Krillin looked at the short and tallest being in front of him, his mind was spinning rapidly.
Zeno is essentially a child.
A child with unlimited power but little judgment.
If you reason with him, he will listen to part of it, but he won't be able to maintain his attention for long.
You have to let him experience it.
Experience what it means to "get along with real people".
Krillin squatted without moving, resting his elbows on his knees, looking like he was thinking.
"I'll take you to meet two friends."
Zeno's eyes are brighter.
"Friends?"
"Yes." Krillin raised two fingers. "It's a hundred times more fun than your planet marbles."
Zeno looked back at the space marbles scattered on the carpet, then turned back and clasped them together with his little hands.
"Go now!"
Grand Priest spoke.
"Mr. Krillin."
His voice was steady and every word was carefully calculated.
"What kind of friend are you?"
Krillin stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his knees.
"One is the god of funny concepts."
Grand Priest's fingers holding Staff tightened slightly.
"The other is the little goddess of reality modification."
The hall was quiet for a moment.
Funny concept god.
This word appears in the scraps of the Divine Era fragment.
It does not rely on Battle Power, does not follow physics Laws, and the source of power is the narrative logic itself.
It is not even clear whether Laws's clearing of Zeno can take effect.
Grand Priest looked at Krillin.
"Are you sure that friend is safe?"
"It's very safe."
Krillin waved his hand.
"Her biggest hobbies are poking poop and hitting the earth with her head. She has no interest in things on the cosmic level."
Grand Priest Silence.
Zeno couldn't wait any longer, so he grabbed Krillin's trouser legs and pulled them down hard.
"Take me there, take me there!"
Beerus got up from the floor, his knees still shaking.
"Zeno-sama!"
The voice trembled.
"You can't just leave World of Void! The outside universe is dirty, messy and dangerous..."
Zeno turned to look at him.
Just one glance.
Beerus's mouth closed immediately, faster than light.
"I want to go." Zeno repeated.
Whis reminded softly, "Lord Beerus, the way you tried to dissuade them just now is no different from a kindergarten teacher stopping a child from going out."
"Shut up!"
Krillin looked at Grand Priest.
"Are you coming with me?"
Grand Priest pondered for two seconds.
Two seconds is already an extremely long time.
It cannot be stopped, and it should not be stopped.
But let Zeno go to a place where even he cannot fully control the information...
"I will accompany you, and my two guards will also go with you."
The two Zeno's Guards stood up from the ground, moved their numb knees, and returned to their positions expressionlessly.
Krillin noticed that the way they looked at him had changed. It was no longer simply locked in, but had an added layer of fear.
"Okay, there are a lot of people and it's lively."
Krillin turned to face the palace gate.
"Beerus, Whis, you guys should follow."
Beerus's face looked like he had swallowed a frog.
"Can I not go?"
"Can't."
Krillin never looked back.
"If Zeno sees something unpleasant on earth and wants to erase it, there must be someone responsible for screaming a warning."
"You want me to be the alarm?!"
Whis patted Beerus on the shoulder.
"Look at it, Lord Beerus. At least you are still useful."
Beerus wanted to curse, but after looking at Zeno and then at Krillin, he swallowed all his resentment back into his stomach.
Krillin raised his hand.
The trace of Martial God Passage was still left in the spatial folds of World of Void when it came.
He followed the traces and pulled in the opposite direction, and the passage reopened.
This time the entrance was more stable than before, with smooth edges and no regular fluctuations.
Crystal Ball on Grand Priest Staff tried recording again.
Still failed.
"Sir Zeno, please." Krillin stepped aside to give way.
Zeno walked excitedly into the passage with his short legs, followed closely by Grand Priest, with two guards guarding him on the left and right.
Beerus stood there, his legs feeling like they were filled with lead.
Whis poked him gently with Staff.
"Let's go, Lord Beerus. Earth's pudding is delicious."
"How can I be in the mood to think about pudding right now!"
"What about donuts?"
"... go."
A group of people entered the passage.
Zeno felt no discomfort walking inside, looking around and pointing at the projections of the universe passing by on both sides.
"That's Universe 3! That's Universe 11!"
Grand Priest is with you, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Krillin walked in the front with a relaxed pace.
Beerus was walking at the back, and every step was like walking towards the execution ground.
"Whis." He lowered his voice.
"If something happens to the earth later--"
"What are your plans?"
Beerus gritted his teeth.
"Play dead."
"Wise." Whis nodded. "That's what I planned too."
There was light at the end of the passage.
It is the warm tones produced by the refraction of sunlight by the earth's atmosphere, intertwined with blue and white.
Zeno saw the light and quickened his pace.
"Is it here? Is it here?"
"Soon."
Krillin reached out and pushed, and the passage exit opened.
Sunlight pours in.
The warm wind carries the fragrance of green grass and flowers.
Zeno stood at the exit of the passage, squinted his eyes to adjust to the light, and then opened his eyes wide.
"Wow."
Blue sky and white clouds.
The continuous city outline in the distance.
A flock of birds flying overhead.
I have seen these things in the cosmic projection, and the feeling of standing in them is completely different.
The wind will blow the corners of your clothes, the sun will warm your skin, and there will be a smell in the air.
Zeno took a deep breath and then sneezed.
"Ah sneeze!"
Beerus almost jumped in fright.
Krillin looked back.
"Pollen allergy?"
Zeno rubbed his nose.
"It tickles."
Grand Priest took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zeno took it and wiped his nose, acting clumsily like a real child.
Krillin looked away and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Zeno used his physical senses to contact the real world for the first time, rather than looking down through a projection of the universe.
This is an education in itself.
"Let's go." Krillin stepped forward. "I'll take you to meet those two friends."
Zeno stuffed the handkerchief back to Grand Priest and trotted to keep up.
Two guards followed silently.
Grand Priest put away the handkerchief and scanned the surrounding environment.
Earth, an ordinary planet in Universe 7.
But at this moment it carries the safety of Zeno.
If any threats arise...
He held Staff tightly.
What really worries him is not the external threat, but what Krillin will do next.
The God of Funny Concepts and the Little Goddess of Reality Modification.
This is not a simple social activity, this is reshaping Zeno's understanding of the world in a way he has never seen before.
Beerus came close to Whis, and his voice was as low as a mosquito's chirp.
"Whis, what do you think Krillin wants to do?"
Whis looked at the back in front of him.
Zeno's short legs moved very fast, and Krillin deliberately slowed down his pace to match him.
Zeno pulled Krillin's finger and asked questions.
"What's that white one?"
"Cloud."
"Can I eat it?"
"No. But I have edible marshmallows at home that look like clouds."
"I want to eat!"
Krillin looked down at the supreme being who was tugging on his finger.
Arale and Bulla.
One is the incarnation of the funny Laws, and the other is the little goddess who changes the rules.
These two guys put together gave him a headache.
But for Zeno, this is the best "teaching material".
Arale will teach him what it means to play equally, and Bulla will teach him what it means to have power that can create, not just destroy.
The biggest thing these two little girls have in common is that they are not afraid of Zeno.
Arale is not afraid of anyone. There is no concept of "fear" in her worldview.
Bulla is not afraid of anyone because her father is Krillin.
A funny character who knows no fear, and a fearless little princess.
Krillin landed in the sky above West City with a group of people and flew in the direction of Capsule Corporation.
Zeno was held on the arm by Krillin, and the wind made his little face bulge, and his mouth was full of wind, making a "wuwuwu" sound.
"So fast!" Zeno struggled and turned his face to the side. "Flying faster than Grand Priest!"
Grand Priest followed behind with a calm expression, and his flying speed was indeed slowed down by Krillin.
Beerus and Whis flew side by side at the end.
"Whis."
"Huh?"
"I have a very bad feeling."
"What a coincidence, I have one too."
The two looked at each other and sped up to catch up.
