The next morning, Bulma brought Trunks to their door.
Without Bulma even having to say a word, Senga already understood why she had come.
"You want me to help Trunks sort out his future, right?"
When Senga pointed it out, Bulma suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She stammered,
"Oh, you knew all along..."
Senga smiled slightly, about to speak, when No. 18 suddenly spoke up.
"Senga, can you help him? I have a feeling that the tragedy of the future is related to me..."
Well, now that both girls have spoken up, Senga naturally has no reason not to help. He shrugged and said,
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Oh dear, is it really okay to say you want to travel through time in front of an angel like me?"
Bardos, wearing the clothes she had conjured up yesterday, walked down from the second floor with a smile.
Trunks froze, a look of fear crossing his face. The impression that Bardos had left on him yesterday was indeed very deep.
Bulma instinctively hid behind Senga shook her head helplessly and said,
"Vados, stop scaring me. Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't interfere with the affairs of Universe 7 anymore?"
Bardos tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said with a puzzled look,
"Did you say so? I think so, but it's not really appropriate to just leave me, a guest, here like this!"
"So what do you want?"
"Hmm... how about taking me with you? This feeling of breaking the rules is quite exciting!"
"..."
Senga and the others arrived at Bulma's Capsule Corp, where they also saw the Hyperbolic Time Chamber used by Trunks.
Bardos curiously touched the machine, clicking her tongue in amazement.
"It's incredible! Human technology has actually reached the level of time travel? It's almost on par with Time Ring."
Bulma smiled smugly and said with great pride,
"Impressive, right? Let me tell you, this was invented by my future self!" M.
"Really? Hmm, if this gets out later, you'll be held responsible!"
"Um, actually I was just joking, do you believe me?"
Trunks introduced the Time Machine to everyone. Since the machine could only carry one person, his idea was for Senga to use it alone to travel to the future.
Upon hearing this, No. 18 and the others frowned and said,
"So you mean we're just supposed to wait here? What if Yi Senga doesn't come back?"
"No, we can refuel in the future, and then Senga will be able to come back!"
No. 18 was somewhat disappointed, but given the facts, there was really nothing she could do.
Bardos thought for a moment and said,
"How about I ask the Supreme Kai for the Time Ring? That one can take people with it."
Senga glanced at Vados, thinking to herself, "You've really gone all out, haven't you? You keep saying you can't travel through time without permission, but now you're going to blackmail the Supreme Kai yourself."
Alas, indeed, whether something is sinful or not is merely a matter of a divine decree.
However, Senga didn't dislike this behavior because he was also a god and had the power to control the rules. Sometimes, double standards are just so satisfying.
Bardos summoned her staff and said,
"I'll go now and be back soon."
Senga stopped her and said casually,
"No need for that. If the machine is small, just make it bigger."
Bulma paused for a moment, then shook her head with great difficulty and said,
"You mean enlarging the machine's size? It's not that easy. I can't build this machine right now, and the raw materials for it are extremely rare. We simply can't gather them all in a short time!"
Bardos didn't speak; she just quietly looked at Senga. Her intuition told her that Senga must have his own way.
Senga didn't respond to Bulma immediately. He first told everyone to step back, then a golden halo suddenly appeared in his right eye, and he whispered,
"His Shōna-Hikona."
To everyone's astonishment, the Time Machine suddenly expanded several times its original size without warning. The cockpit, which could only fit one person, now looked like it could comfortably seat eight or ten people.
Even Bardos, an angel, stood frozen in place, muttering to herself,
"To change the size of matter out of thin air—could this be the power of rules? This is truly fascinating. A god who possesses both power and rules? No wonder he looked down on the position of God of Destruction..."
Trunks was completely dumbfounded. What was happening before his eyes was too fantastical. Only now did he understand what the title of "god" truly represented.
God represents complete freedom and omnipotence!
The golden light in Senga's right eye gradually faded. He hadn't used this move in a long time, and he never expected it to come in handy now.
He clapped his hands, snapping the stunned crowd out of their daze, Senga spoke with a smile.
"Alright everyone, it's time for us to get going."
Bulma looked up at the Time Machine, which was several times larger than before. Even the ladders for climbing were much bigger, and she couldn't climb them at all.
Everyone present except her could fly, and she turned to Senga for help.
Senga immediately understood and was about to step forward when No. 18 beat her to it, picking Bulma up in a princess carry.
Bulma looked at No. 18 with a blank expression, while No. 18 smiled slightly and said,
"Miss Bulma, you can't climb up, can you? No problem, I'd be happy to help!"
After saying that, without waiting for Bulma to speak, she picked Bulma up and leaped high into the air, entering the Time Machine first.
Bardos watched this scene thoughtfully. She glanced at Senga, then staggered and almost fell.
This startled Senga. He quickly moved to Bardos's side and asked with concern,
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Although the idea of an angel feeling unwell sounds a bit far-fetched, it was indeed the first thing Senga thought of.
A faint blush rose to Bardos's bluish skin as she rested her hand on her forehead and said...
"Perhaps it's because I've been away from Universe 6 for too long, my body is a bit weak..."
Senga was taken aback, thinking, "Angels can't leave their own universe for too long? There's such a hidden rule?"
He said with a frown,
"Then I'll send you back, so you don't need to take the Time Machine!"
Bardos rolled her eyes subtly, thinking to herself, "You big straight man, if I wanted to go back, I would have gone back already."
She leaned closer to Senga and said,
"No need, it's just something I'm not used to yet, I'll be fine in a bit. But could you walk me up now?"
"Yes, of course, no problem."
Senga casually put her arm around Bardos's waist and slowly flew into the Time Machine.
No. 18 stared in disbelief at the two people who flew in; she never imagined that angels would actually raid someone's home!
