Thoughts
"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"An earthquake?" A beautiful, bombshell of a blue-haired woman muttered, glancing over as her usual lab was suddenly shaking. On the table, various pieces of equipment were being tossed and sliding around.
"Wait, no, there hasn't ever been an earthquake around this area! I bet those meatheads are fighting again!" Bulma hissed, stomping towards the door as she got ready to give a certain group of people a piece of her mind.
However, when she got outside, she wouldn't find anyone fighting. Instead, West City would be in an uproar, just as many other locations across Earth would be, as an earthquake shook the city. In a rare instance where the many clashing forces across Earth weren't responsible, the entire planet shook.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fuck! Fuck! Shit! Shit fuck! Fuck shit!"
"W-Watch your language, Shin! Even if this is a dire situation, you're still the Supreme Kai!" Kibito huffed as Shin paced back and forth, his brow creased as he was deep in thought.
"This isn't just dire, Kibito! It's even worse than before," Shin groaned, glancing over at the crystal ball as Gray and Boros' beams clashed within it. "I was betting on the Saiyan to win, and then we'd be able to monitor him afterward. We wouldn't have to get involved, but now… fuck! If we don't do something, there won't even be a universe to be erased!"
"A-Are you sure it's that powerful?" Kibito asked a bit doubtfully, "I understand that the power within those attacks is enough to destroy multiple planets, but affecting the stability of the universe just by clashing? That's absurd!"
"And yet it's happening right now!" Shin hissed, glaring over at Kibito for doubting him again, "If their attacks were only clashing for a few seconds, then it wouldn't be a huge deal. The aftershocks might cause some damage to any nearby planets, but it wouldn't be anything major. But, right now, they've been clashing for half a minute! I bet every planet in a 50 galaxy radius is feeling aftershocks!"
The image in Shin's crystal ball didn't shift, but he didn't need it to. Even without a direct image giving him verification, he knew that not only was the surface of Harro splitting into various crevices, but that planets all over the universe were being impacted. The air between Gray and Boros shook violently, and even from the far-view, Shin could see the power running wild between the clash.
"We have to intervene." Shin finally said, though his tone was low, and he didn't sound happy about it.
"Interfering in the business of mortals is not something a Kai should do," Kibito countered, but his face steeled as he nodded anyway, "But, in this instance, I agree. We must assist the Saiyan and take down the Divinity-wielding one. I will be on standby."
Both Kai's faces were set in stone, and the plan was set in motion. Kai's interacting with mortals wasn't rare, or even uncommon, but in this instance, it was unique. For the first time in a long time, Shin went to the world of mortals not to kill anyone who witnessed him, but instead to assist a Saiyan.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gray stared up blankly as the Supreme Kai appeared out of literally thin air, not sure what to make of the sight.
Why the fuck is he here?!
Gray would've asked, but he had a much more pressing matter at hand - literally, as the beam coming from his hand was being pressed down into him. He grit his teeth as Boros' attack continued to bear down on him, and his own beam pressed back, keeping Boros at bay, but the void-like man didn't let up at all.
How much fuckin' energy does this bastard have?! I've chugged about a dozen Senzu Beans at this point, and he's still going as strong as ever!
Luckily, a moment later, Boros' beam was cut off. Shin shot forward far above, his fist cocked back, and promptly slammed a punch into the side of Boros' face - which sent the alien rocketing sideways, his focus broken as his beam died away, and Gray's ultimately won the clash.
Don't know why he did that, but I won't complain!
In any other situation, Gray would've been much more careful here. He would've stayed back, eating another Senzu Bean to remain at full power, as he observed what the Supreme Kai was doing here. In any other situation, a hundred different thoughts would've been rolling through Gray's head as he considered what could've happened to cause such a powerful being to appear.
But, in this situation, Gray didn't care. His eyes were still alight with rage, his heart was beating rapidly, and the target of his rage had just been sucker punched. So, instead of taking the time to think about the situation and form a plan, he simply vanished.
"Fucker!" Then, he reappeared above Boros with Instant Transmission.
The alien's momentum was sending him sliding sideways through the air, but Gray switched the direction of that momentum as an attack-boosted and Ki-coated two-handed hammer slammed into Boros from above.
1,427,980,150 HP! (?/?)
Boros went soaring downward from the blow, but Gray didn't let up as he raised his arms, and a [Ki Barrage] formed around him. His arms swept downward, and the rain of projectiles hurtled down towards Boros' body as he slammed into the surface of Harro.
However, Boros wasn't just going to take the combo lying down, and he quickly shoved himself out of the crater his own body had formed. He pressed his hands into the surface under him, and the ground exploded outward a moment later as Boros shot upward. Gray's eyes widened as Boros practically teleported in front of him, moving so quickly that Gray could barely keep track of him, with his fist cocked back.
However, just as Gray thought he was about to be sent tumbling across all of Harro from a blow, Shin's fist appeared and slammed into Boros' side. The alien was sent stumbling to the side mid-air, his trajectory changed just enough that Gray was able to lean out of the way. Gray grinned as the blow missed him, and quickly followed up as Boros was off-balance.
1,580,950,050 HP! (?/?)
Gray's fist shot forward like a bullet, slamming into Boros' gut and causing him to hunch over slightly. Then, his body twisted, and a round-house kick came flying upward. His foot slammed into the side of Boros' face, and even the seemingly invincible alien couldn't help but be tossed backward from the blow.
1,710,000,000 HP! (?/?)
"You don't know who I am, but that doesn't matter right now," Shin spoke abruptly, not even glancing over at Gray as his eyes stayed locked onto Boros, "All you need to know is that this man must die. Work with me to kill him, and we can speak after."
Gray actually did know who Shin was, but he wasn't going to correct the Supreme Kai.
"Fine by me," Gray said simply, his lips twitching up into a grin.
As long as this fucker dies, I don't really give a damn about why he's here. Though the fact that Boros is barely moving from his punches…
Gray quickly deduced that one of two things was happening - either Boros was way stronger than he thought, and was a threat outside even the Supreme Kai's range, or Shin was even weaker than he had been in the original series.
If Boros really is just this tough, then honestly, I'm glad. That means I'm fuckin' tough.
Gray still didn't know just where he sat in the grand scheme of the universe, because he was comparing himself against beings who didn't belong in this world to begin with. He knew he was far stronger than King Vegeta, but that wasn't saying much, because King Vegeta was like an ant to even first-form Frieza. He didn't know how strong Frieza was in comparison to his current self, or how powerful someone like Cooler and King Cold were, but this at least gave him a marker.
He's a disappointment considering how strong you'd expect a Supreme Kai to be, but that doesn't mean he's weak. He's a Buu-saga character, even if all he did for most of it was be in awe of Goku.
At the very least, the fact that Shin wasn't kicking Boros' ass meant that the alien in his new form was pretty high-ranking within the universe, if not close to the top.
Makes me feel a lot better about not being able to handle him. He's someone I shouldn't have stood a chance against from the start, but my system is letting me keep up.
Judging from Gray's starting power level when he arrived on Harro for first time, and then comparing it to Boros' Meteoric Burst form, and then again to the massive power he had now, Gray knew that this was a mission destined to fail. He should've died at Boros' hands long ago, and his entire squad should've been wiped out. If Gray were just a normal Saiyan, he'd have no chance of defeating the alien in front of him.
But I'm not normal. Even if it likes to fuck me over sometimes, I still have this busted-ass system.
Gray had his system at his disposal, and that was his way to make this unbeatable mission possible. He had a near-unlimited supply of Senzu Beans, an array of skills, and now an absurd amount of LUK.
"Let's kill this bastard," Gray just smirked, and Shin nodded in response. A second later, Boros came launching upward - moving almost too quickly for Gray's eyes to track, and much too quickly for Shin to dodge as he received a fist to the face. The Supreme Kai was sent rocketing back through the air, but Boros wasn't able to follow up as a flurry of Ki blasts, courtesy of Gray, sped towards him.
Boros spun, raising his hand as a beam of pitch-black Ki shot outward, and then yanked his arm to the side - dragging the laser-like attack across the barrage of Ki blasts, and destroying them in a cloud of smoke. He then shot forward, bursting through the smoke, and met Gray in the middle as the Saiyan had the same idea. Their fists shot forward, meeting in the middle, and a shockwave of power shot outward as their knuckles pressed together.
The shockwave cracked the air like thunder, splitting the sky as Gray's face twisted with focus at the clash. The pressure of their fists colliding sent ripples through Harro's already-battered surface below, tearing open another dozen craters far beneath them. Boros' fist started to press forward, his strength overpowering Gray's in the split-second fist clash, but Gray had enough time not to completely lose the exchange, as [Seal of Weakening] activated and Boros took a stat decrease overall.
Gray's teeth gritted together, but even with [Attack Boost] and Ki coating his fist, and [Seal of Weakening] knocking the alien down a peg, Boros was muscling through him with pure power. Gray's other arm snapped forward, aiming to break the clash as he slammed a fist into Boros' face, but was interrupted by a shout.
"Move!" Shin's voice cut through the air behind him, and suddenly a blinding burst of Ki came streaming behind him. Gray took his words seriously as he grunted, spinning to the side as the beam crashed through where he had been standing and smashed straight into Boros' front. The alien staggered, forced off balance for just a heartbeat, and Gray took the opening.
1,425,120,220 HP! (?/?)
1,509,999,150 HP! (?/?)
Gray shot forward, his knee shooting up and slamming into Boros' jaw, followed up by a spinning round-house kick smashing straight into his side. The alien's body was forced to skid through the air, moving several feet to the side before he controlled his momentum with a surge of Ki. Boros' void-esque muscles bulged as his body tensed, and energy crackled around him as a pure-black aura flared up violently.
Gray's instincts screamed at him to back off, and he hastily vanished - reappearing next to Shin with Instant Transmission - and his instincts were proven right. Boros burst forward where he had been standing, his fist hitting only air, but Gray grunted as the air around him seemed to shake from the force of the missed blow.
What the fuck?! I got way stronger from all the Zenkai Boosts, but it's like he's getting stronger too!
Luckily, Shin vanished from his side a second later and appeared directly behind Boros with his Kai-Kai, and the Supreme Kai didn't hesitate. The Kai raised both hands, slamming his palms onto Boros' back, and the alien hissed in pain. Shin's hands glowed, and then that glow spread all around Boros' body. Suddenly, the alien looked as if he was being held in place - his body jerked side to side, but it was as if an invisible hand was ensuring he couldn't move.
I don't know what the fuck that is, but I need to learn it.
"Now!" Shin shouted towards him, and Gray didn't need any more instruction.
I'll feel bad if this gets both of them, but fuck it!
Gray didn't waste the chance, and his hand shot upward and flicked into the shape of a gun. His hand flicked again, and a flurry of Ki-bullets sped through the air and made contact with their target.
1,925,200,090 HP! (?/?)
2,101,259,880 HP! (?/?)
2,590,550,000 HP! (?/?)
1,889,999,250 HP! (?/?)
2,125,222,020 HP! (?/?)
1,890,009,350 HP! (?/?)
1,768,990,870 HP! (?/?)
However, even as the bullets pierced through Boros' body, there didn't seem to be any blood or even wounds at all. The space-like form of his body sloshed forward, covering his wounds in an instant, and Boros' muscles bulged as his body spazzed in the air, trying desperately to break through the Shin's technique.
The technique snapped a moment later as Boros unleashed a shockwave of raw power, blasting outward a wave of Ki and shaking the air as he tore apart Shin's invisible restraint. He spun around, his fist bursting through the air and smacking into Shin's unprepared stomach - sending the Supreme Kai rolling through the air with a yell of pain. But, as he did, Gray's eyes widened slightly.
He's… slowing down? What the fuck is with this bastard?
The alien hunched over after the attack, his shoulders slumped, and if he had a visible mouth, Gray was sure he would be panting. Gray didn't think the bullets had actually injured him, but instead, it looked like-
His Meteoric Form. It was killing him from the inside, because his body couldn't handle it. The same thing is happening right here.
Gray's lips curved into a smirk, and as Shin Kai-Kai'd back to his side, the Supreme Kai had the same idea, "His body won't last much longer! Whoever's sponsoring him is growing desperate, and they're pushing too much divinity into him. We have him on the ropes!"
I don't know what the fuck that meant, but as long as this fucker dies, I don't really care either!
However, Boros seemed to have realized the same thing. Or, more specifically, the man giving Boros his power-
You are… not… allowed… to win- stop going in my head, fucker!
The last part was Gray, as he shook his head, and the gravely voice that he had heard too many times for his liking became quiet for a moment.
I already knew this fucker had something to do with it, but it still pisses me off!
Gray had hoped that his beef with 'god' would silently fade away with Monas' destruction, but that was clearly not happening.
And, the 'god' in question wasn't just sitting idly by. Boros' body twitched in the air in front of Gray and Shin, then started to expand abruptly. His muscles bulged outward unnaturally, his torso ballooned into a ball-like shape, and his legs started to become thicker.
You will… all… die…
Gray's eyes went wide as Boros' body continued to expand, and started to look similar to a certain insect-like man.
Oh, you fucker. He's about to Cell us!
"He's about to fuckin' blow up," Gray said bluntly, to which Shin didn't respond, as the Supreme Kai was staring at Boros with wide, horrified eyes.
"T-This much power…" He muttered, and as if Boros could hear his words, a column of pitch-black energy erupted skyward, creating a pillar of black power that tried to pierce the heavens, "T-That's way too much divine power! He's trying to destroy the whole galaxy! W-Wait, no, with this much… t-the universe itself will be in danger!"
Gray's eyes widened at Shin's words.
The whole universe?! This bastard is that strong?! If the whole universe is destroyed, then I'll be fucked, and my entire squad will be fucked, and- wait-
But, instead of panicking, Gray just glanced over at Shin with narrowed eyes, "Then fuckin' stop him! You're the Supreme Kai, right?"
This bastard rules the whole universe! It's not like Golden Frieza is in front of us right now - it's just this random alien fucker! He should be able to handle this!
"I-I can't stop him, you dumb Saiyan! T-That much power…" Shin stuttered, staring as Boros' power continued to climb, and the massive pillar of power started to expand around him. The pillar continued to grow bigger by the second and was ripping Harro apart in the process.
The ground far beneath Boros was turned into ash instantly, as stone, soil, and metal were vaporized, leaving behind just a constantly widening crater. Any remaining buildings all over the planet shook and started to crumble under the weight of the power, roads split open in jagged cracks, while mountains fractured and peeled away, sending rockslides crashing down their sides. Even the air shimmered with heat, and a suffocating wave washed over Gray and Shin. The large oceans that had once housed the Deep Sea King boiled, spitting clouds of steam skyward as any fish-men left remaining surely died, while the sea was flung in every direction wildly. Lightning flashed through the air, lighting up the destruction that was wrecking the planet.
Fuck, where did Saitama and Blast go? I know I told them I would handle this, but this would be a real nice time for them to show up!
But, even as Gray jerked his head around, he couldn't sense the energy signature of Blast or Saitama. It was as if they had completely vanished from the planet.
"Kibito! We must enact plan C! No, not plan B, it's too powerful for that! The entire universe is about to be thrown into disarray, and we'll be lucky if any planets even remain! No, even the Frost Demons can't handle this much godly power!" Gray glanced strangely at Shin as he started to shout into the air, seemingly talking to no one, but judging by how he said 'Kibito,' he assumed he was talking to his attendant telepathically, "The god from another universe is responsible, so plan B won't work! We'll be found too quickly!"
"Hey, sorry to interrupt the phone call, but if we don't do something, we're about to FUCKIN' DIE!" Gray shouted abruptly into Shin's ear, causing the man to jerk his attention back to him, "Destroying the universe is a no-go, because I'm in this universe, bastard! Just go teleport him to somewhere far away!"
He can do what Goku did with Cell - teleport him away with his Kai-Kai to somewhere far away from here!
"T-The only place that would protect the universe would be Otherworld, but if Otherworld gets destroyed, then there will be even more trouble!" Shin countered, glancing over to the expanding Boros nervously, "J-Just, fuck! I have a plan for this, but you need to slow him down! Fight against his Ki!"
Gray stared at Shin blankly, then slowly, robotically, looked over at the expanding pillar of death, and then back to Shin.
Glad to see he's just as stupid as I expected.
"Unless you've got some bullshit to make me a thousand times stronger, I'm not stopping that shit," Gray deadpanned, as the pillar slowly spreading across Harro looked similar to the one he had seen Yamoshi use when he became a Super Saiyan, but on steroids.
"You don't have to stop it! Just… throw all your energy at it, and stall it out! I'll do the rest! That alien is very talented, and he's giving us some time!" Shin spat out, narrowing his eyes at Boros, "The god is trying to explode him with divinity, but he's expelling all his power in an attempt to survive. If he's able to keep this up, then that ball of energy will continue to expand until either the god runs out of power or the entire universe is destroyed. If he falters, then he'll explode, and the entire universe will be affected!"
God this, god that, fuck this 'god' guy! I'm totally gonna kill this fucker someday!
Gray narrowed his eyes at Shin, and then glanced back to Boros, who was still bulging as he tried to handle the power being shoved into his body.
Fuck, this is fuckin' stupid, but it's not like there's anything else I can do. If he's really about to destroy the entire universe, then I can't stop him. I either have to trust this dumbass Supreme Kai, or…
Gray glanced to his side, looking at a small window that hadn't closed since his fight with Boros began. In his shop, a certain item stared back at him.
[Cerealian Dragon Ball] - 5,000,000
[Cerealian Dragon Ball Set] - 9,500,000
This was my last resort. They have fewer limitations than the Earth Dragon Balls, but I don't know if they can teleport me to a whole different universe.
On top of that, Gray would have to do the whole dragon-summoning process and hope that Boros' energy didn't destroy everything until he was able to make his wish.
Fuck it. It's still a last resort. If this Supreme Kai doesn't do shit, then I'll pull them out.
Gray tapped the [Cerealian Dragon Ball Set], catching the two balls as they appeared in the air in front of him, and then shoved them into the hem of his very destroyed pants. Then, he tensed his arms as Shin Kai-Kai'd away, and a small, pitch-black ball of Ki formed between his palms.
I'll put everything I have into this.
Gray's face twisted in focus as his body tensed, and he poured everything into the ball in his palms. The black ball started to grow between his hands, becoming larger and larger as Gray poured more and more Ki into it. The air around him started to spark, and the world shook even more violently as the combination of Boros' energy outburst and Gray's Kokuyo made the entire planet shake to its core. Then, Gray shoved his arms forward.
"[KOKUYO!]" Gray's voice roared outward, a genuine shout ripping from his throat as he poured everything he had into one singular beam.
I'm doing my part, so you better fuckin' do something, damn Supreme Kai!
The attack screamed when it left him, soundling like a firework streaking across the air as the massive beam of pure-black Ki met a pillar just as dark. A split second later, the two forces met, and the world around them trembled. The pillar shuddered, and Boros twitched inside the massive outstretched beam. For a single, impossible second, the column of death paused, its edges rippling as Gray's Kokouyo bit into it and refused to give. Harro itself groaned as the pressure stalled, and the planet far below started to burn away from the pressure.
As the two forces met, Gray gritted his teeth, simply pushing forward as he refused to give in. His arms shook, his head ached, and his body protested as his power streamed forward, but he didn't back down. His attack stalled out with the pillar, and then, a large, near-blinding light, formed between them.
The two outbursts of Ki spread outward, filling the air as lightning cracked around them. The air trembled violently, and Shin's plan to stall out the pillar failed in an instant - not because Gray wasn't strong enough to stall out the attack, but because of the opposite. Because, as Gray's Ki met Boros', the collusion of powers was too much for any planet to handle. Harro burst downward, the ground crumbling not just into a crater, but into an entire explosion.
Its core fractured from the aftershocks of the two attacks, and then cracked entirely. Lava tried to spew upward, but the shockwave of the blows simply slammed it downward. Just one second after Gray's Kokuyo met the pillar, the entire planet was turned into nothing but dust.
But that was just the start of it. The outburst spread further, the air shaking as the remains of even Monas, and every planet between it and Harro, were blasted away by the force. Far beyond Monas, an uninhabited planet felt the force slam into it, and it disintegrated into nothingness in a split second.
The shockwave spread further and further, reaching planet after planet, until, finally, there was nothing else to reach. Just ten seconds after the first collision, the entire galaxy was turned to dust.
For a moment, in the vast expanse of space, there was nothing. Silence reigned supreme as chunks of rocks were flung in every direction, slowly becoming meteors that would rain down on other celestial bodies. Then, a larger, pure-black beam shot outward.
It slammed past the edges of where the galaxy had been and continued forward. Fifteen seconds after the collision of beams, Boros' body gave out, and an explosion of divinity reached far beyond the edges of one galaxy.
Sixteen seconds after the collision of beams, a nearby galaxy turned to dust. Seventeen seconds after the collision of beams, two galaxies turned to dust. The explosion continued outward, and after twenty seconds, Planet Vegeta was turned to dust. After thirty seconds, Beerus would be awakened by the disturbance, but it was too late.
The explosion continued, eating planet after planet, galaxy after galaxy, and when the God of Destruction finally stopped it, Universe 7 was a shell of its former self. Galaxies were turned to dust, intelligent life was turned into nothingness, and in Zeno's Mortal Level ranking, Universe 7 dropped to the bottom in only a few minutes.
For Universe 7, this could be considered nothing but a doomed timeline.
Luckily for Gray, as he was surrounded by a burst of blinding light, he wouldn't meet death. Instead, when he opened his eyes next, he would no longer be standing in the remnants of Harro - but in a different timeline entirely.
