Beerus sat upon the Omni-King's throne, his golden eyes glowing with divine authority. The vast chamber of Zeno's palace was filled with an overwhelming silence, only broken by the labored breaths of the gathered Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais. They had all arrived in haste after the Grand Priest's summons, only to witness an unthinkable sight—both Zenos kneeling before Beerus, alongside the Grand Priest himself.
The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais exchanged uneasy glances. Never had they even imagined such a moment. Zeno was the highest authority in existence—or so they had believed. But here he was, kneeling like a child before a true sovereign.
Then, Beerus spoke, his voice absolute, resonating through reality itself.
"You have all served under a system of false hierarchy, a flawed order built upon the whims of children. That illusion ends today."
A crushing weight pressed down upon everyone in the room. Some Gods of Destruction gritted their teeth, trying to withstand the pressure, while the Supreme Kais struggled to even keep their heads raised. The raw power radiating from Beerus was beyond anything they had ever felt.
His wives—Velzar, Erza, Zerna, Delta, Beta, and Sigma—stood at his side, their presences exuding authority in their own right. They watched in silence, knowing this moment was one that would redefine everything.
Beerus looked down at the kneeling Grand Priest.
"You alone among them maintained the multiverse, despite the flawed system. You understood balance, though you were bound by limits placed upon you. I will remove those limits."
The Grand Priest raised his head, his expression unreadable.
"Supreme One, what would you have me do?"
Beerus smirked.
"You will now take your rightful place as Omni-King. The true ruler of creation."
A ripple of shock swept through the chamber. The Supreme Kais' eyes widened in disbelief, and the Gods of Destruction stiffened.
Beerus raised his hand, summoning a swirling mass of golden energy—the essence of Zeno's omnipotence. It crackled with raw cosmic authority, radiating an infinite presence that surpassed all understanding. The very fabric of existence trembled as Beerus held this power in his grasp.
The energy swirled around his fingers, forming an intricate pattern of divine symbols. The moment was surreal—Zeno's power, the force that had erased entire universes with a mere thought, now condensed into a form beyond comprehension.
The Grand Priest closed his eyes, understanding the gravity of what was about to happen.
Beerus extended his hand, and the golden energy surged forward like a cosmic storm. The moment it made contact with the Grand Priest, a brilliant explosion of divine light erupted, illuminating the entire palace.
The Supreme Kais gasped as waves of divine energy washed over them, forcing them to their knees. The Gods of Destruction struggled to remain standing as the sheer force of the transformation sent shockwaves through reality itself.
The Grand Priest's body absorbed the power seamlessly, his form glowing with an ethereal radiance. The energy did not change him physically, but his very presence became something greater, something beyond comprehension.
When the light faded, the chamber fell silent once more. The Grand Priest opened his eyes, and in that moment, all of existence acknowledged his new authority. He was no longer simply an observer—he was now the true Omni-King.
The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais bowed their heads, instinctively recognizing his new status.
Beerus smirked.
"Your power is now absolute. Do you accept this responsibility?"
The Grand Priest slowly rose to his feet, his expression calm but resolute.
"Yes, Supreme One. I will uphold your will and guide this multiverse properly."
Beerus then turned to the two Zenos, who looked up at him with an unusual mixture of understanding and reverence.
"Your time as rulers is over. But I will not erase you."
The room tensed again. What fate awaited the two beings who had once held supreme authority?
Beerus stepped forward, his gaze piercing through them.
"From this moment forward, you are no longer the Omni-Kings. Instead, you will be reborn as my sons."
A hushed murmur rippled through the Supreme Kais and Destroyers. Even the Grand Priest raised an eyebrow.
The Zenos tilted their heads in unison.
"Sons?" they echoed.
Beerus nodded.
"Yes. You will be trained under the Grand Priest, not as rulers, but as warriors. You will learn the truth of existence, the balance between destruction and creation. One day, you may serve as Cosmic Guardians, beings who preserve balance rather than disrupt it. But for now, you will obey my will."
The Zenos were silent for a moment, then they both smiled.
"Okay, Father!"
The room was stunned. Even Beerus' wives exchanged amused glances, finding the development unexpected but fitting.
Beerus simply smirked.
"Good. Then your training begins immediately."
The Grand Priest nodded in agreement.
"I will see to their growth personally, Supreme One."
Beerus then addressed the gathered Supreme Kais and Destroyers.
"Your universes have stagnated. Some of you have grown complacent. That ends now."
He turned to the Grand Priest.
"As the new Omni-King, you will determine the standard by which these universes will be judged."
The Grand Priest closed his eyes in thought for a moment before speaking.
*"The balance of existence must be maintained. From this moment, each universe will be judged on three core principles: Structural Integrity, Evolutionary Progress, and Cosmic Balance.
Structural Integrity: Each universe must be stable, with properly functioning laws of reality. Anomalies that threaten stability must be eliminated.
Evolutionary Progress: Life within each universe must advance, civilizations must grow, and knowledge must flourish. Stagnant worlds will not be tolerated.
Cosmic Balance: The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais must work in harmony. Destruction must be purposeful, and creation must be guided. Reckless erasure or careless creation will not be permitted."*
The Supreme Kais nodded in understanding, while the Gods of Destruction looked more serious than ever.
The Grand Priest continued.
"You all have 100 years to meet these standards. If your universes fail, the Supreme One will decide their fate."
Beerus' golden eyes gleamed.
"That is correct. Do not disappoint me."
The weight of those words sent chills down their spines.
The Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais bowed deeply, fully aware of the monumental task ahead.
The Grand Priest, now the true Omni-King, turned to Beerus.
"With your decree, the multiverse enters a new age of order and purpose. Balance will be restored."
Beerus smirked.
"Good. Then my work here is done."
With that, he turned, his wives following behind him.
As Beerus walked away, the multiverse itself seemed to tremble in recognition of its true master.
The Supreme One had spoken.
Balance had been restored.
And the new era had begun.
With Beerus having reshaped the cosmic hierarchy, new challenges and developments will arise:
The Training of the Zenos: How will they develop under the Grand Priest?
The Race Against Time: Can the universes meet the new standards within 100 years?
