Above Goku's head, space suddenly shattered apart. From the void descended countless divine chains covered in eerie runes. These chains radiated a chilling aura that seemed capable of judging all things—and sealing everything!
At that moment, heaven and earth resonated as a terrifying supreme will descended upon Goku. To his shock, he realized his body had been completely bound. Even with his current strength, he could not break free in the slightest! For the first time, a hint of astonishment flashed across his otherwise calm eyes.
The chains slithered through the void like serpents, binding Goku tightly until he could not move at all. The runes upon the chains flickered ominously, unleashing a sealing power so overwhelming that Goku's energy began to vanish at an alarming speed.
Sealed!
Goku raised his head to the heavens, and a proud, arrogant smile curved across his lips.
"So, you've finally shown yourself? …The Chains of Order? The Will of this World? Or something else? No matter what you are—do you really think you can drive me out of this realm? You truly believe that's possible?"

Majestic heavenly might swept across the land. All beings trembled and knelt, even the grass, trees, and flowers bent as though possessing souls of their own.
Ancient powerhouses like Gu Yuan and the others collapsed to their knees along the mountainside. These were beings who stood at the pinnacle of the world, yet instead of feeling humiliated, they were overwhelmed with awe.
This will… it was as if the heavens themselves had descended! Whether Saint or Emperor, any living creature born in this world felt as insignificant as an ant before it, incapable of raising the slightest resistance.
He was like the master of this world, ruling over everything within it. To kneel before such a presence felt like the natural order of things—an instinct that came from the soul itself, leaving no room for defiance.
"What kind of existence is this? To make every being kneel willingly, without resistance… what in the world are we facing…?" Gu Yuan's heart quaked with doubt and fear. To remain conscious, yet still kneel willingly, even feeling it was only right—that was terrifying beyond imagination.
"Your existence… threatens the balance of this realm. Return to where you came from—or be destroyed!"
A thunderous voice rolled across the skies, echoing in every corner of the continent. Every soul bowed in reverence, compelled by instinct.
"Everything in this world possesses spirit, even grass and trees… Could it be… you are a consciousness born from this world itself?"
Goku's gaze pierced the sky, eyes clouded with primordial chaos, as though seeing through illusions. Within a distant void, he glimpsed a cluster of emerald light radiating boundless vitality.
"I am this world itself… I am its Sovereign. To guard this world is to guard myself. Your presence threatens its very existence. Those who would destroy this realm… must either be banished—or annihilated!"
The words resounded once more, and with a mere thought, a massive black hole tore open behind Goku, its darkness so absolute it seemed intent on pulling in his very soul.
"This… this is the Sovereign of the World?! Impossible!" The countless beings across the land were struck dumb. Could it be that the one who ruled over all laws and order truly existed? That he alone governed everything within this realm?
"The Sovereign of this World…? So this world actually has such a being…" Zhu Kun stared at the sky in disbelief, eyes wide as Goku's figure was dragged toward the abyss. "What kind of man could provoke even the Sovereign into action? Even with all his power… could he possibly withstand such an existence?"
"This is truly astounding… such a being exists…"
Gu Yuan muttered with deep regret as he watched. "Such a mighty warrior… only to be banished by the Sovereign of the World. What a pity…"
"From ancient times until now, no one has ever heard of such a Sovereign… and yet, he appears today, because of this man…" Yan Jin's voice trembled with awe.
"A pity indeed… such a warrior is about to vanish from this world."
All across Central Plains, the mighty sighed in regret. None believed Goku could contend with such absolute authority.
But then—
A wild, arrogant laugh erupted, echoing across the Sky.
"Hahaha~~~ The Sovereign of the World! Interesting… far too interesting! To think this world hides such an existence… Good! Excellent! Hahaha!"
The laughter was followed by an overwhelming golden aura that surged outward from the abyss, shattering the void and shaking the continent itself.
"What?!" Even the Sovereign let out a startled murmur.
The Chains of Order shattered instantly, their metallic clang piercing the air. And before the stunned gazes of countless beings, a golden figure bathed in divine energy slowly emerged from the abyss.
The chains reformed, lashing through space like countless serpents, once again wrapping themselves around him.
"With tricks like these, you think to bind me? Aren't you underestimating me far too much?"
With a cold snort, Goku's golden aura flared violently. The countless chains burst apart once again, scattering into nothingness.
A weary sigh resounded, and the black hole snapped shut in an instant, as though trying to sever him from this world entirely.
Yet within ten meters of Goku, space itself froze. The void could not close, overwhelmed by a power that had surpassed the limits of this realm.
Before countless disbelieving eyes, the golden figure stepped out of the abyss. His golden hair blazed, his aura raged, and his sharp, cold eyes pierced the Sky.
"This aura… it rivaled the Sovereign's own!"
"Impossible! Could anyone truly contend with the Sovereign of a world?"
Goku raised his head to the skies, his voice calm yet dripping with arrogance:
"You… are impressive."
Then, with a single step, his figure vanished.

In a chaotic void, an emerald light floated eternally.
A golden figure appeared, his aura blazing with divine radiance, lighting the endless darkness around him.
"So… you are the will this world birthed into being?" Goku asked with curiosity as he stared at the emerald cluster of light.
"I never expected you could enter this space. Remarkable," came a crisp, airy voice from within the light. Strangely, it was clear and melodious—so different from the ancient, majestic voice that had spoken before.
Goku raised a brow in surprise, then let his energy surge.
"My name is Son Goku… I am the new God of Destruction. Sovereign of this World—fight me!"
"Your dimensional level is extraordinarily high… You are not of this realm. Hard to believe that someone like you is not already a Sovereign yourself. It seems the world you come from must be a dimension beyond imagination. Tell me… did you come here to seize this world's Throne of Divinity?"
"The Throne of Divinity? What's that?" Goku asked, his curiosity piqued by the Sovereign's words.
"You truly don't know? Then why have you come to this world?" The Sovereign's voice was utterly calm, showing no trace of emotion from beginning to end.
"I came here… simply for fun."
"To cross dimensions, enter my world, and claim it is only for play? Hmph. It seems you truly know nothing. In that case, let me explain it to you."
"Every dimension, every world, has a supreme Sovereign. They govern everything within that realm. And if one defeats a Sovereign, they may take their place—claiming the Throne of Divinity and ruling over that world in its entirety."
"Oh? A Sovereign of the World… so that's what it is…" Goku's eyes lit up instantly. His thoughts turned to the Dragon Ball universe, and his anticipation grew stronger. "So that means… even the Dragon Ball world has a Sovereign of its own? Just how powerful would such a being be? Haha~~~ It looks like I still have a long road of training ahead!"
Turning his gaze back to the Sovereign, Goku smiled faintly.
"So, if I defeat you… I take your place, and gain control of this world. Is that right?"
"Yes." The Sovereign answered without hesitation. "So then… do you wish to challenge me?"
"Oh? From your tone, you sound quite confident," Goku remarked with a raised brow, staring at the emerald light before him.
"My world… my rule. Now… do you still wish to challenge me?"
"My world, my rule…? Hah, that line is dripping with arrogance. Very well, then—your Throne of Divinity… I'll be taking it!" Battle spirit blazed in Goku's eyes as his aura surged wildly. This so-called Throne of Divinity had thoroughly captured his interest.
"Then let us begin."
As the cold, indifferent words faded, a humanoid figure of emerald light suddenly emerged. With a casual wave of its hand, space itself shattered and twisted, forming countless rifts. From these fissures shot blades of spatial energy, slashing directly toward Goku!
"You really don't waste time, huh?" Goku chuckled softly. His figure flickered, effortlessly dodging the deadly storm of space blades. In the same instant, his golden ki flared as he flashed forward, his fist blazing with power as it hurtled toward the emerald figure's face.
But just as the blow was about to land, Goku's body froze in midair. His eyes widened in shock as he struggled with all his strength—yet could not move at all!
In that instant, the emerald figure appeared before him. Carrying a terrifying ripple of spatial energy, its fist slammed forward without mercy!
Boom!
Goku felt a tremendous force crash against his chest, leaving him breathless as his expression filled with astonishment. Even as his body was blasted backward, he lashed out with a swift kick.
Yet the strike found nothing but empty air. The figure that had been directly in front of him vanished, reappearing at his side. With a lightning-fast whip kick, it sent Goku flying once more, his body tumbling through the void for hundreds of meters before he finally managed to stabilize himself.
