Super Template System In Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 265: Goku and Supreme Kai



Vegeta wiped a smear of blood from his lip, eyes blazing with pride and stubborn fury. "Don't think you've won just yet!" he roared, pushing his power even further as blue lightning danced across his Super Saiyan Blue form.

Dave grinned. "Finally getting serious?"

With a furious shout, Vegeta shot forward again, this time mixing teleportation into his attacks — disappearing and reappearing at blinding speed, striking from all angles. He landed a solid punch to Dave's gut, then a roundhouse kick that cracked the air. Dave staggered slightly but caught Vegeta's next blow with one hand.

"Nice," Dave smirked, then tightened his grip and hurled Vegeta into a cliff face with such force the entire ridge exploded in a shower of dust and debris.

Before the rubble settled, Vegeta burst out of it, aura flaring madly, and shot a massive barrage of energy blasts at Dave — a storm of fire and fury. Dave spun through the air, dodging some, tanking others, before landing on the ground.

"Now try this!" Dave shouted, driving his fist into the earth.

A pillar of green energy erupted from below Vegeta, catching him midair and launching him skyward. Dave appeared above him in an instant, hammering him with a downward punch that sent him crashing into the ground like a meteor. The earth shook violently.

Vegeta coughed, slowly rising. His armor cracked, his face bloodied, but he wasn't done.

He let out a primal roar and launched himself back at Dave, fists swinging. The two exchanged a furious flurry of punches and kicks, shockwaves ripping across the battlefield with each clash. The sky began to ripple from their unleashed power.

But just as Vegeta landed a particularly strong punch that forced Dave to slide back—

Zzzziiiip!

A rip in space shimmered open.

"Okay, that's enough!!" shouted a familiar voice.

BOOM!

Both fighters were frozen in place as a sudden force pushed between them. Floating in the air was Goku, in his orange gi, smiling awkwardly.

Beside him stood the Supreme Kai, arms crossed, eyes stern. "I sensed the insane power levels and had to check it myself."

Vegeta scoffed, panting. "You're late… this lunatic showed up talking about destiny and being stronger than me!"

"I am stronger than you" Dave rolled his eyes and said.

Goku chuckled and floated down. "You've been going at it pretty hard. And wow… I haven't felt energy like his since... well, never actually."

The Supreme Kai floated closer to Dave, observing him carefully. "You… you're also a Saiyan. Where have you been all this time?"

Dave's glowing aura shimmered down as he powered down from his Super Saiyan form, returning to his base form. He crossed his arms and replied calmly, "Someone's dad was sure a coward who decided to remove the competition even before the real fight began."

He glanced at Vegeta as he said it, prompting a sharp scoff from the prince.

"He indeed was weak and cowardly," Vegeta growled. "That's why our whole planet was destroyed by the likes of Frieza."

Dave said nothing in return, only shifting his gaze to Goku, who stood nearby with his usual cheerful, clueless smile.

"You must be the other Saiyan... the one his father decided to remove from combat so his son could one day be king?" Dave said coldly.

Goku tilted his head, confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"

Dave's eyes narrowed slightly. "Back on Planet Vegeta, there were only three Saiyan babies born with power levels greater than the king himself — me, you… and that short-tempered prince over there," he said, gesturing at Vegeta with a nod.

"but when his father realized this, he had you and me sent off to a weak, remote planet. Somewhere we couldn't grow strong enough to challenge the royal line."

Goku rubbed the back of his neck, laughing sheepishly. "Well… I guess I got lucky with Earth, huh? Turned out okay in the end."

"You didn't get lucky," Dave said, voice flat. "Your planet was weak. So you got stronger. I was exiled to one where power meant survival. And I survived."

Before the tension could rise again, the Supreme Kai raised his hands. "Enough of this. Whatever your pasts were — you're all here now. And that's what matters."

Dave raised an eyebrow, his arms folded as he listened. "Tournament of Power?" he asked slowly, his tone cautious.

The Supreme Kai nodded gravely. "Yes… a multiversal tournament hosted by the Omni-Kings — the Zenos. Thirteen universes were originally chosen. Only one will remain after it's over."

Dave blinked, the seriousness of it hitting him. "And the others?"

"They will be erased. Along with everyone in them," the Kai said solemnly.

Dave's expression darkened. "And who the hell came up with something that messed up?"

"The Zenos," the Supreme Kai replied. "They… see it as a game. But their word is law. Even the Gods of Destruction cannot defy them."

For a moment, silence stretched in the air, broken only by the soft wind rustling through the trees. Goku's smile had faded, and even Vegeta had sobered up.

Dave narrowed his eyes. "So you're telling me… I've been dragged into a cosmic deathmatch decided by a couple of overpowered toddlers who play with universes like toys?"

The Supreme Kai gave a small nod. "I won't argue with your phrasing… but yes."

"Wow, and here I thought I was just going to beat up this short guy—now it turns out I have to fight in a multiversal arena," Dave said, then shrugged with a smirk. "Sounds fun to me."

"Aha! I knew you'd like it!" Goku laughed, slapping Dave on the back. "Anyway, let's get going! I want to see just how strong you really are."

" I alss want to know why his Super saiyan form of 3rd stage is better than mine at 5th stage too"

Dave smirked. "It simplre, Super Saiyan multiplies your power by 50, right? If your base is 1, then Super Saiyan gives you 50. But in my case, my base is already 500—so imagine what 50 times that looks like. That's why I'm way ahead of you guys."

Goku blinked, visibly surprised. "Let's find out then! I want to test you myself."

The Supreme Kai added, "It's good. I want to see your power firsthand as well."
