Vegeta’s Transformation: Training to Become the New God of Destruction

After the monumental changes within the multiverse, Vegeta found himself stepping into the shoes of the God of Destruction for Universe 7. The mantle of responsibility weighed heavily upon him, as he not only had to embrace the full scope of his new role but also adapt to the rigorous training required to be a God of Destruction, a title that came with both immense power and equally immense responsibility. His angelic mentor, Astrael, a being of unmeasurable beauty and wisdom, was assigned to guide him in his transformation.

Vegeta had always been a warrior, a Saiyan who thrived on power and the thrill of combat. However, becoming a Destroyer was something entirely different. It wasn't just about strength or the ability to eradicate opponents—there was a deeper level of understanding required. Being a God of Destruction meant understanding the delicate balance of creation and annihilation. It meant becoming a judge of fate, ensuring that the cycle of creation and destruction was kept in harmony across the universe.

The first task was simple but significant: Vegeta needed to adjust to his new home, Beerus' old planet, where he would live and train. The desolate, barren world, once known for its bleakness, was now to become the birthplace of a new cosmic order.

Vegeta's First Day on Beerus' Planet

The planet, now under Vegeta's dominion, was cold and silent, the remnants of its previous ruler's destructive capabilities still scattered across the surface. Vegeta landed in the same spot where Beerus used to meditate, his boots leaving indents in the ground as he stood there. He could feel the immense pressure of his new role, a weight that made his usual prideful stance feel somewhat out of place.

Astrael, his angel mentor, stood beside him, her radiant presence casting a soft glow against the barren landscape.

Astrael: (calm, composed) "This is where you will train, Lord Vegeta. The rules and laws of destruction are not like any combat you've known before. Here, you will face challenges not only of physical strength but of understanding the delicate balance of the cosmos."

Vegeta stood still, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Vegeta: (with determination) "I've destroyed planets before. What's so different about this?"

Astrael: (softly smiling) "Destruction is not just about obliterating your enemies or destroying worlds. You must learn to decide when to destroy, when to preserve, and when to create anew. As a God of Destruction, you are a force of balance, Vegeta. You are both creator and destroyer."

Vegeta took in her words, his mind already shifting as he began to absorb the weight of this new reality.

The first lesson in Vegeta's training was an important one: understanding the essence of destruction. Astrael led him to a large, rocky outcrop that overlooked the vast, desolate plains of the planet.

Astrael: "The first lesson is control. You will destroy something in front of me, but it must not be reckless. I want you to eliminate that mountain."

Astrael pointed toward a large mountain in the distance, its jagged peaks reaching toward the sky. Vegeta focused intently on the mountain, his aura flaring with energy as he prepared to unleash a devastating blast.

Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) "Hmph. I'll make it disappear in an instant."

With a wave of his hand, Vegeta released a blast of destruction, a beam of pure energy aimed directly at the mountain. The blast collided with the peak, and the mountain disintegrated into dust in a matter of seconds. Vegeta lowered his hand, satisfied with the result, but Astrael didn't seem impressed.

Astrael: (calmly) "You destroyed the mountain, yes. But did you take into account its purpose? Was it the right time for it to end? Destruction is not mindless, Vegeta. It is deliberate. Your power should be used only when needed, and you must learn when to stop, to preserve the balance."

Vegeta stood in silence, feeling a deep sense of humility creeping into him. He had always destroyed for the sake of strength or in the heat of battle, but now, as a God of Destruction, he had to respect the purpose of each action.

Over the next few days, Vegeta's training intensified. He went through rigorous physical conditioning, learning how to **tap into the destructive forces of nature without losing control. Astrael tested him with various exercises, each one designed to expand his control over his immense power.

On the fifth day, Astrael set up a simple test—one that would test Vegeta's patience and composure, qualities that a God of Destruction needed in spades.

Astrael: (seriously) "You will face a series of challenges today, Vegeta. This is not about brute force; it is about balance. I will send a series of illusions your way. Your task is to destroy only the ones that need destruction, while allowing the others to remain untouched. Do not destroy in anger or haste."

Vegeta's expression hardened. He was a Saiyan warrior, accustomed to facing challenges head-on, but this test was different. It required a level of mental control that Vegeta had never needed before.

The first illusion appeared before him—a giant fiery beast, roaring and charging at him with the intent to destroy. Vegeta's instinct was to obliterate it immediately, but he paused.

Vegeta: (muttering to himself) "I can't just destroy it without reason. It may not be a threat."

Vegeta squinted his eyes, studying the creature's movements. It was a mere illusion, a test of his resolve. With a deep breath, he flicked his wrist, sending a small wave of energy at the creature, enough to send it dispersing into the air. The beast vanished without a trace.

He faced the second illusion—an earthquake-causing behemoth that seemed to collapse the very ground beneath him. Without hesitation, Vegeta unleashed a devastating blast, destroying it completely.

Vegeta: (panting) "That was a real threat."

Astrael: (approving) "Very good, Lord Vegeta. You have learned to control your instincts. But the true test is still ahead."

By the tenth day of his training, Vegeta had grown accustomed to his new powers, but the true essence of being a God of Destruction was still eluding him. The balance between destruction and creation was the central concept he still had trouble mastering. Astrael saw this as an opportunity to delve deeper into the law of destruction.

Astrael: "Vegeta, destruction is not just about power. It is a universal law. It has a purpose in the cosmos. Without it, there is no balance. Every action you take as a God of Destruction must have a clear purpose."

Astrael took him to a secluded spot where the essence of a world lay dormant in a cosmic orb. It was a world that had been on the brink of destruction but had been saved by the intervention of a Supreme Kai.

Astrael: (explaining) "This world is in a state of suspended animation. It is frozen in time. If you decide that it no longer serves the balance of the universe, it will be your task to end it. But be warned—once it is gone, it cannot be brought back."

Vegeta stared at the orb, his mind racing. He felt a deep internal struggle. The old Saiyan warrior in him wanted to simply destroy it, but as a God of Destruction, he had to weigh the consequences.

Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) "I will do it. I'll finish it… if it's necessary for the balance."

As he prepared to destroy the world, Astrael stepped forward and stopped him.

Astrael: (seriously) "The law of destruction does not just take away. It makes room for new life. As a God of Destruction, you must understand that sometimes creation follows destruction. There will be times when your duty is not to end a world, but to make room for a new creation to flourish in its place."

Vegeta stood still, his face a mixture of frustration and understanding. This lesson was the hardest for him, as it demanded that he think beyond his own instincts.

Vegeta: (quietly) "I… I understand. The destruction of one thing may lead to the creation of something better. Balance must be maintained."

On the fifteenth day, Vegeta had come a long way. His powers as a God of Destruction were immense, but his understanding of balance, creation, and annihilation had evolved. He had learned that a Destroyer must not simply destroy for the sake of destruction but to maintain cosmic balance. The universe itself needed both creation and destruction to flourish.

Astrael led him back to the center of Beerus' planet, where a final test awaited him.

Astrael: (softly) "Vegeta, you have become a God of Destruction in both power and mind. You now understand the role of destruction within the grand design. Today, you will decide the fate of an entire galaxy. Choose wisely."

Vegeta's gaze hardened as he looked across the vast expanse of the cosmos. The training was over; it was time to prove that he had learned everything Astrael had taught him.

Vegeta had transformed into something far greater than the Saiyan prince he once was. Now, he stood as the new God of Destruction, a being of unmatched power, wisdom, and restraint. With the training complete, he was ready to take on his new responsibilities and bring balance to the universe. Astrael, his angelic guide, had shaped him into someone far beyond the destruction-driven warrior he once was. His pride and ambition had evolved into the realization that destruction was only part of a greater cosmic plan.
