Two Prophecies

"Sephiria, you don't look too well. You must have suffered a huge loss yesterday. How about eating a Senzu Bean?" Melutis, blinking her eyes.

"No need." Sephiria pulled out a chair and sat down without saying a word.

"Strange, you guys say Senzu Bean are for healing, right? Is this young lady injured?" Oracle Fish tilted its head.

"..."

Upon hearing the Oracle Fish's words, Sephiria's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Roland, then picked up the century egg congee on the table and began to drink it.

Roland Lan was unexpectedly glared at and cried out that she had suffered an undeserved misfortune. She thought to herself that Melutis also quite fierce, and her words were as scathing as a car veil.

After a delicious breakfast, the Oracle Fish leaned contentedly against the edge of the tank.

"Thank you for breakfast, I'm very satisfied. How about... I give you some prophecies?" The Oracle Fish offered to make prophecies for Roland, who was very interested. "Are your prophecies accurate?"

"Generally, it's quite accurate, but sometimes it depends on luck."

"Alright, then you try to make a prediction."

"Hmm," the Oracle Fish responded.

Sephiria and Melutis watched with curiosity. Roland explained, "This Oracle Fish is a good friend of Beerus, the God of Destruction, and can predict many things in the future."

The Oracle Fish, its eyes closed, swayed its barbels, causing the fish tank supporting it to float precariously in mid-air. "Mmm, I see it! So many red things, and blue things too! Ah, those lights are so dazzling!"

Red and blue light?

Roland seemed to be deep in thought.

"What did you predict?" Although the Oracle Fish's personality is unreliable, it does have prophetic abilities.

"Two scenes, umm, Mr. Roland, you'll encounter a strange witch later on, with a long tail and terrifying red eyes... she's fierce and menacing," the Oracle Fish stammered. "You beat her up pretty badly."

A witch with a long tail?

Roland's mind raced, confirming that there was no such character in the story she knew.

However, since I beat them so badly, they shouldn't pose any threat to me.

"What about the other one?"

"Well, eight years later, no, nine years... no, the timeline is all messed up, I don't know anymore. Anyway, many years from now you'll encounter a 'formidable foe,' a little girl with a huge body. She's holding a planet in her arms, uh, she crushes the planet, and then swallows you whole."

This prophecy is even more inexplicable.

Roland asked, "Who swallowed me?"

"Infinite Dragon... what was it called again? I've forgotten."

The Oracle Fish stuck its head back into the tank, then poked it out again, its tiny, beady eyes looking at Roland. "Sorry, I can't remember."

"Fine!"

Roland knew that the Oracle Fish was very unreliable; it would even forget the prophecies it had made.

The Oracle Fish gave two predictions. The first prediction shouldn't affect me, since the other party is the one being bullied. But the second one is uncertain. Does "formidable foe" mean enemy? And what does it mean to be swallowed? These ambiguous predictions are the hardest to judge.

The timeframe is roughly eight or nine years later, which is about two to three years after the Majin Buu incident. At that time, Beerus, the God of Destruction, has not yet awakened from his slumber.

That is, before "Gods and Gods".

Roland noted down the time; by then, he should have been a god-level being.

"Roland, what did the Oracle Fish mean? You were swallowed by someone, are you in any danger?" Sephiria's face couldn't help but show worry.

"Don't worry, things might not be that bad. After all, the prophecies of the Oracle Fish are sometimes... pretty unreliable."

"That cannot be ignored either."

Sephiria looked serious; it concerned Roland's safety, how could she not care?

"Sephiria is right, we must take this seriously," Melutis said. Roland was the man she had chosen for her sister, and nothing could go wrong with him.

"Yes, I'll be careful." Roland didn't think anyone could threaten her, but she felt warm inside from Sephiria and the others' concern.

"Perhaps Whis knows something? Why don't we go ask him?"

When Sephiria made the suggestion, Roland did not object. After breakfast, the three of them went to find Whis to inquire about the situation.

"... The Oracle Fish made a prophecy for you? Then be careful. Its prophecies are usually quite accurate, but it's a bit unexpected that even the timing is uncertain. Usually, the Oracle Fish will give a specific time when it makes a prophecy. For example, when it prophesied for Lord Beerus 28 years ago, it said that he would encounter a formidable enemy when he awoke again."

"It just said something about 'Infinite Dragon,' do you know what that means?"

Sephiria asked urgently.

When Whis heard Sephiria mention 'Infinite Dragon,' he glanced at Roland in surprise and frowned. "This name sounds like it belongs to the Dragon Clan, but as far as I know, there's no Dragon Clan in the Zeno Multiverse with that name. Of course, maybe that's not its full name, or even its true name."

"Sorry, there's not enough information, I don't know either."

"Even Whis has never heard of the name 'Infinite Dragon,' so it definitely doesn't exist in our world and there's no danger to it."

Roland laughed heartily, optimistically believing that as long as he didn't leave the Zeno World, there would be no danger.

Sephiria nodded blankly.

Whis squinted and said, "Don't scare yourselves. The Oracle Fish is a bit confused; sometimes it will interpret good prophecies as disasters. As long as you cultivate diligently, just overcome any difficulties you encounter."

"Hmm, what Whis said makes sense. Maybe it's a good thing!"

"..."

In the northern part of the East Galaxy, a place countless light-years away from the Planet Devil's Den.

Buli struggled to travel through the universe, her previous injuries gradually healing over several months of recuperation. Now, carrying energy, she rushed towards a nearby planet at top speed.

"Get to the next planet as soon as possible, and then get a spaceship."

Months of long-haul flights had left her exhausted; if it weren't for the Alta's robust physique, anyone else would probably have gone mad.

The universe is vast, and the worst thing is to lose your way. Buli now relies entirely on her memory to fly, so she doesn't even know when she will be able to reach a planet with civilization.

Fortunately, her injuries have mostly healed, and she is confident she can handle any trouble she encounters.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, a deep blue planet appeared in Buli's sight. Buli's face lit up with joy, and he immediately increased his speed. Just then, a white flash rapidly approached from afar, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was a small flying vehicle.

Buli's eyes widened, and before she could react, a loud "bang" rang out as the aircraft crashed head-on into her.

The spaceship was moving incredibly fast, so the impact was extremely violent. Buli's face turned pale, and her body, which had just recovered, was seriously injured once again.

"Puff..."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Buli felt a wave of dizziness, and along with the spacecraft, he plummeted towards a nearby planet.

As she fell, Buli's mind went blank. "Why have I had such bad luck lately?!"
