dragon God's son?"

"You have good teamwork skills," Seji states. "However... I am going to be serious now."

He takes a step forward, before shooting behind Android 18 in an instant, kicking her into Gotenks, the two of them flying far back. Android 17 and Piccolo launch a combined beam toward their opponent, who easily deflects it.

He then flickers and creates a glowing golden energy projection of a hand that grabs them. He summons his staff, which would have two golden dragons curled around it. "This one technique will end the battle."

Thousands of energy fists form around them, all barraging them simultaneously. "Golden Storm!"

The five of them would be completely helpless against his attacks, as they would be knocked down one by one. He lets them go, knocking them to the ground. "You have nowhere near the power to challenge me, but I will make you far stronger than before. You will need to trust me."

He taps his staff as green particles envelop them, healing them at a rapid rate. "Prepare yourselves. This is one of many injuries you will sustain."

Goku would spar with Daishinkan five years later, almost entirely accustomed to the pressure of the Angelic Chamber. "I still have no chance against you, Daishinkan. Heh... I'm still working on achieving stage two again. By the way... I've had a question on my mind... How the heck am I supposed to live for two thousand years?"

The Grand Priest smiles, stopping the Saiyan's punches with one finger. "I have the power to stop your aging, Goku-san, which is a simple task for me. Your body will not age, but your mind and power will."

Goku stops attacking him, panting. "It's already been five years here... I miss everyone, but it's for the sake of our multiverse."

Daishinkan lowers his staff. "It has only been about two days outside. You must not only perfect your Ultra Instinct, but also tap into that unknown power from back then."

The Saiyan takes a couple more breaths and then gets in a fighting stance, entering Ultra Instinct combined with Super Saiyan Blue. "Alright, let's continue!" He closes his eyes, forming into an energy avatar. For a split second, his aura faintly turns red.

Universe Nineteen

The doors to the dark palace open, with Zateus walking toward his second son, Qhuteus. There'd be hundreds of random, pitch-black soldiers. Qhuteus would hold his hands to the sky, blue energy emitting from him. "That damn Omni King... He's discovered this universe and keeps trying to erase it."

He turns his head to see Zateus. "Ah, father... What brings you here?"

Zateus stops right by him, staring at him. "Qhuteus, what are these creatures for?"

"They are part of the first stage of my plan," the sorcerer replies. "To gather... samples, you could say."

His father squints, walking past him up to the throne. "Samples? Of what?"

Qhuteus chuckles, his cold eyes even unnerving Zateus. "To achieve my ultimate goal."

He lowers his hands, sensing Zeno giving up for the time being. He turns toward his soldiers. "Go to each universe and complete your mission. Only resort to fighting if absolutely necessary. When you have the samples, retreat immediately."

The dark creatures all nod at him, their irises glowing purple. Most of them disperse into black smoke, teleporting to the other universes. A couple of them suddenly leap toward Zateus and Qhuteus, grabbing them.

Zateus pushes them away, turning toward his son. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Calm down," Qhuteus replies. "I made these creatures to take DNA samples of every capable species in the multiverse. As you know, my origins differ from yours. They'll also head toward Omesus as well."

Reluctantly, Zateus lowers his guard, as the creatures turn their hands into needles and take samples of their blood, before creating vials of it and handing them over to Qhuteus. "Good work. Head to the other universes and collect more samples."

The creatures go through the universes stealthily, working on collecting blood samples from each species. It would be an effortless task for them to collect blood samples from humans undetected.

Some of them would head deep into universe seven, where a certain emperor resides. Frieza would feel the ship shaking and he would decide to take a look himself. He'd see many soldiers on the ground, bleeding. "Hmm?"

The dark creatures would've taken blood from them and now would turn toward Frieza, flying at him. He chuckles and launches death beams that pierce their chests, expecting them to instantly die.

The creatures wouldn't have any organs or vital parts. Seeing the threat, they screech as many more fly into the ship, surrounding the emperor. Frieza growls and bursts his aura to stop them.

"How dare you make me exert effort, you damn beasts?!" Frieza launches beams that send some of them flying, but wouldn't damage them. He'd continue to punch them away, but more would take their place.

Before he knows it, he feels a stabbing pain in his back, as he'd turn to see one creature taking his blood with a needle as its hand. He grinds his teeth as he then yells, powering up into his golden form.

He grabs the creature's arm, ripping it off. Black smoke would pour out of its wound, confusing the emperor, as it would reconnect with its arm. After it finishes extracting the emperor's blood, all the creatures would start to fly out.

Frieza would be even more ticked off that they're treating him as a fool. He launches an energy beam that incinerates a couple of them, but the others would escape. "Damn these things!"

He runs over to see the hole in his ship and that the creatures are long gone. He clenches his fists before he takes a deep breath and smirks. "No matter. I'll find wherever they came from and blow them all up."

Frieza pauses, before walking over to a coughing soldier, wrapping his tail around their neck and picking them up abruptly. "Go to the control panel and request a ship repair or die."

He tosses the soldier down, who gets up and runs off. He powers down from his golden form and sighs. "Those creatures... Perhaps they are connected to that so-called Qhuteus. As much as I hate it, I must train to take him down, should he threaten my empire. I wouldn't mind him disposing of those monkeys, though."

To Be Continued in Chapter Twenty One

The final battle is soon to come! The battle with mortals and gods against three powerful individuals. We also had Gohan unlocking God Ki and powering up his ultimate form.
