Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After joining up with the Rak'kari forces, Karn and their champion led the charge side-by-side against the Abyssal creatures. Fighting several dark monstrosities, and Caulifla joining Karn after he refilled his suit's air, the Abyss then sent a force of several hundred thousand of the frog-like Hydae at them. Karn and Caulifla stood against the horde, drawing them into an ambush by the Rak'kari. The battle ground on, Karn, Caulifla, and the Rak'kari slaughtering the Hydae before killing a hundred Mindslayers. But then a single Hydae rose, unleashing Abyssal magic to create a massive monstrosity. Karn is then grabbed by the beast, and somehow transported deep into a dark void. Falling through it, he then sensed something far below. And as we rejoin Karn, you have reached the rocky bottom of the darkness you'd been transported into, and found what lives there.

“What the-?” you start, jaw dropping a bit as your emerald aura's glow illuminates the tiny source of ki you'd sensed. But you immediately realize that your senses simply can't grasp this....THING you find yourself gazing upon. It looks like an odd spider of sorts, with a bulbous head quite similar to the head your daughter wore to swim through the seas uninhibited. It even has similar tentacles, but these drop forth from the lower side of its head like an abnormal beard, each one suddenly twitching in the light you created.

The monster seemingly gazes upon you, but you're not sure it can physically see since it doesn't have eyes. But you can definitely FEEL the intensity from this otherworldly abomination's notice, and have the feeling that this might actually be something beyond your capability to handle.

But what do you do?
>Remain still and ready, then focus on dodging any attacks this monster tries
>Remake your Energy Body, then rush and attack head on
>Reform your Energy Body then brace yourself for whatever it tries
>Summon Divine Dragon Force and charge, no matter how bizarre it is your Stand should still be able to kill it. Right?

>Summon Divine Dragon Force and use its ultimate ability, Wish, to teleport you out of here and back to your own world

>>5316629
Beerus' job is to destroy any planets or entities deemed worthy such treatment.
I'm going to assume it's in an effort to maintain or raise the average powerlevel of the Universe.
He's definitely not in charge of the natural cycle of Light and Dark though, nor does he seem to have a dog in that race.

“Only one shot.” you think to yourself, then try reaching out with your telepathy to the only being you know who could possibly be down here. “AKU! If you can hear me, I really need your help!”

But there is no reply. You don't sense anything form him, indeed you can't sense his alien mind. You don't sense anyone, not even the titanic beast standing on its many limbs before you. If it weren't for its giant body, and the minuscule ki you can sense from it, you would think you were completely alone.

“Aku, I'm somewhere in YOUR Abyss!” you shout out telepathically. “If you don't get down here and help me, I swear when I see you again, I'll-!”

N̷̪̎̚O̶͚͑̕

You're interrupted by a sudden roar through your mind, similar to the psychic attacks of the Mindslayers but more than ten times as powerful. The mental blast actually knocks you off of your feet, sending you sliding on your back for a few feet before you roll backwards onto your feet, sliding to a stop.

“What the hell?” you mutter, clutching your head and staggering a step to your left as the mental attack destroyed your equilibrium. After a moment you regain your balance, shaking your head and returning your gaze to the being most likely responsible for this.

N̶͕͚̆O̶̯̬̽͆ ̸͈̒̈́M̶̨̈́̏Ȍ̴̝R̷̜̈́͘E̴̫͆ ̵͚̫̂͗T̷̘̦̎A̶̰̼͝L̶̨͇̊͝K̸̯̊͝

The creature blasts this thought directly into your mind, once again sending you backwards. But this time you were more prepared, keeping your feet beneath you as the psychic blast sends you sliding even further back. But as it does, this time you manage to notice something. Having been looking at the beast's head when it did this, you saw something bizarre: hundreds of orange eyes burst out from the being's oddly-shaped head, sprouting out from the crimson 'insides' of its head on all sides as it blasts you. Then as the 'thought' ends they all immediately retreat back inside that thing's head, you dropping down to all fours as your balance is destroyed once more.

“Haaah, haaaah haaah.” you pant, then to your surprise hear the sound of a liquid splashing by your head. Opening your eyes, you see a few drops of crimson, and reaching up with your right hand feel blood on that side of your face. Looking down at the ground see blood dripping from both sides, and with a quick pat confirm both of your ears are bleeding. Looks like this monster's psychic attack is far more dangerous than even a hundred Mindslayers.

But what do you do now?

“No choice then. Divine Dragon Force!” you say, summoning your Stand. The crimson-scaled dragon appears wrapped around your right arm, and immediately the massive creature moves. It surges forward, sweeping down at you with two of its right arms. Each hand swings directly at you, forcing you to jump directly over the first, then twist counterclockwise while backing up from the second, and avoid both giant hands. The second one smashes down onto the rocky ground, shattering the stone.

“GRRRROOOOOAAAAAAR!!” Divine Dragon Force bellows, roaring in challenge to the massive creature. As your Stand bellows, the massive creature raises up and swings down with all three left arms, palms-first. You dash towards the monster, flying under its giant hands and down between its legs, sliding to a stop on the rocky ground behind it.
“Its time. I have a wish.” you say to your Stand, who turns immediately towards you and nods once. “I wish to be out of this place, back to New Salda near Caulifla!”

“Very well.” your Stand says, eyes flashing with golden light. The light continues expanding from your Stand's eyes, the giant creature shrinking away from the blinding golden light as it rapidly expands out from Divine Dragon Force. The light consumes both of you, and as it does you lose all of your senses in rapid order. First goes sight, then touch, then hearing, and you're left drifting in a timeless blindingly-bright void. The brightness lasts for some amount of time, you're not sure quite how much, but as it ends your vision quickly returns. And as your other senses return in rapid order, you turn your gaze down to your Stand, who's already disintegrating. “It is done. Farewell, Karn.”

“Thank you.” you say, your Stand giving you a small smile just before it fully disappears. You clench your right fist, then immediately feel energy surging into you.
“THERE YOU ARE, MY CHAMPION.” booms New Salda's voice in your mind, the planet once more connecting its energy to you. Your body surges with might and awareness, turning immediately towards your daughter's blazing energy.
“Thanks.” you reply, turning your attention to your daughter as her body is emitting tremendous heat. You see her blazing as if she is fire itself, water vaporizing around her as she charges towards several abominations. You watch as she simply charges straight through the head of a giant creature similar to the one that had banished you, her flames burning through it despite being underwater. The giant monster doesn't even scream, disintegrating completely in only a few seconds as its distorted energy rapidly vanishes. But you see it isn't the only monster here now.

Thanks to @Frosty_Arts_ for this fantastic piece! [/spoiler}
>>5316805
“RRRAAAAAAA!!” she roars, drawing her right arm back and unleashing a stream of fire from her hand so intense that you can't even look directly at it. But with New Salda's enhanced awareness, you can sense the destruction she unleashes. Sweeping her hand, her beam curves, cutting through hundreds of Hydae in-between the giant monstrosities. Her fire, burning so hot the water around it vaporizes, incinerates everything it touches and kills the monsters she strikes almost instantly. But they're the lucky ones. Her heat is so intense that even those only near her attack are burned, often severely and even sometimes fatally as she destroys more and more monsters. “DIE! DIE DIE DIE!!”

“Heh, not bad kiddo.” you say, and start looking around the corpses of the Mindslayers. It takes you a couple dozen seconds, but then you see the blade protruding from one's head. “Ah, there we go.”

You dash down, opening the deceased monster's mouth then draw your weapon back out of it. The Abyssal monster's blood doesn't even stick to the blade, you looking it over before reaching out telepathically towards the Rak'kari champion.

“What happened after I was taken?” you ask, and immediately sense the Rak'kari's strongest warrior's surprise.
“You-You've returned?” he asks, shocked. “How? I could sense your disappearance from this realm.”
“I'm back now, sorry it took so long.” you reply, glancing towards Caulifla as you sense her ending another two giant monstrosities. “Did I miss anything?”
“No, except for your spawn's rage.” he replies. “Once you vanished, she went mad and burst into flames. Her heat was so intense, it burned three of my men as well before she destroyed that monster that removed you.”

But then, you sense something else: your daughter's power suddenly plummets! You turn towards her, and see the flames around her are burning out! You watch as her body suddenly sags, the flames going out completely and revealing your daughter's naked form. She's suddenly bare of everything except for her necklace with the small pendant, it still glowing with faint purple light as her Stand caws out, folding itself into its small ball form.

“Cauli!” you say, immediately dashing over to her while raising your right hand to your forehead. Focusing your ki sense on B7's energy as you reach her, laying your left hand on her back, you take her with you via Instant Transmission. One second you both are in the ocean, and the next are kneeling in the sand, your daughter's unconscious form laying flat on her stomach. “B7! Take her to Dr. White immediately, and make sure she's okay!”

>>5316807
“Yes sir!” he replies, dashing over as Head Scientist Daiko looks over at you worriedly.
“What about you?” he asks, clearly concerned.
“I'm ending this.” you reply, refocusing on the Rak'kari champion's ki and teleporting back into the sea. You reappear beside the glowing crab-like man, who's people are all digging themselves up and out of the sand as the last of the Hydae flee the sight of the battlefield. “You ready?”

“Let us end this.” he replies, nodding once to you. You return the gesture, then turn back towards the Abyss. But as you do, you notice something gleaming in the sand. You swim over to it, and see the shaft of Caulifla's golden spear sticking out of what looks like glass, the weapon glowing cherry red as vaporized water bubbles around it. No doubt she'd been holding the weapon when she first transformed. You swim over to it, feeling the heat radiating off of the weapon as the entire ocean struggles to cool it down.

You reach out with your left hand towards her weapon, and with a thought grasp the weapon in your telekinetic grip. Mirroring your mental 'hand' with your left, you tear the weapon free of the scarred ground with a mighty crack. Swinging it back and forth through the water once, vaporizing a bit of water as the embedded weapon begins cooling even faster, the Rak'kari's champion suddenly thinks to you.

"Are you sure you will be taking that?" he asks, a note of worry in his mind. No doubt fearing that you'll transform into living flames as well.
“Of course, not leaving it here for my daughter to try and find whenever she wakes up.” you reply, keeping the weapon far out ahead of you as you start moving forward. “Now let's go, we've been stalled here for too long as it is.”
“Right.” the champion replies, matching your pace as his soldiers follow behind at a safe distance. While the two of you lead the charge, you focus on your expanded ki sense and try and get a feel for what other sorts of traps lay in wait between you and the Abyss. But, to your surprise, you feel nothing.

“Is this right?” you ask New Salda itself, as you sense nothing living between your army of Rak'kari and the Abyssal Trench itself. “Is there nothing there?”
“I CANNOT SENSE ANY LIFE TOO NEAR THAT PLACE.” comes the planetary avatar's response booming in your mind loud enough to make you wince. Especially after what you went through down below. “AS YOU APPROACH, OUR CONNECTION WILL FADE AS WELL.”
“Hopefully I'll be able to put an end to this, and either seal this up or destroy it.” you reply, and continue traveling. The rest of the journey is quiet, almost peaceful, but as you approach closer and closer to the Abyss, the staggering void in your New Salda-enhanced senses seemingly expanding.
“GOOD LUCK, MY CHAMPION.” New Salda suddenly says, and you feel your connection to the planet begin fading. “I CANNOT CONTINUE ON. YOU MUST GO, FIGHT, AND WIN.”

And with that your connection fully ends, and you find yourself standing on the edge of the Abyss. The difference in the sea floor is astonishing, as the sandy ocean floor suddenly just stops. And in its place is a hole, almost like a very wide slash in the ground itself where no light shines. The darkness almost seems to be radiating up and out of this void, you looking down into that nothing. And as you do, something in you changes.

Staring into the void, remembering back to that creature you'd fled before, you feel your body beginning to react strangely. Your hands tremble a bit, and as you stop to take account of yourself feel your heartbeat is greatly heightened, and your stomach begins to feel queasy as well. You take several short, shallow breaths as the air in your tank suddenly feels not nearly enough to take a full breath, and dropping both weapons sink down to your knees. What happened, did something poison you? Did that teleport also do something to your body? Did something poison your air? Are you dying?

CRACK

“Ah-! What the hell?!” you snarl, both hands going to your head as you turn, seeing the glowing body of the Rak'kari champion standing behind you. And from his stance, he's clearly the one who'd struck the back of your head. Immediately you're furious, but before you can do anything he reaches out telepathically.
“I know that look.” the creature tells you, and to your surprise actually settles down into the sand beside you, looking down into the darkness. “That is the look of a man overcome by fear.”
“I am not-!” you start, the Rak'kari holding up a scarred claw and you immediately stop, and take a moment to reflect. Are you afraid? And then you see it again in your mind's eye, the being that radiated with just unnatural wrongness. As you do, you feel your heart immediately skip a beat, skin going cold as you remember how badly you wanted to get away from that thing. You even used your Stand's Wish, something that completely uses up your Stand for who knows how long, just to get away from it. Yet here you are, about to go back down into that Abyss and confront it once more.

“It is okay to be afraid.” the champion says, looking down into the void. As you glance over to him, you see his claw is slightly trembling as well, and suddenly remember this isn't his first time facing this Abyss either. “But we cannot allow that to stop us. Our people need us to be strong, surface dweller. Can you do this?”

And while normally that wouldn't even be a question, today you hesitate and really think it through before answering. Can you do this? Can you really go back down there, and confront that abomination once again? Should you? Or is there another way?

Well?

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready." you reply, grabbing your sword in your right hand while taking back up the spear with your telekinetic grip in your left hand. Rising back up to your feet, you take a deep breath, sighing out before glancing to the Rak'kari champion. “Let's do this.”

The champion nods, ending the mental link as he turns to his men. You glance over, watching as he then raises both his arms, claws clacking, and his army mirrors him. You thrust your sword directly into the air over you to join in, and seeing you the clacking and clicking from his army doubles. This goes on for several moments before the Rak'kari champion turns towards the darkness as his own azure glow's brightness doubles, you turning with him and facing the darkness. Then the two of you leap, diving down directly into the darkness.

“HAAAA!!” you roar, raising your powerlevel to its highest and illuminating the Abyss around you both. As you and the Rak'kari champion dive deeper, his army following close, your blue and green lights leading the way for his people. As you dive deeper and deeper into the oppressive Dark, you focus your ki sense and try to sense anything before it can lunge from the shadows and attack. But aside from yourself and the Rak'kari, you can't sense anything else. Deeper and deeper you all dive, when suddenly your instincts scream at you in warning. “HRRAAAAA!!”

Unsure where the attack is coming from, you simply roar and unleash your ki out from you in all sides in a powerful Explosive Wave. Your energy surges forward, slamming into something directly to your back. So you spin around as your explosion ends, for a single instant you see what looks like a familiar giant hand. But then it's gone again, the Rak'kari champion turning to look at you.

“What was that?” he asks, you turning towards him.
“It's here.” you reply, the champion ending the telepathic link and immediately turning to his forces. They quickly form a cube-like formation, claws pointing out in all directions, then as one they fire.

Hundreds of magical orbs the size of your fists shoot out from the formation in all directions, illuminating the darkness. And as they do, showing you what was hidden from view, you almost wish they hadn't. Because you're surrounded. Two Abyssals similar to the one you'd encountered before are on opposite sides of you all, and as the light illuminates them, they attack.

Wordlessly the Abyssals swing several of their giant hands, palms-first at the Rak'kari formation and then they swing a faintly glowing palm each at you and the Rak'kari champion as well.

“HAAAA!!” you roar, as without thought you thrust your ancient Wolf Knight sword directly at the giant palm. It stabs directly into the gaunt hand, blood spraying as the hand immediately recoils. Then the beast unleashes its psychic attack with a cry of pain, and everything goes dark. All of your senses are consumed by the darkness, leaving you with only a vague sense of slowly falling. Everything hurts, and you aren't sure how long you drift before you snap back, fully awake and ready to continue the fight. Your weapon is still clenched tightly in your right hand, while Caulifla's spear is lost somewhere in the darkness. But then you try reaching out with your ki sense, and immediately can feel the battle raging above. Or, rather, the massacre.

Over half of the surviving Rak'kari who'd entered the Abyss have all been slain, crushed by the hands of the giant monsters. But their champion continues fighting, nimbly dodging their giant hands and firing his own azure magic shots directly into the creatures' bulbous heads. Each time his blows strike the creatures flinch, but they keep up the attack, swinging their giant hands and crushing the crab-like creatures. They can't hold out, at this rate they'll all be killed!

What do you do?

"I won't let them fall!" you think to yourself, drawing the ancient sword overhead into your Djem So fighting stance. As you draw the blade up, channeling ki into the ancient armament, once more it begins radiating with azure light. “DIE!”

As you roar, you swing the blade down in a traditional overhead swing, firing an azure blade of light up from the weapon. The wide blade slashes up through the darkness, carving a path up into the outstretched arms of the Abyssal creature on your left. The creature doesn't notice your attack coming, swinging three of its arms directly at the Rak'kari forces just in time for your blade to slice up into them. Your attack cuts through all three limbs with ease, the creature's dark blood spraying everywhere as you take off almost half of its arms at once. The creature screams in shocked pain, eyes exploding out of its head as the entire creature's body twitches and spasms unnaturally.

But you're not done with a single swing, focusing your ki into the blade again and swinging it into a reverse upwards swing. Your second slash cuts through the abyss towards the one on your right, which is currently swinging four of its arms forward. Once more your blade slashes up through the darkness, and again cuts through the being's arms without resistance. Again Abyssal blood sprays out into the water, the monster's eyes bulging out from its head as it screams. The creature's warbling cry echoes out into the darkness, and you reverse your grip once more into your opening Djem So stance. But then the first one you slashed turns its head towards you, dozens if not hundreds of eyes all glaring at you. Again your instincts scream at you in warning, and as you dash directly to your right, the monster's head fires a beam of deep purple directly at where you'd been just a moment earlier.

“SHIT!” you exclaim, dashing up then to your left over the beam as the Abyssal monster follows your path with the beam. But as it does, the beam leaves behind what appear to be faint clouds of deep purple energy. And as it keeps following you with the beam from only a split-second behind. Then the clouds of purple energy begin exploding, forcing you to retreat further and further away to avoid being caught in the blasts. “Dammit. Take this!”

“HAAAAA!!” you roar, once more unleashing a powerful magical slash from the ancient blade. Your blade of energy crashes into the beam right by the monster's head, detonating both in a tremendous blast that staggers the massive creature. With this one stunned, you draw your weapon back once more, prepared to execute it, but then your instincts once more warn you of immediate danger. You turn, energy-charged blade forward, and block another beam of dark purple fired from the second Abyssal. But as you do, the strangest thing happens: your sword's azure energy cloaking the blade begins converting the purple energy, your sword glowing brighter and brighter with stored power.

“Woah!” you shout in suprise as your sword keeps absorbing more and more power, then your eyes widen as the sword begins vibrating in your hand due to the sheer amount of power it's absorbed as the beast's attack ends. If you don't unleash it, and soon, well.... You aren't entirely sure what will happen, but sincerely doubt it will be anything good.

"I'll end this in one shot!" you think to yourself, immediately dashing towards your left. With the still-recovering Abyssal on that side, you decide it'll make the best first target for how you'll handle these monsters. The blade trembles in your hands, the ancient weapon straining to contain the power it absorbed. Drawing the weapon up over your right shoulder, perpendicular to your body, you line up the two Abyssal's heads in your sights. “NOW!”

And thrusting your sword forward, you unleash everything stored in your weapon all at once. The energy explodes forth from the blade, faster and far more powerful than anything you've unleashed from the weapon to date. A beam of azure energy that could rival your own Final Flash fires forth from the weapon, consuming the first Abyssal's ENTIRE head at once. The second one has almost a split-second to react, its head twitching and avoids being entirely erased. But that's no consolation, as only a small sliver of the right side of its head remains. The entire rest of its head, along with the neck and a bit of the being's torso are also obliterated.

What is fired from the front of the sword, however, is only half the story. As you unleash that attack, the recoil immediately slams into you, nearly tearing the weapon right out of your grip. If you hadn't been in your Ascended Berserker form, and if the weapon didn't have such a wide cross guard, it would have been blasted out of your hands directly backwards. But since you'd kept your grip on it, instead you are sent flying back with the weapon. Only for a couple seconds, as you suddenly crash back-first into the rocky wall of the Abyssal Trench.

“Guh!” you wheeze, the impact knocking all the air out of your lungs as you're embedded into the wall itself. You can't breathe, but don't immediately worry about it. Instead, you keep your eyes focused on the monsters' bodies, watching them to make sure they aren't still alive. You watch and see their bodies actually beginning to break down. They dissolve into the darkness, bodies fading away and revealing the aftermath of their surprise assault. Over half of the Rak'kari are no longer alive, their ki having been snuffed out by the Abyssal creatures' sneak attack. But the rest are still alive and rallying around their leader who's taking stock of his people. You pry yourself out from the stone wall, tearing your ancient sword free then taking a deep breath, and mutter to yourself at how pointless their deaths were as you swim over to the Rak'kari champion.

“Are you all ready to keep going?” you ask, telepathically reaching out to the Rak'kari champion. Who turns to face you, and despite the difference in anatomy, you can feel that he's clearly upset with the results of the battle so far. “Or are you going to be sending your people back out of here?”
“We will keep going.” he replies, you sensing his rage at what these Abyssals have done. “We cannot back down, our people will never be safe until this Abyss is stopped. No matter what. If we all die here, but succeed, then our sacrifices will have been worth it.”

You both share a moment of silent understanding, then sharing a single nod both orient yourself downwards. You take point, again channeling your ki into the weapon so its azure glow lights your way. You hold the weapon out point-first, aiming it at the heart of this darkness as you continue traveling deeper and deeper into the Dark. The blade's azure light leads the way, deeper and deeper into the darkness. Until suddenly the Dark around you changes. Suddenly you're no longer in water, and feel yourself falling through what feels like air. Then your sense of gravity changes, reversing, and you feel like your feet are now pointing down at the ground. Holding yourself in the air with your flight, you take a moment and start looking around.

You find yourself into what looks to be a cave, puddles of water scattered around the wide area, stalagmites rising from the ground in various places that your sword's glow illuminates. As you look around and see nothing, you decide to expand your ki sense to find the remaining Rak'kari. But to your shock, you can't sense any of them nearby! Immediately you expand your range out to its maximum, you then sense more than a hundred of the crab-like soldiers all scattered about you at various distances, and even more surprisingly elevations. You can feel them, some remaining where they'd appeared while others start moving, and realize that you need to get moving as well. You can no doubt sense more of the Rak'kari than they can, and with your Instant Transmission you can gather them all together again far faster than if they're wandering aimlessly through the dark. But then you feel the situation worsen, as two of the Rak'kari's ki suddenly plummet. Their energy levels drop, no doubt attacked by the beings that live in this dark place.

“Dammit.” you snarl, raising your right hand to your forehead and prepare to teleport to the nearest soldier. But as you shift your light, suddenly six or seven arms explode up out of the different puddles, all reaching for you simultaneously. But unfortunately for this monster, after sensing what was happening to the Rak'kari, you are ready to show this abomination no pity.

And that's it for tonight, ready for the grand finale? Ready to witness your crit against this would-be sneak attacker, and bring your wrath down on the denizens of the Abyss? All this and more when Saiyan Conqueror Quest resumes, in only 12 hours!

>>5317451
I'm ready to put an end to things here, but I think we're gonna have a more pressing issue.
Aku can sense the sword while it's in this Abyssal pocket, can't he?
I hope he doesn't take this as a declaration of war.

the abyss is a fucked up place, huh?
>the sword beam double headshot wasn't even the crit
nice, let's fucking go
anyways, the rak'kari have really grown on me, they've got guts

>>5317464
Yeah. I want to formally introduce them to Frieza once this is over.
They deserve recognition for laying down their lives in defense of New Salda, and by extension, Frieza's empire.

>>5317462

>>5317466
It could be done. But would they even care about that?

>>5317491
>It could be done. But would they even care about that?
If their leadership is smart, then they would.
I'm sure once we explain the concept of space and just who Frieza is, they'll understand exactly where they stand.
All that aside, it'd be a good way to solidify their comradery with the surface dwellers.
That works out well for everybody involved.

>>5317448
>the crit is happening to a sneak attack
Of fucking course it is, because once again, you simply cannot sneak attack karn, its a cardinal rule in this quest, many have tried, many have failed.

>>5317581
That explains it. Dumbass darkness fucked around with the guy who could sense Zeno Zoldyck and found out the hard way.

>>5317513

But again, would they care? All they care about is their domain, not what the surface dwellers do. As long as their ocean remians sovereign.

>>5317859
Yes. I almost felt bad for the Abyssal when I saw that roll.

>>5317933
The galaxy shall never know the day that General Karn of the PTO was successfully ambushed by an assassin. That's the kind of secret we take to the grave.

>>5317963
Based Orlen.
Not only does he make sure our daughter doesn't go into a fight blind, he also erases one of the few blemishes on our reputation.
I wanna train him up so he can actually survive New Salda's gravity and partake in the festivities we usually have.

“Heh. Nice try!” you shout, bringing your left hand up to your sword as well and grabbing onto the weapon and quickly channeling even more ki into the blade. As the arms reach towards you you spin, unleashing everything in the blade with a shout. “HRRAAAA!!”

Your sword unleashes its power, cutting blade of magical energy forming a full circle as you spin. Almost simultaneously all seven arms are severed, spraying fountains of blood from the Abyssal somehow hiding in the ground beneath you. It screams a warbling, pained cry as its limbs start retreating into the water, but you're not done with that monster. Not yet.

“Oh no you don't!” you roar, drawing your weapon overhead into your Djem So stance as you channel more ki into the blade, then swing it directly down. Your blade unleashes another massive azure cutting edge of magic, it cutting straight through the stone ground and slashing into the monster beneath. It screams out once more, the cry quickly losing strength as it sinks down into the depths below you. And despite not seeing the results of your attack, you doubt that one will be bothering anyone ever again. Now, where were you again? “Right, rallying the Rak'kari.”

Shifting your sword to your left hand, you bring your right up to your forehead and once again focus on your ki sense. To your surprise, three of your crab-like allies have grouped up, and another few have also vanished completely. No doubt killed by the monsters lurking in this place. Each of the soldiers are easy pickings, as divided as they are. But, should you regroup them? If they're all spread out, and distracting most of the 'lesser' Abyssals, you could probably get a lot more exploration done without being accosted by everything down here. But can you just leave them to die like that?

Well? Which path will you take?

>>Focus on regrouping the Rak'kari first and foremost, then once you've gathered them back together you can proceed

Their champ might be fine with them dying if that's what it takes, and Bane might call us foolish for letting an opportunity like this slip by, but I can't vote for leaving them to die. The abyss also just doesn't seem like something to face alone, judging from how their champ was able to snap us out of the fear we were hit with earlier.

“No, I can't do that.” you mutter, shaking your head. “I won't leave them to die down here.”
“You're making a mistake.” Bane's voice echoes in your mind, the phantom appearing beside you standing atop one of the severed hands. “Now is your moment to strike deep at the heart of this place.”
“Maybe.” you reply, closing your eyes as you raise your right hand to your forehead again. “But they were willing to follow me down here, I won't just abandon them.”
“Foolish.” he replies, crossing his arms as you focus your ki on the nearest Rak'kari's ki signature. “This decision will get you killed, and the Dark will continue to spread until it consumes your entire world.”

“Then that's a risk I'll just have to take.” you reply, and with a thought activate your Instant Transmission. You teleport directly over to the crab-like warrior, who starts as you appear and draws his claw back to strike. But recognizing you he lowers his arm, and you switch your blade to your right hand before reaching out and grabbing his wrist with your left.
“Hold on.” you think to him, and bringing your right hand to your forehead again teleport to the next-nearest Rak'kari. Who starts almost identically to the first as you both appear, the one you'd brought along looking around confused. “Hold on to me, and I'll gather everyone together.”

Then you teleport again, and again and again. Over and over you use your Instant Transmission, gathering ;more than two dozen of the Rak'kari together in less than a minute. And then you sense him, the Champion. Immediately you teleport to him, bringing his forces along with you to appear before him.

“Surface dweller?” he exclaims telepathically, shocked by the sudden appearance of so many of you. “You've been gathering my people?”
“Yes. Hang on, we're going to keep going.” you reply, and as he grabs onto one of his soldiers you once again teleport. But as you keep going, gathering more and more scattered Rak'kari, you sense their numbers continuing to dwindle. For each three you save, two more perish. But there's nothing more you can do, as you can only teleport from individual Rak'kari to individual Rak'kari while the denizens of the Dark can ambush as many as they can. “Dammit. They're all dying down here faster than we can gather them.”

“Go to the ones being attacked.” the Rak'kari champion says seriously. “We can fight, if we're together.”
“But we can't.” you reply, shaking your head. “Whatever is killing them, it is doing it instantly. And, unfortunately, I can only teleport to someone who's still alive. Once they're dead, I can't teleport to them.”

“Damn.” he replies, ending the mental link to no-doubt speak with his people. And you keep teleporting from soldier to soldier, slowly gathering more and more of the Rak'kari warriors. But as your army swells to over a hundred, the attacks on the rest of the crab-like warriors begin increasing. The numbers quickly begin changing, for every one you save, three more perish. You do everything you can to move faster and faster, but the forces of the Abyss continue destroying the scattered Rak'kari. The space between each of the remaining Rak'kari doubles, then doubles again as more and more disappear. But as you keep teleporting, you realize that the Abyss is leading you somewhere. The remaining Rak'kari are being erased from the sides first, drawing you down a path down further and further into the Abyss towards, well.... something.

You're being lured. But what can you do about that?

“We've got a problem. They're leading us somewhere.” you think to the Rak'kari champion, your worry no doubt bleeding through the mental link as you tell him your worry. “They're wiping out your forces to the sides first, only leaving a path of your people leading us down deeper into the Abyss.”
“Then let's keep going.” he replies without hesitation. “No matter what, we should save as many of my people as we can before facing the master of this place.”

“Very well, let's do it.” you reply, nodding once to him then refocusing on your ki sense. You keep up the effort, teleporting from Rak'kari to Rak'kari and following the path the Abyssal creatures have laid out for you. As you go down the 'path' laid out before you all, gathering one Rak'kari for every three to four they kill. You all go deeper and deeper into the dark cavern, barely illuminated by your sword and the champion's glowing azure light, as well as your own emerald aura. You keep gathering the remains of the Rak'kari force, the numbers of those not claimed by your own group or the Dark quickly dwindling. And as you teleport to the last one, all of you appearing before a clearly-injured warrior laying crumpled on the ground, he panics and fires a magical blast at you all. You raise your Wolf Knight sword out in front of you, it absorbing the magical energy shot.

“This is the last one.” you think to the champion, who steps out from your group and rushes over to his downed warrior. He ends the mental connection as well, no doubt addressing his injured soldier as you look around. This part of the cavern seems different, the stone ground covered spottily in a dark liquid forming a roughly fifty foot circle, with the injured Rak'kari in the center. Darkness surrounds this platform on all sides, you not seeing any walls, or ground, or even a ceiling above you. In this void, you all are completely alone. Or, so you'd thought. As you look around, suddenly you begin seeing.....something out in the dark. You can't quite tell what you see, but there's certainly something moving out there. So you raise your sword overhead, and channel even more ki into it. The blade's azure aura brightens, radiating with even more light and allowing you to see what's beyond in the darkness. And as you see it, you look around, and realize that all of you are completely surrounded.

“Hey, we're surrounded.” you telepathically warn the Rak'kari champion, leaping up off the ground and flying over the crab-like warriors with your sword held overhead in your Djem So fighting stance. The pale eyes staring at you from the darkness all begin moving, drifting towards you all. Well, here's the ambush you were waiting for.

So what will you do about it?
>Unleash your sword's power with wide energy slashes, cutting through as many of the dark spirits as possible with each swing
>Try using your telekinesis to throw the sword out into the mass of dark forms, cutting through them with the energy-charged weapon directly from a distance to conserve energy
>Raise the weapon overhead and channel as much power into it as the weapon can withstand, then unleash that energy out all at once in all directions like an Explosive Wave
>Retreat within the Rak'kari formation, and allow them to take the point on attacking the encroaching darkness with their magical barrage attacks

“Dammit.” snarl, drawing your weapon down to your right side perpendicular to your body while pulling it back to swing. “HAAAAA!”

With a roar you swing, your weapon firing another wide slashing blade of ki. The azure energy slices through the air, carving a path of destruction through the dark, mist-like creatures. Your massive energy blade cuts through hundreds of them, the beings dissolving into sprays of white mist as they perish. You twist around, facing those approaching from behind you, and again you charge up your sword.

“HYAAA!!” you roar, firing another slashing blade of energy. Again you cut down hundreds of the dark creatures, who all dissolve in sprays of pale mist, the Rak'kari beneath you all forming up into their defensive formation.
“Don't move.” the Rak'kari champion thinks to you, then as one all of his soldiers fire. A couple hundred magical energy shots all fire out from their defensive square, the blasts exploding against the shadowy forms of the Dark beings. Each detonation you see consumes at least three of them in their blasts, surprising you with their effectiveness. But you won't let them show you up, again raising your blade overhead while channeling more ki into it then swinging down to unleash another ranged slashing cut.

Over and over you swing your sword, firing wave after slashing wave of energy directly into the approaching Dark beings. You spin slowly in a clockwise circle, firing attack after attack into the swarming horde drifting towards you from all sides. You fire attack after attack, but as the swarm simply keeps pressing forward, unrelentingly pressing forward despite the thousands of casualties they're taking every few seconds. You keep charging the sword with your own ki, it absorbing more and more of your energy as you keep firing. But you can't keep this up forever, your energy isn't limitless. Then, even worse, you try and take another breath. But there's no more air in your tank!

“SHIT!” you exclaim, immediately reaching up and tearing the mask off of your face to take a deep breath. The air down here in the Abyss tastes stale, and damp, but is welcome relief to your air-starved lungs. And as you do, the tide of battle once more changes. This time, at least at first, it is seemingly in your favor.

As you're taking a breath, suddenly a beam of purple energy fires out from somewhere deeper in the Abyss. It consumes the Dark beings in its path, cutting out an area around you all before several fireballs explode in the middle, clearing out a small area allowing a familiar-seeming figure to fly through. The pale, winged humanoid with four arms, two crossed across its chest appears through the gap, lifting up one of its right arms and creating a dark circle of flame above its body. Three fireballs burst out through that fiery circle, each one detonating against the Abyssals on the far side of the platform beneath you, destroying hundreds more of the misty beings.

“I remember you.” you say, the creature ending its fiery portal over its head and slowly flying directly towards you. Looking at it, the being seemingly is staring at you, but as it flies closer, you realize a shocking fact about the angelic-looking creature: under the white hood, the being doesn't actually have a head. It is just a void of darkness; no eyes, mouth, or anything. And suddenly its closed the distance between you, without actually traveling that distance. Almost as if it could teleport, catching you by surprise. The being lays its right hand flat against your chest, and suddenly your instincts scream at you that you're in serious danger. But it's far too late now.

Karn and Meloka perished at the hands of the Arbiter, in that timeline. Which leads to certain Punished characters' origin stories. Every battle you've nearly survived, another version of Karn didn't. And that timeline had to suffer the consequences.

That said, the only reason I didn't go for the third roll was because we got a ton of shit to do at work right before my shift ended.
I feel like I complain about my job getting in the way far too often in these threads, but I also can't just not offer an explanation if I miss a vote or a roll.

It's not even a bad job, it's just that I've never been able to get a weekend off without arranging it more than a month in advance.
Still, I try my best to participate. I even gave gook-moot a couple dollars so I could circumvent the range ban out here.

>>5319256
I remember back when I started writing this quest, phoneposting on my breaks every weekend while at work. Good times. I never thought back then I’d still be running SCQ five years later. I figured either I’d flake, like so many before me, or peoples’ interest would die out and it would just fizzle out.

At least that has a practical use, unlike buying a sub to a woman riding a banana on camera.

Just finished the first post, and half of the second that’ll lead us into next week. And all I have to say is: you’re going to have an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT first choice to make when this episode continues Saturday. In other news, new poll will be up tomorrow for the patrons, if you want to help support buying more quest art commissions. Every cent the patreon makes goes to paying the artists for their work, like this masterpiece.

I was going to say “constantly put into life-or-death scenarios with ever-worsening odds of survival”, but possibly that too. You just have to get the job of Adventurer, and, not to spoil the next to last volume, but you’ll need to find the exploit for breaking that class

>>5321278
by the way, I'm curious. do you have an idea about what wishes Beerus and Champa want to make during the Tournament of Destroyers? Because I don't think Beerus or Champa will know about earth cuisine in this timeline.

Also on a completely separate note what do you guys think of possibly making a pact/alliance with universe 6 during the Tournament of Power. We promise not to fight each other until all the other universes are defeated and whoever is that last one standing wishes that all of the erased universes are unerased.

My personal team would be:
1.) Frieza (leader)
2.) Cooler or King Cold (If he has healed enough or become stronger)
3.) Vegeta
4.) Karn
5.) Meloka
6.) Chilli (magic)
7.) Caulifla (healer)
8.) Broly (the wall)
9.) Guldo (time stop bullshit)
10.) Chaya or Captain Ginyu for body stealing bullshit. Just imagine if he was able to steal Jiren's body. even if it means he would later get erased or have to jump out of bounds at the end (I'm not sure if Jiren's body would count as universe 7s or 11s after the body swap)

there is also the potential option of Zeno Zoldyck although he would be nerfed by the no-kill rule like Hit.

>>5321567
>wishes that all of the erased universes are unerased.
But why would we make that wish? Cauli might but I don't think anyone else from our timeline would.

>>5321601
Frieza can't become emperor multiverse if there is only 1 universe. plus we seem to have generally good relationship with the universe 6 saiyans in all future visions we've got.

I mostly want to see the Boys reaction.

>>5321627
>wishing a bunch of jobber universes full of lame shit back
>instead of wishing for just as many new universes full of cool shit and badasses

>Tournament of Destroyers
Depends entirely on what they eventually argue about. Being as contentious as they are, the brothers will no doubt come to blows over something.
Such an alliance of mutually-assured survival would hinge on two factors: your universe’s perception of the 6th, and how trustworthy(or not) you find Champa.
As for body swap, I’ll say this right out. Unless you can weaken Jiren to the point UI Goku/Golden Freeza/17 did by episode 131, there’s no way it would actually hit him. He can resist a SSBE Final Flash AND a SSB KKx20 Kamehameha simultaneously without even breaking a sweat. Such a beam would never hit him.
>>5321850
Maybe humans will get their own transformation after all, eventually

>>5321567
Are Ubo and Vegeta not in consideration for the team?

>>5322073
Vegeta was number 3
And I forgot about ubo. I would replace either ginyu or chaya (so number 10) with him.

>>5322073
Ubo could go toe-to-toe with Jiren, for a time. But in a realm with only artificial light, he couldn’t fight at full power for long

>>5322160
God damn, the kryptonians really are broken. I can see why King Cold worried about a bugbear like them.

>>5322175
The worry was twofold. Imagine if Babidi found them, and could steal THEIR power to fuel Majin Buu’s awakening

>>5322160
Thankfully we know when the tournament is so he could spend a couple hours next to the sun before we go. The tournament is also relatively short like I think it's like 40 some minutes.

>>5322228
>tfw he just needs to get one and tell them to sit in front of a star for a couple days before coming back for some suck
Yeah, a little broken, kryptonian batteries.

>>5322236
Shove Ubo next to a blue star for half a day

>>5322236
You’ll have a ~48 hour window from the time it is announced, INCLUDING the Zeno expo.
>>5322241
>>5322242
That’s what I mean, Ubo COULD reach the level to fight Jiren for a time. But the more power he exerts, the faster he’d drain himself. And fighting Jiren’s full power is nothing if not exhausting.

>>5322299
Speaking of the tournament, it's disheartening to know we have so many capable fighters that atleast one of them would sit out the ToP. I don't want to break up the Ginyu Force but Guldo and Ginyu's esoteric abilities are powerful, not to mention Burter's speed being a good ace I actually forgot Reccoome and Jeice's gimmicks. Plus there's our children, and while I know Chaya, Chili, and Caulifla would want a shot at the challenge, we can't bring all of them without leaving friends behind too.

But there's absolutely one thing thats set in stone for me, and its to keep the BIIIIITCH as far away from the arena as possible. He can have the honor of being Universe 7's cheerleader.

how fucked would the universe be if buu absorbed king cold?

>>5322416
Guldo and Hit having an entire battle in the opening moments of the tournament would be entertaining, but vastly unsatisfying for the audience until the intermission/epilogue of that episode. Would be a rehash of the reactions I got to the Jotaro/Kars fight, now that I think about it.
In a battle for the fate of everything, only the best will be allowed to compete.
>Cooler
He has a LONG way to go to earn even a chance at a spot.
>>5322448
Buu gaining such a level of intelligence would be extremely dangerous. If Divine Dragon Force is down, he’d probably unstoppable at that time.

Surprising update, I have the day off tomorrow! So be ready for an exceptional intermission where Megumin confronts her inspiration for learning Explosion magic!

>>5322600
Is she ever gonna learn something BESIDES explosion magic?
I'm not even talking about learning other forms of magic, I just think it probably be useful if she learned how to fly.

>>5322609
No. You can fly with explosions, no need for a flight spell.

>>5322609
She’s been learning a bit of the basics of ki manipulation from Chilli, since despite being a wizard class and not even an adult, she’s still the most physically-powerful of the Crimson Demons.
>>5322617
Ha.

>>5322623
Who knows, maybe one day she can have a vacation with Chilli on New Salda without the aid of gravity dampening magic.

>>5322660
She’s getting there. Thanks to the sheer number of Demon King’s army soldiers she’s been able to eliminatewith ease from her home, her level is ever-increasing

>>5323068
So as far as "Levels" Konosuba go, what level is Chilli?
And what about Karn, Meloka, Frieza, and the rest of our main cast?

Having a day off to write is phenominal, already on post 10 of the intermission. And someone is about to have a bad time.

>>5323118
Under 30. He hasn’t had an adventurer card for long, and only got one once he realized it was a necessity for turning in quests. Since an adventurer card works off powerful, ancient magic. As for everyone else, level 1. Whenever they get a card, you’re level one with whatever stats you rolled up with. Which is why someone like Cautious Hero could have five times the highest stats of other Hero candidates, yet still only be level one.

>>5323223
So its less of a power level and more of a prestige level. Interesting mechanics in the Konosuba universe. You could be an overleveled fuck but still need to earn respect like everyone else.

Leveling up does increase stats, up to a certain cap depending on the class. Which is why a neet like Kazuma increased all of his stats rapidly despite not hitting level 30, while Aqua’s stats never improved no matter how much she leveled up. Especially her below-average intelligence

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 177 Intermission-

AGE 750, KINGDOM OF BELZERG'S FORWARD FORTRESS

“For a fortress on the front lines, that outer wall isn't looking too good.” you say critically, studying the familiar-looking blast marks and craters in the fortress's outer wall. “That damage looks rather familiar, doesn't it.”
“It does.” your wife Megumin replies, you holding her in your arms as you fly high over the fortress to examine the battlefield. “That's definitely the damage from Explosion, and more than one. No doubt about it, she's here.”

You are Chilli: greatest archwizard of both the Saiyan race and the greater PTO empire, wielder of Death and Chaos magics, and currently you and your wife are here to turn the tide of battle. A month ago, the Demon King's army had begun assailing the fortress with the power of a Demon King General, one who could reportedly use Explosion magic and is rumored to be a Dark God as well. You still remember back to that meeting, and the intensity of Megumin's crimson eyes as the Dark God's name had been spoken.

“Wolbach? You just said Wolbach, didn't you?!” she'd shouted, rising up to her feet and startling you all. Princess Iris' guards had both readied themselves to fight, you seeing the fear in their faces seeing your wife's eyes glowing crimson, but the Princess hadn't moved except to smile a bit. “Hey, answer me!”
“You DARE address her highness so?!” the swordswoman by the princess's side declares, drawing her weapon that is absolutely brimming with magic power. Megumin's eyes shine even brighter crimson, and you know she won't back down. So it's time for a bit of diplomacy. “I will-!”
“Now now, let's all settle down.” you say, reaching out and grabbing onto your wife's hand holding the staff with your left hand while also reaching out with your right, and grab her hand with telekinesis and jerk it up over her head. “No need for this peaceful meeting to get violent.”

“I was thinking the same thing. Claire, please, put your sword away.” Princess Iris says, the bodyguard immediately blushing at being reprimanded. You release her arm, the woman immediately sheathing her blade. “Now, back to business. I take it you know of Wolbach then?”
“You could say we have a history.” Megumin says, looking down at her hands. “I have to be the one to defeat her.”
“So, you'll help then?” the princess had said, eyes shining bright and hopeful. Which brings you back to the present, the two of you gazing down at the nearly destroyed outer wall.

“Hey hun, look!” your wife says, pointing down outside the fortress's walls. You turn, and see a lone figure approaching the wall. Wearing a wide-brimmed, pointy hat and a cloak to seemingly obscure their form, the figure approaches the fortified castle with little care. Just judging from how they move, and walking so boldly up to the nearly-destroyed wall, this is no doubt the person responsible. As they walk, you see several magical circles begin appearing around their feet, and you get a taste of this mage's power. And to your surprise, it doesn't feel like normal, mortal magic. You then try and sense for any ki from them, but sense absolutely nothing. Which reminds you of someone you'd faced not too long ago, and how you'd nearly killed that arrogant god. And would have, too, if it weren't for that interfering Kai bastard Kars.

“Explosion!” the woman declares, you flaring your energy up to shield your wife from the sudden blast's shock waves. But she doesn't avert her eyes, you sensing the intensity of her stare as you watch the damage to the wall unfold. A large section of stone near the top of the remaining wall tumbles down, crashing down inside the fortress to the screams of pain and shock from the defenders. But before the smoke's even clear, you can feel your wife start in your grip.

“Ah-! Sh-She's gone!” Megumin declares, you turning your gaze and, sure enough, the figure is long gone. No doubt a teleport spell of some sort, like your wife's friend and self-proclaimed rival Yunyun can do. “Where did she go?”
“I can't track her.” you say, Megumin turning around to look at you with a brow raised curiously. So you clarify, and watch her expression change. “I can't sense divine ki. I tried to sense their energy to track them the moment you pointed 'em out, but I can't follow them.”
“Dammit, I should have confronted her here.” your wife admonishes herself, shaking her head after a moment then gesturing to the fortress. “Well, it's too late now. Think you can help them?”

“With the wall?” you ask, an idea coming to mind as Megumin nods. “Alright, let's go make our introductions first.”

And so you fly down on the opposite side of the destruction that was just wrought, as the soldiers on the receiving side would no doubt be a little more jumpy than the door guards on 'friendly' soil. So you fly down, startling the four armed men stationed close together atop the wall as you enter into their lines of sight. They both jump in surprise, leveling their crossbows as you've learned they're called at you. But you pay the weapons no mind, giving them a wave as you land on the wall between them, setting Megumin down beside you.

“Wh-Who are you?!” one shouts, voice cracking a bit un-intimidatingly as his shaky arms points the weapon at you. You're more than confident that you could catch all four projectiles, even fired simultaneously before they could threaten your wife's well being, so you allow yourself to relax a bit.
“State your business.” the oldest guard says, voice gruffer and far more controlled than his clear subordinate. “Don't move, and keep your hands where I can see them.”
“Who are we?” you ask, turning to your wife and giving her a wink with the eye away from them. She gets the message and gives you a devilish grin back, and the two of you turn fully to face them. “Ladies first.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERKnkHq-6XA

“My name is Megumin! Greatest archwizard among the Crimson Demons, and she who walks the path of Explosions!” your wife declares, staff raised and crimson eyes glowing bright to match the enthusiasm of her declaration as she poses. “I who wield the greatest force of destruction magic known to mankind, and she who will one day master the art of Explosions!”
“My name is Chilli, son of Karn!” you also declare, striking your own pose while allowing your staff's crystal scythe blade to form menacingly. “The greatest archwizard of the entire Saiyan race, and he who will one day usurp the Supreme Kai of Time's throne!”

The four guards seem absolutely frozen in shock, their appreciation for your introductions overwhelming them to the point they cannot even speak for several moments. Unsurprisingly the older, more experienced soldier recovers first, and after closing his slack jaw slaps his fellow soldier beside him upside the head.

“Go get the commander, immediately.” he orders, the young man giving a hasty salute and sprinting towards the nearest stairwell set in the wall. You can hear his feet on the stone steps as he runs, no doubt eager for any excuse to spread the news wide that the two of you had arrived. “Sorry, but I'll need you both to wait here until the commander to verify your identities. The Demon King's army are all around us, and we can't risk letting a possible spy into our midst.”
“I get it, you need to get someone with authority here since you're not allowed to make these sorts of decisions yourself.” you say, speaking before your wife could get indignant. As you know she's quick to anger over what she calls 'pointless trivialities' when it comes to leaders and noble types. “I understand, we'll wait to speak with your leader. And when he comes, he can read this.”

And from a pocket you draw out the letter written by Princess Iris herself, wax seal of the kingdom pressed by her own ring back in Axel.

As you draw out the letter, you hear one of the morons behind you pull the trigger on his weapon. You don't even fully turn around, glancing over your right shoulder and smashing the metal-tipped wooden bolt to splinters with your tail. The guards all gasp in surprise, having clearly not expected your tail.

“What the hell?”
“He's a demon!”

“CALM DOWN! Both of you!” the older soldier before you declares, your wife not even turning around to face them, but keeping her eyes on the one before you. No doubt realizing that he's the most dangerous of the three up here. “I will NOT have my soldiers attacking a foreign diplomat, is that understood?”

But he doesn't get an immediate response, so asks again. Louder, and more forcefully.

“IS! THAT! UNDERSTOOD?!”
“Y-YES SIR!” they both reply in a panic, you seeing the hint of a smirk on your wife's face as they face the wrath of their superior. But as they hurry back, you hear several heavy, clanking footsteps on the stairs.
“Here they come.” you think to your wife, who's hearing isn't quite as acute as your own to let her know what's about to happen.
“Good.” is all she replies, and a few moments later the older guard hears them clanking up the stairs towards you all. He turns, and seeing the fully armed and armored knights gestures to the two to attention behind you. You hear them moving but focus on the stairs as the dozen or so metal-armored warriors ascend to the top of the wall. You recognize the one who's the commander immediately, their armor far more ornamental than the others'. As the warrior turns, your first impression is not a warrior, but you see a man with many heavy lines on his face, crushed by the weight of the responsibility he's forced to shoulder. You can almost smell his despair, and new worry upon seeing you despite doing his best to put on a brave face for his friends and allies. A look you recognize well.

“So, you are the outworlder I've heard rumors of.” he says by way of greeting, as you reach into your robe and drawing out the letter you'd been given. As you do, the knights all draw their swords, but you're unconcerned with them and offer the wax-sealed letter to the man. “What is this?”
“A letter from your Princess Iris.” you say, holding it out to him and his entire shocked entourage. “We spoke yesterday, and she asked that we come here and help out with your evil god problem.”

The soldiers all shout in surprise, many expressing clear doubt as to what you said. But the commander takes a step forward and takes the sealed envelope from you. He draws a knife, cutting it open without damaging the official seal. He unfolds the letter contained within and reads it silently for several moments.

>>5323621
The man's eyes widen as he continues reading, then once he's done folds up the letter, puts it back in the envelope, then holds it in his left hand as he offers his right hand to you.

“I see. Well then, Chilli. Megumin. Welcome aboard. We're truly blessed you're here.” he says genuinely, his relief palpable. The sudden change in the man's demeanor is apparent to his subordinates, who all look at you and Megumin differently. You accept his handshake, and only slightly crush his hand in your grip. Just enough to make him wince. Once you let him go the man doesn't even hold his hand, instead taking the petty show of dominance in stride and asks, “How can we assist you?”

“Your outer wall is looking ready to collapse. I'd like to fix that first, before we handle the Demon King General.” you say to him, ready to get down to business. “How soon is the second wave?”
“Second wave?” he asks, then as if realizing what you mean, shakes his head. “No no, it's only the one. She shows up every day, at a different time, and hits us with that damnable Explosion. Her range is greater than any of our own mages, so we cannot stop her before she can fire. Then before we can retaliate she simply vanishes, teleporting back to their camp deep in the forest where monsters have all the advantages. So day after day we're forced to try and rebuild, but it is a losing battle. We haven't even received reinforcements in a month, I had thought the Capitol abandoned us out here to die.”

“So its only her, and she only attacks once a day?” you follow up, and seeing him nod feel far more confident in your plan. “I need all your people to get clear of that wall, so I can repair it while my wife covers me. Should she return-”
“I'll show her who the true master of Explosion magic is!” your wife finishes, her bold declaration seemingly making the knights nervous. Which is a good thing. The more the people of the kingdom fear you and your wife's powers, the less likely it will be that they ever try something stupid in the future.
“As you wish. Please, follow me.” the commander says, you and your wife following him and half his entourage down the stairs, as the other half follow the both of you. Forming a defensive perimeter around the three of you, much as they had for just him upon the commander's arrival.

He leads you down off the wall, then across the courtyard where you can see the true toll of the battle here. Each soldier looks beaten down and hopeless, no emergency or enthusiasm to their movements as they all go about their day. Although you and your wife do get the occasional glance, you realize as you mingle about their people that you and your wife's different appearances aren't exactly that different. You see several warriors all wearing armor even more ornamental than the one worn by the commander, but as you approach the wall you notice one who immediately stands out.

“Ah-H-Hey! Where are you guys going?” Mitsurugi says, looking around confused at having his authority challenged by a 'kid'. But you quit focusing on him, instead walking towards the crumbling wall and open your magic sense to the spells woven all over and through it. You sense hundreds of lesser spells, animated golems fused into the remains of the wall in several places to hold up the crumbling fortress. In other words, nothing for you to work with. So you're going to have to do this the hard way.

“Looks like I'll have to start from the ground up.” you say, and turn to Megumin. “Mind clearing the rubble, so I can work?”
“Of course!” she replies excitedly, a trio of larger and larger magical circles spread out from around her feet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERKnkHq-6XA

“My name is Megumin! Greatest archwizard of the Crimson Demons, and she who walks the path of Explosion!” your wife declares, the soldiers and wizards all scrambling clear. You stay where you are, standing beside the wall as your the only one who can protect the weaklings cowering in this fortress. “May the hammer of eternity descend upon this crumbling fortress, clearing away the ruins and allowing my husband to rebuild this place anew! May the eternal darkness combine with my deep crimson, and burst forth!”
“Stop her!” the swordsman shouts, you seeing the commander grabbing him by the cape and stopping him from doing anything to your wife. But before he can break free, she fires.
“EXPLOOOOOOOSION!!”

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Her Explosion detonates at the weakest point in the wall, vaporizing stone at the point of impact. Her blast shatters what's left of the wall, blowing the remaining pieces out away from the rest of the fortress. But not all of it is sent that way, most notably a giant stone chunk the size of an Oozaru is blasted back. So you leap into action, kicking up off the ground directly between it and the people behind your wife. One good kick will shove it out away, and save-

“RUNE OF SABER!!” that arrogant swordsman shouts, and immediately after you feel a tremendous pain in your back.
“Gyaaaaaah!” you cry out, concentration broken as the stone before you is also split in half! Gritting your teeth against the pain, you reach out and grab both halves of the stone with telekinesis. Then with a shout launch the two halves directly into the large clump of powerlevels in the forest. “HAAAAAAA!!”

“Guh. D-Dammit.” you exhale, feeling several stronger powerlevels vanish as your projectiles crust many of the monsters hiding in the forest. But they're lowest on your priority list, you turning around and glaring down at the swordsman who'd slashed you. He seems shocked, not the least of which by the fact you're still alive after his attack, and takes an uncertain step back as you drop down out of the air directly in front of him. He's holding his ornamental sword in both hands, looking nervously at you as you snarl through clenched teeth. “If you interfere again, I will kill you. Do I make. Myself. Clear?”

The swordsman doesn't answer, you seeing the tip of his blade trembling slightly as he looks nervously at you. You glare for several more seconds, then wordlessly turn from him back to the sight of your wife's attack. And see that, indeed, she's grown more powerful than the Demon King General just judging by the results. Most of the wall is now simply gone, small stones along the ground revealing where it was. And so you step out into the remains of the wall, and hold your staff overhead in both hands begin channeling your magical power before slamming it blade-first into the ground.

“CRYSTAL MAGIC: PALEDRAKE'S LAIR!!” you bellow, and unleash one of the strongest spells in your arsenal. Magical crystals spread out across the ground and the remaining stones of the wall, you shaping them out into the shape of the wall your wife had demolished. Once you've covered the ground, you begin building the crystals up. It is slow going, creating literal tons of magical crystals into the ten foot thick wall more than forty feet across. You hear the surprised murmurs of the soldiers and mages all around, your magic no doubt impressing them as you pour more and more energy into the strongest fortification you've built to date. You've never created so much crystal in such a short time, even when building your own home, the walls were only a couple feet thick at the widest. But you refuse to stop, pouring everything you've got into the spell.

Ten feet tall, then twenty, then thirty, you keep sustaining the effort even as you feel your magic power dwindling as you near closer and closer to the tops of the other walls. Using so much power so quickly is leaving you exhausted, and that combined with the blood loss from your earlier injury, feel yourself drop down to a knee. But you don't quit, and keep pouring more and more magic into it until at last, your effort is finished. The wall has been fully rebuilt! Your newly made crystal wall stands just as tall as the other outer walls, a gleaming testament to your power as you exhaust yourself, slumping over onto your side as everything starts going dark. Looks like you've outdone yourself.

Instead of trying to get up, you simply lay there catching your breath. You'd underestimated just how much effort it would take to build something so much denser than your own home, which you'd created piecemeal after all and not all at once after all. But the task is done, leaving you only one last job to do today.

“Chilli! Are you okay?” your loving wife asks, you feeling her soft hands on your neck worriedly. So you open your eyes, and give her a gentle smile.”
“I'm fine, just used up a bit more magic than I thought.” you reply, and see her sigh out in relief. She'd told you of how, in her younger days, she'd cast a single Explosion and fall over, due to her body not able to fully handle firing off her own spells. But through sheer practice, and help from you making her Explosions more energy efficient, she no longer tumbles even after casting a half dozen powerful blasts like the one she demo'd the wall with. “Mind helping me up? Got one last thing to take care of before we can quit for the day.”

“Of course.” she says, expression darkening as she clearly knows who you want to address now. Getting under your right arm, she helps you up to your feet, and hands you your staff from where you'd dropped it. Which you have her hold for you once you've found your feet, and begin marching directly over to the swordsman who'd acted without thinking. His face has gone pale, and seeing you walking directly towards him hear his armor clank as he takes another step back.

“You. We're going to duel, right here and now.” you declare, and begin unfastening your robe. “You attacked me unprovoked, and I demand satisfaction.”
“But, you just used up all of your magic.” he tries to justify, looking around nervously. “I won't attack a man who's defenseless.”
“You mean like you did earlier?” you snarl, the swordsman, commander, and even his knights all taking a step or two back from the venom in your voice. But as you undo the last fasten and disrobe, you reveal to him your shoulder pad-less Saiyan armor underneath, and your repaired sword Blue Flame strapped to your back. Drawing the weapon with your right hand, you glare at him furiously. “I demand recompense in blood. Take up your sword, coward, and face me like a man.”

Mitrusugi looks around at the others, no doubt seeking someone to help him out of her current predicament, but seeing everyone waiting to see how this plays out, sight out and takes a defensive stance with his longer, more decorative sword.

“Very well. I, Kyouya Mitsurugi, accept your challenge.” he replies, then oddly enough seemingly speaks to his sword. “Let's go, partner.”

“What?” you think to yourself, seeing a man talking to his sword, but simply shrug it off. Who knows, that sword may be sentient itself, and speaks to him telepathically. It wouldn't even be the strangest thing you've seen on this world, much less the rest of the universe. “I'm going to make you bleed.”
“I can't lose.” he replies, raising his weapon as he takes a step forward. Which is your time to shine, and immediately surge towards him. You move far faster than he can react to, thrusting your sword forward and stopping the point just against his throat.

It takes him a quarter-second to recognize what's happening, his eyes widening in shock as he realizes his life is in your hands. But he then tries to deflect your blade aside to his right with his blade, you not resisting and whipping your blade in a quick circle and bringing it back to the left side of his neck. His eyes widen even more as the tip of his sword hasn't moved more than a foot yet, while you've already gotten him dead to rights twice in under a second. You draw it back, making a small cut on his neck while kicking off the ground. You twist around in midair, landing softly on your toes and turning back clockwise, once again resting the edge of your blade against him. This time just under his left earlobe, pressing it in just enough to draw a single drop of blood.

“Wh-What?” he exclaims, freezing as he suddenly feels your blade to the base of his skull. You whip your blade back and over him in a half circle, pressing the edge of your blade against his right ear now. Taking a step back you draw your sword's edge against his ear and shallowly cutting it. He flinches at this, ducking and turning to see you standing there, arm held down by your sword as if you aren't even in a fight. The man's expression is something to see, anger and fear mixing together and vying for dominance. “You-?!”
“I think that's enough, you've proven your point young master.” the commander says, you immediately taking two steps back from the now-bleeding warrior and holding your weapon low. But the man you'd cut across the head several times seems like he's not ready to give in, grinding his teeth. So you decide to make sure the fight's over, sheathing your blade. “Impressive bladework. I must say-”
“Hey! I'm not done!” the magic sword-wielder says, leaping towards you holding his weapon overhead in both hands for a powerful attack. But you're done, leaping up and grabbing him out of the air. With your left hand you grab onto his dominant right wrist, and with your right you grab him by the throat. “Gack!”

“You stupid. Ignorant. Self-important shithead.” you say, controlling your tone and keeping it level as you squeeze with your left hand, snapping his wrist in your grip. “I gave you a chance, now I'm DONE being patient.”
“KYAAAA!” he cries out in pain, dropping the sword behind his head as he desperately tries prying your left hand off his broken wrist. Seeing that doesn't work he draws his left hand back, slamming it directly into your face. But you don't even so much as flinch, and feel something in his hand pop. The man winces even more, tears forming in his eyes as he draws his hand back. You maintain your unblinking glare, and tighten your grip on his throat enough to silence his whimpering. Then letting go of his wrist, you draw him back behind you, then pitch the useless moron directly at the ground.

“HAAAA!!” you shout, throwing him straight down to earth. The ground splits and cracks from the force of your throw, his body making a crater at the point of impact. You remain in the air a moment longer, glaring down at him before slowly drifting down into the crater by the pair of shins sticking up and out of the ground. You reach down, and grab him by one leg and slowly fly back up and out of the crater with the moron in tow. “C'mon moron, it's not your time to take a dirt nap. Medics? Any medics here?”

“Here!” three people wearing white robes say, all stepping forward simultaneously. You set the unconscious moron down, and turn to leave when one of them reaches out, grabbing onto your wrist with her hand. You freeze, turning and glancing back over your shoulder curiously. “If you'll wait just a moment, sir, I can heal you from the slash Mitsurugi gave.”
“Oh, right. Thank you.” you say, having almost completely forgotten about the injury. She lays both hands on your back, and you feel a familiar warm, divine energy rushing into the cut across your entire back. After a few seconds it is done, the woman dropping her hands. “Appreciate it.”
“You done beating up someone who couldn't beat you while you were asleep?” your wife teases, walking up and sliding up under your right arm. You hold her close appreciatively, and the two of you turn back to the commander. “Now, as for your Demon King General problem, we'll handle her tomorrow.”
“Absolutely, allow me to direct you to our best rooms.” the commander replies, turning on a heel and leading you both into the castle proper. The rest of the problems can wait until tomorrow, but for now you've earned some rest and quiet time alone with your beautiful wife.

Did Chilli learn how to fence or was he just freestyling for the entirety of that spanking he just gave to that guy?

>>5323822
He’s no fencer, but not entirely inexperienced. He did learn a whole lot of Su Ma (including bladed) from his wizened Teacher, both before and after his passing. But what he was really showing was how utterly outclassed the narcissist was, to establish the pecking order.

>>5323846
When Karn eventually gets around to learning Juyo, do you think it would be a good idea to teach it to Chilli?

>>5323853
That's a very uncertain maybe.

I'm pretty sure if it was any other member of the family he attack in the back, they would have killed him with little fanfare. Dude lucked out something fierce.

>>5323939
Naw, Chaya would have dragged that shit out and had a musical number in the middle of it.
Conversely, Broly would have just gone Ascended Berserk and stomped him into a pancake instantly.

Chilli has incredible restraint, that’s for certain. Although, knowing how slow the people of this world react compared to his fellow Saiyans, he knows that moron probably wasn’t aiming for him. But he had to teach everyone there a lesson. Especially when word spreads that one of the strongest adventurers in all of Belzerg was so easily bested by the Saiyan.
>>5323942
That’s almost backwards. Chaya would have certainly murdered him in the moment, and probably let the boulder halves drop on the basically civilians because they “didn’t appreciate her” enough. But Broly has the most restraint(ironically), and would have finished the job as Chilli did first before very calmly and unstoppably made sure he understood the error of his ways by pulling a Goku vs Trunks on the guy.

Ain't nothing ironic about it. All he ever wanted was to make sure his loved ones never got hurt and he's done everything in his power to make that a reality.

Man...our kids would make great Sith. Not the retardedly comically evil kind, but the incredibly smart and driven kind.

I'm sorry to say this but so far the most positive impact we've had on children have been for the ones that aren't biologically ours. Broly especially but even the others like Vegeta and Raven have grown to be better people very quickly.

Or maybe I'm just too critical of our performance dadding for the kids closer to us more often than not.

we've done a great job raising our SAIYAN children. you need to remember our starting point. we could have definitely done worse, like canon Vegeta bad.

Well I can't really argue with that.

>>5323966
Yes basically. You try and cut in on her spotlight at your peril.
In what way? They aren’t her family, aren’t her people, and clearly not her adoring fans if one attacks her in the back.
Ironic in the grand sense of -a- Broly not flying off the handle when provoked.
Quite possibly. Except for Caulifla, unless she goes down some very dark roads.
>>5324028
He’s learned a thing or two about breaking someone from watching you train your newest student.
That’s a good point. Karn most effective in small doses, and not constant exposure confirmed? Almost like how his own father raised him?
Being self-critical can be a good thing, as long as it doesn’t devolve into attacking yourself.
>>5324123
>>5324133
An important point. Karn’s treading new ground, learning as he goes without someone else’s personal experience to rely on.

>>5323649
>Mitsurugi's pants status: shat
Attacking ANYBODY in the back like that guarantees being on someone's personal shitlist, but a SAIYAN WARRIOR? I'm surprised the fucker lived. But on top of that, he tries to chicken out of a direct challenge to himself, and when he loses tries to attack him unprompted TWICE? Any other saiyan would've made his dirt nap permanent. Chili was too nice, though I understand his restraint, saiyan customs are an anomaly in Belzerg's Kingdom, and didn't want to explain another diplomatic incident.

>>5324351
He was being very, VERY patient. But now the entirety of the fortress, and no doubt the capitol itself will hear about what happened before long. Which was the main point of his displays. Between Megumin obliterating the entire wall in one shot to him rebuilding it, then showing just how much stronger he was than the strongest fighter on the front lines, it was all proving a point

Here we go, 24 hours until this episode continues and the final battle begins!

Well then he's losing points on the verbal portion. He got the tone down, but lines on the level Karn's are something special.
I'm sure he'll get there some day.
Sidenote, I can only imagine the absolutely blistering tongue-lashings Tatsu could deliver in his day.
