AN: Hello guys! Seventh chapter here! Hope you enjoy it!
It had been nearly a hundred years since Seren was back to the Earth of DBZ, and it was a fun time for her.
In the almost-century she stayed on the planet, she had tried many things in her long life.
Dancing, singing, sparring with her pseudo-children that she created via the Birthing Egg she had, and she had even tried teaching like she once was when she was Emi, with a huge amount of awkwardness.
Turns out, living in the wild alone with the only moments talking with others being when she would either eat or spar with them gave a large hit to her social skills. Her penchant to go on trips through the planets with the sole goal of either seeing or eating the inhabitants or a portion of them wasn't exactly helping.
Seren was no social butterfly back when she was Emi and got her chance to be reincarnated by Megami, but damn, her skills became almost non-existent.
Like a true Isekai protagonist, she could say.
Thus, she started trying to shake off that rust and stop being a hikikomori, who is only different from the normal ones by prefering to live in caves instead of the basement of one's parents. It was quite annoying, she would be honest, having to teach after years (or two decades if one counted how long she stayed in that Naruto dimension) of being a hikikomori, but it was better than nothing. Luckily she still had the memories of her first life as well as the many teaching memories from people she killed during the years.
"And remember, page 30 for homework." she spoke to her students who all nodded seriously as the bell rang and they exited the classroom. The students, just like she expected from the early Dragon Ball story, were quite varied and different from the appearances and races.
So far, the classes she had taught humanoid sheeps, humans, furries, anthropomorphic animals, some vampires and even a couple of ghosts. And if there was one thing that this kind of diversity allowed her to do, it was to just appear in her original form with no problem at all.
Which is why, having decided to not bother with disguising herself, she hadn't bothered hiding her true form at all, with her lavender skin, long blue hair and three red eyes visible to all. And no one even blinked at her whenever she walked on the street. The sight of a woman with her appearance was such a normal thing that no one even bothered to care, not too much at most, anyways.
Seren, wearing a black blazer and a long black skirt, collected the paper before she herself left the classroom. It wasn't a large school, partly because the world was still progressing albeit slightly, and mostly because the school in question was surprisingly one of the more "normal" ones that existed on this Earth.
Situated in Gingertown, the aptly named Gingertown Academy was basically that, a normal academy that was simply focused on teaching the ways of the world, math, writing, and such, there was nothing like a fancy fighting style or unique techniques taught in it, though one can always do so in their time outside of it, and it was mostly for students who are between fifteen and twenty years old.
And Seren was obviously one of the teachers in the academy.
'Ah, the golden chance to torment the youth with the dreaded homework, I think I can say I missed you quite a lot.' she chuckled to herself as she left the school perimeter and went to her new house.
It was, like most the houses in the city, a rather normal-sized one even by the standards of her first life, and it simply held most of the necessities for an earthling; a kitchen, a bathroom, bedroom, living room and a couple of guest rooms. Nothing fancy, but it worked just fine as far as the Chaos Eater felt, and if she felt confined, she can always return to her cave in the forest.
Life is good.
Muten Roshi was walking aimlessly in the streets with no real destination. Wearing his qipao and holding his stick, he continued the march, his mind wandering between his memories of Mutaito, his old master who had died to seal that demon king Piccolo.
It wasn't something pleasant to remember, but he simply couldn't let it go, the experience just in the back of his mind, always ready to make an appearance once more.
Which was partly what had him go on such walks, it helped him get tranquility and peace of mind as he saw the world in peace. Sure, there would be the occasional criminal, kidnapper, and the general thugs in general, but it was nothing compared to what happened nearly two hundred years prior.
'Hah, even when I am 219 years old, I still can't leave the past alone.' he sighed as he approached one of the famous bars in the city he found himself in; Gingertown.
This was the other part of why he was walking with no real goal in mind.
If the first reason was due to his experience as a martial artist and the memory of how he was too weak to help his master, then the second one was much more in tune with his other facet of his personality which he showed almost always as long as there was no real danger: indulging in a small or large amount of hedonism, depending on how he felt at that time.
Alcohol, impressing the ladies, these were things he truly enjoyed back then and even to this day, which is why he even started making his own dirty magazines almost a century ago. Truly, he had surprised himself when he made them as he hadn't expected how fun that could be. Nor did he predict how far they would be desired by the masses.
He didn't expect himself to get that amount of zeni out of that, to be honest, and him using that money to ask for pizza delivery to his house, which was still on a different island where only he lived along with his phoenix was quite entertaining for the old martial artist. Seeing the delivery man try his hardest to cross the ocean to give him the pizza, with the occasional not half-bad martial artist being the one delivering it. Though he always gave them a few hundred zeni as a tip. It was quite chuckle-worthy seeing their reactions the first few times he did that.
"I guess it's time to get drunk then?" Roshi asked himself as he entered the bar, getting hit by the rather usual sight of dancers in skimpy dresses entertaining the guests and patrons alike with their moves. People were gulping their drinks with various levels of being drunk, and Roshi was sure that some of them would probably go to a love hotel later, with others going to the hospital or simply being kicked out after being completely unconscious.
"Hi, the usual, please." he took his chair and told the waitress his request who had long known him for months, simply nodded and left to prepare his order. Meanwhile, he simply waited for his drink while looking at the customers, wondering what might happen as he sharpened his senses just a little bit.
It was relatively tame and calm right now, but a fight could break at any moment, and it just wouldn't do if he got blindsided.
Senses expanding, he felt as if everything's nature was bared to his mind. He could feel everyone around him, full of life, and generally feeling almost about to fall asleep due to the beverages. Some were more awake than others, as expected.
There were also other feelings he could pick up, wether with his eyes or skills; disappointment for something, lust for a waitress, anger due to being teased or provoked, and there was...
Behind his glasses, his eyes narrowed just a fraction more than usual.
He had just felt a ki that was almost quite larger than normal, but it had seemingly shrunk immediately to feel the same as other non-martial artists. A mistake in his senses? Or was he simply imagining things?
He moved just enough to look in the direction of the ki, but he saw a rather attractive woman who really stood out from her looks and who seemed to be sitting with a couple of other women.
'Lavender skin, blue hair and three eyes.' he thought as he apparaised her body up and down. She was indeed one pretty woman, and rather unusual in her appearance compared to other Earthlings, and the turtle hermit was quite confident in that assessment.
Still, that wasn't the most bizarre thing he had ever seen in his admittedly long life. King Piccolo was one bizarre-looking and rather dangerous one, after all.
'Is she the one though, or am I just imagining it?' he mused as he picked his order, eyes still darting towards the woman that piqued his interest. The other two ladies with her had no real feel of power to them, ki clearly feeling in the same range as a normal person. The woman in question seemed to have no more ki than a regular person as well, and there was this strange feeling of familiarity...
Did he meet her before? Roshi was sure he would remember seeing such a pretty woman before.
'What am I thinking? Of course I didn't meet her before.' He shook his head. Clearly he was simply too tired and his mind is playing tricks on him.
"Time to get wasted then..." he sighed as he started drinking.
Just another day in his life.
'Man, that was close.' Seren took a breath as she left the bar after she finished her outing with her coworkers.
She had honestly not expected Roshi to enter the bar, nor did she think that such coincidence would occur. It was honestly great that she noticed him checking people's ki immediately then lowered her own to that of a normal Earthling. The thousands of memories of other creatures and ninjas she consumed along with her innate ki control helped a lot, and then she had to use the memories to act like nothing happened for the old martial artist when he started sizing her up, no doubt wondering if she was capable of controlling ki or not.
Thankfully, it seemed to work splendidly since he just kept drinking and stopped looking towards her after minutes. She really wasn't interested in interacting with him at the moment, at least not without transforming her looks just like she did when she turned into a Himejima Akeno clone and went to his island to have fun at his expense.
And definitely not when there was at least a hundred years, more or less, before the start of Canon, and she has no interest in changing things on her own. Though if somehow her consuming thousands of aliens from other planets managed to impact the original plot (especially with Freeza, Buu and Babidi), then she will deal with that, though not anytime soon, preferably.
'Now, what to do for the moment?' she thought as she was now in an alley, away from the eyes of possible observers before she flew away to her cave in the forest. She was sure that even Roshi didn't notice. She supressed her ki that much.
'Make another wish? Nah, not this year. Plus, I wished plenty using Shenron's powers.' she pondered before dismissing the idea of more wishes.
She had made quite the list of wishes for Shenron during the century she was on this planet, though she decided to make it a wish every two years instead of every single year like she originally thought back when she was with Megami.
Not to mention, with the timeline of the Canon series, Roshi was bound to find the three-star Dragon Ball on his island merely a year later, so better not risk it... though the definition of 'risking it' is rather loose since at worst she could simply transform into another attractive female form and give him the ball as a gift and make some cryptic future nonsense about saviour of earth coming to him if he kept the ball. Maybe that'll work. If not, well, she will deal with the changes then or just roam the other dimensions.
There was so many reaities she'd like to visit after all.
Seren looked at the bright sky, halting the thoughts about the future, she decided to go and hunt for something. Her stomach was quite gluttonous!
As she marched to kill something and satisfy her cravings, she didn't notice or sense as dozens of kilometers above the ground, a figure was looking at her direction.
Kami, standing in his lookout, looked towards her direction, easily able to see whatever that can happen on Earth due to his Far-Seeing ability.
He was able feel her existence for a long while by now, and she was honestly a bit careless it seemed. Dis she really think that he can't notice whenever she summoned Shenron?
It was rather smart to summon the Eternal Dragon at night not to arouse suspicion, and she did indeed do so. But he was still able to notice it when she did it this frequently.
Still, she seemed to be rather uninterested in doing anything truly villainous, which is why he did not try to interfere against or for her actions. Her eating other beings didn't even register as inherently evil act to him, even when it was other humans she fed upon, knowing that she was an alien entity just like he and the previous Earth's god was. He just could feel it in his veins, how she was simply so different from Earthlings.
But even so, he couldn't help but ponder on what she planned to do later. So far, she had not shown any ill intent or desire to annihilate the world, and he hoped that it stayed that way for a long time.
"What are you trying to achieve, Seren?" he asked no one, and even Mr. Popo just looked at him silently, not needing to speak to show his own worry.
They both knew that the moment she decided to be an enemy, they would need to pull all the stops, but that was yet to be seen.
Another day in her life, and another meal to feed her mouth.
Seren sighed with content as she swam under the ocean, enjoying the sensation of water surrounding her body, the remaining parts of the shark she consumed allowed to drift with its flow. Honestly, she wondered if it was a waste of a good meal or just a bout of generosity that she left some of the corpse to move in the ocean.
Another year had passed and it was time to put the three-star dragon ball on Roshi's island, which she did of course, and she had also put the other dragon balls where they were supposed to be, or at least close to said locations.
Now, she has to wait nearly another century before Goku is born and meets Bulma and starts the whole Dragon Ball story, and another decade before the DBZ storyline (or should she say this world's possible future events?) begins, which was what she wanted.
"Interfering with the original Dragon Ball events, well, other than how much me summoning Shenron and eating so many beings did, anyways, is just going to be too bothersome. Better leave this planet alone for now, or just keep to myself. Well, aside from my job as a teacher, I have a couple more years before I will ask for retirement." she mused, her voice clear even underwater. "Can't say that I don't like the job, it's a source of fun and quite the entertainment."
True, especially since it changed her routine from simply waking up, eating, killing, eating, killing and eating a bit more, and maybe travel to a planet, to waking up, teaching the horde of zombies that are collectively called students, and sometimes, literal zombies are her students, then doing the usual stuff like killing random animals or criminals. How fun it was to throw homework at these students just like she did long ago when she was a human. Fun times indeed.
As she was being nostalgic, she finally rose to the surface, she took her time as she walked on the liquid, no need to worry about being watched as she was simply too far away from civilization in the middle of the ocean.
A smile appeared on her face. "Maybe I should then visit another planet? It had been years since I actually did so, preferring to stay on this one."
Oh, yes, it was time for another adventure. IN SPACE.
And she had quite the list of planets that she'd like to visit for a couple of days at least.
That would be fun, especially since some of these planets have inhabitants easily stronger than Saiyan Saga Vegeta, though they were in quite the far away galaxies.
But what's an interstellar trip for her, right?
It was a truly terrifying planet for any human or non-ki user to ever step on this monsterosity, Seren believed.
As she looked from the window on her spaceship, amazed at the sight in front of her.
KOI-55, it was a planet that existed in her universe long before she died and got reincarnated, and this planet had practically a similar copy of it in this reality as well.
Once a large gaseus giant, it had been swallowed by its star, yet it continued to exist instead of being disintegrated, surviving and only losing most of its own mass, leaving behind a planet that was just a bit smaller than Earth, with a heat reaching 8000 celsius,, a heat rather higher than what most stars' surfaces can reach.
Though, this version of it was quite more stubborn, it seemed, looking three times larger than Earth, and with a thick atmosphere made of ash and orange vapor of some unidentified substance that the
"Well, that's one hell of a planetary furnace." Seren mused as the spaceship was out of the planet's atmosphere, and she wondered if she needs to visit the planet by herself without letting the ship enter it.
High-tech or a gift from Megami, Seren wasn't planning on seeing wether it can survive such heat and not simply melt or even vaporize under that hellish inferno.
Putting the spaceship in the Kamui dimension after exiting it, she flew in the emptiness of space towards KOI-55.
Entering the atmosphere was not exactly pleasant even from the moment her body fell towards it.
It was hot, unbearably so, from what her senses could notice, and it was only thanks to her ki and the many racial abilities she had from many species, along with her being a ki entity that she could even survive.
She doubted that she would have survived if she didn't consume the Bijuus or have the genes of Frieza's race, she would have probably combusted. She wasn't sure how much ki one must have to survive this inferno, but she doubted that Vegeta would survive in this world, at least the Namek Saga one would probably not.
And even if that version of him had enough ki, the atmosphere alone gave such high pressure that it easily was five to ten times higher than Earth. Any normal being, even if they had a spacesuit capable of dealing with the intense heat, would find themselves dying due to the extreme pressure on their bodies, even if the gravity was barely five times higher than that of Earth. And she was pretty sure the pressure will only increase even further when she reaches the ground.
Her body kept falling through the armosphere, her surroundings completely dark from the sheer density of the gases and vapor around her, and as she inhaled, she found the taste rather repulsive, and she was pretty sure that it was poisonous as hell. Just breathing it once made it clear that if it was not for her biology, her lungs would be scorched and she would probably be dead in minutes without help or if she didn't learn how to use some healing techniques.
Thank Megami that being a ki entity helps her ignore poison, at least ones that aren't ki-related.
Finally, after what felt like hours (but was probably a second in real time), Seren saw the light as she had fallen far enough that the thick gases weren't as dense, and she got to see the ground of this hellzone.
"Huh, quite fiery, really." she told herself as her eyes gazed on the lava that sizzled and moved on the surface, bubbles of scorching liquid rising every so often before bursting, unleashing noxious orange and yellow fumes into the atmosphere while the liquids return to the ever-flowing magma.
It bears repeating; any normal being who doesn't have a high temperature resistance, or anyone without sufficient ki to guard themselves will simply die, corrode, and vaporize. Seren was certain that if she turned off the ki shield around her body, it would at least be annoying to deal with the flames that would engulf her lungs.
She won't die, but it might destabilize her body functions for a moment, so not the most desired result really.
As she finally made contact with the ground, it hissed and released more gases from contact, lava no doubt attempting to burn and melt her legs which were naturally protected with ki. Not even her shoes will be damaged as long as her ki is high enough to protect her body.
Another thing she noticed from walking was that the lava in this planet was more like real magma, except simply way hotter. Surprisingly, lava was actually solid unlike what most stories show of magma being simple liquid existence. It was liquid in the way that it naturally moved freely, but it was also a molten and dense earth and other melted elements, so if one survived the atmosphere, and made contact with the surface of KOI-55, they don't need to worry about dropping inside the magma like one would drop inside a pool.
Seren though was more interested in the ki signatures she was picking off with her senses, ones that were rather deep inside the scorching lava and heat.
It was rather useless to try to see it with the Byakugan, since these creatures were more than three kilometers deep, and no Byakugan she had consumed can reach that far. Diving into the lava and trying to find what they looked like (assuming all creatures of this planet look the same) was of course a possibility, and it would work with the Byakugan.
But it could mean trouble if she went too deep. There was a rather large ki signature that seemed to be quite high, almost as high as Broly even, though it felt rather dormant and it seemed to be quite sleepy, but it seemed to be in the center of the planet, or close to that, and she couldn't notice any entity close to it even kilometers away from whatever creature it was.
She pondered on what to do about it. She really doubted it would take kindly for her to enter its area. Hopefully it won't have any overpowered abilities if she decided to fight it.
"I guess I will leave it for now." she spoke to herself, ki enemating from her, "Better try fighting other creatures first to get an idea of what I am probably going to face."
With that, she dumped herself inside the magma, allowing her body to move on its own while she focused on using her byakugan version to see through the surrounding area and get close enough to any of these creatures that seemed to swim lazily in this scorching ocean. She doubted they even noticed her, though maybe they are used to their preys and predators to be relatively close around a few dozen meters at most, not away by whole kilometers. Unless they were particularly hungry, but that may be besides the point.
'Thank Megami for the Byakugan,' she thought as her sight was filled with orange and yellow, instead of pitch black that one would normally see since lava isn't see-through.
After what felt like minutes, she had finally was deep enough to see at least what kind of creatures this planet seemed to have, or at least one of the many types that possibly exist.
'Hah. Quite large, this thing.' she thought as her Byakugan saw through the magma and got an image of the being that was the closest to her.
A serpentine entity whose mouth could easily swallow dozens of someone her size in one bite, and extending for nearly a couple hundreds of meters. It had a yellow-ish skin fully covered in scales, and surprisingly it had no eyes, and its mouth contained sharp teeth for meters on end. And if that wasn't enough, it had many spikes outside its body, from its head to the end of its tail, easily reaching the hundreds, and she was sure they were sharp enough to cut any other creature on this planet except the abnormally large signature residing in the center.
'Interesting.' Seren wondered. 'Hard scales, and sharp spikes and teeth, not really strange. But no eyes? Must then have a thermal vision or an ability to sense vibrations, or simply feel ki and life energy for it to be able to move, find prey and catch it.'
She can understand that evolutionary process. After all, if these creatures lived on this planet for so long, then they would adapt after generations or they existed with the innate ability to thrive in this environment. Being always below lava required a level of speed, and since they can't usually see through the lava, they lost the need for eyes, or were simply born without one, their bodies deciding to simply focus on sensing presences and movements.
Well, she was sure that this snake was rather fast for something with the power level of 10,000. Mostly because it seemed to be one of the 'predators' of this planet.
Maybe it was time to try to take that thing and see how it tastes then.
With that thought, she moved towards the giant yellow serpant, taking her time since there was no rush for her. Only when she was barely a dozen meters away did it notice her, its head moving towards her direction.
For something like it, who can feel the vibrations, and see the world using temperature, an entity like her stuck like a sore thumb due to her being much cooler than the environment it was in.
Even as it opened its mouth, lava entering, a loud hiss was heard nonetheless, one of anger at the intruder. An intruder that despite being short, was too different than 'him!'
How dare this creature enter this place? This creature was not 'him', its master! Only the master had visited every few months, and this creature was clearly not him! Too short even compared to the short master, too thin and way less muscular compared to the physique of the master!
A growl emitted from its being, one of rage. This creature that trespassed on its house, and was clearly defying its master, would be killed without mercy!
A roar resounded as it moved swiftly towards Seren who noticed the immediate reaction, and decided to create ropes of ki, naturally extremely dense, and threw them at the serpant that seemed to just rampage at her due to being hangry. Not that she can blame it, though she was more of lustful when hungry or eating without restraining her reactions.
Dozens of thick ropes moved at a rapid speed, and some were dodged due to the large snake's speed and Seren being in a rather fun mood, but it took just a few moments before the snake found itself caught in them.
It roared and wailed, thrashing against its bindings with force, and the ropes broke some of the many spikes covering its body due to that and to firmly catch it.
"Sorry about that, big guy, well, not really. But nonetheless, you will be used as one of the many to fill my stomach and make me stronger." Seren didn't really need to talk to what looked like an overgrown snake, but then again, it was rather fun to talk at times.
She moved through the lava, almost touching the spikes of the serpant, and its screams started to feel like wails of sorrow and wishing for mercy.
"Poor thing, let me end your suffering now." she said, preparing to eat it...
And her breath stopped.
'What?' her eyes widened as she tried to move, but her body couldn't respond.
What's going on? Is this a paralysis ability? Then her body would easily get used to it just by focusing her ki.
But it didn't happen. Even as she did her best, even as everything crawled to a halt, she still couldn't move an inch.
'Just what's happening!?' she thought furiously, before the the world seemed to blur, as pain invaded every cell of her being.
"Guhaa!" A choked voice escaped her lips as she was forcefully pushed from her place, deep into the planet, and exiting from the other side.
She gasped, finally capable of breathing she didn't realise she wanted, but it was short-lived as pain invaded her senses again, and she find herself pushed against the lava, and a large foot pressing against her back, almost piercing through it.
"Now, now, that wasn't nice, little girl." the voice of a male, she realized, spoke to her. It was a deep voice and she felt that it seemed to demand respect, even with the sheer calm and casual attitude it was spoken.
"Wh-what?" she rasped, only now sensing something truly, horribly problematic, disasterous even.
The pressure on her increased ever so slightly, and it was really good she was made of ki, or her bones would be broken at this point.
Just from this, she can understand one large fact; this person had so much ki he can ignore her own defenses and break through them like nothing mattered.
A sigh escaped the guy immobilizing her with his leg, seemingly offended by the question she asked, and she used the chance to use the Byakugan to see him...
A large, heavily muscular man with a pitch-black skin, legs with only three long toes, one which was clearly stepping on her and using ki to stop her from freeing herself. A bare abdomen that had a seemingly white gem embedded into it, and going up, a head that seemed to have a white helmet right above these predatory eyes where another white gem was present, and on each side of the head, a long horn appeared.
There was a similarity to someone, but she couldn't recall who it was, and the pain didn't help her really.
Rinnegan activated, she used Shinra Tensei, throwing everything around her away. Yet his leg stayed on her back, as if he never felt it.
"The generation of today, always impatient yet clueless." he spoke, seemingly heartbroken.
Seren decided to use the Preta path and absorb his energy, at least to heal herself, but just as soon as she started draining energy, she found herself painfully thrown through space, before another hit brought her down to the ground, this time she managed to balance herself barely after she crossed half of the planet, barely missing what she once thought to be the strongest entity on this planet.
It was clear that whoever that man was, he was clearly far above her.
'I couldn't even see him coming.' she thought with shock. 'No, even sensing it wasn't possible. One moment I was on my own, then the next he was immobilizing and using me as a human pinball!' she tried to focus as much as possible, and created some Gudodama, the Truth Seeking Orbs to probably protect herself if possible, using one of them as a shield and others as spikes.
Hopefully this will stop him for the moment.
'But, who was he?' whe wracked her brain, 'There's a sense of deja vu when I saw him, and his power was monsterous! And there's no way he is Beerus or even Buu! He looks so different. Yet I must have seen him somewhere, or someone similar to him!'
"You are a bit calmer now, I suppose?" once again, he spoke, as if he was talking to a guest than a target, and she could see that he was crossing his arms with a calm expression on his face.
Seren kept herself silent, and he sighed again. "No respect, I see. So, little girl, what are you doing here? Didn't you know that this planet belongs to me?"
It belongs to him? She raised her eyebrows at that. He was the ruler of this planet? That felt rather outlandish. He didn't look like he belonged here, then again, she only saw that giant serpant, so this man might be this world's ruler, unless...
"By the words 'belongs to me,' are you saying that you were born here, or... do you mean that you conquered it?" she asked.
He gave her a pleasant smile, yet even then, she felt her skin shivering as if a large predator was looking at her, which might not be so wrong right now.
"Indeed, this planet is mine, I conquered it a long while ago, though all things considered, it's more like making these adorable creatures into well-behaved pets." he stated, "and you tried to kill one of them while I was around, but being the gentleman I am, I would have forgiven such mistake at the small price of you working under me and my empire."
Under... him? Empire?
The puzzle seemed to solve itself about who this guy was, and her brain tried to see the final result, but she didn't like the implications. She really did not.
He bowed to her, and alarms in her head were deafening, and she knew that this was very much not good.
"Not to mention, that it's because of you that I even knew that this power was possible, only because you were freely indulging in killing other races that I found just how far I can go. If it was only that, I would be feeling upset for a while that I had to kill you, since it would be like killing a benefactor, however unintentional it was from your side, but..."
And then he stopped smiling.
"You damaged my empire."
Seren tried to breathe, but nothing came out of it. Her body stopped moving entirely, she wasn't even capable of moving her eyelids.
A pulsing, twisted aura that seemed to just subjugate anything it touches started enemating from him, as the reality seemed to blacken and cease to exist.
Her mouth could only make choked noises as his face looked furious. "You ruined many promising planets, many races that I would have wanted to amass under my rule."
'I can't breathe! Oh, I- I can't even focus! I- I am feeling terrified of this guy!' Seren tried to do anything to even move, yet she was still unable to. She couldn't even muster any will to use anything in her arsenal.
A small part of her mind, that wasn't consumed by sheer terror, wondered if her heart would be beating if she wasn't a ki entity, and the same part felt that she would get a heart attack by now if that was the case.
"Do you think that I should forgive such transgressions on my person?" the noxious, cruel ki grew even further, almost swallowing the sky of the planet, twisting and slithering everywhere around them, as everything seemed to wither and die.
The Gudodama seemed rather insignificant against the sheer pressure he enemated, and the identity of who he was became obvious in the next moment.
"I am King Cold." A voice so cold she felt she would be vaporized from the sheer heat and intensity of it resounded. "And you will know the price for touching what is mine."
The weight seemed to increase a thousand folds, maybe millions more, but she couldn't even bother to see the difference as his ki, malevolent and black as night seemed to consume anything her eyes could see. Her Byakugan, despite boasting a large distance, could only see darkness whereever she tried to look, and his energy was so dense and all-present around them that she could only feel it and nothing else even with her ability to sense from solars systems away.
Everything seemed to fade as if she was a normal human, swallowed in an ocean of sludge, unable to move, unable to breathe, and unable to defy.
All what consumed her mind was a wave of primal fear and disgust as he gazed at her, like she was a cancerous cell that was trying to ruin his body. And even more so, she felt rage at her supposed role in this change.
It was fine, it wouldn't probably be that big of a problem, and even if it was, she was so far stronger than Frieza and Buu that she could defeat them easily. That was her thought process back then.
Now? She felt like laughing at how idiotic she was at that time.
'H-how, ridiculous...' even her eyes were unable to close, 'To think that my actions would have him of all people, a character who was nothing but fodder, to be this powerful...! And I... I caused this... Don't make me laugh! Like I would accept such ending!'
How she wanted to grit her teeth. Even fighting Broly back then was nothing like this. Even he couldn't just stop her ability to even move like this, nor did he give this sheer feeling of malice and violence.
She wondered just how she can survive this disaster of an encounter, and she lamented the fact that she didn't wish for the ability to revive herself if she died.
Wishing for an insane regeneration? Power to understand any ability she can have? Power to weaken anyone she wanted in her presence to that of a mere human's level? To always be faster than her enemies? To erase whatever she hit on a conceptual level? To be immune from body swapping? To have the bodies of her killed victims recreated and become under her control and give them eternal life, therefore gaining an army she can summon whenever she wanted, even if she never needed to? To turn those with corrupted hearts into salt?
All of that seemed rather useless and pathetic, against someone with just so much power and aura, that it basically shut down her ability to even use them just by his mere presence!
"Farewell." King Cold stated, a calm expression on his face as his fist clenched and his power condensed, and she knew that if that hit, she would just die.
'No. I- I...' ki flared from her body, terror consumed with the sheer rage, 'I will not accept this! I refuse! I- I will not tolerate this ending!"
The imaginary shackes on her body seemed to break, as a furious yell gave just the slightest crack on the tangible darkness that seemed to swallow the entire world they were on, limbs finally moving as the glow of purple ki, laced with electricity rampaged through her body. Hair, once dark blue, grew in size reachint to her legs, turning a metallic blue.
Her fist raised, she amassed her own ki, and unleashed it against him as his own moved towards her, him not looking even surprised at her change.
"Be SHATTERED! KING COLD!" a scream that threatened to tear her throat echoed, as the power to accelerate herself, and the power to just annihilate whatever her fist hit pulsed in her veins.
There was not even a thought on using Kamui to turn intangible, nor was there any attempt to see if she can use the Gudodama or the Shiki Fuin, no need to even try to run away. He will just break through them as easily as he consumed this planet with his ki, her instincts roared. Then she will just take this head-on.
Each fist, imbued by each one's absolute trust in their own ability, their reality, as they made contact.
There was no sound as the very reality twisted, an empty void erasing all matter the shockwaves of their clash had reached. No light as the very photons simply ceased to exist either to a sea of black ki or the sheer desire to erase anything one's fist touched.
And the victor of that simple clash was...
King Cold's arm, full of ki, bled ever-so-slightly as most of the energy surrounding it disappeared, not even enough to make a single drop of blood, even as it continued to move forward, and the body of the Chaos Eater was thrown so far away from the planet, far away from the galaxy, continuing its unwanted flight as the barrier of the speed of light was broken a quadrillion times over, disintegrating as the ki holding it together was vanishing at an alarming rate, dissipating as nothing but the feeling of numbness swallowed her.
The light of the reality as she flew by, mesmerizing in the face of absolute defeat, before even that seemed to cease to exist, before resuming again.
Time lost its meaning as she pondered how long will she keep moving, until she finally, could see things clearly, as an inferno of heat and the sensation of making contact with the ground met her, using a hefty percentage of her remaining ki, barely enough to reach the level of Muten Roshi, to protect herself from death, as the heat disappeared just as fast, showing the the beautiful night sky, stars glittering as if giving peace.
"I lost, huh. How sad." she really couldn't feel the urge to even feel sad as a smile graced her lips, only a single head remaining from her body.
"No doubt I will be really furious later, if I survive until I wake up again... I am just so tired..." her eyes slowly closed as her ki was barely higher than a normal human child.
"And if I don't, well that would be a problem, for soul-me..."
And Seren's world became black.
AN: And end! Of course, the series won't end, this is just the "first arc" so to speak. Though if I didn't return to it, you can enjoy this as a 'finished' story. Hopefully, see you later! Also, hope you see the blatant references for one of my favourite series (even if I only like the battles because that's the only thing that I like the most lol) Again, review, because that's what makes writers happy, and thanks for your time!
