Chapter 8 — The Structure of Everything
On Earth, life continued in its strangely peaceful chaos.
Goku and Azer trained, fought, argued, and rebuilt Grandpa Gohan's house more times than anyone could reasonably count. The forest around Mount Paozu had become a training ground where reality itself occasionally forgot how gravity worked.
But beyond Earth…
Beyond Universe 7…
Beyond even the concepts most gods could comprehend…
A larger structure existed.
And Mints, for the first time in a long while, decided to explain it.
It began one night under a sky full of impossible stars.
Goku and Azer sat cross-legged in front of him.
Paula sat beside Mints quietly.
Grandpa Gohan wisely stayed inside the house.
Mints stared upward.
"…You two are strong enough now that I should probably explain things."
Azer narrowed his eyes.
"That sounds like bad news."
Goku tilted his head. "Big talk?"
Mints sighed.
"No. Big truth."
The air shifted slightly.
Even the wind stopped moving.
—
## **The Multiverse Structure**
Mints raised one finger.
A faint silver projection appeared in the air.
A glowing structure formed.
Layers upon layers of reality stacked infinitely upward.
"This," Mints said, "is the structure of existence."
Azer frowned. "That's a lot of layers."
"Yes."
Mints zoomed in on the lowest layer.
### **1. Universes**
"Each universe is a complete reality."
He pointed.
Universe 7.
Universe 6.
Universes 1 through 12.
"Each governed by a God of Destruction and guided by Angels."
Goku blinked. "So many worlds?"
"Yes."
Azer crossed his arms.
"We already knew this part."
Mints nodded.
"Correct. This is the lowest relevant layer."
The projection expanded.
—
### **2. The Multiverse**
A larger structure appeared.
"All universes together form a multiverse."
Azer tilted his head.
"Like Universe 1–12?"
"Yes."
Paula spoke softly.
"And Angels and Gods operate here."
Mints nodded.
"But this is still only the beginning."
The structure expanded further.
—
### **3. The Omniverse**
A massive sphere formed around everything.
"This is the Omniverse."
Azer froze slightly.
"…That sounds serious."
Mints nodded calmly.
"It is."
The projection expanded again.
Inside the Omniverse, countless multiverses appeared.
Each with different laws.
Different divine hierarchies.
Different realities.
Mints spoke quietly.
"The Omniverse contains everything we know."
Goku pointed.
"So everything inside one big ball?"
"Essentially."
Azer frowned.
"There are more layers, aren't there."
Mints smiled faintly.
"Yes."
—
## **4. The Omegaverse Layer**
The projection shattered and rebuilt itself.
Now infinitely more complex.
Countless Omniverses appeared.
Stacked.
Infinite.
Endless.
"This," Mints said, "is the Omegaverse."
Azer's eyes widened slightly.
"…So even the Omniverse isn't the top."
"No."
Mints pointed at the structure.
"There are multiple Omniverses."
Goku scratched his head.
"That confusing."
"Yes."
Paula added softly.
"And dangerous."
Mints nodded.
"Each Omniverse contains its own version of existence."
He paused.
"Different laws. Different histories. Different mythologies."
Then he added something important.
"In one Omniverse, you may find the world of Dragon Ball."
A flick.
Another layer appeared.
"Another may contain DC Comics."
Another flick.
"Marvel."
Another.
"American comics."
Another.
"Manga universes."
Goku's eyes widened.
"So like… alternate stories?"
"More than that."
Mints' tone became serious.
"These are fully real existence structures inside their own Omniverse."
Azer whispered.
"…So fiction isn't fiction everywhere."
Mints nodded.
"Correct."
Paula looked uneasy.
"That's… a lot."
Mints continued.
"And in another Omegaverse entirely…"
The projection shifted.
"Cultivation universes exist."
Azer frowned.
"The ones with immortal gods and infinite realms?"
"Yes."
Mints lowered his hand.
"All of them are real. Just separated by infinite dimensional barriers."
Silence followed.
Even Goku didn't speak for once.
—
## **The Peak of Everything**
Mints pointed upward.
"At the top of all Omegaverses…"
A massive point of light appeared.
"…stands the Omniversal Authority."
Azer narrowed his eyes.
"The Grand Priest?"
Mints shook his head.
"No."
Goku blinked.
"Zeno?"
Mints nodded.
"Yes. And the Grand Priest."
The projection showed them both standing at the peak of all Omniverses.
"In our structure, they are the highest known authorities."
Paula spoke quietly.
"But not the strongest individuals."
Mints nodded.
"Correct."
Then he turned toward Azer.
"And now… we talk about you."
Azer stiffened slightly.
"Me?"
Mints smiled faintly.
—
## **Power Scaling — The Family**
The projection shifted again.
Three figures appeared.
Goku.
Azer.
Mints.
Then two more.
Yamoshi.
Paula.
Mints began.
—
### **Goku (Current Earth State)**
Mints pointed at Goku.
"This one."
Goku smiled proudly.
"Yes!"
Mints continued.
"He is currently growing at an accelerated instinct-based rate."
Azer added immediately.
"He cheats reality."
Mints nodded.
"Correct."
Then serious again.
"His current strength is already above most mortal Saiyans in any timeline of Universe 7."
Paula added softly.
"And still evolving."
Mints nodded.
"His trajectory leads toward Angel-level potential… eventually."
Goku grinned.
"Strong!"
Azer groaned.
"Of course you are happy about that."
—
### **Azer (Current State)**
Mints pointed at Azer.
"This one is more complicated."
Azer crossed his arms.
"I expect praise."
Mints ignored him.
"He possesses hybrid Saiyan–Angel-derived stabilization from me."
Paula nodded.
"And unnatural growth control."
Mints continued.
"His current strength is already approaching Supreme Kai tiers."
Azer smirked slightly.
"Finally."
Mints raised a finger.
"But…"
Azer froze.
Mints smiled.
"…his peak potential reaches Angel class."
Silence.
Goku blinked.
"So he strong like Whis?"
Azer slowly turned toward Mints.
"…Say that again."
Mints nodded.
"Yes. If fully unleashed, Azer stands on par with Angels."
Azer quietly clenched his fists.
"…Good."
Paula looked at him gently.
"But unstable."
Mints nodded.
"He requires proper refinement."
—
### **Yamoshi & Paula**
The projection shifted.
Yamoshi appeared.
Paula stood beside him.
Mints' expression softened slightly.
"These two…"
He spoke calmly.
"…are near Grand Priest level."
Azer looked surprised.
"Near?"
Mints nodded.
"Slightly weaker, yes."
Paula smiled faintly.
"But not by much."
Mints continued.
"Yamoshi is balanced. Righteous Saiyan God lineage stabilized through discipline."
Then he added.
"Paula is Angel-augmented Saiyan hybrid with emotional adaptability beyond most divine beings."
Azer frowned.
"So basically both are monsters."
"Yes."
Paula smiled sweetly.
"Thank you."
Mints sighed.
"Don't encourage her."
—
## **Mints — The Impossible Existence**
The projection shifted violently.
Everything collapsed inward.
Only one figure remained.
Mints.
The air around him distorted reality itself.
Mints spoke calmly.
"I will simplify this."
Azer tensed.
Goku tilted his head.
Paula watched carefully.
Mints continued.
"In a single Omegaverse…"
He snapped his fingers.
A massive structure appeared.
Entire infinite realities collapsed in simulation.
"I can destroy it."
Silence.
Azer blinked.
"…A single Omegaverse?"
"Yes."
Goku smiled nervously.
"That… very big."
Mints nodded.
"I can level one Omegaverse completely."
Paula exhaled slowly.
"That's still insane."
Mints continued.
"And there are multiple Omegaverses."
Azer went silent.
"…How many?"
Mints shrugged.
"Infinite."
Goku whispered.
"That too much."
Mints finished calmly.
"And I exist above that scale."
Silence.
Even wind stopped.
Mints looked upward.
"My strength is not measured in universes anymore."
He lowered his gaze.
"It is measured in what I choose not to erase."
Azer clenched his fists.
"…That's terrifying."
Paula nodded.
"Yes."
Mints smirked slightly.
"And yet…"
He looked at Goku.
"…this child might eventually reach the same conversation."
Goku pointed at himself.
"Me?!"
"Yes."
Azer immediately protested.
"NO WAY."
Mints nodded.
"It is possible."
—
## **Ending — The Calm Before Expansion**
The projection disappeared.
The night sky returned.
Everything felt normal again.
Too normal.
Goku lay on his back staring at stars.
Azer sat silently beside him.
Paula leaned on Mints.
Grandpa Gohan slept peacefully for once.
Azer finally spoke.
"So what now?"
Mints looked at the stars.
"We wait."
"For what?"
Mints smiled faintly.
"For the moment they stop being children."
A long silence followed.
Then Goku spoke.
"Then I become strongest."
Azer groaned.
"Of course you will."
Mints chuckled softly.
"Yes."
Then he added quietly:
"And when that happens…"
The stars flickered.
"…even the Omegaverse will notice."
