74 Meeting of the Gods Part 4

"Wow! All of them are so strong! How did Kibo keep them from us?" Goku said, getting itchy for a fight. 

"Hmph!" Vegeta grunted while thinking, "Is that Dante and Virgil. They looked like they were ripped from Devil May Cry 3."

"Holy crap!" Champa shouted as he sensed their powers competing with their own.

"Hey, It's a party of godly proportions! Let's have some fun!" Dante shouted as he pointed his sword at the Fox God of Destruction.

"Why do you have to say such dumb things? Can't you be more refined? I'll take the clown. I really don't like clowns," Virgil said with a dull expression as he drew Yamato.

"So these are Gods in another universe? I'm not impressed," Suzaku chirped.

"You have chosen to challenge the Dragon King! A foolish endeavor," Seiryu hummed.

"Death surrounds you all, but I can overcome such infantile destructive laws," Genbu declared as she glared at the God's of destruction.

"Hahahaha! LET'S FIGHT!" Byakko shouted as he showed his fangs.

"I'll handle the fox, I have a bone to pick with your species," The World Bear Shiro growled.

"What did I do?" The foxy God of Destruction questioned, unaware that Shiro had to deal with Kurama stealing his snacks and was just picking on him because he was a Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Master Kibo, should we kill them?" Fenrir said with bloodshot eyes.

"No. We aim to render these guys unconscious. Okay, team! Get 'em!" Kibo shouted as he pulled out his sword and jumped headfirst into battle.

The Gods of Destruction responded in kind.

The fight was beyond intense. The actions of the gods were so fast that they warped the space around them in cataclysmic explosions.

"I can't keep up with them!" Goku shouted as his eyes darted around in a frenzy.

"Incredible!" Vegeta thought as, he too, found himself at a loss.

"I can't see them. This is boring!" The two Zenos' said with an upset tone.

The Grand Priest nodded his head before shouting, "That's enough! Stop the fight."

Everyone paused in awkward positions.

Beerus had his foot against Chi Wu Kong's face, while Chi Wu Kong's fist was pushed a few inches into Beerus' ribs.

Kibo had Belmond in a headlock with his sword at his neck while Belmond had a beam powered up next to Kibo's face.

Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku, and Genbu surround four of the Gods of destruction, Heles, Mosco, Rumsshi, Arak.

Oro, Fenrir, and Shiro encircled the Nine Tails God of Destruction.

Dante was pointing Rebellion towards the mouse's neck while Virgil had Yamato on his spine.

They broke apart from one another and were healed by the Angels.

Zeno chatted with the Grand Priest before the father of all the Angels sighed and said, "We may have to cancel the Tournament."

Goku looked dismayed as he teleported over to Zeno's side and said, "Please don't do the Zeno-Chan! Their fight might have been hard to see, but I promise ours will be different."

The two Zenos' pondered over the suggestion before nodding their heads and saying, "Okay!"

"Excellent! Well, Goku. I assume you'll be fighting for this demonstration, then?" The Grand Priest asked.

Goku nodded his head in excitement.

"Belmond, you pick a fighter for Goku to compete with," The Grand Priest ordered.

Belmond chuckled before he bowed and said, "Yes, my Lord. Toppo, get out there!"

Toppo nodded his head and pulled his coat off to reveal the burly bear-like alien man. His body was broad and stocky, but all made of muscle. He had long, bulky arms, stubby legs, tan skin, and a white mustache.

His head was oval-shaped, and his eyes burned with a sense of responsibility that the others had rarely seen in their lives.

Goku jumped onto the stage and held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Goku!"

"I know, you are the one responsible for the risk our Universe is currently experiencing," Toppo replied.

"About that, you said we should be thanking Goku earlier! Why?" Beerus shouted at Kibo.

"Yeah, that's right! Hurry up and spill it!" Champa followed up.

"Oh, yeah! I forgot. If Goku didn't start this tournament, then Zeno-Sama would've destroyed all Universes which lack the standard Mortal Level. So, Goku technically gave one of your Universes a chance at survival," Kibo explained.

"So, Kakarot deserves some thanks in this matter. If not for him, you all would have been destroyed without realizing," Vegeta followed up.

Everyone looked to Kibo then to the Grand Priest for confirmation.

"It's true. Zeno is unhappy with your progress. Many of the Universes have begun to stagnate, and Lord Zeno deemed it necessary to destroy them." The Grand Priest announced with a smile on his face.

The Gods of Destruction paled at the thought of Zeno's wrath.

"For real?" Champa said with wide eyes.

"Oh, crap! He's not joking," Beerus said with a terrified expression.

"This winner won't be the only one to survive. Universes One, Twelve, Five, and Eight will be allowed to live as well," The Grand Priest announced.

"But...why?" The Goddess of Destruction said with a confused expression.

"Because their mortal levels are above 7. Therefore, the Universes have met the required cutoff will be exempt from being destroyed."

"Phew! Good thing we took our job seriously." The God of Destruction from Universe Eight sighed in relief.

"Excuse me, sir! If our Universe gets destroyed, what will happen to us, Gods of Destruction?" The Elephant God asked.

"Why, all of the Gods will be destroyed alongside them, of course," The Grand Priest replied.

"It appears we do owe Goku thanks. Because of this tournament, Zeno is giving the winning Universe a chance at surviving. Regardless of our Mortal Level," Whis said with a chipper expression.

"Say Whis, is our Mortal Level really that bad?" Beerus questioned.

"Yep! However, with Vegeta's rise to power, it has risen by 2 points!"

"That means?" Beerus looked like he had some hope.

"We have a Mortal Level of 5.8 now! Congratulations, Lord Beerus, such quick improvement is rarely seen in the 12 Universes," Whis replied before he looked over to Champa and said, "Tied with your brother."

"So we're still not safe," Beerus sighed with a look of dejection.

"Hahaha! That's what you get for letting Frieza run amuck!" Kibo said while he slapped his leg.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean," Beerus said with a lifted brow.

Kibo pulled out a small bonsai tree and stripped it bare before saying, "This was your Universe before life began."

Using a bit of his Godly energy, Kibo grew it a bit and when tiny leaves could be spotted he said, "This was your universe in its infancy,"

He then pointed to a section on the tree, set it ablaze, and said, "This is your Universe on Frieza."

Beerus lifted a brow and scoffed, "Why? He was doing my job for me! Shouldn't my mortal level be rising?"

"Did you think that Tyrant would let any life grow and evolve if it posed a challenge to him?" Vegeta scoffed.

Beerus noticed a small part of the tree that grew back and wouldn't burn before asking, "What's that bit there?"

"That little spot there? That's Vegeta's effort paying off," Kibo replied with an amused expression.

"Wow, Beerus. Our Universe is burning because of your sleepy attitude! Poor tree!" Goku said with a sorrowful expression.

Beerus' face was bright red. The other Gods stared at Goku and nodded their heads. It appeared that the other Gods of Destruction also had issues with Beerus' don't care attitude.

Kibo smiled and made a few hand signs before blowing Azure Flames from his mouth. The wood-based fire soaked into the bonsai's bark and turned it into a jade-like substance.

Handing the tree alongside an orange Spatial Ring over to Goku, Kibo placed the Jade Bonsai into the hammerspace and said, "Plant that near your house. It will be beneficial to your training. The ring can store up to a planet's worth of space."

Goku's eyes shined as he thought of all the food he could store in it. After taking the ring and putting it on, Goku jumped down to the arena to face Toppo.

"Quite the interesting friend you have there. He's not a God of Destruction, but the Angels treat him with the same respect," Toppo commented.

"Yeah, he's a God from another reality. After his recent boost in power, I'm guessing he's on par with them now," Goku replied.

"Hmm, well then, shall we get this show underway?" Toppo asked as he took a fighting stance.

Goku smiled and took his own before saying, "I thought you'd never ask!"

Goku turned into a blur as he appeared in front of Toppo and punched out with all his might.

Toppo raised his arm and blocked the punch before Goku raised his foot with a fierce kick towards Toppo's face.

Toppo jumped back and avoided the attack.

Goku chased after before their arms and legs turned into blurs while they punched and kicked out at one another.

Each move was blocked and evaded with expertise, showing both of the warriors had countless years of experience under their belts.

"Impressive strength, but it's not enough if you want to deal with me!" Toppo declared as he elbowed the inside of Goku's wrist and punched out with his other hand.

Goku took the full force of the blow and bounced off the ground a few times before catching his balance.

As he hopped onto his feet in an acrobatic maneuver, Goku got back into his stance and said, "Well...that hurt! You are strong!"

Goku noticed a thin trail of blood leaking from his nose.

"Okay, how about this!" Goku said as he shouted and transformed into a Super Saiyan.

His power multiplied by seventy-five and sent shockwaves across the arena. Goku then lunged back towards Toppo and unleashed another flurry of blows.

Punch after punch, kick after kick, Toppo continued to dodge Goku's attacks with ease, surprising Goku as he stopped and said, "Wow, I can't believe there's such a huge gap in our strength!"

"What's the point of all these weak attacks? Come at me with all your strength!" Toppo shouted in anger.

"Oh, Goku changed! He's all glowy now!" Future Zeno commented.

"That's because Goku fights by Transforming!" Zeno replied.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Future Zeno said with sparkles in his eyes.

"He's going to transform even further!" Zeno spoke with excitement.

"Really?! How many more times?" Future Zeno asked.

Zeno thought for a second and started to count on his fingers. Noticing this, the Grand Priest floated over near Whis and asked, "Whis! How many transformations can Goku perform?"

Whis smiled and immediately answered, "Let's see...They have Super Saiyan one through four, Base Oozaru, Gold Oozaru, Super Oozaru, True Saiyan God Red, True Super Saiyan God Blue, True Super Saiyan God Green, and True Super Saiyan God God Orange. So, eleven forms currently."

"Wow! There's 11!" Zeno said with a look of surprise.

"I want to see them all!" Future Zeno followed up.

"Goku!" Whis called out, interrupting the fight.

"Huh?" Goku said as he stopped his punch mid-swing.

"Zeno-Sama wishes to see all of your transformations. Would you kindly perform them in the presence of his majesty?" Whis asked.

"Uh, sure!?" Goku replied.

"You? You were hiding ten more transformations?" Toppo shouted in anger.

"I wasn't planning on showing them. But what the heck!" Goku answered as he started to power up.

"This is Mastered Super Saiyan 2!" Goku announced as his power multiplied by 150.

"Hmm," Future Zeno tilted his head and said, "Goku doesn't really look that different!"

Beerus looked scared and was about to shout for Goku to hurry up when Kibo stepped in and said, "There is lightning surrounding his Ki now, and the hairstyle changed slightly. But don't worry, he's not done yet."

Goku then continued to power up and showed his Mastered SS3 Form.

"Ohh! Goku looks a little scary now!" The Zenos cheered as they looked on.

Goku's Ki was gushing out with 600 Times his base power. Toppo frowned as he felt the waves of golden energy ripple off his flesh.

Goku jumped back into battle to test his strength and started to punch and kick away. Toppo, however, continued to dodge with ease.

"Impressive, but is this all Universe 7 has to offer. I'm afraid it's time I get serious too!" Toppo declared as he rushed past Goku's defenses and slugged him in the face.

"Wow! Big and Fast! Gotta be careful with you!" Goku said as he shouted and transformed into the True version of Super Saiyan 4.

His hair returned to its base style, and his Ki turned into Golden Flames.
