Chapter 227 - 218: Game Plan (2/2)

”Ribrianne, I know a lot has happened but Brother did tell you the details right? Then you ought to now the Miya that I am is different from the one you're familiar with...”

After Miya said that, she wiped away the tears that were pouring down the sides of Ribrianne's cheeks. She became a bit puffy but eventually calmed down and nodded at her.

As for Toppo, he too was inwardly shocked seeing Miya alive, as he saw her die in Ribrianne's arms. Yet he knew this Miya had a different, less mature air around her. She was different.

Learning that there were multiple timelines and each one had different but similar entities can be quite mind-boggling, but one question remained, why him? Why them?

The answer was simple, as Nao explained about the Green Time Ring's existence to him. It was absurd to learn that not only him but the entire D*Z multiverse was born from his thoughts that lead into a vision. Such an existence which are known as alternate timelines is scary in itself.

Yet regardless of how absurd that sounded he knew it was real. No more wishes could have been made in his timeline. Hearts destroyed the gods along with Zamasu's help and Nao was their last lifeline, only to turn into a rampaging monster himself.

The safe haven the Miya of their world often described in the tales she spun to pass the time was literally beneath his feet. He was standing on it and he could see the planet with his own eyes. He knew it well, he had to believe the current circ.u.mstances.

Meanwhile, after Ribrianne calmed down she spoke out to Miya once more.

”I-I know you aren't our Lady Miya but just knowing there's another you out there puts my mind at ease. We've seen too much too destruction...”, Ribrianne said with a somewhat shaky voice.

Hearing this, Miya's expression softened and rubbed her head some more.

”Don't you guys worry, you're here with us now. I believe we're about to develop a game plan to tackle our next steps, right Brother?”

”That's right. Speaking of which, where is Fie?”

”Oh we sent her off to collect Tights. Bulma's birthday party is starting soon so we sent her to being in some more guests. We need to be absolutely prepared for what's to come. Us three contacted the girls. All of them canceled their current plans so they should be here in the next few minutes.”

”Is that alright? I know some if them have been super busy.”

”Nonsense! We can tell what you want to say is serious. All of us should be here to support you. Besides if things go well Goku, Lord Beerus and the others should arrive as well.”

”You're bringing them into this matter? You know how sensitive Lord Beerus is to matters of time. He may give some leeway knowing I'm the disciple of the Supreme Kai of Time, but if he catches onto Toppo and Ribrianne here he will know.”

”I know, but from your first vision alone its matter pertains to the safety of our Universe. We have to take the risk. You're strong enough to be on par with Lord Beerus aren't you by now, Brother?”

”That is true, the more the merrier as they always say. I was only shown who I was going to fight, there could be many unknowns still.”

Hearing Nao and Miya converse with each other shocked Toppo once more as the two brought up some names he hadn't heard in a while. He took a good look at Nao as well, and something clicked inside his mind.

”Now that I got a good look at you, you really are dressed similarly to the Supreme Kai. I don't who this Supreme Kai of Time is but now I know why you're acting so calmly despite all of this happening. You're a god in this time, aren't you, Nao?”

”A god? Nao is!?, Ribrianne also asked with curiosity in her eyes. It was funny to see that reaction as the skin beneath her eyes was still puffy from crying earlier.

Hearing Toppo ask this, Nao nodded.

”That's right. What was I like in your time, Toppo? Was I not a god?”

”Far from it, Nao. We learned that you ventured all around the Universes to collect sources of Origin Ki. You transcended mortal limits time and time again but never achieved Divine Energy. You pursued the limits of your bloodline that was locked within. Lady Miya mentioned this story quite often and through the most part you kept the power stabilized but near the end it went haywire and that bastard Hearts showed up. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.”

Ribrianne nodded, confirming Toppo's words.

”Yeah, pretty much what Toppo said. Out of all of us I fear you may have received the biggest tragedy, Nao. But after learning where we are now, I can see our long lost hope has returned!”

”Well put, Ribrianne, haha! For what Fu has done to Jiren I swear I will crush this evil with my own hands, I will put my last pride as the surviving member of the Pride Troopers for it. Yet even then I fear my strength will not be enough. Nao. Will you consider aiding us and putting an end to this filth once and for all?, Toppo asked with a new look of resolution in his eyes.

Hearing Toppo say that with a laugh, Nao smiled. He then nodded as he answered him.

”No need to ask that, Toppo! I was planning to crush Fu with my own hands. On top of what has,already happened, he dared to touch my family. But we mustn't make too much haste. Let us wait for the others and plan out our actions first.”

”Yes, I agree with doing that! I don't want to experience any more of this sadness! We need to return love to our time!”, Ribrianne also shouted with a look of resolution.

Now nodded once more seeing Ribrianne's resolution. Before the group realized, Nao heard some activity in the Portal room and felt many [Gates] activate at once. It didn't take long before multiple sounds of stomping feet to echo in the throne room. He spoke out out to the group hearing this.

”Speak of the devil, looks like everyone is starting to arrive. I wonder how many of us will appear this time?”
