The Legion of Ancient Gods (ch 33)

As the Z Fighters, Rozane, Beerus, and Whis faced off against the Legion of Ancient Gods on the desolate planet Nexar, tension crackled in the air like lightning. Synor, the God of Annihilation, sneered at Beerus with a condescending tone.

"Ah, Beerus, God of Destruction, always meddling in the affairs of lesser beings," Synor taunted, his dark aura pulsating with arrogance.

Goku's cheerful spirit was undeterred as he grinned. "Well, we're not exactly 'lesser beings'," he retorted, his eyes locking onto Synor with determination.

Vegeta crossed his arms, his Saiyan pride unyielding. "You'll regret underestimating us," he warned, his voice laced with confidence.

Rozane's expression remained enigmatic as he eyed the other members of the Legion. Ignis, Aqua, Aero, and Terra sneered back, each of them mocking their opponents with malicious glee.

Aero, the God of Wind, chuckled mockingly. "So this is the best they have to offer?" he jeered. "Pathetic."

Aqua, the Goddess of Water, added, "I can't wait to see the look on their faces when we wipe the floor with them."

Amidst the banter, the presence of a new god stood out. Rozane's eyes narrowed as he sensed the uncanny resemblance between himself and the newcomer. This god, known as Umbra, possessed an aura of darkness and a sinister grin that mirrored Rozane's own.

"You feel familiar," Rozane remarked, his tone tinged with suspicion.

Umbra's grin widened, his voice dripping with malevolence. "Do I now?" he replied. "Maybe it's because we're not so different after all."

Their cryptic exchange was cut short as the rules of the battle were laid out. The first round would be a tag-team match: Goku and Vegeta against the Elemental Gods – Ignis, Aqua, Aero, and Terra. Rozane's fight against Umbra would follow, and if the Z Fighters emerged victorious in their respective battles, they would face Synor, the God of Annihilation, as a united front.

Goku's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Alright, let's do this!" he exclaimed, his eagerness apparent.

Vegeta smirked. "Don't get in my way, Kakarot," he teased, eager to prove his strength.

The Elemental Gods sneered, prepared to unleash their fury. Aqua raised her hand, summoning a torrent of water, while Ignis ignited his fiery aura. Aero's winds howled around him, and Terra created pillars of earth with a mere thought.

In the next instant, the battle erupted into a dazzling display of power and technique. Goku and Vegeta faced the relentless assault of the Elemental Gods, combining their Super Saiyan Blue forms and impeccable teamwork to counter their elemental abilities.

The Elemental Gods struggled to keep up with the unyielding power of the Saiyan warriors, but Goku and Vegeta knew better than to underestimate their opponents. Ignis, Aqua, Aero, and Terra were skilled in their respective elements, and their combined might could pose a significant challenge.

Just as it seemed that Goku and Vegeta had gained the upper hand, a sudden burst of energy erupted from the Elemental Gods. Ignis, Aqua, Aero, and Terra began to fuse together, their forms intertwining as their powers merged into one.

The ground shook beneath their feet as a new being emerged, wreathed in an aura that pulsed with the essence of all elements. This formidable fusion of the Elemental Gods stood before Goku and Vegeta, radiating an overwhelming power that dwarfed their previous opponents.

Goku's eyes widened with surprise. "What is this? They fused?!" he exclaimed, recognizing the unmistakable signs of a fusion.

Vegeta's expression hardened, his battle instincts kicking in. "Be prepared, Kakarot. This won't be an easy fight," he warned.

The fused being smirked, a malevolent glint in their eyes. "Impressed, Saiyans?" they taunted. "We are now one – the God of All Elements!"

As the dust settled, Goku and Vegeta faced a new challenge, a god-like entity born from the fusion of the Elemental Gods.
