When they arrived back at the Watchtower Flash wanted to put his arm around Gohan but stopped, he didn’t know what he was allowed to do and what not but Gohan noticed this and spoke. “Okay let’s get this straight, I will give you all a special pardon so please treat me as you did before.” He smiled.

Flash nodded and grinned as he put his arm around Gohan’s shoulder and grinned. “So? You were explaining? How did you become this?” He asked as they made their way to the cafeteria to eat.

“Well, after I left with Vermont he took me to the destroyers world of universe 21, which is this one by the way.” He revealed as Flashes jaw dropped.

“We are in universe 21?” He asked as Gohan nodded and the others looked at each other not sure on how to take that piece of information.

“So I was right!” Zatanna said as she summoned an ancient script that glowed white and showed it to Gohan who looked surprise at the script.

“This is a copy from the book of creation…” He said surprised as he looked at her until she realized that she probably shouldn’t have done that until he chuckled.

“It’s fine, no mortal can decipher it so it doesn’t matter if you have a copy and it carries no actual power either.” Gohan said as she sighed internally.

“Well, it’s just that you’re right I couldn’t figure out how to read this but over time Dr. Fate showed me this because he had no use for it, once he figured out how to read it he passed it to me as a test.” She said.

“But so far I was only able to figure out the first paragraph, but now that you’re here…” She started making Gohan laugh.

“So you want me to read this for you?” He asked as she nodded eagerly as he closed it and handed it back to her, she looked disappointed but just nodded.

“I’ll just tell you.” Gohan said surprising her and everyone else.

“Wait isn’t this highly confidential?” Superman asked as he sat down also interested in this now, in fact everyone was.

Gohan nodded. “Yes, it is but I can do as I please, I am the highest authority in the universe and it’s not like I am telling the whole earth, but it goes without saying do not just tell anyone.” He said as they nodded and Flash sat down as well.

“Sweet story time.” He joked as Gohan motioned to Vermont to come closer.

“Please add a visual representation as I talk.” He said as Vermont nodded.

“It will be my pleasure Lord Gohan.” He said as a projection of the events began however the gods were presented as silhouettes.

“So after I left with Vermont we went to the Destroyers world and from there we went to the Palace of the Omni-King or the Ruler of all of creation, now I haven’t met him but I did meet the Grand Priest, or well the Grand Minister of the Omniverse, he is Vermont’s father, I was evaluated by the 17 current Destroyer Gods and Angels of this Multiverse.” Gohan explained.

“Every single one of them was and still is far more powerful than I am.” Gohan explained.

“But you’re like really freaking strong.” Superman nodded at Flash’s take, even Karen had to admit that right now even if the entire league had to try and fight Gohan they would lose.

“I was at first somewhat mocked for my strength and how weak I was, but when I showed them my full strength they accepted my candidacy as God of Destruction but just barely.” Gohan explained.

“During the coronation I was bestowed the power of destruction, it didn’t make me stronger but it can only be given by the ruling gods of the multiverse.”

“With that my originally mortal body was permanently exalted to that of a gods, after that I returned to what is now my world and began my training with Vermont.” Gohan explained as they stopped looking at the projection of the event and stared at Vermont until they remembered how strong he was.

As if Gohan could tell he nodded. “Yep, he is my martial arts master currently and the strongest person I have ever fought.” As Vermont pretended to blush.

“You flatter me my lord.” He said as Gohan rolled his eyes.

“He is coy but even among the Angels he is very strong.” Gohan explained. “Even the clothes I’m wearing, this is formal God of Destruction attire.”

“It actually looks pretty badass.” Zatanna quipped as Flash nodded. “You look like your body was sculpted out of marble with a nano-machine printer.” He observed as Gohan just laughed.

“Believe it or not I am actually skinnier than before.” He said as Superman nodded.

“Now that you mention it.” He agreed.

“But my end goal is to return to the sister multiverse, my home and find Beerus and beat him until he is on his knees and begs for forgiveness.” Gohan stated coldly. “But I am still too weak, he would crush me in an instant.” Gohan sighed as he clenched his fist. “We would have to fight in the world of void otherwise we would destroy creation if we fought at full power.”

“Once I master Autonomous Ultra Instinct I should be able to contend…but as far as I know Beerus has some form of the technique which is why he is one of the greatest destroyer gods alive.” As Vermont nodded.

“Indeed my lord has a long path ahead, my estimated time frame is perhaps hundred thousand years before he will start showing signs of the godly technique after all he is a prodigy never before seen.” Vermont low-key bragged.

“100,000 years?” Flash asked as his jaw dropped somewhat and Gohan just smiled sadly.

“A long time I know but this grudge will be payed for no matter how many years it takes, Beerus is unfit to be a destroyer, earth by all means should never have been destroyed.” Gohan promised, they could see the hate he had in his eyes and they knew it wasn’t healthy for him but what could they say? His home was destroyed by another who knew that he shouldn’t have destroyed the world.

Vermont nodded. “It is quite strange that Lord Beerus would go out of his way to annihilate a world not ready for destruction perhaps he did feel threatened by your father and your family.” Vermont added. “Although if that was the case it is not as if your world was causing havoc in the cosmos, from my understanding you all were a very peaceful civilization and no where near the strength required to overthrow a destroyer.”

Gohan shook his head. “Enough, I don’t want to talk about it anymore Beerus will get what’s coming to him eventually.” As Vermont nodded.

“By the way what’s the ultra instinct?” Flash asked as Gohan looked to him.

“Well it’s a technique used by Angels, self movement with no thought once mastered you become untouchable in battle and your strength soars to heights never seen before.” He explained.

“That sounds pretty cool.”

“It is, but very hard to learn.” Gohan explained as Vermont’s staff glowed faintly.

“Oh? It seems we have another problem my lord.” Vermont spoke as Gohan looked at him.

“Yeah?” He stood up as the food arrived.

“The capital world of the Lou Empire is being destroyed.” He explained as Gohan facepalmed.

“I told the Emperor to not do anything stupid…well it’s not like I can always step in between feuds, I assume it’s because Darkseid was defeated so their alliance fell through instantly.” Gohan surmised as Batman nodded.

“What will you do?” He asked as Gohan thought.

“The thing is that planet is far past it’s expiry date so it is supposed to be destroyed, so intervening is not necessary on my end, in a way the Eve Empire is doing my job for me.” Gohan explained as the league looked at him surprised that he would say that but Gohan raised his arms as he chuckled.

“Calm down I’m not done, that is solely just my take as the God of Destruction we are meant to be neutral beings unless someone directly disobeys us which is exactly what the emperor is doing right now and besides I plan on being more hands on.” Gohan explained as he placed his hand on Vermont's back.

“I will return shortly.” He explained as a flash of white light blinded everyone before they disappeared as Zatanna looked at everyone.

“Well, at least he isn’t heartless.” She said as Diana shook her head.

“I believe that he has laws to abide by but due to the actions of an irresponsible deity he chooses to be different.” She thought out loud as Flash nodded accepting the take.

“Still can we really trust someone like that?” Cyborg asked as Supergirl shrugged.

“We don’t have a choice, you saw what he did to Darkseid he could do that to us but based on his words he doesn’t sound like someone we can’t trust why would he lie when he could just kill us, he even spared Darkseid just because we asked him not to kill.” She said as they all nodded.

“Fair point.” Cyborg agreed.

Batman spoke next. “Talking about it won’t change anything, he wasn’t blood thirsty before and he isn’t blood thirsty now so until something happens which I am positive won’t, Darkseid was the strongest person to step foot on earth and has conquered hundreds of worlds and killed trillions of people and he was defeated fairly easily, not even the anti-life equation would work on Gohan and Vermont and even above them there is still this Grand Minister who governs them all, anyone abusing their power would not last long.” He said.

“But one thing is worrying me, Gohan’s home was destroyed by a Destroyer who according to Vermont shouldn’t have, so Destroyers are sort of the rulers of their universes and they won’t be questioned by the higher power unless there is gross misconduct but maybe we are missing something…” He questioned as they all looked at him surprised.

“What are the chances that his world is fine?” Karen suddenly asked as they all looked at her.

“I mean according to him his world shouldn’t be destroyed right? And that Angel guy just restored our moon with a wave of his staff so maybe it was reverted.” She said as silence fell over them.

“That’s a possibility but we don’t know that and his home is a sour topic, plus you wouldn’t want to give him false hope.” Zatanna said as everyone nodded. “I don’t think he would go on a killing spree but rather not, if they are still there then he will obviously found out by himself in due time.”

When Gohan arrived at the capital planet he saw thousands of warships stationed above the planet, lowering himself he made his way towards the emperor’s ki signature.

Upon entering the courtyard he walked towards the throne room, when he arrived he saw what looked to be the royal family of Lou on their knees and chained, they had a very similar appearance to that of the Angels with light blue skin however their hair was not white, instead they had either pink, green or purple hair.

Gohan stood in silence and watched the scene, commander Strix seemed to recognize him but he placed his finger on his lips and looked back at the scene, her expression was neutral but she just opted to nod and looked forward, Gohan noticed she was heavily injured and there was a man with a sword through his chest on the ground by her feet.

“You’re a fool Triton! You sent half your fleet to defend your eastern systems and left your capital wide open, your armor worlds didn’t put up much of a resistance!” He said as he walked up to the king of Lou.

“Now your mighty empire is done for.” He grinned.

“You betrayed us Velius! Darkseid sent soldiers to my people how could I not defend them!? What is a king who was no one to rule over?” He asked as Velius shrugged.

“So what? You can always conquer new worlds to absorb, your bleeding heart led you to your own downfall.” As Triton lowered his head because Velius was speaking the truth and he had no rebuttal.

“At least we aren’t heartless bastards!” The queen spat on his face as Velius smirked and took out a handkerchief and wiped it off.

“Some spit on my face in exchange for your resources is a deal I will always take besides I wouldn’t be so fierce Arlen, once I have my fun with you and your daughter you will be going straight to the red planet to live the rest of your lives as the whores you are.” Velius shrugged. “You will be begging to stay in my chambers.”

Her jaw clenched at that as Triton tried to stand up but was shocked by the guards. “Careful now Triton don’t get any funny ideas, you know how much I hate you and your people always opposing the great Eve Empire at every corner.” He stated.

“You think this is over Velius?” A younger woman spoke, the princess? Gohan wondered as she was next to the older woman. “Father told us of that deity that put you in your place.” She said, she was clearly afraid but saying nothing at all would go against her royal blood.

The king seemed to remember the scene. “Yes! He will-” But was cut off.

“He will what?” Velius asked Strix was about to open her mouth but she suddenly felt and overwhelming amount of killing intent hit her stunning her as she glanced at Gohan who glanced at her before he continued watching, her reaction was odd, something about her seemed different.

“You think he will find out? And so what? It’s not like I am going to destroy this planet I am just ridding it of the parasites that live on it, besides he is too busy putting Darkseid in shackles, you think I would dumb enough to act against a being that can flick Darkseid through a moon?” He asked.

“Like Darkseid there are workarounds, no matter how strong he is he can’t be everywhere and know what’s going on.” As Triton calmed down at that. “Seems you understand.”

“Now, prepare the conquest and remove Arlen and Oasa, take them to my warship and finish this as fast as possible and direct a meteor towards this planet if push comes to shove we fawn ignorance.” He said as he turned to walk away but froze at the sight of Gohan staring at him with an expressionless face.

“M-my lord…what a surprise…” He started as Triton looked up in surprise as he looked to the back of the throne room and felt a grin spread on his face before wiping it off and nudged Arlen who also took note of the Destroyer standing in the back, hope returned to her eyes.

“So this is the type of ruler you are?” Gohan asked as he walked forward, it was so quiet that his footsteps echoed throughout the large throne room.

“Halt!” The guards yelled and stood in front of Velius who lost even more blood in his face as he roared.

“Shut up the lot of you!” As he ran past them and dropped to his knees. “What a surprise I wasn’t expecting to see milord here.” He bowed.

“What can I do for you today?” He asked as Gohan glanced down at him.

“I am curious emperor what is going on here? I just arrived, have you somehow bested your enemies?” Gohan asked fawning ignorance.

‘He…he doesn’t know!’ Velius thought and relief flooded his system as he turned to Triton and pointed his finger.

“This king turned his empire against us when you defeated Darkseid and tried to take advantage of your absence to overthrow us but luckily my subordinates figured out their scheme and we turned it around.” Velius lied through his teeth.

Gohan nodded. “I see, good job then I was just here to inform you all not to invade the western galaxy as I have plans for it in the future.” Gohan said as Velius nodded.

“Of course, anything you desire Lord Gohan!” He said as Triton’s jaw dropped at the blatant lie Velius just told.

“Is what you wanted me to say right?” Gohan asked as Velius’s expression dropped.

“You think I am a fool huh?” He asked as he walked towards Velius and raised his hand and a purple aura surrounded him. “I was recently told I am very benevolent do you agree?” Gohan asked as Velius just nodded.

“The most my lord! Please forgive me!” He begged as Gohan lowered his hand and his expression softened just barely.

“Get out of my face and leave this world.” Gohan said as Velius just nodded before standing up but was stopped by Gohan. “Hold on, there is still a price to pay for lying directly to my face. Do you accept?” Gohan asked as Velius nodded sweating, he knew his life could end at any moment he had no choice but to accept.

“The price is your Empire.” Gohan stated coldly, Vermont looked at Gohan he was proud of the idea and it showed Gohan meant business. “Either your Empire gets erased from existence or you do…and if you get any funny ideas just know if I erase you, your soul goes as well- you cease to exist permanently there is no afterlife if there is no soul.” Gohan said leaving the ultimatum as a purple orb of power appeared in his hand.

“I have no use for a schemer.” Gohan stated as Velius fell back in shock as those surrounding them couldn’t believe their ears but no one said anything as Velius looked around desperately wanting help but no one could meet his gaze except for Triton who made eye contact with him and smirked.

“I understand…” Velius answered as he got up. “Can I choose the planet I will spend the rest of my days on?” He asked as Gohan nodded.

“Any world you choose except your home world.” He said. “This is the only way I can let this slide.”

“What will happen to my empire?” He asked as Gohan shrugged.

“It will be dismantled and everything it owns will be relinquished and returned to where it was originally found and worlds that are dependant on it will be equally divided among the remaining nations that know how to listen.” Gohan explained.

“Remove him from my sight.” Gohan said as no one knew what to do. “Are you all hard of hearing?” He asked as he glared at the guards. “Failure to follow my orders means your soul will forever disappear never to return to the living world and trust me I will know if you don’t do as I say.” They quickly got the picture and helped Velius up who seemed to be mentally distraught as Gohan walked passed them towards Triton and his family who were silent.

Gohan snapped his fingers as the shackles started disintegrating with purple sparkles allowing them to stand but they just bowed as he approached.

Strix was finally able to move and was about to leave but Vermont stood in her way. “My lord asked me to make sure you go nowhere.” He informed her as she glanced at Gohan and nodded before giving a short bow to Vermont and remained.

“You are King Triton I presume?” He asked as Triton nodded.

“Your assumption is correct my lord, how can I be of assistance to you?” He asked.

“You all may rise.” Gohan said as they stood up as Gohan’s cold expression warmed as he smiled which stunned them slightly.

“Your ruling methods are exemplary, you have my praise mortal king.” Gohan said as the King couldn’t believe his ears at the sound but felt indescribable joy rise from within but he contained it.

“I am not worthy to hear such words from one as great as yourself!” He said as he bowed his head again, Arlen smiled and bowed as well.

“Tell me, which empire holds the greatest hold over the eastern section of the universe?” Gohan asked.

“That would be us my lord, we were at war with the Eve Empire for many years to gain more control but unfortunately we were at a stalemate due to the similar strength between our empires, many smaller nations banded together beneath our flag to survive the Eve Empires conquest, without our allies we would have fallen many moons ago.” He explained as Gohan nodded understanding the situation.

“So that is why you sent such a large fleet to defend one of the outer worlds?” Gohan asked as Triton nodded.

“Without them we would have fallen regardless, if they survived there would always be a nation to rise against the Eve empire, it may not have been as the Lou Empire but they would have been able to repel the invasion eventually.” Triton answered.

“You valued the chance to oppose against the Evenians even if it meant that you wouldn’t be the head…admirable.” Gohan said as he shook his head.

“To tell you the truth my lord it was my wife’s suggestion and my daughter agreed with her.” He explained as Gohan looked towards the females, the Queen bowed her head and the princess kind of shrunk and tried to hide away behind her mother which made Gohan chuckle but she quickly realized that he could see her so she just stepped forward and bowed.

“Impressive.” Gohan said as he turned and walked away. “Darkseid is gone and now your enemies are disbanded, keep ruling as you are and we will have no problems.”

“My lord!” The Queen called out as Gohan stopped and turned to look at her. “Unfortunately we won’t be able to much longer as the world we wanted to protect was attacked by Darkseids forces and we might lose the ability to maintain control over the empire if our forces get weakened too considerably, we have already lost our strongest warrior.” She said as the King turned to her.

“Arlen! That is not his problem he already saved us how can you even bring up the matter?” Triton asked as he looked to Gohan.

“Forgive her Lord Gohan the praise must have gone to her head.” He said as Gohan just started laughing, he will probably never get used to this, but the outright laughter seemed to frighten them somewhat which he noticed.

“If I am laughing it means I am very pleased so do not stress so much, you will shorten your already short lifespan.” Gohan said as he walked back to them and looked at the being on the ground who laid their lifeless at Strix’s feet, he raised his hand towards the body and lifted it and brought it in front of Vermont.

“Consider this a favor.” Gohan said as Vermont seemed to understand and nodded as he tapped the body with his staff and in that moment the person’s eyes shot open and gasped for air before feeling himself making sure he was not dreaming, he could swear he was dead and in a line waiting to be judged, he just looked up and saw a person talking to the royal family.

“If you run into any problems you absolutely cannot handle on your own than you may ask for my help.” Gohan said. “But only emergencies, anything less and I will assume you believe I am your subordinate.” He said but they were stunned beyond words at the miracle that was performed before their very eyes as their strongest warrior was brought back from the dead.

“But since I have chosen you to rule the eastern quadrant I will help you remain in power but do not do anything that will make you fall out of favor because as easily as I put you in power I can remove you.” Gohan stated as they just dropped to their knees again and bowed to him along with everyone in the palace as they just witnessed death be reversed with such ease.

“Rise, there are rules I will go over with you when I return however the number 1 rule I have is I absolutely abolish worship.” Gohan stated as they quickly rose hearing that. “Do not question why just know I do not condone it, you may treat me as a very important person and I demand respect but not worship.”

“Vermont.” Gohan called out as Vermont walked next to him. “Lord Gohan?” He asked.

“Where is this world that is under attack?” He asked as Vermont checked his staff. “It is further into the eastern quadrant.” He responded as Gohan’s stomach growled shaking the palace as he looked down in embarrassment.

“I really need to eat.” He said as Vermont chuckled, the princess spoke suddenly.

“We can have a feast to celebrate your lordships backing of the Lou empire!” She said as they all looked at her and Vermont looked at Gohan.

“A splendid idea!” The queen chimed in. “My lord seems to have quite the voracious appetite, only the best in the galaxy will suffice, what say you my lord?” She asked as she bowed her head shortly as a sign of respect.

“I mean sure, I would love a good meal how about in one week I will return for the feast.” He said as she nodded.

“How long will it take for us to arrive at that world?” He asked Vermont who answered. “About a minute of travel.” He answered as Gohan nodded and looked at Strix and motioned for her to come over which she did. “Heal her as well.” Gohan said as he nodded and in an instant she was healed.

“I see you have a lot of potential as a warrior, I have an idea in my mind but I am on the fence, how would you like to join a personal elite squad of mine?” Gohan offered her leaving everyone stunned.

“I would be honored.” She said as she got down on one knee but her tone, it was bland, monotone and uninterested. “Alright then you will be coming with me.” Gohan said as she just nodded and stood up as Gohan looked at Vermont who nodded as they disappeared in a flash of light making everyone cover their eyes from the light.

King Triton dropped down and relaxed as the soldiers made their way over. “My lord!” They called out as they helped him up.

“We have earned the favor of Lord Gohan.” He said as the warrior slowly got up and made his way over.

“My king…I seem to be back, what happened? I was sure I had lost to Strix.” He said as the King looked at him and started explaining which really let the situation sink in.

“I was brought back by the God of Destruction?” He asked surprised he didn’t even know such a being existed.

Strix remained quiet mostly as Gohan spoke to Vermont. “How is the world?” He asked.

“It seems a Saiyan is there laying waste to the empire’s soldiers.” He explained as Gohan’s eyes widened. “A SAIYAN?” He asked as Vermont nodded as he checked his staff.

“I didn’t notice before but there seems to be a planet in the universe that is not meant to be here, seems Planet Vegeta from the 2nd universe is here.” He answered as Gohan’s jaw dropped, he couldn’t believe his ears.

“Saiyans?” He said as Vermont nodded.

“Seems your previous battle with Lord Beerus must have seriously damaged the time-space continuum.” Vermont said as Gohan’s jaw clenched.

“Of course it would I still don’t understand why he would go out of his way to do all of this.” Gohan said angrily. “Once I am strong enough I will return to the 7th and beat it out of him.” Gohan growled angrily.

Strix stared at Gohan his tone was different, he seemed genuinely furious with this Beerus fellow.

“If you don’t mind me asking my lord, who is this Beerus?” She asked in the same bland tone as Vermont answered.

“Seeing as you will be around us a lot it is only right you learn of it, Lord Beerus is the God of Destruction of the 7th universe in our sister multiverse and he and Lord Gohan have a feud as he murdered Lord Gohan’s family and friends.” Vermont said as Gohan didn’t say anything as his jaw clenched.

She suddenly felt like she probably shouldn’t have asked that. “Oh I didn’t know I apologize for asking.” She said as Gohan looked at her.

“Don’t be, you didn’t know and you were bound to find out eventually so it doesn’t matter, but refrain from bringing it up unnecessarily.” He said as she just nodded.

“Of course.” She answered as she looked looked at Gohan before looking forward again.

‘I didn’t think even someone as powerful as Lord Gohan would have been wronged by another.’ She thought. ‘For whatever reason he can’t exact his revenge…I wonder why?’ She wondered to herself.

“It’s because I am too weak to do anything about it.” Gohan responded as her head snapped to him.

“I didn’t mean to-” As Gohan raised his hand.

“I should be the one apologizing as I read your mind without your permission, we will have to strengthen your mind so that it isn’t so easy to read, your thoughts just kind of wonder when you think and it’s very easy to intercept.” Gohan explained as she nodded and lowered her head.

“It’s why no mortal would ever be able to fool me.” Gohan explained. “But it’s a gross violation of privacy which is why I don’t do it willingly unless necessary but it’s harder for me to not read their minds than it is for them to hide their thoughts from me.” Gohan explained as she nodded.

“If you have more questions just ask because I can understand why you would be shocked that I am powerless against another.” He said as she nodded slowly.

“But understand it will not remain like that forever, once I am done here and return to earth for their planned feast I will return to my world and continue my training.” He explained as he looked at her, she hasn’t expressed an emotion since he saw her in the palace.

“Are you incapable of emotion or is this just how you are?” He asked as he recalled his first interaction with her, she seemed to display some sort of emotion. “When we first fought you had expressions, you seem kind of…lifeless now.” Gohan said.

“Emperor Velius ordered me to use an experimental drug, when you had defeated Darkseid he wanted to conquer Evonia as quickly as possible before your return, Commander Mattis and are generally around the same level but him and are different, he loves his country while I was forced by mine into servitude against my will so even though I was considerably stronger than him after I took the drug he almost defeated me in combat.” She explained as Gohan nodded taking note of this Mattis.

“So his love for his home almost granted him the strength to defeat you.” Gohan concluded as she nodded. “But this doesn’t explain why you seem to not have your emotions, unless this drug had such a drastic effect on you?” He asked as she nodded.

“When it was injected into me I had to cast aside my emotions but as a warrior this is also an upside as I won’t hesitate or have to steady my heart.” She explained she sounded like she truly didn’t care at all about the turn of events which gnawed at Gohan’s heart as she looked forward again.

“You were already healed by Vermont so you should be fine.” Gohan said.

“Unfortunately her soul is now incomplete, whatever that drug did damaged her soul and left it in a horrible condition.” He said.

“It’s not like I am distraught about it.” She continued. “If even my lord cannot restore me to my previous state it matters not, just use me as you wish my lord, I am here to serve as it will give me a purpose in life.” She explained.

“We are here my lord.” Vermont spoke suddenly as they arrived on the planet just as a explosion sounded off.

They saw a female saiyan with a tail floating in the sky as she aimed her hand at a building with another much larger woman behind her. “Do it if you wish to see your people again.” She said as the saiyan released the ki blast.

But before the blast made contact Strix appeared in front of it an slapped the blast away. “Oh? More worms who dares get in the way of Granny Goodness.” She smirked but her smile disappeared as she recognized the warrior in front of her.

“Strix!” She growled. “What brings the Evenian Commander to a Lou world?” She asked as Strix stood upright as Gohan and Vermont appeared beside her.

“Oh you brought allies.” She said as she looked at the Saiyan. “Time to prove your worth, kill them or die trying.” As the saiyan nodded.

‘I wasn’t expecting Strix to show up here…she isn’t someone I can fight alone.’ Granny Goodness thought as she smirked. ‘Not that I need to, rather unfortunate that I will lose a promising fury in the making but oh well.’ She thought as the saiyan charged at Strix who met her advance.

Gohan watched the saiyan, she somehow looked very familiar to him just as Strix knocked her away. “Stop.” Gohan ordered as Strix stopped her fist just as it was about to punch the saiyan.

“Why’d you stop?” The saiyan asked as she growled. “Too pussy to fight me?” She taunted as Gohan chuckled.

“No, I just don’t want her to kill you.” He explained as the female saiyan seemed to recognize the attire and froze in fear as she instantly bowed and got down to one knee as Granny Goodness took note of this, the saiyan was such a hard ass she didn’t even want to bow to Darkseid until he beat her half to death.

“A God of Destruction!? Forgive me my lord I don’t recognize who you are please educate me!” She said.

“So you know what I am?” He asked as she nodded.

“We saiyans know full well to respect destroyer gods when we see one!” She said.

“Who is he?” Granny Goodness asked the saiyan.

“A God of Destruction, back before the great catastrophe we had another destroyer god who tolerated no disrespect, he ruled the universe with an iron fist I am assuming his excellency before me is this dimensions God of Destruction.” She explained.

“Ahh she is talking about Lord Soju, God of Destruction of the 2nd universe.” Vermont explained. “My sister told me he is quite strict.” He nodded remembering the conversation.

Granny Goodness was confused by this, 2nd universe? What nonsense are they talking about but she didn’t like what she was hearing it was probably best to retreat for now and relay the information to her master Lord Darkseid.

“You are correct.” Gohan explained as he floated towards her. “I am Lord Gohan, God of Destruction of the 21st universe, who is this accompanying you?” Gohan asked as she explained.

“This is Granny Goodness, when we arrived here Darks- I mean Lord Darkseid subjugated the Saiyan race, we now serve him as his loyal servants.” She responded as Gohan nodded.

“Well no need, Darkseid is no more I defeated him, he tried to boss me around and I am sure you know how that would go, he is currently not available for comment.” Gohan said as her eyes widened.

“Really!?” She asked as hope filled her eyes but Granny Goodness roared.

“LIES! None can defeat his greatness!” She said as she grabbed her ear. “FURIES! Update! Has Lord Darkseid returned from that back water world?” She asked but as the seconds ticked by her face turned blue as she stared at Gohan in fear before taking off at full speed.

“It must be true…” The saiyan said as she flipped off the retreating Granny Goodness but quickly remembered who was around before quickly bowing again.

“What is your name Saiyan?” He asked.

“Gine!” She responded as Gohan nodded. “Well now that Darkseid’s lacky is no longer forcing you to attack this world what are your intentions now?” He asked, she remained quiet for a few seconds trying to figure out what the right words would be in this situation but she assumed aggression would probably not be the right answer.

“I would like to return to Planet Vegeta and inform King Vegeta of Darkseid’s defeat.” She answered as Gohan nodded and motioned for her to come closer which she slowly did.

“This is Strix, she is part of my elite vanguard.” Gohan explained as she nodded. “I would love to fight her one day if I may.” She said as Gohan nodded.

“If she is up for it then I don’t mind.” Gohan said as Strix nodded.

“Indeed I do not mind however I don’t think it would be a very long one.” Strix commented as Gine bit her tongue and forced herself not to saying anything out of line.

“Place your hand on Strix’s shoulder.” Vermont informed as they left the planet in a bright flash of light.

“Planet Vegeta is very close my lord.” Vermont explained as they flew for ten seconds before arriving which stunned Gine. ‘Close? It took us twelve hours to reach this planet at FTL.’ She thought.

Snapping out of her reverie. “This way my lord.” She informed as they flew towards the Palace.

When they arrived the Saiyans recognized her and then they noticed two familiar looking be beings behind her as they just instantly bowed.

Once they entered the palace every saiyan that saw them bowed instantly. “I do not understand how they are all aware of my lords status as a God, we did not even know such beings existed.” Strix commented as Gohan nodded.

“It’s to be expected this universe hasn’t had a Destroyer for many years until I came along.” Gohan explained as she nodded. “And they come from Soju’s universe and his universe has one of the highest mortal levels in the multiverse, overall they’re very strong as a species.” Gohan explained.

The doors to the throne opened with and King Vegeta sitting on his throne until he saw Gine enter with three beings, two of them gave him PTSD as he stood instantly.

“My king.” Gine started as she bowed once they approached. “I would like to introduce Lord Gohan - God of Destruction of this universe.” She finished as the king walked up to Gohan and bowed.

“Rise king.” Gohan said as the king rose, Gohan felt like he was looking at a mirror image of Vegeta just older.

“I hear you were subjugated by Darkseid and are now forced to do his bidding?” Gohan as the King’s jaw clenched but he nodded.

“It is as you say.”

“Well Darkseid is no longer around so you no longer have to listen to orders from him.” Gohan explained as the King looked up surprised.

“Really?” He asked but he didn’t receive a answer before nodding.

“Now, I would like you all to cease your conquering of worlds as it is causing imbalance to the already fragile balance.” Gohan said as the king just nodded not willing to argue. “Recall all saiyans that were sent out.” He ordered as another saiyan saluted and left.

“This is Strix, she is my elite warrior and liaison if you require anything ask her anything in the future.” Gohan explained as she glanced at him with her expressionless face but said nothing also careful to not think any thoughts.

Before they could continue someone who looked exactly like Goku entered the palace but he stopped when he noticed the King talking to a God of Destruction.

But Gohan’s body froze stiff as he was instantly next to the Saiyan who was surprised at the sudden confrontation but he quickly bowed as Gohan stared at him.

“What is your name?” Gohan asked.

“General Bardock!” He announced as Gohan relaxed slightly before making his way back to King Vegeta he occasionally kept glancing at Bardock.

“He does bore an uncanny resemblance to your father my lord.” Vermont said as Gohan nodded slowly but Gine and King Vegeta heard this.

“How is that possible?” Gine asked surprised as she stared at Gohan’s face and she started to notice that they looked very alike indeed she even noticed some of her own features.

“I was once a Super Saiyan God before I eventually became the God of Destruction.” Gohan explained stunning them further, he wasn’t just a God of Destruction but a saiyan? And not just a normal saiyan but a Super Saiyan God.

“You’re a saiyan?” Gine said stunned as Gohan nodded.

“Well yes.” Gohan explained as his hair turned gold and his eyes turned teal as he pointed at his hair.

“I achieved Super Saiyan when I was 11 years old under my father’s training.” He said as their jaws dropped even more as Gohan returned to base.

“Wait wait…what was his name?” She asked as she motioned for Bardock to come closer but he didn’t want to because he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to but Gine didn’t seem to care as Gohan nodded.

“His name was Son Goku, but his Saiyan name was Kakarot.” Gohan explained stunning everyone again, it was dead silent once he dropped that name.

“My- our son’s name is Kakarot.” She said as Gohan looked at her and Bardock before looking to Vermont who checked his staff and slowly nodded.

“Unbelievable…you are my grandparents doppelgangers from another universe?” Gohan said as he needed to sit down which Vermont took note of and created a chair just as Gohan sat down and held his face trying to digest this.

No one said a word not sure of what to say or do but choose to remain silent, Strix and Vermont seemed to come to the conclusion that Gohan was in shock because he had lost his family in his home universe and here were his grandparents, well a different version of them but still them. ‘Calm down Gohan, you are still a destroyer you can’t show weakness.’ He thought.

Gohan glanced at them. “I knew you seemed familiar when I first saw you…but why did you want to know my father’s name in the first place?” He asked.

“Because well, Bardock was the first Super Saiyan to appear on Planet Vegeta after a thousand years and if you could transform into one I just thought it was too much of a coincidence.” But Gohan shook his head.

“Super Saiyan is not an exclusive transformation to our family, any saiyan who meets the requirements can achieve it under the right conditions.” Gohan explained. “But I guess I can see how you would come to that conclusion.” He said, this was news to everyone else because no one since Bardock was able to transform so they assumed only one saiyan had the capability once every thousand years and most likely his children would inherit the power as well.

Standing upright and assuming his Destroyer position again. “Alright well, I just came here to inform you of the situation…I didn’t expect to find my father’s parents…is he still alive?” Gohan asked Gine who nodded.

“He is with Raditz, they are training.” She explained as Gohan nodded, he really wanted to see him but he knew he shouldn’t, they weren’t his real family.

“I see…well let’s leave Vermont, I have to return.” Gohan said as he turned to walk away. “It was good to see my heritage for the first time.” Gohan explained.

Gine and Bardock were troubled at the revelation that he was Kakarot’s son in another universe but how could they stop such a being, he didn’t seem to want to get to know them either but then a thought struck her.

“My lord!” She said as Gohan was about to exit, he turned and looked at her.

“What did you mean still alive?” She asked.

“My father is dead.” Gohan said as he turned and left stunning her.
