Fortunately, this world was created by Goku himself, so it wouldn't collapse under the weight of his terrifying aura.
"Wh-what an overwhelming ki… At this level, he might actually fight that monster to a standstill!"
Sensing the power roaring from the fusion, Beerus stared wide-eyed, shock giving way to excitement.
"This power is indeed frightening—well beyond first-step True God," Whis murmured. "But although Goku is a Sovereign, the laws he's mastered are of a lower tier. His laws and his power don't yet align, so he can't break through to the next realm. Even so, given time, he could grow into a Sovereign who rivals this universe's Sovereign. The foundation is already there."
Scarlet flames of divinity billowed to the void. Goku's silhouette emerged within the radiance. Simply standing there, he radiated unbearable pressure.
His crimson hair streamed in the blaze, his frame tall and honed, his eyes cold and razor-sharp. The ground beneath his feet had sunk into a crater under the crush of his aura. Far off, the women watching could only stare, eyes gleaming, a little dazed by the sight.
Goku scanned the void, frowned, then looked to Beerus and Whis. "I'm sealing you two in my world ring for now. He's almost here."
With a flick of his hand, both vanished.
In the world he created, only the pretty girls had permanent residence. Men weren't invited.
"I'm going out. Wait for me here."
He glanced toward the distant women, gave a small nod, and disappeared from that world.
"Goku—be careful!"
Worry clouded their faces. His opponent was far too terrifying; they could only watch from afar and pray—live and die with him in spirit.
"Oh? You came out on your own."
Yuanmie stood with one hand thrust into a rent in space, eerie sigils crawling across his arm. He turned, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "I was about to tear in there to fetch you. You've saved me the trouble. Hm… and your strength has grown again."
"You claim to be the Evil of the Dimensions—the embodiment of the multiverse's malice. Tell me: was my transmigration your doing too?"
Goku's gaze was like ice.
"Of course. You think a little lightning strike sent you across worlds? You think your trifling soul could have seized Son Goku's body by itself? I helped you—while helping myself. The stronger you became, the faster you gathered energy, and the sooner I could break my seal. I am surprised, though. In only a few short years, you amassed enough power to free me… Human imagination is truly terrifying."
"Human imagination… It is terrifying—spawned countless universes, and created you as well," Goku said calmly.
"Heh. Where there is light, there must be shadow. Otherwise, the world would be dull."
"So making me a child… forcing the Shadow Dragons to appear early—that was you too?"
"Obviously. Helping you cross over cost nearly all my remaining strength, and the seal's backlash put me to sleep. As you gathered more energy, I woke—and the seal loosened. Naturally I couldn't wait, so I nudged your strongest foes to appear earlier."
"But the wish that turned me into a kid—what was the point?"
Goku's tone stayed flat.
"A whim. Maybe I wanted to slow your growth a little… which, frankly, exceeded my expectations. But your physique is too abnormal. In the end, it didn't matter."
"I see. Then we're done talking. You can die now."
Goku's face went glacial. His hair bristled, eyes like lightning. A fire roared up from his core—he'd been nothing but a chess piece on someone else's board, and the rage to shatter that game burned to the extreme. His aura flared, the killing intent almost tangible.
"Heh… Angry now? And still daring to raise your hand against me? Good. This time I'll show you what despair really is."
Demonic power surged like a black sun. A vast, crushing aura fell upon the cosmos. Space shook. One red, one black—two figures slammed together in an instant.
Boom!
The collision made the universe shudder. Webs of spatial cracks spread at astonishing speed.
"Kill!"
Goku roared. A true divine sword formed in his grip—condensed from godforce—blood-red and thrumming with power. He cleaved, and space split.
"Ant strength," Yuanmie snorted. Magic welled over his arm, runes swirling. A thread of ultimate destruction law flickered at his fist as he punched straight into the descending blade.
Goku said nothing. He poured pure annihilation intent into the divine sword, shot forward without flourish, and chopped down. Sword-qi howled, as if to carve this universe in two, and met the demon's fist head-on.
Blades of force burst and fanned out, slicing black seams through the sky.
Yuanmie's brow creased. His right hand stung; the magic cladding his palm had shattered, and the runes were scattered by that ferocious edge.
"A mere first-step True God… and you made me feel pain. Goku, I'll admit—you're impressive."
Killing intent bled from his words. His demonic qi rolled so thick the void dimmed. The mockery in his eyes receded a shade. At less than one percent of his full power, he had nonetheless felt a hint of threat.
"Hmph. Keep your compliments. Die, Yuanmie!"
Goku raised the blade high and brought it down. It wasn't just sword-qi this time—it was a world forged into a sword, brimming with law.
"Low-tier laws, and you dare show them off to me?. Allow me to show you what true law looks like."
Yuanmie spoke with cold hauteur.
Magic condensed on his fist. The law weaving over it made the air moan; black light flickered. The world fell silent—as if he alone existed. Space collapsed beneath the pressure, leaving a vast dead zone. Chaos mist roiled; space-time storms screamed.
Goku's heart lurched. From that black-lit fist, he felt death—the kind that made the soul flinch.
He couldn't delay. The enemy had finally drawn on true law—enough to erase a universe.
'Good. That's exactly what I need.'
Joy flashed through Goku's eyes. Scarlet god-flames billowed; this time he held nothing back. He drove every drop of power into the sword. His hair streamed wild as he threw back his head and roared, the sound making blood churn.
The sword thrummed with an earth-shaking resonance.
The saturation of destruction made even Yuanmie's eyes narrow. "First-step True God… yet with such power—and annihilation intent at perfection. This one cannot be allowed to live."
Murder filled him. Whatever restraint he had left vanished. He would spend everything he currently possessed to kill this prodigy—then slip away when that one descended.
Fists tightened. Fingers locked. Black light coiled. Dark-gold runes crawled over Yuanmie's hands. Demonic tides surged; the local sky powdered to dust. True destruction radiated outward in ripples. The universe trembled.
Szzz!
Goku blazed, the sword in his grip exuding cataclysm. Its edge shone like a peerless divine weapon, dripping killing will as it cut for the void.
In an instant, the sky split, a gaping black seam yawning open.
A nameless force gathered, then burst forth like a breaking dam—unstoppable, carrying an indomitable will that sheared the world in two. It was terrifying.
Yuanmie's aura swelled even higher. Demonic qi erupted; his hair fell like a black cascade. Runes turned in his eyes. A field coalesced around him—his own crushing, invincible domain. He stood like a resurrected demon god, looking down on the universe.
Boom!
He lifted his hand. Runes wove, magic boiled, lightning cracked, the air thick with death as the blow tore at the fabric of creation.
"Goku, your talent is brilliant. With time, your future would be limitless. But I won't allow your existence. In this world, there can be only one strongest."
His voice was calm and merciless, law circling his hand as if he held a miniature cosmos, radiating immortal might.
Magic surged like a reversed Milky Way, devouring everything. Electric arcs danced; sigils coiled. He struck, burning rule itself—enough to flip void with a turn of the hand.
Thunder split the dark. Goku's ki raged; lightning crawled over him. The sword in his hand now bore complete law-patterns of annihilation, and even the sigils of samsara spread like armor over his form.
Another impact—like worlds colliding.
The tidal wave of demonic power carried an even deeper ruin-law that gnawed at the sword's conjured "world," dismantling it strand by strand.
