Future Trunks raised the sword he had originally lowered once again. "Who exactly are you?"
Ino revealed a faint smile. "I am someone here to help you. If you are willing to become my subordinate, we can go together to clear out those villains on the timeline. I can't do anything about the villains born before me—I cannot change history that has already occurred—but as for those guys afterwards, we can kill them before they are even born, or just as they are born, and establish a truly civilized universe! If you agree, I'll help you get rid of the Androids in this space-time. How about it?"
Future Trunks hesitated somewhat. The conditions seemed decent, but he did not trust Ino. After thinking for a good while, he shook his head. "I refuse."
Ino was not surprised by this result.
She took out her own Hero's Sword. The style of the two swords was similar. She reached out and flicked a finger, causing a sword-shaped phantom to merge into Future Trunks' long sword.
"If you change your mind, you can call me through this sword. Goodbye."
She left as soon as she said she would. Injecting a considerable amount of Time Power into the Treasured Tool: Plow, she canceled the equipment's cooling time, took a step forward, and returned to her own timeline.
Future Trunks hadn't even figured out what was going on when the space before his eyes changed again. A young man with resolute features, wearing black clothes, suddenly appeared in front of him.
The young man looked in the direction Ino had left and pondered for a few seconds.
After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Future Trunks was greatly startled. "Brother Gohan? You're still ali... No, you aren't Brother Gohan at all."
Black-clothed Son Gohan nodded. "I am indeed not the Son Gohan you know. Trunks, I come by the order of a great deity. Are you willing to accept an invitation to become one of us?"
Future Trunks' expression quickly turned cold. "I still have my own home to protect. I have no interest in acting as a hired thug for you strange guys."
Black-clothed Son Gohan offered no comment. He reached out and pointed vaguely at Trunks' sword scabbard, transferring a stream of ki into it. "It doesn't matter. Time is on our side; you can consider it slowly. If there is a need, you can contact me at any time. Trust me, for us, enemies on the level of the Androids amount to absolutely nothing."
Just as this black-clothed man disappeared, a strange bird that looked very fat, with white feathers and golden plumes, resembling an owl, appeared sneakily in front of Future Trunks.
Future Trunks felt that the events happening today were simply ridiculous to the extreme. "No need to speak, let me guess. You are also here to recruit me, right? What exactly do you people see in me? Can't I just change it?"
The strange bird was stunned, looking left and right with a goofy expression. "Tokitoki! Am I late? Trunks, those ambitious schemers, those rebels want to use you. You absolutely must not be fooled! Only the Supreme Kai of Time is the master worthy of your service. We will hand the Time Patrol over to you to lead..."
Future Trunks waved his hands repeatedly. "Don't speak such nonsense. I have not a bit of interest in you people, nor do I want to get mixed up in the messy business between you all. Please do not come to disturb me again."
The strange bird scratched its head. "Tokitoki! Time is on our side; you can consider it slowly. Hmm? Then, then let me leave you a contact method..."
Amidst Future Trunks' speechless expression, the strange bird lightly tapped the blue shoulder strap on his long sword.
"Tokitoki, if there is a need in the future..."
"If I have a need, I will definitely contact you. Is there anything else?"
The strange bird was dumbfounded. "Tokitoki, uh, well, that seems to be it. Then I'll leave first? Remember to contact me if there's anything. You might not believe it if I say it, but those Androids..."
Future Trunks waved his hand helplessly. "The Androids amount to nothing to you guys. I understand. I understand it all."
...
The Earth warriors were training bitterly, preparing to face the challenge of the Androids.
Ino went to work daily, and when she had nothing to do on weekends, she went to kill those evil aliens. She felt that as long as the bad guys in the universe disappeared—regardless of how they disappeared—the Civilization Index would naturally rise as a result.
The Supreme Kai and the Grand Kai had already detected that she was consciously clearing out these bad guys within the universe.
These two leaders, who usually muddled through their days, had obtained some information from higher levels more or less. They knew Ino wasn't shooting arrows without a target, but was carrying out a slaughter intentionally and selectively.
The Grand Kai's level was still a bit low, but the Supreme Kai had already vaguely heard some rumors. He knew that another parallel universe was also doing similar things. To show their regard, they also began to provide help to Ino. The bad guys in the universe were becoming fewer; looked at from any angle, this was a good thing.
Ino's status was difficult to define. Which department did she count as belonging to?
She wasn't a Kai, wasn't a Supreme Kai, and it was even more impossible for her to be a Destroyer.
Zamasu could become an Apprentice Supreme Kai because he was originally the Kai of the Tenth Universe, while Ino was obviously not a Kai.
Toppo of the Eleventh Universe counted as an Apprentice Destroyer; this position didn't require bloodline, only the ability to fight! However, Ino's battle power wasn't that high yet.
She was actively cozying up to the Angels, but she was not an Angel after all.
Her identity was very awkward. Her life level was higher than people in the conventional sense, but she had not reached the degree of a god. Several factions could interact with her, but limited by bloodline, she ended up in a state where she didn't fit anywhere.
Her relationship with Whis was far from the degree where he would run errands for her. This wasn't a matter of waiting for a promotion from a superior; the bloodline restriction was dead set, making it impossible to even propose it.
Ino currently had the treatment of a temporary worker. The Grand Kai felt that her working like this wasn't appropriate; her title wasn't right, and her words didn't carry weight.
What to do?
The old man was very grateful for her help in preparing the Underworld Martial Arts Tournament and wanted to owe her a favor. After thinking about it, he finally brought out a resolution that wasn't so ambiguous.
Didn't the West Kai make a bet with the North Kai before, that whoever's subordinate won the championship at the Martial Arts Tournament would take the other's King Kai's Planet?
The Grand Kai made the final decision: the "Planet Claiming Operation" was a complete success.
Accept the bet, admit defeat.
He ordered the West Kai to hand over his King Kai's Planet to the North Kai for a term of thirty years.
For them, thirty years was just a nap; it was truly insignificant.
At the same time, he hinted to the North Kai to hand the West Kai's Planet over to Ino, letting her use it as an office location.
The West Kai was greatly dissatisfied, throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground—on what grounds? Unfortunately, the arm couldn't twist the thigh. The Grand Kai didn't try to smooth things over this time and made the resolution directly, so he could only execute it.
He dragged it out for two days until he really couldn't drag it out anymore, then finally evacuated the West Kai's Planet with his subordinates, handing over a completely empty planet to the North Kai's management.
The North Kai just liked his own small planet. Not to mention the Grand Kai's hint, even without the hint, he didn't want any West Kai's Planet.
Ino, in a muddled confusion, obtained the jurisdiction of the West Kai's Planet for thirty years.
The Grand Kai made it very clear: just thirty years, not a day more. You can conduct renovations, but you absolutely cannot blow up the West Kai's Planet!
