#VEGITO POV#
"...and that is the gist of it yes," I say as I finish telling Vomi about my troubles with Bulma and the fact that I still have feelings for her even after a year of her not talking to me
"So, you agreed to use me as a rebound," She says with a pained expression
"NO," I scream before realizing it
"No, I am not using you as a rebound," I state flat-out
"You are an incredible woman and I am sure that you wouldn't have any problems finding a man that will cherish you. One of the reasons I agreed to this date. Was to find out if we could work things out and learn much more about each other as even though, I did teach you much about Ki. We did not learn a lot about one another personally," I tell her
"And the other reasons for agreeing?" She asks
"Those are a lot more...simple. You are beautiful, charming, caring, funny, and have many other traits that make me attracted to you as a person. I would be an idiot if I didn't try to...court you," I tell her honestly
"Oh, thanks," She says blushing while twirling some of her hair around her fingers
I smile a bit at her and she blushes harder
"It's the truth,"
"Vegito," She says sipping from her hot chocolate
"Going back to what you said about wanting to explore the universe and possibly beyond. I would be willing to join you," She says looking me in the eyes
"Really?" I asked shocked at it
It was one of the first things that she learned about me
I also told her about Universe 11 as that is where Jiren is
I want to explore all of creation
I have been to some of the most beautiful planets in Universe 7
I have traveled to different galaxies, I have eaten alien foods, heck, I even saw some alien reality TV
Seen supernovas happen in real time
There is just so much to see and explore
As much as I would hate to be alone for eternity, I don't think it would be too much of a burden for me as I am not just going to be limited to the Dragon Ballverse
Thanks to Connor's observation and my own about using magic to prevent others from getting DNA samples or similar stuff shows that I might be able to use my magic in other universes
He also managed to use the connection that a set of Dragon Balls have with each other across different realities entirely
Something that I may be able to exploit using my own methods
Once I am prepared enough, I may be able to use this to travel to other realities
Which means more studying
Joy
"Are you sure?" I ask Vomi with a bit of hope
I may be immortal and Vomi may come close to being immortal in her own right but that doesn't really get rid of the fear of being alone
"Yes, I am a scientist and a researcher first, and you know that I am not particularly interested in fighting as much although, I do enjoy the occasional spar and all, and from what I have studied of my own body. I am immortal myself, if not somewhat close to it," She says giving out reasons as to why she wants to join me.
"Going around with you into the universe, possibly learning about new technologies seems so incredible. Also, my reasons are similar to your own," She says blushing again which I honestly found cute
Wait, what did she say...
"As I am going to at least live for a very long time from what you said and from my own research, I... don't want to be alone," She whispers that last part looking to the side
"I don't want to be alone either," I whisper as she turns to look at me and an understanding passes between the 2 of us
"So, want to give it a try?" She asks a bit nervously
"Yes, I would like that," I answer her with a smile as she smiled back at me
She reaches her hand across the table and grabs mine
Her hand is so soft
"So, what's next?" She asks
"Well, I already told you a bit about but I am sure that Beerus, the God Of Destruction is going to wake up in a few years," I remind her and she gets an understanding look in her eyes
"You want to fight him,"
"Yes, I do, fighting him will only be the beginning though, as there might be enemies hiding from us," I tell her as there is still a lot on my plate already
I need to get God Ki, and I am going to have to wait for that, I have to awaken my Ki's Will and then learn how to manipulate it, and also continue my magical education as Connor showed that I am nowhere near I can be, plus something that Connor explained about his powers of Shazam as I had revealed to him some of mine
He talked about [Divine Authorities] and how they are used by gods with some very rare ones being avatars of it and some being literal representations of the cosmic laws that they govern
He also mentioned that the Gods Of Destruction have access to the [Divine Authority of Destruction] similar to Avatars or champions
He theorizes that Zeno gave them access to the [Divine Authority Of Destruction] and from my own studies into that ancient civilization that captured and experimented on one points towards that theory being correct
Then he told me to be careful about Zeno
If Zeno is capable of granting such a powerful Authority in not just one but multiple universes without worrying about being betrayed
Then the child Zeno pretends to be is nothing but a facade
Telling Connor that Zalama is very likely dead sent him into a frenzy as he went on to explain the possible ramifications of it
The Super Dragon Balls were said to be capable of granting any wish, even being capable of undoing something like Zeno's erasure, bringing multiple universes back into existence
Which marks Zalama as being Nigh-Omnipotent at minimum
I have to be careful and possibly outright avoid Zeno
I know stuff like the war that happened but I am going to have to find that out later
Vomi and I talked for a while longer just enjoying being in each other's presence
Taking her back home she kisses me on the cheek as she goes inside with a sway on her hips she turns her head catching me staring at her and she winks at me
Smiling as she goes inside, I teleport back to my home
A certain ring comes from my wrist as I watch a holographic screen appearing and I smile as I see that my copy of Seven-Three has been completed
My way of cheating to get Ultra Instinct is done
I am going to find Merus in the future and get copies of his immense power
Besides that, I go to my room and go to sleep with a smile on my face thinking of Vomi as my heart feels lighter than before
#SOMEWHERE ELSE THIRD POV#
"Why did it turn to stone?" Asks the beast in the skin of a man as he stare at the previously evil orb in his hand
"Milord, the preparations are nearly done,"
"Are they now, hmm, let us depart then," Says the beast
"They will fail, milord,"
"Yes, they will fail, but that alone is not enough, we must crush the hope of any that may remain, we must kill their hope," Says the beast
"Let us witness their failure of this pathetic attempt to prevent their burning, let us witness them fail at this...
...Grand Order"
