"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man, I need to do this more often!
Gray couldn't help but grin widely, his monstrous ape-maw likely looking terrifying as it grinned down at the now tiny form of Homeless Emperor. As the power of his Ozaru transformation flowed through him, Gray suddenly felt like he could take on even Frieza.
Which, I probably can't, but I'd kick King Vegeta's ass!
Gray glanced over at his stat sheet as his grin twitched up even more, unintentionally causing Homeless Emperor to take a step back in fear.

If I used Gigantification, would I become so large that I could crush the city with one step?
Gray didn't try it out of fear of accidentally crushing one of his squadmates in the process, but it was something to keep in mind for clearing the rest of the planets.
"H-How… w-what… w-why…" Homeless Emperor looked like he was going through every stage of grief at once, the man stumbling backwards as he stared up in a mixture of awe and horror at Gray's massive Ozaru form.
"I told you the fight was over," Gray just grinned menacingly, and despite his huge size, his arm lashed out faster than Homeless Emperor could process.
372,890HP! (892,110/1,891,220)
Despite not having Ki coating his hand, the simple slap did more damage than even Gray's [Kokuyo] had done. The palm of his hairy hand slammed into the side of Homeless Emperor, sending him flying to the side in the blink of an eye. His body started to rocket toward the city again, but it was stopped before it could reach the buildings.
Before Homeless Emperor even knew what happened, Gray disappeared and reappeared behind him, his hand lashing out and catching the mage's high-speed body. His ape-hand wrapped around the man easily, giving a light squeeze that caused the man to scream in pain.
251,775HP! (640,335/1,891,220)
"GREAHHHHH!" Homeless Emperor shrieked as Gray's 'light' squeeze easily crushed his bones, causing some of them to snap and break from the force.
Damn, is this how Vegeta felt?
Gray could somewhat understand why Vegeta was such an arrogant asshole now - the feeling of superiority that came with defeating someone effortless, then literally holding their life in the palm of your hand, was hard to ignore. Gray had already become a bit arrogant because of his constant wins since fighting Yamoshi, and this only added to it.
Let's relax, me. I can start acting like an arrogant asshole after I'm strong enough to not die to Beerus's pinky finger.
Granted, that was probably a long way away.
Okay, maybe after I kill Frieza. That's good enough, right?
Gray was brought back to reality as two large balls of Ki suddenly appeared around his hand that was holding Homeless Emperor, flinging at him point-blank. Gray easily could've dodged the attacks or swiped them away with his other huge monkey paw, but he just grinned as they shot at him.
My END has been lacking for a while, so I'll at least abuse it to its fullest right now.
The two large balls of Ki slammed into Gray's chest, and-
-5,750HP! (18,461,850/18,467,600)
Did essentially nothing.
It's like someone shined a flashlight at me.
There was a small, almost unnoticeable wave of heat that washed over his chest, but the hairs on his chest didn't even get singed.
"I almost felt that," Gray grinned widely down at the man in his hand, whose eyes were still deathly afraid despite his gall to attack back against Gray.
Gray casually yanked his arm up, releasing Homeless Emperor and throwing him roughly a dozen feet upward. Then, his huge ape-fist slammed down from above.
492,115HP! (148,220/1,891,220)
Homeless Emperor didn't even manage to let out a scream this time as his body was slammed downward, smashing into the ground and causing a massive crater to appear around him from the impact.
He's not dead, but he could've fooled me.
The mage lay limp in the crater, blood pooling around him. His body was battered, broken, and bruised. He didn't even twitch, much less make a sound or get back up. If Gray didn't have the HP notification to confirm the man was alive, he would've believed that he had died from the attack.
"Well, I'll put you out of your pain," Gray hummed, raising his large foot and getting ready to stomp down on Homeless Emperor, but the man finally gave a small twitch.
"P-Please…" The man slowly rolled over, staring up at the towering form of Gray with pleading eyes, "I-I…"
"Sorry, but begging for your life doesn't work on me." Gray shook his head with a smirk, "I do need strong allies and subordinates, but…"
If I just pick up every strong person whose ass I beat, then I'll be left with an army of loosely-loyal monsters.
Gray needed strong allies and subordinates to fight against King Vegeta and Frieza - but if he just took anyone strong with him, then it could end up biting him in the ass. Not everyone could be beaten into submission like Raditz.
"I… can… still… fight…" Gray blinked as Homeless Emperor stared up at him, tears starting to stream down the grown man's face, "P-Please…don't…"
He can still fight? What the fuck is he talking about?
"You need to know when to give it up, man," Gray just started to lower his foot. "This is getting pathetic-"
Gray blinked as he paused, realizing something as his foot lowered down toward the man.
He's… not looking at me?
More specifically, Homeless Emperor was looking past him. His eyes were staring up into the vast Homian sky, filled with terror, reverence, and fear.
Why is he-
Gray glanced up, wondering if the man was just going insane in his final moments, but he stiffened as he followed Homeless Emperor's gaze.
What the fuck-
As Gray looked up, he felt like he was looking at a Lovecraftian-esque monster. There was no face - just crisscrossing silver lines, as if someone had wound countless strings together into the shape of a head. The lines continued, forming a thick neck, torso, arms, legs, and an entire body of crossing lines.
The creature seemed to float in space, looking far bigger than the entirety of Hom. As if it were a god staring down on his creation.
Even in Gray's Ozaru form, he looked like an ant in comparison. Even an ant was being generous - he was like a speck of dust, a mere grain of sand, in front of a giant. But, despite the god-like creature staring down at them, Gray just frowned.
He's… not real.
As Gray tried to use [Observe] on the very real-looking giant monster, nothing happened.
Is it an illusion? Did he use some type of magic on me? No - he doesn't have any MP.
Gray spun around to look back at Homeless Emperor, and his huge eyes went as wide as saucers as he did. The man was still lying in the crater, his mouth opening and closing fruitlessly as he stared up in pain. Tears rolled down his cheeks, creating a truly pathetic sight.
But what was most concerning was the state of his body. His arms seemed to fade away, crumbling into dust as they literally fell off his body. His legs were doing the same, and the man was limbless by the time Gray turned to him.
However, that wasn't where it ended. The dust continued to consume him, his torso fading away into nothing but a pile of dust as only his bodyless head remained. Despite being just a head, Homeless Emperor still spat out one final word before he disappeared completely.
"G-...god…"
God?
Then, the man was gone, a pile of dust where his body had once been.
…This mission just got interesting.
Gray's lips twitched up as he turned back to the behemoth of a monster floating above, who looked as if he could swipe his massive hand and completely destroy Hom at any moment. Adrenaline started to pump through his body, his heart rate increasing, and his body tensing.
For the first time in a long time, Gray felt like he'd have to fight for his life.
…power…
Gray blinked abruptly, his heart starting to pound even faster.
I didn't think that.
A gravely voice seemed to invade his thoughts, sounding monstrous and like a combination of thousands of voices speaking at once. A sharp headache ripped through Gray at the sound, but he just continued to grin.
"That's you, right?" He asked the towering creature, but he didn't get a direct answer.
You want… power…
"Who doesn't?" Gray just continued to grin, excitement coursing through him as the voice ripped through his head again.
You want… power… more than… anything…
Duh.
This time, it was actually Gray's thoughts. In this world, power was essential. It was King.
In this world, the very law of 'might makes right' applies to everything. There were no guns, or technology, or anything else that could keep law and order. Every conflict, every desire, and every emotion led to one thing: power.
No amount of money, subordinates, or allies could save you when Frieza set his sights on you. And, even in the case of Frieza, no matter how far his galactic empire stretched, it wouldn't save him when Beerus smushed him like an ant.
In this world, everything led back to power.
I will… give you… power…
The air in front of Gray seemed to shimmer, and the humanoid creature's huge hand suddenly stretched forward. The entire sky was filled with his silver, line-like skin as it cast a shadow over half of the planet.
You will… be… the strongest…
The hand stretched further and further, its palm outstretched as if the being was about to grab the planet like a basketball, sinking its fingers into it and crumbling it as if it were a ball of dirt.
Take… my hand…
Gray grinned, raising his own hand as the massive one slowly lowered toward him. His palm outstretched, reaching to place his palm against the god-like beings.
"Good joke, fucker," Gray's outstretched flicked up into a Ki-gun, and Gray's grin looked near manaical, "You don't get what you just did, do you?"
To Gray's side, there sat a notification.

You have failed to Kill or Subjugate [Homeless Emperor]!
The S-Class mission has increased in difficulty!
[God] has taken notice of you!
I did all the work kicking that fucking mage's ass, and this big-ass guy steals the kill?!
Gray didn't get the XP nor the coins for killing Homeless Emperor either, as the man had dissolved into dust instead of being killed at Gray's hand.
"Listen here, 'god,'" Gray smirked, aiming his Ki-bullet at the massive hand, "I'm gonna kick your ass, alright? Next time we meet, come here yourself instead of making whatever this shitty illusion is!"
Gray flicked his hand, and a Ki-bullet streamed into the massive hand.
Don't disappoint me, alright? I'm really pissed off you ruined my quest!
In an instant, Gray had started a war against a god.
