"No! Saiyan, I curse you to die a miserable death!" The anguished cries of the Evil Dimension's consciousness echoed as its destruction reached an irreversible stage. Its avatar had long since been shattered by Robert, leaving nothing but its crumbling essence behind.
Robert was now dismantling the dimension itself. At the current pace, it wouldn't take long to obliterate it completely. The consciousness, sensing its end, could only wail in despair—not as a final effort to retaliate, but as a hopeless scream of defiance.
"Hmph. Even at your full strength, you were no match for me. Do you think you stand a chance now, in this sorry state?" Robert sneered, his tone laced with mockery.
"If you had any curse or secret weapon, why didn't you use it when you were at your peak? What good does shouting do now? Better to save what little power you have left and extend your pitiful existence a bit longer."
BOOM!
BOOM!
Explosions rocked the dimension as Robert unleashed a relentless assault. The sound marked the final throes of the Evil Dimension.
"No! The other dimensions won't let you go unpunished! You will become a sworn enemy to all!" the consciousness cried in a last act of defiance. Instead of resisting further, it channeled its remaining energy to broadcast this warning across dimensions.
Its logic was simple: if it was destined to die, it wouldn't waste more energy fighting Robert. Instead, it would warn other dimensions of this Saiyan threat, hoping to turn them against him.
"So what if I become your enemy?" Robert scoffed. "Hasn't Earth always been your target? Yet none of you have managed to bring it down."
To Robert, such threats held no weight.
"Even if your final energy sends out this message, you're already at the end of your rope. No matter how much you curse me, you'll fall before I do. Farewell."
BOOM!
Robert's energy wave, charged to its peak, descended on the dimension. The explosion consumed everything in its wake, obliterating the dimension's space, energy, and rules. In mere moments, the Evil Dimension dissolved into dust, leaving no trace of its existence.
The transmission sent by the consciousness had barely reached the interdimensional void when the dimension's destruction was felt across realms. Dimensional entities everywhere sensed its disappearance.
The fall of the Evil Dimension did not go unnoticed. While it wasn't among the most powerful, it was far from weak, making its sudden annihilation a shock to many.
For a moment, confusion reigned. The battle had taken place within the dimension itself, leaving no external disturbances for other dimensions to detect. Only now did they become aware of its destruction, and their focus turned toward the site of its fall.
"Was it him?!"
"The Saiyan?!"
"What is he doing? Did the Evil Dimension attack Earth?"
"But there's no sign of Earth being invaded. Why would the Saiyan target the Evil Dimension?"
As Robert stood amidst the ruins, countless divine senses exchanged questions, their owners struggling to piece together the events.
The Evil Dimension's attempt to unite others against Robert was naive. Even if Robert's growing power made him a thorn in their side, few dimensions were willing to act. His ability to move freely across dimensions and his overwhelming strength discouraged direct confrontation.
Robert had long been a problem for other dimensions, ever since he emerged as Earth's strongest defender. Though he had been less powerful then, his unpredictability and destructive potential had made him a feared adversary.
If any of them could have stopped him, they would have tried long ago. Now, with his strength at its peak, the idea of challenging him seemed even more ludicrous.
"Predictable." Robert smirked, sensing the multitude of divine gazes that had turned toward him. None dared act.
"The Evil Dimension's fight confirmed a few things," he mused. "In my first form, I can destroy weaker dimensions. In my second form, I can handle mid-tier dimensions like the Evil Dimension. For the strongest dimensions, like Hell, I'll need to use Super Saiyan God."
Robert's thoughts turned to Hell. "Its sheer number of top-tier entities will make it a challenge. Even if I can fight their champions, taking down the entire dimension won't be easy."
Hell's unique nature intrigued him. While the universe had only produced five Creator-level beings, Hell boasted a substantial number of entities at a comparable level. Their exact origins remained a mystery, but their presence made Hell a dominant force among dimensions.
"Now, it's time to capture two dimensional lords and see what Hell's limits truly are," Robert decided, vanishing from the site.
As he disappeared, a ripple of tension spread across the dimensions. Divine senses retreated, their owners relieved to find Robert hadn't targeted them.
"Saiyan! What are you doing?!"
The cry of alarm came from within another dimension. The voice carried beyond its borders, reaching other dimensional entities.
Unlike the silence before, the targeted dimension now sought help.
"Don't panic," Robert's voice replied from within. "I've just destroyed one dimension. I'm not here to destroy another."
Robert continued, his tone casual. "I'm here because of Hell. A certain Hell Lord requires dimensional lords, so I've been forced to hunt them down."
"Unfortunately, the Evil Dimension reabsorbed its lords before I could capture them. I had no choice but to pressure it into creating more. Yet even in its final moments, it refused, forcing me to destroy it."
The revelation sent ripples through the dimensions.
"Hell? This involves them?"
While some doubted Robert's claim, many acknowledged that Hell's reputation aligned with such behavior. Hell was notorious for exploiting weaker dimensions and absorbing their essence, amassing strength over millennia.
This new context cast the destruction of the Evil Dimension in a different light. Many began to see its demise as part of Hell's ongoing schemes, mourning its loss as a casualty of interdimensional politics.
In the current dimension, Robert's words gave its rulers pause. Their attacks ceased as they reevaluated the situation.
Finally, the dimension's strongest lord confronted him. "Saiyan, is what you say true?"
"Try and find out," Robert replied with a smirk.
"If I hand over my subordinates, it will create division and weaken my rule. How do I know this isn't your trick?" the lord questioned, his tone skeptical.
"Suit yourself," Robert said indifferently. "I can kill most of your people and take one, or I can accidentally destroy your dimension like the last one."
Hum!
Before the lord could respond, the dimension's consciousness acted. A powerful entity within the dimension suddenly ascended to the rank of a dimensional lord.
However, before the newly ascended lord could celebrate, their body was abruptly teleported to Robert.
