When a God of Destruction Was Reincarnated in Tensura:

The battlefield had become a living nightmare—a stage set for utter devastation. The Demon Lords, once confident, now stood against the Fallen Exarchs, warriors who had conquered entire universes before being sealed away in the Abyss. Their very presence warped reality, their mere movements shattered the land, and their voices dripped with malice beyond comprehension.

Even Rimuru and Goku, despite their evolved powers, felt the crushing weight of true cosmic terror. The Demon Lords, battered and wounded, realized they had never faced anything like this before. The tide had turned once again, and this time, it seemed insurmountable.

Yet, high above the chaos, in his realm beyond mortal comprehension, Beerus observed in silence. His golden eyes flickered with an emotion that had not surfaced in eons: annoyance.

"They are losing," murmured Delta, one of Beerus' wives, her silver eyes gleaming as she leaned against his throne. "How… disappointing."

"Not unexpected," Beta added, crossing her arms. "The Fallen Exarchs were meant to be the pinnacle of destruction. Even with their new power-ups, the Demon Lords are still mortals playing at godhood."

"Azazel hasn't even shown himself yet," Sigma noted, her voice calm but sharp. "If the Fallen Exarchs alone are overwhelming them, what happens when the true nightmare arrives?"

A long silence stretched through the divine halls. Then—Beerus rose to his feet.

"I think it's time," he said, voice resonating with power that made reality itself tremble.

Whis raised an eyebrow. "Time for what, my lord?"

Beerus' lips curled into a sharp grin. "To remind the cosmos that I do not sit idly by."

With a snap of his fingers, twelve golden portals erupted across the battlefield, vast and radiant as miniature suns. The very air trembled, space twisted, and the skies howled as something… no, someone began to descend.

The Twelve Zodiacs had arrived.

The first to emerge in Tempest were two figures, each radiating an aura so powerful that even Goku, in his heightened Ultra Instinct, felt his muscles tense.

1. Leo, the Indomitable King

A warrior clad in golden armor engraved with cosmic patterns, his mere presence was like staring into the heart of a supernova. His deep voice echoed with absolute command.

"I am Leo, the King of the Cosmos. Your struggle ends here, mortals. Step aside."

The Exarch before Rimuru snarled, but even he hesitated under Leo's presence.

Scorpio, the Abyssal Executioner

Next to Leo stood a figure clad in jet-black armor, his twin scimitars gleaming with an eerie violet glow. A single glance from him made even the air burn.

"Your arrogance has led you to a battlefield where gods walk. You will pay the price."

His voice was sharp, ruthless. Without warning, he moved—so fast that even Rimuru barely registered the attack. The Exarch before him screamed as a massive gash appeared across his chest, dark ichor spraying.

In Dwargon, another portal split open, and a figure stepped forth amidst the destruction where Draguel, Gazel, and Draguel's brother stood.

3. Taurus, the Mountain that Walks

A massive, towering behemoth, clad in obsidian battle armor. His steps shook the ground, and his arms, covered in golden runes, radiated raw, infinite strength.

"I am Taurus. And this battle? This war? It ends with me."

He raised his colossal fists and slammed them together—the resulting shockwave erased an entire mountain range.

In Ruberios, where Luminous, Hinata, Diablo, and Zegion struggled against their Exarch opponent, a single figure descended.

4. Virgo, the Judging Hand

A woman clad in a long flowing robe, her six wings shimmering with starlight. Her gaze alone paralyzed the Exarch before her.

"You are weighed. You are measured. You are found wanting."

She lifted her hand, and a celestial sigil appeared above the battlefield. The moment it activated, the Exarch screamed as divine chains wrapped around him, sealing his power.

In Sarion, where Leon and Elmesia fought against the Queen of Madness, another two figures stepped forth.

5. Gemini, the Twin Stars of Fate

Two beings, their forms flickering between shadow and light, mirroring one another's every movement.

**"Madness?" one of them whispered.

"We have seen true madness," the other replied.

"And you are but a cheap imitation."

With a flick of their hands, the reality-warping effects of Nyxara began to unravel.

In Celesterra, where Ivarage and Ramiris fought with every ounce of strength left in them, a storm began to form.

6. Aquarius, the Everflowing Abyss

A woman, her body half-liquid, half-cosmic energy, descended in a spiral of ethereal waves. The Exarch in front of her froze—not out of fear, but because she had already severed his connection to the Abyss.

"A creature of the void fears drowning? How… ironic."

With a gesture, she crushed the Exarch's very essence under an impossible gravitational field of water.

Above the Ice Continent, where Guy Crimson stood against a monstrous Exarch, a figure descended from the portal, landing with a crash.

7. Capricorn, The Eternal Juggernaut

A knight forged from cosmic stone, his horned helm glowed with infinite power.

"You have entertained this thing for long enough, Guy Crimson."

Guy Crimson smirked, crimson flames licking at his fingertips.

"Heh… about time someone interesting showed up."

Above Falmuth, where Milim and Youm were fighting desperately, another figure descended.

8. Aries, The Infernal Storm

A warrior wreathed in scarlet flames, her very presence warping the battlefield.

"I am Aries. Stand back, children. The real war begins now."

Milim grinned wildly.

"Finally! Someone who gets it!"

One by one, the Zodiacs spread across the battlefield, overwhelming even the unbeatable Fallen Exarchs with effortless, terrifying ease.

Even Azazel, watching from the Abyss, narrowed his eyes.

"…What is this?"

For the first time, his confidence wavered.

In his divine realm, Beerus smirked.

"You thought you were the only one with warriors beyond reason, Azazel?"

"You thought the Abyss was the ultimate force?"

"You know nothing of true strength."

Azazel clenched his fists. The battlefield was no longer his. The Zodiacs had changed everything.

The war… was no longer his to win.
