Chapter Thirty Seven

While Eric, the strongest son of Earth, was busy fighting all of his friends at the same time elsewhere in the universe Champa, The God of Destruction and his aide Vados were having a discourse while looking for the fabled Super Dragon Balls for the upcoming Tournament of Destroyers.

"So... Vados... What did you do to my chef?"

"Hmmmm? I threw him into the Makai."

"What. The. Shit?"

"I thought you approve of his training.

You certainly seemed glad when you realized you could use him against your brother."

"I'm not saying I don't like you training him...

I'm saying I'd rather KEEP THE STUPID BASTARD ALIVE!"

"Don't worry. I wouldn't just kill the only thing that could get you to loose weight."

"Oh shut up!" The God of Destruction grumbled as they continued their flight.

However the somewhat cheerful and friendly atmosphere between them seemed to die when Champa had a serious look in his eyes.

"So... Care to explain how he got a piece of that... thing inside him?"

"I... admit I was puzzled at first. I even had to call up lord Fuwa to ask him if he knew."

"And?"

"He claims Eric made... friends with a demon-"

"Of course he fucking did. But at least that explains the stench!"

"You should be glad you have more warriors to work with, should the next Tournament of Power come."

"Oh don't even start with that shit!

We barely got through the last one and I feel like it shaved off a couple hundred years off my lifespan. But yeah... another useful perk of that... What was his species? Earthling?"

"Human sir."

"Ah, that. But I hope he realizes I'm willing to destroy any of them if they step out of line."

"I wouldn't worry about that my lord. If one thing the Humans seem to possess is common sense."

"Hmmmyes. A quality apparently much rarer than god level strength.... So back to the topic at hand-"

"Right away. So according to the Supreme Kai he somehow found where the entity has been sealed away by the Makaioshin."

"Hmph. So the guard dogs of that dunghill were not good enough to destroy it either.

Still... I only hoped they could occupy it for a while until I prepare a more... permanent solution. Since Hakai doesn't seem to be enough."

"I'm still puzzled how it could come back even after that."

"Yes... Come to think of it... didn't that blob Beerus try to smuggle into the first tournament kinda resemble it?"

"Hmmmm... I admit there are similarities...

But they appear to be nothing more than surface level. For a start it did not seem to possess the same, uncanny and limitless power the demon has. Nor did it feel like it personality-wise. Could you imagine that monster exhibiting anything else than a pure desire for destruction? Not to mention the ability to follow orders?"

"I suppose not... So Eric found the sealed thing and... ate a piece of it? Or what?"

"He wanted to just tap into its power, which a single resident of the Makai seemed to pull off. But ended up with the being inhabiting his body. Now he seems to have... some access to its energy."

Champa frowns. "Is there any chance of him loosing control of the thing?"

"Do you... order me to tell the truth?"

"Yes."

Vados sighs. "Is there a chance? Definitely."

"I thought so."

"But if it makes you feel better I trust him."

"You seem to have a lot of faith in this... mortal."

"Don't you?" The question of Vados stung Champa harder than even he realized. He did not bother to answer that. "Well he certainly earned it. The better question is... can he keep it?"

"Hmph... Whatever. But just in case things go to hell in a handbasket... prep the sword.

I'm not gonna loose a chunk of my universe again just because Eric slipped!"

"As you wish my lord."

"And let's hope we won't have to use it."

=======

It's been a good day for the Supreme Kai of Universe 6. He finally finished his little pet project and now all he has to do is await the results. So naturally Fuwa was in a good mood.... emphasis on "was".

For now he has to walk over to a secluded area he himself appointed to be reserved for this one purpose. As his aide informed him someone expects him so he stepped into the empty clearing and suddenly everything around him went dark. From within this void a singular orb of light appeared and brought illumination to the oppressive blackness.

In it a figure much worse than any shadowy figure appeared.

"Universe 6..." He spoke up.

"Fuwaaaa! Lord Cae. What a pleasant surprise." Fuwa lied. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I think we both know why I called you.

I came to ask what you think you're doing."

"Pardon?"

The Supreme Kai of Universe 11 shut his eyes. "I want to know what drove you to do such a thing... And to know where you got such a demented idea from. You do realize such a thing is highly inappropriate and conflicts with GodTube guidelines."

"Oh dear, oh dear! I have no idea what you mean Lord Cae."

"Hmph. The Supreme Kai of Universe 3 floods the site with nothing but his "Science" which is ridiculous but tolerable as it revolves around the ingenuity of mortals. Universe 2 has his "Make up tutorials" and "Beauty tips" both of which garner some attention regularly but nothing out of the ordinary. Universe 10 is a tries too hard to be "Hip" and just throws whatever he can find at the wall to see what sticks... Do you know what's the one thing common among them?"

"Fuwaaaa! I'm sorry but I don't. It's a bit early in the morning for that."

"They were and still are very invested in GodTubing for better or worse. You, however showed no interest in the matter... up until now."

"I am... sorry Lord Cae but I don't know what you are getting at.bIf I've offended you somehow I'm terribly sorry but-"

"So where did this come from? Because I refuse to believe this... demented, vile thing you just submitted somehow originated from your universe. I ask you what degeneracy you partook in to spawn such a thing?"

"So... you don't... like my... Doomslayer series?"

"Series?"

"Why... yes. It even says so in the description.

You'd know if you read it."

"Why would I- Never mind. I humbly request you that you take that video down immediately and cease with this."

"I refuse."

"Then... you leave me no choice. I shall submit a report that the content you submitted violates the terms of service and agreement.

I recommend you prepare a good enough plead for when-"

But Fuwa begins to wag his finger and whips out a stack of papers while shouting.

"OBJECTION!"

"There are no guidelines regarding what sort of content is considered "appropriate" or "acceptable" on GodTube, rendering your point meaningless! According to Lord Zenos article 13 regarding GodTube: If you don't like it don't watch it! TAKE THAT!"

"Gah! How did yo-"

"FOOL!" Fuwa points at his contemporary while his competitive side is rapidly emerging.

"I've thoroughly looked over every rule of the website to see if the Doomslayer series would be considered acceptable! And after reading through all the rules I found that there is not a single thing stopping me from doing this!

HAHA! The only thing you could do is appeal to Lord Zeno himself that you don't like my content! But that'd be a foolish mistake as if he finds it entertaining you get erased on the spot! FACE IT! I WIN!"

"Hmph... How ridiculous. You're taking it this seriously?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! It is not I that takes it seriously my fellow Kai! But you!" Fuwa points at Cae.

"Face it! You're just afraid that based on these early projections the popularity of the Doomslayer intellectual property will finally end the reign of your Pride Trooper series!"

"Oh please! You think that your little gorefest is any threat to the Pride-"

"HOLD IT!" Fuwa takes out ANOTHER sheet of completely unrelated papers. "Based on audience reactions the Pride Trooper series stopped "Being good" after Season 12.

Since then the vast majority of your viewers only stick with the series out of obligation and because nothing better is going on! You said it yourself! Your only real competition were Universe 3's trivia show and *snickers* Lord Pell wearing drag! ADMIT IT! Your beloved series is a formulaic, villain of the week tirade where 99% of the cast is meaningless and the "star" of your show is about as interesting as plain oatmeal! With the only redeeming quality being "I can't wait for Jiren to beat the badman up". FACE IT UNIVERSE 11! YOUR DAYS ON THE TOP ARE NUMBERED!

FOR IT IS THE SEASON OF THE DOOMSLAYER NOW! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!"

"You completely lost it... I can't even believe I attempted to take you seriously and resolve this in a civil manner. Have your edge-fest, it interests me not. This exchange is over..."

With that Lord Cae, Supreme Kai of Universe 11 cut the connection.
