A flicker.
Everything went black.
For a single instant, the universe itself seemed to cease.
Then—
Another flicker.
The world returned, but now—
Dragon skulls.
Dozens. Hundreds.
Surrounding Beerus from every direction.
Their hollow eyes burned, their jaws open wide, each one aimed at the God of Destruction.
Then—they struck.
The battle began.
Beerus Fights Back
With a single motion, Beerus blurred into action, his body weaving between the barrage of attacks with ease.
The dragon skulls lunged, their jaws snapping shut, but Beerus dodged effortlessly, twisting, spinning, slipping through the onslaught like water.
It was easy.
He wasn't even trying.
Then—
He stopped.
His body locked midair.
His eyes widened.
A blue aura suddenly surrounded him—
And then—
CRASH.
An invisible forceslammed him down, sending him hurtling into the ground.
Dust and debris exploded outward.
Before he could react—
A flicker.
Then—
Raziel.
He was there—right in front of him.
Beerus' instincts kicked in, his body reacting before his mind could process.
He twisted to the side just in time—
SHINK!
A slash.
The red glowing knifesliced clean through the air, narrowly missing Beerus' throat.
The ground beneath him was not so lucky.
The entire battlefield trembled, cracking apart from the force of the missed attack.
Then—Beerus' pupils shrank.
Another flicker.
And suddenly—
Raziel was behind him.
An arm wrapped around Beerus' torso.
A hand pressed against his neck.
A sharp, burning edge against his throat.
Raziel's Whisper
Raziel:"Don't move~."
Then—they vanished.
A Barrage of Death
From the outside—
All that was visible was a circle of flashing red lines.
They spiraled and shifted at insane speed, each one growing faster, more erratic, more violent.
Then—
Beerus was kicked skyward.
His body flung into the sky, his movements disoriented, unstable.
Before he could regain balance—
SLASH.
SLASH. SLASH. SLASH.
Hundreds—no, thousands—
Of red energy lines appeared in every direction.
Each one pierced through him.
His body twisted from the sheer force, his nerves screaming.
Then—
A dragon skull lunged forward.
It bit down.
Its massive jaws closed around Beerus' entire body, dragging him away.
Then—
A crunch.
The teeth snapped.
Beerus broke free.
He blurred away, dodging a beam attack fired from another dragon skull.
But—
Once again—
That blue aura.
It grabbed him.
And forced him down.
The Turning Point
This time—Beerus landed on his feet.
He exhaled slowly.
Then—
A flicker.
Raziel.
Right in front of him.
Too close.
Too fast.
And then—
The knife swung.
A storm of slashes, each one too fast to track.
Beerus' body twisted, dodging as many as he could—
But there were too many.
Each strike connected.
Each cut deep.
Beerus' body was torn apart by the sheer speed.
Then—he vanished.
Reappearing far away, staggering.
His breath ragged.
His entire body covered in wounds.
Blood dripped from deep, slashed gashes.
Some were minor.
Some were severe.
And some—cut to the bone.
For the first time in millennia—
Beerus was wounded.
Badly.
Then—he gritted his teeth.
His aura exploded outward.
A roar of golden ki erupted, shaking the entire planet.
Every fighter watching tensed.
Even Goku's expression changed.
Vegeta's hands clenched.
But Raziel?
Raziel remained still.
Then—
Beerus raised both hands.
Energy gathered instantly.
A Hakai sphere.
Massive.
More powerful than ever before.
He had no choice.
He had to end this now.
Then—he fired.
Game Over.
Raziel did not move.
Instead—
He slowly raised his knife.
With a flick of his wrist—
A crimson flame ignited around the blade.
Then—
He whispered.
Raziel:"Game over~."
Then—
He swung.
A black slash tore through the air.
Its trail distorted, filled with red-glowing '9' symbols, flickering like a corrupted screen.
Then—
It cut straight through Beerus' attack.
The Hakai sphere split apart.
Then—
It exploded.
Everything vanished.
The planet. The battlefield. The sky.
Nothing remained.
For one brief instant—
The entire universe glitched.
Then—
Everything reset.
As if nothing had happened.
And yet—
Raziel's attack kept going.
Beerus' pupils shrank.
Then—
SLASH.
The black-and-red slash hit.
And—
Beerus was cut in half.
His torso separated from his legs.
His body hovered for a brief moment—
Then collapsed.
The God of Destruction fell.
Silence.
Only one voice remained.
A laugh.
A deep, corrupted, demonic laugh.
Raziel stood.
Unmoving. Unbroken. Unchallenged.
Then—
His red-lined eyes flickered.
And he smiled.
Narrator End: The God of Destruction has fallen.
Raziel's smile lingered, his red-lined eyes unblinking as he stared down at the lifeless halves of Beerus.
The air was dead silent.
Then—
A black panel materialized in front of him.
It was large in width but short in height, outlined with a thin, glowing white border.
Only Raziel could see it.
And what he saw—
Made him grin.
Numbers glitched and rearranged, flickering chaotically before finally settling.
[LEVEL UP]
+963,845,144,758 Exp
Lv 359,189 → Lv 359,207
The moment he finished reading, the panel faded away, dissolving into nothingness.
Then—
Everything flickered black.
A brief void.
And then—
Raziel appeared—standing beside Frieza.
The Reactions
A moment of absolute silence.
Then—
A slow, deliberate chuckle.
"Ho ho ho ho~…"
Frieza's voice broke the quiet.
His expression was unreadable, but his golden-red eyes gleamed with pure satisfaction.
He had just witnessed the impossible.
The fireworks. The chaos. The spectacle.
And now—Beerus, the God of Destruction, was dead.
By Raziel's hand.
Frieza's smirk widened.
"Oh, Raziel… that was quite the performance."
He tilted his head slightly, observing the battlefield with amusement.
"You continue to exceed my expectations… and I do love being pleasantly surprised."
But—
Not everyone shared his sentiment.
The Universe Watches in Horror
Every Frieza Force soldier—the entire army—stood paralyzed in place.
They had witnessed gods fall before.
They had seen planets obliterated, civilizations crushed.
But this?
This was different.
Beerus was not just a god.
He was a force of nature.
And yet—
He was killed.
By something that had no ki.
By something that shouldn't exist.
By something that fought outside the laws of reality.
Goku & Vegeta's Reactions
Goku's fists clenched.
His face was pale, his expression unreadable.
His eyes darted toward Whis, then back to Beerus' body.
"H-He's really…?"
His voice was barely above a whisper.
Vegeta, however—
His arms remained crossed.
His brow furrowed deeply.
He wasn't shocked.
He wasn't angry.
But—
His entire body was tense.
A man who never allowed himself to show fear—
Was deeply unsettled.
Neither of them spoke.
Because what could they say?
The Kais' Horror
The Supreme Kai took a step back.
His breathing ragged.
His hands trembled.
This wasn't just a death.
This was a cosmic imbalance.
This was beyond disaster.
Kibito, standing beside him, could barely process what had happened.
They had witnessed destruction before.
But this?
This was not destruction.
This was erasure.
Whis' Reaction: Deep Concern
And then—Whis.
Unlike the others, he wasn't panicked.
But—
For the first time in his existence—
His expression was one of deep, genuine concern.
Not for Beerus.
Not for the balance of the universe.
But for Raziel himself.
And more importantly—
What Raziel was capable of.
Whis' mind raced.
No ki. No limits. No detectable energy signature.
A being who existed outside the fundamental mechanics of their reality.
And his power?
Undetectable.
Whis didn't know if Raziel had been holding back.
He didn't know if Raziel had shown his true strength.
Because only Raziel knew the answer.
And that deeply worried him.
Whis' gaze lingered on Raziel.
A creature that didn't belong.
A creature that could not be measured.
A creature that had just done the impossible.
And—
He had done it easily.
The Silence Breaks…
The battlefield remained frozen.
No one moved.
No one spoke.
Then—
Frieza took a step forward.
His voice was calm, entertained, almost casual.
"Well, Raziel…"
He turned his head slightly, golden eyes gleaming with twisted amusement.
"What now?"
