>>5674404Your opinion on the Supreme Kai, whose name is apparently Shin? Thinking back, the only time you can ever recall him ever DOING anything of note was during the Siege of New Salda, stopping the war right before the first Arbiter could finish you off. But other than that, you can't recall him ever doing anything productive. He showed up too late for Trigon, too late to help against Majin Buu, and every single other problem you've had in your life. So, with all that in mind you answer him.
“Honestly? He seems to be quite useless, but he did save my life that one time, ending the Siege of New Salda when he did. Had he been even a minute later, I would have died. But other than that, he's done nothing when beings from other timelines, dimensions, or whatever other conflicts arise. Even Majin Buu, the one he's supposedly been hunting for so long, was defeated before he even showed up to the fight.”
“I see.” King Cold answers with a thought, his mind carefully blank. But from his expression you can feel his malicious intent. Not directed at you, but someone. “Useless is a good word for him. But I believe the term -incompetent- suits him far better. Most of the good that comes from his actions is incidental, like the news I received. News for you, and your boy.”
With that thought he adds Chilli to the telepathic call, addressing your both as everyone else eats, oblivious to the discussion going on.
“I have news for the both of you. Your eldest daughter as well, but... Well, I don't think I want that level of publicity on this strike.” King Cold continues, your son looking up from you to King Cold and back. You reach out and pat him on the back with your right hand, nodding to him as King Cold continues. “Chilli, news of your fight and near-victory against that golden helm god has even reached my ears. So, I have tasked one of my best undercover agents with discovering his whereabouts. And, it just so happens, that his location was confirmed.”
Your son freezes at this, you sensing his powerlevel start to climb to match his sudden anger. You clamp down on his left shoulder with your right hand, your son focusing and sighing out before King Cold continues.
“And it was quite the location. A shame you missed him last time, Karn.” the emperor's father continues. “As he and that other Kryptonian you found share the same world.”
