Staring at the emerald-green figure before him, Goku's eyes filled with astonishment. His brows furrowed slightly as he muttered,
'Space… time… the Sovereign of this world truly lives up to the name. Even in my Super Saiyan form, I'm completely suppressed…'
"You're strong," the green figure replied, his tone flat and emotionless, "but unfortunately, you've only mastered the laws of space, not those of time. And here, in my world, space and time are both under my control. You stand no chance."
As his words fell, a strange ripple flared between his brows. The figure that had been standing ahead of Goku suddenly appeared by his side. Before Goku could react, a crushing force slammed into his lower back, sending him flying once again. Just as he tried to stabilize himself, another devastating blow struck his back, hurling him further.
Within the battlefield, Goku was utterly suppressed. Each time the emerald figure appeared, Goku suffered a fierce strike. Though his senses could detect the opponent's movements, they were useless—his body could not react before being struck again.
He attempted to use the laws of space, only to discover in shock that space within this world was no longer his to command.
Here, everything was ruled by the Sovereign of this world. To grant or to strip away—it was all decided by a single thought. This was the power of a world's ruler.
Thunder rumbled through the void as terrifying shockwaves tore through the realm, even causing instability in this supposedly solid world. Black lightning streaked across the sky, carrying the might to annihilate heaven and earth, striking down upon Goku's battered figure.
Then came blazing flames, enough to burn sky and sea alike. Moments later, endless snow and frost descended, freezing all within sight. Razor-sharp wind blades tore the air apart, leaving deep, black rifts in space itself.
In the midst of these ever-changing attacks, Goku was reduced to nothing more than a living target. With space sealed, his movements were bound, leaving him seemingly powerless to resist.
Within mere moments, blood began to seep from his body—Goku had actually been wounded.
"…Heh… Not bad. Truly not bad!"
Even as lightning engulfed him, flames seared him, and storms battered his body, Goku's lips curved into a smile. Yet behind that smile burned an endless fury.
The Sovereign of this world's strength was on par with his own Super Saiyan level. However, within his own world, that ruler was absolute, wielding the laws of time and space to make Goku helpless. Yet, paradoxically, this only deepened Goku's desire for the godly position of a world's Sovereign.
Lightning danced around his body as his aura surged upward. With a roar, the space imprisoning him shattered into pieces. Freedom returned to him—this world's restraints could no longer hold him. With sheer power, he had broken all bindings.
"You've pushed me this far… I didn't expect I'd have to ascend to Super Saiyan Two just to deal with you!"

Golden energy erupted from Goku's body, crackling with thunder. His terrifying aura shook the chaotic void around him, forcing the very space itself to crumble. Within a hundred meters of him, the world fractured completely, unable to withstand his power. If not for the world's Sovereign desperately repairing the space, it would have collapsed long ago.
For the first time, even the eternally calm voice of the world's Sovereign trembled with shock:
"Incredible… Your power is so overwhelming that even my world cannot contain you. To think such an existence could exist outside the dominion of a world's ruler… Truly, your home must be a terrifying high-level martial world."
"You enjoyed striking me down earlier, didn't you? Well then—let's continue!"
With a flash, Goku appeared before his foe, his fist carrying a force strong enough to destroy worlds.
The Sovereign's calm façade finally broke. With a thought, time itself froze. Goku's punch halted midair, as though the scene had been frozen in a single frame.
Crack!
A sharp sound rang out—the power of Goku's fist shattered the time lock. His world-destroying punch smashed directly into the emerald figure's chest.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the green figure disintegrated into countless shards of light, while the shockwaves tore the entire space apart. Layer upon layer of reality fractured, on the brink of collapse.
An overwhelming will surged forth, wrapping around the chaotic void, halting the collapse and repairing it at incredible speed.
"…To think you could break my laws with sheer force. Unbelievable… A being who knows nothing of true rules, yet hones raw strength to such an extreme…"
Emerald light coalesced again, forming the same figure, glowing with the radiance of life itself—the power of vitality.
"You are powerful, but you are still not a true ruler. A ruler is sovereign because they command everything… even reincarnation itself."
With his final word, a strange power of reincarnation descended upon Goku. To his horror, he felt his life force draining at an incredible pace, as though millions of years passed in an instant. His clothing decayed into dust, leaving nothing behind.
Yet Goku's life force did not wither, nor did his appearance age.
For the first time, the world's Sovereign was shaken, disbelief coloring his voice:
"Impossible… utterly impossible! No one outside the rulers can achieve true eternity. Who are you? Why does reincarnation hold no sway over you?"
"So this is reincarnation, huh? No wonder I felt my life slipping away…" Goku's eyes glimmered with admiration as he chuckled softly. "Truly terrifying. No matter how strong one is, life eventually runs out. Unfortunately for you—I am not bound by that. I am ageless… undying… indestructible."
"Impossible! True eternity belongs only to rulers! How could you—"
His calm shattered, the Sovereign of the world fell into panic. The laws of space and time had been broken, and even reincarnation was powerless. What remained for him to fight with?
"The eternal life of a world ruler? Perhaps I don't quite qualify… But my life is endless, and that alone is eternity enough."
Goku smiled faintly, though deep down he felt great relief. He silently thanked the wish he once made to Shenron for immortality. Without it, he might truly have fallen here. The power of reincarnation was far too dreadful—it could age a being to death in an instant, regardless of strength or mastery.
"Life eternal… This is impossible… Only a ruler…" The Sovereign's voice quavered in disbelief. To lose meant the loss of everything—his rule, his world, even his very existence.
"You're just a ruler of this one world," Goku said coldly. "You've never seen what lies beyond. Now, hand over your divine seat. With it, I'll climb even higher."
The sovereign roared in defiance. Chaos surged across the realm as elemental laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning—converged into a colossal Chaos God-Spear. Inscribed with divine runes, it radiated annihilation itself.
This was his ultimate strike, born from every law of the world.
The realm shattered under its creation, dissolving into void. Darkness swallowed all, returning everything to chaos.
Feeling the destructive aura, Goku's eyes flashed with rare surprise. If he had still been only Super Saiyan One, this blow could have killed him outright.
"The ruler of a world truly is extraordinary… Like a creator god of this realm. I wonder just how powerful the ruler of the Dragon Ball world must be…"
The Chaos Spear descended with unstoppable force, ignoring distance. In an instant, it pierced toward Goku's chest.
With a frown, Goku unleashed his golden aura, catching the spear in his bare hands. The weapon pulsed with annihilation and the law of reincarnation, seeking to erode him completely.
But with a roar, Goku's golden energy flared. His overwhelming might tore through the divine runes. The clash of golden energy and world laws erupted into a cataclysmic explosion, shaking the entire world to ruin.
"Heh… So this is your ultimate strike? Nothing more than this?"
With a defiant laugh, Goku held the Chaos Spear aloft. In the horrified gaze of the emerald figure, he hurled it back.
The spear became a streak of light, piercing through the Sovereign's chest. His body shattered, erased by its own power.
"This… cannot be…"
His voice echoed through the void, fading into nothingness. The Sovereign of a world had fallen.
---
The chaos faded. The supreme will that had blanketed the land dissolved.
On the continent below, countless beings were left in confusion, uncertain of what had transpired.
In the endless void, darkness reigned. Yet amid that emptiness floated a lone figure, cloaked in golden aura—Goku, shining like a beacon of light against the void.
Before him hovered a basketball-sized emerald orb, radiating the glow of life itself, inscribed with countless runes—the very embodiment of a world's laws.
