The Grand Priest’s Universal Decree & The Rise of Zenith and Zephyr

The Envoy's Mission: Spreading the Grand Priest's Universal Laws

In the wake of the Grand Priest's ascension to Omni-King, the structure of divine governance had shifted. No longer would the Gods of Destruction act upon personal whims, nor would the Supreme Kais sit idly by as passive creators. The balance of destruction and creation had to be harmonized across all universes.

Thus, the Grand Priest summoned an envoy of celestial heralds, radiant beings of divine light, each entrusted with delivering his message to all Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais.

These heralds descended upon every universe, appearing before each ruling pair. Their very presence shook the divine realms, causing an immediate reaction from the deities they visited.

Universe 1: Lord Iwne & Supreme Kai Anato

In Universe 1, the domain of the most refined and advanced civilization, the herald materialized in the royal palace, where the destroyer Iwne and his Supreme Kai Anato were deep in philosophical debate.

As the herald's voice rang with authority, they listened with calm, dignified expressions.

Herald: "The Grand Priest has issued a new decree. From this moment forward, all Gods of Destruction must consult their Supreme Kais before annihilating a world. Furthermore, Supreme Kais must actively nurture their creations, ensuring their evolution and prosperity."

Anato nodded in approval, his hands clasped before him.

Anato: "A wise and necessary change. Creation without guidance is chaos; destruction without reason is wasteful."

Iwne, though always measured, took a deep breath.

Iwne: "Tch. I have never been reckless, but I understand. Very well, from now on, every world I consider for destruction will first pass through Anato's judgment."

The herald bowed and disappeared in a flash of golden light.

Universe 11: Belmod & Supreme Kai Kai

In Universe 11, the herald appeared in the Hall of Justice, where the Pride Troopers stood in silent vigilance. The Supreme Kai, Kai, watched with intrigue, while the jester-like Destroyer, Belmod, smirked but said nothing.

After hearing the new laws, Belmod leaned back on his throne.

Belmod: "Consult with Supreme Kais? Interesting. Guess that means I can't just erase criminals without discussing it first."

Kai: (nodding) "It ensures that no civilization is unjustly wiped out. We must maintain order with wisdom, not just force."

Belmod chuckled.

Belmod: "Fine. We'll do things the Grand Priest's way."

The herald bowed and vanished, leaving the Pride Troopers exchanging glances, aware that their universe's balance had shifted forever.

Universe 7: Vegeta & Supreme Kai Shin

Meanwhile, in Universe 7, the newly ascended God of Destruction, Vegeta, stood on the barren cliffs of a distant world, arms crossed, listening to Astrael, his new angelic attendant, read out the decree. Supreme Kai Shin floated beside him, uncertain.

Vegeta: (grumbling) "Hmph. I never destroyed for fun like Beerus, but now I need permission?"

Shin: (smiling nervously) "Well… it's more of a consultation than permission. We need to ensure the balance is fair."

Astrael's golden eyes pierced through Vegeta's pride.

Astrael: "This is the path of responsibility, Lord Vegeta. If you accepted this role, you must embody its principles."

Vegeta scoffed but nodded.

Vegeta: "Fine. But if Shin slows me down, I'll have words with him."

Shin gulped, while Astrael merely smiled in amusement.

Another aspect of the decree was the potential for mortals to rise beyond their limitations. If a mortal proved themselves worthy, they could be granted divine protection or even ascend to higher realms of existence.

Universe 6: Cabba's Awakening

In Universe 6, the Saiyan warrior Cabba stood before Champa and Vados, having received a celestial summons.

Vados: (smiling) "The Grand Priest has deemed that worthy mortals may ascend to divine ranks. You, Cabba, are among the chosen."

Cabba's eyes widened.

Cabba: "M-Me? But… I'm just a Saiyan!"

Champa grumbled, but a part of him was proud.

Champa: "Tch. If the Grand Priest sees potential in you, don't waste it, boy."

Cabba, though overwhelmed, bowed in acceptance, his journey toward the divine beginning.

Meanwhile, in the divine palace of the Grand Priest, the two Zenos stood before him, their usual childlike expressions replaced with determination and curiosity.

The Grand Priest raised his hands, and a radiant surge of power surrounded them. Their forms shimmered, their childlike stature growing slightly taller, their eyes now carrying the wisdom of rebirth.

Grand Priest: "From this moment forth, you are no longer Zeno. You shall be reborn as Zenith and Zephyr, the twin cosmic guardians."

A wave of divine power surged through them. The palace shook, and celestial flames surrounded the twins, their very existence reshaped.

As the flames subsided, two beings of radiant energy stood where Zeno once was.

Zenith, the elder of the two, bore golden robes with streaks of silver, his aura calm yet vast, like an infinite cosmos.

Zephyr, the younger, was clad in deep celestial blue, his energy swift, shifting like the endless winds of space.

The Grand Priest smiled, his children reborn in a new role.

Zenith: (nodding) "We… understand now. We were once rulers, but now we shall be guardians."

Zephyr: (grinning) "Yes! Instead of erasing things, we will protect what is worth saving!"

Their training began immediately.

Zenith focused on cosmic equilibrium, learning to judge fate and balance existence itself.

Zephyr mastered the flow of time and space, ensuring that reality would never spiral into disorder.

The Grand Priest watched with pride. The once-childlike Zenos were now ascending beyond their past selves.

The New Era of the Multiverse

With the new laws in place, the gods' power refined, and Zenith and Zephyr rising as cosmic guardians, the multiverse had entered a new golden age.

The question now was:

What new challenges awaited them in this ever-expanding cosmos?
