"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the expanse of space, there floated seven planets - all near perfectly aligned, in a circumstance that couldn't be accounted for by luck. They were always this way - always in a straight line, no matter the size or rotation of the planets, in a way that defied all logic. It was something that shouldn't have been possible in a natural setting. It was almost as if a godly being had set them up this way and ensured that even the planets themselves couldn't escape from the radius of the other planets around them.

But, regardless of divine intervention or not, the planets still floated there in a straight line. They had years, for decades, for centuries, and for millennia. For the inhabitants of each planet, glancing up into the sky and seeing the far, distant outlines of the other planets, looking like massive stars and moons, was a part of life. It was how it had always been, and it was how it would always be.

Or, it would've been, if the seventh planet, known as Monas, didn't erupt into a massive ball of fire. Flames streaked through the air, and if you had been present on one of the nearby planets, it would've looked like the apocalypse had come. Chunks of planet rained down from the sky, scattering across the air like a shower of meteors, and filling the sky with a rain of fire.

But if you were on the nearest planet to Monas, known as Logon, you would've only had roughly half a minute to be concerned about the rain of destruction. That was because, just a few moments later, you would be greeted by a massive, pure-white streak of power.

It crossed the sky, looking as if a godly being had sent down a ray of light, until it made contact with Logon. The sky exploded with brightness, as if a thousand suns had been placed above it. But, if you could somehow see through that brightness, you would see what looked to be a humanoid silhouette.

Then, Logon exploded.

Compared to Monas' long, drawn-out destruction, which stemmed from countless blows adding up, and then one final beam of power to push the planet beyond its limits, Logon exploded instantly. One second it was there, and the next, a beam of light ripped through its core, and it was gone.

If you were on the next planet in line, Inseton, you wouldn't have even seen the beam of light. That was because, unless you were a highly trained and immensely powerful being, you wouldn't have had time to process the light before the planet under your feet exploded from within.

The situation would be the same from any of the next three planets - Wowea, Mam, and Hom - as well. In one instant, the planets stood tall and proud, as they had for millennia. Then, in the blink of an eye, they were turned into nothing but floating rocks and debris in space as all life faded from existence.

Of the seven planets that had always been aligned, there was only one that remained. And, as a figure landed on the surface in a ball of fire, the trajectory of Universe 7 changed forever.

One Minute Earlier

Thanks for the save, Blast!

Gray grinned widely as Blast's fist slammed into Boros' face, and the alien's counteracting beam faded into just a Ki blast. His Kokuyo continued forward, intent on destroying all of Monas below him, and Gray yanked his hands up as he cut off the Ki supply of the beam.
