"Strix and I were invited by the rulers of the eastern section of the universe, so we have to go now." Gohan said as he turned. "We will be returning shortly." Gohan said as Vermont walked towards him.

"Gohan!" Gine said catching his attention. "We will become strong enough." She vowed as he nodded.

"I look forward to it." He said as he, Vermont and Strix disappeared in a flash of white light.

On Evonia. "Father! How long must we still wait for this god?" A tall man with broad shoulders asked as Triton looked at him.

"Watch your tongue Baryon! He isn't some god if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have an empire to rule over!" Triton said as Arlen spoke her eyes far colder than before.

"Listen to your father, if not Oasa will be the Empress and you will be renounced as Crown Prince." She said as Baryon looked surprised.

"Mother!" He argued as she stepped down from her throne, he had never seen her so angry before.

"If you speak of Lord Gohan in such a manner again the Empire itself will turn its back on you, we have far too many who look to us for a prideful prince to spit on the name of our savior if you want to ask how many more days we will wait then the answer will be for as long as needed." She said as Baryon just clenched his jaw and growled.

"Fine! At least let me challenge this god of destruction I want to see his strength for myself!" He said but Arlen walked up to him and raised her hand but stopped when a guard ran in and called.

"Emperor Augustus the seventh of the Vanetian Empire has arrived!" The guard announced as Arlen looked at the guard before looking at Baryon.

"Stay your tongue and behave yourself child hopefully you can carry yourself as a Royal, do not fail me as you did just now! The Vanetian Empire knows we are weak, any sign of disorder will be catastrophic." Arlen glared at her first-born son who clenched his fist.

Triton and Oasa watched from their thrones as Baryon and Arlen made their way up to their thrones just as the grand doors of the Lou Empire's throne room opened and an Emperor dressed in blue royal clothes entered with two others dressed in royal blue attire with their retinue.

His blond hair glistening in the light as if on fire, his guards followed behind the Emperor, Prince and Princess.

They looked arrogant and walked with their heads held high their appearance instilled awe in everyone as they passed.

The emperor looked strong and young with strikingly green eyes, they looked very similar to humans but just slightly larger the prince looked exactly like his father, but his hair was longer, and his coat was black, and he gave off an ominous aura but the moment he saw a beautiful maiden in the throne room he shot her a charming grin that made her swoon.

The princess was extremely beautiful her blonde hair was tied in a chic ponytail updo for long curly hair with many accessories adorning her hair a emerald gem used as a hair clip, her eyes were strikingly green as well creating an image that would make many men fall in love at first sight, she had a blue dress with many gems on it, the dress probably costed more than some planets and many of the nobles of the Lou Empire knew it.

"King Triton!" Augustus called out as he stopped in front of the throne with a grin as Triton stood up and walked down to the emperor. "How have you been?" He asked as he glanced around the throne room.

"Emperor Augustus, forgive me for not coming to Princess Carnelia's coming of age ceremony as I am sure you have heard we ran into some problems." He said as Augustus nodded.

"I have heard, at first I thought you weren't interested but to my surprise the great Lou Empire was nearly reduced to rubble!" He said as he grinned but Triton just smiled.

"Nothing can shake our foundation we have very powerful allies in the shadows." Triton responded as Augustus nodded.

"I heard you carry a god in your pocket." He chuckled it sounded ridiculous, but he needed to figure this out himself if a god was really helping them then they would have to reevaluate how they handle the Lou Empire in the future.

"You misunderstand Emperor, I do not carry a god in my pocket our objectives align so we are allied I would not be so arrogant to say I control a god." Triton corrected; he could have easily ridden the wave but that could very easily backfire.

Augustus nodded, so there was truth to the rumors a god...

"Incredible, in one swoop the Evenian Empire came crumbling down you now control the entirety of the eastern hemisphere, correct?" Augustus asked but Triton heard his real question. 'Do you control the eastern hemisphere now if not be prepared?'

"It is as you say, Velius made a grave mistake when he thought he saw weakness and now he is no one it was a great warning to the three great empires." Triton said with a smile. 'Try us and you will be just like him even if you control one of the three greats.'

Augustus looked passed Triton. "Queen Arlen, still as beautiful as always." Arlen smiled and made her way down to Augustus with Oasa and Baryon following.

"Thank you, your majesty." Arlen responded with a slight tilt of her head.

"Greetings your majesties." Princess Carnelia bowed halfway to Triton and Arlen and tilted her head towards Baryon and Oasa.

Pleasantries were exchanged before Triton spoke again.

"Let us go to the dining palace, luckily we have a feast prepared already." Triton responded as they made their way towards the grand dining hall.

The dining hall had table after table lined up with delicacies that looked incredible, food from every corner of the eastern hemisphere was lined up beautifully.

"I didn't think your majesty would go to such lengths." Carnelia said as Oasa spoke.

"Do not misunderstand, this was meant Lord Gohan but he has yet to arrive." She answered.

"Lord?" Carnelia asked. 'Why would a Royal call anyone Lord?' She wondered and nodded.

"You must hold this 'Lord' Gohan in high esteem for the princess of Lou to call him that." The Prince of the Vanetian Empire pointed out.

"That is correct Prince Derrick, Lord Gohan is our greatest benefactor." Princess Oasa said as Baryon scoffed slightly which everyone seemed to notice.

"Where is Princess Eris?" Oasa suddenly said trying to shift the subject, but the atmosphere shifted slightly as a look of disdain appeared on the emperor and princes faces.

"My worthless sister will not be coming, I am sure the universe heard her latest escapades at the last gala, sooner or later father will have her executed." Derrick said as Augustus nodded.

"It is as Prince Derrick said, bringing along a disaster such as her would bring shame to the royals of the Vanetian Empire." Augustus said.

Oasa nodded and internally sighed as Arlen acknowledged her quick thinking with a glance everyone knew that the first princess was notorious for her behavior, the greatest stain of the Vanetian Empire, it was honestly laughable.

The Royals of the universe were known to be ruthless to those who weren't perfect even other royals weren't spared, kings have executed many for their behavior the Eve Empire was especially known for its ruthless behavior.

The royals of the east and west sat at the dining hall. "I came today to propose something." Augustus started.

"Continue." Triton said as he leaned forward, he was curious what would the western royals want with them? He knew one of the greats would visit eventually with the massive power vacuum that now exists in the east.

"I am sure you are aware that the royals of the north and south are aware of your weakened state you may control the east now, but you shared it not too long ago with Darkseid and Velius…I will be forthright." Augustus said as he smirked and leaned back.

"You are weak like a kitten in the eyes of the greats." Augustus said. "In fact, I could easily swallow your small empire before you stabilize and expand."

"..."

"..."

The maids and butlers nearby were taken aback by the direct threat in enemy territory, the retinue had a few guards but nothing grand.

"Commander." Augustus called out as a man took off his helmet and stepped forward and bowed.

"As you can see my second in command is with me and he is stronger than your commander Mattis who is still recovering. This could easily become an invasion." Augustus said. "What do you say to becoming a vassal state?" Augustus asked. "I am being kind you can still play royal, but you should realize who your masters are." Augustus remarked as his children continued eating it was as if nothing but the truth had been spoken.

Triton just continued eating showing he didn't care, Augustus frowned slightly before smiling. 'Your benefactor must be incredible for you to not bat an eyebrow.'

"Emperor Augustus." Queen Arlen spoke catching his attention. "As tempting as that sounds we will have to decline even if you brought your commander we refuse after all we have our pride slaughter us if you must but there will be consequences."

Arlen knew that emperor Augustus was an extremely great leader and ruler he never made any rash decisions and always tried to find out as much as possible before he made a move the very fact that he was being cordial meant he wasn't sure, that was how the Vanetian empire managed to grow in influence and power during his reign his ability to read a situation was spectacular.

"How about marriage?" Prince Derrick asked as he looked at Oasa who just blushed.

"That would have worked if we were on equal standing." Princess Carnelia said the room as silent as the maids and butlers could only hide their anger at the blatant disrespect at their esteemed leaders.

"Now-now Carnelia, no need to be so blunt Princess Oasa and I…I like to think we fancy one another, what say you, Princess Oasa?" Prince Derrick asked as Augustus smirked.

"Be that as it may Prince Derrick, I am sure you understand my feelings on the matter even if we did fancy one another the power imbalance is far too great, you could certainly find a suitor on your 'level' just as I will." She said, her anger was evident as Derrick sighed. 'I cannot even deny him outright, please leave!' Oasa thought to herself Prince Derrick was known for his lustful side if he saw a maiden he fancied he would have her no matter what even if she was betrothed.

"Pointless pride will get you nowhere! Even if you are a concubine, we will treat your empire with great care." Prince Derrick said as Augustus couldn't hold back his smile and Carnelia stifled her laughter, this was a direct slap to their face, how could a Princess of Lou be a concubine!?

Baryon jaw clenched as he snapped his utensil in anger, but Arlen placed her hand on his very clearly telling him to calm down they had to endure war would mean annihilation they could not give Augustus a reason for invasion.

"Did that anger you Prince Baryon?" Princess Carnelia asked with a smile. "You always carried your thoughts on your sleeve."

"Of course not Princess, my sister's hand has already been promised." Baryon said as everyone turned and looked at him surprised.

"Brother!" Oasa said surprised as her mind ran on overdrive to fix her brothers rash words. "T-that was not supposed to be disclosed yet." She said as Arlen sighed but it was clear she was livid.

"It is as Prince Baryon says." Triton said as Derrick sighed and nodded the only thing capable of stopping him was a Royal.

"It cannot be helped then." As a guard suddenly ran into the room.

"A thousand pardons your majesties! Lord Gohan has arrived and is on his way to the dining palace as I speak." The guard informed as the royal family of Lou stood up abruptly surprising the royals of the west, Baryon was hesitant but a stern look from Arlen told him if he valued his position and life, he would listen…or else.

"Guards! Line up! Greet Lord Gohan!" King Triton roared as the Lou family stood at the end of the line bowing slightly surprising the royals of the west.

'I see.' Augustus thought as he eyed his children who had the same thoughts. 'They must already be a vassal state of this Lord Gohan's nation, that must be how they eradicated both Darkseid and Eve back-to-back.'

They remained seated and turned to look at the palace doors as they swung open. "Announcing Lord Gohan! God of Destruction and ruler of the universe!"

"Announcing Lady Strix left hand of Lord Gohan!"

"Announcing Master Vermont Attendant of Lord Gohan!" The announcements finished.

This caught the attention of the royals of west, Princess Carnelia dropped her utensil at the announcement, she couldn't believe her ears.

'Someone dares say they rule the whole universe!?' Prince Derrick thought to himself, and he could tell his father and sister were thinking along the same lines.

'God of Destruction? So, this must be the god behind Lou's confidence, it certainly sounds intimidating.' Carnelia thought as she stared with cold eyes. 'If he lives up to his reputation then I might just use him myself.'

Three beings entered, a man with black hair and a strange attire his arms were behind his back as he entered a female who was on his left wore similar clothes, she also had golden bracelets and a golden earing on her left ear, but her appearance caught their attention.

'FOLIAN!? There aren't any on the market currently this is a great turn of events…perhaps I can purchase her from this being…it has been many moons since I laid with a folian.'

But a chill went down Prince Derrick's spine as she turned and made eye contact with him before looking forward again. 'That was odd.' He thought but the next move actually stunned them into silence as the royal family of Lou and all the attendants and guards got down on one knee.

"My lord we have eagerly awaited your return! Unfortunately, the feast started earlier due to the royals of the west coming." King Triton spoke with his eyes closed and head bowed.

"Was this not supposed to be in honor of my lord?" She asked her emotionless tone was very confusing, was she angry? Was she not?

"Forgive us but we couldn't ignore the royals of the west." King Triton answered honestly as she nodded, she had picked up a few new tricks since she started learning under Lord Gohan and Master Vermont.

"How will you rectify this disrespect? To give the food meant for Lord Gohan to another is a crime against my lord that I will not stand you have five seconds to explain, or your planet is forfeit." She said as she raised her hand and a ki ball appeared, humming into life as green electricity sparked around the ball.

"Name anything and we will do everything in our power to attain it." King Triton said as he started sweating.

'I knew we shouldn't have entertained them but there is no guarantee Lord Gohan would back us if the Royals of west turned against us, we are nothing to them…this universe is a cruel place.' Queen Arlen thought as she kept her mouth shut, only the king could talk right now she was not given permission.

"So, you wish to pay my lord with his own property? Quite astonishing you would bargain with what is not yours." Strix said.

The guards of the Vanetian Empire were in front of their royals ready for anything.

Gohan just watched, he was also taking notes from Strix she was more accustomed to how the leaders operated seeing as she was the commander of Velius's Eve Empire he didn't even think of it like that, but she made excellent points, honestly, she would be a fantastic goddess of destruction she had this whole situation under control, and he knew she wouldn't do anything stupid either.

Vermont chuckled, he found this quite amusing he hadn't seen a scene like this for many years perhaps when Lord Gohan retires many years from now, she will take his place.

Oasa did her best to hide her tears the ball of light was emanating heat; it was very warm, and she knew that it was a method of attack.

"Seeing as you have no ideas make sure to never disrespect Lord Gohan like this ever again, it is an affront to his great name bring ten times the amount of food here right now or I will blow up Evonia this instant with you all on it." She ordered as King Triton nodded.

"You heard her! Bring ten times the amount of food here this instant!" King Triton ordered as the soldiers ran out to relay the orders.

They turned and made their way towards the tables and made eye contact with the Royal family of Vanetia, Augustus stood up. "Greetings Lord Gohan, I believe we haven't had the honor of meeting." Augustus spoke as Gohan stepped forward.

"You are?" Gohan asked as Prince Derricks jaw clenched.

'How rude!?' He thought to himself and glared as Strix suddenly disappeared, but Gohan raised his hand, and she was suddenly next to Prince Derrick with her hand right behind his neck she was clearly about to behead him, but she was frozen.

Realizing she was being held in place by Gohan's telekinesis she relaxed as Gohan released her, she bowed even though the knights around her were stunned momentarily they quickly grew angry.

"A thousand pardons, this one looked at my lord with eyes unbefitting of a worm." She answered as a guard drew his blade and swung it at Strix who did nothing as she bowed but the blade just stopped on her neck unable to move forward even chipping it stunning them the blade just broke upon contact.

King Triton stepped forward with a pale complexion. "Emperor Augustus reconsider who you are going up against he is a God of Destruction!" Triton warned and Augustus could see true fear in his eyes.

But that didn't matter this slave called Derrick a worm. "You dare address the Crown Prince of Vanetia with such disrespect!" As Gohan sighed and walked up to Augustus as his guards tried to protect him but they just flew into the corners of the palace as Gohan stood face to face with Augustus before walking up to the table.

"I guess I need to show you why I am a God of Destruction, if you are the ruler of the west then I suppose I can't just kill you off it would make controlling the universe an even bigger chore." He said as he smiled. "Vermont would you please protect everyone at the table." As Vermont nodded and a shield appeared around them.

'Yes, show me slayer of Darkseid.' Augustus thought, after all he wasn't truly angry, he knew more about those rumors than anyone else, he just wanted to see what this god would do. If he claimed to be ruler of the ENTIRE universe then he wanted to be shown why he needed a reason to bend the knee just as the Royals of east have if he was disappointed, he would have all their heads on stakes and unbeknownst to him Gohan could hear his thoughts and feel his emotions.

"Now, this is what happens to those who do not listen when you have the chance." Gohan said as he tapped the table filled with food just for the planet to explode with incredible force, every single thing was wiped out instantly.

Augustus looked at this as fear flash across his face, they were suddenly in the void of space with nothing around not even chunks of the planet remained as King Triton dropped to his knees in shock.

"No…Evonia…" He said in disbelief as he looked at Augustus furiously, he would never look at a God of Destruction with those eyes. "YOU FOOL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! BECAUSE OF YOUR ARROGANCE I LOST MY CAPITAL WORLD!" Triton roared as he walked up to Augustus in anger, but Augustus seemed to be in deep thought and on the inside a plan was made.

Oasa fell back in fear as they stared at Gohan who was outside the shield in the void of space staring at Augustus, Arlen and Baryon were just stun locked their capital world was reduced to ashes in mere seconds.

Gohan suddenly appeared in the shield and walked next to Vermont and Strix who said nothing. "Next time I will remove not just a planet but your whole empire and all the galaxies you own just as easily as I removed Evonia, instantly, and before anyone even notices you will be a relic of the past."

Oasa started tearing up, her ladies in waiting were like her best friends and they just vanished in the blink of an eye.

Baryon gulped in fear and suddenly understand why his family treated this Lord Gohan with such great respect, but he also felt great anger why were they subjected to this when they were his loyal servants.

"Correct Prince." Gohan said as he turned to Vermont who nodded and tapped his staff on the ground and as if the universe came to a halt before everything started moving backwards.

"I do not mistreat those who are loyal." Gohan said as Evonia returned before their very eyes, the shield dropped as the rest of the servants looked on confused as Gohan grabbed a fruit that looked like an apple and took a bite.

"Hmmm this is very nice, what is this called?" He asked but everyone was stun locked again.

Oasa was the first to respond. "Lappls." She answered as Gohan looked at the fruit in surprise before laughing. "Lappls, wow." He picked two more and tossed it to Vermont and Strix.

"Have a taste." They nodded.

"You are quite right my lord." Vermont said as he finished the whole thing, Strix nodded.

"W-what just happened?" Baryon asked surprised.

"My attendant turned back time, only those who were shielded can remember this." Gohan explained as Strix looked at Vermont, her face was blank as she answered.

"Master always surprises me." She said as Vermont chuckled.

"It is childs play." He answered as Triton and his family just bowed again.

"Each time we see Lord Gohan, you always show us your great abilities and strength!" Gohan shrugged and sat down ignoring everyone.

"Let's eat, I didn't come all the way here to waste my time you suggested I return for a feast, but this has been a very distasteful experience just know I won't order my attendant to turn back time for your sake again." Gohan said as they nodded.

But before they could take a seat to continue Vermont's staff glowed. "My lord." He got Gohan's attention.

"A universe eater is making its way towards the 21st." Vermont said as Gohan sighed and got up.

"I saw it earlier in the paperwork, but I thought it was heading towards Soju's universe? Not that it matters let's go, Strix remain here and enjoy the food we shouldn't be too long." He said as he and Vermont vanished.

It was silent as everyone just slowly sat down. "I hope you learned your lesson emperor Augustus." Triton said but the royals of the west were silent.

Strix stared at Carnelia unnerving her. "My lord has no interest in courtship." Carnelia blushed as everyone looked at her.

"You cannot be serious Carnelia! That mons- I mean Lord Gohan is someone father would never-"

"Go for it if you can." Augustus suddenly said as he looked to still be in deep thought.

Carnelia blushed as she nodded. 'There is something about him…absolute power and authority…none of the greats can go against someone like that…he is perfect.'

Gohan and Vermont appeared outside of the universe staring at an endless void of nothing. "So, this is the great beyond, pretty impressive." As an astral body slowly got closer and closer and opened its mouth.

Gohan flared his ki and fired a blast at it, but it just ignored the blast. "Woah it's stronger than I thought." As he powered up to maximum power in base state and fired another, but it still did nothing but just annoy the being.

"These beings come from different universes that lost their lives to powerful contenders and some lost their lives to destroyers they were very powerful during their time so my lord will need more power than that." Vermont explained as Gohan nodded.

"I am still weak." He sighed as he powered up and transformed into Super Saiyan Rose causing vibrations to echo and slam into the universe nearby as he charged a ki blast and fired it, this time the being screeched in pain before turning away Gohan powered down and turned to fly back to Vermont but quickly turned around as an astral arm struck him with incredible force knocking him into the barrier around his universe creating another intense vibration.

Back on Evonia the planet suddenly started rattling before abruptly shaking knocking a few people over. "What in the?" Arlen asked as Strix stood up and looked towards a wall before she sat down again.

"Do not be alarmed my lord is busy." She assured as they just nodded.

He screamed in pain as he coughed up blood from the single strike, he quickly powered back up and guarded himself and charged a full power kamehameha wave that completely enveloped the being eviscerating it on the spot.

"I shouldn't have lowered my guard." He thought to himself as he fired a weak ki blast at a small astral body in the distance destroying it. "Before you grow and become a problem."

The dining palace was silent as they ate, Carnelia looked like she was still blushing and thinking of Gohan as she looked at Strix. "Lady Strix, do you mind if I ask you where Lord Gohan has gone, we are all curious as to why the palace just shook so violently?" She asked as Strix looked at her.

"His duty as a destroyer god, your peace is a luxury that is afforded by the mercy of the god of destruction outside of the universe are many dangers that even I would die to, he protects our universe from those who wish to take over or eat it just now it seems his battle with the universe eater grew in intensity." She explained which seemed to make Carnelia swoon a little.

"So, the God of Destruction protects us?" Augustus asked as she nodded.

"Who would not protect their belongings from others looking to bully the weak." Strix answered. "Your internal strife matters very little to Lord Gohan as long as you don't upset him or do something that directly disrupts the balance of his universe, he won't destroy you as well."

Augustus nodded, he was still absorbing the scene of destruction he saw and how the hands of time were just turned back.

"He also has power over life and death." Triton interjected. "He brought commander Mattis back to life after he was killed."

"So, he is a true god…" Augustus said as Gohan and Vermont appeared.

"My lord!" Strix said as Gohan raised his hand.

"Stay seated let's eat." He said as she nodded and stared at his hair, it was her first time seeing Super Saiyan Rose and it looked beautiful he looked so majestic and elegant, and Carnelia was mesmerized by him.

The others were confused but they didn't question it. "My lord you seem to still be powered up." She pointed out.

"Oh, thanks for telling me, Strix." He said as his hair changed back to black along with his eyes. "I haven't seen that form before my lord." She said, her curiosity was showing. "The danger outside must have been great."

Gohan nodded. "Yes, I had to use a lot of power." Gohan answered as he felt lightheaded before catching himself as he leaned forward his nose seemed to be bleeding.

"It seems your body was damaged from that strike my lord." Vermont pointed out as he was about to pull out a handkerchief but was surprised when the female princess beat him to it.

"Thank you." Gohan said as he wiped the blood away. "It must have been that cheap shot it got in when I powered down, but it doesn't matter anymore." He said as he smiled at Carnelia who just nodded eagerly.

"It must have been very strong to make my lord bleed." She said, everyone except Gohan and Vermont knew what was going on.

"Not really, I was just careless." He explained as he started eating and luckily more food started coming in because the table started emptying at a ridiculous rate.

"My lord has a large appetite." Strix answered as they all just nodded.

"Uhm…" Derrick cleared his throat and spoke to Gohan.

"My lord, I have been meaning to ask if it would be possible to discuss the price of your folian servant." He asked but suddenly it got very quiet as Gohan stopped eating and Augustus looked at Derrick like he grew a second head before he stood up and slapped Derrick harshly across his face.

"Are you daft!? How dare you ask such a question!" Augustus asked angrily, his heart was pounding clearly the folian servant was important, everything from her clothes and casual tone with the destroyer god indicated that she was his servant.

'I didn't raise such a fool, did I? I understand he is a lustful man, but can he not read a room!? Is he even my son?' Augustus thought to himself, he had already come to the conclusion that they could do absolutely nothing against this god and he needed these beings backing, the north and south seemed to be doing something in the shadows, Vanetia was in a precarious situation there was a reason as to why they rushed to the east to absorb it.

"You are no better than your useless sister!" He grabbed Derrick who was stunned into silence by the slap and threw Derrick down to Gohan's feet.

"Please take his life as compensation for his outrageous words." Augustus said as Carnelia looked at Derrick with pity, he was dumber than she expected. 'And this was the man father wanted to be ruler? Eris could do a better job.' She scowled those cold eyes staring at her brother.

Gohan was still. "What. Did. You. Just. Ask. Me?" He turned and looked at Derrick with a vein pulsating on his forehead.

'I shouldn't kill an innocent man.' Gohan thought to himself over and over as purple energy started to leak from him. 'I have to control destruction...not the other way around.' He thought.

Derrick looked at his father surprised but Augustus looked at him with disgust, he could tell his father was extremely disappointed in him and disappointment for a Royal was almost a death sentence his past achievements meant basically nothing now, he could only beg now.

But he took a deep breath and relaxed as Derrick bowed and the shaking stopped. "A thousand apologies my lord I had assumed you acquired her from a slave market."

"Even if I had, what is she currently wearing? What was announced as we entered?" Gohan asked. "I am struggling to understand your thinking."

Gohan glared at Derrick as he aimed his hand at him, and a purple orb appeared. "As a God of Destruction, I have the ability to remove you from the cycle of life I can erase you completely for all eternity." As Derrick's face paled, the guards wanted to step forward, but the emperor had made his will very clear he wanted to separate the empire from this.

"I have a question for you mortal." Gohan asked as he glared at Derrick. "Do you own a Folian?" He asked. "If you lie I will erase you on the spot."

"Y-yes…I own seven." He answered.

"Let me rephrase." Gohan said as he aimed his hand at the rest of the royals of west. "How many Folians does your empire own? I will have you know that slavery is something I find ABSOLUTELY revolting any nation that does partake in this willingly will be on my list." Gohan announced.

Augustus stood up and bowed down on one knee. "We have exactly one hundred and seven Folian slaves my lord, as you order slavery will be abolished." He said as Gohan relaxed and lowered his arm and sat down.

"Good, I am glad you understand, have all those folian slaves ready for me to take I will have the Supreme Kai create a new world for them." He said as he tried to eat again but just sighed in irritation. "That spoiled my mood…I have a new order I want you all to arrange a meeting with the leaders of the north and south I need to let them know who I am and of course I want you all to be there as well, I don't care where it is or what you all have to do to make it happen."

Vermont stood up he could tell Gohan was angry.

"Let's leave, Strix, Vermont, I have a list of worlds in the west that have exceeded their expiry date." He said as Vermont nodded and they all vanished in a bright light.

Augustus turned to Derrick with a face red of anger as he looked to his guards. "Hand me your sword! I'll end his life myself!" He exclaimed as Carnelia walked up to him.

"Father…" She said as he realized they were still on Evonia, he quickly recomposed himself but his blood was boiling how could his own son make such a dumb mistake was he blinded by lust?

Turning to Triton Augustus spoke. "The Vanetian Empire will host the event, I trust you have no problem with this." He said as Triton nodded.

"We are leaving!" Augustus ordered as he turned and walked away. "We will see each other another time King Triton." He said as Triton said nothing but watched as they left. 'You understand now, I can already see why you want to host the event, you want to look like you are on good terms with the god of destruction.' Triton thought.

'I understand why Triton and Arlen bend their knees now, this god is dangerous…no not dangerous to competent individuals but to incompetent idiots he is a walking disaster, I have to inform everyone to not anger him at any cost, convincing those old fools will give me a headache but imperial laws will be changed…I will make sure.' As they boarded their flag ship.

"Emperor we have news from home, over three hundred resource rich worlds have vanished!" He said as Augustus turned to Derrick and backhanded him.

"You are no longer heir to the throne, your actions weakened us." He said stunning the guards who had no idea what happened.

"Princess Carnelia is henceforth heir to the Vanetian Empire, she will be the next empress let it be known far and wide and if three beings are spotted, whether together or apart do NOT disrespect them! Gather the nobles from all sections of the west, changes are going to be made and they cannot give me an excuse even if they are unwell, they will send a representative!" He exclaimed as Carnelia looked at Derrick with pity who was just broken.

'Now you know how Eris felt when you betrayed her.' Carnelia thought.

While flying through the universe Gohan spoke to Vermont. "Find me a list of worlds of both the south and north empires if there are worlds inhabited make sure to include the ones with the gravest sins, I need to make a statement." Gohan said. "If I cannot balance the universe and make it a prosperous place for its people then the mortal level will never rise."

"Vermont return to my world and continue training the saiyans, Strix and I will head to earth I haven't been there for a while now." He finished.

Elsewhere in the universe Granny Goodness sat forward with a shocked expression, the furies couldn't believe their ears and Steppenwolf had a grin plastered onto his face. "So he has such a weakness…interesting."

"It sounds ridiculous but I don't doubt her words." Sinestro answered.

"With my intellect the plan will be full prove." A green man in purple armor said, he had multiple cables attached to him.

"Once the summoning is complete it will be as easy as taking candy from a baby." A woman said as she stepped forward with a grin.

"Tell me, what do you get from this Enchantress?" Granny Goodness asked as she smirked.

"I have come across one destroyer god before, many, many millions of years ago and to my surprise they aren't insurmountable and I have my reasons." She answered as Granny Goodness nodded.

"Well I don't really care but if it's possible to humble that gnat then I am in." Steppenwolf said with a grin. "You said the item needed for the ritual is on earth?" He asked.

"Yes." Enchantress nodded. "Specifically Themyscira, the moment we slaughter the amazons and get the item we have to immediately start, the sooner the better it would be catastrophic if he arrives before it can be done."

While flying through space Strix kept glancing at Gohan. "Don't look so surprised Strix, I do not want your people to continue suffering not as long as I am here." Strix just nodded.

Gohan returned to earth with Strix and floated outside the watchtower and waited for a few seconds until the hanger opened.

"Gohan!" Barry said as he made his way over to him. "How have you been? I thought you wouldn't come back it's been a short while now."

"Yeah, I was just busy too many stuff out there threatening balance." As Barry nodded and another person entered.

"Gohan!" She called out as Gohan smiled.

"Diana, nice to see you again." He said as Strix stepped forward but Gohan quickly interjected. "These are my friends Strix, they are allowed to be informal." She just nodded.

"Who is this?" Barry asked with a grin. "You sly dog, you are already flirting with Diana and now you have another woman?" He teased as Gohan blushed.

"Barry! It's not like that Strix is my subordinate, when I am not around she will be the next line of authority." He explained as Barry nodded.

"Yeah yeah." He teased but Diana however just blushed bright red unlike before.

They made their way towards the monitor room where Batman was typing away. "You must have been busy." Batman started as Gohan nodded sheepishly. "There have been cosmic tremors recently."

"Yeah, there was a universe eater nearby and I was training." Gohan explained as Batman stopped typing for a second before nodding and continuing again.

"There must be a reason as to why you visited." Batman asked.

"Yeah actually, would it be possible to set up another meeting with the general assembly?" Gohan asked as Batman nodded.

"I have already submitted the request, it was approved a week ago it can happen as soon as two days from now." Batman responded as Gohan's eyes widened.

"How did you know that?" He asked as Batman pointed at Barry.

"He mentioned that you want to hold another general assembly to clear any misunderstandings a few weeks ago before you left." Gohan nodded.

"Awesome that works I am short on time as well, I have a meeting with the leaders of the universe soon." Gohan explained. "Too many inhumane actions have been occurring and it has been directly affecting the peace of the universe."

"We would like to be present as well." Batman said as Gohan nodded.

"That won't be a problem but during that meeting I will not be able to show favoritism so please inform everyone that they cannot be friendly with me then." He said as he turned and pulled Strix forward. "She needs help, I can't do anything about it because it was brought about from artificial means so I would like to know if it can be undone via artificial means."

Batman looked at Strix and nodded. "Alright I'll have her sent to the medical ward and the general assembly will be ready in two days." He explained as Gohan nodded and spoke to her.

"You can trust him." Strix nodded and followed Batman away.

"I'll see you later Gohan!" Barry said. "Central city needs me, drop by if you have time." As Gohan nodded Flash zoomed away.

Now it was just Gohan and Diana present, there was an awkward silence that wasn't there before. "So dinner?" Gohan asked as she nodded.

"I would be honored." As they turned and walked towards her invisible jet and left for earth.

It was unbearably silent as Gohan tugged at his destroyer attire, was it always so tight?

"So Diana…" He started as she glanced to him. "I can't be the only one feeling this weird tension…right?" He asked as she blushed and nodded.

'You have been on my mind since you left…' Diana thought as Gohan turned beet red before he did his best to reject her thoughts and not read them. 'It's strange, now that you are here my heart just won't stop beating so loudly in my chest.' She thought to herself.

'Here goes nothing.' He thought as the jet landed, before they could exit Gohan stopped her. "Diana…" She stopped and turned.

"I like you."

"..."

"..."

"I just wanted to tell you that…you do not have to reciprocate but your warrior strength and strong will drew me towards you." He said as he fought furiously to keep his face from turning red. "You are extremely easy to get along with as well."

"And I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen-" He didn't finish as she walked up to him and kissed him pushing him against the jet.

"I thought it'd be blasphemy to reveal how I felt but if you feel the same way…" Diana started as Gohan kissed her back while blushing fully now.

'If anyone had to see a destroyer god in this state I would be mortified.' Gohan thought to himself. 'But…for her I don't mind.' He thought.

"But now that it has come to this you are mine now Son Gohan…" She said as he blushed even more, what was this power dynamic? She was literally in control and he liked it a lot but that didn't mean he would submit as he turned and put her against the jet, a small challenge sparking.

"The same goes for you, you now belong to me Diana." Gohan said as she smirked at him her cheeks red as she pulled him in for another kiss.

When they separated Gohan smiled at her. 'God she's so beautiful.' He thought to himself as they exited the jet made their way towards the restaurant from before but soon people started noticing who Diana was walking with.

"Lord Gohan!" Many started to surround them as they called his name.

Gohan smiled at them and waved they wanted autographs and pictures; I mean who wouldn't want a picture with the ruler of the universe.

They slowly made their way through the crowd of people. "Please everyone be calm, Lord Gohan is a guest on earth for a short while." Diana interjected as most started to understand that they were probably being annoying and soon only kids and teens would shyly approach the two as they continued their walk to the restaurant.

When they arrived and entered the owner of the place greeted them personally. "Sir, please enjoy your meal everything is on the house have as much as you would like to have, the government has issued a law with a special budget for you." He explained as Gohan nodded.

"Thank you." As they entered a section of the restaurant that was emptied out to give them privacy.

Outside a bunch of camera crews and freelance journalists were waiting for a chance to catch him. "You have certainly become a superstar." Diana said as they said down.

"I guess, I don't like it but in order to accomplish my goals I have no choice I suppose." Gohan said as she leaned forward.

"Goals?"

"Yeah, I have to make the universe a safer place so that civilizations can progress and become stronger and produce stronger warriors." Gohan said.

"Why do you need that to happen?"

"To raise the mortal level, I need to become stronger, and this universe needs to become stronger as well most gods of destruction don't really care as long as no one tries to destroy the universe, but I want to be more involved if I ever want to visit my home universe, I need to become one of the most powerful destroyer gods and the mortal level has to be above average." Gohan explained as she nodded.

"Will you return?" She asked. "Once you achieve your goal?"

Gohan smiled and leaned forward and held her hand. "Of course, this is my home now as well." Just as a waiter walked in and bowed, if she saw the scene then she was excellent at hiding it as she handed them their menu's before leaving but Gohan could tell her heart rate picked up considerably, maybe she was also just nervous to be waiting on the god of destruction everyone was well aware that he was a god that sat at the top of the universe.
