Another World Lls - Chapter 203
(Several years later.)
(Arthur’s Clone POV.)
‘Yet another year… I wonder if this year will be the one…’ I thought as I drank my soda.
Furthermore, I don’t know if it’s my fault or what, but Bulma has been celebrating her birthday in the middle of the sea for several years, on one of her gigantic yachts. What makes my nerves go to the limit every year at this time.
Although I fully understand why Bulma always decides to celebrate her birthday at sea, since in one way or another, we almost always end up having a private mini tournament between ourselves…
And it goes without saying that it is much easier for all of us to fight in the middle of the sea, than on land, since we greatly limit collateral damage.
Errr… Returning to the topic, I wonder if it will be this year, the year that Beerus woke up…
I personally think so.
Since although I do not remember the specific year of said event, this year in particular… My original body is going to be delayed in arriving…
I do not know if I explain myself.
Both I, as the original body, have been paying attention to this time of year for years, with extreme caution… Which means that my original self always comes a couple of days before Bulma’s birthday every year…
It would be a lot of coincidence that fair the year that my original self is not able to come in advance, a wild Beerus appeared to cause trouble… Right?
Hey, Arthur. Do you know when the real Arthur arrives? ” Bulma commented to me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
‘Speaking of the King of Rome… Queen in this case.’ I thought as I directed my attention to the birthday girl.
“It is impossible for me to know, since traveling between universes is not something that can be done in an instant, apparently. For although the journey itself is only one step through a portal. There may be a disparity from several hours to several days. So all I can tell you is that hopefully my original will arrive today, if we are not lucky, you will have to wait for your gifts for a day or two. ” I replied to Bulma.
Hearing my answer, Bulma sighed, a somewhat melancholic look on her face.
“I know it was a somewhat sudden and selfish request, but when I saw my father in that state…” Bulma told me, giving an explanation that no one has asked of her… Certainly, it seems like he’s not having a good time lately.
What happened is that about a week ago, Bulma’s father Dr. Brief had a heart attack…
It was a huge scare for the Brief family.
That’s why Bulma came to me with a request… She begged me to give them another dose of longevity potion for her parents.
It doesn’t matter to me personally, since although the materials to make such a potion are quite rare, they are easy to obtain for me.
The only problem is that although it is not difficult to make such a potion, it does take time.
So by giving me such short notice, my original self may not be able to come to Bulma’s birthday on time.
And although from anyone’s perspective, nothing happens because of the delay. Since it does not matter if the longevity potion arrives a day earlier or later, since although Dr. Brief is quite old, his condition is not bad enough to die suddenly.
But for someone like me, who knows that Beerus may appear, all this seems like a great coincidence…
“You know that for us, this kind of thing is something of no importance, the only thing you have to worry about is that you father don’t refuse to take the potion. ” I said to Bulma in a half-joking tone, to lighten her mood, since little by little she was getting a bit depressed.
“Hmph” Bulma snorted, which was half a laugh and half a grunt of annoyance.
“That old geezer actually had the nerve to refuse when I told him you’d bring me the potion… Can you believe the nonsense he told me? ‘Don’t worry my daughter, I have lived long enough’. ” Bulma told me while imitating her father’s voice.
A few seconds later, he looked both ways, as if making sure no one was paying attention to him. And he leaned close to my ear and whispered to me.
“I actually had to tell him that Vegeta and I are planning to have another child, so I begged him to live to see his new granddaughter born… And although it worked, now I have to see how I trick Vegeta into giving me another ‘bun ‘in the’ oven ‘… Since let’s say that Trunks wasn’t something we planned, and since then Vegeta hasn’t shown interest in having any more children… “Bulma whispered in my ear.
Wow… I
had heard of couples having children to patch up their marriages, but I have never heard of a couple having a child to make ‘grandpa’ live longer.
And poor Vegeta not even know that his ‘wife’ is scheming against…
…
After several hours of partying and fun, suddenly on the edge of my senses, I feel two auras powerful…
‘Divine Ki…’ I thought to myself, while cursing fate for manipulating things so that my original self is not in this universe right now.
Quickly, I increase the synchronization of my soul with the original, to send an SOS
…
‘Shit!’
Not an hour after I felt the divine Ki, I can already feel Beerus and Whis traveling here with their… Fast travel? Technically it is not teleportation, as they are actually only traveling very fast through the universe and realities.
I estimate that they will arrive in a few minutes… Shit! Where the original is when it is needed.
I mentally complained as I continued to send SOS through my soul.
…
I have mixed feelings right now…
As I watch Vegeta humiliate himself on stage, on the one hand I have a sense of amus.e.m.e.nt seeing the normally stoic and stubborn Vegeta, clowning around like this…
And if it were in any other situation, like for example if he got drunk and started clowning, I would find it so funny that I might even join him in fooling around on stage.
But clearly this is not the case, as what little fun the sight provides me is quickly overwhelmed by mounting anger, seeing my friend humiliating himself out of fear that the lazy cat bastard…
Yes, as Over the years, Vegeta and I have established a friendship… We don’t meet in the evenings for drinks and a chat, but still, we are friends.
The worst thing is that this new anger that is arising in me, is being fed by my previous feeling of anger and resentment towards this same cat…
I have not forgotten yet, that that bastard of a cat killed me in the alternate future of Trunks, and what’s even worse… It prevented me from avenging the deaths of my friends and saving Trunks and Gohan from a life full of fear and suffering… And every time I think about it, I feel like I’m going to lose my mind in anger.
Being Bulma my best friend, I see Trunks as my nephew… The same for Gohan, they are family… And to think that because of the irrational whims of this damn bastard my family suffered for years…
“* PLAF! *”
Eh ?
Oh, shit.
Between the Vegeta show and my own resentment, I’ve lost track of what was going on around me and haven’t stopped the scene of Bulma slapping Beerus from happening.
Shit, shit, shit!
The damn smile of that damn cat makes my blood boil…
But I have to concentrate, that damn bastard has already raised his disgusting hand.
I am not strong enough to physically stop him, and although I would like to use my mastery of space to expand the space between the two of them by a few kilometers, the aura around Beerus is too strong for me to manipulate the surrounding space, and it’s a shame that Bulma is within range of his aura.
Shit, I’m running out of time… The only thing I can use is… My soul, since it is my strongest attribute, since as a clone, my physical power and my Ki are deficient compared to my soul.
But I’m not sure if it works…
But there is no time.
“Stop!” “STOP”
Both Vegeta’s desperate cry and my ‘order’ rang out at the same time.
Yes, I have used my face to ‘order’ him to stop, since the power of my soul is not something to underestimate, also… This is my planet, my domain.
Aside from my grimoire world, the power of my semblance is the strongest on this planet.
To the surprise of almost everyone present, all those who are strong enough are able to feel like space, air, molecules… Everything around Beerus solidified, preventing him from moving.
Seeing the look of surprise on that damn cat’s face almost made him laugh out loud.
But the bit of joy that was starting to build up inside me quickly vanished when I saw the scowl on his face.
Clearly, Beerus is beginning to exert greater force, as veins are beginning to appear from his raised arm.
And with just his physical strength, cracks and ripples have already started to appear all over the ‘sealed’ area.
!!!
My heart literally stopped when a purple aura enveloped his arm and broke the surrounding seal.
But that is not what has caused me panic, but the fact that that arm covered with what I suppose is his ‘Hakai’, followed its old trajectory…
Which meant that clearly that arm capable of ‘destroying’ almost anything, it will collide with Bulma, who for some strange reason has not thought of removing her from the danger zone.
If only the fact that Beerus wanted to give Bulma a ‘simple’ slap made my blood boil.
Seeing Beerus’s arm snap Bulma in half made her only see red and start to lose her sanity.
Just when he was going to lose the last thread of rationality and recklessly charge and fight to the death (of this clone), Bulma’s ‘remains’ erupted into lightning bolts.
In what I suppose was an instinctive act, the lightning bolts flew into the sky and then quickly fell to Vegeta’s side, where the lightning bolts compressed together to form Bulma’s body again.
Poor Bulma was in such shock that she fell on her a.s.s as soon as she reformed and instinctively clung to Vegeta… who was hyperventilating, since it seemed that he was in a similar or surely worse state than mine. Since his eyes were bloodshot. But little by little Vegeta returned Bulma’s hug while making a great effort to calm himself down.
Me on the other hand…
I’m about to go crazy.
Since on the one hand I’m happy and glad that Bulma is okay (physically).
But on the other hand, I feel incredibly guilty of the fact that it was my intervention, which has put Bulma’s life in danger… Since if I had not intervened, Bulma would have been slapped to the fullest.
As I tried to regain my sanity, Beerus inspected his arm as he wiggled it around him, as if to verify that he had actually broken the ‘seal’.
After Beerus seemed to lose interest in his own arm, he turned his attention to me, which managed to seal him momentarily.
Since although he would never admit it, Beerus found it incredible that a mortal (It must be remembered that the clone has not cultivated divinity.) Was able to immobilize him with just words, he was even forced to use his Hakai… Although in reality he only wanted to see how his Hakai would react to whatever it was that was sealing it, since if he had exerted force with it for a little longer, the seal would have crumbled as it has been doing since he began to apply force to his arm.
“Um… You are interesting, mortal. Although daring to order this deity… Hmm… How should I punish you? ” Beerus commented, with a mocking expression.
And so, just as I was about to regain my sanity, Beerus’s words and expression made my sanity finish breaking.
“YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G LAZY CAT! WHO THE F.U.C.K DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DAMN INCOMPETENT CAT ?! ” I yelled at the god of destruction in the face.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone fell silent…
“Oh… I think this is going to get out of control… I’d better finish this succulent dessert before this planet is erased.” Whis commented to himself as he slightly sped up the speed with which they ate the desserts from Bulma’s birthday party.
