Chapter 231 - 222: Reaction (1/2)

Before everyone realized, minutes soon became hours as the giant blue panel went from image to image, revealing the five battles laid out for him. He didn't dare show what came after that though, as if he would reveal his embrace with Fie, Aht and Michael to those besides his girls.

He didn't reveal the other worlds lined up either, as he would only disclose that to his family. If the Supreme Kai of Time were to join his family too, she would come to learn of it as well.

He also did want to get together with the Grand Minister and Lord Zeno one last time as well before his departure so he can inform the two. Thankfully all of Super only happened in the span of the year, as well as the D*S Broly movie happening in Year 780, of which it was now the beginning of year 788.

Nao was thinking of a game plan as to how to tackle the five fights. Rebirth actually dinged multiple times inside his mind as he first witnessed them, but he had those notifications hidden. Rebirth had actually given him the coordinates to what year and where the five would take place!

As such, as much as Nao wanted to align it to get rid of Fu first, Hearts was actually the closest. He would fight alongside Gogeta, Hit, and Jiren against Hearts first. Fu ended up being second and he was actually secluded in a separate dimension right below the Plaza of Time in TokiToki city, yet no one could find it!

The third opponent would be Alter Jiren. He wasn't sure how this fight would go but Nao wanted to rescue him. But if he is too far from saving, death might be the only option.

The moment the group saw Alter Jiren bound by chains sealed in a stone prison on such a hellish looking planet shocked them quite badly. Toppo and Ribrianne had a quite severe reaction as well, as Toppo almost split the ground he currently sat on apart.

Ribrianne felt her heart torn apart hearing Alter Jiren's yells of anguish, and it didn't take long before flames to light up in both of their eyes, becoming even more determined to rescue him. Everyone also remembered Nao's words saying this was but a mere vision. Yet everything they saw looked all too real to them.

Hearts was also a new face to them. After Hearts announced his presence as a godslayer, Beerus scoffed at him. Yet out of the five they saw, Hearts seemed to be handled the best by Nao and the people he fought alongside him. Toppo's and Ribrianne's expression became shocked once more seeing another copy of Jiren fighting alongside Nao.

As for Broly, everyone but the girls were surprised to learn the existence of another Saiyan. And out of the five matches, they could actually see Nao really enjoy this fight!

Only the last match was probably the most shocking of them all. Even Whis had a very serious look in his eyes. The moment they saw Merus slaughtering the other Angels left a deep mark in their hearts.

Especially so for Sayuri.

”Brother Merus...what happened to you?”, Sayuri said as another wave of pain struck against her heart.

This resulted in her clutching it. All of a sudden she coughed out, and some blood splattered onto her hand. She passed out almost immediately.

”Sister Sayuri!”, the girls exclaimed.

”Not good. Nao you need to come back out!”, Elsa further yelled out.

”Already on it.”

All of a sudden, everyone heard Nao's voice. The blue panel still floated in the air but it no longer displayed any images. Nao cut his link with Whis and his eyes were now open.

He expected some type of reaction from Sayuri but he hadn't expected it would be this bad. He immediately arrived next to Sayuri who could now be seen unconscious in Miya's arms.

Seeing Nao arrive, she passed Sayuri to him and stood back up, placing her hand on her chest, obviously worried. Nao still felt Sayuri's warmth but a pained look could currently be seen on her closed eyes.

He sent his divine ki sense into her body to check if anything was wrong, only to let out a sigh of relief afterward. Whis also did the same and confirmed.

”You needn't worry about Sayuri, Nao. She just collapsed from emotional distress and severe exhaustion. She ended up biting her lip quite hard causing some blood to spew out of it. That should heal on its own given body's healing capabilities but as for the other...she will require proper rest.”

Hearing Whis's diagnosis, Nao nodded in confirmation and replied to him.
