Chapter 116 - 116
Beerus was truly helpless now.
He, a God of Destruction, actually had a day where he couldn't keep up with the "current version" anymore!
Although his own power had fallen behind, his eye for battle was still sharp! With just one glance, he could see the gulf between their forces.
Whis gave a slight nod.
"Yes, Beerus."
Whis looked up at the sky, glanced around, and then concluded:
"Obviously our side is strong, but overall… still weaker than theirs!"
Beerus clenched his fists, gritting his teeth without speaking.
He just couldn't understand it. How could those guys be that strong?!
He, Beerus, had trained for tens of millions of years, yet he wasn't nearly this powerful.
Beerus turned to Whis.
"Whis, what about the other universes?"
Whis' face grew grim, his voice steady:
"They're in the same situation as us. Each has suffered attacks to varying degrees… but none are as troublesome as here!"
"Their Gods of Destruction can still handle things."
Whis paused, then added:
"But according to Marcarita, their side is still quite tricky too."
Beerus' expression darkened.
"Where on earth did these guys even come from?"
Whis shook his head.
"I don't know…"
On the side, Krillin and the Earth warriors were watching with fear in their hearts.
If they had known it would be this terrifying, they never would have come!
Was this really a battle between "people" anymore?
Piccolo clenched his fists, his face ugly.
"Once again… I can't be of any use!"
The bitterness gnawed at him. Too weak. Utterly weak!
He even felt envious of the Saiyans now… breaking through bottlenecks so easily, becoming stronger in the blink of an eye.
But him? A Namekian.
Every slightly bigger battle was a fight for life and death!
If he counted carefully… ever since the Android Saga, he had already been left behind by too much.
The thought of it gave him a headache. He muttered quietly:
"Why didn't the ancestors of Namek develop some real ability… at least leave us something like the Saiyans had?!"
Krillin's ears twitched, and he turned toward Piccolo.
"Piccolo, what do you mean? Namekians aren't enough for you?"
Krillin snorted.
"We Earthlings are the real losers here. We can't keep up with anything!"
Piccolo didn't answer.
Since talent couldn't match up, maybe technology could…
Or maybe—why not ask Shenron for a wish?
Piccolo's eyes snapped wide open. He understood!
Blind training only made clowns out of them. True progress required a shortcut.
As the battle escalated, everyone nervously watched the light-screen projection Whis had conjured, not daring to miss a single detail.
Suddenly—
A few figures appeared beside Whis, Beerus, and the Earthlings.
Everyone turned at once.
"Aishi!"
"Big sis?"
"Wait, there's two of them?"
"Vegito!!!"
Everyone froze the moment they saw who had come.
What was going on here?!
Whis locked onto the two angels standing behind Aishi, then looked back at Aishi himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Unbelievable.
His two elder sisters… just like that, taken by him?
Whis wanted to say something, but he knew well that "disaster comes from careless words." He wisely stayed silent.
Still, he had to greet them properly.
So Whis smiled gently.
"Elder sisters."
Vados gave a small nod. Kus, however, narrowed her eyes as she examined Whis.
"Whis, what's wrong with you?"
Whis' heart skipped a beat, a flicker of shock flashing in his eyes, but in the very next second he returned to his usual calm.
"Nothing at all."
Kus gave a slight nod, her tone cold.
"Best if that's true."
Whis: "…"
Beerus first greeted Aishi, then turned to Vegito.
The instant he focused on him, his expression changed.
The pressure this person gave him was immense!
Meanwhile, the Earthlings also rushed forward to greet Aishi.
For Krillin and the others, their long-standing fear and anxiety instantly vanished when they saw him.
The sense of security Aishi gave them was simply overwhelming.
Among the crowd, two familiar figures hurried over—
No. 18 and No. 21!
The moment they saw Aishi, both broke into radiant smiles.
Aishi opened his arms, pulling the two into his embrace.
No. 18 leaned against him, taking a deep breath before tilting her head up, her eyes locked on his.
"For now I won't make trouble for you… but once we get home, you're finished!!!"
Aishi chuckled, not denying it.
No. 18 gave a cold snort and pinched him hard in the waist with her jade-like fingers.
Aishi: "…"
No. 21 leaned close, her hot breath brushing his ear, her tone chilly.
"Master… I hope you've stocked enough rations!"
Rations…
Aishi smiled.
"Let's talk business first."
No. 21 pouted.
"This isn't business?"
Aishi pinched her cheek, making her let out a soft sound.
"Be good."
Only then did No. 21 reluctantly let go of him, withdrawing her arms.
Aishi smiled.
"Where's Tais?"
No. 21's voice was crisp, though she sounded annoyed.
"She went into space! All because you wouldn't come back!"
Aishi nodded slightly.
"I see."
At the side, Kus and Vados said nothing.
Kus was seething—she hadn't expected Aishi to already have a household.
Vados, on the other hand, wasn't surprised. She had known for a long time that Aishi had wives.
Vegito stepped forward, staring at the skies with interest. Then he looked back at Aishi.
"Aishi, these guys… they're the Demon Realm Army?"
Aishi also looked up at the fierce battle above, nodding lightly.
"Yes."
Vegito swept his gaze across the sky, first stopping on Son Goku and the Masked Man, chuckling.
"Your Goku here is pretty strong. But that masked one is no pushover either… His killing intent is solidified, his power grows through slaughter. His strikes are all meant to kill. If they keep fighting, Goku might be in trouble."
Aishi nodded.
"The gap in base power is too big."
Vegito agreed.
"Indeed."
Then his eyes moved to the others.
"Is that Broly? What monstrous ki… And Gohan—what transformation is that? And that one who looks just like Vegeta, who's he?"
Vegito took in every detail, astonished.
Finally, he turned back to Aishi.
"This timeline of yours really is bizarre. So many strong fighters…!"
Aishi only smiled.
"Something like that…"
But suddenly—
A voice boomed across the battlefield, shaking the soul, filled with crushing malice.
"Aishi… you finally came!!!"
From the chaotic skies, a towering figure slowly emerged, his presence overwhelming.
Demonic godly flames engulfed the Earth.
Demigra!!!
His aura erupted, terrifying magic power flooding the battlefield like the apocalypse itself.
The entire fight screeched to a halt as every warrior turned their eyes to the sky.
Even Goku, the Masked Man, and the others all stopped, shifting their focus toward Aishi and Demigra.
Aishi's eyes narrowed.
"You broke through already?"
It hadn't even been a week since their last encounter.
Yet Demigra had grown this much stronger?
Last time he was beaten bloody and forced to flee under Aishi's Super Saiyan Blue. At best, he had only reached the 12th Dimension – Lower Tier, roughly equal to an apprentice angel's first stage.
Now, he had already reached the 12th Dimension – Mid Tier!
A tiny step at that level, but enough to prove how heaven-defying his growth was.
Demigra laughed maniacally, his expression twisted.
"Surprised, aren't you?"
"Want to know why?"
Everyone's faces hardened instantly.
Even though he was from the Demon Realm, when it came to methods of power growth, who wouldn't be curious?
But Aishi only shook his head.
"Not interested."
"You—what…?"
Demigra froze mid-sentence, staring in shock.
"What did you just say?"
Aishi said flatly:
"Isn't it obvious? You're just collecting energy from powerful warriors across timelines, right?"
Demigra: "…"
He glared.
"You… you know!?"
Aishi smirked.
"Not only do I know, I also know your next move is to gather Dark Energy, isn't it?"
Dark Energy!
That was an exceedingly rare power.
Condensed by Mechikabura, Emperor of the Dark Demon Realm himself. Whoever controlled it would undergo a complete metamorphosis.
Demigra's face twisted.
"How do you know this!?"
Aishi gave him a look.
"You made such a big spectacle, spreading across the universes… are you trying to hide it from anyone?"
Demigra's expression shifted uncertainly, then steadied, and he sneered.
"Fine. I'll tell you the truth. Yes, I'm collecting Dark Energy… but there's more!"
"More?!"
Everyone's faces sank. Even Beerus felt an ominous premonition.
"What!?"
Demigra's laugh echoed across the skies.
"To plant the Seed of the Universe!!!"
The Seed of the Universe!?
At those words, every face in the crowd paled.
Goku turned to Whis.
"Whis, what's the Seed of the Universe?"
Vegeta and the others also looked over.
They honestly had no idea.
Whis frowned deeply.
"I'm… not too certain."
Everyone's eyes fell on Aishi.
But he said nothing.
The Seed of the Universe.
Once planted, it would begin madly devouring all the energy of the timeline's universes.
Planets. People. Energy itself.
All drained dry.
Until it matured into the Universe Tree—capable of creating an entirely new universe.
