Chapter 55 - 52: Meeting An Overly Rambunctious Teen Who Dreams Of Seeing An Alien (1/2)

Year 733 May Planet Earth West City

West City was known as one of the four major cities on the giant continent. Unlike in Nao's previous life where Earth consisted of multiple continents, the Earth of this universe only had one giant continent with scattered islands to the south, icecaps in the north and very large inland peninsula off to the left. Craggy mountains could be seen surrounding the one giant plain that made up the center of the continent. Scattered forests could also be seen to the far left and to the far right. To the right of the giant peninsula was a single bay, and if one dove straight into it, they would see a huge city that connected its coast. This city was none other than West City.

This was the current destination of Nao and Miya but they still had to stop by Korin's place again to pick up some Sacred Water. Before long Korin's Tower came into to view once again. Korin, who was dozing off as he watched the drifting clouds in the sky suddenly saw two shadows halt in front him outside the observation deck, causing Korin to rub his eyes. The shadows became two figures, Nao and Miya and with his cane in hand, Korin walked toward the two.

”So the two of you came back, eh? Thanks for not trying to sneak up on me this time. Has it already been a day?”

”It sure has been, Korin. Time seems to fly no matter what one does. We were originally planning to go directly to our next destination in mind but I ended up having a breakthrough, so we came to pick up some Sacred Water beforehand.”

”A breakthrough? Glad to see you had some luck up there then. There's already plenty of sealed Sacred Water up here, the two of you can pick one up wherever. Do be careful on handling it though, be sure to keep it sealed until it is meant to be used. It will lose its effects soon enough once its seal is broken only to turn into normal tap water again.”

Nao nodded after listening to Korin, and soon invited himself and Miya into Korin's observation deck. It was the same bare deck that he remembered, only to have a few wooden jars of sealed Sacred Water scattered here and there. After landing, he looked to the left and found a nearby jar, and lifted it in the air. It's weight surprised Nao, as he felt it to be several kilograms, but he remembered that it was filled to the brim with water. Seeing Nao lift up one of the Sacred Water jars with ease did not shock Korin, as he himself could do so as well. Korin then stepped towards Nao.

”You said you had a breakthrough right? Would it be in regards to how you plan to store this jar?”

”That's part of it. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to show you. Korin, you may want to stand back.”

Hearing this, Korin stroked his fur for a moment and then stepped back a few feet with his wooden cane in hand. Miya just smiled at Nao as she knew what was going to happen next, as she personally witnessed the creation of his pocket dimension. Even though it might not be an exciting thing to Nao and Miya, those who never came into contact with the Space element would definitely receive a fright. Nao began to cycle his Ki, and before long he became wrapped with his golden aura.

”Hah!”

Nao let out a yell and then his vision changed, seeing the golden spheres he was ever familiar with. Only he himself could see this as Korin or Miya didn't have affinity with Space. Ever since his Space affinity advanced to its next stage [Advanced], he made a discovery that he could now will the element, instead of having to personally interact with them, which made things quite easier. Even though the others couldn't see Nao interact with the Space element, they could still see the result of him opening up his pocket dimension. Willing a few golden spheres that weren't even the size of his fists, they soon started to spin around in a circular manner, before a space crack started to tear open in front of him. This space crack was about two feet wide and four feet tall, which was just enough to store the Sacred water jar that was only one foot wide and three feet tall.

Nao could make this pocket dimension any size he wished too within the limit of his Ki but he just went with a size slightly larger than the Sacred Water wooden jar. Seeing the atmosphere suddenly change in front of Nao, only to have a space crack form that revealed endless darkness actually scared Korin by quite a bit, and he instinctively retreated back a few steps.

”What in blazes is this thing?”

However before Nao could answer his question, he tossed the jar into the endless darkness and before long the space crack closed once again the the rotating golden spheres stopped, before they dispersed into the air. Nao turned off his aura, which caused the darkness to vanish and the atmosphere returned back to normal, but now there was one less Sacred Water jar, as it just went into Nao's pocket dimension.

”Well Korin have you ever seen someone create a portal before? What I created just now was a pocket dimension of sorts...Kami did mention that Korin was the other deity watching over this planet, testing the wills of martial artists who manage to make their way to Korin's Tower. Surely you must've seen other deities create portals before.”

”Was what I saw just now really a portal? I haven't seen one form in a really long time...Whenever Kami decides to come down here he just teleports with one of his techniques instead. Well, while I would like like to jump start my old noggin, the two of you can't be just mere mortals. Could it be possible that other deities were among your ancestors?”

Hearing Korin's question, Nao thought about it for a moment. Nao recalled the original Super Saiyan God. Over a thousand years ago, Super Saiyans thrived and one of them, being Yamoshi, who was part of the righteous Saiyans, did succeed unlocking his Godly Ki but his power soon vanished, only to be slain by the evil Saiyans soon after. The power of the Godly Ki overwhelmed his body too much and couldn't contain it. In the end, Nao's thoughts dispersed and he shook his head.

”Most records of our ancestors do detail about a certain God but most of our race now treats them as mere fairy tales. I won't say it's out of the question though.”

Korin stroked his fur and tilted his head forward a bit, seemingly to be lost in thought. He did receive quite a shock seeing a portal appear out of nowhere but he soon remembered the two figures in front of them weren't Earthlings. 'I can't seem to recall Saiyans having the power to create portals though', Korin thought to himself. He also shook his head and cleared his thoughts, only to look at Nao and Miya.
