"I killed him. He attacked us.", said Darc and was very direct. "He dropped this after he turned to ash." He threw the time ring to Chronoa. She caught it and her eyes glimmered.
She was surprised by his word that the defeated the adversary and even returned her a time ring. "Thank you for stopping that guy and retrieving this item. Now, let's close that vortex first." She fiddled around with the time ring and the vortex closed completely now and left no distortion.
Then after she calmed down she looked closer at Darc and Arkis. Slowly her eyes became big. "You! You are a young Shinjin!", she said to Arkis and started laughing happily "Its good to see that there are still some being born." Then she turned around to Darc and looked up to him placing a hand to her chin and thinking. "Weird, I feel like that you don't belong here. Why is that? You were also not mentioned in the time scroll."
Darc his mouth twitched after her words "Haha, you must be mistaken. I was born on earth. So why would I not belong here?", he said to her.
"Hmm, true. You do have this planets mark on you. Well, it shouldn't be anything bad. Thank you again. My name is Chronoa and I am the supreme kai of time.", said Chronoa back and finally revealed her identity.
"Darc and my partner here is called Arkis.", introduced Darc himself and Arkis.
"Supreme Kai of Time?", asked Arkis after hearing her words.
Chronoa was confused "You don't know? There are different types of kai. Some time ago we even had one Supreme Kai for every galaxy and one that overlooked them all. The one that overlooked us was even higher in rank than me. He was a Grand Supreme Kai.", she explained.
"Oh, if it's about that then I can say that I am a grand supreme kai. But how does someone become a kai of time?", said Arkis with a smile.
"Huh?", was the only response Chronoa had to her words.
Darc chuckled. "Arkis is still a little bit unknown to the workings of your race. I found her on a divine world tree in the western galaxy and the tree entrusted her to me. He told me that she was of the grand supreme kai rank as well. But she has no actual duty assigned to her."
Chronoa was flabbergasted by that fact "That´s amazing! Normally a Daikaioh (Grand Supreme Kai) is not born. There is a slim chance, though. But that is so marginal that it's nearly null. After all, even a normal Shinjin that inhabits the rank of a normal kai is born maybe 1 in tens of millions of years. Supreme Kai level Shinjin even less. What color was the fruit?", she explained and asked.
"Rainbow colored with a white golden tinge.", answered Darc immediately.
Chronoa made an even greater shocked face and shortly after started grinning. "No, that is not just...Haha, this is great news!", exclaimed Chronoa and Darc was kind of confused about her happy response.
"That fruit color not only means that she is a Daikaioh but that she also got the potential to become a God of Creation. You must know. There is a God of Destruction in this universe that is responsible for erasing evil planets and the likes. And normally..."
She paused and thought about her words so that she didn't give Darc any information about the life-link that the supreme kai had with the gods of destruction. But Darc knew about that so it didn't matter much.
"...They are accompanied by a Supreme Kai that takes the work for creating planets where live prospers. But there is a higher form of that status. And that being is a God of Creation. There hasn't been one in a long time. There existed one maybe when this universe still was in its infant stage. It is not even stated if the God of Creation only watches over one universe or actually takes responsibility for all universes. "
After finishing her long explanation, Chronoa now looked up Arkis more carefully and noticed her golden potara.
"Hmm, golden earrings. Did you give her those? Also since you were the one who found her andshe didn't have any kai training yet nor any duty assigned to her, she should still be at the Supreme Kai level in authority. A more powerful one at least. But to become a Daikaioh she will have to train at the current Kaioshin planet and be assigned that role. Only then will she be able to go further to become a God. That is how I became a Supreme Kaioshin of Time. I was assigned to take care of the Divine Time-Bird TokiToki and after he grew up I was officially assigned the duty of Supreme Kai of Time."
Arkis nodded after understanding how the hierarchy worked. But what would Chronoa end up as if she went higher? God of Time?
"Not really. I gave her blue ones since I thought it would go against some rules or something if I gave her supreme kai earrings? I am not sure how they really work so I gave her some with my favorite color for the meantime until she gets hers. But they instantly changed to golden ones.", explained Darc after her question with the earrings.
"I see, so my conjecture was true. Since she is a supreme kai her earrings changed into real potara.", said Chronoa.
At hearing those words Arkis got curious. Darc liked the color blue? She touched her earrings softly with her hands and changed their color back to blue as if it was nothing.
"Huh, you just can change their color as you like?", exclaimed and asked Darc.
"Oh, yeah we can do that. But the basic color is golden. Whereas every other color symbolizes ones preference. It's more about the power the potara of an official supreme kai hold and not its color. But we do have some kind of ritual to give kai in training colored earrings where there is no gold seen at all. They are mostly a combination with silver. Like silver metal and a green pearl.", said Chronoa and played around with her own potara and changed their colors as a demonstration. But shortly after reverted them back to her golden ones.
"I see.", said Darc and then smiled at Arkis. "You don't need to change them to blue just because it's my favorite color, you know?"
"I actually like the color. So it's alright. It reminds me of your eyes, Darc.", she answered with a very bright smile and looked very beautiful at that moment.
That was surprised Darc and he had a slight blush on his face after her compliment.
´Damn, focus. Do not let yourself get caught in the storm´, he thought.
Chronoa saw that and also clapped her hands. "Ohh~ Love is so romantic.", she said and completely misread their relationship. She was one of the very few Kaioshin that actually had romantic interests as well and acted as if she never was genderless. She did like Bardock for his bad boy vibe. That, more often than not brought her into a fight with Toki-Toki who was jealous for no reason.
"Alright, Chronoa. Since you are finished here are you going to go back now?", asked Darc and wondered how long this conversation was going to keep going. He also tried to divert the topic.
"Oh, I nearly forgot about that. I enjoyed the talking so much. Yep, I will go back since I still have a lot of work do.", she said to him.
"Then why don't you take Darc with you?", came from the side again.
This time everyone was surprised to see a man with white hair stand close to them and holding a scepter.
"Whis! You scared me! And what do you mean with taking him with me?", asked Chronoa after seeing who the person was.
Darc, on the other hand, became a little bit nervous after seeing the angel of this universe also right here in front of him.
Whis only chuckled lightly. "Well, I should introduce myself first. I am called Whis. I am the attendant of the current God of Destruction you talked about prior. And what I mean with my words Chronoa is very easy to explain. Darc here used destruction energy to erase the invader from the future. I did ignore it the first time but this time I had to come here since and look how much damage was done.", explained Whis and introduced himself.
Arkis had a slight glimmer in her eyes since what Darc said previously was actually the truth but didn't mention such a being.
"He used destruction energy? How can that be?", she asked in bewilderment.
"Darc, can you please show her?", demanded Whis.
Darc only sighed. "I ain't got no choice in that, right?", he asked back and Whis only smiled.
Then Darc sighed and clad himself in god ki. Chronoa looked at this in shock. Once again she saw something amazing. A human that was in tune with godly energy.
"He is a demi-god?", she asked.
"Yes, he is still young and weak but still strong enough. Since he helped you out he could help you with your work. Like that he can also probably become stronger in the process." - Whis
Chronoa nodded "Good. Hey Darc. Now you and Arkis will be working with me. Is that alright?", she asked and already was happy to get such useful helper that could lessen her burden.
Darc looked a little bit helplessly at her "I guess its alright. But don't expect me to be always there.", he said and only agreed partly.
"And now to you Arkis. It's very nice to meet you. It actually surprised me a lot after I saw you. With you, this universe will prosper greatly.", said Whis and smiled brightly with arched up brows. It looks like he was very fond of her since she had the potential to become a god that was extinct to this universe.
He also had a positive impression from Darc. He did save the western galaxy and is stabilizing it now. And the higher the standard was in this universe, the better the rating. And Whis knew about the matter that certain universes that didn't get the quota were erased. So it made him very happy. After all, Beerus wasn't so fond of working at all. But at the same time, he didn't elaborate on that matter.
After he told what he wanted, Whis excused himself as fast as he came and Chronoa teleported the three of them to the time nest where she explained how the workings of her job went since it basically now became Darc his job.
At the same time, Arkis could get her fundamental knowledge about her race so that she may get her training and become the god she has the potential for.
