Chapter 519: Deceived by My Future Self, the Human God's Golden Requiem

~25 min read 4,940 words

"Mirror Magic. The magic of this world is indeed wondrous, but it hasn't reached the level of creating super-spec individuals like us. And as for that Human God fellow, does he even deserve to possess me?"

The Outsider God's attitude left Broly somewhat doubtful. The Human God possessing his future self was the greatest possibility he could think of.

After all, the current Human God had done similar things before, having once replaced the First Human God. Perhaps he still had that ability.

Ambushing himself in the future, stealing his own body, then returning from the future to the present to kill himself—things like that.

"However, there is one thing you got right. I did come from the future." Seeing Broly remain silent, the Outsider God smiled and asked, "Don't you believe my words?"

"Should I believe you?"

While speaking with the Outsider God, Broly was secretly recovering his Qi.

"I have evidence to prove this."

However, the Outsider God said.

"What evidence?"

Broly frowned, looking at the Outsider God who looked exactly like him, differing only in hair color, and asked.

"The me from past loops. Think carefully with your head. The strongest concept we once obtained from Alteus—did it have no effect at all in our battle?"

The Outsider God pointed a finger at his own temple and said to Broly.

"So what if it did? That ability has never had any effect."

"Wrong. It isn't that it couldn't have an effect, but rather that until now you've never encountered an opponent stronger than yourself. But me—do you think I, who have beaten you to the point where you only dare secretly recover your state under my eyelids, am not stronger than you?"

Broly was speechless. The fellow before him was indeed strong, crushing him in every aspect. After fighting for so long, only that last Compressed Energy Bullet had any effect, yet the opponent seemed perfectly fine, with only torn clothes.

"And the reason it had no effect in our battle is that this concept ability never regarded us two as different individuals."

"In the eyes of this concept ability, our fight is no different than left hand fighting right hand. That is the greatest reason it had no effect."

"Sounds reasonable, but I don't believe it. You could still be the Human God possessing my future self and obtaining my memories."

"I've said it—the Human God is trash and doesn't have that ability. With the Crystal Palace, he simply can't do this."

The Outsider God was already somewhat wanting to beat himself up, and Broly could sense it—the calm before the storm.

"Then how should I make you believe me?"

The Outsider God asked, suppressing the impulse to beat himself up.

"If you really are me, you couldn't possibly kill Ellis."

Broly gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha, so you think I killed Ellis?"

Hearing this, the Outsider God laughed.

"Merely freezing someone doesn't kill them. Why don't you check the Crystal Palace Panel first to see if Ellis is dead or not."

Hearing this, Broly was stunned, then immediately checked.

Upon looking, Roxy and the others had only left the state capable of producing Happiness Points; there was no sign of death.

"But even if she didn't die, why did you have your people attack Ellis and the others? And as for Orsted..."

Broly hadn't finished speaking when the Outsider God before him directly interrupted him, giving the answer: "Orsted didn't die either. I merely sealed him with Barrier Magic."

"As for attacking Ellis and the others, it was to put pressure on my past self—that is, your present self—thereby forcing you to enter the Super Saiyan state."

"Forget it. Come back with me to Dragon Roar Mountain now. If I say more, you'll still doubt me. Better to let you go back and witness the facts with your own eyes."

Saying this, the Outsider God condensed a ball of Qi in his hand and threw it at Broly. Broly didn't have time to dodge and was hit directly, but it wasn't an attack—just a ball of gentle Qi. Upon touching Broly, it merged into him without any delay, as if it had always been Broly's own Qi, quickly restoring his overexerted body.

Immediately after, Broly saw the Outsider God take out a set of intact clothes from thin air and put them on himself.

"You have the Crystal Palace, and I have one too. Do you need me to give you a suitable set of clothes?"

In response, Broly shook his head, took out his own clothes and put them on, then flew back with the other party.

When they returned to Dragon Roar Mountain, the battle on this side was still ongoing.

"Stop. I'm done on my side."

Hearing his words, both the Black Armor Swordsman and the other two Black Robe Masked Men stopped.

Ghislaine was still wanting to attack the Black Armor Swordsman, but the Outsider God stepped forward and grabbed her long sword.

"Broly, that fellow killed Ellis!"

Ghislaine shouted angrily at the Outsider God, but the Outsider God only said【Ellis is not dead】, and that calmed the Big Dog Girl down.

The Outsider God raised his hand toward the ice sculpture where Ellis was frozen. The light of a Magic Circle appeared beneath the ice sculpture, the temperature rose, and the ice sculpture quickly melted.

"Cough, cough~"

After breaking free, Ellis coughed twice, then panted heavily.

Frozen in ice, conscious, but unable to move her body and still somewhat cold.

Also, breathing was difficult. If she had been rescued any slower, she would have suffocated.

"Thank you, Broly. I knew you could beat that masked fellow..."

Ellis said after catching her breath.

"Those words don't make me happy at all."

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Ellis, I am Broly."

The Saiyan boy fell from the sky at this moment.

"Huh? Why are there two Brolys?"

Roxy and the others were all somewhat dazed at this time.

"I am Broly."

Broly spoke up again to declare.

"And I am the masked fellow Ellis spoke of, but I am also Broly—just Broly from the future."

The Foreign God gave a brief explanation.

"What on earth is going on?"

Roxy and the others were utterly bewildered.

"Before answering that question, let's first get Orsted back."

The Foreign God extended a hand toward Dragon Roar Mountain; Gravity Magic appeared once more, manifesting an attractive force, and forcibly sucked back the Dragon God who had been blown away and lay breathless like a corpse.

The Dragon God was naturally not dead, merely covered from head to toe in strands of black Magic Patterns, completely unable to move or speak, only staring wide-eyed at everyone.

"Release."

With the Foreign God's words, the sealing restraint was lifted; the freed Orsted glanced at the Foreign God, then at Broly, and asked Broly directly: "Can you tell me what this is about?"

"He says he's the future me."

Broly pointed at the Foreign God and stated it concisely.

Orsted fell silent; he couldn't make sense of the situation before him either, so he offered no opinion, merely watching the Foreign God.

"Everyone, take off your masks and helmets. Enhancing the past me's strength has been achieved, so there's no longer any need to hide our identities."

The four who had followed along heard this and nodded, one by one throwing back their hoods, removing their masks, and of course, their helmets as well.

"Eh, you're Nanahoshi-nee, so who's the Nanahoshi-nee behind me?"

Aisha looked at the Nanahoshi Shizuka opposite, then turned back to look at the Nanahoshi Shizuka on this side, and her eyes went wide instantly.

"That's naturally your Nanahoshi-nee as well."

The future Nanahoshi Shizuka said, gazing gently at the childhood Aisha.

"Ah, there's an extra Roxy-nee too, and this white-haired one looks just like Sylphy-nee!"

Aisha exclaimed again.

"Resemblance is only natural, because we all count as the same person, except we're you from the future."

The future Roxy said.

"Hmm, my white hair? That's because the future me once exhausted my Magic Power completely, and then my hair color turned out like this."

The Sylphy who looked to be of a young wife's age, looking at her past self who was staring wide-eyed and asking about her hair color, proceeded to explain for her past self.

"As expected, I don't age in this world."

"Eternal youth, isn't that a good thing?"

The dialogue between the two Nanahoshi Shizukas was like a mirror image.

"Who are you?"

Aisha came up to the last black-armored Swordsman to remove her helmet, looked up at her, and asked.

"Me? I happen to share the same name as you, little girl."

The Swordsman, her features somewhat weathered but still revealing the charm of her youth, smiled at her past self.

"Are you really Aisha, the Aisha grown up from the future?"

Eris and Ghislaine stared wide-eyed, directly turning their gazes toward the strong enemy they had just faced, and pressed their inquiry.

"Genuine article. Eris-nee and Ghislaine-san, didn't you feel my Swordsmanship was somewhat familiar?"

The elderly Aisha said.

"You're so strong, this should all be God Rank, right?"

"The future me holds the title of Magic Sword God!"

Old Aisha burst into hearty laughter, directly announcing her top-tier title.

And now, looking at the extra wives — no, Future Wives.

Even Broly, at this moment, believed the Foreign God's earlier words.

"But why did you from the future come back?"

"Aisha, you're the Magic Sword God; what about me? What is my future, why didn't I come back with you all?"

Eris was extremely concerned about the heights of Swordsmanship her future self could reach, simultaneously looking around, wanting to see if there was a future self hiding here.

"Eris-nee, you're a God Rank master of the Three Major Styles; as for why you didn't come..."

Old Aisha fell silent.

"Because the future you, my wife Eris Boreas, has already died, passing away in June of the 479th Year of the Dragon Calendar, in the 288th Loop, at the age of 74."

The Foreign God took over the conversation and answered this question.

"I died?"

Eris was somewhat surprised, but immediately asked.

"Then what about Ghislaine? Did Ghislaine die too?"

"Ghislaine didn't die; her lifespan is longer than you imagine, but she would choose to stand guard by your tomb after each of your deaths in future loops, becoming your tomb guardian."

The Foreign God looked at the Big Dog Girl; even after reincarnating into the 200-plus loops, she was still not a wife, merely a loyal hound following Eris.

"May I ask how the future Eris died?"

Broly interjected at this moment, his expression utterly grave.

"I know what you mean, but what I want to tell you is that no one harmed Eris."

The Dragon God wanted to speak, but the Foreign God seemed to know what he wanted to say and spoke a step ahead.

"And this wasn't the Human God's doing either; that guy really did nothing, or rather, what He needed to do was already done back in the 20th Loop when He guided me to meet Eris."

"Eris-nee died of natural death; she still had plenty of strength practicing the sword in the morning, returned home and fell asleep in the evening, and simply never woke up again."

Old Aisha continued.

"The Human God of the 20th Loop had long foreseen this scene; Eris is actually His true Apostle. He manipulated various coincidences to deepen our relationship, the purpose being to wait until she passed away naturally of old age, and then we would be unable to accept this result, and then..."

The future Roxy spoke, and looked toward Orsted.

"Then, my time rewind became the method to keep Elinalise alive, right?"

The Dragon God asked.

"Yes, after Elinalise died, in the few subsequent loops, I realized from the start that this was the layout the Human God completed in the twentieth loop. Your time rewind would become our way to let Elinalise continue living. You cannot defeat the Human God, because I will not let you lift the curse of time rewind."

The Foreign God said.

Orsted looked at him in silence, and after a while asked, "I think you haven't fully resigned yourself to fate, have you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"If the future you really fell out with the future me, then I believe the future me would definitely not let his own life reach September of year 407 again."

Hearing this, the Foreign God laughed: "Orsted, my dear friend, whether past or future, you are always so reliable. That's right, after learning the situation, you chose to help me think of a way to let Elinalise continue living, to live for a longer time."

"Perugius's Spirit Apostle, Shivalier of the Void, possesses a freezing ability. Have you tried it?"

"The past Orsted, before we returned here, we had already attempted countless methods.

Broly-san, in future loops, conquered the entire Six-Faced World multiple times, gathering all the knowledge and wisdom of this world, using force to condense the geniuses of an entire world and era for his own use.

Pooling their wisdom and trying every possible way to solve the lifespan problem. This was not just Elinalise-neesan's lifespan problem, but also Ariel-neesan's, and finally mine.

But the result was that whether it was the demon race's reincarnation secret technique, the long-eared race's life-extension magic, or the angel race's freezing secret technique, all of them ended in failure."

"How is that possible? It's just extending the life of a human, prolonging a lifespan."

Orsted could not understand.

"What's the reason? Failure can't be without reason, right?"

He asked.

"Because Elinalise and the others are human, this is the Human Realm, and the Human God is the Human God."

The Foreign God answered this question, without explaining too much, but Orsted understood.

"That guy, the Human God, besides Future Sight and making others trust him, does he have any other abilities?"

"When I couldn't find a way to solve the problem in this world, and tried to learn magic to create new magic to solve the problem.

I touched the truth of this world, and also detected that finding a way to extend the human lifespan within the Six-Faced World was absolutely impossible to realize.

Because as long as one is human, staying in the Human Realm, one must abide by the truth of 'Born human, there is a time when life ends.'

I don't know if this is a rule this world originally had, or if the Human God paid some price to realize it and engraved it into the fundamental rules of this world's operation.

But I know I cannot change the fact that Elinalise will die in year 479, nor that Ariel will pass away two years later, and I will even have to watch Aisha leave my side in the not-too-distant future……"

What the Foreign God Broly experienced was the situation of two human wives passing away one after another, and the remaining human wife Aisha also about to follow in their footsteps.

Elinalise died, he became a Super Saiyan. Ariel died afterwards, and he began searching the world in multiple loops for methods to extend the human lifespan or reincarnate the dead. All who stood in his way were wiped out by him.

The title of Foreign God, in some distant future loops, was far more evil than the Dragon God.

The destruction of many countries was merely because they possessed something Broly wanted.

And Broly is a principled Saiyan; he doesn't like being a robber. So after all other negotiation methods were rejected, he chose the simplest method.

That is to kill all the original owners holding the books or secret techniques he wanted, whether individuals or groups, wipe them all out, and only pick the items up after they became ownerless. That way it doesn't count as robbery.

Of course, the reason he did this was related to the Human God, who had been peaceful in multiple loops, suddenly slapping him in the face with a dogshit lifespan theory, causing his whole mindset to explode and his emotions to spiral out of control.

Of course, now it counts as having returned to normal.

After all, the method to change all this has already been found, because he has already returned to the past.

Not the past of a single loop, but the past of the past loops.

Combined with the Crystal Palace, the long-term magic research let him find the possibility of reshaping the dead save file Rudeus spoke of.

"Wait, even if this world's methods are useless, the conceptual abilities of Fox Doubt and Boastful Play can't be useless, right? With such a long time, as long as one keeps thinking, one should be able to solve the lifespan problem, right?"

Just then, the past self asked.

"I've tried these two conceptual abilities as well, and then I confirmed these two abilities cannot function. As for the reason, according to Future Rudeus's speculation, it might be related to the Regeneration God Miko's otherworldly summoning transfer magic that let us slip into this world……"

The Foreign God answered the past self's question, and the loop he had reached had already researched many things very thoroughly.

Time magic was the only solution he found, but time magic alone wasn't enough; he had to go back to the past of the past loops.

"I attempted to link the Crystal Palace, and after accumulating a vast amount of failed experience, I finally succeeded in reaching this loop.

For the purpose of telling the past loop's self not to continue lingering in this world. We must go back. We must leave this world."

"After leaving this world, will the lifespan problem be solved?"

Broly asked.

"That is something you should go think of a way to solve. All adversity stems from one's own incompetence. I have already done everything within my own limits. The rest is your business. If you want to experience the pain of losing loved ones, then do nothing. If you don't want to, then solve all of this."

The Foreign God reprimanded Broly.

"Broly-san, hmm, the future him, after experiencing the loops where loved ones died, his personality became somewhat obsessive. He attributed the fact that Elinalise and Ariel-neesan would die of natural causes to his own lack of ability.

Although my brother said Saiyans don't have the ability to extend others' lifespans, it was useless. Broly-san simply wouldn't listen to advice……"

Old Aisha said.

"And this is also why, before coming over here, he was thinking of how to stimulate the past loop's own latent power. Even if Super Saiyan power isn't actually needed in this world, who knows, maybe after leaving this world, at some other time in the future it will be needed."

"One can't wait until shit hits the fan to look for toilet paper."

"This seems to be called preparing for a rainy day!"

Future Roxy, Sylphy, and Nanahoshi Shizuka each said a line.

"If there's no way to keep wives from dying, then don't open any Crystal Palace. Since you took others as wives, take responsibility. Even if it's death, save them back to life. Happiness until forever."

According to the Foreign God Broly's words, one should achieve omniscience and omnipotence, but how could such a thing be possible? Saiyans aren't Creator Gods.

But the pressure given by the future loop's self, thinking of the result that his wives might die of natural causes, ignited the fighting spirit in this loop's Broly as well.

"After returning to the Dragon Ball World, think of a way to go to Earth or Namek Star to find the Dragon Balls, see if we can wish for Shenron's ability to grant wishes for others.

Go to other worlds. If you see any useful rule abilities, don't let them slip by. They might be the key abilities to avoid misfortune!"

"Yes, future me, I understand."

The Foreign God patted Broly's shoulder, feeling deeply relieved at his past self.

"Of course, I'm letting you go back, but not you from this loop. Before you leave this world, there are still some things you must do."

"What things?"

"The most important thing is to build a sufficiently powerful guard force, to guard against the Human God possibly sending Apostles to assassinate Roxy and the others after seeing a future unfavorable to himself."

"Eh?"

"Don't be surprised. Given that guy the Human God's nature, he'll definitely do it."

The Foreign God finished speaking and looked at the Dragon God.

"Orsted, here."

He took out a parchment scroll and handed it over.

"What is this?"

"Design blueprints for a helmet that helps weaken the curse on your body, a special tool developed by the team led by the 290th Loop Divine Realm Research Institute Deputy Director Cliff. It can weaken your curse to the extent that people are willing to believe you."

"And once you possess this thing, you can rely on loop memories to bestow favors on some people, thereby building a faction. The establishment of the Divine Realm — you in a future loop wearing this magic tool helmet — is absolutely indispensable."

"Also, this is the magic to extract the Dragon Ball secret treasure from Perugius's body. You in a future loop have already researched it out. I conveniently brought it for you."

The Foreign God Broly spoke, and handed over another blueprint, depicting a complex magic circle charm inside.

"You mean I have to memorize all of this within three hours?"

"There's only this much time left in this loop?"

"Yes. Hmm, why didn't you come earlier?"

"I wanted to come earlier, but this isn't something I can control. The magic to return to past loops is full of contingency. You think I succeeded this one time after how many attempts?"

"Alright, what I needed to explain I've already explained. Next, I have to go find Rudeus."

"Eh, go find my brother to do what?"

Little Aisha curiously asked the Foreign God Broly.

"Your brother is an honest man. Say give him a childhood friend wife, and he'll work like an ox and horse for me every loop. Time magic could be developed — Rudeus's contribution is absolutely indispensable. And I promised him that after returning to the past, I'd transmit a magic shadow image of his late wife to him."

The Foreign God Broly patted Little Aisha's head, then called his wives of this loop, preparing to leave Dragon Roar Mountain and head to Buena Village to visit Rudeus.

"Wait, I want to ask a question. After arriving in the future for so long, have I never gone back to the original world?"

This loop's Nanahoshi Shizuka hurriedly asked before her future self was about to leave with them.

"Tried, but failed."

The Foreign God Broly answered her.

"The reason is that in an even more distant future of this world, the era of the Regeneration God Miko, a person connected to me influenced my return. I won't say who that person is."

The future Nanahoshi Shizuka waved at her past self, then flew off into the sky following the Foreign God Broly. The robes on their bodies were actually the latest model magic robes from the future, with built-in flight function.

After finishing visiting this loop's Rudeus, filming the warm scene of him getting along with his wife and daughter, and converting Qi into magic power to send it to the future loop, the Foreign God Broly returned to his home of this loop.

"Mother, take care of yourself."

Aisha embraced her mother, then reluctantly left.

Next was Sylphy's home, the same scene.

Finally was Roxy.

"Not much time left, huh."

"Being able to see my family once more, this life has no regrets."

"You guys have it good. I'm the miserable one."

Nanahoshi Shizuka sighed.

"Cunning, foul play. How can you people be like this? Clearly I'm the one who won, so why can you be so shameless, returning to this time point from an even more distant future?!"

Before the time for time reversion arrived, the petty Human God appeared before the future Broly and the others, and as soon as he appeared he started accusing the Foreign God Broly and the others.

"Look, this guy's panicked."

"Is it worth it, Future Foreign God? You should know clearly. This world has no parallel spacetimes. You return here and change the past, and that equals erasing all possibilities from the present to the future you're from."

The Human God questioned.

"That I naturally know clearly."

"Then why still do this?"

"Because Eris died, Ariel also died, and Aisha won't live much longer either."

"As long as the Dragon God is killed, all problems can be solved. They'll live forever in this era."

"What you say is correct, but the Dragon God has a better relationship with our family."

"Just because of this, you're willing to erase the future of your own existence?"

The petty Human God looked at the Foreign God in disbelief, then said to the future Roxy and the others.

"Do you people know? Him doing this will make everything you manufactured from this time point to the future you're from — all beautiful memories and the past — completely disappear, turning into non-existent void."

"We know. So what?"

Roxy and the others looked strangely at the petty Human God and retorted.

"You're really willing to accept it?"

The reaction of Roxy and the others made the petty Human God feel it was incredible. Things shouldn't develop like this. This group should help persuade the future Broly.

"Although reluctant, we still support Broly."

Roxy said.

"Even though the future us will disappear, the current us are still alive. And as long as people are alive, they can definitely create new beautiful memories."

Sylphy's words were still full of beauty.

"I won't say much else; my greatest regret in this life is that I never got to be a mother, and a world that just keeps reincarnating can't let me fulfill the wish to be a mother."

Aisha put it concisely.

"I want to..."

Nanahoshi Shizuka was even more direct, directly saying she wanted to become an adult.

Small Person God: "..."

Can Broly not growing up be blamed on Him?

Wanting to be a mother, wanting to become a woman, does it absolutely have to be Broly?

Countless curses, ultimately couldn't be spoken, because the time rewind came.

Heterodox God Broly and his wife, holding each other's hands, disappeared in the Fifty Fourth Loop's Six-Faced World.

Their existence was completely erased, their future would no longer occur.

"The time to return to the past, can't it be controlled?"

"According to the research, it should be possible in the end, what's wrong?"

"Then can it be adjusted to when I'm the same age as you? At that time you leave this world, we can grow up together, and once we've grown up together, we can have children..."

"Uh, Eris, that might not work."

"Ah, why?"

"You forgot when Ariel joined the Crystal Palace? Unless you want to kick her out of the Crystal Palace."

"Oh, almost forgot, then what's the earliest loop we can go to?"

"Fifty Fourth Loop, right."

"Then Fifty Fourth Loop it is."

This was Heterodox God Broly, once having a dialogue with his 26-year-old wife Eris, and after excluding Happiness Points loss, the other wives had no objection to this.

"Broly-san, everything is prepared."

After Eris died, many more years passed.

Finally, this day the elderly Rudeus came over, telling him everything was ready.

"Then, let's prepare to depart."

Standing inside the Time Magic Circle, a large number of Mages from the Heterodox God Nation began the final debugging of the Time Magic Circle.

"Ghislaine, not going back to the past together?"

Facing Broly's invitation, Ghislaine shook her head.

"I have to guard the mausoleum for this loop's Eris."

"Broly, wishing you good luck."

Dragon God Orsted made his final farewell; he clearly knew if the plan succeeded, the future continuing to this loop would disappear, but still didn't hesitate.

"Thanks for the good words."

The Time Magic Gate opened.

"Not good, the Magic Power needed to return to the past is too enormous, what we prepared seems not enough, Broly-san, come out first."

"Not enough? Then let me fill in the missing part."

Broly transformed into a Super Saiyan, powerful Qi transformed into Magic Power, and he also used Qi Draining Technique to plunder the whole world's Magic Power to fill the gap; the Time Magic linked to the Crystal Palace was successfully activated.

"Did it succeed?"

Broly and the four wives following along back to the past were wrapped by a Dark Red Magic Power sphere.

"It succeeded, the loop count inside the Crystal Palace is decreasing."

"Almost at Fifty Fourth Loop, everyone prepare to land; right, once we arrive, cooperate a bit, act out the past us."

Everyone was a bit speechless, but still agreed; after the Red Mana Sphere completely dissipated, they arrived at the Fifty Fourth Loop's Dragon Roar Mountain, looking like it was just the time of the World Reincarnation Battle.

【Hey, my past self is really quite leisurely.】

【My younger self really has vitality.】

【Is green hair better looking or white hair better looking? Although Broly thinks both look good, conflicted.】

The wives each had their own thoughts; Broly directly entered character and started acting: "Looks like this time, we teleported to the right place."
