NABC Chapter 519: Played by My Future Self, The Golden Soul of Gods and Humans
Chapter 519: Played by My Future Self, The Golden Soul of Gods and Humans
Chapter 519: I was played by my future self, the Golden Requiem of Gods and Humans, I'll trade places with you for hundreds of cycles!
"Mirror magic, the magic of this world is indeed amazing, but it's not enough to create superhuman beings like us. As for that god-man, does he even deserve to possess me?"
Broly was puzzled by the alien god's attitude. The most likely possibility he could think of was that the human god had possessed his future self.
After all, the current god has done something similar before, having replaced the first god, and might still have that ability.
In the future, someone will ambush you, seize your body, and then return from the future to the present to kill you or something.
"However, you're right about one thing: I really do come from the future." Seeing Broly remain silent, the Other God smiled and asked, "Don't you believe me?"
Should I believe you?
While Broly was talking to the alien god, he was secretly recovering his energy.
"I have evidence to prove this."
However, the alien god said...
"What evidence?"
Broly frowned as he looked at the alien god who looked exactly like him except for his hair color and asked.
"Think carefully about your past self. The strongest concept we obtained from Altshue back then—did it have no effect whatsoever in our battle?"
The other god pointed to his temple and said to Broly.
"So what if it is? That ability has never been effective."
"Wrong. It's not that it can't work, it's just that you haven't encountered an opponent stronger than yourself yet. But me, do you think I, who has beaten you to this point and only dares to secretly recover under my nose, am not stronger than you?"
Broly was speechless. The guy in front of him was indeed strong, completely overwhelming him. After fighting for so long, only the last compressed energy bullet had any effect, but the guy still seemed to be fine, except that his clothes were torn.
"The reason it didn't work in our fight is because this conceptual ability didn't treat us as different individuals at all."
The battle between you and me, from the perspective of this conceptual ability, is no different from fighting with both hands simultaneously, and that is the biggest reason why it has failed to be effective.
"That sounds reasonable, but I don't believe it. You could still be a god who possessed my future self and gained my memories."
"I already said that the god-human is a useless piece of trash and doesn't have the ability. With the Crystal Palace around, he simply can't do this."
The alien god was already itching to punch him, and Broly could sense the calm before the storm.
"Then how can I make you believe me?"
The alien god suppressed the urge to punch himself and asked the question.
"If you were really me, you couldn't have killed Alice."
Broly said it through gritted teeth.
"Ha, so you think I killed Alice?"
Upon hearing this, the alien god smiled.
"Just freezing her won't kill her. Why don't you check the Crystal Palace panel first and see if Alice is dead or not?"
Upon hearing this, Broly was taken aback, and then began to examine the area.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Luo Qixi and the others had simply left the state where they could generate happiness points; there had been no deaths.
"But even if you're not dead, why did you send your men to attack Alice and the others, and what about Orstide...?"
Before Broly could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the alien god in front of him, who gave the answer directly: "Orstid is not dead either. I just sealed him with barrier magic."
As for attacking Alice and the others, that was to put pressure on the past me, which is now you, so as to force you to enter Super Saiyan mode.
"Forget it, come back to Dragon Cry Mountain with me now. No matter how much I tell you now, you'll still have doubts. It's better for you to go back and witness the truth for yourself."
As he spoke, the alien god condensed a ball of energy in his hand and threw it over. Broly didn't have time to dodge and was hit directly. But this was not an attack; it was just a gentle ball of energy. After touching Broly, this energy merged into him without any delay, as if it were Broly's own energy, quickly restoring his overexerted body.
Immediately afterwards, Broly saw the alien god, who conjured a perfectly intact garment out of thin air and put it on himself.
"You have a crystal palace, and so do I. Do you need me to give you a suitable outfit?"
Broly shook his head, took out a piece of clothing to change into, and then flew back with the other person.
When they returned to Dragon Cry Mountain, the battle was still ongoing.
"Stop, I'm done here."
Upon hearing his words, both the black-armored swordsman and the other two black-robed masked men stopped.
Just as Kyrie Ion was about to attack the black-armored swordsman, the alien god stepped forward and grabbed his sword.
"Broly, that guy killed Alice!"
Kyrie Irgen shouted angrily at the alien god, but the alien god calmed the big dog down with just the words, "Alice is not dead."
The alien god raised his hand towards the ice sculpture that had frozen Alice, and the light of the magic circle appeared beneath the ice sculpture. The temperature rose, and the ice sculpture quickly melted.
"Cough, cough~"
After being freed, Alice coughed twice and then began to gasp for breath.
It was frozen in ice, but it was conscious, though it couldn't move its body and was still a bit cold.
Another problem was her breathing difficulties; if she was rescued any slower, she would suffocate.
"Thanks, Broly. I knew you could beat that masked guy..."
Alice said after catching her breath.
"Your words don't make me happy at all."
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Alice, I am Broly."
The Saiyan boy then fell from the sky.
"Hey, why are there two Brolys?"
Luo Qixi and the others were all a little confused at this point.
"I am Broly."
Broly spoke out again.
"And I am the masked guy that Alice talks about, but I am also Broly, only the Broly of the future."
The explanation for "异神" is as follows.
"What exactly is going on?"
Luo Qixi and the others were completely bewildered.
"Before answering that question, let's find Orstide first."
The alien god stretched out his hand towards Longming Mountain, and gravity magic reappeared, exerting a gravitational effect that pulled the dragon god, who had been knocked away and was now lifeless and seemingly dead, back to him.
The Dragon God was not dead, but his entire body was covered with black demonic patterns, making him unable to move or speak. He could only stare at everyone with wide eyes.
"untie."
With the other god's words, the seal was lifted. Freed, Orstide looked at the other god, then at Broly, and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
He said he was me in the future.
Broly pointed to the alien god and said succinctly.
Orstide remained silent. He didn't understand the situation either, so he didn't offer any opinion and simply looked at the alien god.
"Everyone, take off your masks and helmets. We've already enhanced my past self's strength, so there's no need to hide my identity anymore."
The four men who followed nodded upon hearing this, and they all took off their hoods, masks, and, of course, helmets.
"Hey, you're Sister Qixing, then who is the Sister Qixing behind me?"
Aisha looked at Shizuka Nanahoshi on the other side, then turned back to look at Shizuka Nanahoshi on her side, and her eyes widened immediately.
"Then of course she's your Seven Star Sister too."
The future Shizuka Nana gently looked at Aika as she was a child and said...
"Ah, Sister Luo Qixi has another one, and this white-haired one looks just like Sister Xilufei!"
Aisha exclaimed again.
"It seems natural, because we are all essentially the same person, except that we are from the future."
"That's what the future Luo Qixi said."
"Hmm, my white hair? That's because my future self once ran out of magic, and that's how my hair turned this color."
The woman, who looked to be a young woman, looked at her past self who was staring wide-eyed at her asking about her hair color, and began to explain to her past self.
"As expected, I won't age in this world."
"Isn't eternal youth a wonderful thing?"
The conversation between the two Shizuka Nanahoshi was like a mirror image.
"And who are you?"
Aisha approached the last black-armored swordsman who had removed her helmet, looked up at her, and asked the question.
"Ah, I do share the same name as you, little sister."
The swordsman, whose face was somewhat aged but whose youthful charm was still evident, smiled as he looked at his past self.
"Are you really Ainatsu, the Ainatsu you'll grow up in the future?"
Alice and Kyrie Illya stared wide-eyed at the formidable enemy they had just faced, demanding answers.
"Indeed, Sister Alice and Miss Kyrie, don't you find my swordsmanship somewhat familiar?"
"That's what the elderly Aisha said."
"You're so strong, this must be god-level, right?"
"My future self will be known as the Demon Sword God!"
Old Aisha burst into laughter and immediately revealed her top title.
And now, looking at the extra wives, oh no, future wives.
Even Broly, at this point, believed what the Other God had said before.
"But why are you coming back, future generations?"
"Aisha, you are the Demon Sword God, but what about me? What is my future? Why didn't I come back with you?"
Alice was very concerned about the level of swordsmanship she could reach in the future, and at the same time, she looked around, wondering if there was a future version of herself hiding here.
"Sister Alice, you are a god-level expert in all three major schools, so why didn't you come..."
Old Aisha fell silent.
"Because you, my wife Alice Boreas, have died in June of the year 479 of the Ankylion calendar, in the 288th cycle, at the age of 74."
The alien god took over and answered the question.
Am I dead?
Alice was somewhat surprised, but then she asked.
"What about Gilead? Is Gilead dead too?"
"Gilead didn't die. She lived longer than you think. However, in future cycles, she will choose to stay by your tomb after each of your deaths, becoming your tomb keeper."
The alien god looked at the big dog girl. Even after more than two hundred reincarnations, she was not his wife, but just a loyal dog who followed Alice.
"May I ask how the future Alice died?"
Broly then interjected, his face extremely serious.
"I know what you mean, but I want to tell you that no one hurt Alice."
The Dragon God wanted to speak, but the Other God seemed to know what he wanted to say and spoke first.
"And this wasn't the work of a god. That guy really didn't do anything. Or rather, what He needed to do was already done when He guided me to meet Alice in the 20th playthrough."
"Sister Alice died of old age. She was still full of energy practicing her sword in the morning, but after she went home and fell asleep at night, she never woke up again."
Older Aisha took over the conversation.
"The god of the 20th cycle had foreseen this scene long ago. Alice was actually His true apostle. He manipulated various coincidences to deepen our relationship, with the aim of waiting for us to be unable to accept the outcome when she naturally grew old and passed away, and then..."
As Lokishi spoke, she looked at Orstide.
"And so, my time reversal became the way to keep Alice alive, right?"
The Dragon God asked.
"Yes, after Alice died, in the several cycles of reincarnation, I realized that this was the arrangement that the God of Man completed in the twentieth cycle. Your time reversal will be the way for us to keep Alice alive. You cannot defeat the God of Man because I will not let you break the curse of time reversal."
The alien god said.
Orster looked at him silently for a while before asking, "I think you haven't completely resigned yourself to your fate, have you?"
Why do you say that?
"If you and I really fall out in the future, I believe that I will never let my life reach September 407 again."
Upon hearing this, the alien god laughed: "Orstide, my dearest friend, you have always been so reliable, both in the past and in the future. That's right, after learning about the situation, you chose to help me find a way to keep Alice alive and live for a longer period of time."
"Have you tried the freezing abilities possessed by Shivari, the elven apostle of Percius and the Void?"
"Mr. Alsterd in the past, before we came back here, we had already tried countless methods."
In future iterations, Broly conquers the entire Six Faces world multiple times, gathering all the knowledge and wisdom of this world, and using force to unite the geniuses of an entire world and an era for his own use.
We pooled our wisdom and efforts to find a solution to the problem of lifespan. This wasn't just Alice's lifespan problem, but also Ariel's, and finally, mine.
But in the end, whether it was the demon race's reincarnation technique, the long-eared race's life-extending magic, or the celestial race's freezing technique, they all failed.
"How could that be? It's just to prolong the life of a human being."
Orstide couldn't understand.
"Then what's the reason? There's always a reason for failure, isn't there?"
he asks.
"Because Alice and the others are human, this is the human realm, and gods are gods."
The other god answered the question without explaining much, but Orstid understood.
"Besides futuristic vision and instilling trust in others, what other abilities does that 'human god' possess?"
"When I can't find a way to solve the problem in this world, I learn magic to create new magic to solve the problem."
I have touched upon the truth of this world, and realized that it is absolutely impossible to find a way to extend the lifespan of humanity within the six-sided world.
Because as long as one is human and lives in the human realm, one must abide by the truth that "being born as a human has an end to one's lifespan."
I don't know if this is a rule that originally existed in this world, or if humans and gods paid some price to achieve it and then inscribed it into the basic rules governing the operation of this world.
But I know I can't change the fact that Alice will die in 479, nor can I change the fact that Ariel will pass away two years later, and I will have to watch Aisha leave my side in the near future...
Broly, the alien god, experienced the successive deaths of his two human wives, and his remaining human wife, Aisha, was about to follow in his footsteps.
Alice died, and he became a Super Saiyan. Ariel also died later. He began searching the world in multiple cycles for ways to extend the lifespan of humans or to reincarnate the dead. Everyone who stood in his way was killed by him.
In some future timelines, the title of "Other God" is far more evil than that of the Dragon God.
Many countries fell simply because they possessed what Broly wanted.
Broly, being a principled Saiyan, disliked being a bandit, so after being rejected by other methods of negotiation, he chose the simplest approach.
That is to kill all the original owners of the books or secret techniques you want, whether they are individuals or groups, and only pick them up after they become ownerless, so that it doesn't count as robbery.
Of course, the reason he did this was because the god who had been behaving himself in multiple playthroughs suddenly presented him with a piece of rubbish about lifespan, causing him to have a mental breakdown and lose control of his emotions.
Of course, things are back to normal now.
After all, the way to change everything has been found, because he has gone back to the past.
It's not the past of a single cycle, but the past of past cycles.
Combining his extensive research into time magic at the Crystal Palace, he discovered the possibility of reshaping the dead file that Rudeus had mentioned.
"Wait, even if the methods of this world don't work, surely the conceptual abilities of suspicion and exaggeration can be useful? With such a long period of time, as long as we keep thinking, we should be able to solve the problem of lifespan, right?"
Just then, my past self asked the question.
"I've also tried these two conceptual abilities, and I've confirmed that they don't work. As for the reason, according to Rudeus's future speculation, it might be related to the otherworldly summoning and transfer magic that allowed us to sneak into this world..."
The alien god answered the questions of his past self, and in the cycle he arrived at, he had already thoroughly studied many things.
Time magic was the only solution he found, but time magic alone was not enough; he needed to go back to the past in previous cycles.
"After trying to connect to the Crystal Palace and accumulating a lot of failed experiences, I finally succeeded in reaching this loop."
The purpose was to tell my past self that I shouldn't linger in this world any longer; I had to go back and leave.
"Will the problem of lifespan be solved after leaving this world?"
Broly asked the question.
"This is something you should figure out how to solve. All adversity stems from your own incompetence. I have done the best I can. The rest is up to you. If you want to experience the pain of losing a loved one, then do nothing. If you don't want to, then solve this problem."
The alien god reprimanded Broly.
"Brother Broly, well, in the future, after experiencing the death of his loved ones in the loop, his personality became somewhat paranoid. He attributed the fact that Alice and Ariel would die of old age to his own lack of ability."
Although my brother said that Saiyans don't have the ability to extend other people's lifespans, it was no use; Broly wouldn't listen to reason...
Old Aisha said.
"That's why he was thinking about how to unleash his latent power from past lives before he came here. Even if the power of a Super Saiyan isn't actually needed in this world, it might be needed sometime after he leaves this world."
"You can't wait until you're about to poop to look for toilet paper."
"I think this is called 'planning ahead'!"
In the future, each of the three girls—Loki, Shiruffy, and Shizuka—said a sentence.
"If you can't keep your wife alive, then don't open any Crystal Palace. Since you've taken someone else as your wife, take responsibility for her. Even if she's dead, bring her back to life and be happy forever."
According to Broly, the other god, he should be omniscient and omnipotent, but how could that be possible? Saiyans are not creator gods.
However, the pressure he faces in future iterations, along with the thought of his wife possibly dying of old age, has spurred Broly's ambition in this iteration.
"After returning to the Dragon Ball world, try to go to Earth or Namek to find the Dragon Balls and see if you can make a wish to obtain Shenron's ability to grant other people's wishes."
When you travel to other worlds, don't let any useful rules or abilities slip by; they might be the key to avoiding misfortune!
"Yes, I know about my future self."
The alien patted Broly on the shoulder, feeling very pleased with his past self.
"Of course, I'm letting you go back, but not in this cycle. There are some things you need to do before you leave this world."
"What is it?"
"The most important thing is to build a strong enough protective force to guard against the possibility that the gods might send apostles to kill Loki and the others if they see a future that is not favorable to them."
"Huh?"
"Don't be surprised, given that guy's nature, he'll definitely do it."
After the alien god finished speaking, he looked at the dragon god.
"Orstered, here you go."
He took out a parchment scroll and handed it over.
"What is this?"
"The helmet blueprint that helps weaken the curse on you is a special item developed by the team led by Cliff, the vice president of the Alien Kingdom Research Institute in the 290th playthrough. It can weaken your curse to the point that others are willing to believe you."
Having this item allows you to use your memories from previous playthroughs to bestow favors on certain people, thereby building up your power. The establishment of the Otherworldly Kingdom owes much to you, who will wear this magical helmet in future playthroughs.
"Also, this is the magic to extract the Dragon Ball treasure from Percius's body. You've already figured it out in future iterations, so I'm bringing it to you."
As Broly spoke, he handed over another drawing, which depicted intricate magic runes.
"You mean I have to memorize all of this within three hours?"
"Is this all the time you have for this playthrough?"
"Yes, um, why didn't you come sooner?"
"I would have liked to come sooner, but this is not something I can control. Magic that allows you to go back in time is full of coincidences. How many times do you think I tried before I succeeded this time?"
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Now, I need to go find Rudeus."
"Hey, why are you going to see my brother?"
Little Aisha asked the alien god Broly out of curiosity.
"Your brother is an honest man. He said that if I gave him a childhood sweetheart, he would do anything for me every time I went back in time. Rudy deserves a lot of credit for the development of time magic. And I promised him that after I went back in time, I would send him a magical image of my deceased wife."
Broly patted little Aisha's head and then called to his wives from the previous timeline, preparing to leave Dragon Roar Mountain and head to Buena Village to visit Rudeus.
"Wait, I have a question. After arriving in the future for so long, haven't I ever gone back to my original world?"
Before Shizuka Nanahoshi left in the future, she hurriedly asked the question.
"I tried, but failed."
Broly, the alien god, answered her.
"The reason is that in the distant future of this world, during the time of the reborn god, someone related to me influenced my return, and I won't say who that person is."
The future Shizuka Nanahoshi waved to her past self and then flew away with the alien god Broly. The robes they wore were actually the latest magic robes from the future, with built-in flight capabilities.
. . . . .
After visiting Rudeus in this timeline, capturing heartwarming moments of Rudeus spending time with his wife and daughter, and then converting his aura into magical energy to send to future timelines, Broly returned to his home in this previous timeline.
"Mom, take care of yourself."
Aisha hugged her mother before reluctantly leaving.
Next, at Silphie's house, the same scene unfolds.
Finally, there's Luo Qixi.
"Time is running out."
"Being able to see my former family members makes my life complete."
"You guys are doing well, but I'm in a terrible situation."
Shizuka Nanahoshi sighed.
"Cunning! Foul! How could you do this? I was the winner, so why were you able to cheat like this, coming back from the distant future to this point in time?!"
Before Broly and the others in the future time loop could rewind, the little god appeared before them and immediately began to berate Broly and the others.
"Look, this guy's getting anxious."
"Is it worth it, future alien god? You should know that there are no parallel universes in this world. By returning here and changing the past, you have erased all possibilities from the present to your future."
The god and the human questioned him.
"Of course I know that."
"Then why do it at all?"
"Because Alice is dead, Ariel is dead, and Aisha will die soon too."
"As long as we kill the Dragon God, all problems will be solved, and they will live in this era forever."
"You're right, but the Dragon God has a better relationship with our family."
"Just because of this, you're going to erase your own future?"
The little god looked at the alien god in disbelief and then spoke to the future Luo Qixi and the others.
"Do you people realize that by doing this, all the beautiful memories and past that you have created from this point in time into the future will disappear and become nothingness?"
"Yes, I know. What's wrong?"
Luo Qixi and the others looked at the little god with curiosity and asked him a question.
"Are you really content with this?"
The reaction of Loki and the others was unbelievable to the little god. Things shouldn't have turned out this way. These people should have helped Him persuade the future Broly.
"Although we are reluctant to see him go, we still support Broly."
Luo Qixi said.
"Even though we will disappear in the future, we are still alive now, and as long as we are alive, we can definitely create new and beautiful memories."
Hilfi's words were still full of beauty.
"To put it simply, my biggest regret in this life is that I was never able to be a mother. Instead, I am trapped in the endless cycle of reincarnation, unable to fulfill my wish to become a mother."
Aisha said succinctly.
"I think……"
Shizuka Nanahoshi was even more direct, stating directly that she wanted to become an adult.
Little God: "..."
Is it Broly's fault that he never grew up?
Does wanting to be a mother, wanting to be a woman, mean you have to be Broly?
Countless swear words were left unsaid because time had rewound.
Broly, the alien god, and his wife, holding hands, disappeared into the six-faced world of the 54th cycle.
Their existence has been completely erased, and their future will never happen again.
. . . .
"Can't we control time if we go back in time?"
"According to the research, it should be possible in the end, what happened?"
"Could we arrange it so that when we're the same age, you leave this world and we can grow up together? And once we're grown up, we can have children..."
"Uh, Alice, this might not work."
"Ah, why?"
"Have you forgotten when Ariel joined Crystal Palace? Unless you're going to kick her out of Crystal Palace."
"Oh, I almost forgot, what's the earliest playthrough?"
"Fifty-fourth time, I guess."
"Then let's do it fifty-fourth time."
This is a conversation between the alien god Broly and his 26-year-old wife Alice. After excluding the loss of happiness points, none of his other wives have any objections to this.
"Brother Broly, everything is ready."
Many years passed after Alice died.
Finally, the elderly Rudius came and told him that everything was ready.
"Then, let's get ready to go."
Standing inside the spacetime magic circle, a large number of magicians from the Otherworld began to make final adjustments to the spacetime magic circle.
"Gilead, shall we go back to the past together?"
Gilead shook his head at Broly's invitation.
"I will guard Alice's tomb for this loop."
"Broly, good luck."
Dragon God Orstide bid his final farewell. He knew that if the plan succeeded, the future that had continued to this point would disappear, but he did not hesitate.
Thank you for your kind words.
The portal to time and space magic has opened.
"Oh no, the magic required to go back in time is too vast, and we don't seem to have enough. Broly, come out first."
"Not enough? Then I'll fill in the missing parts."
Broly transforms into a Super Saiyan, converting his powerful ki into magical energy. He also uses Ki-Stealing Technique to plunder the magical energy of the entire world to replenish his own, and the time magic connecting the Crystal Palace is successfully activated.
"Did it work?"
Broly and his four wives, who had traveled back in time with him, were enveloped in a dark red ball of magic.
"Success! The number of playthroughs in the Crystal Palace is decreasing."
"We're almost at our 54th playthrough. Everyone, get ready to land. Oh, and once we get there, cooperate a bit and act out our past selves."
The group was speechless, but they still agreed. After the red magic ball completely dissipated, they arrived at Dragon Roar Mountain in the 54th cycle, which seemed to be right at the time of the cycle recurrence battle.
Oh, my past self was so carefree.
[My younger self was so energetic!]
[Is green hair or white hair better looking? Broly thinks they both look good, it's so frustrating.]
The wives each had their own thoughts, but Broly immediately got into character and started acting: "Looks like we teleported to the right place this time."
(End of this chapter)
