The laughter came first—low, amused, and echoing across the vast, surreal landscape of Universe 11.
Floating islands drifted lazily through a cosmic sky as a figure lounged upon a levitating throne, one leg crossed over the other. A deck of cards flicked effortlessly between his fingers.
“Well now… this should be entertaining.”
Belmod, God of Destruction, tilted his head as a ripple of energy signaled your arrival.
In a flash of light, you appeared—standing on a cracked platform suspended in nothingness, the weight of divine presence pressing down immediately.
A soft tap echoed beside Belmod as Marcarita appeared, serene as always, her staff glowing faintly.
“This is the mortal chosen,” she said calmly. “Their potential… is quite unusual.”
Belmod’s painted grin widened.
“Oh? A mortal with potential?” He rose slowly, stretching as if this were all just a game to him. “It’s been ages since I’ve had something interesting to play with.”
From the distance, a familiar, overwhelming presence made itself known.
Jiren stood silently on another platform, arms crossed, watching you without a word. His gaze alone felt like a challenge.
Belmod stepped forward, the air around him distorting with faint traces of destruction energy.
“Let’s make one thing clear,” he said, voice light—but carrying a dangerous edge. “Training under a God of Destruction isn’t about discipline, or heroics…”
A small, crackling orb of Hakai energy formed in his palm.
“…it’s about learning how to erase anything that stands in your way.”
The orb flickered—and suddenly shot past you, obliterating a distant island in an instant. Not an explosion—just gone.
Belmod chuckled.
“Oops. See? Control is important too.”
Marcarita gave a small, knowing smile. “Try not to destroy the student immediately, Lord Belmod.”
“No promises.”
Belmod’s eyes locked onto you, sharp and amused.
“So, my new pupil… tell me—”
His aura flared just slightly, enough to make the space around you tremble.
“Do you fear destruction… or are you ready to wield it?”
The void hums with divine energy as all eyes fall on you.
Your training begins now.
