Chapter 201 Heles Keeps Her Appointment, Alice Dragged Into The Time Nest
A night passed.
Aaron woke from his sleep.
Looking at Marcarita, who was getting dressed, he said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you."
Marcarita tied her ponytail, turned to Aaron with a smile, and said, "I have my duties. I can't marry you like the others and enjoy the everyday mortal life forever. This is just our little secret."
"There's still a lot to do in Universe 11."
"Oh, I see. Got it."
Marcarita smiled sweetly and said, "Hubby, I have to go. If you miss me, just press that button, and I'll come over."
"Mm, I will."
"Kiss me one more time." Marcarita closed her eyes.
An hour later, Marcarita turned into a stream of light and vanished from sight.
Aaron looked at the sky and murmured, "Angels can get pregnant too, right?"
Soon after, the morning sun shone in.
From outside came No.21's voice.
"Hubby, time to eat!"
"Coming!"
Shortly, Aaron sat at the table.
"Hm? Where's Marcarita? Why is she gone?"
Aaron said, "She's an Angel, so she's very busy. She's already left."
No.21 looked a bit disappointed. "I see. That's true, she is a god, not that free."
Bulma laughed and said, "Whis doesn't seem that busy to me."
No.21 said, "He's about to get busy. All eight universes with low mortal levels need to raise our averages. All the God of Destructions and Supreme Kais should be feeling the pressure now. They can't be like before. Who knows what Zeno might do next time."
No.18 nodded: "Exactly. The same trick won't work twice. This time, the Tournament of Power gave all universes a chance to reform. As gods, they naturally need to actively change this situation."
Caulifla said, "Yeah, I heard that Shin has started gathering all the Supreme Kai and is vigorously intervening in the mortal realm to raise the average level."
"Alright, then nothing for us to do. We'll just live our lives. Eat up, eat up!"
After the meal, Future Alice came over.
"Dad, I can't stay in this timeline. I've already said goodbye to Mr. Goku and Vegeta. I'm going to go out and gain experience on my own."
Aaron was stunned: "What? Your original timeline is gone. If not in this timeline, where will you go?"
"Beerus-sama showed me a path. Future Zamasu created another timeline. That timeline doesn't have you all, and it doesn't have Zamasu either. I'm going there to rebuild Earth and start my life over."
Bulma stroked Alice's head affectionately and said, "Our daughter is all grown up. It's time for her to go out and explore. Your father and I were already having you when we were your age! Find a boyfriend soon!"
Alice's face was full of dark lines. She said disdainfully, "Mom, I don't want that! I have the blood of the warrior race, the Saiyans. I'll still be young at 80. No rush."
Bulma smiled wryly.
It seemed her daughter had inherited the desire to fight, not a romantic mindset.
She had no such thoughts at all.
All good things must come to an end.
An eagle, once grown, must always fly towards the vast sky.
Alice quickly finished saying goodbye to her family, boarded the time machine, and vanished.
Just then, a stream of light landed in Aaron's yard.
Heles waved and greeted, "Hi, No.21, Aaron! Great, you're both here. I'm here to keep our appointment!"
...
Alice piloted the time machine, weaving through time and space.
Suddenly, a suction force appeared, forcibly dragging her into a space.
When Alice awoke, the time machine was gone.
She stood before a palace.
She looked around for a long time but couldn't figure out where she was.
So, Alice prepared to walk outside to see.
Suddenly, a girl rushed towards her.
"Hey! Wait, you big idiot!"
Alice reacted quickly, jumping aside. The girl pounced on empty air and fell flat on the ground.
Alice asked in surprise, "Hey, who are you?"
The girl stood up and said angrily, "I am The Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa. You have meddled with time so outrageously, it's an unprecedented and rare occurrence. Even I, the Supreme Kai of Time, don't know what to do with you!"
Hearing 'meddling with time', Alice understood instantly.
She had traveled from the future to the past and was now using the time machine to go to the future.
So the Supreme Kai of Time had caught her and brought her here.
"Well…" Alice tried to explain.
Chronoa immediately interrupted her.
"Hold on, don't try to smooth things over. There's evidence, you know!"
Saying this, Chronoa took out a map.
She continued, "History has never seen a place like this. How could you even create such a thing? What were you thinking?"
Chronoa closed the map and said angrily, "Got you now, didn't I? What is your goal?"
Alice looked utterly confused.
"What do you mean? I don't know anything about a place like that either!"
Chronoa blinked, looking at Alice.
That innocent expression of hers really didn't seem like she was lying.
"Huh?? You really didn't do it?"
"Of course not."
Chronoa unrolled the Time Scroll, checking it while saying, "No way, is there some other timeline meddler out there?"
Sweat dripped awkwardly from Alice's forehead.
She thought to herself: 'This person is so noisy, and she doesn't seem very smart! But she's pretty cute, I guess. I wonder if Dad would like this type of girl? Maybe I should tie her up for him?'
Chronoa looked at the Time Scroll, frowning, and was silent for a moment.
Alice asked, "Um, excuse me, where is this place?"
"This is the Time Nest, where the flow of time is monitored. I, the Supreme Kai of Time, and the bird that pushes time, Tokitoki, are responsible for maintaining the order of time."
"The reason I dragged you here is because I detected you using something called a 'time machine' to recklessly manipulate time."
Alice touched her chin and said, "So, by traveling back and forth between past and future, I've caused time problems, is that it?"
"Of course! Even for me, the Time Administrator, meddling with time, if even a little bit goes wrong, could destroy everything."
Alice immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Well, I didn't know, but... I'm sorry."
Chronoa nodded approvingly: "It seems you finally understand the importance of this matter."
"So, is there any way I can help?" Alice asked.
Chronoa opened the map again and said, "Anyway, if you didn't create this place, we need to find the cause quickly."
"Huh? Could you take me to that place? I'm strong. Maybe I can help you solve the problem."
"I think if my use of the time machine caused the problem, just apologizing isn't enough. Could I contribute and help find the cause?"
"Hmm... well..."
Chronoa began to consider her proposal.
'She doesn't seem to be lying, and what she did before wasn't malicious. Although I've never discovered a mortal disrupting time before, there's no precedent, as the administrator, I can't just send her back either.'
Chronoa nodded: "Alright, I'll allow you, under my supervision, to interfere with time and space!"
With that, Chronoa pointed at Alice.
Instantly, Alice's clothes transformed into the uniform designated by the Supreme Kai of Time.
"Huh? Why are you changing my clothes?"
"Well, your previous clothes were too informal. These are my newly designed clothes. They're thousands of years ahead of your world, very fashionable, you know!"
Alice's mouth twitched, 'Fashionable? They were so tacky!'
"Well... okay." Alice didn't argue.
"Let's call it the Time Patrol! Don't you think it's kinda cool?" Chronoa looked very proud.
As if coming up with that name was a great achievement.
Alice: "Um, can we go now?"
Chronoa: "Won't you give me any respect? I'm your direct superior!"
"Fine, Lord Supreme Kai of Time, shall we go?"
"Go, go, let's go now!" Chronoa looked resigned.
'She really has no fashion sense.'
The Supreme Kai of Time basically managed time and space here alone. If she weren't an interesting person, she would have gone crazy from loneliness long ago.
Soon, Chronoa took Alice to this land that had suddenly appeared.
They looked around... it seemed to be just a barren continent.
"This is a history that doesn't exist!"
Suddenly, they heard a slight sound nearby.
"Who's there?" Chronoa whispered.
"Shh, let's sneak over there."
They tiptoed quietly towards the source of the sound.
"Fantastic! Just being nearby, I can feel it. This is the power of the soul, the power of [Kili]!"
"Just a little more and we'll have gathered enough Kilipower needed. We will be completely liberated!"
"Go quickly, Mira. Fighting warriors with strong combat power in the history before the temporal distortion will yield a large amount of Kili."
"Leave it to me, Towa-sama!"
Chronoa immediately jumped out.
"Found the cause! Stop right there!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Chronoa shouted, "We are the Time Patrol, here to arrest you timeline disrupters!"
As she shouted, Chronoa struck an embarrassing pose, reminiscent of the Ginyu Force.
Seeing Alice not moving, Chronoa quickly whispered, "Hey, Alice, do the pose too, otherwise it'll look like I just slipped."
Alice's face was covered in dark lines, but seeing how serious Chronoa was, she learned the pose and struck it awkwardly.
Alice thought to herself, 'If Dad saw me making this pose, he'd laugh for a whole year, right?'
Towa, under her black robe, stared intently.
"Huh? The Kai who controls time?"
Suddenly, Mira fired an energy bullet directly at Chronoa.
"Don't bother Towa-sama!"
