After the Tournament of Power, Goku returns to Earth, hailed as a savior of the multiverse. But whispers of a hidden truth reach him—rumors that the Gods of Destruction and the Grand Priest orchestrated the tournament not to test mortals, but to identify the biggest threats to their dominion.
Intrigued and disturbed, Goku visits Zeno's palace with Whis, seeking answers. There, he discovers a sealed chamber, guarded by divine ki. Inside, he uncovers a forbidden scroll—one that reveals a shocking truth: the Gods once feared a prophecy of a mortal Saiyan who would surpass divine power and threaten their very existence. To prevent this, they manipulated Saiyan evolution, erased ancient bloodlines, and even allowed Planet Vegeta's destruction.
