"Lord Supreme Kai Shin…"
In the Sacred World of the Kais,
Jeice stood respectfully before Supreme Kai Shin.
"What is it, Jeice?"
Shin slowly opened his eyes.
Young in appearance, his gaze held centuries of weariness.
Currently, only Shin and Jeice resided in the Sacred World.
The other four Kais had perished due to Majin Buu.
The Seventh Universe was fractured.
"I sensed an unfamiliar divinity on a planet called Earth…"
"Should we investigate?"
Jeice said hesitantly.
"Unfamiliar divinity?"
"A new god born in the universe?"
Shin was puzzled.
Due to the severed lineage of the Sacred World,
He barely knew his duties.
Even his daily responsibilities were half-forgotten.
"Indeed, I'm a bit concerned."
"That divinity is powerful."
Jeice's eyes betrayed worry.
The fleeting power felt overwhelming.
Unlike anything he'd encountered.
"Let's take a look."
Shin said calmly.
Only Majin Buu, millennia ago, had ever daunted him.
As a Supreme Kai, even in his weakened state, he boasted roughly ten billion in combat power.
Universe Emperor Frieza was a mere ant to him.
With Jeice, Shin teleported to Earth.
As a Supreme Kai, he could instantly reach any planet in the lower realms.
"This is Earth?"
"A beautiful planet."
Shin sensed its climate, ecology, and environment.
"But its martial strength is low."
"Below the universe's passing grade."
He sighed.
A lovely planet,
But its power was negligible.
Even if it birthed a god, how strong could it be?
A planetary god at best... thousands, maybe tens of thousands in combat power.
Shin felt he might be overreacting.
"Since we're here, let's check."
Jeice frowned.
He doubted his senses.
But shook off the thought.
His perception was never wrong.
It'd be a planetary inspection.
Shin and Jeice wandered Earth's cities aimlessly.
At the Lookout, Kami gasped heavily,
Sensing something monumental.
"What are they?"
"High-ranking gods?"
Kami stared downward, terrified.
The immense divinity and power
Were unbelievable.
Far beyond King Yama.
"Possibly stronger than Lord Kai."
Kami thought silently.
He desperately wanted to know which high god had come to Earth.
"Earth's god is a Namekian?"
Shin, sensing something, looked skyward.
Surprised.
"Indeed, a Namekian Dragon Clan member."
"But incomplete... a half-being."
Jeice also sensed Kami.
They didn't care.
Kami was strong on Earth.
But to Shin, he was an ant.
Without divine authority,
He'd be beneath notice.
"Let's ask Earth's god."
"Since you sensed foreign divinity."
Shin and Jeice teleported to the Lookout.
"Welcome, exalted gods, to Earth."
Kami bowed low.
Caution was wise before such power.
"Greetings, Earth's god."
"I'm Supreme Kai Shin, from the Sacred World of the Kais. This is my attendant, Jeice."
At Shin's introduction, Kami's knees buckled, nearly collapsing.
A Supreme Kai... the pinnacle of creation gods.
"Why has Lord Supreme Kai come to Earth?"
Kami asked cautiously.
"We sensed a foreign god on Earth."
"His divinity is unique."
"Unlike anything we've felt."
"We're here to learn if you've seen this new god."
Shin's tone was gentle.
Kami instantly knew he meant Kaiser.
"Lord Supreme Kai, I know who you're referring to."
"It's tied to me, in a way."
Kami shared Kaiser's origin.
"Oh?"
"A god from another universe?"
Shin was surprised.
Due to the Sacred World's broken lineage, he knew little of other universes.
"When Majin Buu struck, the Grand Supreme Kai and others fell too suddenly."
"I, a novice Supreme Kai, was thrust into the role, unaware of many secrets."
"Now, another world's god is here."
Shin sank into thought.
Kami and Mr. Popo, seeing his silence, grew anxious.
"Let's go, Jeice. We'll meet this foreign god."
Snapping out of his reverie, Shin spoke.
"Thank you for the information."
With a nod, Shin vanished from the Lookout.
"Sigh, I don't know if Shenron bringing Kaiser here is good or bad."
As Shin left, Kami sighed helplessly.
Kaiser felt more dangerous than Shin.
If Shin faced trouble…
This universe might spiral into chaos.
"Earth is vibrant, highly civilized."
Shin and Jeice arrived at Bulma's doorstep in West City.
Jeice marveled at the bustling beings.
Such advanced societies were rare in their universe,
Where individual martial power defined evolution.
"Who are you?"
Bulma opened her door, spotting two strangers outside.
Curious, she asked, "Who are you?"
"Miss Bulma, we're here for Kaiser."
Supreme Kai Shin offered a polite smile.
"Huh?"
"For Kaiser? Are you his friends?"
Bulma was surprised.
Kaiser, summoned by Shenron, hadn't been here long... already friends?
They didn't look like Earthlings.
"Something like that. We'd like to discuss matters with Mr. Kaiser."
Bulma nodded. "Follow me."
"He's training."
Still a naive girl, Bulma didn't overthink it.
In the Gravity Chamber,
Kaiser meditated under 500x gravity.
His Ki progressed rapidly.
But he sensed a clear ceiling.
"A human limit?"
"Or a rule of this world?"
"Even across universes, there's a cap?"
Kaiser frowned, probing his Ki.
"Hm?"
His divine vision swept outward, spotting an unexpected figure.
"Supreme Kai Shin, coming for me?"
"Intriguing."
Kaiser was surprised.
Shutting off the Gravity Chamber, he felt his body lighten.
The door opened, and he stepped out.
"God of another realm?"
"Supreme Kai?"
Shin and Kaiser locked eyes.
"What do you want?"
Bulma sensed tension, stepping in front of Kaiser.
She regretted bringing them in.
"It's fine. They're… friends."
"I'm craving dinosaur meat tonight."
Kaiser patted Bulma's head,
Gently dismissing her.
"You sure it's okay?"
Bulma's wide eyes met his.
"Fine. We'll eat together later."
Kaiser smiled.
Bulma hesitated, then left.
"You know us?"
Shin was surprised. He hadn't walked the mortal realm in millennia.
Even his creation duties were on hold.
Yet this foreign god knew him.
"Somewhat."
"Since arriving, I've seen glimpses."
"You're not worried Beerus will cause trouble for wandering?"
Kaiser grinned at Shin.
"Beerus?"
Shin froze. He didn't know of a Destroyer god.
"The Majin Buu incident must've severed your divine lineage badly."
"Can you take me to the Sacred World of the Kais?"
Kaiser asked Shin.
"Lord Supreme Kai!"
Jeice's face tightened, about to protest.
That was the universe's holiest ground.
Even the Grand Kai couldn't step there.
This foreign god daring to request access was unthinkable.
Shin glanced at Jeice, silencing him.
A mere attendant had no say.
"Of course."
Shin sensed Kaiser knew much.
That was valuable.
The trio's forms flickered.
They reappeared in the Sacred World of the Kais.
"Such potent divinity."
"This is the Sacred World?"
"How does it compare to Saint Seiya's Celestial Realm?"
Kaiser scanned the surroundings.
Both the Sacred World and Destroyer Realm
Appeared as planets in Dragon Ball.
But in distinct dimensional spaces.
Much like Saint Seiya's Celestial Realm.
Ordinary beings couldn't reach such planes.
"What's your divine domain?"
Shin was curious.
He sensed divinity in Kaiser, but it wasn't strong.
Kaiser seemed human, on the path to godhood.
"Time and space…"
"But our world's gods differ from yours."
Kaiser searched for the Kai Sword.
Shin's visit was unexpected,
But it sparked a thought.
If anyone in Dragon Ball could unlock his potential,
It was the Old Kai.
"So, you came to the Sacred World with a purpose?"
Shin saw Kaiser searching.
He sensed no malice.
Instead, he felt Kaiser's benevolence and radiant divinity.
This being wasn't evil.
"The Kai Sword."
"It holds the Sacred World's legacy."
Kaiser was blunt.
"You know too much."
Shin was stunned. The Sacred World's greatest secret, spoken by an outsider.
"Follow me."
Shin wanted to know what the Kai Sword hid.
As a divine artifact passed down through generations,
He'd studied it long.
But couldn't draw it.
No method worked.
Now, with hope, he was willing to try.
Jeice stayed wary of Kaiser.
An outsider in the Sacred World, knowing the Kai Sword?
The trio landed on a mountain.
"Here's the Kai Sword."
"If you can unlock its secrets, try."
Kaiser approached the blade, embedded in the rock.
Heavy. Immensely heavy.
Huff!
Taking a deep breath,
Cosmos surged within Kaiser.
Golden light spilled forth.
The Sacred World's sky darkened.
The Zodiac Constellations blazed across the heavens.
"What is this?"
"Such immense power!"
Supreme Kai Shin and Jeice stared at Kaiser, awestruck.
Despite differing systems, they sensed danger... extreme danger.
"This man might surpass Majin Buu."
Shin silently compared Kaiser to the demon.
Boom!
The mountain collapsed as Kaiser drew the Kai Sword from the rock.
"What incredible weight."
"What's this made of?"
Kaiser hefted the blade.
He was stunned.
By mass alone, it rivaled a star.
But he didn't hesitate.
A Holy Sword formed in his right hand.
With a single swing...
Clang!
The Kai Sword shattered.
"Damn it! What are you doing?"
Shin and Jeice's faces paled.
The Sacred World's mightiest blade, broken so easily by Kaiser.
Shock mixed with fury.
If not for his overwhelming power, they might've attacked.
"I never thought I'd see the light again."
An unfamiliar voice came from behind Shin and Jeice.
"Who?!"
They spun, startled.
An ancient figure in divine garb stood before them.
His immense divinity proclaimed his identity.
"Lord Old Kai."
"Pleased to meet you."
Kaiser responded politely.
"You freed me?"
Old Kai eyed Kaiser, surprise flickering in his gaze.
He sensed something unusual.
"A mortal ascending to godhood. You're on a remarkable path."
"But your divinity isn't from our universe."
"Nor the eighteen universes."
Old Kai, though eccentric, knew much.
"A correction... only twelve universes remain."
Kaiser's words jolted Old Kai. He closed his eyes for three seconds, then opened them.
"So much time has passed?"
Calculating his sealed years, Old Kai sighed.
"Who are you?"
Shin asked cautiously.
"The Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago."
Old Kai glanced at Shin with disdain.
A subpar Supreme Kai.
"Fifteen generations?"
Shin froze. Supreme Kais lived eons.
Barring accidents, they endured millions, even billions of years.
Fifteen generations meant billions of years ago.
"Young man, for freeing me, I'll grant you one condition."
"And you came for me, didn't you?"
Old Kai ignored Shin, focusing on Kaiser.
"Correct. I seek your aid to unlock my potential."
Kaiser stated his goal.
