Old Kai meant that the incident had happened even earlier.
"Gulp!"
Kibito God could not help swallowing. Worried, he said, "Even you, Ancestor, didn't know about that incident. If it happens again, what should we do?"
Pan, pressed against Goku's chest, could not help trembling again.
Goku gently patted his little granddaughter's back and frowned. "Lord Old Kai, with my current strength, could I deal with that kind of power?"
"You?"
Old Kai looked him up and down before saying helplessly, "It's not that I mean to belittle you, but forget it. Not only you—even Lord Beerus back then couldn't withstand that power. Otherwise, how could our universe have been shattered?"
Goku clenched his back teeth. When the Syn Shenron crisis had happened, that had already been the most powerless moment of his life.
He had never expected to feel even more powerless now!
"All right, you don't need to worry too much."
Seeing their worried expressions, Old Kai shook his head. "Who knows how many years ago that happened? If it were going to happen again, it would have happened long ago."
What Old Kai said was not without reason. When that incident had occurred, Grand Kai and Kibito God had not even been born yet. That meant it had happened at least a hundred million years ago.
So much time had passed. Perhaps that crisis had long since subsided.
Thinking of this, Kibito God let out a sigh of relief.
Unlike Kibito God, Goku's expression remained extremely grave.
Could it really be that simple?
"Grandpa, how about we go find Grandpa Gran?" Pan poked her head out, equally worried.
"No. Asking people from other timelines for help counts as manipulating time, and that is forbidden to Deities."
Old Kai shook his head. "You should stop worrying about this.
