Chapter 920: Reversal and going back
Facing the terrifying energy unleashed by the Original King before his disappearance, Xiaya had no other choice. No matter what methods he used, forcefully opposing that energy was unwise. Under such a desperate situation, Xiaya could only take a gamble.
Since a direct clash of power and escaping through s.p.a.ce was no longer possible, the only option left was to seek a lifeline from the perspective of the timeline.
Therefore, in the end, Xiaya made a desperate move and activated the technique called “Reversal.”
“Reversal” is a high-level application of the laws of time and s.p.a.ce, directly involving the law of causality. It is a more complex technique than the ephemeral technique “Extinction” and requires extremely powerful control. Fortunately, Xiaya is at the fifth level of the Divine Realm in s.p.a.ce-time, or else his body would have started crumbling before even using it.
Because once “Reversal” is used, it means traversing the timeline. It is real “time travel,” and only the G.o.d of Time who has merged the past, future and present, can perform it.
The remarkable aspect of both “Extinction” and “Reversal” is that they can avoid the creation of parallel timelines.
“Extinction” erases an individual and replaces them in the timeline with a clone embedded in the fabric of time. However, “Reversal” is different. It is extremely domineering as it directly changes the past from its very root, reversing causality. Once Xiaya returns to the past, every action he takes will forcibly change the future.
For example, let’s say Xiaya wants to kill Beerus. Using “reversal,” he travels back to a time when Beerus was extremely weak and kills him, then upon returning to the original era, everything related to Beerus would undergo forceful changes in the new era and everyone would believe that Beerus had died a long time ago.
That is the terrifying aspect of “Reversal”—directly altering history, making the world acknowledge a new outcome without any paradoxes arising.
The laws of time and s.p.a.ce themselves will erase these paradoxes, essentially reshaping the world.
Of course, such a powerful technique cannot be used by just anyone. Only a G.o.d of Time at the fifth level of the Divine Realm has the qualifications to learn a little about it, and the ones who have truly mastered this technique are only Time King and the Great Heaven Official. As for Xiaya, he obtained the “Extinction” ability from the Time King and, from that, comprehended “Reversal.” Currently, he has just started learning it and has not yet used it in real.
“Reversal” is a technique that violates “common sense” and should not exist in the world. When using it, one must contend against the overwhelming forces of the entire era, making it extremely dangerous. If Xiaya wasn’t forced into a corner, he wouldn’t risk using it, especially when Meifei was by his side, as the chances of success would be even smaller.
Crash~ Like a tidal wave flowing backward, the endless energy roiled and spread throughout the entire starfield, before finally being suppressed by Dragon G.o.d Zalama. Looking at the vast expanse of the starry sea, there were no longer any traces of Xiaya and Meifei. They had long disappeared.
“…”
“They both disappeared…” Majin Buu whispered.
“Waaah, Xiaya-sama and Meifei are dead!” Kusu wailed, her expression filled with profound sadness.
“Are they really dead?”
Beerus appeared absent-minded, gazing blankly into s.p.a.ce.
Vados’ face revealed a hint of sadness, her silver hair fluttering as she comforted, , “They should be fine. Look, Kusu hasn’t fallen into slumber yet. They might have been swept into a spatial crack.”
“Yes, that must be it!” Champa clapped his hands, agreeing with Vados.
Whis lifted his head and bowed deeply to the silhouette of Dragon G.o.d Zalama in the void. ” Zalama-sama, please find the whereabouts of Xiaya and Meifei and bring them back.”
Indeed, the great Dragon G.o.d Zalama was right here, possessing a power even more immense than the Super Dragon b.a.l.l.s.
Roar!
Zalama closed his eyes and contemplated. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a brilliant light s.h.i.+mmered in his deep gaze.
Golden light spread out, and the miracle power was immediately unleashed, conducting a search through all of time and s.p.a.ce.
“They are fine, but I don’t know their exact whereabouts. Perhaps they have gone far beyond the range of s.p.a.ce-time and arrived in another point of true time. To find them, we need the a.s.sistance of Time Realm,” Pausing for a moment, Dragon G.o.d Zalama turned to Majin Buu: “Great Demon G.o.d, after you go back, please inform the Time King about this matter.”
“Oh, oh, got it!” Majin Buu a.s.sured, patting his chest.
“Very well, let’s leave it at that for now!”
Dragon G.o.d Zalama’s voice became solemn, and the gigantic dragon silhouette above in the starry sky gradually faded, disappearing completely.
Seeing Dragon G.o.d Zalama leave, and the former Universe 6’s Milky Way System reappear, Whis and Vados inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. From the current situation, although Xiaya and Meifei had not been found, it at least indicates that they were not in any mortal danger.
The upheaval this time came too suddenly. Not only was the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm of Universe 5 destroyed, but the mortal world also suffered a devastating blow. Even the Great Priest’s fate remains unknown.
“Hmm, then I should also go back and inform Tang Xing and Mavis… I hope they won’t blame me for not protecting Xiaya,” Majin Buu pondered in his heart. He bid farewell to the others and headed straight for the Time Realm.
“I hope the Great Priest is fine.”
After sending Kusu back to Planet Hongshan to await further news, Whis returned with Beerus and others to the place where G.o.d of Destruction’s realm used to exist. At this moment, chaos had engulfed the area, with chaotic energy swirling all around.
Whis held the two broken pieces of the scepter in his hand as he used his divine power to repair it while saying, “We angels are emissaries dispatched from the Angel Realm. Throughout the entire era, we can only be sealed, and not destroyed. Even if the Great Priest is killed, he will only return to Zeno-sama’s Palace and enter slumber. He will soon awaken again.”
“There is such a good thing?” Champa couldn’t help but feel envious. Once a G.o.d of Destruction dies, they are truly gone.
“Don’t dwell on it too much, Champa. Come on, let’s quickly restore the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm together!” Vados’s lips curled slightly, and she cast a sidelong glance at Champa, exuding an indescribable sense of pride.
“Oh!”
Why do Angels receive such preferential treatment? Having a powerful backing makes all the difference. Whis and the others have the Great Priest as their support, and behind the Great Priest stands the entire Angel Realm. Unless the Angel Realm is destroyed or the Angels themselves get corrupted, they won’t be in any danger as long as they have the protection of the Angel Realm.
Oh well, there’s no point thinking about it. It’s all fate! Champa clicked his tongue and glanced at Vados and Whis, then started diligently repairing the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm while sweating profusely.
Whis and Vados used their divine power to shape divine planets, and Beerus and Champa pushed them into their proper positions…
While they were fully focused on repairing the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm, a golden light descended.
Zeno arrived in the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm in his small palace.
“Zeno-sama!”
“Hmm~ I sensed that Great Priest suddenly fell into slumber. Has something happened? Oh, why is it so empty here? Did you two fight and destroy the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm? That’s not good~”
“…”
Beerus was drenched in sweat. He really wanted to say that they weren’t responsible for the destruction of the G.o.d of Destruction’s realm. They were victims too.
…
Earth.
After Goku returned to Earth with Bulla and Angeline, he briefly explained the situation to Bulma and hurriedly headed to Vegeta’s home in West City.
“What?! Kakarrot… Are you saying the entire G.o.d of Destruction’s realm was destroyed?!” After hearing Goku’s account, Vegeta, who was sunbathing in the yard, immediately jumped up from his lounge chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Goku nodded bitterly. “G.o.d of Destruction’s realm has indeed been destroyed.If you don’t believe me, try sensing it. Tremendously powerful energy is continuously erupting out in the universe.”
They couldn’t sense the aura of the G.o.ds, but the terrifying energy released from the destruction of countless planets was sensed by Goku and Vegeta.
“The enemy is incredibly strong. Great Demon General who appeared at first proved to be even more powerful than the Great Priest. If it weren’t for Xiaya and Majin…….Great Demon G.o.d arriving in time, even Great Priest would have been in danger.”
“And the one who destroyed the G.o.d of Destruction Realm is even more powerful, he seems to be called the Original King. Anyway, he is incredibly terrifying…”
Goku sighed with frustration. Whether it was the Great Demon General or the Original King, they were not opponents he could defeat with just hot-bloodedness.
“How could this be!” Vegeta’s face turned extremely grim. He understood Goku’s character very well. Unless the disparity was insurmountable, Goku would never admit defeat. Even Goku, who is unwilling to admit being inferior, had to acknowledge the opponent’s strength. Then, the opponent must be incredibly formidable!
Great Demon General? Original King?
These names sound quite similar to the Great Priest and Zeno. Such extraordinary individuals were really not someone they can deal with.
A heavy silence fell upon them. Several minutes pa.s.sed, and suddenly, the universe ceased to be filled with the devastating energy storms. Goku suddenly made a decision.
“No matter the outcome, I’m going to go and see for myself.”
“I’ll go with you too.”
Vegeta stated firmly. If Great Priest and the others have truly failed, then even if they stay on Earth, they will still eventually be in danger. So, it’s better to accompany Goku and check it out.
