章節 167: Chapter 167

While the healed Demigra was in the process of destroying the time vault, mini 21 and I slowly flew around and gathered, XKakarot, and both Vegetas before carefully waking them up since we didn't wish for them to get even more injured than they currently were.

XGoku-"Ugh, I feel terrible!"

Vegeta-"This pain is unbearable, what did Demigra do to us!?"

XVegeta-"I can barely even move my body, I haven't been this injured since Namek."

Trunks-"Ugh, Sage, 21, where is Chronoa and how bad is the situation?"

When Trunks asked that question, the other 3 went quiet and looked over at us.

21-"Chronoa is dead, however, what's worse is that Demigra has managed to fully heal and he's about the destroy the time vault."

The moment she finished speaking, I could see how everyone's faces showed signs of desperation, while Trunks on the other hand looked more angry than desperate.

Vegeta-"So, we lost, huh."

XVegeta-"Tch, stop that nonsense, as long as we're still alive we haven't lost yet!"

XGoku-"I agree with you Vegeta, but with our situation, how do you expect us to fight? Even talking is a struggle itself, let alone fighting, we can't win every battle Vegeta."

Trunks-"So all we can do now is wait until we get erased?"

Sage-"Probably, but before we do, there is something I want to attempt first."

XVegeta-"Tsk, at this point I'll agree with anything, so lay it on us."

Sage-"I wish to try the Super Saiyan God Ritual."

I could see signs of surprise and hope appear on their face, though that was quickly replaced with sadness.

Vegeta-"It's honestly not a bad idea, but we don't have enough candidates, we're missing one, so it won't work."

Sage-"Yeah, but 21 can be a substitute, and while she may not be a Saiyan, she does have Saiyan DNA, so there's a possibility it might work. That's why I said it's a desperate last attempt, we've got nothing to lose, so might as well give it a try."

After that, no one bothered trying to stop my crazy idea, and after getting into a circle we all held our hands together, while everyone started transferring their ki into my body, beginning the Super Saiyan God ritual.

When everyone's ki arrived in my body, I could sense how everyone's ki except 21's joined with my own ki easily, and while at first 21's ki was very chaotic, it was suppressed by everyone's ki until it eventually calmed down and join together with the rest. Once that happened, I could feel something special begin happening with my ki, however, while that happened I suddenly sensed a presence appear in my body, I didn't know what it was or where it came from, though it didn't matter as I was immediately about to force out of my body.

???-'Calm down young Saiyan, in order for the ritual to succeed, I am needed.'

I don't remember this ever being mentioned when Kakarot explained to me the process of undergoing the ritual, however, through my past life knowledge, I've heard and read about rumors of the first Super Saiyan God's spirit is needed for the ritual to succeed.

Sage-'Yamoshi?'

Yamoshi-'I'm surprised, you actually knew my name, the last one who did this ceremony, didn't even notice my presence, let alone know about me.'

Sage-'Well, as much as I would be interested in talking to you, can you hurry up the ritual, the fate of reality is kinda resting on whether this can succeed or not!'

Yamoshi-'I know, that's why I'm going as fast as I can, but I've only just finished a Quarter of it, you're mortal ki is far-far greater than the previous user, so it's going to take time to, however, there is some bad news about the ritual.'

Sage-'Don't tell me it won't work?'

Yamoshi-'No it'll work, but not fully. You see this ritual is only supposed to work with 6 righteous Saiyans, however, there're only 4, you and that woman are not considered righteous like the other 3. So the ritual will only be half completed at best.'

Sage-'If that's true shouldn't the ritual not work at all?'

Yamoshi-'Normally you're correct, but by sacrificing my spirit, I can substitute the remaining 2 Saiyans, but even so, it won't count as a true ritual, so you won't fully ascend into godhood like me or the previous user.'

Sage-'So then was this ritual a waste or not?'

Yamoshi-'Let me quickly explain, the ritual is meant to ascend a Saiyan's ki, body, and soul into godhood, you're ki is currently in the process of that right now, and somehow your soul is even more powerful than a gods, however, that is good, otherwise this ritual wouldn't even work in the first place. The problem is your body, your body will stay mortal, and a mortal's body simply can't contain god ki, even though you have probably the strongest physique among Saiyans, you are no different, your body will be destroyed from trying to contain god ki.'

Sage-'So this ritual really was pointless.'

Yamoshi-'I wouldn't say pointless, as even though your body will be destroyed, it won't be immediate, you'll still be capable of killing that man if you're quick enough, however, just a head's up, the more power you use the faster your body will be destroyed.'

Sage-'So all I must do is kill Demigra quickly, that should be doable, hopefully.'

Yamoshi-'It seems it's time for me to truly disappear, it was an enjoyable last chat, but I've got nothing left, my spirit is already gone, I just hope you can manage to destroy that man.'

The moment he went quiet, I felt the ki within my body suddenly go silent before erupting violently as it started ravaging the inside of my body, and as painful as it was, it couldn't compare to the pain I felt that Demigra inflicted on me.

Sage-'I will kill him, Yamoshi.'

Opening my eyes, the first thing I notice is how the injuries I had accumulated disappeared, though with that god ki inside me it wouldn't take long for those to appear again, however, the amount of power that I felt in my control, was otherworldly, to say the least.

I could feel the illusory constraints of time around me nearly collapse with just a simple wave of my hand, with this power, I had a feeling that I could destroy an entire timeline if I truly wished to.

Sage-'Now I understand what Kakarot meant when he said he never knew a world like this existed.'

As much as I wanted to test my power, I could feel the time limit placed on me by my own body, and with an estimate, I could probably live for another hour currently, but I'm barely even using any strength, so I'm sure my fight with Demigra with cause it to massively decrease.

21-"It seemed like the ritual was a success, now stop wasting time and go and confront Demigra!"

After giving everyone a look, I smirked and flashed away from my spot, moving so quickly that I had momentarily caused a hole in the timeline to appear before it repaired itself.

Landing next to Demigra who had almost managed to destroy the time vault, he quickly turned around when he noticed my arrival, though he didn't look intimidated one bit.

Demigra-"It seems like you somehow tried becoming a god yet only succeeded halfway, even if I don't kill you, your own power will destroy your body, which I find quite humorous."

Sage-"You're right about that, I don't have much longer to live, but that's fine, I'll have already killed you before I've reached my limit, so there's no need to fret."

Smirking at him, I get into my one and only fighting stance and prepare to charge at him.

Demigra-"So be it, after killing you, there will finally be no one who will stop my plan to become a true God!"

With a wave of Demigra's staff, he prepared himself as well, then a second later, we both charged right at each other, starting the last battle that'll decide the fate of reality.
