"New Nak? Does such a planet even exist?" Jaco sounded genuinely confused.
"It definitely does, and it's still within the Milky Way Galaxy. You just need to find it."
In the original tiline, North Kai could roughly sense the location of New Nak, which ant it had never left the Milky Way's range.
Since it was still part of the Milky Way, it fell under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Patrol. Finding it shouldn't be a problem.
"I see. I'll look up its coordinates in our database."
The waiting made Levos anxious.
He realized now he had been stuck in a ntal trap all along, thinking only Goku could change this world's fate.
But there were other ways to find New Nak's location, like asking the Galactic Patrol, or even contacting North Kai or the Supre Kai.
Speaking of which, he wondered if Shin, the current Supre Kai, had co to Earth to stop Babidi from reviving Majin Buu.
Shin, who inherited his title only because the Grand Supre Kai was absorbed by Buu and the other four Supre Kais were killed, had always been a bit unreliable, but his importance was second only to the Dragon Balls themselves.
The Elder Supre Kai had been sealed inside the Z Sword for countless years, and after his disappearance, the position automatically passed down to Shin, linking his life to that of the God of Destruction.
Co to think of it, Beerus had incredible luck.
Back then, when the Grand Supre Kai led his four apprentice Supre Kais to battle Majin Buu, he wasn't killed but absorbed, which indirectly spared the slumbering God of Destruction.
But Beerus's good fortune had finally run its course.
The current Supre Kai, Shin, though kind-hearted, was notoriously reckless.
In the Future Trunks tiline, he had sacrificed himself while battling Dabura.
In the main tiline, he ignored Beerus's warnings and barged into the Future Trunks world to fight Zamasu.
Levos was genuinely worried that this guy would impulsively charge in and pick a fight with Babidi.
Even with a battle power in the hundreds of millions, the Supre Kai was no match for Dabura, let alone Majin Buu.
Losing a fight wasn't the problem. It was the fact that if he got killed, Beerus would die too.
And with Beerus gone, Whis would enter his dormant state, which would plunge the world into true despair.
The thought made Levos deeply uneasy.
But for now, he had no way of contacting the Supre Kai. He'd have to ask rus later.
The silence was finally broken when Jaco's voice ca through with good news.
"I found the coordinates of the planet you ntioned. Did you want to head there now? What do you need to do?"
"How long will it take you to get there?"
If Jaco wouldn't arrive until after three days, the wishes on Porunga would need to change. The priority would shift to restoring Earth first.
But if he could make it within three days, then reviving Kami and Piccolo would remain the top priority.
While it was possible to appoint a new Guardian from among the Nakians, Levos wasn't sure how long that process would take.
Otherwise, he'd prefer to have Dende take over as Earth's new Guardian.
Dende could fully upgrade the Earth's Dragon Balls.
Levos also wondered whether the Nakian Dragon Balls in this tiline had already been enhanced by the new Grand Elder.
In the original Majin Buu saga, the Earthlings who were killed by Buu were revived using the upgraded Porunga, which could revive multiple people at once.
If this world's Porunga was also upgraded, it would solve a lot of problems.
Even if it wasn't, the Nakian Dragon Balls were still Levos's greatest hope.
"It'll take about three days to get there. That's already the fastest ship the Galactic Patrol has!" Jaco said seriously.
Three days.
Levos felt his chest tighten.
But thinking optimistically, Babidi's martial arts tournant might last more than a single day.
If they could sohow stretch the tournant for a full day, there might still be a chance.
Levos imdiately relayed all the necessary details about the Nakian Dragon Balls and explained both wish scenarios to Jaco.
"If Earth's destroyed by the ti you make the wish, then your first priority is to restore the planet. After that, revive everyone on Earth who died within the past twenty-five years. If mass resurrection isn't possible, then prioritize Bulma and Son Goku. Once Goku's revived, have him bring a Nakian nad Dende to Earth to assu the role of Guardian."
Bulma needed to be revived because she knew Levos's plan and had critical tools like the Dragon Radar and the heart virus antidote.
Reviving Goku ant he could use Instant Transmission to quickly gather the Dragon Balls.
He was probably still training in Other World and would be a major asset once he returned.
And Dende's importance went without saying.
"If the Earth's still intact when you make the wish, then first try to revive everyone at once. If that doesn't work, prioritize reviving Kami and Piccolo, followed by Son Goku and Vegeta. That's all you need from , right?" Jaco double-checked.
"If things go the way I expect, then yes, that's all for now."
Having a communication line open to Jaco finally eased Levos's nerves a little.
"Alright, I'm heading out now!"
"Good luck, Jaco!"
After ending the call with Jaco, Levos quickly dialed the Galactic Patrol Headquarters again.
"Hello, please connect to rus."
Beep… beep…
"This is rus."
Levos perked up imdiately when he heard the voice.
"Officer rus, this is an ergency. I'll get straight to the point. Please forgive my abruptness."
"No problem, I appreciate people who are direct."
rus's tone was polite and gentle.
Levos naturally pictured the calm, elegant deanor typical of the angel race.
"I'd like to ask you to help contact your brother, Whis."
"So, you've already figured out my true identity."
rus didn't sound surprised at all.
"Sorry, but I really don't have any other options."
"No need to apologize. It was my choice to hide it. But I can't help you."
"Why not?" Levos instinctively blurted out.
"Because my brother… fell into dormancy six months ago."
"What?! Don't tell Lord Beerus was killed?"
At this point, Levos's shock couldn't even be described with words.
Beerus, the strongest in the universe, had been killed?
"Lord Beerus never left his planet. The problem wasn't on his side."
"Then… you an the current Supre Kai was killed by Babidi's group?"
Levos imdiately thought of the worst-case scenario.
Had Shin charged in recklessly as usual, directly confronting Babidi without backup?
If he'd dragged Kibito along just to die, not only would Beerus and Whis vanish, but they would've wasted the Potara earrings too.
Levos was speechless.
"Babidi? That na sounds familiar. But no, the Supre Kai wasn't killed by him. The one who did it was a Saiyan who destroyed the South Galaxy."
Of course. The Supre Kai is always the weak link.
No wonder Whis had been unreachable all this ti.
Levos's mind raced. A Saiyan who destroyed the South Galaxy?
Wasn't that Broly's old movie version?
And the old Broly was absolutely busted, a walking glitch.
His power scaled exponentially as he aged.
In this tiline, more than ten years had passed since the original Majin Buu saga.
Which ant Broly's power had likely multiplied by tens of thousands, maybe even more.
How strong was he now?
The Majin Buu crisis hadn't even been resolved yet, and now Broly was suddenly in the picture?
And this Broly had the purest, most violent Saiyan bloodlust, a true villain through and through.
"Wait, I heard you've been chasing a group of escaped prisoners from the Galactic Prison. One of them wouldn't happen to be… Moro, right?" Levos probed carefully.
"You even know the secret connection between the Supre Kais and Gods of Destruction… no surprise you're aware of Moro's escape too."
For the first ti, there was a hint of curiosity in rus's voice.
Levos was beyond frustrated.
In this tiline, without the main protagonist Goku for over twenty years, it wasn't that new enemies hadn't appeared, it was that they had all piled up.
Of course, not all the big bosses were still around. At least Frieza and Cell should be out of the picture.
This Earth never had the Dragon Balls needed to resurrect Frieza.
And Cell had already traveled to the main tiline.
Wait, speaking of Cell, a terrifying thought suddenly struck Levos.
Could that Red Ribbon Army post about buying sodas and sandwich cookies actually be preparing for Dr. Gero's grandson?
Seriously?
Was the universe really going to stack every single boss fight in the sa tiline?
If he were the Earth itself, Levos would just self-destruct on the spot.
Forget this. I quit.
He glanced at Bulma beside him, her expression soft and peaceful as she allowed herself to believe, just for a mont, that there was still hope for the future.
Levos couldn't bring himself to shatter that illusion with the brutal truth.
