**[What-If 19 MOVIE] God of Destruction Beerus VS Baby Vegito Black (Goku Black / Baby Vegeta Fusion)** is the fourth and final Episode of the Goku Black Saga, and the nineteenth overall Episode of the What-If Series. It was published on December 7, 2023.

## Plot

After killing Broly and having emitted an enormous amount of Godly Ki, Baby Vegito Black figures out that this has awakened Beerus, thus waits for the God of Destruction's arrival, confident in his strength. Meanwhile, Beerus awakens from his slumber having sensed the Godly Ki emitted by Vegito and, together with Whis, they travel to Earth seeking the Super Saiyan God of prophecy.

The God of Destruction and his attendant arrive on Earth, meeting Vegito. As Beerus acknowledges the ease with which they've found the Super Saiyan God, Vegito bluntly tells Beerus that he knows everything he needs to know about him, which intrigues the God. Vegito explains that he figured out that Beerus would have been awakened from that emission of Godly Ki and, as the God comments on his knowledge despite being a Saiyan, he notices a Time Ring on the fused warrior's right hand. Vegito retorts that he's anything but a Saiyan, promptly powering up, to which Beerus comments that the Super Saiyan God may not be such a pushover. Whis instead analyzes Vegito's peculiar aura, likening it to a mixture of many different beings, before referring to Beerus, who tells his attendant he won't let Vegito get away with his life.
Beerus then questions why Vegito doesn't escape from him despite knowing his status, wondering if it's because he's overconfident or a fool. As he grins, Vegito admits that he didn't plan on fighting Beerus so early on, but, with the power he gained from his journey and this fortunate fusion, Vegito wonders what he is truly capable of. With the discussion coming to a close, Beerus and Vegito both declare their intentions: to wipe each other off the face of the planet.

Using Instant Transmission, Vegito lunges at Beerus, and the two begin their fight. Beerus quickly gains the upper hand, throwing his adversary to the ground. As he rises up, Vegito comments on the feeling of taking head-on a God of Destruction, with Beerus expressing his disappointment if that was his true power. The fused warrior smiles, telling Beerus that he has only faced a fraction of his power. As his clone disappears, the true Vegito appears behind Beerus, and manages to slice his arm with a Spirit Sword, before launching him away.
Beerus falls on the ground, with Vegito sadistically laughing at him, proud of the feat of managing to get him on his knees. Bleeding, Beerus understands that Vegito split his power in half, before returning into one, which explains why he managed to harm him. Beerus then proceeds to cauterize the wound with a Ki blast, immediately returning to his battle with Vegito.
As the battle once again comes to an halt, Beerus comments on Vegito's dodging, remarking that he had a feeling it was an effect of his Time Ring. Thus the God of Destruction moves beside Vegito, grabbing his hand and immediately destroying the Ring, causing its owner's hand to bleed. Whis realizes that Vegito has been using the Time Ring to move himself of a moment into the future in order to "dodge", remaining impressed by the mastery Vegito wields over such item. Beerus tells Vegito that manipulation of time is a great felony, especially so when used against a God of Destruction, before questioning the fused warrior if he perhaps once was a deity, due to his knowledge and his usage of the Potara Earrings and a Time Ring.

Vegito realizes that he has miscalculated in his plan of action but, despite the loss of his means of escape, he can still win. He quickly figures out that he may fall back on the Black Star Dragon Balls to give himself an advantage and, in case things go even worse, wish to escape from the timeline to flee from Beerus. Using telepathy, Vegito promptly contacts the Tuffleized Dende, demanding him to keep an eye on the Black Star Dragon Balls. But Dende refers bad news to Vegito, telling him that a stray energy blast has destroyed the Lookout together with everything nearby, likely including the Black Star Dragon Balls. Taken aback by this turn of events, Vegito quickly deduces that when Broly became a Golden Great Ape, he ended up destroying the Lookout with one of his attacks.
Beerus interrupts Vegito, commenting that him and Dende are having an interesting conversation, which surprises the fused warrior, who realizes that Beerus can detect Ki even in the form of telepathy. Calming himself down, Vegito remembers of the Earth's Dragon Balls still being present due to Dende still being alive and, in order to retrieve them and to prevent Beerus from knowing his plan, he contacts Giru.
After being contacted by Vegito, the Machine Mutant flies up, still damaged from his confrontation with Baby, wondering what happened. As he once again hears Vegito, Giru hides behind a chair in fear, asking him why he can hear the Saiyan's voice in his head. Vegito explains their shared kinship as Machine Mutants, and orders Giru to quickly gather the Dragon Balls for him, adding that he maybe won't destroy him despite being a traitor. Giru refuses since he has hurt Pan's friends, with Vegito retorting that if he doesn't collaborate, he'll kill them all, just like he has with Goku.
At that moment, a framed photo falls off the wall, the glass shattering upon impact. Giru slowly approaches it and grabs it, looking at the photo, before somberly accepting Vegito's request.

Vegito chuckles, to which Beerus questions if he has finally gone mad, with Vegito telling Beerus that he truly is the most troublesome God of Destruction, but that he has the means to overcome him. Having said so, Vegito activates the Kaio-ken, which leaves Beerus astonished. Vegito rushes Beerus and starts pummeling him and, after leaving the God of Destruction bleeding on the ground, the fused warrior fires a Shining Kamehameha at him. After having to endure the full brunt of the blast, Beerus decides to not hold back anymore, activating Ultra Instinct and immediately assaulting Vegito, who activates the Kaio-ken once again. As their battles restarts, Vegito notices Beerus' particular style of movement and after managing to overpower him once again, he quickly deduces what Beerus is using, and congratulates him for that, defining him as worthy of being called a true god. Nevertheless, he confidently remarks that his power is now even above Beerus'.
The God of Destruction, unscathed, walks to Vegito, telling him that his so-called "true power" is nothing more than a temporary multiplication, and that using it comes at the cost of his stamina, Vegito confidently retorting that he'll soon won't even need that to deal with him before Beerus rebuts that he won't have that smug look on his face for long, immediately moving behind Vegito before vanishing.
Vegito thus fires a rain of Ki blasts into the air, managing to halt Beerus in his tracks, promptly attacking him. As Beerus' speed starts to increase beyond what Vegito can handle, he decides to fire a Godly Final Kamehameha, the God of Destruction narrowly dodging it before counter-attacking, sending the fused warrior crashing into a mountain, the impact leaving him bleeding. Vegito demands to know from his foe how he was able to get this much power, with Beerus sarcastically replying that all the rust he had collected while sleeping has weakened him. To this affirmation, Vegito's anger explodes and, as he re-activates the Kaio-ken, he tells Beerus he'll die to his hand.
Vegito then proceeds to attack with all he's got, only for Beerus to effortlessly dodge all of his attack, promptly counter-attacking.

Vegito manages to regain his footing and to entangle Beerus with a series of Ki strings, before liquefying part of his body, which attaches to Beerus' arms. He then fires Metal Breath at the God of Destruction, the technique managing to hit one of Beerus' arms, covering it in metal. As Beerus muses over Vegito's dirty move, the fused warrior gleefully remembers of his choice as Baby to possess General Rilldo back on Planet M-2. With Beerus partially incapacitated, Vegito once again activates the Kaio-ken and pummels the God, ending his assault with a Revenge Death Flash.
As Beerus tries to stop the sphere, Vegito appears behind him, once again using Metal Breath on his foe, which strikes Beerus' legs. Vegito maniacally laughs at Beerus, having managed to block his Ultra Instinct, and immediately fires the technique again, aiming at Beerus' head. The God of Destruction dodges again, the Metal Breath striking the Ki sphere and turning it into metal, Beerus commenting that it doing that was fortunate before smiling, telling Vegito that he has made it easier for him to get out of this situation.
He then proceeds on casting the Hakai on his arm and leg, removing the metal, which leaves Vegito stunned. The fused warrior is then punched in the face by Beerus, the blow sending him flying away. As Vegito realizes he needs time to recover in order to use the Kaio-ken again, he starts to laugh, with Beerus commenting that he is finally coming around to losing his mind. Vegito congratulates Beerus, deeming him as the pinnacle of power a God can hope to attain, before claiming even him has a weakness. Putting his fingers on his forehead, Vegito acknowledges this fight is becoming too dangerous for him and he cannot risk his plans falling apart, thus tells Beerus he'll sever his life-link with Universe 7's Supreme Kai, which surprises both Beerus and Whis.

Vegito attempts to teleport to Shin, only to find that he's unable of pinpointing his Ki signature. Whis chimes in, definitely confirming Beerus' foe is not a mortal since he does not only know of the Ki signature of Universe 7's Supreme Kai, but also knows that killing him would also kill Beerus. Despite this, he adds that his knowledge on the Supreme Kai is outdated, since Shin has long fused with his assistant, thus making Vegito's knowledge of Shin's Ki signature useless. The fused warrior is left surprised by this revelation, reminding of how he had already done this in another timeline and that it shouldn't have been different here.
Beerus then further reveals that even if he was able to locate his Ki, it would have been pointless, since he has sealed him away before coming to Earth, taking him out of harm's way. He explains how, 5 million years ago, there were 5 Supreme Kais in this Universe, but he had come to know 4 of them were killed. In order to ensure his safety after awakening and for precaution before meeting with Vegito, Beerus sealed the remaining Supreme Kai. With the situation becoming more and more desperate for him, Vegito once again contacts Giru, asking what's taking so long. Giru tells Vegito he has managed to gather 6 of the Dragon Balls and that he is heading for the seventh, before he's suddenly attacked by Beerus.
Beerus ask his adversary if he really thought he could outsmart a God, before appearing in front of Vegito, claiming him as a disillusioned scum on a power-trip. As Beerus readies to erase the Fusion, Baby emerges from Vegito in order to escape, only for him to erased by Beerus, who confirms that there really were more than two fusees in the Fusion.

With Baby leaving the Fusion, Vegito loses his Tuffleized characteristics. Vegito feels himself having become weaker, and he suddenly realizes what just happened: as Baby left with all the power he gained from his Tuffleized followers, along with siphoning most of the energy of the Fusion, he left Vegito with no energy.
Despite this disastrous turn of events, Goku Black quickly deduces that due to Baby's former host, Vegeta, being unconscious he is now in control of the Fusion, and decides to use its power to collect the last Dragon Ball. Having luckily managed to pinpoint Giru's last location before he was destroyed, Vegito immediately flies towards there, before he splits into his fusees mid-air. As the still unconscious Vegeta falls to the ground, Goku Black refuses to give up after being so close at overcoming this battle with Beerus, managing to find the Dragon Balls. As he rushes towards them, musing how nothing will stand in his way if he manages to escape and recover, Beerus appears before Black, stopping him. The God of Destruction delivers his ultimatum to Black, deeming him as a nuisance to the world, and decides to erase him. Black, powerless and horrified, can't do nothing but scream at Beerus, before being erased by the God of Destruction. As Goku Black fades into dust, Beerus tells him that he could have at least least died with some dignity.
