(And then we see the Grand Priest and Zeno, who have also sensed Akumo's energy.)
(At that moment, Zeno says.)
Zeno: "Grand Priest, you must leave here immediately. Go to them and find out whose energy this truly is. They might need your help."
(Hearing this, the Grand Priest instantly departs.)
(Next, we see Daria and Cumber.)
(Daria looks extremely nervous, while Cumber says.)
Cumber: "What's the matter? Even if the Father of Saiyans has arrived here, why are you so afraid?"
(Hearing this, Daria shouts.)
Daria: "Shut up! Do you even know who the Father of Saiyans is... and what he is to me? We've fought once before but calling it a fight would be wrong... he only beat me down mercilessly. If I face him again, he will try to kill me."
(He continues.)
Daria: "That's why—we need to find the rest of our allies as soon as possible."
(We see that after saying this, Daria and Cumber start moving forward quickly.)
(Just then, they spot Goku in the distance.)
(Seeing him, both Daria and Cumber look slightly surprised but Goku doesn't pay any attention to them at all and continues walking straight ahead with determination.)
(Seeing this, Cumber looks confused and says.)
Cumber: "What's going on with that Saiyan? That was him, right? But... why does he seem so different now?"
(To this, Daria, without stopping, replies.)
Daria: "Forget it. Hurry up we need to find our allies first. If he's changed this much... it means he must have sensed the Father of Saiyans energy too."
(After saying this, both Daria and Cumber quickly rush forward, disappearing into the distance.)
(Right after that, we see the Grand Priest moving swiftly toward Vegeta and the others.)
(As he flies, the Grand Priest says to himself.)
Grand Priest: "I don't know why, but the energy I just sensed... whoever it belongs to is unbelievably powerful. And if it's who I'm thinking of... then the danger approaching this multiverse is far beyond anything we've ever imagined."
(We see the Grand Priest flying faster and faster and just then, a figure rushes past him at incredible speed, crossing his path in an instant.)
(Seeing this, the Grand Priest is completely shocked.)
(He says.)
Grand Priest: "Who was that...? That speed... it was unbelievable. Even I couldn't see him... and I'm the Grand Priest!"
(Just then, a voice echoes around him.)
???: "Grand Priest... you know, don't you? Even though you're an Angel, you've never once been able to perceive my true speed."
(Hearing this voice, the Grand Priest's eyes widen in shock.)
Grand Priest: "No... this can't be... It can't be you... Are you really... Akumo?!"
(And right at that moment, Akumo suddenly appears before the Grand Priest, standing there face-to-face.)
(Seeing Akumo, the Grand Priest is completely stunned, and then Akumo says.)
Akumo: "It's been a long time since we last met, Grand Priest. So... how have you been?"
(Watching this, the Grand Priest becomes nervous, and without hesitation, he launches a direct attack on Akumo.)
(But Akumo easily dodges the Grand Priest's attack and calmly says.)
Akumo: "What's gotten into you, Grand Priest? I don't wish to fight you... not right now. Maybe you don't realize it yet, but there are many after me... and I intend to end all of them within this multiverse itself. For now... I'll let you go."
(Hearing this, the Grand Priest says.)
Grand Priest: "Akumo... how are you even here? How did you return to this timeline? You... you were supposed to have died millions of years ago!"
(After saying this, the Grand Priest once again launches an attack on Akumo, but this time Akumo powers up, easily dodging the attack.)
(Akumo then says with a cold glare.)
Akumo: "You already know, Grand Priest... you can't defeat me. So stop this foolishness right now... or I'll erase you here and now, permanently. Perhaps you don't realize it yet... but my power has grown far beyond what it used to be... understood?"
(We see that just then, Akumo launches an attack at the Grand Priest.)
(The Grand Priest tries to block it, but suddenly, Akumo appears behind him and lands a powerful punch.)
(This time, the Grand Priest is unable to defend himself and is sent flying far away from the force of the blow.)
(Akumo smirks and says.)
Akumo: "What a shame, Grand Priest. The ones you were going to protect... by the time you reach them, they might already be gone. But for now, I have many other things to take care of, so I won't waste any more time playing with you. But don't worry... I'll see you soon, and that's a promise."
(With those words, Akumo vanishes from the scene.)
(Seeing all this, the Grand Priest is completely shocked, and he says.)
Grand Priest: "No... Akumo... but how is this possible? How is he back... how could he have survived in this multiverse for all these millions of years? How?"
(His expression darkens as he realizes the implications.)
Grand Priest: "And if he has returned... that means the others will definitely follow. I must inform lord Zeno and everyone else about this immediately..."
(But just as he says this, the Grand Priest, overwhelmed by his injuries and the shock, collapses and falls unconscious on the spot.)
(After that, we see Goku continuing to move forward, his mind completely focused on the Father of Saiyans.)
(As he keeps going, he speaks to Kaguya.)
Goku: "Hey, how am I supposed to recognize him? When the Father of Saiyans appears before me, how will I know it's him? Tell me, Kaguya."
(To this, Kaguya replies.)
Kaguya: "There's no need for me to tell you how to recognize the Father of Saiyans, Goku. Because the moment he appears in front of you, you'll know immediately. They don't call him the Father of Saiyans for nothing. He possesses a unique aura... and as for his power I don't think anyone in existence today has anything close to it."
(Hearing Kaguya's words, Goku grows more and more shocked, realizing just how serious the situation truly is.)
(And then Goku says to himself.)
Goku [in mind]: "Until now, I didn't even know about Kaguya... I didn't know about the Father of Saiyans... and I don't even know who my real mom and dad are. Everything is happening so fast... I have to act quickly and handle all of this."
(Saying this, Goku keeps moving forward.)
(Just then, his eyes fall on the Grand Priest.)
(We see the Grand Priest lying there unconscious.)
(Goku is completely shocked upon seeing him and says.)
Goku: "W-What? That's... the Grand Priest! But... how did he end up like this?"
(At that moment, Kaguya speaks.)
Kaguya: "What do you think? Who else could have done this to the Grand Priest... other than the Father of Saiyans?"
(Hearing this, Goku is once again shocked and says.)
Goku: "Just who exactly is this Father of Saiyans? What kind of power does he possess? I have to meet him soon. He's crushing everyone who stands in his way like they're nothing but leaves in the wind."
(Hearing this, Kaguya responds.)
Kaguya: "Perhaps you still don't fully understand the true power of the Father of Saiyans. You'll only realize it when you see him fight with your own eyes. You can't even imagine just how powerful the Grand Priest truly is... and yet, the Father of Saiyans defeated him and not just him, but all your friends too in a single blow. So hurry, Goku."
(Hearing all this, Goku says.)
Goku: "He defeated the Grand Priest... that means... he's heading exactly where I'm going too."
(After that, we see Zeno at the Omni Palace, still trapped inside the Omni Cage.)
(At that moment, Zeno says.)
Zeno: "I don't know why... but that person—whoever he is—the moment he stepped into our multiverse, I could sense his power. Is he really that powerful... that just by setting foot in a single multiverse, even I the Omni-King began to feel his presence and strength?"
(But just then, Zeno hears a voice.)
???: "Really, Zeno? Do you truly not know whose power that was?"
(Hearing this voice, Zeno is completely shocked and says.)
Zeno: "No... this can't be... You can't possibly have returned... Is it really you... Akumo?"
(And then, we see Akumo standing right before Zeno.)
(Smirking, Akumo says.)
Akumo: "What's the matter, Zeno? After countless millions of years, we finally meet again. And just look at you now... the almighty Omni-King... reduced to a helpless prisoner, locked inside an Omni Cage."
(After saying this, Zeno remains stunned, staring directly at Akumo, who keeps glaring back at him with a sinister smile.)
