Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After sparring with Meloka and deciding how to attack the next system, Karn once more went into the healing pod to fix the damage he’d sustained training. And while in the pod, Karn had a vision of the future where several individuals with black dragon’s tattooed on them held Meloka hostage for the Covenant’s worms. After waking, and speaking with the ancient spectre of Bane about this, Karn went back to his room where Aku suddenly returned. After explaining what had happened to himself, Aku revealed the Bloodstone had changed into a Soulstone, and bound itself to him. Then later, after the battles for the Sylvaas system began, Karn received a call for help. Teleporting to Acaagus, Karn’s Barrier technique was exactly the skill needed to defeat the Covenant’s overwhelming anti-air capabilities. And as we rejoin Karn, the tide of battle is turning.

GWWRRROOOOOAAAAAAAR!!” dozens of other Oozaru bellow in response to Nappa’s Golden Oozaru battle roar, the three non-Oozaru Saiyans still in the Barrier with you cheering as well. Now that you’ve got the weak point covered, it’s time to watch your fellow Saiyans go to war! Well, war isn’t exactly the right word for it. More like a slaughter.
“BAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” Nappa fires a beam from his mouth, slicing through hundreds of the thousands of enemy fighters in the air. With the newly-awakened threat the enemy forces rally towards you, and more specifically your Barrier. They know that if those Power Balls stay up, they simply cannot win.

“General, behind us!” one of the pther Saiyans shout, you glancing behind your shoulder to see more fighters approaching. And with your Barrier up, you or your allies cannot fire ki attacks out through the shield. The only way to attack them currently would be in the exact moment they fly through your Barrier, and hope they don’t fire before you can.

What do you do?
>Expand your Barrier outwards, giving you a bit more room and time to work with but also a greater surface for their ships to slip through
>Tell them to hold on to you and keep their orbs close, use your lspeed to keep the enemy from ramming into and destroying the Power Balls
>Shrink your Barrier to just around the Power Balls themselves, leaving you and the other Saiyans to fend the ships off without that protection

I’ll expand the Barrier, the moment I do shoot them down! Got it?” you call, gathering more of your energy into your right hand as even more approach from your front. You’re gonna have to time this just right, and hope your allies can keep up. “Ready?”
“SIR!” they all shout, you feeling a slight increase in their powerlevels as they focus.
“Alright, on three! One, two-!” you say, Scattershot readied in your right hand. If this works, it won’t matter how many are approaching you from the front. “THREE!!”

And as you shout you put more energy into the Barrier, doubling it’s size almost instantly as you toss your Scattershot forward. Dozens of emerald blasts fly from your hands, turning that arc before you into a field of explosions. And despite their energy shielding, none of the Covenant fighters can withstand the barrage. Near-simultaneously they all explode, you wiping out nearly a score of them in a single attack. Glancing over your shoulder you see several explosions going off behind you, the trio doing their part. But it’s clear they still aren’t that used to fighting multiple enemies approaching from several directions, as within a few seconds one breaks through from above. With only a second to react you squint, unleashing your Guided Eye Beams and turning them right at the attacking ship. Before ypur beams can reach it tries to fire one of it’s energy bombs, but your beams pierce through the blast and destroy it before it could get close enough to the Power Balls. They then continue through the fighter and pilot, killing it and detonating the small ship.

And so the battle goes for the next few minutes, the four of you destroying fighter ships by the score until their suicidal attacking rushes finally stop. When the enemies quit rushing you pause a moment to see why, and realize it’s obvious. All around you, where before there was a sprawling enemy fortress is now nothing more than smoking craters, brutalized corpses, and wrecked machinery. Oh, and Oozaru. Lots of Oozaru.

“GWWWWRROOOOOAAAAAARR!!!” Golden Oozaru King Vegeta bellows from atop a building’s ruins, pounding his chest as hundreds of Oozaru answer him. And then, he begins speaking. Or rather, roaring to his people. “This world is ours! No one can stop us!!”

“RRRROOOOOAAAAAARRR!!” Hundreds of Oozaru bellow in response, your Barrier straining under the sudden surge of pressure. And as the cry begins to die down you let go of the Barrier, sighing out as the mental strain from holding it up so long eases away.
“General, are you okay?” one of the three Saiyans shout as they rush over to you, trying to catch you should you fall. But you shake your head, catching yourself and turning to the three of them.
“I’m fine.” you say, actually taking the three of them in since you arrived. The tallest of the bunch, a large, well-muscled figure’s entire upper body seems to be covered in some nasty burns, but despite the agony seems fine. The other two, a boy and a girl who’re so alike they remind you of Tatsu and Tomi both have their fair share of burns too, but both are ib far better shape than the larger one. “What about you three?”

“It’ll take more than a few direct hits to stop me!” the large one says boastfully, yet you can easily tell, thanks to extensive personal experience in the matter, that despite his bravado he’s on his last legs. A stiff enough breeze will knock him out at this point.
“I think I can continue.” says the smaller man, who actually has the highest energy among the three of them. And looking closer, aeems to be in the best shape damage-wise.
“Me too.” his twin says, and despite the left side of her head being burned pretty seems still ready to fight if needed. But is it needed anymore? This battle seems to be finished. But is it? If there are any hidden attackers are left, now would be the ideal time to strike

“Let’s see if there’s anyone left first.” you say, closing your eyes and focusing on expanding your ki senses out. Of course Nappa’s and Vegeta’s energies are most prominent, being the other strongest fighters on the planet in their Golden Oozaru forms. Their massive powerlevels act like shields, blocking you at first from sensing anyone else’s power. But as you block their gigantic powers off your senses, you are more easily able to feel the mass of other powerlevels around you. Hundreds of the other Oozaru surrounding the four of you are what you can sense next, or more accurately are currently assaulting your senses.

With everyone here in their Oozaru or Golden Oozaru forms, and their powers multiplied tenfold, the sheer power of the gathered transformed Saiyans radiates like a beacon against your senses. Yet despite this, you can still sense the comparatively small five, maybe six digit powerlevels of the three Saiyans all flying next to you. But with them, for an instant you sense something else. You barely feel anything, but you know one thing’s certain: the four of you aren’t alone.

“Behi-!” you shout, when suddenly through each of the twins’ chest sprout more than a foot of Covenant Energy Blade. “You bastard!”
“Wha-NOOOOOO!!” the larger man shouts, pulling back his right fist. But before he can swing, his arm is sliced apart at the right elbow. “GAAAAAH!!”
“HRRRAAAAAAAA!!!” you roar, unleashing your Berserker form’s full power. You feel something behind you smashing into your swelling energy, your power blasting it back. “You bastards are gonna pay!!”

And as your shout still hangs in the air you unleash your power while the large man’s still screaming. Firing a pair of piercing beams straight from your eyes at the one Sangheili who’d stabbed both twins from behind, it drops both blades and tries to leap away. Both shots catch the Sangheili in the upper torso and left arm, but neither beam hit a critical location. So as your beams pierce through it’s body you redirect them towards the one that disarmed your ally, adding another pair of holes to the first. This time your beams hit true, both through the first’s head then into the second’s chest.

“DIE!!” another one shouts from behind you, it’s energy rapidly closing in. So again you redirect your twin energy beams, both piercing center mass of the energy behind your back. In less than two seconds, you took down all three would-be assassins. But because of the injuries the Saiyans sustained, all three Power Balls rapidly fading as their creators do.

“Dammit.” you snarl under your breath, catching both the twins before they can fall. “Dammit dammit!”
“K-Karn...” one of them, the girl struggles to get out. “I-I’m so....ry.”
“Shhh, save your strength. I’m gonna save you.” you say, rapidly dropping down to the ground. Maybe if you can get them into their pods, then maybe, just maybe...
“It was...an honor to.” the boy says, interrupted by him violently coughing up his blood onto you. “Fight. With.... Yo....”

And then, within a second or two, you feel both of their fading ki fully vanish. They’re both gone, just like that. You’d never even learned their names.

“FUCK!! Are they...?” the man asks from behind you, you glancing over your right shoulder to him. And despite all the agony he’s clearly in, his first concern is his friends’ safety. And seeing the look of worry on his face, combined with the shape he’s currently in, you aren’t sure he’d survive the news.

Well? What do you do, general?

>>Lay them down on the ground and back up, give him a moment with his deceased friends

I think while he might take the sight of his dead friends badly, he will make it. I mean it's very sad what happened, but he will be able to see them now.

Karn can pour some of his Ki energy into him. Karn did this many times to save injured who were threatened by death. It seemed to have stabilizing effect, and allowed them to survive long enough to get properly healed.

Sadly the twins died so quickly Karn could not even try this.
It would be nice if we could learn the names of those three Saiyans.

You say nothing, going down on a knee and gingerly laying both of them on the ground. You then stand up, and take a few steps back away from the deceased pair. Wordlessly the bigger man stumbles over to them, dropping to his knees. He reaches out with his right stump first, as if reflex, then seeing his missing arm next to his dead friends breaks down. The man before you just crumbles before your eyes, loud, ugly sobs echoing across the war-torn landscape. His desperate cries and sobs of agony hit you right in the gut, you feeling yourself nearly about to cry too. But then you feel it.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=qvtowY2d0MY

“What?” you mutter, feeling the man’s power beginning to spike as the ground beneath you trembles. Lightning flashes in the darkening sky, once, twice, three times, nearly striking the man as he begins trembling. Whether from outrage, pain, or just sheer anger you’re not sure, but as you watch his hair begins flickering back and forth from black to golden and back again as he slams his left fist repeatedly into the ground.
“Dammit! Dammit dammit DAAAAAAAAAMMIIIIIIT!!!” he cries in one final, soul-tearing scream. His hair shifts fully to the familiar golden of Super Saiyan, his aura blazing up as lightning begins crackling around his frame. And right before you eyes, another Super Saiyan is born. You watch as the newest Super Saiyan gingerly rises back to his feet, stumbling a bit as he turns around towards you. He tries to say something, but as he opens his mouth, his eyes roll up into the back of his head. His aura disappears almost instantly, the injured man falling forward.

“I gotcha.” you say, closing the distance instantly and catching the man before he hits the ground. You feel his energy has already started leaking, so with a hint of desperation place your right hand on his back, and begin pouring your own energy into him. You feel the man’s energy begin to stabilize, but this can’t last. With the injuries he’s already sustained, added on top of all the blood he’s lost from the missing limb, he can’t have much time left. And unlike his friends, you will save him!

We needed telepathy to come here didn't we?

>>4534765
Yes. And Karn can form a telepathic link with any willing being he’s met.

>>4534749
>>Keep him close to you, focus, and Instant Transmission him directly to Dr. White’s side

>>4534765
Good point, our IT choices were limited when reaching the planet iirc. If we can even lock onto a decent target from here, the focus it would take might leave us vulnerable, and if we send the pod on it's own we leave it wide open for every covenant scrub that would love to intercept and kill a new super saiyan.

If this succeeds the Saiyan will be delivered to the him and the healing pod in probably the quickest way we can make it.

“Dammit! I’m not letting you die too!” you snarl, clutching him tight with your left as you bring your right hand to your forehead. Reaching out telepathically, you link your mind to the one man who can save this man. “Dr. White! We have an emergency! Ready a healing pod, right now!”
“Karn? What’s wrong?” he asks you, but you aren’t listening. Instead you’re focusing on his unique energy, and while there isn’t a lot of it, it seems almost like it’s on a different frequency than most others’ energy you’ve connected to. And after another moment’s focus, you do it. Focusing on Dr. White, with your desperation fueling you, your Instant Transmission is a success! One moment you’re holding him in the middle of a battlefield, and the next you and the maimed Saiyan warrior are standing inside Dr. White’s sanitized office space. “Karn? Hurry, over here.”

Always the professional, Dr. White directs you and your unconscious ally towards the nearest open pod, you gingerly setting him inside. The good doctor quickly hooks him up, then rushes to his desk and begins sealing the pod up. It closes with a hiss, then swiftly begins filling with the healing fluid. His fingers fly over the keys, not looking up as he asks you the question.

“What happened down there?” he asks, you again feeling that punch to the gut as you recall his heart-wrenching cries. And you feel your own fists clenching, trembling with helpless rage.
“It’s my fault.” you say, voice nearly breaking. You take a second to recover, taking a deep, shaky breath before continuing. “That wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t with me. Him, or his team. He-He’s the only one left. The others died, they killed right in front of me. By those damn splitjaws!”

As you shout, aura flaring angrily around you, you realize you’d been shouting. And even worse, close to losing your grip over your Berserker power. Cutting loose here wouldn’t help so you seethe a long breath out, reverting back to your base form.

“Sorry.” you apologize, clutching your head in your hands as the scene you’d just witnessed plays out over and over, different ways you could have acted and saved them all flashing before your eyes. “I should have saved them. They were right there. If I’d been faster, or-“

And, to your surprise, Dr. White interrupts your rambling by smashing one of the overhead robotic surgery-assising arms down atop your head.

“Gaah? What the hell?!” you shout at him, confused as you grab at where the metal limb hit you.
“Enough of this.” he says, leaving his desk and walking over to you. He has a hard look in his eyes, almost like he’s staring through you and straight into your soul as he grabs both your shoulders, even though he has to stretch a bit to do so. “I know you. You did not let those soldiers die. They may have passed on, but know this: they would have given their lives just for a chance to fight by your side.”
“Wh-What?” you ask him, shocked to hear that. “What do you mean?”
“You may not have known this, but the soldiers love you.” he says, speaking firmly to you. “Not like you love your wife, or your kids, but love all the same. They idolize you. You are Saiyan, the peak of everything they aspire to be. If they knew that their deaths would mean you’d be alive and standing here, every single soldier would take that deal.”

“What the hell?” you say, not asking him but just overwhelmed. You can’t stay standing, dropping to the ground and shaking your head. “How? I’m not the strongest, like Lord Freeza, or their beloved king like Vegeta. Why? Why would they?”
“Because of what you are.” he says, grunting uncomfortably as he takes a knee beside you, laying his right hand across your back. “You are hope. No matter how bad things seem, you’re always there to save the day. Even a demon lord, leading an army straight out of the depths of Hell that defeated Freeza, Vegeta, Ubo, your wife, hell even King Cold himself alone fell to you. You are more than a general, Karn: you are their hero. Their savior, who will lead them to victory. And if giving up their life can keep someone like you alive, well, now that’s not a hard trade for most people to make.”

“How?” you ask him, just feeling overwhelmed. “How would you know this?”
“When you’re in your pod there, others come in with injuries.” he says, using your shoulder to help push himself back up to his feet. “And people talk. Seeing their hero, battered and bloody to protect them, they share their true feelings. Feelings many wouldn’t feel free to say to your face. Many understand the burden you carry, and want to help you share the load. But they aren’t fools, and most know they’d only be in the way when you’re fighting. But they dream. They aspire to fight at your side, to carry the hopes and dreams of the Saiyan people on their backs as you do every day. So don’t you dare disrespect their memory, saying it’s your fault they died. They were heroes, who’s sacrifices will not be forgotten.”

“WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” you hear Karn Jr’s scream from here, feeling the sudden dramatic spike in his powerlevel as someone else screams in pain.
“Now, I think you should go. Your son needs you.” Dr. White says, his tone softening. “You are a good man, Karn. Don’t let the enemy take that from you.”
“I won’t.” you say, pushing yourself back to your feet. “Thank you. For everything.”

You turn towards the door, walking out of the medbat and into the common area to witness a bizarre sight. Karn Jr, the golden mane of Super Saiyan Three framing his entire body, is standing atop the back of the couch where you’d left him earlier. but what’s concerning is poor Orlen, the man’s clearly-broken leg held in your young son’s small fist as he flails his arms angrily. What the hell happeneded here?

And how the hell do you handle this?

“Dammit.” you say, dashing forward and grabbing both Orlen’s let and your son’s hand. “Alright kiddo, you gotta let go.”
“Waaaaa-aaaaaahhh?” Karn Jr vocalizes, eyes widening in surprise as he sees you. But his grip also loosens, you taking advantage of that instant and pull poor Orlen’s leg free.
“Fuck! Fuckfuckfuckfuckfu-!!” he’s still shouting for several seconds after you pull him free, then when he feels Karn Jr’s not longer got him in his grasp opens his eyes warily. “Wha-Karn?! When did you-?”
“Looks like I got back just in time.” you say, your youngest son’s furious power evaporating as you pick him up and hold him to your right shoulder. “Need a hand?”

“No, but thanks.” Orlen says, reaching up and clasping your left hand with his own. You haul him back upright, your former pilot carefully keeping his broken, limply-hanging foot off the ground. “I’mma go see Doc now.”
“Sorry about him.” you say, referencing you now-peaceful son. “Get yourself taken care of, that looks painful.”
“Yeah. It is.” he says through gritted teeth, slowly floating over towards Dr. White’s door. “Thanks for the help.”
“Thanks for watching him.” you reply, Orlen going through the door and it shutting behind him. You look down at your son, who’s smiling innocently like he didn’t just maim your friend. Which really drives home the point, you can’t leave your son with the old crew. As much as you like these guys, they aren’t physically capable of restraining him if he starts getting rowdy. He could have killed them, completely by accident and they wouldn’t have been able to stop him. You’re gonna have to figure something else out going forward.

“Is it over?” the familiar voice of Alice calls from the attached kitchen, you turning and seeing several familiar faces. Alice and a few of the other cooks are all peering around the corner cautiously, acting curiously terrified. But when they see you have your son, they all breathe a collective sigh of relief. “Oh thank the Kais you’re back. Your little boy’s been raging for the past few minutes, I thought poor Orlen was gonna die.”
“Nah, he’s tougher than that.” you say casually, trying to ease the tension out of them. “Orlen’s been rocked by bigger threats than my boy is right now, and he’s still standing.”
“If you say so.” the darker skinned, silver-haired boy says as they all start getting back to work. “We’ll have lunch ready in an hour or so, if you’re hungry.”
“Of course.” you reply, thinking to yourself. You have an hour to just be. No immediate problems or enemies present, which makes you wonder: what are you going to do with a whole hour to yourself?

And that’s it for tonight, everyone enjoying this episode so far? I wanted to get a little further, but at this point I’ll probably be asleep before typing out another full-length post, much less two. Ready to see what happens next, and what other troubles await you? Curious what planets you’ll venture to, and what other tricks the Covenant have up their sleeves? All this and more, when Saiyan Conqueror Quest resumes in 12 hours from now

>>4535212
Thanks for the run GD
Though I do have one question, are we really not needed still on the battlefield? Even if we cleared the immediate base and landing our leaving was rather sudden and I was under the assumption the squad we were with were responsible for protecting abd maintaining the power balls, weren't they?

>>4535243
Once the others went Oozaru, the Covenant defenses fell pretty quickly. The battle was over

>>4535212
>And that’s it for tonight, everyone enjoying this episode so far?
Yes

>>4535243
>Though I do have one question, are we really not needed still on the battlefield?
The big battle seemed to be over at the moment. Without the squad there, the power balls will disappear and they all revert, but that is not a problem. Just pick another 2-4 Saiyans who will make new ones if needed.

Though while it appears that the main fight is finished, there may still be trouble there. Same we just witnessed.
>Hidden sneaky splitjaw assassins may wait for moments when our forces relax and let their guard down.
>Only to be surprised by being stabbed in the back with an energy blade.
Maybe Karn with his good Ki sense could find the still alive remains of enemy forces.

>>4535202
> which makes you wonder: what are you going to do with a whole hour to yourself?
Not an easy choice.
If we want to keep searching for those assassins that may be there, we need to get back on the battlefield with Karn Jr.

Though honestly given this situation as a whole maybe it would be nice to get some lesson from Darth Bane on topic of sensing living beings through the Force.
>Then again with Karn Jr on our shoulder we probably won't be able to focus much on learning.

Though choices, right now we probably can't leave Karn Jr alone.

>>4535601
Does it even need to be a saiyan that makes a powerball? Couldn't anyone with good enough ki control do it?

>>4535602
Probably anybody with good Ki control skills could make it. I remember that Ctarl-Ctarl really wanted to learn the power ball technique.

>>4535601
Good. There may be more of them skulking about, but the battle is over.
>>4535602
No. The Ctarl-Ctarl have been taught to make them as well.
>>4535605
Yes. But those with evolved connections to their moons have an easier time learning it, as they can feel the required wavelengths.

With a whole hour, you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself when suddenly a familiar mind links itself to yours.

“Karn, you gotta get your ass over here and see this!” Arctus thinks to you. “We got a problem! A big one!”
“I’m there.” you reply, focusing on Arctus’s ki as you swich your son to your left arm then bring your right hand up. Placing the first two fingers of that hand on your forehead you focus on Arctus’s ki, and use Instant Transmission to teleport right to his side. “What’s the problem?”
“Look at it!” he shouts, pointing at his screen. And to your surprise, you see a massive, fiery demon. “That’s one big fuckin’ monster!”

“What is that?” you ask, then realize a fre more pertinent question. “Wait, this is live? Who’s feed?”
“It’s Meloka’s!” he says, his usual drunken, slurry facade absent. “This is her scouter’s live feed, right now from Planet Zeroyvik!”
“Of course those bastards work with demons.” you say angrily, watching your wife casually defeat the demon’s opening attack. But she doesn’t just sit on the defensive, spinning and slicing her way up the demon’s arm just to toss her blades right into the giant’s eyes before creating her massive, colossus-slaying ki blade. “Well, it’s over now.”

“Over? What do you mean ov-?” Arctus asks, just as Meloka proves your point. The giant blade cuts deep, but after breaking her blade the demon makes one more mistake, and left the shattered half in it’s neck instead of removing it. Which turned out to be a lethal mistake, your wife detonating all that energy. It didn’t just damage it, her attack completely decapitated the demon! “Oh... Well, that was quick.”
“Told you.” you tell him, feeling more than a little bit smug. “Meloka doesn’t hold back.”
“AaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH!!” Karn Jr says, waving his arms around excitedly. “Mmmmaaaaaaaaa!”
“Haha, you said it kiddo.” you say, ruffling his golden hair with your free hand. “Your momma’s the best.”
“Speaking of which, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to ask you.” Arctus says, in a much more serious tone. Then he surprises you more, switching from direct speech to telepathy. And as he asks you the question, your eyes widen in surprise.

But what, or who, did he ask you about?
>An old, blue demon who has visited him in his dreams
>Towa reaching out to him, and checking in on you specifically
>Karn Jr somehow being born already a Super Saiyan
>Visions he’s been having, of Meloka being captured and held helpless
>The Dark presence he has sensed in you from time to time

In specific where demons fit in the lore is intrinsically connected to the gods both in dragon ball and in Dark Souls
>In DB Demons seem to share the same race with the kais the very founders of the demon realm being disgraced kais
>In DS demons were made by the attempt to create a Second Flame by the Witch of Izalith it backfired creating the bed of chaos and turning the place into a magma hellscape
>Pyromancy is strongly connected to souls but it also can result into demons and even be used as energy
>you know what is demonic, based into souls and also be used as powerfull energy source?
>Argent energy from DOOM
>Argent energy is pretty attractive even to so called angels and gods
My theory is that The witch of izalith by accident created DOOM hell with the dark being used as a way proliferate between realms and considering their cycles with the GoDs, yemma's power up fruit and the kai's fruit of the tree of might who curiously are supposed to be in a realm were souls are lobotomized unless you are considered evil (ie free target) or useful pawns I suspect the otherworld is just were they store souls to be haversted all kais to some extent eat argent energy with the Demon gods being the ones who went nuts from soul kool aid and wanted everything to be harvested instead of waiting then to be 'ripe' like the normal kais do, this would even explain why the time bitch lets so many die because if they didn't they would starve and risk another Age Of The Dark and the Light of the current Gods (and how kais grows from FRUITS IN THE OTHERWORLD) their God Ki is Argent Energy Refined and incorporated into their being that is why demons can simply achieve god forms by being powerful enough and why saiyans gain god forms is something spiritual, Argent Energy is the closest thing to The First Flame that made the Gods of Dark Souls.
Well this is it for now I gotta go now hope I Didn't overreach either this quest has be an doozy and trying to figure out where everything fits is very fun.

“Your son, he’s really a Super Saiyan, right?” he asks you. “This isn’t some sort of ruse, right?”
“Of course he is.” you reply, confused. “The hell are you talking about? Why would we try and fake him being who he is?”
“I thought as much.” he replies, this time aloud instead of telepathically. “Have you really thought through all the implications of this?”
“What do you mean?” you ask him. “Arctus, what’s wrong?
“Have you considered your son’s future?” he asks seriously, not answering you. “And how mant beings out there will want to steal him away from you, and turn your son into a weapon?”
“Did you...?” you start, then switch to telepathy. “Did you talk to Fu too?”
“Who?” he asks aloud, that one question making it clear he hasn’t spoken with the demon about this at least. “You’ve made a lot of enemies, Karn. And not all of them are from our timeline. Especially now that-“

“Yeah, I’m still working that one out.” you say, cutting him off. As far as your enemies know, your Towa and Future Chaya are still able to help you and aren’t being essentially held captice by the Supreme Kai of Time should enemy time travelers arrive. And you don’t want them to know that right now, you’re essentially on your own. Fu hasn’t ever really helped you, and you still aren’t entirely sure about Mechikabura. Although, anyone who the time Kai hates can’t be all bad, right?
“But that’s not the biggest problem.” he continues. “Ever since she went down there, I wanted to ask you about him. As strong as your kid is, he’s still an infant. And someone will have to watch him while the two of you go off to war.”

“Yeah, we ran into that problem today.” you say, quickly telling him what happened to poor Orlen when you got back.
“If you don’t mind, I could watch the little rugrat.” Arctus says, actually catching you by surprise. “I’m durable enough he won’t hurt me, and I can keep him busy.”
“You’d really do that?” you ask him. “Even if it paints a giant target on your back?”
“As the only one aboard who can fix this ship, I already have one target.” he replies. “One more doesn’t make much of a difference. So, what do you say?”

Well?

“Really? You’d do that for us?” you ask him.
“Of course.” he replies confidently. With everything happening right now, it’s the least I can do for you.”
“I really appreciate it.” you say, meeting his gaze. “This means a lot to us. I know Meloka will be more relaxed going forward knowing you’re watching out for him.”
“Of course.” he says then starts suddenly as if remembering something. “Oh! Hey, before you go. I want you to take a look at something, and tell me what you think.”

“Yeah, sure.” you answer, watching as he types away at his sprawling keyboard. The screen changes, lines of script appearing as he accesses something else. You’re curious about what it could be, and soon enough you’re greeted to the sight of an unfamiliar world. You recognize the Dreadzone logo on the mechanical sentries posted about a fortress, presumably seeing things from security cameras. “Ok, where are we looking at?”
“This is the Hive homeworld.” Arctus says, shocking you. How did he get thi-Right, Vox. “And this is how Vox’s defenses usually handle enemy attacks.”

He speeds up the footage until the sky darkens, and you witness the Hive’s assault. Thousands of those monstrous creatures try and attack, and the mechanical soldiers of Vox’s army and the mounted weapons fire upon them. And of the thousands of approaching creatures, not a one actuallt reaches the defenders.

“Not bad.” you say once it’s over. You think you know where this is going, but don’t offer what Broly and Chilli’d told you before. “So what’s the problem?”
“This.” he says, changing the video. It’s from the same place as before, but clearly after a lot of time has passed. The plains the Hive creatures had run over before are covered in craters, scorch marks, and bits and pieces of Hivelings are scattered about. But as the day turns to dark, another army approaches. But this group isn’t rushing mindlessly into death. In fact, the Dreadzone soldiers stand down, letting the Hive creatures into the perimeter without resistance.

“What the hell?!” you shout, furiously. “How the fuck did that fishy bastard allow this to happen?!”
“Vox was still on the planet when this went down.” Arctus says, shaking his head. “It isn’t as flashy as the cam feeds, but when the alarms went off he locked down his own chambers. If he were trying something like this for the ratings, he wouldn’t have stayed behind. Vox is a coward, through and through. No, this reeks of external sabotage.”

“You think someone broke into Vox’s systems?” you ask, Arctus giving you a blank look as security footage plays behind his head. “That footage isn’t public either, right?”
“If I can hack into Vox’s inner network, completely undetected, then someone else could reasonably do the same.”
“Broly and Chaya told me about that after it happened, but having them just walk through the doors is insane.” you say, barely restraining a snarl. “Do you have any idea who could have done this?”

“I have a few suspicions.” Arctus says, the change in his tone making it clear that he has at least one person in mind. “But if it’s really who U suspect, then I’m not ready to take him on. Not with the Lucrehulk’s security still having so many exploitable weaknesses. I may search around a bit, and put a few feelers our, but I won’t take any actions yet.”
“Thanks Arctus.” you say, holding your right hand out to him. “You need anything, just let me know.”
“Will do.” he replies, taking your hand for a few moments before turning back to the computer. You watch for a few moments, but the speed Arctus flips between displays is really disorienting. So you take your leave, carrying your smiling Super Saiyan son with you.

With that done, what do you do now?

“C’mon, let’s go play kiddo.” you say, turning and heading towards the exterior.
“Aaaaaahh!” your son shouts excitedly, then looks curiously down at his hands. And as you see what draws his attention, your heart stops. Blood. Your heart rate accelerates faster than you can, you holding your son out and checking him over. His hands and upper body are all covered in blood, yet it doesn’t seem to be his. Looking down, you realize that you are also covered in blood. And for the first time in a long time, it isn’t your own blood. You remember again what happened earlier today and sigh out, panic dissipating as swiftly as it’d come.

“Come on, let’s go get cleaned up first.” you say to him, carrying your son to the nearest airlock. He gazes out into space, eyes wide with wonder as he looks out. “You ready to go out kiddo?”
“AAAaaaaaah? AAAAAH AAAAAHH!!” Karn Jr shouts out, clearly ready to do this. So you take a deep breath in, and as you breathe out form your Barrier around you both. “Aaaahhhh?”
“Yeah. Don’t go out through this door without me, okay?” you say, then step through the energy airlock. You fly slowly through the space from the command center to the left arm, passing back into the airlock without issue. And once you both are well inside you drop the shield, walking both of you to the open shower beside the training room. Each chamber has one attached to the exterior, to wash off the sweat, blood, and any other possible fluids before leaving the area. So you start the water to running, and quickly wash your fellow Saiyans’ blood off of the two of you.

“Aaaaaaaahhh!!” Karn Jr shouts excitedly as you leave the shower, shaking the water off and giggling to himself.
“Alright, let’s go.” you say, opening the gravity chamber and walking in. Setting your son down you pull the door shut, then turn back to him. And to your surprise, he’s not there! “Kiddo? Wha-?”
“Aaaaaah!!” he shouts, from above you of all places. And looking up, your son looks like he’s flying! “Aaaaah aaaaaahh!!”
“Not anotha’ move, Saiyan.” a menacing voice hisses. And from behind your son a humanoid woman apprars, her right hand holding your kid by the back of his collar as the left brings a curved knife around to his throat. “Or the kid ‘ere gets it.”
“Don’t you fucking dare.” you say, voice dropping menacingly. “You so much as scratch him, and your death will be slow, and painful.”

“I so much as scratch ‘em, the kid’s good as dead anyways.” she replies, the knife’s edge resting right against his throat. “So you’re the big bad Karn, huh? Yer a bit smaller than I’d thought you’d be.”

If you want Karn’s undivided attention, just threaten his family. Not saying you’ll survive doing it, but it works. Now the better question is of course, what this person wants

>>4536307
>Now the better question is of course, what this person wants
Somebody like her has to realize she's not making it out of this alive.
So as for what she wants...well you said it yourself. She probably wanted Karn's undivided attention.
As for why, I'm starting to get the feeling our glimpse of the future just got a whole lot more relevant.
I'm sure just distracting us for 5 minutes is a perfect opening for somebody who wants to attack our allies.

This indeed seems like a great idea.

GD keeps hinting that Kira has something important to say. No problem. We can listen to her after Guldo saves Karn Jr from her grip during the time stop.

Also if Guldo saves Karn Jr again, we should seriously think about some way to thank him.

Oh, I thunk I've got it! It did twitch, waaaaaaaay back when we randomly woke up and thought it was paranoia. I bet that wasn't actually a false alarm and she's been here since then just biding her time, and since we've never acted on it our senses have chosen to ignore her.

>>4537588
It’s just a prank bro!
>>4537598
We’ll have to wait and see, won’t we?
>>4537710
Heh.

I always enjoy anons who pay attention, and more importantly remember

If this is a god damn Nefarious AI or a tech clone or something hacking into their systems I swear to god....

>>4538001
I’ll go ahead and also say this, Nefarious isn’t responsible for that hack. 100% certified, if I’m wrong then I can’t QM anymore and have gone full hack

>>4538036
ALERT: Nefarious has hacked the QM's phone.

>>4538036
I can't believe GD can't QM anymore

>>4538036
No, nefarious went hack, cant you read???

>>4538144
>>4538297
Ha
>>4538334
But he didn’t. If he’d left some sort of AI out and about, it would have kept the projects and Nefariousbots all working, instead of them all shutting down.

>>4538396
Sorry, that was supposed to be read as a joke

>>4538842
When I’m not 100% certain it’s a joke, I’ll explain like that. Just in case

>>4538891
So GD, this new general is he per chance the one responsible for this, or is it Black Dragon? He's been recording us so far, and knows a lot about us, so there's no doubt he knew this woman wasn't going to get out alive, and that there'd be nothing she could do in time to stop us. Is the message perhaps not solely directed to us, but also a test run of what our instincts will and will not pick up? If I'm not wrong, he's probably going to do one more test, or maybe he's already had one test done that failed, before he starts making waves right?

So far he, and by extension we know that our senses can't pick up enemies in locations they've always been who aren't acting. We know from past experience that we can still locate enemies in places we have been as seen with our ship, but whether the splitjaw big brain knows is up for anyone's guess? No, wait, he's already tested this didn't he? We found a stand user sneaking aboard, that was probably his own test of whether being there already was the factor, or foreign locations, or something else was the factor. He also knows that though we can sense interference that doesn't necessarily mean we know where, and that can assume we were either ignoring the instincts flaring, or they stopped after a period of time. And perhaps even more recently, he knows as long as we're in battle and the target is not Karn at all, our instincts are either slow to activate or don't at all. The Splitjaw has been trying to get to us through family, both with Karn Jr. attempted kidnapping, and with Meloka if the future is to be trusted.

Here's the question then? Why Karn? Why not target Vegeta as king, or the Ginyus if they have anyone or something?

My best guess is because we're the chain so to speak. We have the most connections to the heaviest hitters of the PTO Army, and if we bow the leg, it will not only demotivate the rest of the Saiyan's but we can be used as a bartering chip for Vegeta, Meloka, Frieza, anyone really. We're also the most likely to reason out something, unlike Frieza or Meloka who'd likely just rage and kill. Of course this is still under the assumption they could even keep any of them from ripping their spines out their head, even with Karn in captive and or in danger. My only guess, is that they have some way sort of trap, perhaps a stand who's stationary or takes a long set up, that could completely bypass powerlevels and put any subdue any high status target. That way they could bait Karn, trap him, and then anyone who follows in a rinse and repeat, until they force the PTO to surrender or ceasefire and negotiate, or until they can take the remaining PTO as they are. Am I close or wrong with any of my guesses? Also sorry for this admittedly long post, just been dwelling on this for awhile.

>>4539204
I think you’ve entirely misunderstood her sudden appearance, but that may have been intentional on my part for the sake of Cliff Hanger.
Why would they target anyone else? From their point of view as long as Karn, slayer of Arbiters and the symbol of the PTO’s military might lives, the war will relentlessly continue.
As for the Black Dragon clan, they knew before getting captured by the Covenant that Karn was basically under the “certain suicide” list of assassination targets among those in the know. As well-renown members of the criminal underworld, they knew what the Zoldycks put out about how even Old Man Zoldyck himself couldn’t assassinate Karn.
And yes. If Karn, moreso than any other single PTO member dies, then the attack will falter and could fall apart entirely. As long as Karn persists, morale seemingly won’t break and the attack will continue.

>>4539296
>And yes. If Karn, moreso than any other single PTO member dies, then the attack will falter and could fall apart entirely.
Well the attack might collapse but the unhinged slaughter that would follow might be a bit less pleasant. Kinda hard to fight back when a space alien is flying around at the speed of light nuking your stars out of existence and the rest of the system along with it. Bad end.

>>4539296
Damn, completely off huh? Still I'm 2/3? 2/4? so far at least.

As terrible as the loss of any of Karns senpai would be there resulting Legendary Wrath Form rampage would almost be epic enough to compensate for it.

>>4539381
Freeza would be pissed off enough to say screw the plan, and simply destroy everything should such misfortune strike Karn.
>>4539387
I’ll say this, they’ve been watching you very, very carefully. Which is precisely why she’s here.
>>4539424
The Covenant know that to win, Karn has to die. Plain and simple. If they can’t kill him, they’ll lose: because he keeps getting stronger over time at a rather alarming rate.

>>4539435
>Freeza would be pissed off enough to say screw the plan, and simply destroy everything should such misfortune strike Karn.
Add Meloka to that list.
They're pretty much dead no matter what they do.

>>4539560
The difference is she needs a ship, and you know air. Freeza has no such limits. He could leave everyone behind and fly straight to attack High Charity alone.

QM UPDATE

This week’s epilogue is coming along rather well, already 3 posts in. It won’t be some nine full post long monstrosity, but I hope you enjoy this glimpse into Chilli’s mind as he takes the first major step towards his destiny

>>4540426
Oh god, he hasn't joined some weird blood cult has he?

>>4540804
Nah he joined a perfectly normal blood cult.

>>4540804
No. But he is an honorary Crimson Demon, so kinda?
>>4540814
Ha!

Also I hope everyone’s ready, because unless my phone suffers a catastrophic failure this epilogue’s going up tonight!

>>4541291
Just make a GoFundMe for a laptop at this point, you can't expect me to believe that phone-posting isn't a pain in the ass compared to using a keyboard.

>>4541342
At this point I’ve done it for so long that typing on a keyboard would be slower. Hell, at my absolute fastest I was only at 64wpm, more than a decade ago

>>4541359
All you need to do to get a really high WPM is to manually post the gorilla warfare navy seal sniper pasta. Do that 100 times and your typing will be faster than light.

>>4541359
You may start slow, but you'll adapt to keyboard superiority

>>4541395
>>4541397
At this point being the only long time, phone-posting QM is a badge of honor. Also epilogue will be out soon as I gather the pictures needed

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 144 Epilogue-

AGE 749, DREADZONE FLEET

“Hey Chilli! I got those drinks!” Caulifla, your always-upbeat little sister shouts as she comes in your room. In her arms she’s carrying four bottles, each one a delicate glass thing filled with a pale blue fluid. She sets them down on your bed behind you, then comes to your side curiously. “So, what’re you doin’ Chilli? Tryin’ out some cool new magic on sis’s old sword?”
“If I can make this spell work, she’ll get her sword back, good as new.” you tell her, feigning a level of confidence for her that you don’t entirely feel. You are Chilli: Super Saiyan, greatest sorcerer among the entire Saiyan race, son of Karn and Meloka, and younger brother to Dreadzone’s champion Chaya. And after months of grueling war against the insectoid Hive creatures, you are nearly back home on New Salda. And before you get home, you are determined to take the first step on your ultimate goal: defeating and usurping the Supreme Kai of Time so your entire family can live together. But to defeat her, you have to master the most difficult of magics: time magic. Raven, the new Guardian of New Salda has warned you several times about the dangers of trying to manipulate time. And even she, with all her years of practice and power can only stop time for so long. Something about the mantle of Guardian refusing to allow her to go against the Kai’s rules for the universe. But you have no such weakness, spending every evening for the past few months working this spell out in preparation for this night. You are going to do it: you will reverse time.

“But how are you gonna fix it?” Caulifla asks, sitting on seemingly nothing beside you. “Don’t you need the rest of it here too? Or whatever’s left of it?”
“Not for this spell.” you say, quickly taking off your chest armor as it’s makeup actually dampens your spellcasting ability a bit by absorbing a bit of your magical energy. Which actually does help a bit against any incoming spells, but you aren’t dealing with any of that today. Hopefully. “What I’m trying to do isn’t as simple as putting pieces back together. I’m going to, if this works, rewind the sword back to when it was whole.”
“Woah! You can DO that?!” she asks, eyes wide and jaw hanging open. “Magic is so cool!”
“Only when it works.” you say, Megumin giggling behind you as she remembers all your failed spells that have blown up in your face. She’s still laying on the bed, mentally exhausted from helping you figure out all the calculations you’d need for such spellcraft. And while working and reworking those numbers so many times wore her out, it only left you feeling even more fired up! It’s finally time! “Hey, Megu. Mind if I borrow your staff for this one?”

>>4541538
“Sure. But if you break it, you have to make me an even better one.” she says, you picking up the magical staff you’d made for her. With one of your magical aquamarine crystals embedded in the staff, or more accurately the wood of the staff grown around it, this staff is a powerful tool. Perhaps you should make your own when you get home? “But what about Blue Flame, won’t it get jealous if you use that instead?”

“Not if I use them both.” you reply, switching the staff to your left hand and picking up the magical blade. In one of her fights with those so-called Invaders, Caulifla’d managed to take one of their weapons for you after seeing it could be used to cast magic. And after some testing you discovered that it did, and do it so well that you gave up your dagger to Megumin so she could use it to protect herself in close quarters combat when you aren’t around. “But for this, I’mma need both.”
“Hold on, I just remembered you can’t start yet! Megumin suddenly shouts, leaping off the bed and running towards the door. “Give me just a minute, you’ll need this!”
“Need what?” you try and ask, but she’s already gone. You glance to your sister, but she just shrugs in response, as clueless as you are. Fortunately you aren’t left waiting long, as Megumin rushes back to the door. But now, there’s something behind her back. “Everything ok?”

“Yeah, I just almost forgot something!” she replies, rushing over to you with the mystery package behind her back before offering it up to you. “Here, open it!”
“Uhh, okay?” you say, setting both magical tools carefully on the bed behind you before taking the box from her. It’s rather light, you quickly opening it and finding she’s gotten you quite the surprise. “Woah. Megu, you didn’t have to do all this.”
“Of course I didn’t. But I did it anyways.” she says, striking her own pose. “For the first big step towards claiming your destiny, you gotta look the part! Now c’mon, try it on already!”

And so you pull out your very own pointed wizard hat, marveling at it a few moments before putting it on your head. As you do you feel the magic woven into the very material, no doubt something made back in her home village. And it fits perfectly, almost as it your head has been waiting it’s whole life for this hat. And that’s not even everything! Because under the hat, was your very own pitch black, Crimson Demon-made coat. You waste no time, pulling your left arm then right through the sleeves, and letting its weight settle on your shoulders. Much like the hat this garment is almost built of magic, and you feel that even if you were still wearing your armor this would more than offset it. With your new coat and hat, you now truly feel ready to do this. After doing one last thing of course.

“Thanks, I love it.” you say, grabbing your girlfriend and giving her a tight hug. Not too tight, as you’d snap her in half, but just tight enough to pull her against you and hold her close for several warm seconds before pulling back. “Where did you get this?”
“My old man made it, with help from almost everyone in the village too.” she says proudly. “The mayor felt he hadn’t thanked you enough yet, and decided that if you’re gonna be an honorary Crimson Demon and out representing us across the universe, then you gotta look the part!”
“You look so cool!” Caulifla shouts excitedly, running and flying circles around you looking at it from all sides. She then grabs both sword and staff, handing them up to you excitedly. “Here! Here!”

“Oh yeah, this feels right.” you say, a big goofy grin helplessly breaking out on your face as your magical power flows seamlessly through everything. With the staff in your left hand and magic sword in your right, you feel more powerful. The magical frequencies of this garb seem to somehow be enhancing both the staff and sword’s own magica properties, and even your own power. In fact, you feel so powerful you may not even need all those special magic-restoring elixers at all. “Now, let’s do this.”

Focusing on the magic within the staff first you unleash it, the entire tool beginning to glow with azure magical energy. Once you’ve heightened the staff’s power you bring the crystal atop it to your sword, and starting at the crossguard slide it down the length of the blade while saying the spell’s name, “Crystal Magic Weapon”. As you do the entire blade becomes engulfed in magical crystals, which will sharpen and enhance your spells. Going down on a knee you set the staff you’d made Megumin, grab your sword’s handle, and carefully bring the tip down onto Chaya’s acid-melted sword. As the two make contact you focus, casting a few spells on yourself to shut out all outside distractions. Simple sensory-deprivation spells keep your awareness limited to perhaps two feet in all directions, leaving you unable to see, smell, or hear anything outside this small bubble.

“Dark Magic: True Dark.” you say, channeling your magical energy through your sword and into Chaya’s. And you watch as the purest darkness you’ve ever seen flows from your weapon into hers, fully engulfing the broken weapon. Covered and soaked in such pure darkness, not even light is able to escape it. Which is the point. With all the studying and experimtation you had done, you discovered that light and time are inseperably linked. So to undo the effects of time on something, first you have to undo it’s connection with light. Yet as the spell finishes you feel yourself sagging a bit, the spell taking more out of you than you’d thought it would. Fortunately, you’d planned for this very thing.

“Megumin, the first one please.” you say, letting go of your blade with your left and holding it out towards where you think you’d left her. And despite your magic dampening your own feelings so you can concentrate, you do notice your left hand is shaking a little bit. Maybe you aren’t as ready for this as you’d thought? But then you feel Megumin pressing the glass into your hand, her other hand wrapping around yours for a moment. You nod, smiling a bit towards her as she let’s go and lets you drink the magical potion. Energy surges into you as you drink the freezingly cold liquid, your mind seemingly sharpening as you stare down at the sword swathed in true dark. It’s now or never! “Alright, let’s hope this works. Light Magic: Light Absorption.”

And as you begin channeling this second, more potent spell, you watch as pure light begins gathering into the crystals covering your magical blade. Your spell was in effect two fold: first with the Dark to keep any light from reaching the damaged weapon, then by taking the weapon’s light, you begin to slowly pulling it back through time. As each crystal reaches it’s limit on the energy it can absorb it shatters, releasing the magical energy it had contained. And within a few seconds, you realize it isn’t enough. Less than ten seconds after you started channeling the light spell nearly half of the magical crystals have already shattered, you gritting your teeth against the titanic mental effort of keeping both spells running while also trying to think of a solution. But luckily for you, you’re not alone. You feel something poking the back of your left hand, and see Megumin’s staff pressed against it. You try and say something to her, but as your concentration wavers the hold you have over both spells wavers as well.

“SHIT!” you seethe, returning your full attention to the dual spells you have running. With this much power concentrated into the two most-opposite magical forces in existence, the consequences of losing control of this now could be dire. Megumin releases you almost immediately, instead moving to your back after a few moments and hugging your back. To an outsider this would doubtlessly look like she’s just holding onto you, but as she connects her body to yours she’s also connecting her magic and mind both to your own.
“Let me hold this one.” she says, you feeling her bracing your hold on the light spell. “I can hold it while you recast your crystals.”
“You’re the best.” you reply, mentally and not verbally as you reach down with your left hand and grab onto her staff once more. “Let’s do this!”

“Crystal Magic Weapon.” you say again, once more dragging the staff’s crystal head down your sword’s blade. Again as you do this crystals begin sprouting and rapidly growing along your sword, yet each one almost begins glowing with sunlight absorbed from Chaya’s old weapon before you’ve even put the staff back down. Without those magical crystals, all that light energy would have traveled up Blue Flame and into you. And without a safe way to expel the massive amounts of energy built up over years, you would probably just explode. And there’s no healing pod around that could fix that mess. But as your magical energy pours out into the staff as well, your own magical energy reserves begin drying up. If you don’t get replenished soon, you’d have to stop the spell before the drain kills you. That is, if you didn’t have one more helper here. “Cauli, drink.”

“Okay!” your sister says excitedly, her happy, singsongy tone almost shattering your concentration again. So you close your eyes and double down on your focus, tuning out the world except for desperately holding on to both spells. And it works, until something touches your lips. “Here, drink!”

Wordlessly you open your mouth a crack, Caulifla pouring the fluid that can be best described as chilly fire down your throat. It burns with frigid coldness, yet you feel your magical store’s replenishing almost instantly. Not as much as a full meal and a night’s sleep, but hopefully that gave you enough magic to finish this. And of course, the moment you have the thought, your Dark spell suddenly begins rapidly consuming your magical power! Your eyes snap open, and looking down you realize why: the Dark-shrouded weapon is now more than three times the size it was moments ago! And the magical energy you’d just consumed begins rapidly disappearing, the crystals along your Blue Flame also filling and shattering far faster than before. You hadn’t accounted for this, for how much more energy you’d be dealing with as the blade became whole. Yet you can’t release the spell yet. After all, the Hive’s acid blood had been damaging her blade for months: if you quit now it’d just shatter the first time she swung it. You need more.

“Another.” you pant out, closing your eyes and trying to hold on as both spells are eating through both your magical reserves and your sword’s crystals. “Hurry!”
“Use my mana too.” Megumin says, placing both her hands upon your chest. You feel her violent, explosive energy flowing into you; her magic warming your chilled insides. “C’mon Chilli, just a little bit longer. You can do it!”

>>4541549
“Here, drink it all!” Cauli says worriedly, bringing the last two both to you at the same time as she speaks with a bit of urgency as you chug down the potions. She doesn’t do magic, but from her years now of experience helping people and healing them, she can tell you’re nearing your limit. And as the last few crystals on your blade shatter, you realize just how much you’d underestimated what you’re doing. You thought you had it all figured out, that you could harness time itself and defeat the Supreme Kai of Time. But now, as all that light energy the crystals had been absorbing surges up the blade and into you, you realize you may have made the worst mistake of your life. And just as you brace for your insides to be scalded by pure light, you feel it: Chaya’s sword’s magic returns!

“HRYAAAAAAA!!” you roar, and with every last ounce of strength left pull your blade free of hers, severing the magic. You’d designed that light-drinking spell with that specific safety built in, just in case it was necessary. And luckily you had, any longet and the light would have begun burning you from the inside out. You flop down on your side, panting in exhaustion, but it’s not quite over yet. So with what wits you can muster you reach out, and grab ahold of Chaya’s sword. The moment your bare hand touches the metal the dark magic begins dispelling, revealing the fruits of your labor. And there, as pristine as the day you all had found it in the catacombs beneath New Salda is her sword, the Pursuer.

“It’s over.” you say, falling listlessly onto your side as your brain tries to un-scramble and process what all just happened. “We...We really did it.”
“You did it.” Megumin says, her arms still wrapped around you over your shoulders. “We just helped keep you going.”
“That’s sooo cool, you really fixed it!” Caulifla shouts, you glancing over to her and seeing your sister holding the giant sword with both hands. But you also see a familiar, spectral form beginning to take shape from the darkness behind her. She clearly senses something too, either that or sees the expression on your face and turns around. Only to once more see the Pursuer itself levitating before her. Before anyone can say a word, the spirit swings it’s sword. And as exhausted as you are, both physically and mentally, all you can do is watch as she shouts out a single word. “TRIUMPH!!”

And the phantom’s sword stops, as if halted by an invisible wall. Her Stand. Then before it can react you watch as your room’s door opens, your older sister’s surprised face the last thing you see as your vision goes dark. The last thought through your mind, before unconsciousness takes you, is you hope she likes having her sword back.

Hot DAMN Chili!
You go boy, talk about a Badass, using Time Magic at such a young age!

>>4541565
If he’d used actual time magic, it would have been a bit easier. But the way he did it, Chilli actually undid time on the weapon. He’d better prepare himself, as many beings who would never have noticed him will now be looking towards him with great interest.

>>4541599
>But the way he did it, Chilli actually undid time on the weapon
INTERESTING.
>many beings who would never have noticed him will now be looking towards him with great interest
INTERESTING INDEED.
Oh hey, this means we have a shot at killing Kars now.

>>4541641
Which is a hell of a lot bigger deal than rewinding time. For the JoJo fans out there, specifically Part 4, what happens if you simply rewind time on something or someone?
Let’s just say that there are beings in the universe, and multiverse that felt what Chilli just did. To put it simply, he permanently changed the fate of that sword.

>>4541692
>Let’s just say that there are beings in the universe, and multiverse that felt what Chilli just did. To put it simply, he permanently changed the fate of that sword.
Wait, so it actually is a lot bigger than just rewinding the damage to it.
Is it in a perpetual state now?

>that whole sequence
I fucking love magic shenanigans

>>4541714
If you simply rewind time, what happened before will happen again as it did. If Chilli rewound the sword, it would simply fall apart after awhile as if it were back when it was getting soaked in Hiveling acid blood daily. If you’re familiar with Bites The Dust, then you already know how this would play out, Chilli reversing time on it and it returning to it’s end state over and over again. But with his fledgling control over both aspects of Disparity, he was able to undo the sword’s very fate.
As for perpetual state no, any new damage it sustains will stick.
>>4541726
Magic is fun, and not something I can write often with this quest. If Saiyan Conqueror Quests ever ends, and I still want to QM after that, I’ll run a quest of my homebrew magic setting.

>>4541741
The sword being cleaned of its original fate raises some interesting questions. After Chilli took that original fate from it, did it get “assigned” a new fate that fits where it would be taken and what it would do? If something like that doesn’t happen in this situation, you’ve got to wonder what qualities an object without a fate would have.

Will Chilli's magical reserves get larger with practice and age?
Are there any artifacts out there built for use in these kinds of spells?
How long would it take him to master this type of magic?
What school of magic does it even fall under?

Yes, an interesting question. Chilli just reshaped the future of your timeline. Now, to what extent a single magical sword will change it is uncertain, but it’s not like this timeline’s own fate wasn’t destroyed long ago by another such event...
>>4541757
Yes, along with his spells’ efficiency. Not that anyone would willingly part with. And someone able to manipulate those forces could be a threat to even the Supreme Kai of Time.
Mastery? Several dozen lifetimes.
>What school of magic does it even fall under?
>Implying there’s a school for this
>>4541762
Indeed. Pic extremely related

>>4541779
>Not that anyone would willingly part with
I don't think that's ever been a problem for a motivated individual.
>Mastery? Several dozen lifetimes.
If only he had some way of reversing or negating the ravages of time upon matter.
OH WAIT.
Not to mention there's plenty of other methods of extending one's life-span.

>>4541786
You’re talking about beings who are far more practiced in such magics, and full well understand how reality itself works. You may as well try going out and stealing Mechikabura’s staff while’s he’s expecting you.

>>4541802
>You may as well try going out and stealing Mechikabura’s staff while’s he’s expecting you.
Is that a challenge?

>>4541802
>while’s he’s expecting you.
So if we don't take it when he expects it he'll be surprised, and if he's surprised he won't be expecting it. Therefore if we wait just a minute or two longer than he expects it'll be easy.

A perfect heist.

GD, what would happen if Chilli used that new ‘True Dark’ spell while in Soul Release? Could he coat someone in the Dark, and potentially pull off fuckery with that?

>>4542302
Sorry for the double post, but, as an addendum... I actually think Chilli is our most impressive kid so far. I mean, he’s only eleven years old, and he’s not only better with Ki control than his old man, but he’s even using Magic on a scale that can literally defy the expectations of the SKOT.

Less than 24 hours before the next episode begins!

>>4541867
>>4541894
I’m not saying you can’t try, just letting you know what to expect
>>4542302
That form makes his own power far stronger, but the drawbacks make it more of a last resort. BECOMING magic isn’t without risks
>>4542307
He is impressive. All of Karn’s children have, or will in their own ways surpass him and/or Meloka. As for SKoT, she’s gonna have words for Chilli soon

>>4542358
I hope chilli tells her exactly where she can stick it.

>>4542358
>As for SKoT, she’s gonna have words for Chilli soon
Hopefully she has the good sense to bring us along to and make it a Parent Techer Conference.

>>4542460
Threatening her isn’t a good idea, at Chilli’s level. Despite Towa’s seal, he can’t match her yet. He’s still decades and decades away

The only reason she’d want you around is to make an example of you to Chilli

>>4542501
Karn hasn't really been able to back up most of his threats to her either. At this point it should be a family principal to tell her to go fuck herself whenever she shows up.

>>4542501
Also, appreciate that you said multiple decades, and not centuries or millienia.

Chili progressing fast boy

>>4542563
Very true. With her powerset, there isn’t really much he can do to her except kill Trunks and her other minions currently.
>>4542564
There’s a reason for that. He’s been doing magic for less than half a decade, and already achieved more than most mages ever do. Granted, he’s had some of the best help in the universe via the Crimson Demons, Raven, and Aku, but his own natural talent is exceptional. Even moreso considering how little talent Saiyans have for magic.

>>4542740
>currently
I'm glad you made note of that before I did.
We can either go the Jiren route of being strong enough to just ignore her control over time.
Or we can master the Dark and gain some measure of passive resistance against her bullshit.
That or Mechikabura will actually make good on his word treat us an equ-OH GOD MY SIDES! I COULDN'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!
At the end of the day he's still evil as fuck. And he's also still a Kai, so that alone puts him on our shitlist.
This is a Ningen only universe.

>>4542779
>OH GOD MY SIDES!
NO DON'T DROP THE MASHED POTATOES! You butterfingered buffoon now the only side we have left is the macaroni.

Personally I say we get Aku to timey wimey the hell out of us and make time powers all wonky if someone tries to use them on us.

>>4542779
If you want to to the Jiren route, you’r have to abandon everything. Family, friends, allies, all of it.
As for Mechikabura, he’ll never treat you as an equal. He sees everyone as a lesser being than himself. But that doesn’t mean he’d treat a useful ally poorly. Even if you failed a battle, he won’t just out and end you. You don’t become a longtime ruler by making enemies of your allies and relying on fear of death for motivation. He is evil, but that doesn’t make him stupid. Much like Karn himself. You don’t keep your subordinates’ loyalty by killing one who fails a mission.
>>4542786
He doesn’t mess around much with time himself. Just throwing the occasional warrior thousands of years ahead in time is the most he does there.

I still think Chilli is awesome for pulling it off, but now I'm worried about how casual he was about using "true dark" in a jury-rigged magic sequence to make a present for his sister. I'm no dark souls loremaster, but most people that fuck with the dark get fucked back, whether they're using it themselves or fighting it.

>>4542828
So who wins in a triple threat match between Karn, Guts, and Artorias?

The Dark should never casually be fucked with. But each mage has their own specialty or specialties, magics that come easily to them. What does it say about Chilli that his two best magics, Crystal and Dark, have the worst effects on even god-tier beings?
>>4542968
Is this pre or post-Dark Artorias? Because that makes a difference. Assuming pre-Dark, at his strongest, Artorias is the physically strongest of the three considering he’s of the first gods’ blood. Honestly at this level of power, Guts shouldn’t even be here. A better fight would be Karn, Artorias, and Boros all throwing down.

Thanks. We’ll see, they’re pretty flaky.

>>4543131
So, got around to reading the epilogue. First off, nice as fuck GD! It was a great read.
So I'm guessing Moro will be going for Chilli next, as the next potential greatest force/threat in our timeline?

Few questions, first is the Dark side and the Dark from Souls correlated in anyway? They effectively on the same side of the primordial energy wheel or something maybe?
And since stand's are psychic manifestations, could Guldo recognize them and affect them if he grew accustomed to one? Maybe injure and kill them?

>>4543170
Glad you enjoyed. As for the goat, we’ll have to wait and see what fate awaits him. I will say this, if and when he shows up, his arc will be a hell of a lot better here than the manga.
Possibly. They both stem from the most vibrant and violent emotions of ‘ningen’, after all.
He cannot. The best way to describe it is his mental abilities are on a different wavelength than Stands, like being on a pitch higher than you can hear or infrared/UV light

>>4543185
Alright and what of mechi? He'll surely be making the rounds to disable any chance of Chilli being a threat, no?

And then that's interesting. I'd imagine that combining these raw mortal emotions with primal or even apex would result in a very powerful, if not terribly unstable being? And with a focus on the dark, even if SKoT nuked the timeline, said individual would still exist, much like the good ol' ring dragon in her basement, yeah?

>>4541756
>you’ve got to wonder what qualities an object without a fate would have
{Looks at karn}

>>4543220
He’s watching very closely. You don’t fundamentally change fate without drawing a whole bunch of attention. Magic and the Primal forms don’t mix, as magic requires intense focus and concentration. But should one become consumed by Dark, it would a ferocious beast make indeed.
No. If the timeline’s gone it’s gone. Only those outside that reality wielding magical protections specifically against that happening(such as a Time Ring) would still exist. That Dark is still part of her reality. Should her reality somehow be destroyed, that Dark would cease as well. All that would be left is an unformed world of grey.
>>4543288
Bingo

>>4542307
>better with Ki control than his old man
Is this before or after karn went from C- to a B?

>>4543305
Chilli’s almost on his mother’s level. Turns out being really good at magic translates well to using one’s ki.

>>4543307
At this point it seems the only area where we wont get outclassed by Karn's kids is our use of the force...

GD HOW DO WE TEST FOR FORCE SENSITIVITY?

>>4543311
>the only area where we wont get outclassed by Karn's kids
Did you forget how many kids you have? Counting Broly, Karn Jr brings that total up to an even ten. And as uniquely special as each of them seem to be, you’ll be hard pressed for each one not to surpass you in some way.
As for testing, perhaps you should ask Bane. He’d know better than anyone else you could ask anytime soon.

>>4543324
>As for testing, perhaps you should ask Bane.

Puttin' it on the list. Also glad to be back after 7 months without internet. Deployment is a bitch.

>>4543307
>Turns out being really good at magic translates well to using one’s ki.

Neat. Speaking of, 'cause I know we've gotta have talked about this b4, what's the thread's vibe on having karn learn magic? We waiting for a certain school or is it too much of a time-eater?

>>4543335
From what I've seen, it just doesn't really fit with what karn is this late in the game. I'd be hard pressed to disagree with that statement.

>>4543131
>Went beyond meteoric burst
I wonder why? Meteoric burst is already hell on his body, and it actively shortens his lifespan to use it. Going beyond THAT would RAPIDLY drain it even further.
Unless he found a way to increase his lifespan somehow...or perhaps gain some kind of soft immortality to mitigate that drawback...

>>4543131
>https://pastebin.com/vPb0wswN
Oh hey, he's almost dead even with our current max.
Man, it really is a race to mastery now. Despite being a friend, he's still the leader of a rival faction.
Pretty soon it's just gonna be the Dark Matter Thieves and the PTO left in this quadrant of the Universe. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what he can do now.
I have to wonder if Frieza is gonna order us to execute him or take matters into his own hand.
Do you think he'd take to being a general under Frieza if we beat him without killing him?

So we could have possibly prevented this. I guess this is a lesson not to ignore Karn's strange danger sense.

It's always something, even when it seems it's not, it actually still is.

>Ki Sense
>Connection to the Force
>Karn's body physical nervous system combined with his natural 5 senses
>Something to do with Karn's natural aptitude to telepathy (but that may be coming from the Force already mentioned earlier)
All this together is working subconsciously/unconsciously and gives Karn an alert he needs when something bad is approaching.
Is this close to truth?

I remember Darth Bane said:
>" But, I must advise caution.” the ancient spectre replies seriously. “Trying to change the future from incomplete information can result in the very future you were trying to avoid. I’ve seen it happen far too many times.” "
But what can we do?
I don't want Karn to just walk right into the trap that Kano planed for him.

Karn's danger sense warned us about a lot of bad things.
Now it seems the threat is possibly so serious it resulted in our danger sense( in conjunction with the Force) gave us warning about the future.

I don't think ignoring this would be good.
Hopefully we don't alter the future only to get worse result instead.

When Karn does it he puts himself in danger.

Interesting, just like Goku, sparing an opponent and make them into allies and then friends.

I mean when you think about it, it's not even a bad deal.
Sure he's not the absolute ruler of his domain, but even then I'm not sure that was ever his goal.
At the end of the day I think Boros just wants somebody who can give him a challenge and a reason to grow. We can certainly provide that for him so long as he can swallow his pride.

With the second wave of lockdowns due to happen any moment in the US, car dealerships will be desperate to sell. At least, they were desperate to sell during the midpoint of the last lockdown...people weren't driving as much, so a new car was the last thing on their minds.

What you say sounds very reasonable. The challenge factor may be indeed alluring to him.

If this scenario will actually happen in Saiyan Conqueror Quest then maybe our "potential future ally" Boros could even earn a spot on a team that may possibly go to Tournament of Power (if it happens in our timeline).

Hi all, I'm kind of new so I haven't read the past threads.
Quick question, have the Halo rings, Forerunners, or Flood come up in this quest so far? If not wouldn't the Halos work by shooting out a ki-annihilation wave that insta-kills everything that needs ki to live (past the threshold where the Flood can no longer use it) in its effective range?

That's a question for GD specifically. I will say however that the rings function by emitting certain sub-atomic particles at a specific frequency that destroys the nervous system of any macroscopic organism.
I'm not sure if GD would have them function based on Ki specifically.

Hey quick question. Can an entity fuse with an alternate timeline version of itself?
Would it have any different effects in comparison to regular Fusion-Dance and Potara fusions?
I know 17 managed to do it, but there wasn't any time travel involved and one half of that was specifically made for the fusion.
I have to wonder if we can just fuse with an alternate Karn and absolutely fuck up the SKoT's ability to manipulate time around us.

>>4545532
Ha
>>4545540
I’m not saying that IS the next arc, I’m just saying it COULD be. There are a lot of possibilities.
>>4545694
Yes, potentially. You’d need a powerful mage to do so, and it could still fail spectacularly. And while their experiences would merge, it wouldn’t cause a significant boost to their power. It would instead average their power out, as well as their age. Hell 17 was in fact made solely for that purpose, much like Cell was designed to absorb 17 and 18.
Fusing with another timeline Karn would not affect the SKoT’s powers against you, and she actively works to shut such things down.

If we kill Kira "normally" she will show up at King Yemma's castle to be judged.
But if we use this ability of our Stand:

Would this also end her soul?
She would not even appear at Yemma's place? Just entirely gone?
