Chapter 149 - Plans in Ruin

After the Grand Priest took Fu up on his offer for a fight, Fu snapped his fingers, and a portal opened. After a few seconds, a leg appeared from the portal, and was soon followed by the rest of the body that the leg was attached to. The Grand Priest watched as a Human looking man stepped out of the portal, he was around 188cm in height with a Black curly Afro, mustache, and well-trimmed sideburns. The man wore a Red Martial Arts Gi, with a Black Karate belt wrapped around his waist, with a pair of Black baggy Martial Arts pants, and a pair of Red boots that resemble the same pair that Whis gave Goku. The man was missing his left arm, so his Martial Gi didn't completely cover his left side, and this just showcased his hairy chest, along with all the battle scars that he had accumulated over many years of battle. The Grand Priest took a few looks over the man who came before him, that many who were hardcore fans of the Dragon Ball series would spit out what ever was in their mouths at the time, after seeing the man looking at the Grand Priest. Those that knew the man would never think in a million years that he would appear in this kind of situation, or maybe they would see him in this situation, but not one he got into of his own free will, the man in question was none other than Hercule Satan.

[Hello… I am the Grand Priest… Would you mind introducing yourself?]: GP

[I know who you are… That fact is shown here with my missing left arm… But why don't you know who I am?]: hercule

[Oh?... So we have battled before?]: GP

The Grand Priest then sent his senses over Hercule, and sure enough, the Grand Priest felt his left over Energy surrounding this man, and by the looks of it, this man gave him a good fight.

[Listen here… You may have beat me once… But I have trained for this day… I will challenge you once more, and just like last time… If I win, I want to be able to use the Dragon Balls to revive my fallen Daughter and her family]: hercule

[Oh?... And why don't you use the Earth's Dragon Balls?... You do hail from Earth, yes?]: GP

[The Earth was destroyed by a powerful enemy that not even Beerus could kill… Since that day, I have trained hard… And when I heard about the Super Dragon Balls, I came here… We then made a bet]: hercule

[And why would I make a bet with you?... What do you have, that would interest me?]: GP

When Hercule heard the Grand Priest, he then started to raise his God Ki to the Max, and his once Black poofy Afro, turned Pure White, and his Afro turned into silky soft hair that fell down to his shoulder blades. Once the Grand Priest felt the energy that Hercule was giving off, he knew the reason they fought, Hercule was using Ultra Instinct, but what shocked the Grand Priest was that Hercule had a more Evolved version that gave him the eyes of an Angel. Hercule had Purple eyes instead of Silver eyes, this made Hercules Ultra Instinct on par with even the Grand Priest, but something was missing, and this was why Hercule lost to the Grand Priest of his dimension, and the Grand Priest could tell.

[Okay… I will let you use the Super Dragon Balls, but you need to beat me in a fight… Same rules as before]: GP

[I will beat you this time, for the sake of my Daughter, her Husband, and their Daughter!]: hercule

The Grand Priest then watched as Hercule charged at him with his full power, but the Grand Priest just kept his hands behind his back and dodged all of Hercule's physical attacks. Hercule's onslaught of physical attacks on the Grand Priest lasted for a couple minutes before the Grand Priest got tired of just dodging Hercule, the Grand Priest then raised his left hand, and caught Hercules only fist, while raising his right arm and blocking a kick made by Hercule's left leg.

[The last time you fought me you lost an arm, you are now thinking that just a bit more training and you could face me once more?... This fight with me now, is like the fight with me when you had two arms… Still a pointless fight, but I do like your spirit]: GP

The Grand Priest released Hercule's arm and let him retreat a few steps, Hercule then watched as the Grand Priest put his hands back behind his back, and continued to sense out Hercule with his Energy to find out the thing that Hercule lacks to make his Ultra Instinct on par with his own.

[I may have lost an arm, but I have twice the spirit now… I will win so I can reunite with my Daughter, Granddaughter, and Son-in-law!]: hercule

Hercule began his onslaught once more, attacking at the Grand Priest, and as the fight was going on, the Grand Priest saw something shocking inside of Hercule's body. This one second of shock gave Hercule the chance he needed, Hercule then hit the Grand Priest in the stomach, and sent him flying into one of the pillars that were in the room they stood in. Fu who was just hiding in a pocket of Space while watching the events unfold started to worry when the Grand Priest was not even trying, but the second the Grand Priest dropped his guard and Hercule's attack landed, he felt that the fight was won. The Grand Priest got up while coughing out a mouth full of blood while going over what just happened, Hercule had just hit him with a single punch, yet he felt like this one punch could shatter reality, this also made the Grand Priest even more curious about Hercule.

[*Cough Cough*... Tell me, what was that attack?]: GP

[... I guess I don't mind telling you… The man named Fu, the one who brought me here, he had given me this power… He told me that he can give me the strength I need to achieve my goal… But I need to follow him so that he can finish his mission… I accepted, and he gave me the power to break Reality… With one punch, I can destroy a whole Universe, and with this power I will defeat you and make my wish to the Super Dragon Balls]: hercule

[A punch that breaks Reality?... I've never heard of it, but is sure sounds interesting]: GP

The Grand Priest had fully healed and began to get serious, and the once casual face of the Grand Priest became one of someone who was on guard for even the tiniest detail. Hercule saw this and charged towards the Grand Priest once more with his fist covered in a weird Energy unknown to all, all except Fu. What nobody but Fu and the Evil Goddess knew, was that this was a special Energy gifted by the Goddess to Fu, so that he can defeat Soren, Fu's ability gave him the power to bend Reality to however he desires, but this came at a price, and that price was heavy Energy drain. So Fu decided to find the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish, but every time he tried to find one, both Whis and Vados would keep him away from them, Fu then tried different dimensions, but all of them were the same. Fu got tired of trying to find them himself, so he decided to fight the Grand Priest for them, Fu then started to gather his fighters while thinking of the best candidate to fight with the Grand Priest, and that's when he came across Hercule.

'Looks like my plan will come to fruition today… Hehehe': fu

Right as Fu thought his plan was a solid win, the Grand Priest snapped his fingers and froze Hercule in one position. The Grand Priest then began to observe Hercule before deciding what to do with him, and after a moment of thought, the Grand Priest spoke.

[You have done well… But you are still far from the top… You shouldn't worry about bringing back the dead, what makes you think that your family even wants to come back?... Think about it, if they were to come back, what would stop others who are even stronger to come looking for trouble?]: GP

[That's true, but… What about my Daughter!... I miss her dearly, and there is never a day that goes by where I wish I was just a bit stronger, strong enough to beat that demon who destroyed the Earth and Crippled Beerus… If only I had a Second Chance!]: hercule

As Hercule spoke, he clenched his fist, and tears started to fall from his face. The Grand Priest just thought of the words that Hercule stated, he then decided to help Hercule with his problem since Hercule was able to make him exert just a bit more of himself then he has ever in a very long time.

[I will give you your Second Chance then… Don't mess it up]: GP

The Grand Priest then waved his hand over Hercule, and his missing arm reappeared, and from there the Grand Priest's magic circulated throughout Hercule and located his Alternate Dimension, it then turned Hercule into a bright light before dissipating and leaving an open space. The Grand Priest's magic had brought back all the people of Earth along with healing Beerus, Hercule had opened his eyes in the once familiar room that he called home for quite some time when he lived on Earth.

[I'm back?... Was that all a dream?]: hercule

Hercule then rose from his bed and exited his room, only to smell some food being cooked in the kitchen, and when he entered the kitchen, Hercule was met with his Daughter at the stove making food for a man with spiky hair and glasses, and a baby around 2 years old sitting in a highchair.

[Baby Girl… Is this really you!?]: hercule

[Who else would it be Dad?]: videl

Hercule took no second thought before he ran over to his daughter and lifted her into a big hug, he then noticed in his torn clothes there was a letter. Hercule then placed Videl back on the ground and took the letter that was about to fall from his inner, shirt pocket, into his hands, Hercule then opened the letter and read its contents.

-Note-

This is your Second Chance, I hope you like my gift, this is for giving me some long needed entertainment… Oh, and for future advice, don't go attacking Superior beings that can kill you with a sneeze… Also don't just trust anyone who says they can give you power

-Grand Priest

Hercule was crying, he had nothing but overwhelming respect for the Grand Priest now, he then went over to his Granddaughter and picked her up while cooing at her, and then went over to Gohan, his son-in-law and began to hug him. And this was how Hercule no longer became a threat for Soren in the future, as well as Fu's plans being pushed back by a few years.

...............

Soren was back on Earth hanging out with his friends and family when he decided to check his status after the fight with Zamasu.

'Looks like I will wait out this remaining year until the ToP is decided… Until then, I should see how far everyone has progressed… I should also make Misha and Hancock improve… If my next world should be a Cultivation one, then there will definitely be dumbasses with a death wish… And I can't always be around to protect them': soren

Soren then spent the next couple months training all of his family. Killua, Gon, Zeno, and Zenith all reached SSJ4 and have almost mastered it, Soren wasn't surprised to see that all 4 of them had completely mastered SSJ3, especially after so many years training with Goku and the rest. Soren then taught Misha, Hancock, Serina, and Shannon how to improve their Ki, Misha was the fastest learner, as her Bloodline was connected to a God, and Soren felt Misha was actually absorbing God Ki, and spent some extra time with her to teach Misha how to control it.

[Misha thinks that she has it under control… Husband can go teach Hancock and the two girls]: misha

Soren then spent 4 more months training Misha, Hancock, and his two daughters, sometimes Whis would come by, and Soren would bribe him for his assistance with training the 4 girls, by which he agreed readily. Soren was even able to get Killua, Gon, Zeno, and Zenith up to True Super Saiyan Blue, Soren was feeling that the ToP was now in the bag, and they didn't need the weak fighters to participate.
