"The Grand Minister is truly terrifyingly strong."
Holding the token engraved with the character "Grand", Beryl's chest heaved.
It took her a long time to calm her uneasy heart.
Through the power of the Chat Group, Beryl could barely sense the Grand Minister's strength.
From beginning to end, the Grand Minister did not show the slightest hint of arrogance, but merely standing beside him felt like being at the center of all Universe laws.
Fortunately, even the Grand Minister couldn't discover the system's existence.
With that, Beryl's anxious heart eased slightly.
Beryl took a deep breath and called out to the Chat Group: "System, help me check if this token has any hidden tricks."
A few seconds later.
[Ding, the token is made of special material and is not connected to any karma.]
"Is it just symbolic?" Beryl recalled what the Grand Minister had said earlier.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Beryl shook her head.
She had to be cautious, after all, the Grand Minister is strong enough to easily erase her with a wave of his hand.
"However, no matter what, I owe him a favor."
No matter what the Grand Minister was planning, she had to visit the Universe 6 and Universe 7 once.
...
Zeno's Palace.
On the high platform, Zeno sat upright.
The Grand Minister bowed slightly, pondering how to begin.
"Hey, didn't you bring back the new God of Destruction?" Zeno, whose head resembled a hard-boiled egg, was curious when he saw the Grand Minister return without speaking.
"The transition period for the new and old God of Destruction hasn't arrived yet, and the flow of time in Universe 10 seems to have a slight problem," the Grand Minister replied after a moment of thought.
"Like 20 years ago?" Zeno asked an irrelevant question.
"Uncertain."
The Grand Minister shook his head.
"Before I returned, I observed all the parallel timelines that had appeared. There was no God of Destruction named Beryl, nor was there a Saiyan Princess named Beryl in any of the parallel timelines."
"Oh, so that means our timeline is special, then."
Twenty years ago, a major event occurred in the current timeline.
The current timeline, in many places including Dragon Realm, were cleansed by a mysterious rule.
The conclusion drawn from various investigations was that the current timeline would no longer produce another parallel timeline.
"Hey, Grand Minister."
Zeno jumped off his seat and stood beside the Grand Minister.
"No other discoveries?"
"She is very mysterious. I don't know if that Saiyan Princess knows about herself," the Grand Minister replied after a moment of contemplation, "If I harbor ill will towards her, an unbeatable feeling will emerge in my heart."
"The intensity of the law emanating from her even exceeds the sum of all Universe coefficients."
"Oh, is she that terrifying?"
"That boundless law seems to only exist to ensure her safety," the Grand Minister stated his conjecture.
Seeing that Zeno did not continue to ask, the Grand Minister paused for a moment and continued:
"That Saiyan Princess wants to use the Super Dragon Balls to revive the former God of Destruction Rumsshi. According to the rules of Dragon Realm, she is a being born in Universe 7 and can use the Super Dragon Balls, so I couldn't refuse."
"I wonder, Lord Zeno, what is your intention…?"
"She'll be here soon, won't she?"
Zeno, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in his still childish voice.
"I'm also very curious about Zalama's opinion."
Zeno slowly walked back to his seat, and the wisdom in his eyes once again disappeared.
...
God of Destruction Realm.
Beryl did not immediately go to other Universes to collect the Super Dragon Balls.
Before leaving Universe 10, she definitely needed to make some preparations.
In addition, Zamasu's previous crazy behavior had caused Hell to remain in a very unstable state.
She also needed some time to observe.
Otherwise, if she left, the Underworld and Hell might explode right after.
That would be a huge mistake.
However, she was also very idle.
Every day, she would have the Underworld personnel report on their work, and then she could relax in the God of Destruction Realm and browse the Chat Group.
And at this moment, in the Chat Group.
[Kumoko: "Group Leader, help, I've encountered a big BOSS."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "?"]
[Kumoko: "Look, it's this image.jpg"]
Kumoko sent an image, which was a screenshot of the big BOSS.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Demon Lord Ariel?"]
[Kumoko: "Yes, yes, yes, it's her, no wonder the name sound familiar."]
Kumoko also realized.
Wasn't that the name Güliedistodiez mentioned when she was fighting the fire dragon earlier?
The Origin Taratect, Demon Lord Ariel.
[Kumoko: "Group Leader, I feel like I'm about to be finished."]
[Uchiha Madara: "The attribute gap is quite significant."]
Demon Lord Ariel's attribute panel made Uchiha Madara click his tongue in amazement.
Not to mention the long string of HP and MP, the Skills below were almost all maxed out.
Although he didn't know what Kumoko's current attribute panel was like, it was impossible for Kumoko to have increased her stats to the numbers displayed in the image she sent in such a short time.
[Kumoko: "Exactly, exactly!"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Let me ask you a question, is your 'Body Brain' still around?"]
[Kumoko: "'Body Brain'? Eh, I haven't been able to contact her for a long time either."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "I see, then good luck, I won't help you this time."]
[Kumoko: "Huh?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Because, this is a test, I can't help you every time, and I'll reveal a future secret to you."]
[Kumoko: "What secret?"]
Kumoko had already dodged the Demon Lord's first pursuit, so she could chat with the Group Leader so leisurely now.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Demon Lord Ariel will be your future best friend, a very good friend, the kind you can stick with, aren't you surprised?"]
[Kumoko: "Huh?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "Is it like my relationship with Hashirama?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "?"]
Uchiha Madara, don't you want to look at what you're saying?
When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
Skipping Uchiha Madara's irrelevant topic.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, try to stall for time. As long as you can escape safely from the Demon Lord a few more times, Demon Lord Ariel will actively reconcile with you in the future."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Good luck, little spider."]
[Kumoko: "…"]
Escaping from the Demon Lord even once was a near-death experience, and several times?
It seemed the Group Leader was unreliable.
Kumoko had sought help from the Group Leader with a glimmer of hope, but she also knew clearly that the Group Leader might not help her.
Demon Lord Ariel, although very strong.
But unlike Evil God D and Güliedistodiez, she was not a terrifying existence that completely exceeded the system's limits.
Since there was no external help, she would save herself.
She, Kumoko, would rise up!
