Last time on Dragonball Super after powering up to his maximum Beerus decimated the Super Saiyan Gods and prepared to finish them off when Gohan channeling his anger and will transformed back into a Super Saiyan God more powerful than ever healing the area and people around him. With this new power will it be enough to finish the God of Destruction or will Beerus still be one step ahead? Find out today on Dragonball Super!
As both aura clashed Beerus and Gohan gazes were locked at each other. Lifting up his finger Beerus shot out a beam at Gohans head who with a crane of his neck easily avoided it. "Impressive. No mortal has dodged a full power attack like that, but let's see what happens when you can't dodge." Aiming an attack at Goku Beerus fired.
As it came towards the full blooded Saiyan who has just begun to regain his barrings it was suddenly deflected with a simple slap. Now protecting his father Gohan yelled out for everyone to hear. "Everyone get out of here now! At this rate you guys will only get in the way!" Taking Gohans advice everyone got up and began to head towards the others. For a moment Goten turned his head towards Gohan. "Don't die bro." The Half Saiyan said. Turning his attention towards his opponent Gohan retorted. "Wasn't planning on it."
Now the only two left in the once wasteland now forest only a few seconds passed until the first move was made. And that was by Gohan who in a quick burst of speed attempted a chop to Beerus midsection only to be blocked by a knee. Now in a stalemate both fighters now battled with their auras as they struck each other sparking like fireworks and draped over the entire area.
On Gohans side the entire forest sprung to life with more flowers and plants springing up in milliseconds, and on Beerus side the forest wilted and dried up quickly turning back into the barren wasteland it once was. Backing off both studied each other trying to come up with a strategy. Deciding to make the next move Beerus this time outstretched his hand and shot a huge Ki Blast at the Super Saiyan God.
Shifting into a defensive stance Gohan with a shove of his hand sent a Kiai at it, but before it could connect to Gohans shock the blast separated into 10 small blasts now moving at incredible speed towards him. Realizing he didn't have time to counter Gohan flew upwards as fast as he can only to see that the blasts were locked onto him. Taking the offensive Gohan cupping his fists shot out a Quick Kamehameha destroying most of the blasts now only leaving 2. Before he could do anything Gohan now found himself in a full nelson by Beerus.
Thinking on his feet Gohan instead of fighting against it shifted his body weight backwards with the God of Destruction flipping them over and now making Beerus the target of the blasts.
BOOM
Hitting Beerus full force he was unable to keep his hold locked onto Gohan who then broke free and attacked him with a mighty punch causing shock waves around the entire planet. Going for another one it was quickly parried by a recovered Beerus leaving the Half Saiyan wide open for a counterattack. Cocking his fist back Beerus struck Gohan with a mighty uppercut to the jaw sending him flying at supersonic speeds.
Traveling for hundreds of miles in just a few seconds Gohan trying to regain his barrings stopped in his tracks with a burst of Ki. Unfortunately, Beerus immediately capitalized on this and brought his hands down with a Double Axe Handle to the top of his head plummeting Gohan to the ground creating a massive crater. Groaning Gohan slowly climbed himself out of the ground and looked around to see himself now in an Arctic area with ice and snow all around him.
Sensing something coming towards him the Half Saiyan looked up to see a massive Ki Ball coming towards him. Putting his hands up just in time he caught the attack but that didn't do much good as now Gohan found himself sinking further into the ground. As Beerus waited to see if Gohan would survive this the Ki Ball further sunk into the ground until finally it halted. Smirking Beerus for a second stood there as he saw Gohan slowly coming out of the ground now pushing the attack back. "I applaud your determination but let's see if that will be enough to survive this."
Hearing the God of Destructions words Gohan looked up to see the Gods left hand form into a snapping motion and realized what he meant. "Oh no!" And with that a snap rang throughout the air.
BOOM
And with that the ball burst in a fiery explosion wiping out the entire Arctic area reducing it to a dry wasteland. As Beerus overlooked the area with the Super Saiyan God nowhere in sight a sense of disappointment overwhelmed him at the idea of his prophesied rival already being finished. Suddenly the ground began to shake and soon a pillar of Earth shot from the ground rising higher and higher until finally it was level with Beerus and on it was Gohan but not completely undamaged. His outer orange shirt completely destroyed now all that was left was a torn blue vest. His body showed some scruffs and tears but that was mainly it.
Seeing his opponent relatively fine after that Beerus took a few moments to clap. "Very good no mortal has ever survived that attack but you're no longer just an average mortal but a true God unlike your friends. Tell me how does it feel to now be the strongest in the Universe the fact that almost no one can beat you. As a Fighter and especially as a Saiyan i imagine it must feel intoxicating to be the best."
Taking a moment to look at his body Gohan sighed exhaustively. "All my life ever since i was a kid I've had to fight for my life and the lives of others because sometimes no one else was able to do it. All i wanted was to live a normal life like everyone else. Now don't get me wrong i like fighting but only as a sport but in life and death situations i absolutely hate it. And twice i thought that was actually possible that i would never have to fight for my life ever again. But i was wrong even after my father trusted me to keep everyone safe because of my selfishness the entire Universe was nearly destroyed. Today i finally realize that too keep the lives of my family and friends safe i can no longer afford to simply sit back and let as everyone else handle the fight to protect Earth. So to answer your question Beerus i don't care about being better than everyone else all i care about is simply being strong enough to protect the ones i care about."
For a few moments the two fighters just stood there until suddenly Beerus chuckled heartily much to Gohans confusion. "I see now why you alone were able to do what the four could not. Unlike them you take no pleasure from fighting and instead your goal is too purely to protect life forcing your mind and body to unlock the true Godly power that is a Super Saiyan God in order to protect them." And with that Beerus shifted into a fighting stance. "Then come on Son Gohan show me the true power that is the will to protect those you love!"
Nodding Gohan also shifted into a fighting stance similar to his fathers and for a brief second the two were like statues. Immediately both attacked each other in blazing speeds red and purple clashed and swirled like never before as no one not even Whis was able to see what was going on. Meanwhile the entire Earth began to rock and shake unable to handle the intensity of the two fighters.
"At this rate the planet will be destroyed in a matter of minutes." Tapping on his staff a bubble began to surround the area Gohan and Beerus were fighting and with another tap the two fighters were immediately sent to outer space. Feeling the change of area the two fighters immediately deceased and looked around to seem themselves above Earths atmosphere. "It seems Whis decided to change our location. No matter let us continue."
As the fight dragged on everyone was cheering on Gohan even Vegeta to a small extent who along with the others had regrouped with Whis. "Go daddy show that mean old cat who's boss!" Shouted Pan who was currently hopped up on her mothers shoulders watching her father in pure admiration. Back with the battle Gohan knocked the God away with a roundhouse to the face and immediately cupped his hands together and began to charge a Kamehameha.
Quickly regaining his senses Beerus saw what Gohan was doing and tried to stop him bt shooting out a barrage of Ki Blasts. As they rushed towards him Gohan continued to charge. "Ka-Me-Ha-Me..." As this was going on the blasts came closer and closer, but much to Beerus shock they passed right through him. Immediately his eyes shot up in realization as Gohan reappeared right behind him. "An afterimage quite clever if i must say so myself." As he turned around to try and defend himself Gohan had already struck. "HHHHHHAAAAAAAA!"
Putting all of his power into one gigantic Kamehameha Beerus was fully engulfed in the blast as it soared across space. Even being so far above Earth the planet still continued to shake and crumble from the power of the attack. After a minute Gohan had stopped the attack unable to sustain it any longer and then reverted back to his Base form now completely tapped out from the fight. Panting heavily Gohan exhaustedly looked up to see Beerus some feet away still alive much to his surprise.
Meanwhile the God was in worse for wear with his clothes and ears singed from the attack and his body partially smoking. And just like Gohan he was panting heavily showing that he too was growing tired. "Impressive. If it wasn't for my quick reflexes that blast would have killed me. But now that you have exhausted most of your power this is the end." Beerus said.
Confused Gohan quickly replied. "What are you talking about your running low as well. As far as i see it we're both running on fumes." Laughing sinisterly Beerus now gaining a smirk continued. "That's where you're wrong. You see unlike you I've been holding back some reserves just in case. Now behold my most powerful attack."
Putting his arms up Beerus began to charge his Ki and immediately a red ball began to grow from his hands growing bigger and bigger until soon it was the size of a small moon. Hovering backwards towards Earth Gohan was now too terrified to even speak. Reveling in Gohans fear for a moment Beerus cocked his arms back to throw. "You've done well Saiyan but now it's time to end this. Die with this pitiful planet!" Throwing his Sphere of Destruction Gohan desperately tried to grab it but was now to weak to even hold it back and it began to descend upon the Earth.
Meanwhile Whis seeing what was going on put down his bubble freeing everyone and before anyone could say anything teleported away as to not also be destroyed along with Earth. Looking up at their destruction for a few moments everyone stood there in resignation. "Is this really it? After everything we've been through is it really going to end like this?" Goku said in a defeated tone.
With a huff Vegeta immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan. "I don't if it is i'm certainly not going down without a fight." Suddenly Kibito Kai getting an idea spoke up. "Maybe there is a way. If we all pray." Looking at him in disbelief Vegeta spoke. "How is praying going to stop that thing?" With a sigh Kibito Kai continued. "It's said that when mortals pray to Gods then they offer their will and power to them. It's a long shot but perhaps if all of us were to pray to Gohan we could lend him our strength."
Sighing Goku got on his knees. "If it's our only chance then i say we go for it. Even if it doesn't work at least we tried." Agreeing everyone even Vegeta albeit reluctantly began to pray.
Meanwhile Gohan soon found his feet touch Earths surface as he continued to attempt to hold the Sphere back. "No there has to be a way. I can't give up now." Suddenly Gohan felt power slowly returning to his body. "What's going on?" And that's when Gohan surprising him even further began to hear voices all around him. "Please don't let my babies die like this." His mother Chichi. "Bro i know you can do it." His brother Goten. "Gohan for as long as I've been married to you I will always believe in you." His wife Videl. "Daddy you're my hero. Now show that meanie who's boss." His child Pan. This and many more prayers were heard by the Saiyan and they enveloped him with power.
Slowly Gohan with his new found strength began to push the sphere back. Suddenly Gohan transformed back into a Super Saiyan God the prayers giving him back his Godly power. Looking up much to Gohans surprise he saw not only his hands but the hands of everyone of his friends and family helping him. "With their power i know we can do this. Together we won't lose not now not ever! RRRAAAHHH!" With a mighty roar Gohan unleashed everything he had into one last attack propelling the Sphere of Destruction upward towards space.
Beerus who for a moment reveled in his victory looked down to see the Sphere was now coming right back at him. "Bu-but how?! Not only do i sense the Saiyans Godly Power once again but now i sense a multitude of powers repelling my strongest attack!" As the Sphere came closer and closer at a rapid pace Beerus thinking quickly flew away just in time to avoid being swept up in the attack.
Back with Gohan reverting once again to his Base Gohan sighing in relief collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Only a couple minutes later do our heroes arrive to help Gohan with Goten and Trunks supporting him as Dende started healing. Before anyone can celebrate Beerus and Whis arrive and immediately everyone got into a fighting stance. Raising his hand as if to say hold on Beerus began to speak calmly. "For once I'm not here to destroy you. I've simply come to say thank you."
Hearing this everyone slowly settled down with confusion obviously written on their faces. "I came here seeking the Super Saiyan God and a being to rival my power. At first i thought this planet to be deserving of destruction and that i would never find a potential rival, but i was wrong on both accounts. For that i have decided to spare your planet for today." Immediately everyone relaxed glad to have the threat of destruction over. "But that doesn't mean you are all completely off the hook. I'll be checking up from time to time too make sure my decision was correct."
Not one to let things go Whis chimed in. "Or because you just really want more of their food." Losing his composer Beerus immediately turned towards Whis in anger his aura lighting up much to the panic of our heroes. "You dare question my motives. Whis i just might have to destroy you if you continue such defiance." "Chuckling Whis quickly retorted. "Just offering a hypothetical alternative Lord Beerus as i would never dare insinuate such things." Huffing Beerus soon calmed down much to everyones relief.
Gohan who was now fully healed stood up and walked towards Beerus questioning the God. "There's something I've been wondering Lord Beerus. In our fight you mentioned me being one of the strongest in this Universe. Does that mean there are more than 1?" Rubbing his chin for a moment Beerus responded. "Why yes Gohan there are. In the Multiverse there are 12 total Universes each with their own Kaioshins and God of Destruction. For now that is all i can say but in time you may learn more. Now if you will excuse me i am very tired. Everyone especially you Kibito Kai who i plan to see later i bid you adieu."
THUD
And with that Beerus hit the ground hard falling asleep instantly much to everyone's confusion. With a wave of his staff Whis covered him and Beerus in a ubble and began to levitate. "I thank you for giving my master a good time. I hope to come back here soon and try even more scrumptious treats. Until next time ta-ta." Making their exit everyone could only look on in relief that their battle was over. Exhausted from the days events everyone soon went home to relax and enjoy their newfound piece.
With their planet spared our heroes continue to prepare for the eventual next threat to come. What trials will they face next now that they have learned of the 11 other Universes that exist throughout the Multiverse and must continue to deal with a dangerous God of Destuction?
