Seed of Divine Wrath

In the aftermath of the Tournament of Power, the fate of the universes was like a guttering candle in the wind, wavering uncertainly. Sun Wukong, the Saiyan once dismissed by the gods, had overturned warriors from every universe all by himself at the tournament's final moment. He had not only won the competition, but brought unprecedented prosperity to the universes. But the joy of victory did not last long, because the Gods of Destruction—those deities whose authority he had once challenged—held a fury like a brewing storm, ready to erupt.

At the edge of the universe, inside a temple formed from dark energy, the God of Destruction Beerus sat upon his throne, a dangerous light flickering in his eyes. Around him, the Gods of Destruction from the other universes had gathered, every face filled with hatred for Sun Wukong.

"He didn't just challenge our authority. He made us lose all face in front of the angels," the God of Destruction Champa said through gritted teeth, flames of vengeance burning in his eyes.

"We must make him pay," the God of Destruction Vermoud said, his voice cold and sharp. "Does he think that winning the Tournament of Power means he can sleep easy? We'll make him understand that the wrath of gods is not to be underestimated."

Beerus was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke. "We can't act against him directly. After all, the angels are watching us. But... we can find other ways to teach him a lesson."

The atmosphere in the temple grew even heavier. Every God of Destruction was thinking about how to take revenge on Sun Wukong. They knew a direct attack would draw the angels' attention, so they needed a plan—one that would make Sun Wukong suffer to the fullest while keeping themselves out of it.

"We can have some of the universe's powerful fighters challenge him," the God of Destruction Mule suggested. "We can secretly provide them with strength and turn them into Sun Wukong's enemies."

"No. That's too obvious," Beerus said, shaking his head. "We need a more subtle method. Make him fall into our trap without realizing it."

Just then, the God of Destruction Mosco put forward a plan. "We can use a legend from the universe—the 'Seed of Divine Wrath.' It is a mysterious power capable of drawing out the deepest anger and destructive desire within the universe's most powerful beings. If Sun Wukong or Vegeta is tainted by this power, he will no longer be our problem, but a threat to the entire universe."

The Gods of Destruction's eyes lit up. They knew how dangerous this plan was, but they also saw its potential. If Sun Wukong or Vegeta truly came under the control of the "Seed of Divine Wrath," then he would become an uncontrollable force and ultimately destroy himself.

"Then that's what we'll do," Beerus decided at last. "We will each return to our own universes and search for clues to the 'Seed of Divine Wrath.' Then we will quietly guide them toward those two."

And so the Gods of Destruction's plan was settled. They each left the temple and returned to their own universes, beginning the search for the legendary "Seed of Divine Wrath."

Meanwhile, on Earth, Sun Wukong had no idea that a conspiracy against him was quietly unfolding. He was still training in the gravity room, his clothes soaked with sweat, but his eyes were filled with longing for even greater power.

"Kakarot, did you feel that?" Vegeta's voice suddenly came. He stood at the entrance to the gravity room, his face carrying a trace of seriousness.

Sun Wukong stopped training and looked at Vegeta in confusion. "Feel what?"

"The balance in the universe is changing," Vegeta said. "I sensed some unusual auras. They're like the auras of Gods of Destruction."

Sun Wukong frowned. He could sense Vegeta's concern, but he did not think too deeply about it. He believed that no matter what challenge they faced, as long as he and his friends were together, nothing was impossible.

"Maybe it's just your imagination, Vegeta," Sun Wukong said with a smile. "Let's keep training. We'll get stronger and be ready to face any challenge."

Vegeta said nothing more, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. He knew some things could not be solved by simple training alone.

The Gods of Destruction discussed whether, if they found a chance to face them one-on-one, they should simply destroy them directly. Just as the Gods of Destruction were all talking at once, Beerus spoke.

"Don't you know about Sun Wukong's relationship with Grand Zeno? Are the angels beside you just living off others? If they see you destroy Sun Wukong, do you think any of us will get away with it? Just let Sun Wukong and Vegeta fend for themselves. They won't be able to control this energy."

The Gods of Destruction all expressed their agreement. After all, none of them wanted to offend Grand Zeno.
