Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After Karn informed Aku of the defeated Abyss dragon, the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness traveled through the Abyss directly to New Salda where Karn led the Abyssal being down into the former darkness. While exploring the caverns, looking for the bottom-most chamber they stumbled upon a sealed door, Karn opening it to find a sword radiating with ancient magic even older than Aku himself. So Karn took the weapon, then after finding the Abyssal dragon retrieved his Wolf Knight sword as well. Aku then consumed the beast, taking its power into himself then sparring Karn and checking over Chaya before departing. The next morning Chaya agreed to train with Karn, all to hunt for the 'Undefeated' former champion of Dreadzone. Then afterwards Karn reaches out to Chilli only to discover his son is under attack. Broly joins his father, and the two use Karn's Instant Transmission to aid him on his planet far, far away. And as we rejoin Karn, you've just given Chilli the sword even Aku feared.

“Woah. This thing....This is something else.” Chilli says, seemingly forgetting you all are still on a battlefield with several giant white dragons rapidly approaching his home with the Crimson Demon clan. The pale sword glows in his hand, your son putting away his staff and taking up the ancient blade in both hands. “This weapon is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's got a hint of divine magic in it, like that bastard Nabu's helmet did, but its real power is something older, stronger.”
“Well, take it for a spin.” Broly says, his left side and the giant stone scale shield he bears pointed towards the dragons. “Why not see what it can do?”
“I'm not sure.” he replies, eyes still glued to the luminous blade. “There's something....Off, with this weapon. I don't know what, but there's a power within it I've never felt before.”

Well? What do you say?
>Encourage Chilli to go for it and use the sword, and see what it can really do

>Let him know that you and Broly can hold it down, and handle those dragons until he stores the sword away and comes back

“If your instincts are warning you against using this right now, then don't do it.” you say to him, giving him a small nod. “No matter what else happens, always trust and follow your instincts. You have them for a reason, they'll keep you alive if you listen to them.”
“I understand.” he replies, returning the nod then looking back to the weapon. He stares at it for another few seconds, then slightly shakes his head with a barely audible murmur, “Not yet.”

“GRRRROOOOOAAAAAAR!!” the lead dragon roars, closing the distance quickly.
“Here they come.” Broly shouts, grabbing his shield with both hands and bracing himself behind it. “Get ready!”
“Please stand back.” Chilli says, floating out between Broly and the approaching dragons. “I've got this.”

You and Broly exchange a look, but if he thinks he can handle them all on his own you're not going to stop him. Carefully Chilli passes off the sword to Broly, who gingerly holds the wide weapon as your firstborn son draws his staff once more. The crystalline scythe blade quickly reforms itself from the staff's head, your son staring down the approaching half dozen giant beasts.

“Dark Magic: Black Hole!” he shouts, thrusting his staff forward and creating a small point of infinite darkness in the middle of their formation. This catches all of the beasts by surprise, the intense gravity drawing them all towards the center. The two smaller ones at the back are unable to resist the tiny orb's pull, you watching in surprise as the gravity well draws the colossal beasts in. Their bodies can't withstand the pressure, which crushes and twists them down as their entire mass is somehow absorbed down into that small point. Before their bodies are even gone their ki both simultaneously vanish, your son killing them effortlessly. Then the lead, largest dragon's eyes flash, and with a bellowing roar Chilli's attack just ends. “Tch. Got two of you this time.”

“Wait, you didn't stop it?” you ask his back, Chilli shaking his head as he draws his staff back, preparing another spell. “I didn't know they could stop magic.”
“Means you an' I have a bigger advantage against them.” Broly says, clearly still wanting to help despite his brother's words.
“True. But this is his world.” you say, watching as Chilli once more goes on the attack.
“Dark Magic: Dark Slash!” he shouts, swinging his staff and firing off a Death Slash of pitch-black magical energy. Again the lead dragon roars, eyes flashing and again his magic just vanishes. If his magic keeps getting negated, he'll have to go on the offensive with his ki and might. But seeing the smirk on his face, you doubt he'll be going down that path.

“Crystal Magic: Crystal Spear!” he shouts, forming a lance of sharp crystal around his staff. Then he throws it forward, the lance of magical gemstone breaking free from his staff and flying directly towards the largest of the dragons. Once more its eyes flash as it roars, but this time Chilli's attack doesn't vanish. The slightly-luminous crystals lose their luster, but the lance itself keeps going. The dragon isn't able to dodge, the lance firing true and slamming into the beast's chest. His spear pierces through the dragon's scaled hide easily, its ki vanishing after a second. “Heh, counter THAT.”
“Not bad.” you hear Broly say, Chilli drawing his staff back and once more thrusting his staff forward.

“Crystal Magic: Chains of Judgment!” he shouts, and you see what he learned from his battle against the so-called god Nabu. Chains similar to those the divine being used spring out from the lance embedded in the dead, falling dragon, lunging out and wrapping themselves around the other three. His magic binds the other three simultaneously, halting their flying and sending all four down towards the ground. But this only lasts for a second, as with separate roars the three dragons' eyes flash and what looks like a second layer of crystal envelops the chains. “Ice magic? That can't break through my-”

But as he says this, suddenly you see what they'd been aiming for, all three of their magic meeting at the fourth's corpse and suddenly another chain lashes out at your son. Before he can react the icy chain binds him, dragging him down with them towards the ground.

“Chilli!” Broly exclaims, clearly shocked by the sudden turn of events. But your eyes are focused on your son, who only seems mildly annoyed at this development.

But what now?
>Fly down and use your own weapon, cut down the largest of the living dragons

As Chilli drops, bound to he trio of dragons, you see Broly preparing to fly down after them. So before he can, you reach out, placing your hand on his shoulder. He turns back, you shaking your head once.

“Aren't we here to help?” he asks as you turn your gaze back to Chilli. Who, very clearly, does not need your help.
“Crystal Magic: Crystallize.” he says, you and Broly both watching as the crystals from his chain begin spreading across the dragons' bodies. You remember how quickly he'd incapacitated Chaya with the same magic, at least for a time, but today you can see the full effects of his training. His crystallization of his sister seemed quick back then, but compared to how fast they completely entomb the bodies of these three dragons, you would think he had been fighting her in slow motion. They are completely encased in under a second, unable to move or fight back as their bodies keep dropping.

Once they're incapacitated he focuses on freeing himself, drawing his staff back, then with a contemptuous flick of his wrist severs the frozen crystal chain binding him. The four beasts drop, crystal-encased bodies crashing down to the ground right outside his home. You look to them, and then see something you hadn't noticed yet. Over the mountain, on the opposite side of the Crimson Demon Village, you see a bolt of lightning striking down right next to what appears to be a fire tornado, the obviously-magical attacks tearing through a horde of some sort of small, humanoid monsters. You see a dozen figures wearing the familiar robes of the Crimson Demon Clan posted on some sort of observatory, firing their heavy-duty magic indiscriminately into the approaching horde.

“HAA!” Chilli then shouts, flaring his aura golden for a moment and using the strength of a Super Saiyan to shatter the icy chain binding him. But the moment Chilli's free he reverts back to his base form, all with time to catch his pointed hat that'd been blasted off his head by transforming. “That should be the last of them.”
“Last?” you ask, flying down to his side and looking out towards the horde of monsters. “You're not going to help?”
“That's Megumin's job.” he replies, turning and looking towards the top of his home. You look over as well, and see her standing atop the building's ceiling, looking up at the three of you. Chilli gives her the thumbs up, his wife returning the gesture before turning her gaze towards the battle raging down below. With a flick of her cape, she stands up tall, pointing her staff towards the monsters. You know exactly what this means and brace yourself.

“MY NAME IS MEGUMIN!” she declares, shouting down to both her clansmen and the enemy they're firing upon. “Greatest Archwizard of the Crimson Demon Clan, and she who seeks to master Explosion magic! My time of awakening cometh! In the name of the Crimson Demons, let the collapse of thine origin manifest. Burst forth, EXPLOOOOOSION!!”

KABOOM

Her magic is released in a fiery blast, the titanic explosion consuming untold thousands of the monsters instantly. Her fireball of unparalleled destruction dwarfs the attacks of her fellow Crimson Demons, who each cry out as the shock wave washes over them. A second or two later it hits the three of you, you feeling it all the way down in your bones. Once her blast ends, you look back over to Chilli's wife to see she's leaning against their home for support, watching the so-called Demon King's forces break and flee. They no longer keep pressing forward, instead fully fleeing from the newly-made crater.

“Looks like both of you have been getting stronger.” you say, the three of you landing atop the roof by Chilli's wife. Who looks up at you and Broly with a hint of worry in her eyes as she's struggling to catch her breath from the exertion.
“Easy, everything's fine.” he says, holding up the sword. “Dad found this, and wanted Chilli to take a look at it.”
“Ooooh, I see.” she replies to him, then turns back to her husband. “How-How was that?”
“It was the best this month, one hundred thirty points.” he says to her, you having no idea what they're talking about but it does make her smile. He then gives her a quick kiss, before turning back to Broly. “This thing is rather unique, I've never see anything li-”

But as Chilli reaches for the weapon, Broly draws his hand back. Your magical son stops moving, eyes narrowing with concern as he looks up at Broly. Who look almost offended Chilli'd tried to take the weapon. But that only lasts for a moment, your son seemingly snapping out of it and looking down at the weapon in confusion.

You see your son looking between the sword and his brother, the confusion clear on his face. He no doubt wanted to hand it over, but something came over him and stopped him. Was this the odd power Chilli noticed? You decide to not take any chances and before either of the boys can react you move. Blitzing forward you dash to Broly's right side, snatching the ancient weapon by the crossguard. He sees you, eyes widening as he tries to pull it back away, but you're too quick and jerk the weapon from his hands. As you do, for a moment you see genuine rage on his face, emerald aura blazing but then he stops, looking even more confused.

"Wh-huh? What was that?" he asks, looking from his hands to the sword, to you, dumbfounded. "Why...?"
"That weapon's dangerous." Chilli says, walking over with a concerned look in his eyes. "I knew I could sense something malicious coming from it.”
“Which is why I want you looking over this thing.” you say, holding the weapon out towards Chilli. From the corner of your eye you see Broly reach out towards the sword, stopping himself short and grabbing his right wrist with his left hand. Chilli hesitates, not eager to take up the sword again. “You and Raven are the only two I could trust this to, but I think you'll be able to really understand it better. Especially with all your crystal magic you use.”

“Very well.” he says after a moment's thought, steeling his resolve and reaching out to grasp the sword. He hesitates at about the spot Broly'd pulled back from him, but you don't move or even react. So after a second's silence reaches out the rest of the way, taking up the blade. Once more it becomes more luminous in his hand, shining with that same pale light. But after a moment the light begins to fade, you releasing the breath you hadn't known you were holding in. “It's strong. But I'll get to this later, right now there are several weeks worth of food for the villagers down there, along with a small fortune in different dragon parts so I should get to work. Will you two be staying long, or are you headed out already?”

"We can hang around for a bit and help you with your dragons." you say to him. "Unless you don't want help, then we can just go back."
"No no, I'd appreciate it." he says with a genuine smile before hefting the sword. "Just a moment, let me put this away. I'll meet you both by them."
"We'll see you there." you tell him, turning to Broly who's eyes haven't left the sword. He stares at it until Chilli heads down the stairs, then once eye contact with the weapon is broken he blinks, shaking his head. “You okay?”
“Y-Yeah, I'm fine.” he says, clearly forcing himself to turn fully away from the open doorway. “Let's go.”

Without another word he leaps down, jumping from the roof. You follow his energy as he drops with your ki sense, then suddenly realize something odd. There's another tiny ki signature by where he lands. Curious, you leap down as well, landing beside your son only to find him looking at a woman embedded in the crystal wall of Chilli's home.

“What the hell?” you mutter, confused. The person isn't wearing the typical clothes of the Crimson Demons, in fact her clothes are entirely unfamiliar. Who is she, and why has your son trapped someone within the walls of his home? But, and perhaps even more alarming, how are they still alive without being able to breathe? You continue to stare, the curiosity before you not presenting any answers.
“Oh, you found her.” Chilli suddenly says from behind you, turning and seeing him holding what seem to be a pair of bone knives. “Just leave her be.”

“Who is she?” Broly asks, not turning away.
“The avatar of a goddess, out for vengeance.” Chili replies. “I killed her sister goddess, so now she kept sending these goons after me. But since I trapped her essence within my home, she hasn't been able to escape or send anything else after me.”
“Your crystals trapped a goddess? Well done.” you say, reaching up and ruffling his hair for a moment. “We'll follow your lead.”

“Let's go.” he says, kicking off the ground. You and Broly follow behind, leaving emerald trails as the two of you fly. Chilli doesn't bother transforming, taking his time flying directly to the bodies. He lands beside the four dragons, walking directly over to the largest. You approach another one, Broly going to another one trapped within his brother's crystals. Chilli sets the bone knives down, then as he turns you swing your right arm down in a vicious chop directly behind the jaw and through the neck of the one at your feet. “Woah, hold on dad. There's a way to do this, and save as much of the meat, scales, and valuable pieces as possible. First, swords out.”

Chilli throws his right arm wide, pale Energy Blade extending out and around his hand. You and Broly follow suit, drawing your own energies out into identical cutting edges.

You follow your son's directions, making the same cuts he does against the dragon corpses. But it's clear he's become an expert at this, saving everything from the scales and bones to the teeth, and even its organs. You don't do as well as him, nicking several of the organs with your blade as you remove them. But he says its fine, stopping your before you go for the heart.

“Hold on. This one has to come out intact.” he says, shrinking his blade down to the only size of his own hand. He carefully reaches in, cutting the organ free then covering his left hand in his magical crystals, pulling it free. “These are the most valuable organs in a dragon, and they're the source of their power.”
“Like this?” Broly asks, you both turning and seeing him holding a freed heart as well. For a single second you see Chilli panic, worried his brother is touching it directly. But then you both notice he's shielding himself with your Energy Body technique, the cold organ not touching him directly. But as the three of you watch, ice begins forming on his energy. “Oh, so that's why you told me not to touch its organs.”

“Their hearts are incredibly cold, and will freeze to your hand on contact.” Chilli answers, taking the heart from Broly as well before setting both into the crystal chest separate from the others he'd created just for the different internal organs. “Which is why they're such a rare commodity. In a sealed room, they work essentially the same way as Silver's freezer back on the ship.”
“Huh. That's interesting.” you say, Chilli leaving you to take the flesh off the bones. A task that's easy enough, and within the hour the three of you have cut down the massive beasts down to thirty chests of raw meat, twelve boxes full of various organs, and three large piles of completely stripped dragon bones. The claws, horns, teeth and talons in one, skulls in another, and the rest of the bones in a third. “Phew. That was more work than I'm used to.”

“Dragons are incredibly valuable to the people of this world, so whenever I kill one I make sure to take everything I can.” your son replies proudly. “With the four of them here, the village will be eating good for several months to come.”
“Months? Are you sure?” Broly asks, not remembering how little they eat in comparison.
“The Crimson Demons don't eat like we do.” Chilli replies with a laugh, Broly seemingly finally over that odd compulsion that sword had placed on him. “Oh, and before I forget. Here, take these.”

Chilli turns to the piles and to your surprise draws out a pair of bone weapons, each looking rather different from the other. In his right he holds a rather sizable sword, and from what you now know of dragon anatomy, it was carved from the spear-like tailbone of a rather big one. The other is a rather unassuming knife, made of bone with a presumably dragon leather-wrapped handle.

“These are for you two, for helping me out today.” he says, holding the two weapons. “Haven't made a scabbard for either yet, but they're yours if you want them.”

Well?

"Take first pick Broly. Whichever you want is yours." you say, your green-haired son looking back from the weapons to you, then back. He walks up to Chilli, looking them both over. He stops as he looks over the sword, raising his eyes to meet Chilli's.
“Doesn't this one seem....Familiar to you?” Broly asks him, a note of unease in his voice. “Doesn't it feel like like that other one?”
“The one dad found?” Chilli asks, taking a second look at the sword he'd carved. They both look intensely at the sword for a moment, you looking on curiously. “....Huh. Now that you mention it....”

“Do you want to keep it, and look them both over?” Broly asks, Chilli shaking his head.
“No no, I have a whole pile of them here.” he replies, gesturing over to the tailbones. “I'd planned on making one weapon for everyone and bringing them all over when they were done. But this saved me a few hours, so you two can have first dibs.”
“Very well. I'll take this one then.” Broly says, picking up the sword. As he does, you notice something immediately. Taking the offered weapon, Broly adjusts it in his grip for a second, the weapon shaking and the oddest thing happens. Little motes of something start raining down from the weapon, barely noticeable against his Energy Body but you still see them.

“Hey, Broly. Try something for me.” you say, both boys turning towards you. Drawing your own sword off of your back, you channel a bit of ki into the blade. As you do, the ancient sword begins emitting a faint azure glow, both boys looking at it in surprise. “Try and channel a bit of ki into it. I think something's going to happen.”
“Not towards all this, aim over there.” Chilli says, aiming his brother away from the dragon parts and instead towards a nearby tree. Broly does, stepping forward and pointing the weapon towards it. Then, as you feel his ki enter the dragon bone, something unexpected happens. The weapon begins growing its own frost, the entire dragon tail bone covered completely by ice in a second. Without saying a word he suddenly dashes forward, thrusting the sword point-first down into the ground. And as he does, he suddenly disappears. A storm of icy wind explodes up from the point of contact, his body disappearing inside the freezing tornado. Your jaw drops open a bit, shocked by that display of power.

“Woah.” you say, the effect lasting for several seconds before it fades away. Revealing Broly's perfectly fine, not a hint of ice on him. But the tree and the ground around him are both frozen completely solid, the weapon in his hand is still coated as well. Frost drops off of it as he walks back, Broly looking over it as he heads over. “I take it you're happy with that one?”

“I like it.” he says, then to your surprise thrusts the weapon down into his shield! You and Chilli both take a step forward, but then he holds his left out and reveals that the space between the arm supports and his forearm holds the sword almost perfectly. “I'll take this one.”

“Then I'll take the other one.” you say, Chilli flipping the knife in his hand to hold it by the blade, and offer the weapon to you handle-first. You nod, taking the weapon in your hand. It is a little small for your hand, you only getting three of your Berserker fingers on the handle. But you don't see the same effect the sword had before, no hints of it possessing any sort of special power. You take a deep breath, and sighing out revert back to your base form. Once shrunk down, the weapon's handle actually fitting in your hand. Looking up you see them both looking expectantly towards you, no doubt waiting for you to start infusing it with your own ki and to show what it can do.

Well? Which power does this dragon bone weapon have? That's right, player's choice on this one. But choose wisely, as this can only be chosen once:
>Ice Blade(extra length icy blade)
>Ice Slash(projectile)
>Cold Wave(short range cone-shaped aoe)
>Ice Spear(thrusting projectile)
>Slight momentary azure glow from the blade(no other obvious effect)
No write ins for this vote

>>5372140
>>Slight momentary azure glow from the blade(no other obvious effect)
I feel like we really don't need any of the other ones, and honestly if Chilli wasn't already making them for everyone I'd vote for Karn not to take one at all.

>>5372140
>>Slight momentary azure glow from the blade(no other obvious effect)
mystery box!

>>5372140
>Slight momentary azure glow from the blade(no other obvious effect)

We have enough tools in the toolbox. Let's see what the mystery box has for us, when the time is right.

>>5372140
>Ice Blade(extra length icy blade)
I think this would pair nicely with our two weapon style.

>>5372143
>>5372144
>Mystery Box
But it's actually not? The answer is here in-thread if you look for it.

>>5372151

>>5372151
Wait... Is that option a fucking anti-magic ability?

>>5372151
Wait...>>5372155
Not Anti Magic...ANTI DARK?!

>>5372158
What? The dragons didn't have any anti-dark, and he specified in-thread. The only ability with the slight momentary glow in this thread is the anti-magic, I think.

40/100. Not nearly enough, looks like its effect will remain a mystery to you. Writing.

truely an ultimate power, making people think it has a hidden, devastating magical effect, only to get punched in the face by Karn

>>5372230
I guess this just means we'll have to keep trying to figure it out on our own time.
If nothing else, it's a nice knife and a great gift from our son.

"Well, let's see what it can do." you say, taking a couple steps towards the frozen tree. Holding the knife out, you begin channeling your ki into the weapon. As you do, the blade glows with azure power, almost identical to your Wolf Knight sword except it it several shades darker. But the moment you stop channeling ki into the weapon, the glow simply vanishes as if it never were.
“What?” you hear Broly ask, clearly confused.
“Did it break?” Chilli asks, no doubt worried your energy was too much for the weapon. So you turn around and repeat what you'd done, once more channeling your ki into the dagger. And once again, the moment you stop the light quickly fades away to nothing.

“...Huh. That's....something?” Chilli says, clearly confused as well. “Why does it...?”
“Try hitting the tree?” Broly offers, you nodding in acknowledgment. Once more you turn back to the tree, channeling your ki into the weapon until it glows, then thrust it at the frozen tree. The azure aura'd bone weapon pierces easily through the ice and bark both, sinking up to your hand inside it. Carefully you draw the weapon out, stopping the flow of energy into the blade and ending the light. But nothing else happens. “Oh. Well, that's a bit underwhelming.”

“Guess every magic item isn't made equally.” you say, Chilli walking up to you. He's looking at the dagger rather intently, you offering it to him. But he doesn't take it back. “What is it? Did you notice something?”
“The magic radiating from it, that feels kinda familiar.” he says, looking it over. You once more channel your ki into it, Chilli squinting and studying it closely.
“Whatever its doing, it is quite energy-consuming.” you say, stopping the flow of ki into the dragon bone and the light fades. “The moment I stop channeling power into it, the light fades.”
“Wait, the effect is continuous?” he asks, you nodding once. “I see. Perhaps I'll take the rest of that bone and carve another to run some tests on it. If I figure out why it seems familiar, I'll let you know. But it may take a bit, between testing it and that sword you left for me.”

“Take your time, I'm in no rush Chilli. You've clearly got your hands full here.” you tell him, gesturing over to the dozens of crystal chests he built. “Speaking of, where do you want all of these?”
“Let's take them down to the magic item shop.” he says, using his telekinesis to lift seven of them himself. You grab a dozen, Broly lifting the rest himself, and you all take off down to the village. You and Broly follow Chilli, who leads you all directly to a building that seems a bit nicer than the rest of those around it. As you all touch down, a familiar figure emerges from within.

“Chilli, I take it these are the dragons?” he asks, then notices you and Broly behind him. “Ah, General Karn. Good to see you again. How have you been?”
“Same as ever. Killed an Abyssal Dragon the other day, thanks to this sword.” you say, reaching up and tapping the Wolf Knight sword's handle hanging on your back. “How about yourself?”
“Nothing quite so exciting. But the business has really been taking off lately.” he replies, a sparkle in his eyes. The man's robes even seem newer, no longer the patchwork cloak you're more familiar with. “Thanks to all these dragon products selling excellently to the shops in Axel, we've been able to expand the business. Even the Capitol sends buyers for some of the more select cuts of dragon meat from time to time. Turns out dragon meat can actually grant experience points to adventurers as well, who'd have thought?”

“Experience points?” you ask, confused. Chilli and Megumin's father Hyoizaburoo both draw out pieces of parchment from their robes.
“They're a ranking system, based off of how many monsters you defeat and quests you complete for the Adventurer's Guild.” Chilli clarifies, finger pointing out a number you can't quite read. “As you gather more points and level up your class, you can gain new abilities based off the class you are.”
“I see.” you say, not wholly comprehending it. But what you do get is that he has been hard at work since he got here.
“Level forty eight? Is that good?” Broly asks his brother, Hyoizaburoo making a choking sound. And judging from that alone, yes it is pretty good.

You and Broly help the two wizards put the boxes away inside the shop for the next several minutes, storing them all in the back and letting the older wizard label them. Then once it's all done, you and your sons emerging from the back with Megumin's father an unfamiliar figure suddenly walks through the front door. And immediately your instincts start screaming at you that this figure means trouble.

“Wa haa! Boy who has recently awakened his carnal desires, and the magical item crafter who's son-in-law has single-handedly saved his failing business.” a mask wearing man says, stepping in with all the confidence of a natural killer. Your skin crawls in his presence, his energy feeling just as familiar as it is menacing. You've felt something like that being before, but don't recognize it immediately. Where have you felt ki like this before? “And who's this? A man who's body is soaked in more blood than this entire planet. You must be the boy's father.”

As you look at the creature, suddenly you begin to recognize that energy. It's been a while since you've seen Raven go all-out, but you clearly recognize the similarities between their ki. This thing is a demon.

“I don't know what you are doing here.” you say, positioning yourself between your family and the demon. “But I will eradicate you like Trigon if you try something.”
“Oh? You are the one who took down that overblown windbag? Impressive work, for a mortal.” the demon says, clearly not intimidated by you. Or, at least not trying to show any signs of intimidation. But as the demon straightens up, drawing more into itself and not leaving its body so exposed, you get the clear feeling that he has immediately classified you as a threat as well. “To think you'd end up all the way out here.”
“Chilli, Hyoizaburoo, want me to remove this thing before it can cause any trouble?” you ask them, not taking your eyes off of the demon. “Or do either of you know this demon?”

“Please don't harass the customers, General Karn.” Hyoizaburoo says, stepping past you and towards the demon. “Welcome Vanir, welcome. We just got several more dragons' worth of inventory, you won't find fresher.”
“One moment, dear supplier.” the demon apparently named Vanir says, stepping forward and to his left just enough to not have Hyoizaburoo standing directly between the two of you. “I found something far more interesting than some bones and organs.”
“Be careful dad.” Chilli speaks up suddenly. “He's an archdevil who feasts on the negative emotions of people. Don't let him wind you up.”
“No need to ruin all my fun. I don't interfere when you're having your fun.” the archdevil retorts, then smirks as he continues. “Alone in your secluded fortress, just the two of you when you both get-”

“That's enough.” Hyoizaburoo says, cutting off Vanir. “He's no problem, General Karn, we'll be just fine.”
“Thanks for the help today dad.” Chilli says to you. “But we can take it from here.”
“Are you sure?” you ask him telepathically, Chilli only nodding in response. You aren't sure how to take that, staring down the demon. “Alright. But if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.”
“If I need your help, I certainly will.” he replies, you glancing back to see his gaze is also focused hard on the demon. Who's simply standing there, smirking at being the center of attention.

“Come on Broly, we should get back.” you say to your emerald-haired son, turning from the demon and holding out your left hand. He takes it with his right, as you raise your right to your own forehead. “See you later kiddo.”

Then with a thought you reach out telepathically, linking minds with your wife before focusing on her ki through it and teleporting yourself and Broly back home. If this were your son from a year ago, or even six months ago, you wouldn't dare leave him alone with such a clearly-dangerous being. But he's gotten so much stronger over such a short period of time, you're confident he can handle a single menacing demon. After all, he's handled a whole lot worse since his encounter with that damned clown. Your son has almost killed one god and since he's been here, he apparently killed another. One single demon couldn't possibly be a comparable threat.

“There you are hun.” Meloka says, a smile on her face. “How's Chilli doing?”
“He's doing better.” you answer, feeling a small smile come to your face as well. “He's doing a lot better.”
“That's good to hear.” she says, knowing full well what you're talking about. “Looks like he left both of you with something as well.”
“Yeah.” you reply, relaxing your hold on the knife at your waist with your tail, holding it up for her to see. “Apparently he's been busy killing dragons.”
“Woah!” Maz and Kayle shout, looking at the sword Broly'd chosen for himself. “That's so cool!”

“Oh yeah. Stand back, and watch this.” he says, taking several steps away to show them just what it can do. Once again he channels his ki into the weapon, thrusting it into the sand to create the frozen blizzard around himself. You look down at the younger twins, their eyes wide in awe at watching his new weapon's ability. You smile at this, enjoying watching their eyes and even Chaya's light up at the unusual display. Once he's done, drawing the weapon back out of the ground, they rush over excitedly and both start talking a mile a minute. Chaya also goes over to them, looking the weapon over curiously as he starts explaining it. You wrap your right arm around your wife's shoulders, looking over the kids as they excitedly discuss the weapon, and what they hope their weapons Chilli's making for them can do. You enjoy seeing their excitement, relaxing and just enjoying being. No imminent threats, no big battles on the horizon, you can just live in the moment and enjoy being. You're going to keep getting stronger, increasing your might to be strong enough to protect your family. No matter what it takes.

“Good, you all are mostly together.” Towa suddenly thinks to you. “Are you all ready to come back?”
“Absolutely.” you reply, feeling your grin widen. You're going to get strong enough to protect ALL of your family.

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 180 paused-

>>5372424
And that's it for this weekend, has everyone had fun so far? Ready to return to Towa's, and spend time with that side of the family again? Ready for the first of the arc's timeskips, and to see how events unfold from there? All this and more, next Saturday on Saiyan Conqueror Quest!
Just a reminder, this episode won't continue tomorrow, as I'll be rolling irl dice. Instead, episode 180 resumes this coming Saturday, and will run through that weekend.

Does Vanir realize we could pretty much delete the entire demon realm if we tried hard enough?

Or just delete him if we get him within arm's reach?

Does he really know how deep of shit he'd have been in if we'd have started to throw down?

Do you know how little you can actually hurt him? Especially with Divine Dragon Force dormant?

When in doubt, apply more gun. If you explode hard enough to tear the fabric of reality it's bound to do something. If it doesn't you just need to explode so hard it tears the fabric of UNreality. Genius.

He has been “killed” once. But he just came right back.
>>5372606
It will be time next weekend. I’m eager to get to it, but not missing two consecutive months of irl dice.

>>5372633
Goddamnit, why is it that all the demons we have beef with or dont trust have some sort of resurrecting magic body bullshit?

>>5372633
Wait, wasn't his gimmick something like Shroidinger's from Hellsing? If he can perceive himself he can respawn? We just have to beat him so hard he wants to forget existing. We just apply pain and raw planet breaking hate at him until he stops existing out of a desire to make it stop.

>>5372781
I know Karn can make people soil themselves out of fear with just a look, but is it possible for him to make someone want to stop existing? Our victims usually want to keep existing.

>>5372633
>He has been “killed” once. But he just came right back.
Then he needs to be killed, HARDER.

>>5372663
Because those that will die damned well know better at this point. You killed Trigon, after all.
>>5372781
His body isn’t his body. His mask is his ‘body’. But even if you destroy it, he hasn’t actually manifested himself to the mortal plane.
>>5372788
Not likely.
>>5372832
Well in canon, he’d been killed by Explosion.

Debating on the order I want to do the intermission/epilogue stories. This episode we’ll have Kazuma’s meeting King Cold and Arctus’ meeting with Silva as the extras, unless another, more urgent one comes up or someone hits me with an absolutely inspiring one

>>5373015
I still want to see that whole Kazuma & the Dragonballs plotline resolved, so I want to be greedy and say go for that one
I'll try to remember to suggest the Magical Girl Karn omake for april fools

>>5373066
That’s down the road, once timeskips start going down. It took Freeza in canon roughly six months to get to Namek and this ship isn’t any faster. Plus he’s going from King Cold’s world near the core, not wherever he’d been conquering.
>spoiler
Its a good one. Not my personal favorite idea I’ve been cooking up, but it is funny

Say it with me:
BITCH
MADE

>>5373344
Didnt that happen in Somnius’ quest when fighting Cell?

>>5373513
I thought it was just barely a miss and he had Cell basically ass-rape Tofoo and co. but honestly knowing SOM it very well could have been. There was definitely reeeing though.

>>5373344
>>5373351
Ha. Boy has it rough.
>>5373513
That was a 95 on a hidden DC.
>>5373518
He loved Cell, and simply kept the Cell saga on the rails no matter what the players tried.

>>5373634
SOM is bitch made in quest lore. Simple as.

>>5373513
That happened a lot in SOM’s quests.

>>5373637
No, come on now. He’s a sadist and enjoyed hurting his players, but he wasn’t bitch made. That’s reserved for the people who never even take the plunge to try QMing their quest idea
>>5373713
True. He didn’t believe in any saving rolls, you were stuck to the railroad

>>5373785
All this griping about SOM makes me glad I wasn't around to seethe over his many "Rocks fall You die" quests, but I am curious about how each ridiculous trainwreck came to be. I know atleast that before Tofoo there was Kaguya, and that the former died to Cell asploding the Earth because of a fucked up Mafuba. seriously though how do you fuck that up

>>5373910
I intentionally skipped him, Frank is a complete dogshit Saiyan name.

>>5373869
Let’s see, in Tofoo’s quest they died to a single dice roll twice, rolled a 95 and still failed on a hidden dc that got the fusion of Tofoo and Goku Mafuba’d by an imperfect cell, if I recall correctly. The players were real salty about that one, and the quest died right about there. Someone else wrote an ending for it, if I’m remembering correctly.

Which all points to the biggest problem, and what I learned as a QM from his quests. You can’t stick to the rails too hard. If your players call for something unexpected like befrending a simple write off boss you then had to write a whole ass backstory and plotline for, you can’t just override them. Same with hidden DCs, I think the highest I’ve put behind a ?? was either a 70 or an 80. Except for the requiem battle, but Lyin’ Eyes Requiem was special.

>>5373966
Wait was his name actually frank. Was he raised by humans

>>5373976
>Let’s see, in Tofoo’s quest they died to a single dice roll twice

How the fuck would the Evil Containment Wave work on a Goku fusion? Fucking HOW
>You can’t stick to the rails too hard. If your players call for something unexpected you can’t just override them.
That is very true. I'm still trying to learn from other quests and QMs to eventually run my own, though my biggest hurdle is with committment and scheduling, especially with college coming up.
>>5373981
Yes. And he was born and raised on Planet Vegeta where everyone except him had a veggie themed name. It drove me up a wall.

Intermission this week will be following the Kazuma/Freeza storyline, then with the epilogue we’ll go back to Arctus and see what progress he’s made.

Doesn't look like it, all hair seems to go to the head. Meloka smooth as a peach right now.

>>5374775
I’m sure there’s an audience for it, somewhere. But with anything based on fighting, you’ll have to find the balance between virtually no player input on attacks or having a single fight take up three irl months like that one swordy quest did awhile back.
>>5374862
Unknown. But it doesn’t make new hair grow, only existing hair. And DO Saiyans even have armpit hair?

QM UPDATE

Four posts in on the epilogue, things are getting quite interesting. Bringing Aqua to King Cold has had some....unexpected consequences. And surprisingly more of them are positive than negative

GD, I think it's safe to assume that there's almost zero overlap between people who like DBZ enough to play in a CYOA based off of it and people who've read or watched Konosuba.

While it makes sense fans of a comedy writer like Toriyama would also enjoy a spoof series, I could see some who took it far too seriously.
Short version is she can, spoilers: break even the strongest of curses, spells, magic barriers, etc.
>>5375212
Fun things are indeed fun.

>>5375218
DID SHE FUCKING HEAL COLD COMPLETELY?

>>5375218
In my case, everything I've seen about Konosuba is incredibly unappealing.
Again, that's just my tastes, not an indictment of the series itself.

>>5375221
A good question
>>5375225
It is most certainly not for everyone. But for those of us who do, season 3 was finally announced. Can’t wait to see pic related’s shenanigans unfold, and the anime-onlys to have their minds blown.
>>5375252
Not quite.

I mean sure Aqua CAN do her thing, but for all she's an absolute moron, she does have a once in a blue moon period of common sense or divine action. See when she ran into....Kars or Karn or Chilli, can't remember, and eruopted into divine power and was legit about to throw down.

So really it comes down to Colds ability to sell a deal and Aquas ability to Aqua up the process.

>>5375261
King Cold has no idea deities can break curses. He’s been on friendly terms with the Supreme Kai for centuries, and he’s never even TRIED to heal him after all.

>>5375331
>He’s been on friendly terms with the Supreme Kai for centuries
Friends close, enemies closer, etc...
>and he’s never even TRIED to heal him after all
I'm starting to think we should let Cold have a swing at Shin instead.

>>5375331
>King Cold has no idea deities can break curses. He’s been on friendly terms with the Supreme Kai for centuries, and he’s never even TRIED to heal him after all.
I mean why would he? In his old and crippled state, King Colds a predictable and very effective power balancer when it comes to galatic politics, and it keeps him out of the limelight and focused on hunting down Babadi.

If hes healed however, he WILL start stepping onto the galactic stage again, and start reliving his Good Old Days. Which weren't good for anyone but him. Thats not what Shin needs to deal with when he can avoid it. Plus it would by necessity, mean Cold would focus less on hunting Babidi and Buu, which Shin ALSO doesn't want.

>>5375331
Does he know Shin is super incompetent? Its probably for the best, he would make it worse.

>>5375335
There is a line forming.
>>5375359
At that point, even old and damaged he still showed up. During both Covenant sieges, not just the big one. He is still hell-bent on destroying Buu, but losing an asset as powerful as the Saiyans were becoming was such a risk he had to enter the fray himself.
>>5375365
He knows that Shin is nowhere as powerful, wise, or intelligent as his predecessor. But neither of them know what the limits of a deity’s power actually are or can be. However, there is one being who is looking for the limits of not only mortal and divine ki, but now magic as well

>>5375401
I'm looking forward to Kars actually pulling his weight someday.
Has he managed to convince Whis and Beerus that he's a better fit for Supreme Kai?
Because I'm gonna be real, Shin ain't cut out for it.

>>5375401
>pic
I don't think I'm ready for the sheer, primal anger Karn will unleash when he comes face to face with THAT.
>You are now imagining the scene where Zamasu tells Karn instead of Goku what he did to his family.
>>5375409
As much as I distrust Kars, the queue for "Kick Shin in the shins" grows by the day. He's a (relatively) smart deity, so maybe he WON'T be nearly as big of a fuck up as his associates.

>>5375418
Kars is also probably aware of the fact that there's at least a handful of people who can destroy him permanently if he steps out of line, so that's probably a pretty good incentive to actually do the job well.

>>5375401
Isn't that the dyke from owl house?

>>5375449
Lmfao what
Thats (presumably) SSJR3 Meloka Black

>>5375483
thats Kars, see that thing in his head? He just has a different jawline and skintone and clothes and super saiyan rose 3 on top

>if the SKoT was somewhat competent, she could have, way back before meddling, tried to take out most of the saiyans with a feast. after all, the SKoTs cooking is even able to disable a God of Destruction

>>5375418
Hey Karn doesn't like Kars, and they aren't even contextual allies, but Kars has mostly not fucked with us and ours. He's been a dick and extremely antagonistic but that's about it. The worst he has done was step to the Guardian and try to Tanya the good suck. Everything else has just been him pushing boundaries because he's a dick. At least as far as I can recall.

He ain't Trunks or the time cunt.

>>5375494
She also could have just lent Karn a helping hand in his time of need like a good person instead of being a spiteful bitch.
Remember, this entire conflict between us and her is because we had the audacity to protect our mate.

>>5375505
Pretty much. We won't just insta-big Kars when we see him, but he's never getting invited to the bi-weekly cookout at this rate.

>>5375505
I'm still sour about the Nabu thing. I get that it was his job to save that sorry bastard's hide from rightful anihilation, but it still stings. He's a total dick, but atleast he isn't The Boy or The BIIITCH. As far as shitlists go, he'd be reasonably inbetween the middle and the end.

So apparently the next issue of the Super manga is going to unveil another new form for Freeza....
(as he murders the fuck out of the Heeters)

>>5375805
Personally I'm ready for Frieza Verde
those fucks better make golden fifth form a thing

>>5375856
freiza blanco

>>5375409
He’s got plans for the universe.
No, he hasn’t spoken with Whis since the last visit.
True.
>>5375418
Haven’t you already seen it? When Kars came for Tanya? I could have sworn he showed Karn, or did he only tell him?
>imagining
Oh man, if it plays out the same way...
Kars still has his arrogance problem, but he’s at least cognitively aware of it.
>>5375449
The fuck’s that, a tree?
>>5375483
No, not Meloka. She’s no Kai.
>>5375492
That’s the thing, Kars is the ultimate shapeshifter.
>>5375494
Ha, not wrong.
>>5375505
He did explicitly state he didn’t want to fight Karn, except to test his own power and see how he measured up.
>>5375507
True. Twice in a row, at that.
>>5375546
You think YOU’RE sour? Imagine how Chilli feels? Or worse, Kars? He realized that not only does Za Warudo not affect either of them, but that Chilli can also erase his ass from existence.
>>5375805
Spoilers.

>>5375954
Yeah only after re-analyzing the pic did I realize that was actually Kars and not Meloka Black. The long rose colored hair confused me, I forgot Kars copied the super saiyan transformation. I don't like the implications of artificial saiyans, can you imagine the disaster if just anyone, not to mention our enemies, could use our natural born power just like that? Makes me glad we iced Shalnark all those threads back with THE PLAN.

>>5376062
If it makes you feel better, he probably can't copy our Legendary mutation.
I imagine the anti-divine properties of the transformation wouldn't play nice with the Divine Ki used in creating a genuine lifeform.

>>5375954
Has anyone in the Time Patrol tried to unlock our undefeatable ultimate technique, The Grinder, yet?
Just think about how bullshit it is in PVP. It looks like a normal grapple but it turns into some SERIOUS damage.

>>5376062
That artist doesn’t draw jaws and chins, as I realized later.
Only Kars(of beings that are actually alive) of Universe 7 could do such a thing, but why would he? Saiyans are extremely powerful and somewhat unpredictable.
Ah yes, THE PLAN. A battle I really enjoyed writing that doesn’t get all that much love. Just like Super Saiyan 2 in the show/manga after Cell.
>>5376066
He may or may not have already tried to.
>>5376069
Last we’ve seen, the Three Idiots got c-c-combo’d by it during a grinding session. Not just a grab, but a happy birthday grab that ignores blocking(and may or may not have super armor at the time w/Energy Body) is extremely dangerous.

>>5376169
>He may or may not have already tried to.
Do elaborate. I wanna know how long his spawn was allowed to spasm before he dashed it against the proverbial stones.

>I will laugh if karns hyperawarness of sneak breekie bois has rubbed off on the cold family.

Anyone else is tired of UE and to a lesser extent UI jobbing for this past year.

>>5376818
Is it jobbing if Ultra Ego has never won a fight before? Is it supposed to be good? At this rate, UE getting its arse kicked is just 'consistency'.

>>5376787
How would she steal it though? She got caught by Freeza before even MAKING it to the planet.
>>5376809
No, Cold’s just experienced and extremely paranoid.
>>5376818
I hope UE is ‘incomplete’, and Vegeta gets the salty kill on Freeza in the end. Make up for Resurrection F’s bullshit. But we Vegeta fans all know that’s only wishful thinking.
>>5376821
Fair. Same for Super Saiyan 3, only fight it ever won was a non-canon movie with a very flash marketing push.

>>5376826
The fact Vegeta keeps saying that his UE is "evolving" makes me think it hasn't been mastered, much less reached its true potential/form. It would've been way better to show Vegeta's UE in the sign to illustrate its better far from completed. This month-long break will probably be used to redesign UE among other things basic on people's perceptive of the form. I'm hoping the form gets deeply fleshed out cause right now it's frustratingly disappointing.

>>5376826
>How would she steal it though? She got caught by Freeza before even MAKING it to the planet.
Like all good heists, it involves a team. That said, I get the feeling it's pretty much impossible to slip by Cold. Especially in his own abode.

>>5376826

so your saying instead, karn picked it up from them. I suppose that works, too.

>>5376885
Remember, Karn was born and raised on the battlefield.
Living like that for your entire childhood does nothing but sharpen your instincts to the nth degree.

>>5376887
no anon, Karn raized the battlefeild.

its a fucking crater now

>>5376891
Never forget that he was an active participant in a planetary genocide before his balls even dropped.
How can the rest of the Universe even compete?

>>5376826
>I hope UE is ‘incomplete’
I hope not. Geetz hasn't had his own story beats that haven't been clearly recycled since Z.

>>5376962
at least he has story beats. unlike my boi Tien he got screwed. he should be the strongest human bar none but was surpassed by Krillin and Master Roshi (who did off screen training). all people remember him for is the Tri-Beam/Kikoho

>>5376976
Tien has the ultimate curse. Being vaguely Chinese in DB. Look at little Chiaotzu. Look at Egg Shen and Mercenary Tao. All dead.

>>5376979
To be fair, Krillin is extremely fucking Chinese and has a smoking hot wife on top of his five minutes of fame in Super.
I feel like there's an unspoken cut-off for Chinese influence somewhere...

>>5376981
Krillin has no nose.

I need Xeno Vegeta to visit sometime just so he can get a good look at what Chronoa took from him.

>>5377059
>>Arguably the most powerful specimen of his race
Now hold on a sec, just because he got ssj4 doesn't mean he's the de-facto top dog, or atleast for long. We're getting that Beserker SSJ3 no matter how many times we have to smack the avatar of rage in the face.

>>5377068
He's definitely in the conversation though, and in this timeline it actually means something.
Being the strongest Saiyan isn't very impressive when your only competition is some backwoods retard.

>>5377068
just add a currently modifier.

>>5377070
You got me there, it is more impressive being the strongest out of thousands instead of like 3 and a half saiyans

>>5376828
What we need to know is if the boosted power is permanently added to his own which would be OP as hell, only while the form is active so it keeps previously acquired power, or if it resets from 0 each time.
>>5376879
If she hadn’t been caught by Freeza, it might have been possible. But now there is a sub-zero chance she’s sneaking anywhere.
Karn never met Cold until after he’d become a Super Saiyan.
>>5376962
His story has all been internal. With this arc and the (hopefully next) with him addressing and finally letting go of the past, he should be fully able to step into the Destroyer’s shoes. Or reject it all, and stick stubbornly to his goal of beating Kakarot ‘his’ way.
>>5376995
He’d be disappointed. Much as canon Vegeta would weep at what our Vegeta has accomplished.
>>5377059
>>Decently strong wife (I know they're not married but it's pretty much a done deal at this point)
I really hate this meme. Same with the Ubo/Raven one honestly, although that one I dislike less. Its like some of you, and spoilered for potential emotional damage: never even had a friendship with someone of the opposite sex. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
>>5377068
Just judging off of powerlevel and raw strength, he currently is by a long shot. >>5377070
Being the better of the only two people isn’t much of an achievement.
>>5377085
Well with Broly being canon now, he absolutely btfo’s them both. So he’s third place in a three man race, not counting the halflings

>>5377099
>spoiler
Caught me red handed.
Anyways, I can't wait for our next regularly scheduled home invasion from the Time Patrol. It's gonna be fun to no-sell the majority of their attacks.

>>5377099
Curses, I checked the pastebin and he's nearly double our strongest (stable) form. We need to up the ante.

SOON

>>5377105
If they knew where and when Future Chaya and Ace were staying, SKoT would have already launched a full-scale attack. Their home is secure, so long as Mechikabura doesn't betray you all.
>>5377131
He's been pushing himself physically, while Karn hasn't been focusing on raw powerlevel. But that won't make a difference, once the timeskip's over. New, stronger forms for both Meloka and Karn incoming with the next arc.

>>5377142
No no, not our Extradimensional Condo, I'm talking about our original timeline.

Is there any way we could prevent the residual energy of Towa's current timeline from building up on Karn?
There's gotta be some sorta trinket or spell...

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 180 Intermission-

AGE 750, KING COLD'S PLANET

“So, let me get this straight.” King Cold says, relaxing in his throne with a glass of wine in one hand, his chin in the other as he looks down upon you all. Mostly you, as you feel the intense urge to crawl in a hole and die under his menacing stare. “You're saying that you were reincarnated by the gods to bring balance to a world by defeating a so-called Demon King. But you've abandoned that mission to bring my son to these “Dragon Balls” that will somehow have his wish granted?”
“Th-That's correct, your highness.” you say, fighting the urge to prostrate yourself before him and instead bowing as is custom from your original home. “I thought that if I helped Lord Freeza fulfill his heart's desire, he would help me life a risk-free life of luxury and leisure.”

“And you, you tagged along with his group, planning to come here and steal from me.” he says, turning his gaze to Chris. Whose hands have been bound together before her, so she cannot activate her Steal. Yet despite being powerless before one of the most powerful beings in the universe, she seems completely unphased, looking unapologetically up to him. Or, more specifically, the clearly valuable golden goblet he's been drinking from instead. Once a thief, always a thief. “This so-called divine relic you say you're after. A powerful artifact from the divine realm itself was entrusted to a mortal who'd been resurrected, much like this man Kazuma here?”
“Yes, your highness. That is how it was explained to me.” Chris replies honestly. “I was told to find and retrieve the relic and place the seal on it that will return it to the divine realm.”

“And now you.” King Cold continues, turning to face Aqua as you feel yourself break out in a sweat. This is the moment you were afraid of. “When this man was resurrected, you were sent along as his divine aid to help in place of one of these relics?”
“That's right. He may look slow, but Kazuma here's pretty bright.” she says flippantly, showing no reverence to a being that can erase her with a thought. “He's nut as dumb as he looks. He could have chosen one of dozens of other artifacts, or 'cheat items', but instead he chose to be accompanied by the great and powerful goddess Aqua.”

As she talks, you can't help but slap your hand over your face while stifling a groan. You are Kazuma, former Japanese Neet-turned-adventurer who is now also a space traveler under the protection of the universe's emperor, the powerful Lord Freeza. Trading your otherworldly knowledge of the universe in exchange for your safety and a chance at living the good life, you'd thought this would be your lucky break. But here, in the throne room of his father King Cold, you feel that your life has never been in greater danger.

>>5377204
“If you are the powerful goddess that you claim, then why can't I sense any overwhelming divine ki from you?” he asks, Aqua clearly not liking him challenging her. So she arrogantly walks up, taking a couple steps up her stairs as he smirks down at her. But she stops well short, snapping her fingers and summoning her magical staff that you'd forced her to leave on the ship to her hands. “Ohh?”
“I'll show you just how powerful the great Goddess of Water Aqua can really be!” she declares, the flower on the end of her staff blooming as she points it at him, golden light beginning to radiate from it. “And I'll do that by breaking that curse that's latched on to you!”

“Wait, what?” you say, having had no idea that King Cold had been cursed. King Cold seems just as surprised as you are, his eyes wide at her words.
“Sacred Break Spell!!” she shouts, an explosion of golden light blasting out from her staff and enveloping King Cold's entire body. The light takes several seconds to fade away, revealing that King Cold has risen up to his feet, fixing her with an icy glare. But as he raises his hand, suddenly he looks down at it in confusion.
“I-Its....Gone?” he asks his hand, sounding far less like an invincible tyrant and more like a confused old man who just lost his cane. “It is really gone? Just like that?”
“See? I told you I'm powerful! I could see that curse hangin' around you and figured that I could easily break it” Aqua brags nonchalantly, flipping her hair back over her shoulder. “You can thank me anytime.”

Her haughty attitude disappears as he starts walking wordlessly towards her, letting out a very undignified yelp and falling backwards down the stairs. But you barely notice her, your attention on King Cold as you fell the menace radiating off of him while he looks at his hands. He then clenches his fists, you immediately bracing yourself.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” King Cold roars, energy blazing up around him like a raging inferno. His body vanishes inside his swirling energy as the shock waves slam into you all, sending you, Aqua, Yunyun, Chris, and even Darkness flying back and landing in a pile at the far wall. But instead of slamming into a solid, unyielding wall you instead crash face-first into something soft. Taking a startled breath in, your lungs are filled with the smell of Yunyun. Opening your eyes, you see that your face is right between her voluptuous breasts. Your favorite place to accidentally and 'accidentally' end up. After a few seconds you look up, and see her face is bright red.

>>5377205
“Ah, s-sorry.” you say, pushing off of something hard as a rock behind her to get back to your feet, then offer her a hand. She takes it, still blushing furiously as you help her stand back up. Then the two of you turn back around to King Cold, Aqua complaining you didn't help her up as well. But you barely hear her, eyes focused on the menacing figure before you. King Cold has transformed, taking on the “100% Full Power” mode you remember Freeza fighting Super Saiyan Goku with. “Woah.”

“I....I'm cured.” he says, voice awed as he looks down at his hands again, slowly clenching and unclenching his fists. “After all these years, it's finally gone. I'm...Free....”

He then looks up, and seeing the shape of your party immediately powers back down. Not entirely, as he remains in his muscular form, but his aura fades away almost instantly while he walks forward. And to your, and everyone else's clear surprise walks directly over to Aqua, and kneels to her!

“Thank you. That curse has been ravaging my body for centuries, eating away at my strength and crippling me.” King Cold says, your mind going into overdrive considering the possibilities and implications as he continues. “Tens of thousands of healers, mystics, and wizards have tried to break it, but none were capable of what you've just done. Not even General Karn's daughter, with all her miraculous healing prowess could erase this curse, not completely.”
“Of course not. I'm a goddess.” she continues, beaming at the praise being heaped upon her. If he doesn't stop soon, her head will be too large to fit back through the door. “Any goddess, or even divine being could have broken such a simple curse like that one.”

As she says this his expression turns dark and downright murderous, but the oblivious Aqua keeps talking.

“I bet even my subordinate goddess Iris could have broken it, were she here.” Aqua says, and you see Chris immediately avert her eyes. Right, she's a devoted Iris Church supporter. But as Aqua finishes talking and looks to him for more praise, she freezes upon seeing the look on his face. She yelps in surprise, immediately cowering behind Darkness's sturdy frame and peeks out from behind her like a child hiding behind a parent. You aren't sure how or why her telling him that any goddess could break that curse upset him, but now you're certain he's about to kill you all.
“Thank you for that bit of pertinent information as well.” he says icily, his face one of barely-contained rage for several seconds. King Cold then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath in, then sighs out. You can see the tension leaving his body, as the man regains control of his temper. “Looks like that Pretender wasn't entirely wrong.”

>>5377206
“Pretender?” you ask, realizing immediately that something else is going on here. But you need more information to discover exactly what that is. But he just waves you off, his expression returning to one of mild amusement that he wore before Aqua'd cured him.
'Not an issue for any of you to bother yourselves with, I just had a rather....Unpleasant meeting with someone just before you all arrived.” he says, then with your Lip Reading skill make out him mouthing under his breath: “Next time that damned Kai visits, we're having words.” You wonder what Kai visited him, but King Cold shakes his head and continues talking aloud to you all. “As for the divine artifact, very well. I shall entrust its return to you all.”

“Thank you very much!” Chris says, bowing in a surprisingly traditional way before him. He chuckles at this, then continues.
“And now for you, Goddess Aqua. For doing for me what no one else could, you shall have a fitting reward.” he says, you seeing Aqua almost start drooling at this immediately. “Name your price, and if it is within my power it shall be yours.”
“Anything?” she asks, looking quite the opposite of the image of a goddess. But her eyes transfix themselves on the bottle resting beside his throne and her eyes light up. “You're a wine guy, right? You seem the type.” she says, buttering him up. “So I'm sure you have some really good bottles, right? I'd like a bottle of some of the really good stuff!”

“....Heh. Very well, it shall be yours.” he replies with a bemused smile. “I'll have to reach out to my nephew, Arctus, and see which bottle he would recommend you. He's more the professional drinker than I and has helped amass quite the collection here.”
“I'll gratefully accept your kind donation.” Aqua replies with a benevolent-seeming, far more goddess-like smile on her face. “And this Arctus sounds like my kinda guy. We'll have to go drinking together sometime.”
“Hahahaha. I'm sure such a thing could be arranged, once you all return victoriously from Planet Namek.” he says, clearly in high spirits. “Now, if you would all come with me. I shall lead you to my treasury, where the divine relic in question is no doubt stored.”

You all follow him from his throne room, Freeza still mysteriously absent since his meeting with his father earlier, walking behind the towering figure until he comes to a pair of titanic doors with no obvious mechanisms for entering aside from the glowing circular dip in the stone. He simply reaches forward, places his hand palm-first against the door, and then the light fades away. The doors then begin sliding silently inwards, opening to a sight that makes your jaw drop. King Cold doesn't have a bank vault, his treasure vault could fit several entire banks inside!

Hundreds upon hundreds of treasures all gleam before you, the sheer mass of treasure before you leaving you speechless. Shelves line the walls going hundreds of meters up, treasures covering them as far as you can see. Golden coins are scattered across the floor as well, perhaps more than a foot deep at their deepest. But they seem to be the lesser treasures, stacked haphazardly together in comparison to the rest of the room. Statues of different beings are placed intermittently between large, clear cases, each one holding what seems to be a different sort of weapon. Swords, axes, spears, and other weapons you can't identify are held in these sealed cases. You even see one holding what look to be a collection of different lightsabers as well! It is like the British museums, except instead of housing the treasures of one world, he has the plunder from hundreds of different planets. He seemingly has everything you could imagine, plus more.

“Now, little thief. I'm curious: how did you intend to find such a treasure among my vast collection?” King Cold asks Chris, reaching out and shattering the restraints with his telekinesis. She doesn't seem deterred, simply drawing what looks like a compass from her back pocket. However, the 'north' end isn't the usual red. Instead it is a slightly luminous gold, pointing directly at Aqua. “Ohh?”
“This is a divine magic detector.” she says, looking down to see it is still pointing directly at Aqua. “Ummm, Goddess Aqua? Would you mind stepping back a bit? Your divine aura is too much, the compass can only focus on you.”
“Of course, the great and powerful Aqua would be what it focuses on.” she replies, flicking her hair behind a shoulder as she turns and walks back away from the door.

“King Cold, I have a suggestion.” you say, speaking up. “That door seems thick enough to suppress Aqua's aura. If you lock the two of us in there, we'll be able to find it without her interference.”
“And without me watching you both line your pockets.” he says wryly, raising a brow slightly at the two of you. “But very well. Head on in, and I'll shut it behind you. Once the two of you have retrieved the artifact, Kazuma, reach out to me telepathically and I will let you both out. Understood?”
“Yes sir.” you say, bowing to him. Chris copies you, doing the same before him. You both then rise simultaneously to the amused grin of King Cold before turning back to the treasure vault. You and Chris share a glance, then both of you turn back towards the massive treasure vault before you both. “You ready Chris?”

“Let's do this.” she replies, and you both step forward into the vault proper. The door booms ominously behind you, leaving just you and Chris alone. “Now, don't go getting any funny ideas.”

“Come on, keep your fantasies to yourself.” you tease back, joking off the sudden implications of what she says. But you do feel your cheeks warm up, your mind playing out several scenarios of what the two of you could do. Shaking your head, you re-focus on the goal. “Now, where is that compass pointing?”
“Let's see.” she says, holding it up again. But the needle is still pointed directly at Aqua. “Oh.”
“We must still be too close, let's go deeper in.” you tell her, turning back to the room at large. “Let's keep moving.”

“Right.” she answers and the two of you begin methodically searching the vault. You look around, trying to identify some of the treasures here, and immediately recognize two in side by side cases. Your jaw drops, seeing the crystal and fleshy swords Soul Edge and Soul Caliber! The demonic eye fixes itself on you, and for a split-second feel compelled to open the case and take up the sword. But you know better, grabbing your own hand with the other and forcibly tearing your eyes from it. Only to see another iconic weapon, the two halves of a sword-sized pair of red scissors. Seeing the swords you look around for the suit, only to see an even greater weapon, Yoru, suspended in another case! Everywhere you look, you recognize another weapon from a show you watched or manga you'd read, looking from iconic weapon to iconic weapon. From the demon fang-made Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga sharing a case to the one holding a seemingly-unassuming wooden bokken inscribed with the words “LAKE TOYA”, you feel your inner weeb growing jealous at the sheer magnitude of King Cold's irreplaceable collection.

“Damn, I'd kill to have-” you start to mutter, then feel your blood run cold and sweat start to bead as you realize something: King Cold DID kill to have this collection. He no doubt killed the inhabitants of each of these worlds, leaving no one alive and claiming their treasures for his own. As you have this realization you drop to your knees, looking at nothing as your mind forces you to imagine how this version of King Cold probably wiped out most of the worlds of your childhood and early teenage years. They're all gone, obliterated by this space tyrant. “No way. He....He really....All of them....Gone.”
“It's terrible, isn't it?” Chris asks, kneeling beside you and placing her hand comfortingly on your far shoulder, almost hugging you. “So many lives cut short. So many dead and gone before their time. The Cold family are stained with blood, more so than anyone else in this entire universe. But we can't falter here. Let's get this divine artifact and get out of here, as soon as possible.”

But it's not so simple. You'd promised Freeza to get him his heart's desire, after all. You can't back out now, no matter how badly you want to just cut and run. He's so impossibly fast you could never out run him, he can breathe in space so you can't fly away from him. And even if you somehow COULD escape, his big Saiyan enforcer Karn can simply hunt you down with Instant Transmission no matter where you hide. You hadn't fully comprehended the evil that the Cold clan was capable of, but that's no excuse. You willingly signed up to work for them. So now you'll have to see this path through to the end.

“Thanks Chris.” you say, turning and nodding to her before rising to your feet. “Let's keep going. We need to find this thing, quick.”
“Right.” she replies, standing up and offering you her hand. “Let's do this.”

You take her hand in your own, allowing your friend to haul you upright. You've dug yourself into this mess, you're just going to have to find your way back out of it. And as you look through King Cold's treasury with renewed purpose, you seek something capable of getting you out of this situation. But after a few minutes traveling inward, you hear her suddenly gasp. Turning, you see that the compass' needle has changed direction! No longer is it pointing at the door, but further back into the treasury itself. The two of you share a look, then nod to each other and walk side-by-side deeper into the depths of his vault. Glancing back over your shoulder, you can no longer even SEE the entrance to this place. It's so large that you could easily get lost inside. But such thoughts are swept aside as the two of you come upon another glass case, the needle pointing directly at what lies within.

“N-No way, he has THAT?!” you exclaim, looking at the mythical item held suspended in the case before you. And suddenly you begin to wonder how that warrior from the future Trunks ever managed to defeat King Cold. Just how strong WAS that curse weakening him?

MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRR

So, we are absolutely making sure that King Cold has Shin's head on a pike with no interruptions. The big boss deserves it after all the centuries of being saddled with a crippling disease while Shin knew and didn't help. I want to rip Kibito's head off while King Cold anihilates that pussy of a kai

>>5377215
Its really sinking in for him what is going on, huh?

>>5377221
unfortunately until Kars takes over as supreme Ki we're stuck with Shin. if both he and beerus we gone Zeno would probably just erase our universe.

>>5377229
>thinking that dumbfuck would give a singular shit in his eternally 5 year old brain
If Zen-oh had a braincell, Zamasu would be LONG dead and U9 would get destroyed.

>>5377215
GAAAHHHHHHHHH
WHAT THE FUCK IS IT GD I NEED TO KNOW

I for one can't wait to get the absolute piss beat out of us by Cold. In a friendly way.

>>5377223
Yeah. I don't think he fully grasped the implications of working with multi-milennium old space dictator with the power to make the galaxy tremble before him. There's always that disconnect of finding a villain cool and seeing them for what they are.

>>5377246
That just means he can wrangle us while we come to grips with Berserker 3.
Everything's coming up Karn!

>>5377221
You say that as if King Cold were not wholly capable of doing so himself now.
>>5377223
Oh yeah, he finally 'got' it.
>>5377239
That would be spoiling. I will say though, that a Japanese Neet, well versed in anime and rpgs would recognize it on sight.
>>5377246
Ha!
>>5377247
Bingo. He understood on an intellectual level, but it wasn't 'real' to him yet.
>>5377250
He's strong, but not that strong. Best contenders for that are still Beerus, Whis, and Golden Freeza. And no, before anyone asks, he's nowhere to his new form yet. He's not even mastered Golden yet.

>>5377254
>That would be spoiling.
Would you be opposed to a game of 21 questions?

>>5377254
>You say that as if King Cold were not wholly capable of doing so himself now.
I'm not doubting that the rightful ruler of the stars can kill the mewling kai, I just don't want some immortal timestopping asshole cucking another one of our friends and family out of a deserved divine kill. Then again, why would Kars try to stop Cold? As a matter of fact, who else besides that geriatric fart Kibito would DARE help Shin and get in King Cold's way?

Also I know the lifelink between the supreme kai and supreme destroyer is OOC knowledge for almost everyone, but how quickly would Cold put Shin on ice if he knew that killing the green oaf gets the cat out of his hair as well?

>>5377254
Tell me if any of these are right. You don't have to say which one.
Muramasa? Murasame? Masamune? The Master Sword? Arondight? Ascalon? Blutgang? Caliburn? Durandal? The Grass-Cutting Sword? Tyrfing? The Vorpal Blade? The Rebellion or the Yamato, or Sparda/Force Edge? A fuckin' Zanpakuto from Bleach? The Sword of Dormin? Actually, scratch that last one, Dormin is probably just another manus fragment.

>>5377282
Huh, when you put it like this, no wonder King Cold in the Cell Saga timeline thought that Trunks's sword was magic. He's probably seen countless magical swords of good or evil. Hell, some of them might have hurt him back in his heyday.

>>5377261
Not opposed, but I'm not giving away many hints.
>>5377265
The reason Shin's death would kill Beerus is he's the LAST Supreme Kai. As we saw pre-Majin Buu, there are supposed to be FIVE Supreme Kais, the Cardinal Supreme Kais then the Grand Supreme Kai. As long as -A- Kai lives, the mantle shifts to them.
>>5377282
>Actually, scratch that last one, Dormin is probably just another manus fragment.
Heh
>>5377287
Quite. He's seen a LOT in his time.

>>5377288
>Not opposed, but I'm not giving away many hints.
I'll shoot my shot then.
Is it divine in nature?
Is it a melee weapon?
Is it part of a set?

>>5377290
Yes
Possibly
No. Divine items given to mortals were individual items. Except for the rare pair, but that's a pair and not a set.

>>5377298
Alright. I think we're getting somewhere.
Was the object always in its current form?
Does it have a mind of its own?
Are there any rules as to who can and can't use it?

>>5377288
I see, it works kind of like the Piccolo & Kami lifelink does. That means killing Shin would have no consequences. Not like Kars would learn ANYTHING from Shin, he only needs Kibito at best.

>>5377301
No, it was created from materials.
Good question
King Cold could not use it
>>5377303
Bingo. As long as there is a Kai to inherit the link and mantle, the Destroyer is fine. And no, he does still need to learn absolutely everything Shin learned from the other Kais first.

>>5377308
Was the object created for a specific individual?
Is it currently in a "dormant" state?
Did Cold kill its original owner or did he simply find the object?

>>5377308
How humiliating that the ultimate lifeform Kars has to get his education from a Freshman Kai. The only thing worse would be him meeting Cell

>>5377311
Spoiler
No
Good question. He might not remember at this point.
>>5377314
He is rather annoyed at it. But when he's around the Supreme Kai he doesn't let it show.

>>5377318
Alright I'll can the questions for now, I feel like any more and I'll spoil the surprise.
Anyways, what's stopping Kars from eating Shin and gaining all of his knowledge?
