Battle Across The Omniverse

Chapter 353: Zeno's Palace



Jayr POV - Jayr's Battle Universe - Age 779

Goza spreads his arms wide and declares, "This is the perfect form that makes full use of our Saiyan heritage. This form gives the user the super strength and speed of a Great Ape in a humanoid size but with a calm, clever mind. But just like the other Saiyan transformation it still does affect our mentality a little making the user very cold, arrogant, and aggressive."

In response to his son's words, Goku smiles widely as he comments, "This is amazin', Goza! Your current Ki is completely out of this world! I'm sure that I have never felt such powerful Ki before!"

Shortly after saying that, Goku takes his iconic fighting stance and says, "Enough talkin'! It's time to see just how powerful this Super Saiyan 4 of yours truly is!"

In response to his father's words, Goza doesn't waste any more time and immediately makes his move rushing toward Goku with incredible speed that takes Goku by surprise as he appears in front of him almost in an instant before he starts his assault delivering a barrage of punches and kicks.

Even if taken by surprise by Goza's massive increase in speed, Goku is still able to react and quickly starts to block, parry, and counterattack, but different from the previous exchange, this time Goza has a clear advantage and he quickly starts to overwhelm Goku's defenses and lands quite a few blows until he sends his father crashing toward the ground with a devastating Double Axe Handle.

While watching this battle, the people all around me couldn't help themselves to comment out loud with shock, awe, and appreciation in their tone.

"My god... Goza became a totally different beast after transforming I can't even follow his movement!"

"The Super Saiyan 4 is truly scary..."

"Go, Monkee!!"

"As expected of Goza..."

"Oh come on! Just how many transformations can the Saiyan do!?"

"Let's see... First, the Giant Monkey that we later discovered was called Oozaru, the Super Saiyan, the buff Super Saiyan Second Grade, the super buff Super Saiyan Third Grade, the Super Saiyan Full Power, the Legendary Super Saiyan, the Super Saiyan 2, the Super Saiyan 3, the Super Saiyan God, the Super Saiyan Blue, Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken, and now the Super Saiyan 4... A total of 12 transformations!"

"That's way too many!!!"

"Tch! Kakarot is clearly falling behind unable to keep up! It seems that combining the Oozaru transformation with the Super Saiyan is able to output even more power than the Super Saiyan God transformation!"

"Hohoho. There is much more to the Super Saiyan Transformation than the simple increase in power, speed, endurance, and Ki. His reaction speed and battle awareness also increased to an abnormal level. Not only that but most surprisingly..."

"That's impossible!?! Those instinctive movements and responses...! Those are almost like...!" 

With a loud roar, Goku unleashes his Ki with all his power forcefully halving his momentum just before he crashes onto the ground, then without wasting any time, his blazing orange flame-like aura turns into a vibrant, fiery, electric blue aura, while his hair spikes up and turns cyanish in color just like his eyes as he transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue. 

Immediately after transforming into a Super Saiyan Blue, Goku tries to stop his son's charge by firing a barrage of Ki Blasts but to his shock, Goza doesn't stop and simply charges through the barrage of Ki Blasts undeterred proving that such weak attacks are unable to even harm him.

Soon Goza once again closes in to his father and without giving him any time to catch his breath, he again assaults him with a rush of attack forcing Goku to fight back at close range where he is clearly at a disadvantage.

Watching this scene, Whis hums and comments, "It appears that Goza-kun's Super Saiyan 4 transformation truly awakens the more primal instincts of the user without losing the calm, clever mind. Very fascinating." followed by Piccolo who agrees and says, "Indeed, the ways Goza is currently fighting is much different from his usual style. Sure, Goza was never a tactical or refined fighter, in fact, he was closer to a brawler mostly because of the influence of his Legendary Super Saiyan transformation. But now, even if his basic tendencies remain the same, the way he is fighting is much more aggressive and unpredictable, even so, it is clear that he isn't attacking randomly without a plan."

While they are commenting, Goza launches his father in the air with a powerful kick before he places both his hands above the head with the palms facing in Goku's direction and one hand in front of the other with the fingers going in opposite directions as he gathers an insane amount of Ki. 

Then he thrusts his hands forward and calls out, "Masenko!!" firing a powerful beam of green energy that quickly flies toward Goku at the speed of light. 

Seeing the approaching energy beam, Goku doesn't hesitate to place his index and middle fingers on his forehead to help himself concentrate, before he suddenly disappears just as the energy beam is about to hit him, appearing a few meters behind Goza using Instant Transmission before he quickly takes a very recognizable stance with his cupped hands that are drawn to his side and the ever-increasing Ki is concentrated into a single point between his cupped hands in almost an instant, "Kame... Hameeee..."

Then Goku's hands are then thrust forward as he yells, "HAAAAA!" shooting out a massive, streaming, powerful beam of blue energy toward Goza at almost point-blank range, and since Goza was to invest in the Masenko he just launched, he isn't able to react in time to move out of the way and is quickly swallowed by the massive energy beam that quickly advances until it impacts against a close mountain generating a massive explosion that makes the whole mountain crumble and the rest of the planet shake.

Seeing this scene, Chi-Chi can't help but panic and loudly complain in an angry and at the same time worried tone, "Is Goku-sa crazy!? Why would he attack Goza with such heavy attack!? Does he want to kill our son!??" but Cell quickly reassure her, "Don't worry Chi-Chi-san, Goku-san knows what he is doing. While his attack is indeed a powerful one, it isn't one powerful enough to kill Goza. Moreover, Goza's Ki is still very strong and active, and Kamehameha didn't have much effect."

Indeed, shortly after Cell says that, the smoke generated by Goku's Kamehameha fades away revealing the figure of Goza whose body is enveloped in a bright green energy barrier completely unscratched.

Goza's bright green barrier fades away and it is immediately after he lets out a roar, and the barrier is then replaced by the usual gold flame-like aura that is unleashed with such force that generates a powerful shockwave that could have easily sent the weaker people of the group flying if I didn't protect them by using my Spiral Cosmo to create a barrier.

Seeing that makes Goku smile brightly before he also lets out a roar while his vibrant, fiery, electric blue aura grows in intensity and also produces a very strong shockwave.

The next moment, the two Saiyans briefly disappear from everyone else sight as they charge against on other at insane speed and start to clash before the rebounding force pushes them apart and they move to another position to clash many times, again and again, all in a single second.

Every single one of their clash produces a very powerful shockwave, each one more powerful than the previous one to the point that even the reinforced surroundings are starting to get affected with trees getting blown away and the nearby earth getting upturned.

Watching the aftereffects of their clashes, the people around me can't stop themselves from exclaiming. 

"Tch! Those two are really letting lose... they are so focused on their battle that they completely forget about their surroundings."

"My god...!"

"Wait! Didn't Jayr-kun say that to destroy or damage anything on this planet, one has to use enough power to completely wipe out an entire galaxy!? Does this mean that at the moment their battle could wipe out an entire galaxy!?"

"Hohoho. Indeed, Bulma-san. At the moment Goku-san and Goza-kun are simply enjoying their battle without caring to control their blows in such a way as to not cause damage to their surroundings."

"I envy them... It must be so liberating to go all out without the need to worry about such little things..."

"Go, Goku!" 

"Come on, Goza!"

While they are commenting on the father-son battle, the fighters clash one last time before the rebounding force of their clash pushes both dozens of meters away from one other.

At this point, both Goku and Goza take the same stance, they start by cupping their hands that are drawn to their side, and at the same time, an ever-increasing quantity of Ki is concentrated into a single point between their cupped hands in almost an instant while they call out in perfect sync, ""Kame... Hameeee...""

Their hands are then thrust forward as they yell, "HAAAAA!" shooting out a massive, streaming, powerful beam of blue energy toward each other resulting in a massive energy clash where the two energy wave techniques collide and compete to consume one another before they proceed to their targets. 

Despite being reinforced many times by my Spiral Cosmo, the clash between Goku's and Goza's Kamehamehas has a catastrophic impact on the planet.

The ground under them becomes completely upturned as the whole planet continuously shakes and even the nearby mountains start to crumble under the mighty force unleashed by the two Saiyans, slowly but surely, the planet is quickly heading toward its destruction as the result of this battle that is still considered a simple sparring match between father and son, and not a battle to the death.

For a moment the two clashing Kamehameha seem to be equal, but soon it is clear that Goza's Kamehameha is quickly gaining an advantage and thus pushing Goku's Kamehameha back making it pretty clear who is the more powerful between Goku and Goza, especially considering that the initial burst of the Super Saiyan Blue is now fading away and Goku is quickly getting weaker each passing moment.

Seeing that he is quickly losing ground, an excited smile forms on Goku's face as he comments, "Hehe... This is absolutely amazin', Goza! Your Super Saiyan 4 transformation is incredibly powerful! But...! I'm not done yet!!"

Shortly after saying that, Goku lets out a loud roar, "Kaio-ken!!" before a massive double aura emerges from Goku's body, placing a crimson Kaio-ken aura outside of a typical electric blue Super Saiyan Blue aura. 

The outer Kaio-ken aura manifests as violently fluctuating and jagged while the Super Saiyan Blue aura maintains a gentle, flame-like contour. 

At the same time, Goku's Kamehameha immediately stops losing ground and starts to gain it by pushing Goza's Kamehameha back, but suddenly stops when it reaches a middle ground between Goza and Goku as they reach a new state of balance. 

Seeing this scene, Vegeta can't help but click his tongue and comment, "Not even in his Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken is able to overpower Super Saiyan 4 Goza... Just how powerful is this Super Saiyan 4!? Could it be that this is truly the perfect state that a Saiyan can reach?" but Whis quickly hums and gives his opinion about this topic, "I'm not so sure that the Super Saiyan 4 is the most perfect state for a Saiyan... but without any doubt, it is the most fitting transformation for Goza-kun."

At the same time, Goku smirks and mutters, "If the simple Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken isn't enough... then I have to simply do more..." before he roars, "Kaio-ken x10!!"

This time, the crimson aura of the Kaio-ken enveloping Goku's body grows even more intense, and immediately after, his Kamehameha grows even more powerful and quickly starts to push back Goza's Kamehameha to the point that it seems about to overwhelm him.

Right at that moment, Goza's Ki spikes to an even more absurd level as he lets out a roar, and a red glow starts to radiate from his entire body.

At the same time, the Kamehameha that he is continuously channeling suddenly enlarges in size, power, and intensity many times to the point that Goku's Kamehameha is completely blown away in an instant leaving Goku completely open.

But just as Goza's Kamehameha is about to completely obliterate Goku, Goza lets out a loud roar and swings his extended hands upward making his energy wave suddenly change trajectory as it flies upwards missing Goku completely but obliterating a couple of nearby planets in its path in an instant.

Seeing that, Goku smiles brightly and quickly powers down to his base form before moving closer to his son, studying his figure, and exclaims, "Your power is truly amazin' Goza! I have completely lost... This Super Saiyan 4 transformation is truly incredible. But just out of curiosity, what is this red glow that emanates from your body, somethin' similar to the Kaio-ken? As soon as it appeared your power spiked to massive levels to the point that even standing close to you is actually difficult..."

Hearing that, Goza smiles back and explains, "This red glow isn't the result of a technique, but it is the next evolution of the Super Saiyan 4 form, I call it the Super Full Power Saiyan 4. For the user to achieve this state, they must accumulate a massive amount of Ki within their body to transcend the limits of an ordinary Super Saiyan 4. The form boosts the user's power to astonishing levels and greatly enhances the senses, allowing the user to react to practically any threat and the user is even able to absorb energy attacks, nullifying their damage and using the energy for their own use. When a Super Saiyan 4 attains their Full Power, their appearance does not change, but the transcended state is symbolized by this red glow radiating from the entire body." 

Shortly after saying that, Goza also powers down to his base form, and then, the father-son pair quickly joins back to our group and is greeted back by their friends and families who immediately comment excitedly.

"Goku! Goza! Your fight was amazing! Especially you, Goza. That Super Saiyan 4 is crazy!"

"That kind of power is to a level that I find difficult to even comprehend."

"The long black hair, with red fur and tail, was quite strange but I have to admit that gave Goza-kun quite a cool, wild vibe. I think that Vegeta also would look good in a Super Saiyan 4 form..."

"Goku-san, Goza-kun your spar was quite entertaining and enlightening, you two have improved a lot. You surprised me a lot Goza-kun. In Super Saiyan 4 form you are without any doubt on par or even slightly superior to the current Goku-san and Vegeta-san in their Super Saiyan Blue, but when you used that Super Full Power Saiyan 4, I felt that you would have been able to give Beerus-sama a fair fight."

At this point, Beerus snorts and complains, "Hmpf! Stop kidding, Whis. Sure the kid is very powerful in that form but he still has a lot to work on if he wants to compete with the likes of me."

In response, Whis chuckles and says, "Hohoho. I wouldn't be so confident in your shoes, Beerus-sama. For sure you have noticed how close Goza-kun's movements and reaction were to that particular state. I'm pretty sure that with a little bit more work, he could very well give us a surprise."

Hearing that, Beerus simply snorts and looks away before Whis smirks and states, "Anyway, I'm pretty confident that I can declare that Goza-kun is currently the strongest mortal in the universe." 

After that, I teleported everyone out of my Battle Universe returning back to the Victory Celebration Party where everyone ate and had fun together by playing some games, overall, it was quite a fun time. 

At one point, I also decided to treat everyone to a taste of my own cooking by making them taste one of my personal specialties, the true Italian Pizza.

Needless to say, the Pizza had a resounding success, especially among the Saiyans, Beerus, Whis, and a few others who started to worship the dish are their only true god. 

A few of them even shed tears of joy as they ate while others wondered out loud if I also had the God of Cooking as one of my Divinities.

The Victory Celebration Party lasted until late in the evening before everyone started to go back to their homes with a happy mood and full belly.

I spent the next few days after the Victory Celebration Party simply enjoying the quiet and clean air of Mount Paozu while training with Goza, Gohan, Goku, Cell, Vegeta, Nappa, and Piccolo from time to time, I also visited Whis and Beerus cooking some simple dishes for them and pass time chatting about random topics, of course, I also sparred with them and as expected, they were quite powerful, much more powerful than even Goza in his Super Full Power Saiyan 4 form, but not to the level of Zeed Millenniumon and Anti-Spiral.

After spending a few days like that, I decided that it was time to keep my promise to Zeno and visit him to spend some time with the lonely and bored physical manifestation of this Universe's Will. 

Coming to that decision, I quickly informed everyone that I was going off planet for some time to visit Zeno, most of them casually dismissed this information, while Goku wanted me to ask Zeno when he plans to start that Tournament he spoke of.

Meanwhile, Beerus was quite scared by the idea of me visiting Zeno and tried to make me change my mind, without success.

On the other hand, Whis simply used his staff to contact his father, the Grand Minister, and calmly inform him of my imminent arrival, something that I'm quite grateful for as I thought it was a bit too rude to simply arrive there without even informing the host. 

After that, I used my Cosmic Awareness to search for the location of Zeno's Palace and once I found it, I teleported there without wasting any more time.

Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Zeno's Palace - Age 779

I find myself floating in a colorful space located outside the 12 universes that make up this version of the Dragon Ball Universe, very far away from them to the point that even the Angels, as stated by Whis in the anime, it takes two whole days at full speed to do a one-way trip and four entire days for a single roundtrip, something quite impressive considering that the Angels can travel at a speed that it is many times the speed of light to the point that they can physically travel from one universe to another in a matter of minutes.

As such this space is becoming more reachable through other more instantaneous means like teleportation, such as the Kai Kai used by the Supreme Kais or the Instant Transmission of Goku.

This strange space is full of golden clouds that remind me of the Otherworld and in between them resides a huge jellyfish that is many times the size of the Earth, its hood is of a clear blue that reminds me of the sea while it tentacles are of an intense green, but without any doubt, the most interesting part is the top of its hood as it is completely flat and solid, and more importantly, it is where Zeno's Palace is built.

The palace where Zeno lives is located on the top of that huge jellyfish and it is in the shape of the kanji "全" which obviously means "all". 

Around the castle, there are twelve floating rocks that each have a Universe above them, the physical representation of the 12 universes, probably a way to watch over them more easily. 

After taking a brief look at my surroundings and at my destination, I don't waste any more time and quickly start to fly toward Zeno's Palace.

As I get closer to Zeno's Palace, I immediately notice a figure suddenly appearing in front of the entrance with a calm smile on his face very likely ready to welcome me.

I immediately recognize the figure as the Grand Minister, the father of Whis, Vados, and all the other Angels that are the attendants of the God of Destruction of the other 10 universes.

As I land on top of the flat head of the giant jellyfish, I take a closer look at the Grand Minister while calmly walking toward him.

The Grand Minister is a short male Guide Angel with sky-blue skin, white slicked-back hair, purple eyes, and thin hook-curved, eyebrows. 

He possesses what appears to be a blue-colored halo like those of his children, though it autonomously floats above him instead of hanging around his neck which makes me believe is something used to show his status or maybe even more directly it is the result of his immense power. 

The Grand Minister's apparel consists of a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, with baggy shoulder pads, that run beneath his red-colored belt with the kanji symbol for "Grand" (大). 

The shirt is complemented by a matching color pair of Jodhpur-like pants, and white boots that run beneath his shins. 

(Image Here - Grand Minister)

The Grand Minister is without any doubt the most powerful individual in the Dragon Ball Universe, in fact, from what I can perceive he is only a little bit weaker than Zeed Millenniumon which is quite impressive considering that to take Zeed Millenniumon out I had to use Tengen Toppa GunCraterGar while combining the power of Patamon, V-mon, Wormmon, and my Digimon Incarnation.

As soon as I'm close enough, the Grand Minister bows lightly and greets me, "Whis had informed us of your arrival and the news made Zeno-sama quite excited. I welcome you to Zeno-sama's Palace, Jayr-sama, the Deity who arrived from the Outside, and his loyal partner, Patamon-sama."

Hearing that, I smile and say, "Thank you." before I quickly pull out a fruit basked full of golden apple-like fruits that I prepared beforehand from my Soulbound Territory, offer it to the Grand Minister, and add, "From where I'm from, usually a guest brings some kind of gift when he visits someone's house, but since I didn't know what to bring, I decided to use something that originates from your universe."

The Grand Minister takes the offered fruit basket and tilts his head as he looks at the fruits and mutters, "These feels like the Fruits of the Divine Spiritual Tree? But these look kinda different from the ones I know of."

In response, I smile and explain, "Indeed, I got my hands on a seed of what the mortals call the Tree of Might and decided to plant it in my personal space. But since the space is saturated in my own energy and on top of that all the plant life is taken care of by a group of Nature Spirits, the seed mutated in a beneficial direction becoming much better than what it was before." 

The Grand Minister grabs one of the fruits and says, "Intriguing... From what I know these fruits are spawned by the Divine Spiritual Tree after enough energy and life force is absorbed through the tree's roots, but like a regular plant, it needs a suitable atmosphere to survive. Unfortunately, since the tree needs such, large amounts of energy to supply the fruit's growth, the tree essentially sucks the life out of the planet the seed was planted on unless the planet is a high-tier one. On top of that, usually, the fruits are light orange in color and look similar to that of the durian and lychee fruits that grow on many mortal planets. To cause the tree and fruit to mutate this much, the quality of energy must be unfathomable."

After saying that, the Grand Minister doesn't hesitate to take a bite of the fruit before he suddenly opens his eyes wide and exclaims, "Oh my...! This is quite good. In fact, it is the most delicious thing I had the pleasure of tasting. On top of that, it is also quite beneficial to the body, Ki, and even the soul. This is quite the gracious gift."
