Kakaroly looked at the unconscious Beerus, his smile growing even more brilliant, revealing a row of large white teeth as he stretched his wrists. It had been a long time since he'd had such a satisfying fight!
Whis: "..."
Whis silently wiped the cold sweat from his brow, muttering to himself. Poor Lord Beerus, knocked out just like that. He's going to be furious when he wakes up.
Frieza was trembling all over, his triangular eyes filled with terror. This guy is simply not human! He actually knocked out a God of Destruction! How could he be this powerful? I should have known better than to come and watch!
Bang!
Kakaroly glanced at Frieza and suddenly waved his hand. An invisible energy wave slammed heavily into Frieza. Frieza didn't even have a chance to react before spitting out a large mouthful of blood and flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground and unable to get back up.
"Satisfying, so satisfying!" Kakaroly laughed even more brilliantly and clapped his hands. Then, he walked over to Frieza, straightened his body, and sat down on him, using Frieza as a temporary stool, even shifting around comfortably.
"Whis, when are we eating? I'm starving!" Kakaroly looked at Whis expectantly, his stomach growling again.
"Supreme Kai, do you have any suitable food here?" Whis turned to ask the Supreme Kai, who was hiding to the side, his tone gentle.
"Well... I'll look, I'll look right away!" The Supreme Kai's mouth twitched slightly as he nodded quickly, though he was wailing inside. Where would there be good food in the Sacred World of the Kai? Usually, we just eat some energy fruits.
"Planet Raodite! There's so much good food there—roasted whole beasts, energy juice, and sweet jam bread!" Kakaroly's eyes suddenly lit up as he called out to the Supreme Kai, listing dishes faster than anyone.
"Planet Raodite?" The Supreme Kai was stunned, scratching his head with a look of difficulty. "Wasn't that planet destroyed by Lord Beerus three years ago? At the time, Lord Beerus said the planet was in his way..."
"Destroyed?" Kakaroly's face instantly darkened, his excited expression vanishing without a trace. The roasted whole beast Broly wanted most was gone!
"Oh my, oh my, that is indeed the case," Whis explained with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. "When we passed that planet, it happened to be in the way of Lord Beerus going to get dessert, so Lord Beerus destroyed it himself."
Kakaroly: "..."
Supreme Kai: "..."
Old Kai: "..."
Everyone was speechless. Just because it was in the way, he destroyed a planet? The God of Destruction's temper is way too explosive!
Kakaroly grew even angrier. He suddenly lifted his buttocks and kicked Frieza underneath him. "Get up! Drag Beerus over here and put him under my butt!"
Frieza felt like dying. You want me to drag Lord Beerus over to be your stool? You're way too bold! If I actually do it, when Lord Beerus wakes up, he'll definitely destroy me personally!
Taking advantage of Kakaroly not looking, Frieza struggled to flee. However, just as Frieza took to the air, Kakaroly casually released a small energy wave.
Whoosh!
With a muffled thud, the energy wave hit Frieza's leg. Frieza screamed, traced an arc in the air, and slammed heavily into the distant ground, smoke rising from his body as he went completely still.
Kakaroly didn't bother with Frieza and made a grabbing motion toward Beerus.
Snap!
An invisible force dragged Beerus's body under his buttocks. Kakaroly sat down without hesitation, using Beerus's body as a soft stool, even swinging his legs contentedly.
"What about Planet Kaku? Planet Kaku must still be there, right?" Kakaroly asked the Supreme Kai again, his tone carrying a hint of urgency. That was Broly's backup food planet.
"Yes! Planet Kaku is still there!" The Supreme Kai nodded quickly, afraid of annoying this troublemaker. "Should I go get some food from Planet Kaku? I'll go right now!"
"I want to eat, I want to eat!" Kakaroly nodded immediately, his eyes lighting up. "I love the meat platters from their planet. Bring a bit of every kind of meat, and their fruit salad too—extra dressing!"
"Of course, of course! I'll have it prepared immediately!" The Supreme Kai quickly agreed, pulling out a communicator to contact the residents of Planet Kaku.
"Why not just go to Planet Kaku to eat? It would be fresher there!" Old Kai couldn't help but ask; he also wanted to join the fun.
"What do you know!" Kakaroly gave Old Kai a look of disdain, acting arrogant. "Dining in the Sacred World of the Kai has a sense of ceremony; it tastes better!"
Old Kai: "..."
Old Kai silently shut his mouth. Fine, you're strong, you call the shots.
"Aren't you going yet? Stop dawdling!" Kakaroly glared at the Supreme Kai, shifting his weight on Beerus, his tone full of urgency. Broly was already starving. Consequently, Goku was also hungry.
"Understood! Going right now!" The Supreme Kai nodded quickly, afraid of further annoying this troublemaker, and vanished in a flash.
Everyone waited for a full 20 minutes. The Supreme Kai finally returned, carrying over a dozen bulging energy food boxes, panting heavily with sweat on his brow.
"What took you so long? I'm about to starve to death!" Kakaroly looked unhappy, his brow furrowed, his stomach growling even louder.
"Well... after all, Planet Kaku's specialties need to be made fresh. The roast meat has to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the salad needs a fresh presentation. It really took some time." The Supreme Kai smiled apologetically and quickly handed over the food boxes.
"Fine, fine, just bring them here!" Kakaroly waved his hand.
Just as he reached out to take them, Kakaroly's body suddenly flared with white light. With a swish, he split into two, becoming Son Goku and Broly again.
"Eh? Time's up already? I haven't had enough fighting yet!" Broly scratched his head, his face full of regret, his eyes glancing at the unconscious Beerus on the ground.
"Supreme Kai, Mr. Whis, did... did our fusion do anything too out of line?" Goku looked at Beerus lying on the ground, his ears turning slightly red as he asked sheepishly. Goku vaguely remembered that after fusing, they seemed to have used the God of Destruction as a stool.
"It was alright. You just used Lord Beerus as a stool for a while; other than that, nothing much," Whis said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing. "Lord Beerus is probably going to be angry for several days when he wakes up."
Broly turned to look at Beerus lying motionless on the ground and couldn't help but grin, showing his white teeth. Immediately after, Broly wasn't polite either; he directly sat on Beerus's back and shifted around comfortably. Since the fusion had sat so comfortably, Broly wanted to try it too.
Goku: "..."
Goku silently wiped the cold sweat from his brow, muttering to himself. This guy Broly really fears nothing; he even dares to sit on the God of Destruction's body.
Afterward, Broly pulled out a picnic mat, knelt on the ground, and carefully spread it out, pulling the corners flat. Only then did he arrange the delicacies the Supreme Kai had brought one by one on the mat, setting them out as neatly as works of art.
Goku didn't have this patience; he directly swiped a plate of sizzling roast meat and sat to the side, eating happily with his mouth stuffed full. By the time Goku was almost full, Broly finally finished arranging all the food and picked up a piece of toasted bread to nibble on slowly.
"Anyway, I sense that Earth has regained its vitality. The energy is very strong. I'll go back and check first!" Goku's eyes suddenly lit up. He put down the roast meat and patted the oil off his hands.
"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here," Whis nodded, not objecting.
Swish!
Goku used Instant Transmission and appeared on the Lookout of Earth the next second. The marble floor of the Lookout was as clean as new; the traces of previous destruction had long since vanished.
Dende was watering the plants. Piccolo was leaning against a stone pillar, resting with his eyes closed. Mr. Popo was wiping the altar.
"Goku?" Piccolo suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing Goku's figure, he stood up with some surprise.
"Goku, you're here! Were Zamasu and the others defeated?" Dende also put down his watering can and ran over excitedly.
Mr. Popo also turned around and bowed slightly to Goku as a greeting.
"Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Popo, it's great! You're all back to life!" Goku stepped forward quickly, his face full of excitement. "Earth is back to normal too!"
"You... you're not the Goku of our world!" Piccolo frowned, looking closely at Goku, and suddenly realized. The Goku in front of him had a stronger aura, and the look in his eyes was different from the Goku they knew.
"Yeah, I'm the Son Goku from the past. Trunks went back to the past to explain the situation, so Vegeta and I came to help," Goku explained with a smile, his tone gentle.
"Was it you who defeated Zamasu and the others?" Piccolo asked, his eyes full of curiosity. Zamasu's immortal body had left them helpless.
"More or less. But even if I hadn't stepped in, Lord Beerus would have destroyed them personally," Goku scratched his head, speaking casually.
"Lord Beerus... he knows about this too?" Piccolo's expression shifted slightly. He had long heard of the God of Destruction's fearsome reputation.
As they spoke...
Swish!
A flash of white light, and the Goku of this world used Instant Transmission to appear on the Lookout. The two Gokus looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't this the past me? I heard you were the one who defeated Zamasu and the others? Truly remarkable!" This world's Goku stepped forward and patted the other self on the shoulder, his tone full of praise.
"Well... it was nothing, really. Just took a bit of effort," Goku laughed and waved his hand sheepishly.
Then, a sound of breaking air came as this world's Vegeta flew in rapidly and landed steadily on the Lookout. Behind him were Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and the others. After all, Zamasu's rampage had wiped them all out, and everyone wanted to see the situation.
"Thank you so much, other Goku! If it weren't for you, we'd really be finished!" Krillin was the first to step forward, standing on his tiptoes to pat Goku on the shoulder.
The others also nodded in thanks. Goku was a bit embarrassed by everyone's enthusiasm, scratching his head and laughing. "No need to thank me, it's what I should have done!"
"Where are the others from your world? Didn't Vegeta and Trunks come back with you?" Piccolo asked Son Goku, his curiosity piqued.
"Vegeta and Trunks probably went to Namek to use their Dragon Balls to bring everyone back," Goku explained. "They might be flying back to Earth right now. As for Frieza and Broly, who came with me, they're still in the Sacred World of the Kai eating."
"Frieza?"
Everyone was stunned, their faces full of surprise. That demon who once destroyed Planet Vegeta actually helped?
"Frieza has changed for the better, and he's become very strong... at least in our world," Goku quickly explained, afraid of a misunderstanding. "He's basically a comrade-in-arms now."
"Frieza has become strong? That guy really is full of surprises," the Future Goku (Old Goku) mused with deep emotion. Back then, it had taken everything he had to defeat Frieza.
"Other me, I heard from Trunks that you went to the Demon Realm and learned Super Saiyan 4 there, but it's different from the Super Saiyan 4 I transform into?" Goku looked at Old Goku, directly voicing his confusion.
"Yes, that's true," Old Goku nodded without hiding anything. With a flash of light, he transformed into Super Saiyan 4. His hair was deep red, and his body was covered in dark red fur, very similar to Trunks' previous Super Saiyan 4 form.
"Can't you stack the Super Saiyan God form on top of it?" Goku stepped forward, carefully examining Old Goku's transformation.
"No, the energy systems of the two transformations seem to conflict. Forcing them to stack would cause the body to collapse," Old Goku shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his voice.
"Is that so? If it really doesn't work, maybe give up the Demon Realm's Super Saiyan 4," Goku suggested. "It's more convenient to use the Super Saiyan 4 from the tail; you can stack the God form on that."
"I thought so too. Once this is over, I'll try to re-train," Old Goku nodded, agreeing with his other self.
Whoosh!
Just then, a streak of light descended as the flight cube landed on the Lookout at high speed, carrying Vegeta and Trunks. The two stepped out, and Trunks brushed the dust off his clothes. The moment they left, the cube automatically took off, turning into a white light that vanished into the starry sky.
"Eh? Where did the flight cube go? Why did it fly away?" Trunks was stunned, looking up.
"Whis probably took it back; it was his to begin with," Goku guessed.
"Then I'm relieved. I thought it malfunctioned," Trunks sighed, patting his chest.
"Vegeta, your tail grew back!" Goku's gaze was drawn to the tail behind Vegeta. "Did you wish for it with the Namekian Dragon?"
"Hmph," Vegeta snorted and turned his head away, which was a tacit admission. His tail flicked slightly.
"But wait, after your tail was cut off, why didn't it grow back on its own for so long?" Goku asked curiously. Don't Saiyan tails have regenerative abilities?
"It seemed to be sealed by something!" Vegeta gritted his teeth, sounding annoyed.
"I remember now!" Piccolo spoke up, a flash of memory in his eyes. "When you and Nappa first came to Earth, as the Guardian, I specifically placed a seal on Yajirobe's blade to completely cut off the Saiyan tail's regenerative ability. That's when your tail was cut off, right?"
"You... what did you say? It was your doing!" Vegeta's anger flared instantly. He glared at Piccolo, a faint aura rising around him. No wonder his tail never grew back; he had been sabotaged!
"Wait, Vegeta," Goku quickly held him back, laughing. "Piccolo is talking about the Vegeta of this world. It has nothing to do with the Vegeta of our world. Don't get it mixed up."
Vegeta thought about it and realized he was right. He snorted and said no more, though his expression remained sour.
"Actually, your tail was also secretly sealed by the Guardian of our world back then, for fear that you'd cause trouble in your Great Ape form," Goku added with a hint of helplessness.
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's face darkened, the veins on his forehead throbbing. So the Guardians of both worlds had it out for my tail? But since it was decades ago and his tail was back now, he didn't pursue it further, though he gave Piccolo a sharp glare, taking his frustration out on this world's Piccolo.
"Kakarot, I thought stacking Super Saiyan God on Super Saiyan 4 would be hard, but it's actually quite simple," Vegeta suddenly snorted with a hint of pride. His aura surged, red fur rapidly covering his body, and his tail stood high. He entered Super Saiyan 4.
Snap!
The next moment, red divine flames burned around him. His deep red hair took on a golden tint, and his aura exploded several times over. Super Saiyan 4 stacked with Super Saiyan God!
"As expected of Vegeta, to master the stacking of these two abilities so quickly!" Goku gave a thumbs-up, sincerely praising him.
"Hmph, I don't need your praise!" Vegeta turned away, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Once I master stacking Ultra Ego on Super Saiyan 4, I definitely won't lose to you!"
Goku scratched his head, looking at Vegeta's transformation. Something felt off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
A brief silence.
Trunks leaned in and whispered to Vegeta, "Dad, Mr. Goku is using Ultra Instinct Sign stacked on Super Saiyan 5. You're only using Ultra Ego on Super Saiyan 4... it seems a bit lacking."
"Shut up! I know that!" Vegeta's face darkened as he glared at Trunks.
But Goku heard it and laughed. "Trunks is right! That's exactly what I was thinking! Your form still seems a bit weaker than mine."
"Kakarot, are you mistaken about something?" Vegeta turned around, a confident smile on his face. "Without transforming into Super Saiyan 4 or 5, your Ultra Instinct Sign is at most at the level of my Super Saiyan Blue Evolved—maybe a tiny bit stronger. And your silver-haired Ultra Instinct is only about equal to my Ultra Ego! So, even if I'm using Super Saiyan 4 stacked with Ultra Ego, it will definitely be stronger than your Super Saiyan 7!"
"What you're saying... actually makes sense!" Goku nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his chin, actually convinced by Vegeta's logic.
The Future Vegeta (Old Vegeta), Old Goku, Krillin, and the others all stared with wide eyes, their ears perked up, their faces full of disbelief. Super Saiyan 7? That's way too strong!
"Since things here are settled, it's time we returned to our own world," Vegeta suggested, powering down.
"Broly is still eating in the Sacred World of the Kai... to be honest, the food there is just okay," Goku rubbed his stomach and grinned at Old Vegeta. "How about we have a good meal at your place? Bulma's cooking is the best!"
"Hmph, fine. Consider it a celebration for the end of the crisis," Vegeta nodded. It wasn't the first time Goku had mooched a meal.
Old Vegeta: "..."
Old Vegeta stood to the side, his mouth twitching. That's my house, not yours! Even if we're the same person, we're from different worlds! But looking at the man who looked exactly like him, Old Vegeta ultimately said nothing and just nodded in agreement.
Afterward, everyone went to the Capsule Corp headquarters. Bulma had already received the news and prepared a feast. Before that, Old Goku went home to pick up Chi-Chi and Goten. It's worth noting that the Old Goku and Chi-Chi of this world later had another son, also named Goten, who looked exactly like the past Goten.
"Didn't Gohan come along?" Chi-Chi asked as soon as she arrived, looking around with worry. "Is he okay?"
"He didn't come; he's still training. I'll have him come visit you when he has time," Goku explained.
After the meal, Goku and Vegeta stood up and cupped their hands to everyone. "We'll be heading back now. We'll come visit again when we have time!"
"Take care!" Old Goku, Old Vegeta, and the others waved goodbye.
