Chapter 871: Collision with fragmented worlds
A spatial pa.s.sage to a fragmented world appearing on Earth is abnormal. It is known that Multiverse, such a ma.s.sive structure, is like a tightly-knit human body system. It has its own set of specific operating rules, and the self-consistency of these rules ensures that no disturbance to the operation of Multiverse will occur under natural conditions.
So, any “substance” that interferes and spreads inside Multiverse will trigger Multiverse’s counterattack mechanism, treating it as a “virus” and thoroughly cleaning it up.
In other words, it is normal for small-scale Lorentz wormholes or Euclidean wormholes to appear in the universe, but these wormholes have either solidified and decayed or only exist on an atomic scale and for an extremely short period of time. They will not affect the normal operation of the universe. If a spatial pa.s.sage appears on Earth, it is unlikely to be natural unless it is man-made.
“Someone is opening spatial pa.s.sages to fragmented worlds?” Xiaya had a sudden realization. Towa did the same thing when she pulled Broly out of the fragmented world in the past.
With this thought in mind, he looked at Vegeta and said, “The spatial pa.s.sage above the martial arts tournament venue could not have opened naturally. Someone must be manipulating it. But I believe the pa.s.sage will only last for a brief moment and will soon trigger the counterattack of Multiverse’s laws, so we don’t have to worry about anyone else coming out of that pa.s.sage.”
“But the problem is, why did such a pa.s.sage appear on Earth, and who is manipulating it?” Piccolo frowned.
This is also what Xiaya was puzzled about. Normally, Universe 7 has no other s.p.a.ce-time controllers except for him. Of course, he cannot rule out that new controllers may have emerged in the past decade, but the probability is almost negligible.
So, if it was not him who did it, then who is messing around from behind the scenes?
“Is it possible that it’s someone from another universe? After all, our universe merged with the Universe 6’s planets. Could it be people from the former Universe 6?”
Xiaya shook his head, negating the a.s.sumption: “Universe 6 has no s.p.a.ce-time controllers.”
Before Xiaya became the G.o.d of Time, he had visited G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet in Universe 6, and at that time Champa had said that there were no s.p.a.ce-time controllers like him in Universe 6.
“Well, fortunately, only one spatial pa.s.sage has appeared here, and we discovered it. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened,” Krillin patted his chest in relief, but saw that everyone was silent.
He asked in fl.u.s.ter: “What? What’s wrong?
“What you said is right. We discovered a spatial pa.s.sage because we happened to be present on the scene. But what about the ones we don’t know about? Who can guarantee that spatial pa.s.sages have only appeared on Earth in the entire universe!” Xiling’s face was cold, and she arranged her red hair that was blown up by the breeze.
“No…that can’t be. Are you saying that there might be other spatial pa.s.sages that we don’t know about?” Krillin choked on his words.
“We can’t rule out that possibility!”
“Dad, why don’t we go look for them? Maybe we can find other versions of ourselves from other worlds?” Meifei’s beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement, looking very enthusiastic.
Xiaya gave her a disdainful look, thinking that she was probably the only one who still held onto such ideas at this point. He couldn’t help but laugh and scold her, “There’s no need for you to look. Even in other fragmented worlds, there won’t be anyone like you.”
“Why?” Meifei lifted her head and asked curiously.
“Because I am the only one among the various parallel universes. Without me, where would you come from? Moreover, no matter which parallel universe it is, Planet Vegeta has been destroyed. Without Myers, there won’t be you…” Xiaya stopped there. His deductions were based on the law of causality, and without himself or Myers, of course, there wouldn’t be Meifei. However, laws of s.p.a.ce-time were so bizarre that it was possible for another Meifei to appear.
Not continuing the topic, Xiaya raised his hand, tapped the golden ring on his finger, and contacted Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa.
Although Universe 7 has now been renamed as Universe 5 and has merged with the planets of Universe 6, the main body is still the original universe and is still under Chronoa’s jurisdiction. Fortunately, Chronoa and Eve were both in Time Nest at the moment, with one managing the planets of the former Universe 7 and the other taking over the planets of the former Universe 6, so their division of labor was just right.
As for the Supreme Kai of Time who used to manage Universe 6, she had given up on this s.p.a.ce-time when Universe 6 was erased by Zeno.
After a few seconds, Xiaya heard Supreme Kai of Time’s voice, “Hey, Xiaya, is there something you need from me?”
“……”
Xiaya explained the situation on Earth and asked Chronoa to investigate the s.p.a.ce-time of Earth. Chronoa was also curious about the strange occurrences on Earth since abnormal spatial pa.s.sages shouldn’t appear there for no reason.
“Xiaya, wait a minute. I’ll come to Earth right away.”
After ending the communication with Chronoa, Xiaya looked at Krillin and the others who were worried and rea.s.sured them, “Don’t worry, Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa will come to Earth soon and investigate the situation.”
They silently nodded their heads, feeling doubtful about the so-called Supreme Kai of Time. It was the first time they had heard of this t.i.tle, and they were surprised to learn that there was a Supreme Kai who governed the scope of time and s.p.a.ce in this world. The realm of the G.o.ds was truly beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals like them.
After about ten minutes, a brilliant light flashed in the sky, and two figures stepped out of the void.
The two figures, one tall and one short, were none other than the Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa and the Trainee Supreme Kai of Time Eve.
Chronoa had the same pet.i.te appearance as always, while Eve had changed a lot. Her formerly pet.i.te body had grown, and she now has a tall and well-proportioned figure. Her silver-gray hair hung down in front of her chest. Apart from her somewhat young-looking features, she already had some of Towa’s elegance.
When Xiaya saw Eve, he was slightly surprised. The tall girl in front of him was becoming more and more like Towa.
“Chronoa, check the s.p.a.ce-time of Universe 5 and see if there is a problem,” Xiaya said.
“Mm.” Chronoa nodded softly and took out the purplish red Time Scroll and flipped through it, then said, “Take me to the place where the spatial pa.s.sage was discovered before. I need to check it out.”
Xiaya nodded immediately and took Chronoa and Eve to the small island where the martial arts tournament was held.
“So they are the Supreme Kais of Time!”
“They look a lot like Supreme Kai!”
Watching Xiaya, Chronoa and Eve’s distant figures, the faces of those who had never seen Chronoa before showed a hint of surprise, and they also followed along.
On the small island, due to the sudden appearance of dark black clouds, the tournament had to be stopped midway. Everyone was arranged to a safe place, and all the equipment and decorations in the entire venue were scattered and lying on the ground in disarray, leaving behind a scene of chaos after the storm. This was the first time that the World Martial Arts Tournament had to temporarily suspend a match after holding so many of them.
At this point, the black clouds in the void had gradually dissipated, and the situation had weakened considerably except for the central location, where lightning and thunder continued to flash.
Frowning slightly, Chronoa turned her little face towards the sky, constantly flipping through the Time Scroll in her hand, and gradually showed a serious expression.
“Do you know what’s going on?” Xiaya asked.
Chronoa shook her head, pointing to the spatial pa.s.sage that was gradually shrinking. “It’s strange. That pa.s.sage is gradually shrinking under the influence of Multiverse’s laws, but the speed is too slow, as if…the two laws are resisting each other.”
“What does that mean?” Xiaya asked Chronoa.
At this time, Eve next to him covered her mouth and chuckled before explaining, “When I opened the spatial pa.s.sage before to bring Broly over, the spatial pa.s.sage only lasted a few seconds before being wiped out by the Multiverse’ laws. But look at this one in front of us, it’s been around for a long time, hasn’t it?”
“About ten minutes.”
“That’s right, the suppression laws of the Multiverse are constantly strengthening, but the closure speed of that pa.s.sage is still very slow.” A light flashed in Eve’s purple eyes as she found this phenomenon curious.
“What does this mean?”
“That fragmented world is moving closer to Multiverse, or rather, it is penetrating through the universe membrane and colliding with Universe 5!” Chronoa concluded her survey and calmly stated.
“The fragmented world is colliding with Universe 5!!”
Everyone was shocked. This is not a joke. Based on the conversation between VEGETA and Nappa earlier, they could roughly determine that their small world was at least as large as the North Area. If such a huge world were to collide, although it wouldn’t cause serious harm to Universe 5, the large Milky Way System that encompa.s.sed the four areas, North, South, East and West Area would definitely be thrown into chaos.
As for why the fragmented world would collide with the Milky Way System instead of other galaxies in the outer regions of Universe 5, there was also a reason for this. In s.p.a.ce-time rules, the spatial distance was meaningless. Since the spatial pa.s.sage has appeared on Earth, it indicates that this was the connection point and weak point between two dimensions, so the collision point must be here.
“What can we do? If that world really collides, Milky Way System is doomed.” Krillin’s face turned pale and his scalp began to tingle.
The others also had unpleasant expressions. The impact of this event was too significant. If it isn’t handled properly, it could potentially cause a major disaster.
“We mustn’t let this happen. Planet Hongshan is also in Milky Way System….” Xiling and the others murmured to themselves, not daring to be careless.
At this time, Chronoa’s expression turned grim. “You should be worried about more than just this. When I checked earlier, I found something even more terrible……..Besides this fragmented world, there are several hundred small worlds in Multiverse that are also colliding with Universe 5.”
“Although many of them are small fragmented worlds, there are also a few which are quite enormous. The largest one is as big as the Milky Way System, and they will fall in different parts of Universe 5, and the impact they will create is sufficient to destroy a large area of starfields.”
