Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

Void and Gogeta collided in quick succession, their punches tearing through the fabric of reality. The arena cracked under their sheer power, forming hills and jagged peaks where smooth stone once lay. Dimensions splintered, space quaked, and the air rippled as if it were glass shattering under pressure. The sheer magnitude of their clash was enough to silence even the most hardened spectators.

Void grinned as he intercepted Gogeta's next strike, holding his fist firmly in place.

"If this is your limit," Void said, his voice low and almost mocking, "then I'm afraid this is the end."

Gogeta's eyes widened. "You mean…?"

Before he could finish, Void's grip tightened, and with an explosive force, he sent Gogeta flying backward. The fusion broke apart mid-air, Goku and Vegeta tumbling to the ground in separate forms. Their bodies twitched with exhaustion, pain radiating from every fiber of their beings.

Void stood tall, his piercing gaze shifting to Gohan. His grin widened. "And now, the real show begins."

On the Other Side of the Arena

Gohan panted heavily, his arms trembling violently. The strain of his battle against Void's clone was overwhelming, his limbs feeling as though they might shatter at any moment.

"Don't lose focus!" Piccolo's voice rang out from the sidelines.

But Gohan hesitated for a fraction of a second, distracted by his own faltering strength.

That was all the time Void's clone needed. A streak of purple fire blazed toward him like a predatory beast.

"Gohan!" Piccolo shouted, his form vanishing in a flash as he appeared in front of Gohan just in time.

BOOM!

The explosion sent both warriors flying. Dust and debris filled the air as Gohan landed hard, coughing violently. He scrambled to his feet, his heart pounding as he scanned the battlefield.

"Piccolo! Piccolo!" Gohan shouted desperately.

But there was no response. His dread deepened when he realized Piccolo's energy signature had vanished.

A chilling voice broke through his panic.

"Looking for someone?"

Gohan spun around, and his heart sank. Void's clone stood before him, holding a severed head aloft.

"Piccolo..." Gohan's voice cracked as his eyes locked onto the familiar features.

"Yes," Void's clone said, his grin wicked. "He died saving you. A death that was meant to be yours."

Gohan's fists trembled as rage boiled within him. His teeth clenched, and his aura flared uncontrollably.

"You… YOU KILLED HIM!"

"No, little boy," Void's clone sneered. "You killed him. He died because of your weakness."

The taunt was the final straw. Gohan's anger erupted, his energy turning feral. Purple waves of power radiated from his body, shaking the arena and sweeping away everything in their path.

Void's clone watched with a mixture of curiosity and amusement as the light engulfed Gohan. When it faded, Gohan stood transformed—his aura brighter, his hair glowing white.

Beast Gohan had emerged.

Another Corner of the Arena

Frieza's battered form crumpled to the ground, his golden energy flickering and fading as he reverted to his final form. Blood trickled down his face as Void's clone towered over him, an unrelenting grin stretched across his face.

"Pathetic," Void's clone taunted, his voice dripping with contempt. "You call the Saiyans monkeys, yet here you are, beaten and broken by their power. And look over there," he gestured toward Beast Gohan, whose energy now dominated the battlefield. "That boy, the son of the monkey you despise the most, has surpassed you in every way. What a cosmic joke."

Frieza's eyes burned with fury, his fists clenching. "You… dare mock me? I am Lord Frieza!"

Void's clone leaned closer, his smile widening. "Yes, Lord Frieza. But here, you're nothing more than a footnote in someone else's story."

Frieza roared in anger, charging forward with all the strength he could muster. Void's clone met him head-on, their clash echoing across the battlefield.

"Monkey this, monkey that. What a lame way of speaking. Your power level is what—zero?" Void's clone taunted Frieza as he delivered a brutal punch to his face.

"You... I will kill you!" Frieza spat out blood, his fury mounting.

"With what? A power level of zero? What a waste," Void's clone sneered, grabbing Frieza's head and relentlessly pummeling his gut.

"All hail Frieza, the emperor of the universe! What a joke. Who are you kidding?" Void's clone mocked, his punches landing harder with each word.

"Whis is stronger than you."

"Beerus is stronger than you."

"Gohan, the son of Goku, is stronger than you. Even Vegeta, your former slave, now towers over you while you crumble at his feet."

"Look at yourself—with a halo over your head. What does that signify? Oh, that's right—you're dead."

"More dead than Krillin in the Frieza Saga."

"You're like Yamcha—irrelevant and forgotten. Even Majin Buu, with his brainless antics, put up a better fight than you."

"Cell is the perfect one, while 'imperfect' is written all over you."

"You've got a voice like a woman's, yet you claim to be a man. So tell me, Frieza—where's your weenie?"

"Janemba couldn't even speak, yet he gave Goku and Vegeta more trouble than you ever did."

With every taunt, Void's clone increased the speed and power of his punches, turning Frieza into a punching bag of bruises and humiliation.

Frieza's rage surged, even though he didn't recognize any of the "villains" Void's clone mentioned. The insults stung regardless, pushing his anger to its breaking point.

"Even Goku—that monkey you despise, the one whose father you killed—is stronger than you," Void's clone said with a smirk.

Suddenly, an intense energy pulse erupted from Frieza.

"AAAAAAARGH!" Frieza screamed as his aura exploded in a violent black surge. Void's clone raised an arm to shield his face from the fierce winds and energy emanating from Frieza's transformation.

"Never say that monkey is stronger than me!" Frieza bellowed, his voice seething with unrestrained fury.

His power multiplied exponentially, surpassing his Golden Frieza form. His body was now cloaked entirely in black, radiating raw, terrifying energy.

Void's clone remained unfazed, smirking at the display. "Come on. If Goku isn't stronger than you, at least he's taller."

******************

"Good. Now Gohan and Frieza have been pushed to evolve. Next is Vegeta," Void thought as a clone moved out and disappeared with Vegeta.

********

At a Small Hill

Vegeta was slammed into the ground as the hill crumbled. At this point, both Vegeta and Goku had already eaten the senzu beans.

"Aaaargh!" Vegeta roared as he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue.

"Weak."

Slap.

Vegeta reverted to his base form as his aura vanished.

"Tell me honestly, why are you so weak? Even in the Abyss, the younger ones are stronger than you. Who are you? The 'Prince of All Saiyans'? Bulma's husband? A worthless piece of trash? Your pathetic self disgusts me," Void's clone sneered as Vegeta narrowed his eyes, his hand trembling as it touched his face.

"Look around you. You want to lead them? With what? This power level? You're delusional. Goku is stronger than you and.. Can you feel it?" Void's clone asked coldly.

Vegeta stepped back in shock. "Gohan..."

"Yes. He has discovered a new form and is now stronger than you. And you? What are you? An idiot whose rival's son surpasses him. You're no prince—just a slave. Can you feel it?" Void's clone paused, grinning as Vegeta's eyes widened in fear.

"Fri... Frieza..." Vegeta stammered.

"That's right. Your arch-enemy has reached a higher realm. What ego! What arrogance! You're nothing but trash. The so-called 'Prince of Weak Power Levels,'" Void's clone mocked.

Vegeta clenched his fists, staring at the ground. But then, he suddenly relaxed, his face resolute.

"I agree—I'm arrogant. I have an ego, and I accept that. You call it ego; I call it my pride as the Prince of Saiyans. My pride is everything. My heart, my soul, my body—I've put them all into training, all into getting stronger. To defeat Kakarot, to surpass my limits!" Vegeta's voice grew louder, his aura flaring wildly.

"You can insult me. You can call me unworthy because of my pitiful strength. But I will not allow you to insult my hard work over the years—and I will not let you insult the Saiyans. I will NOT let you insult my people. NEVER!" Vegeta shouted, his voice cold and chilling as he ascended to Super Saiyan Blue Evolution.

If this were earlier, he might have been satisfied. But now, he wanted more.

"That ego you mock, that pride in the Saiyan race—that will be the key to my success in defeating you. I will use it—all of it. My pride, my ego, my determination. Damn it, I will be fueled by my EGO!" Vegeta roared, his aura raging around him as he rose into the air.

The unique color of his transformation made Void's clone smile.

"Ultra Ego Vegeta," Void's clone muttered with a grin.

*********

Meanwhile

"Toppo, the defender of justice. Look at you—look at your pitiful self. You can't even save your comrades," Void's clone said mockingly as he bent down, staring at the bloodied figure. Around them were the dead bodies of the pride troopers.

Most of Toppo's body was buried in the ground, with only his head and a small part of his torso visible.

"I... haven't lost yet," Toppo whispered, his voice faint but defiant.

Void's clone grinned. "You already have. Justice is meaningless." He waved his hand dismissively.

"Then I forsake justice," Toppo said suddenly.

********

At the spectator seats, the Supreme Kai of Universe 7 frowned.

"What does he mean?" he asked nervously.

Belmod, the God of Destruction from Universe 11, chuckled. "Well, Kai, the next God of Destruction for Universe 11 has already been chosen—and trained. Care to guess who that is?"

**********

Back in the Ring

"What did you say?" Void's clone asked, his grin widening.

Suddenly, a blinding purple light erupted, and a deep voice echoed through the air.

"Hakai."
