## Biography

### What-If 9

After Goku Black and Baby Vegeta merge into Baby Vegito Black, the Fusion proceeds to wipe out Broly, emitting an enormous amount of Godly Ki, which reaches Beerus' Planet, resulting in the God of Destruction awakening from his slumber. His attendant, Whis, discovers that the one to accomplish such feat was a Saiyan, the two deities deducing he is the Super Saiyan God of prophecy. Impressed by such showcase of strength, Beerus tells Whis to prepare, for they'll go pay a visit to the Saiyan.

### In-between What-If 9 & What-If 19

As Whis and Beerus travel towards Earth, they make a stop at the Sacred World of the Kai, where they find the last surviving Supreme Kai: Kibitoshin. The God of Destruction discovers that 4 of the original 5 Supreme Kais were killed while he was off sleeping. Thus, as a precaution for his upcoming match with the Super Saiyan God and to punish Kibitoshin for his terrible job, he seals him away, ensuring his safety. He and Whis then resume their voyage to Earth.

### What-If 19

After arriving on Earth, Beerus expresses 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. As Vegito explains that he knew that emission of Godly Ki would've awakened Beerus, the latter commends his knowledge despite being a Saiyan, all the while noticing a Time Ring on the Fusion's left hand. Vegito retorts that he's anything but a Saiyan, immediately powering up, Beerus telling Whis that the Super Saiyan God may not be such a pushover. Whis observes the Fusion's aura, likening to a mixture of many different beings, before referring to Beerus, the God of Destruction answering that he won't let Vegito get away with his life.
Beerus questions Vegito as to why he doesn't cowardly run off from him despite knowing his status, asking if it's because he's overconfident or a fool. As Vegito grins, he answers that he didn't plan on facing Beerus so early on, but thanks to the newfound power he has gained, he wonders what he is truly capable of. Beerus then comments that he truly is an idiot, before telling Vegito what he wants to do to him: eradicate him off the face of the planet.

The Fusion lunges at Beerus, initiating their match. The God of Destruction quickly gains the edge, beating Vegito to the ground. Standing before the Fusion, Beerus expresses his disappointment if that was the Fusion's true power, with Vegito answering that he has only faced a fraction of his power. As his clone disappears, the real Vegito manages to sneak behind Beerus, managing to slice the God's arm with a Spirit Sword, before launching him away. Vegito proudly laughs at the feat of getting Beerus on his knees, with Beerus understanding that his foe split his power in half before returning into one, explaining why he inflicted so much damage to him. After cauterizing his wound with a Ki blast, Beerus restarts the battle with the Super Saiyan God.
To give himself the edge, Vegito starts to use his Time Ring, in order to "dodge" Beerus' attacks. As their clash stops, Beerus realizes that Vegito's dodging was a product of the Time Ring. The God of Destruction then moves beside the Fusion, grabbing his head and destroying his Time Ring. Whis quickly deduces that Vegito used the Time Ring in order to move himself of a moment into the future in order to "dodge", remaining amazed by the mastery the Fusion holds over such item. Beerus tells Vegito that time manipulation is a great felony, before asking him if he perhaps once was a deity, citing his knowledge on Gods of Destruction and his possession of the Potara Earrings and a Time Ring.

Caught off guard by the destruction of his Time Ring, Vegito decides to use the Black Star Dragon Balls, telepathically contacting Dende and ordering him to keep an eye on the artifacts, only to discover they've long been destroyed. Unbeknownst to the Fusion, Beerus senses and manages to hear Vegito's conversation with Dende, which takes Vegito aback. With the Black Star Dragon Balls gone, Vegito decides to use the Earth's Dragon Balls. In order for Beerus not knowing of his plan, Vegito uses mechanical means of communication and contacts Giru, forcing him into collecting the Dragon Balls.
With the Dragon Balls secured, Vegito chuckles, to which Beerus mockingly asks if he has gone mad. Vegito deems Beerus as the most troublesome God of Destruction but, despite that, he has the means to overcome him, promptly activating the Kaio-ken, taking Beerus by surprise. The Fusion attacks Beerus, delivering a series of devastating attacks, leaving the God on the ground bleeding. As Beerus recovers from Vegito's assault, he is engulfed by a Shining Kamehameha. Having managed to resist the full brunt of the attack, Beerus decides to not hold back anymore, immediately activating Ultra Instinct and attacking Vegito, who in response re-activates the Kaio-ken. Beerus evades and counter-attacks each of Vegito's moves, until he's thrown to the ground.
Vegito compliments Beerus on his usage of Ultra Instinct, claiming him to be worthy of being called a God because of this. Yet, despite that, he confidently states that his true power is above Beerus'. As he walks towards the Fusion, Beerus realizes that Vegito so-called "true power" is nothing more than a temporary multiplication which enhances Vegito's capabilities, but at the cost of his stamina, with the Fusion smugly rebutting he won't need that for long, Beerus answering that he won't have that expression on his face for long, before vanishing from Vegito's sight.

The Fusion immediately fires a rain of Ki blasts, stopping Beerus in his tracks and attacking him, with the God managing to dodge and immediately counter-attacking. As Beerus bombards his foe with a barrage of Ki blasts, Vegito fires a Godly Final Kamehameha, which Beerus dodges before promptly striking Vegito, launching him against a cliff, the impact leaving him bleeding. Taken aback by Beerus' sudden surge of power, the Fusion demands Beerus from where he gained such power, with the God of Destruction sarcastically answering that all the rust he has collected in his sleep must have weakened him. To this affirmation, Vegito angrily activates the Kaio-ken, telling Beerus he'll die to his hand. Beerus evades each of Vegito's attacks, before deeming his actions as "embarrassing", which only increases the Fusion's rage.
Vegito manages to recollect himself, and to entangle Beerus in a series of Ki strings, before liquefying both of his arms, the liquid attaching to Beerus' own arms. With Beerus blocked, Vegito fires Metal Breath, the technique striking one of the God's arms and covering it in metal. Exploiting this advantage, Vegito re-activates the Kaio-ken and pummels Beerus, before firing a Revenge Death Flash. Managing to block the Ki sphere, Beerus laments on the difficulty of moving while having his arm covered in metal, before Vegito appears behind him, using Metal Breath on Beerus' leg.
With Beerus' Ultra Instinct incapacitated, Vegito laughs, before telling Beerus the next one is aimed for his head. Vegito fires the technique again, with Beerus dodging it at the last second, the technique hitting the Ki sphere and turning it into metal. The God of Destruction tells Vegito that he has made it easier for him to get out of this situation, before casting the Hakai on his affected limbs, removing the metal, the Fusion deeming this as impossible. Freed from his constraints, Beerus walks towards Vegito, remarking how nothing is impossible for a God of Destruction, before hitting the Fusion square in the face, the blow sending him flying away.

As Vegito notes that he needs to recover to use the Kaio-ken again, without which he cannot match up to Beerus, he ominously laughs. Walking towards him, Beerus comments that he's finally coming close to losing his mind. Vegito claims Beerus to be the pinnacle of power a God can hope to attain, before remarking that 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. The Fusion tries to lock onto Shin's Ki, only to discover that he cannot find it. Whis chimes in, definitely confirming Vegito to not be a mortal, since he not only knows Shin's Ki, but also that killing him would also kill Beerus. Despite this, he adds that his knowledge is outdated, since Shin has long fused with assistant into Kibitoshin, making Vegito's knowledge of Shin's original Ki useless.
Beerus then further adds that even if he was capable of locating his Ki, he couldn't have harmed him, explaining how he sealed him before coming to Earth, ensuring his own safety and for precaution before facing Vegito, noting how he was able to sense Vegito's "wretched Ki" all the way to his planet. With yet another of his plans failing, Vegito once again contacts Giru, angrily asking him what's taking so long. Giru tells the Fusion that he has collected 6 of the Dragon Balls and that he is heading for the seventh, before he is suddenly attacked by Beerus.
Smiling, Beerus asks his foe if he really thought he could outsmart him, before moving before Vegito, claiming him to be a disillusioned scum on a power trip. As he readies himself to erase the Super Saiyan God, Baby emerges from Vegito's body and tries to flee from Beerus' Hakai, only for the Tuffle Parasite to be erased by the God of Destruction, which confirms that there really were more than two participants in this Fusion.

With Baby gone from the Fusion, Vegito loses his Tuffleized characteristics, also feeling more weaker. Realizing that Baby left with all the energy he gained from his Tuffleized followers alongside the one he siphoned from this Fusion, he has left Vegito with no energy to even transform. Calming himself down, Goku Black realizes that due to Baby's former host, Vegeta, being unconscious, he is in full control of the Fusion, thus decides to use its power to collect the last Dragon Ball. Having luckily managed to pinpoint Giru's location before he was destroyed, Vegito flies towards there, only for him to split into his fusees mid-air.
Refusing to give up after being so close at overcoming this battle with Beerus, Black manages to locate the Dragon Balls. As he flies towards them, Beerus appears before him, stopping him, telling him to dream on. The God of Destruction delivers his ultimatum to Black: deeming him as a nuisance to the world, he'll be doing the Universe a favor by eradicating him. Goku Black, powerless and horrified, can't do nothing but scream at the God of Destruction as the latter readies himself to erase him. As Goku Black fades into dust, Beerus tells him he could have at least died with some dignity. As the sky clears up and birds start to chirp, Beerus stands before the 6 Dragon Balls Giru had collected, with the last one, the Four-Star Dragon Ball, sitting nearby among the vegetation.

### Ultra Instinct

A technique taught by Whis, Beerus is capable of utilizing Ultra Instinct to a certain degree, making each part of his body move on their own, interdependently from one another, granting him the ability to quickly react to any danger he may face during combat. When using this technique, thin blue particles surround his body.

He uses it after enduring Vegito's Shining Kamehameha, deciding not to hold back after witness his foe's strength. With it, he was able to outmaneuver and eventually outpower his adversary, despite his usage of Kaio-ken to match up to him.
