Once they learned Goku's true identity, Miya and the others were struck speechless—then their shock bloomed into joy and pride. Who could have imagined that their Ashikabi was a true god, a lord who ruled an entire world?
In the silent heart of the black void, Goku stood holding aloft a luminous orb that shone with starlight—immortal radiance, still and eternal.
The light, however, was already dimming.
"So the Dimensional power's nearly spent… Hundreds of millions of clones training at once burns through fuel fast. Still, the efficiency is excellent."
He smiled faintly. "Seems it's time to pay this world's Sovereign a visit."
---
The black hollow was deathly quiet, like a bottomless demon abyss that swallowed sound itself. A suffocating pressure gnawed at the women's already frayed nerves.
They pressed closer to Goku. Suspended in this endless void, their hearts simply wouldn't settle.
"Goku… can you take us out of here? This place feels… wrong," Kazehana whispered, her mature body clinging to his.
The others nodded in quick agreement. Not one of them wanted to remain a second longer.
"Heh. Of course."
Goku's smile was easy. With a thought, an invisible ripple of space spread from him like a tide. The scalp-tingling abyss around them knit together at astonishing speed; in moments, it was whole again.
Only the site of Izumo Inn remained—nothing but ruins.
Miya stared at the empty ground, lost for a heartbeat. Izumo Inn had been her last anchor to Asama Takehito; now even that had returned to dust.
"As long as you keep me in your heart, that's enough," Goku said, voice gentle but utterly uncompromising.
Miya sighed inwardly. He was too domineering—so absolute that even the faintest trace of her past, he would sweep away without mercy.
"…Perhaps that's for the best. What's past is past."
Her smile returned. "But with Izumo Inn gone, we're homeless, you know."
"What?"
Tsukiumi and the others looked to Goku in alarm.
"Don't worry—finding a place to live is the easiest thing in the world. Before that, I have an errand to run. So, you'll head back to my world for now. I'll also introduce a few sisters to you."
"Sisters? You mean you have other wives? You didn't mention that before!"
The vinegar jar that was Tsukiumi flushed scarlet.
"You'll see when we get there."
Goku's smile deepened; light flickered—and all of them vanished.
"Smells wonderful!"
"This place… it's beautiful!"
They reappeared in a courtyard carpeted with blossoms. Ancient trees and flowers of every color surrounded them; rich fragrance filled the air. Divine mist drifted, spiritual energy rolled like a shining sea—brilliant, invigorating, washing away every speck of fatigue.
Here, the aura was so dense it was almost liquid, glowing and steaming, auspicious clouds pooling under the eaves. Even the grasses and shrubs were rare treasures beyond price; the depth of foundation made them catch their breath.
Several women as ethereal as fallen fairies were carefully trimming the branches of sacred trees. Every gesture was grace.
At the sight of Goku, they brightened, gliding over on light steps to bow. "Lord Goku."
They were of Cai Lin's serpentfolk. When he had rescued the last hundred or so of their clan, he had brought them into his world as attendants. After living here, their strength had soared—and their tails had evolved into flawless human legs.
Serpent women were famed for beauty and allure; now each of them was breathtaking, rippling with irresistible charm.
"You Lan, you've gotten even fairer in just a few days," Goku chuckled.
"L-Lord Goku…" You Lan's cheeks flushed; the hazy sweetness in her eyes was enough to set hearts wobbling.
"Wh-Who… who are they?"
Tsukiumi, champion of jealous love, stammered. Their faces might match hers, but the airy, otherworldly allure they carried left her feeling an unfamiliar pinch of crisis.
"These should be our future mistresses, yes?" You Lan and the others bowed politely to Miya's group. "We're attendants here. If you need anything, please command us."
"So they're attendants…"
Tsukiumi's heart lifted—just a bit smug.
"Big brother Goku!"
A bright, bell-like voice rang out as a girl like a flower sprite dove into his arms.
"Yo, Yue'er—prettier every time I see you."
He stroked her softly scented hair with affection.
"N-No I'm not…" Yue'er flushed, eyes dancing.
"Hehe. They'll be our sisters from now on, won't they? Please, come in."
From the main hall came a stream of beauties—each one a peerless face. Compared to the attendants, these were even more dazzling. Miya and the rest stared, breath caught. In any normal world, a single such woman could topple a kingdom; here, they arrived by the dozen.
At their head walked a woman so radiant they almost forgot to breathe. In her presence, even Miya and Tsukiumi felt a rare twinge of inferiority.
The Goddess's presence truly had no equal.
These women had lived long in this aura-rich world—and, with Goku's tireless "training," their skin and bearing had reached a realm beyond words. In time, Miya and the others would blossom just as stunningly.
"I'll leave them in your care," Goku told the Ling Yue and the others. "I have a matter to handle outside."
"The Sovereign of this realm?" the Ling Yue asked softly. "I understand. Be careful."
"Relax. A Sovereign at this level is a trivial errand."
He waved it off. Sliding an arm around Shao Siming's slender waist, he kissed her lips with his. "I'm heading out. No farewell kiss?"
"…Be careful," she murmured, composure intact—save for the faint blush that tinted her cheeks. Her voice was a mountain spring: clear and cool.
Through Goku's patient care, the reserved Shao Siming had finally opened her heart; she spoke little, but she spoke.
Satisfied, Goku planted a few playful kisses on Yue'er's cheek. With farewells all around, he lifted a hand in parting and vanished.

Endless void. Eternal stillness.
Goku slipped through space in a flash, took measure of his surroundings, and raised an eyebrow.
"So this space is your will? Come out. No need to hide."
His voice rolled like thunder through the void; the world itself shivered.
The dead air awoke. A vast will descended, sovereign over all, permeating every inch of space.
A blade of light gathered before him; wind roared as it coalesced into a strikingly handsome man.
"You are not of my realm," the man said coldly. "Outsider, why disturb my slumber? Give me a reason, or I will cast you from this world."
His tone dripped with arrogance and command. Here, in his own domain, he had always stood above all—my world, my rules—and felt fear of nothing.
"Heh. Why are Sovereign always so ignorant and proud…"
Goku shook his head. "Nothing complicated. I simply intend to borrow your divine seat."
"Oh? You mean to take my throne?"
A thin smile. "Another ignorant challenger. Very well—fall into samsara."
His words boomed; he struck with one palm, and the void buckled.
"Mm? This Sovereign is… decent."
Goku's eyes lit with mild surprise. He curled his hand into a fist and punched forward.
KRA-KOOOM—
Brutal and domineering. The void convulsed; layers of space shattered, the palm wind collapsing in an instant—momentum unbroken…
