The Fate of the Universe [Lagerus/Whis]

"You know I don't know why I still feed you... it's not like we need an oracle fish."
Whis sighed as he unceremoniously dumped food into the oracle fish's tank. He didn't understand why Lords Beerus and Lagerus where so attached to this thing. While Whis couldn't predict the future in the same way the Oracle fish could, he didn't see the need for it. Perhaps it was just in their natures, being feline like creatures.

He was busily at work taking care of the chores when a sudden 'zing' was felt at the back of his mind. He raised an eyebrow as he extended his hand. His staff appeared there and he peered into the orb, another sigh escaping his lips as the images of Lord Ale and Vados appeared there.

"It seems things are unfurling faster then I had hoped... this doesn't bode well. I best wake up Lord Lagerus."
He spoke to himself, extending his hand once more and the staff disappeared. With that he would make his way towards his lords chambers. There he would find Lord Lagerus lying curled up in bed. One would expect a look of calm to be upon the god's face as she slept, but instead there was just a look of irritation. He knew very well why, and to wake up an angry, sleeping deity would be a death sentence to anyone else but him.

"Lord Lagerus, unfortunately it's time for you to wake up once more"
With the wave of his hand, a single large bomb would go off just above Lord Lagerus' bed, showering the deity with debris.

@lordlagerus

Lagerus' eyes traveled to Vados whenever she addressed Whis in such a disrespectful tone but held her tongue, instead turning her gaze back the the smaller god in front of her. Lord ale... he was like the little Chihuahua of gods... Tiny body, large ego. She'd met him before of course, millennia earlier when both of them were much much younger... but something irked her about the way that he addressed her and how he pinned all of this on her shoulders.

"That's quite rude you know, you come into my universe only to accuse me of having failed it? Honestly these moronic mortals can't see beyond their greed. Did you know I've had to NOT destroy planets just to try and keep a higher mortal level? I mean really... what kind of a destroyer god tried not to destroy..."
She complained, stuffing her hands into her pockets as she looked over the smaller god, her eyes narrowing him on him now as if she were a predator staring down her prey. Though as small as Ale was, he was hardly the terrified rabbit she like to imagine him being.

"Now, I doubt you came here to gloat about how much better your universe is doing. So Ale, why are you waking me up from my nap?"
She asked seriously, almost tauntingly. Ever since she had been awoken originally, Lagerus was in an extremely foul mood, and it definitely showed in the way she spoke to her fellow god.

There was an unsettling presence in the back of the grand supreme kai's head... Diana had been in the middle of contemplating things on her new student when this culmination of forces came to a strange point. Lagerus's planet? Was she awakened? It hadn't even been a year since she last opened her eyes. She was still suppose to be sleeping, yes? Maybe the GoD and Whis decided that the mortals had enough and would end the trouble makers as they were all gathered in close proximity... The horned kaioshin would sigh and lift her stave and tap it several times to the ground of the kai's own planet.

"Kai kai."
She muttered to herself was instantly appeared almost to the ground immediate right. Her mind immediately jumped to conclusions. To lagerus, she'd bow her head respectfully, seeing as she was awakened prematurely.

"Lord Lagerus. Is everything alright here? These people..."
She'd raise her head to meet the gaze of similarly clad Ale and Vados, scratching her chin at their appearance here and gently leaning towards the stave at her side. The tall woman looked down to them all and tilted her head. Diana had no clue why outsiders were here just yet. Surely they'd been given more time to settle this universal infighting before outsiders had to get involved. Lax and chill as the hands off kaioshin was, she'f peer between them all. Listen to Ale's latter words that she had come jut in time to hear. Her large ears drooping a bit at the sort of news he'd give.

"I cannot speak for my kin, as they can meddle with the mortals of their own volition. You'll have to excuse me though, as I have a bit of respect for my mortal's sense of freedom and self will. As much as, in the end, none of them matter in that way... Not to the priest and king of all. Our universe has never been the most successful on that mortal level, but I'd argue its the most liberating in a way... None of us can understand. I've left the mortals to their own devices for millions of years and never before has this been an issue like it is now."
She cleared her throat and leaned back off the stave, fluttering her eyes at Whis and Lagerus.

"If this is the fate of what our universes must go through to survive, then maybe the mortals shall reap what they sow with this imbalance. If they are to be forced into a Tournament of Power... Then it has been of their own doing. I value their ability to choose over my own ability to enforce godly government over their action. I cannot guarantee they will understand the 'increase mortal level' message even if we win. They've been stubborn and self destructive recently. Hopefully, my first guardian will help mend that and get it through their people's heads."
This could be treading the hard line between corruption to some Kaioshin, but really she has gotten results. Their universe had been up for quite a long time and only know is threatened with this erasure. The kaiju tree hadn't disowned her either...

With a flash of interest another energy came to pass as a crimson slice cut through the fabric of existence itself. The worm hold that could breach most barriers in this universe. A small boy stepping through only chuckling wearing white cloth upon his body standing small on four foot five. Not nearly as tall as they may have remembered him. His power not yet figured how to morph his body more freely again. Still working on mutating his physical form with techniques but for now stuck in this form. Although he did not truly seemed trouble by it. His acts in hell as well as earth had not changed and were still as dark and desire driven as ever. Only done with a much more innocent face now. He'd step forth on the small planet as no heaven or earth was free from his foot steps now. "The universe has been a place of weakness for some time. Children abandoned by mothers. Starving planets that give way to their own false gods and cultures. Genocide around each corner and horrors as well as hungers, sickness, no child should live through being the usual life for over ninety percent of the known galaxy. You creatures if you truly think this galaxy deserves anything but being wiped out of existence you really haven't been paying attention. I've had my fun with this universe but even my deeds pale in comparison to what it's done to itself. Creation through destruction? One cannot exist without the other so perhaps its fate... Maybe this all should be destroyed so something new can take its place." Snapping his fingers as a much more ornamental set of table and finery appeared filled with delights and treats that exceeded what the universe was normally capable of. Caesar had himself honed his creation to be far more powerful then most if not all his 'peers'. Strange little creatures like tiny demons spawned from his magic as well ready to serve food. However if they were ignored he'd suck the life from them with a snap of his fingers just as easily as he summoned them. Perhaps another sign to how meaningless life truly was to men and gods alike.

Falling back as if to sit in a chair that wasn't there one poofing into existence just as it did so. The appearance of it as golden and incrested in jewels enough to put most earthly kings to shame. "Its truly humorous to feel such a gathering. Beings of power flock together to finally take action when their own lives might be at risk it seems? Do not act like my eyes and ears are not everywhere. Your oni and ogres are hardly the kind to keep lips closed when I control half of them out of fear and power. But really... What fate does a universe deserve when it takes their own preservation to finally bring them all together. I may be a disease but this universe was long ago just a corpse already eaten away at by the cancer that is its people as well as its godly protectors. I find it fitting now that all even those up here where its nice and heavenly... wonder if that counts as a pun... But anyway now maybe that the risk and danger reaches you all as well you finally see how rotten the galaxy came to be long before even the current set of issues arose. Even if Its not my hand that is set to rebuild it the destruction of our time for whats become of this universe in the history long since ignored by 'gods' makes it deserved of the destruction possibly coming its way. Just as hell fire purifies the wicked... May the kings above us purify this universe with their fire!" The small boy smiling as he formed a bottle of wine that floated in the air pouring into a chalice that materialized in his hand. Drinking it down quite happily chugging an amount of wine filling it three times the amount normally would have been far too much for a mortal human of his size. "Although I'm sure yes the crutch of the mortals you've let down even the pain I went through before I tore godhood for myself from the world that failed me. Suuuure use the mortals as a crutch now it sounds like.
I could dive further into this weakened supreme wannabes mind for more info but its clear enough. Let the mortals protect themselves after you failed them all. Just know... If you somehow defy this... An you do turn whatever is comings tide.
I'll make sure for everyone mortal blood spilled and you defying what needs to happen I'll destroy one weaker shin for every mortal lost and devour a fruit as well from that great tree. And sacrifice a hundred oni's as well souls included for each drop of mortal blood lost for your whining and failure to protect your own universe." Pouring the cup out on the table as crimson wine poured along the table. The thick fluid took a moment before the smell made it more clear it was alcohol infused blood and not wine at all. "Know I have no intention to stop your preparations if you wish to aid this... But I'll ensure if you some how stop whats coming the gods will pay for their failure to guide the universe. If the 'mortals' earn their victories. The kai's, oni's, and all others that hide up here will pay the price for what they lose and have to go through. They will grow again as you said if they come to understand. An you will be punished for allowing it to come to this. Unless Lagerus wishes to try and banish me again of course? Although... Just like this universe to her and you kai's... It'll be action taken far too late yet again. But you all seem to take the better late then never approach to its most extreme severity." Shooting them a grin as he refilled his chalice after staining the table and the ground. Not allowing them to know and letting them figure out for themselves each delight, treat, and drink, upon the table was organic matter salvaged from war and broken corners of the galaxy with the aid of his magic power. This was divine justice he sensed coming. An he desired it to destroy it all even himself it needed. Just like the circle of life and death things would restore to balance with something new rising after. Just like nature as he felt a bit of Shizen stir within him perhaps. But if they stopped it... The gods would not be forgiven so easily. Perhaps it was a bit preachy and flashy of a entrance with a dash of theatrics. But when in his time from poverty and smuggling to kingship even to god hood had Jarvis ever not put on a flashy show. Who knew this... tournament of power he felt around in the horned ones head about felt interesting. He may have sent a few to test in it himself. But fate would ensure someone paid for this when it was said in done. When this was done he'd be sure to return to earth... He could feel the powers stirring bellow and would let them subside. The spirit that waited down there now he had no intention of igniting into fury. That one was one he planned to allow to do as it pleased until the day it was ready to accept death like many other souls that once stood far more powerful then those that existed today now weary souls of accepted end in the corners of heaven and hell. As all mortals and gods eventually became.

Mayuri raised an eyebrow at Diana's comments about Fusion and themselves, before shrugging and just giving an erstwhile smirk. "None taken." they said. "Just figured that whilst observing and guidance are one thing, sometimes a hand in the right direction is needed now and then." they admitted when it came to the two Kaioshin's differing styles when it came to handling the universe and its mortal inhabitants. "And mortals lately don't take much notice unless you're able to keep up with them in the physical sense at times." they said before they felt something approaching.

"Oh crap." muttered Mayuri as none other than the abomination Jarvis made their appearance, and began to spout and mouth off towards not just one, but both Gods Of Destruction. The Potara Fusion Supreme Kai of the East decided that the safest place would probably be somewhere in the rear vicinity of Lords Lagerus and Ale. Whilst Jarvis spoke, Mayuri began to shuffle themselves into a position that was out of any direct firing lines. No sense in getting accidentally destroyed in the process if worse came to worse. To make matters worse, Diana was getting in on the verbal tirade, admittedly aiming hers towards Jarvis. "Supreme Grand Kai, I wouldn't advise that... in our experience, words don't hold that much sway with this one." they said, drawing from the memories of both Mar and the Saiyan Kyuri.

When Whis however removed their godly powers from them, and Lord Ale and his own Angel returned to their universe, Mayuri felt they could speak freely now regarding the tournament. "The real problem here Lord Lagerus, is that the strongest fighters in our universe would as soon as destroy one another as band together to save the universe from destruction. Saiyan Pride, as well as a lot of bad blood and history sits between them." the Eastern Kaioshin explained to the God of Destruction, rubbing the back of their own head. "A flaw that the other Universe could exploit and use to their advantage..." they said before looking towards the now de-deified Jarvis.

"And just an FYI, if this universe gets destroyed, you're gone as well. Even if you defected or fled to another universe, you'd still be erased... and there's no returning from being erased from existence. You wouldn't get to feel any of your vindication or supposed justice at the action either." they said towards Jarvis, hoping that none of the other deities here would make mention of the one way for something to come back from being erased... admittedly that would require another universe to do so on their behalf, and quite frankly Mayuri doubted that such assistance would be so forthcoming.
