“I see. Stubborn as I've been told you'd be. However, such a thing is beyond your scope. Your powers simply cannot interact in any meaningfully helpful way.” she tells you, her tone a bit aloof. “However, there is one method in which you could provide assistance.”
“Name it.” you reply, your lack of hesitation catching her a bit by surprise. After a moment, holding your gaze she nods, once.
“Very well. IF you are successful, and IF you are able to best this Zamasu and bring the refugees from that timeline to this timeline's earth, I will do what I can.” she replies, then with a bit of a smirk adds. “You're lucky, Marron. To have such a caring grandfather, willing to completely upend the order of reality for your sake.”
Surprised, you turn towards the doorway, seeing your granddaughter looking at the gathered group of you all. Eyes wide, unsure which of you to look at. Between Mechikabura's overwhelming presence, to your 'new' power to her, to Towa and the Supreme Kai of Time herself.
“And because of him, your people will be evacuated from your reality to his own.” she says to Marron, your granddaughter's eyes watering.
“R-Really?” she asks, looking from her to you back to her as she tries to hold back tears. “Is this true?”
“Indeed. While there will be... Complications, I should be able to make it work.” Aeos answers, raising her hand towards Marron. And, as you watch, her rainbow-colored aura blazes, enveloping both herself and Marron. Sensing the divine energy, your own Berserker Soul's wrath blazes, nearly taking you off your feet to attack her. But you restrain yourself, body trembling with barely-restrained fury and hatred. After a moment the aura fades away, Aeos nodding to herself as she stares at a flicker of energy remaining in her palm. “Very well. I shall return to start making preparations.”
And without another word, the Supreme Kai of Time turns, heading back into the still-open portal. Leaving you, Marron, and Towa alone with Mechikabura.
