Hypothetical for you all: You're elevated to the level of God of Destruction, as seen in media like Dragonball!
You instantly become capable of massively faster than light movement (getting from one end of the galaxy to the other is basically a light jog around the block to you), the ability to breathe in any atmosphere including the vacuum of space, durability that makes even the strongest of human weapons barely even register on your radar, immortality, and strength of such intensity that you could disintegrate a planet with a single finger! All you have to do to maintain this godly power is to fly around the universe and blow up planets and stars that get too old, which is a basically effortless job for you, though notably some of these planets and stars will probably be inhabited, and you're going to have to blow up their planet anyways to keep the cosmic balance. About a planet or star a week will fill the quota, though if you slip up too much, you'll lose the power and become a squishy, normal human once more.
What do you do with this newfound power? How does it affect your life? What would you do when faced with a planet set for destruction that was populated with intelligent life?
Tl;dr: You get the powers of a God of Destruction from Dragon Ball and all of the bullshit OP powers that come with that title. However, you have to blow up the oldest planets and/or stars around at least once a week to maintain your title, which might include dooming some populated worlds to destruction. What do you do with your new powers? How does it affect your life, and what would you do when faced with a populated world?

Dragon Ball Super 070
Time for a baseball episode (derogatory).
Sigh... All right, let’s just get through this. So Champa contacts Beerus and proposes a friendly game of baseball to build “good relations between Universe 6 and 7.” I’m pretty sure the assemlbed teams represent the only people in either universe that are aware of the other universe.
Some issues with this premise:
1) Champa is only doing this as a pretense to go to Earth and enjoy its delicious cuisine. This seems pointless, as Universe 6′s own Earth was restored in Episode 41. Beerus specifically wished for this so that Champa could enjoy Earth food whenever he liked. Did he forget about this, or does U6′s Earth food just suck? Or maybe the U6 Earthlings destroyed themselves all over again? I mean, the Super Dragon Balls could bring them back to life, but that doesn’t resolve whatever they were fighting over when they died.
2) Champa can’t even field a whole team, so Vegeta and Goten switch sides to make it fair. Maybe they should have organized a Pickleball tournament instead.
3) Only three characters in this cartoon know how to play baseball, and two of them are the umpires. Everyone keeps fucking around and/or trying to hurt one another, because it’s a Dragon Ball cartoon and that’s how they all roll.
Let me just focus on Yamcha here, because he’s the only character who manages to look cool in all of this. Goku manages to strike out Champa, then Yamcha takes over pitching and strikes out two more batters. Then he’s the first at bat, and Vegeta beans him because he thinks the object is to incapacitate the opposing team. So Yamcha gets a free trip to first base.
Then he steals second and third because Champa doesn’t understand the rules well enough to stop him. At one point he throws the ball at Yamcha to cut him off, and apparently that’s illegal. I thought you could do that, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Then Beerus and Champa start fighting above the field, and Whis and Vados have to stop them before it destroys the entire universe. Destroyer Gods fighting is supposed to be a serious taboo, just like time travel. Funny how Beerus destroyed Bulma’s lab, but he gets to keep his hands.
Anyway, Whis and Vados call off the rest of the game due to the Destroyers’ poor sportsmanship, so we didn’t even get a full inning into this nonsense. Champa is horrified to learn that the game is a tie, but it’s not. Universe 7 wins, because...
... While Beerus and Whis were fighting, and all the other players were cowering in terror, Yamcha managed to steal home plate. So U7 wins, 1-0.
This whole episode is played up like a backhanded compliment to Yamcha. He perserveres through the whole episode to win the game, and everyone congratulates him for it, but there’s also a lot of dunking on Yamcha too. Like “Way to go, Yamcha, I guess you’re not completely useless after all!” That sort of thing.
Also, this whole “Yamcha loves this because he used to be a major leaguer” thing kind of contradicts the very episode of DBZ that this is referring to. Yeah, Yamcha was the star player for the Taitans in Age 761, but he also found the game boring as hell, and he only did it for the money.
Sure, he’s had 18 years to change his mind about the game, and I suspect he’s mostly into this because it’s a chance to look cool in front of the others, but this episode is still kind of a let-down for me. There was a baseball issue of the Tenchi Muyo! comic, there was a baseball episode of Deep Space Nine, there was a baseball episode of Transformers, etc. etc. This is the literal definition of a trope shows use to blow off an episode.

say since you do imagines for Dragon ball do you think you could do beerus and champa's reaction after flirting with some attractive woman thy find out that this woman is the mother of Zeno the omni king.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
THE FEAR-
AS IF THEY DIDN'T FEAR THE OMNI-KING ENOUGH-
Oh and it's their competitive hubris that got them in this mess in the first place. Attractive women aren't usually high on the list of either Gods of Destruction, but this one radiates power and has them eyes and she has such a presence, who would pass on talking to such a fascinating being?
Then they spot each other. Already the competition has begun.
"You should visit my universe. I'd be honored to give a proper tour to a woman of your high caliber."
"Please Champa, what sort of woman would want to be bored for all eternity?"
"Mama!"
Mama.
Both gods froze. The cold stab of fear pinned them to their spot. Sweat formed on their heads and rolled with the robotic movement of looking over their shoulders. Omni-king's all-too familiar smile was wide and pointed directly at the woman between the pair.
"Ah, hello sweetheart! How is my lovely son doing today?"
Son.
Son.
"Oh my, they seem to be having some fun. Should we help them dear sister?" Vados shoke her slowly at Whis' question. She grinned serenely, as if watching a bird fly rather than a soon-to-be execution.
"No brother. Let them sort it out. No doubt our capable Gods can explain themselves to Lord Zenos."
