“Heh. Kars won't be a problem.” King Cold says, grinning and giving you a slight nod. “After all, he'll be distracting the Supreme Kai and that old Kai, once I give the signal. And yes, he's equally as disappointed in the Supreme Kai, as of late. I have the feeling that he's angling to replace Shin, in a few decades or so.”
Replacing Shin? The thought of Kars as Supreme Kai, while not exactly comforting, isn't terrible either. Unlike with Shin, who does nothing, Kars is clearly a man of not only words but actions as well. Should he take over, you have a feeling things across the universe would change. Into what, you're uncertain, but you have the feeling he would have a stronger hand than the do-nothing Shin.
“But how will that stop Nabu from calling for help?” your son asks him, also serious. “Even if Kars does his best to distract, he could show up directly instead.”
“No, that won't be a problem.” King Cold grins. “As Shin is afraid of your father, and won't confront you directly. When my son broke through that Time Kai's barrier, according to Kars all of the divine realm felt your power, Karn. And they were afraid. That elderly Kai who was trapped in that sword says that your power specifically is anti-divine, a threat that once ran rampant during his time. And it is why the gods fled the mortal realm, establishing their own realm apart from our own and never really returned.”
“Woah.” you mutter aloud, looking back down at your empty plate but not seeing it as you process this information. You remember him saying something about a 'godslayer', or 'god eater', you can't really remember as it was years ago. But if those beings were enough to cause the gods to flee, and your Berserker power reminds him of this? Then perhaps you really CAN do this without interference?
“I'm in.” your son tells King Cold with a thought, looking to you. “What about you Dad?”
“Yeah, let's do this. That bastard Nabu has it coming.” you add, the two of you meeting King Cold's gaze. “We accept.”
“Excellent.” King Cold replies, smiling wickedly. “Once everyone else leaves, I shall give Kars the signal. And on his command, time will stop.”
“Wait, what?” you ask, surprised. “Say what now?”
“I wouldn't want to take away a father's time with their child, especially during such.... Formative years.” King Cold says, no doubt meaning Chilli and Meloka Wolbach. “He shall stop time for us, and allow you to take your target out and return without missing a single moment.”
