Next, you could depict Lin Ye using the newly learned "Divine Sealing Technique" in conjunction with his companions' power to fight against the Chaos Monster. You could also introduce new variables into the battle, such as the Chaos Monster suddenly releasing even stronger chaotic energy, or the space around the God of Destruction becoming more unstable due to the battle. Which direction would you like to continue creating in?
Chapter 447: The Power of Two Gods
The roar of the chaotic monster shook the surface of Planet Destroyer violently, spewing scorching magma from the cracked rock layers, only to freeze into ice pillars the instant it touched the black mist surrounding the monster. Its massive black tentacles, as thick as buckets, thrashed wildly as if alive, each swing tearing through space to reveal the distorted nebula behind them. The remnant soul of Kronos flickered within the monster's body, its chilling laughter piercing the black mist: "Lin Ye, I didn't expect you could actually persuade Beerus to attack. But do you think you can win like this? I will use your bones as sacrifices for my shattered body!"
Beerus hovered in mid-air, the black destructive energy surrounding him causing ripples in the surrounding space. He glanced at Lin Ye beside him, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Kid, you're lucky this time. If you dared to disturb my afternoon nap, even if we teamed up to take care of this thing, I'd still throw you into a spacetime rift to reflect on your actions."
"Enough with the nonsense." Lin Ye's body erupted with dazzling golden flames, suppressing the restless divine power within his dantian, leaving only controllable combat energy flowing through his meridians. "Let's deal with this piece of trash first, then we'll talk about other things." He raised his hand and condensed a golden light blade, the shimmering light on its edge forming a strange balance with Beerus's destructive energy.
"Well done!" Beerus transformed into a black lightning bolt and charged straight at the monster. The destructive energy gathered in his palm instantly transformed into an energy blade over ten feet long, slashing fiercely at the thickest tentacle. The moment the black energy collided with the chaotic black mist, a blinding white light illuminated the entire planet of Destruction as if it were daytime, and the shockwave unleashed a rain of debris that blotted out the sky.
"Useless!" The remnant soul of Cronus let out a maniacal laugh, dozens of tentacles gushing out from the monster's body, coiling around Beerus's limbs like venomous snakes. "Your destructive energy has no effect on the power of chaos! It will only become nourishment for me!"
Beerus's expression changed drastically. He could clearly feel the destructive energy within his body being rapidly drawn out by the tentacles, transforming into black threads that flowed into the monster's body. What frustrated him even more was that these tentacles were like chewing gum, impossible to shake off; the more he struggled, the tighter they clung. "Damn it! This thing's energy properties don't obey the laws of the universe at all!"
"I'll help you!" Upon seeing this, Lin Ye leaped into the air, the fragment of creation on his chest emitting a soft golden light, condensing into a carved spear. He used the force of his fall to slash down fiercely, the golden spear blade precisely severing the tentacle that was wrapped around Beerus's right arm, the black mist at the cut surface sizzling like oil meeting a raging fire.
"Thanks." Beerus took the opportunity to break free of his restraints, retreated to Lin Ye's side to catch his breath, and black energy re-condensed in his palm. "This monster's core is hidden very deep; ordinary attacks can't hurt it at all."
“I know.” Lin Ye stared at the black mist that was constantly writhing on the monster’s chest, where the energy fluctuations were several times stronger than in other parts. “The remnant soul of Kronos is inside. As long as we can pierce through the outer layer of the Chaos Barrier, we can completely eliminate it.”
Just then, two figures burst through the dust and arrived. Number 18's mechanical arm unfolded into a multi-barreled cannon, unleashing a barrage of energy projectiles at the monster's tentacles: "Lin Ye! We've arrived to support you! Bulma has analyzed its energy flow pattern!"
Trunks followed closely behind, his Time Sword glowing with a pale blue light as he severed an incoming tentacle with a single strike: "Mom said that while this monster's chaotic energy can devour attacks, it's weak against time-attribute power! I'll restrain its movements, and you guys take the opportunity to attack its core!"
"Well done!" Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he winked at Beerus. "Old fox, it's time to show your true skills!"
Beerus snorted coldly, and the destructive energy around him suddenly surged threefold, forming a massive energy vortex of black flames: "Watch closely! This is the true power of a God of Destruction!" He formed hand seals, and black energy condensed in front of him into a gigantic fist that blotted out the sky, "Shatter!"
The moment the giant fist slammed into the monster's chest, Lin Ye launched his attack simultaneously. He pushed his golden flames to their limit, and the Creation Spear transformed into a streak of light, taking advantage of the gap created by Beerus's attack to pierce straight towards the weakest point of the Chaos Barrier.
"No...!" Kronos's remnant soul roared in despair, frantically mobilizing chaotic energy to block. Trunks had already anticipated his move; the Time Sword swept out, the blue sword energy carving a gash in the monster's chest, forcefully slowing the flow of chaotic energy. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Number 18 launched specially made energy blasts. Those warheads, containing electromagnetic pulses, exploded upon contact with the black mist, causing a brief disruption to the chaotic barrier.
"Now!" Lin Ye seized this critical opportunity and plunged the Genesis Spear into the monster's core. Golden light erupted instantly, tearing a huge gash in the monster's chest, exposing the remnant soul of Kronos to the air, which let out a shrill scream.
"Disappear completely!" Lin Ye and Beerus simultaneously unleashed their energy, golden battle energy and black destructive energy intertwining into a spiraling torrent that devoured the remnant soul of Chronos like a dragon. The shockwave generated by the energy impact ripped the surface of Planet Destroyer several meters away, forcing even Whis, far beyond the atmosphere, to deploy a protective barrier.
As the light faded, the chaotic monster's corpse disintegrated into countless black fragments, vanishing into the universe. Lin Ye collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted, his golden aura dimming instantly, gasping for breath. Beerus fared no better; the excessive destructive energy drained his face, leaving him pale, yet he still forced himself to maintain his posture.
"Hey, kid." Beerus walked up to Lin Ye, unusually refraining from mockery, and instead revealing a hint of approval in his smile. "That move you just used was quite well coordinated. With your talent, it won't be long before you reach the level of a God of Destruction. How about it, want to become my apprentice?"
Lin Ye waved his hand and struggled to his feet: "No thanks. I have no interest in the position of God of Destruction. I just want to protect the people around me." He looked at Android 18 and Trunks, who were checking the equipment in the distance, his eyes full of tenderness.
Beerus paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Interesting brat. Fine, I respect your choice. But if you ever change your mind, you can come find me anytime." He waved his hand, and the rubble on the ground instantly returned to its original position, as if the fierce battle had never happened.
Just then, Whis suddenly appeared in front of everyone with a standard smile on his face: "Lord Beerus, Mr. Lin Ye, the Omni-King has sent me to inform you to proceed to the Omni-King's Palace immediately."
"The Omni-King summoned us?" Lin Ye and Beerus frowned simultaneously, exchanging a puzzled look. Beerus stroked his chin: "That old guy usually just plays games and eats snacks. If he suddenly summons us, it can't be anything good."
“I don’t know the specific reason either,” Whis shrugged. “But Lord Omni-King said that there is an important announcement regarding the safety of the multiverse.”
Lin Ye stretched his aching muscles, and the golden flames flickered faintly once more: "Whatever it is, we'll find out when we get there." He turned to Android 18 and Trunks, "You two go back to Earth first and tell Bulma about the situation here. I'll go back as soon as I've dealt with things."
"Be careful," Android 18 cautioned, retracting the robotic arm into its normal form. "The Omni-King's temper is unpredictable; don't offend him."
Trunks nodded in agreement: "If there's any danger, remember to contact us with this." He tossed Lin Ye a palm-sized communicator, which was flashing with Bulma's signature energy fluctuations.
Lin Ye took the communicator and put it in his pocket, then followed Beerus and Whis towards the teleportation portal. The moment the teleportation light enveloped his body, he suddenly remembered the look in Kronos's eyes before he disappeared, and he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
The Omni-King's palace remained as magnificent as ever, with the two Omni-Kings sitting on their floating thrones, playing with building blocks. Upon seeing Lin Ye and Beerus enter, the Omni-King on the left immediately dropped his blocks, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Beerus! Lin Ye! You've finally arrived!"
The Omni-King on the right nodded in agreement and handed over a plate of colorful candies: "Have some candy! It's very sweet!"
Beerus suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning us?"
"It wasn't me who came looking for you," the Omni-King on the left pointed to the void behind him. "It was he who wanted to see you."
As his words fell, the space in the center of the palace suddenly distorted, and a figure draped in white robes slowly emerged. The person's face was blurred, and the energy surrounding him made even Beerus feel a chill. Lin Ye's pupils shrank even more, because he sensed an aura from the other person that was of the same origin as the fragments of creation.
"We've finally met, Lin Ye." The white-robed man's voice, like a booming bell, echoed throughout the palace. "I am the Dragon God Salama, the creator of the Super Dragon Balls. I've summoned you here because the multiverse is about to face an unprecedented crisis."
"Dragon God Zalama?" Beerus's expression instantly turned serious. "Didn't you disappear after creating the Super Dragon Balls? What exactly is this so-called crisis?"
Salama didn't answer directly, but instead raised his hand and unfolded a holographic projection. In the image, countless parallel universes were collapsing at a visible speed, black fissures spreading like a virus throughout the multiverse. "This is the 'Tide of Nothingness,' formed from the negative energy generated at the birth of the universe. It's devouring universes; within a century, the entire multiverse will be reduced to nothingness."
Lin Ye's heart sank: "Then what can we do?"
“Only by gathering all seven Super Dragon Balls and making the wish to ‘purify the void’ can this disaster be stopped.” Salama’s gaze fell on Lin Ye. “And you, Lin Ye, are the only one who can withstand the full power of the Super Dragon Balls. Because within you, there is not only Saiyan blood, but also the blessing of the Genesis Fragment.”
Beerus frowned and said, "But don't the Super Dragon Balls require the Namekian language to make a wish? No Namekians these days know the ancient wish-making incantation."
“This is why I’ve come to you.” Salama took out a leather scroll from his sleeve. “This scroll contains ancient wishing incantations and coordinates for finding the Super Dragon Balls. Lin Ye, Beerus, you need to join forces to collect the Super Dragon Balls and save the multiverse.”
Lin Ye took the scroll, and the moment his fingertips touched the animal hide, countless pieces of information flooded his mind. He looked up at Salama, his eyes resolute: "I understand. I will collect all the Super Dragon Balls."
Beerus nodded in agreement: "It's troublesome, but we can't just watch the multiverse be destroyed. But let's make it clear beforehand that you'll have to prepare plenty of good food for me after it's done."
Salama smiled, his figure gradually becoming transparent: "Don't worry, as long as you succeed, you can have whatever you want. I will assist you from behind the scenes." After saying that, his figure completely disappeared into the palace.
The two Omni-Kings skipped and hopped over to Lin Ye. The Omni-King on the left tugged at his sleeve and said, "Lin Ye, you have to succeed! If you fail, we'll have no choice but to wipe out those collapsed universes."
"We believe in you!" The Omni-King on the right held up the candy. "This is a reward!"
Lin Ye took the candy and smiled helplessly: "I will do my best."
When Lin Ye and Beerus walked out of the Omni-King's Palace, Whis had already prepared the spaceship. Beerus stretched and said, "Kid, we've got some work to do. The coordinates of the first Super Dragon Ball are in Universe 6. Let's go find that Champa guy and ask him about it."
"Alright." Lin Ye gazed at the vast universe outside the window, gripping the scroll in his hand tightly. "I hope this time it will go more smoothly."
Unbeknownst to him, after they left, a black figure silently emerged from the shadows of the Omni-King's palace. A sinister smile played on the figure's lips as they toyed with a black scale in their hand—a fragment from the Chaos Monster. A new conspiracy was quietly brewing in the shadows.
Chapter 448: The Omni-King's Decision
Inside the council chamber of the Omni-King's palace, the auras of the twelve Gods of Destruction surged like magma, while the divine light of the twelve Supreme Kais shone like stars. Together, they formed an invisible net of oppressive power, so intense it seemed to solidify the air. Lin Ye stood beside Beerus, his fingertips slightly numb. The gazes cast upon him held curiosity, scrutiny, but mostly suspicion. After all, in the eyes of these gods who had lived for billions of years, he, a "mortal" who had awakened his divinity later in life, was truly an untimely intruder.
"Buzzing..."
The void in the center of the council hall suddenly trembled. The Omni-King sat on the floating rainbow throne, his short legs kicking the air erratically. The innocent smile that usually graced his face vanished without a trace. He raised his small hand, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "The rate of erosion by chaotic energy is three times faster than I anticipated."
As soon as the words were spoken, a holographic projection suddenly appeared. The model of the multiverse was clearly visible, but countless black lines, like greedy spiderwebs, were frantically wrapping around the bright cosmic plates. The areas touched were visibly darkening and shrinking. At the very edge, three planets had completely collapsed into black hole-like structures, frantically devouring everything around them.
"Those three planets in Universe 7 have already become chaotic singularities." The Omni-King's voice turned colder. "The problem we need to solve now is how to stop this thing from spreading further."
"Isn't that simple?" Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6, stepped forward with his arms crossed, his round face full of impatience. "Just wipe out the polluted universe, isn't that the most efficient way? It also saves time. My Champa planet's cream puffs are waiting for me to go back and eat them; I don't have time to waste here."
"Clear them out?" Lin Ye suddenly took a step forward, and golden flames uncontrollably surged from his body. "There are still hundreds of millions of life forms in those universes! You think you can just clear them out like that?"
Champa glanced at him sideways, exhaling a puff of white breath from his nostrils, his tone as arrogant as if he were looking at an ant: "Hundreds of millions of lives? They're nothing but ants from a lowly civilization. The survival of the multiverse is what matters most. What are their lives worth?"
"Say that again!" Lin Ye's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the golden divine aura almost solidified.
"What? Want to fight?" Champa also got angry, and purple destructive energy instantly enveloped his entire body. "Don't think that just because Beerus is protecting you, you can act wildly in front of me. Believe me or not, I'll 'destroy' you right now, you brat?"
"Enough!" Beerus suddenly spoke, black destructive energy condensing into a small ball in his palm. Although it was only the size of a marble, it caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. "Champa, have you forgotten why you were able to become a God of Destruction? Our duty is to protect the balance of the universe, not to slaughter life at will."
Champa's face stiffened, but he remained defiant: "Even protection has its priorities! Are you suggesting we let the entire multiverse perish with those ants? In that case, not only will your cat food be gone, but the entire Omni-King's palace will be devoured by the chaotic energy!"
"Is direct elimination the optimal solution?" Quitra, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, stepped forward. He was tall and thin, and spoke calmly. "The energy of those chaotic singularities is extremely unstable. Forcibly eliminating them might trigger a chain reaction of explosions, which would only affect more universes."
“Quetra, what do you mean? Are you trying to speak up for this mortal?” Champa glared at him.
“I’m just stating the facts,” Quitra replied calmly.
In an instant, the council chamber split into two factions. Champa, Vermouth, and several other Gods of Destruction sided with the "Purification Plan," believing that sacrificing a few was a necessary price to pay; Beerus and Quitra, on the other hand, supported finding a more moderate solution. The twelve Supreme Kais stood aside, heads bowed, clearly not daring to easily interfere in the debate between the Gods of Destruction, much less go against the Omni-King's wishes.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, took two steps forward, and bowed slightly to the King: "King, I have a suggestion."
The King tilted his head, a hint of curiosity on his small face: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Lin Ye raised his hand and brought up the holographic blueprint of the Ark Space Station. Pointing to the core device in the center, he explained, "We can use the creation power of the Super Dragon Balls as the core, combine it with Namek's life magic to stabilize the structure, use Earth's quantum technology to build the framework, and finally ask the Gods of Destruction to inject destructive energy and the angels to inject divine power to create a 'multiverse purification barrier'."
He traced his finger across the area of most concentrated chaotic energy in the projection: "Trap all the chaotic singularities within the barrier, purify them gradually, rather than erasing them directly. I am willing to lead the teams from Earth and Namek to be responsible for the development of the core device."
"How long will it take for this method to work?" King Quan pressed.
“Three months.” Lin Ye said firmly, “As long as the gods are willing to provide support, we will definitely be able to complete the barrier before the chaotic energy spreads to the central universe.”
"Three months?" Champa scoffed, crossing his arms and mocking, "Kid, aren't you being too naive? With your lousy technology and broken magic, you might not even be able to touch the edge of chaotic energy in three months, let alone build a barrier. Before you've even finished your tinkering, the multiverse will probably already be half swallowed up!"
“I can vouch for it.” Beerus stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Ye, black destructive energy flowing around him. “If it cannot be completed within three months, I will voluntarily accept the punishment of the Omni-King.”
Weiss also spoke up at the opportune moment, a gentle smile on his face: "The Angel race is willing to provide full assistance. We can use time magic to set up a barrier in the area where the chaotic energy is spreading, slowing its spread and buying time for research and development."
The Omni-King remained silent for a moment, tapping his chin lightly with his little finger, his gaze sweeping over all the gods present. The council chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and Lin Ye's heart pounded... He knew this concerned not only the life forms in the polluted universe, but also the future of the entire multiverse.
A few seconds later, the King suddenly grinned and clapped his hands: "Alright! I'll give you three months! If you fail..." He raised his hand and made an erasing gesture, his tone light but carrying a deadly pressure, "Don't blame me then."
As the Omni-King finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the council hall instantly dissipated. Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with cold sweat. But when he looked at Champa, he found that the other man's eyes were still full of disbelief, even carrying a hint of anticipation... Clearly, Champa did not believe that this plan proposed by a "mortal" could succeed.
As they left the Omni-King's Palace, Beerus patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Don't disappoint me, kid. I don't want to take the punishment for you if you fail."
"No." Lin Ye looked up at the distant starry sky, where a dark outline could be vaguely seen, in the direction from which chaotic energy was spreading. "I will not let any universe be sacrificed in vain."
Upon returning to the Ark Space Station, Lin Ye immediately convened a meeting in the command center. On the holographic projection, the design blueprints of the purification barrier had been enlarged, densely marked with various parameters and material requirements.
Bulma frowned as she stared at the design drawings, her fingers flying across the keyboard: "The core device needs the primordial power of the Super Dragon Balls as its power source, that's no problem, but the Super Dragon Balls are currently scattered in various corners of the twelve universes, and it will take at least a month to collect them all."
"Leave the collection of the Super Dragon Balls to me." Vegeta stood up, a deep blue aura flashing around him, his eyes sharp as an eagle. "I'll have Trunks come with me. With our current strength, we can definitely find all seven Super Dragon Balls within two weeks."
"Give me the magical materials from Namek." Android 18 nodded and added, "I will contact the Android Corps and the Earth Defense Force to have them cooperate with the elders of Namek to collect the materials. The crystals and plants needed for life magic are very special, and I must go to the secret realm of Namek to collect them myself."
Klin scratched his head and raised his hand as well: "I can take charge of coordinating the Earth's research team! The construction of the quantum framework requires a lot of data support, and I'll have Bulma's dad lead the team. There definitely won't be any problems."
Seeing his companions each fulfilling their duties and stepping forward without hesitation, Lin Ye felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took a deep breath and pointed to the core device in the projection, saying, "Dandy and I are responsible for the design and debugging of the core device. Dandy has the strongest life perception ability and can accurately control the degree of fusion between the power of creation and life magic, which is something that no one else can replace."
Dandy nodded, a determined look on his face: "Don't worry, Lin Ye, I will do my best."
Just then, the lights in the command room flickered, Alice's holographic projection began to malfunction, data streams flowed around her like a waterfall, and an alarm sounded: "Warning! Warning! A new chaotic singularity has been detected at the edge of the seventh universe! Its energy intensity is three times that of the previous one! It is rapidly devouring the surrounding star systems!"
Everyone's expression changed instantly. Lin Ye abruptly brought up the live feed, where a planet three times larger than before was rapidly collapsing. Black chaotic energy gushed out from the planet's interior like a fountain, instantly swallowing several surrounding stars, not even allowing their light to escape.
"Damn it, it's faster than expected." Lin Ye clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force. "There's no time to waste, everyone move out immediately! Vegeta, you and Trunks set off right now to find the Super Dragon Balls; Android 18, contact the elders of Namek immediately; Krillin, the research team must produce the preliminary design blueprints for the quantum framework by tomorrow!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, then turned and quickly left the command room.
Soon, only Lin Ye and Dandy remained in the command room. Lin Ye stared intently at the ever-expanding chaotic singularity on the screen, his expression grave. Dandy watched his retreating figure and whispered, "Lin Ye, don't worry too much. We'll definitely succeed."
Lin Ye turned around, a determined smile on his face: "I know. Because behind us are the lives of the entire multiverse."
He raised his hand to turn off the alarm, pulled up the design details of the core device, and his fingers flew across the keyboard. Outside the window, the engines of the Ark space station had already started, emitting a deep roar, and were flying towards Namek. In the distant depths of space, Vegeta and Trunks' figures also turned into two streaks of light and disappeared among the stars.
The three-month countdown officially begins from this moment.
