Chapter 71 – Fusion Assault!

Translator's note: I got this from Wiki: In Dragon Ball Super, the "True God Realm" refers to the realm of Gods of the Multiverse. These gods, including the Omni-King, Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, and Angels, exist beyond the regular 12 universes, overseeing the entire multiverse. They are not limited by the physical laws of the universes and possess immense power.) also there are dominators, who are above true God realm. )

"This is... Are you trying to fuse? Do you really think I'll give you the time to pull it off?" Whis looked at the six shadow clones, his expression flashing with surprise before quickly twisting into a smirk of disdain.

"You're wrong. I've already fused once. My current strength has already reached its limit—I can't rely on fusion anymore to get stronger."

"...Ah, the fusion from your fight with Lord Beerus using the Potara earrings, right? I see now! No wonder you could go toe-to-toe with me right after ascending to the True God Realm. So right now, your strength is equivalent to the fusion of two early-stage True Gods, isn't it?" Realization dawned on Whis as he gazed intently at Goku. Then, his expression turned grim. "Wait... Don't tell me—"

"That's right. I can't fuse anymore... but my clones can."

Whis's face changed dramatically. "I won't let you succeed!" With a shout, he slashed his energy sword, sending countless waves of sword aura raining down on Goku and his clones. The space around them, which had only just begun to stabilize, shattered once again under the attack.

"You don't get a choice!" Goku chuckled, forming a glowing energy orb in his palm that quickly expanded into a massive energy barrier, enveloping himself and his six clones within it.

"Start the fusion now! This barrier won't last long!"

The six clones nodded gravely, splitting into three pairs. They struck synchronized poses and shouted in unison, "Fusion!"

In an instant, within the transparent barrier, three blinding flashes of light erupted, so intense that it was impossible to keep one's eyes open.

"Damn it! I won't let you succeed!" Whis roared, his body surging with power as he punched forward. With a resounding crack, the space itself shattered. His fist pierced through the dimensional rift and slammed directly into two of the fusing clones. The blow knocked them back violently, shattering the energy barrier and dispersing their bodies into white smoke.

However, at that very moment, three identical figures burst out from the light, launching themselves at Whis from three different directions. Each of them held a glowing sword and slashed down without hesitation.

"Ugh!" Whis quickly summoned two swords of light to block the attacks coming from his left and right, but he couldn't defend against the devastating blow from behind.

A spray of blood burst forth. A deep gash split across Whis's back, the sword's destructive energy tearing through his body, mangling nearly half of him.

"RAHHH!" Whis bellowed, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy. The force blasted Goku and his two successfully fused clones backward, sending them flying over a hundred meters before they could stabilize themselves mid-air.

Whis's back streamed with blood. Deep wounds crisscrossed his body, the flesh raw and mangled. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his face had turned pale. That single strike had grievously injured him. Though, under the radiant glow of divine energy, the wound was healing at a pace visible to the naked eye.

But Goku wasn't going to give him time to recover.

With his two fused clones, Goku formed a triangle around Whis. They raised their swords in unison and slashed down. Blades of divine light surged from three directions, sealing off any possible escape route. The space around them crumbled, and violent gales roared in all directions.

Whis's expression changed drastically. Facing just one of them was already difficult—but all three at once? That was nearly impossible. Still, he didn't give up. Pouring all his divine power into one final defense, he unleashed a wave of overwhelming energy. The space around them shattered like glass.

A scepter appeared in Whis's hand. If he couldn't counterattack, then all he could do was defend with everything he had.

He tapped his scepter in the air, summoning a transparent barrier around himself. Then, tapping repeatedly, he stacked layer upon layer of barriers—ten in total—the absolute limit of his power.

BOOM!

The three sword slashes crashed into the barriers, tearing through space itself. The violent winds of the void shattered on impact, but the immense pressure of the divine sword auras still broke through. One layer after another cracked and crumbled under the onslaught until nothing remained. Although the power of the attacks had been weakened somewhat, they still rained down on Whis with destructive force.

"Aaagh!!" Whis roared like a demon possessed. His hair whipped wildly in the chaos as he pushed his power to the brink. A blinding aura burst from his body as he spread his limbs wide and unleashed a final explosion of divine energy.

BOOM!!

A blinding light collided with the incoming sword strikes, shaking the very heavens.

"BREAK!!" Goku shouted, and the three warriors slashed down again with renewed fury. The divine sword energy roared forward, cleaving toward Whis with unstoppable momentum.

Whis, already pushed to his limit, could no longer withstand the assault. With a bitter sigh, he was swallowed by the blinding sword light.

CRACK!

Whis's divine aura shattered like glass. The combined sword energy ripped through his body, even as divine light tried to shield him. His figure was torn apart, swallowed by the radiant explosion of sword energy.

The sky split, winds howled, and space itself shattered. Compared to this scene, even the end of the world seemed trivial.

As the light faded and the broken void slowly began to mend, Whis's body—now utterly ruined—floated into view. Half of him had been obliterated, only his left arm remained intact. His body was covered in hideous wounds, his aura nearly extinguished.

His fate had been sealed—Whis had lost.

"I... I actually lost... to someone who only just reached the True God Realm? How ridiculous..." Whis smiled bitterly. He looked at Goku, his rage replaced by reluctant admiration. "Goku... I admit it. I underestimated you. Your talent... no one in history compares. But gods... gods aren't that easy to kill. Prepare yourself—for the other eleven parallel universes. Each of their champions... is stronger than the last."

Goku furrowed his brows. "Wait—weren't you the strongest in the universe? Are there others even stronger than you?"

"The strongest in the universe? You actually believed that?" Whis looked at him with a knowing smile. Then he revealed a staggering truth: "I'm only at the peak of the first phase of the True God Realm. There are three phases in total. Beyond that... lies the realm of the Dominators. Those beings command all life and all laws. They can destroy worlds with a flick of the wrist, or create them with a mere gesture. That... is true omnipotence."

"You still have a long, long way to go. And honestly... I really want to see how far you can climb. You're one of a kind, Goku. I'll be watching from the above—don't disappoint me."

"Three phases of True God... and Dominators, huh? Haha... Seems like the path ahead won't be boring at all!" Goku's eyes blazed with excitement. Knowing that even greater heights awaited made his blood boil with anticipation.

"As thanks..." Goku turned to Whis, his voice calm. "You can offer me your power now."

"I figured you'd say that." Whis gave a wry smile. "Go ahead. Since I lost, I have no regrets. I want to know... can someone from the lower world really reach the realm of Dominators?"

"You're quite understanding. But with beings like you and Beerus, whether you're alive or dead doesn't really matter, right? With just a word from you, even King Yama would obey." Goku activated his Divine Eye and placed his hand gently on Whis's shoulder.

"You're not wrong." Whis smiled faintly, his face regaining its earlier calm.

"Then... watch me from up there." Goku said. "I, Son Goku, will reach the peak of the Dominator's path."

"I'll be looking forward to it, Goku. If the Seventh Universe produces a Dominator... it will be our greatest honor." Whis smiled as he looked at Goku.

"Hmph, is that so?" Goku's hand surged with divine suction, like a black hole tearing through space, greedily absorbing Whis's energy and divine understanding.

Moments later, Goku withdrew his hand. Whis was no longer breathing. His broken body floated quietly through the void. Goku raised a hand, firing a blast of energy that completely vaporized Whis's remains—along with the body of Beerus that Whis had hidden away.

Far away on the path to the afterlife, Whis's spirit muttered to himself with a sigh, "That bastard… He actually destroyed our physical bodies. Guess coming back to life is going to be a lot harder now…"

Back on Namek, the moment Goku appeared, Taurus and Strategist came running up to him and immediately dropped to their knees, hugging one of Goku's legs, their eyes filled with worship.

"Boss! I'm begging here—you're a goddamn legend! You actually took out a Destroyer God! And his teacher, too! You're beyond insane!"

"Exactly! That was freakin' awesome! Please adopt me—please—"

Before they could finish their nonsense, Goku kicked the two idiots away. If he didn't, who knew what kind of ridiculous things they'd say next?

"Goku, seriously," Krillin said, chuckling helplessly after his initial shock. "You're practically defying the heavens now! You actually killed a God!"

"You even took down a Destroyer God... Goku, does that mean you're the new Destroyer now?" Yamcha stared at him, visibly excited. A Destroyer God! One of the universe's supreme beings! How could he not be thrilled to call such a person his friend?

Meanwhile, the Namekians were staring at Goku with eyes full of awe and reverence.

"Destroyer God, huh? That's a pretty flashy title. I guess I don't mind taking it on." Goku chuckled, then turned to Dende. "I'd like to meet with your Grand Elder. That okay?"

"O-of course! Anytime!" Dende shook his head furiously. This was the man who had just taken down the very gods of their universe—how could he possibly say no? Honestly, if the Grand Elder weren't immobile, he probably would've come to greet Goku himself.

Goku nodded, and with a flicker, his body vanished—reappearing instantly at the Grand Elder's home.

"Lord Goku! May I ask what brings you here?" Even the Grand Elder now addressed Goku with the utmost respect.

"It's nothing major. I just wanted to ask... is there a way to awaken the Dragon Balls early? I don't really feel like waiting a few more months to summon the dragon."

"Hmm... I see. The limitation exists because overusing the Dragon Balls can bring about disaster. That's why we built in the one-year cooldown between wishes... But since it's you who's asking, I suppose I can make an exception." The Grand Elder gave it a moment's thought before nodding.

"Oh, thank you! I really appreciate that!" Goku's face lit up with joy.

The Grand Elder closed his eyes. Though he said nothing aloud, his message echoed in the minds of all the village elders. In just moments, six of them arrived, each carrying a massive, stone-like Dragon Ball. Meanwhile, Nail brought out the final Dragon Ball from within the Elder's home. The seven orbs were placed in front of the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder extended his right hand, and ripples of strange energy spread over the stone Dragon Balls. Before long, the petrified surfaces began to fade, revealing the glowing, radiant orbs beneath—their true forms as the legendary Namekian Dragon Balls.

"Lord Goku, the Dragon Balls are ready. You may now make your wish." The Grand Elder spoke with utmost respect.

"Thanks." With a wave of his hand, the seven Dragon Balls floated into the air and followed Goku as he flew toward an open field.

Once he landed, Goku spoke calmly, "Come forth, Porunga."

The moment the words left his mouth, the sky instantly darkened. Porunga—the dragon of Namek—burst forth from the orbs, soaring into the sky. The sight left the Namekians wide-eyed with astonishment.

After all, summoning Porunga was supposed to require the Namekian language—but Goku had summoned him with a simple sentence, and the dragon obeyed. How could they not be shocked? But then again, considering Goku's current status, they could only nod in understanding.

"Uh… Lord Goku," Porunga rumbled with uncharacteristic reverence, "What is your wish? If it is within my power, I shall grant it."

Porunga's tone was unusually respectful. As a divine being himself, he was fully aware of Goku's feats. Even Beerus had stuttered in fear before him—how could Porunga not bow before the man who had defeated Beerus?

Goku was quite pleased with Porunga's attitude. He hadn't expected even the dragon himself to become so humble before him. Being strong really did feel good.

"My first wish," Goku said with a slight smile, "is to restore Earth to its original state."
