But as she is, Tanya erects a godly barrier, one that deflects the titanic energy Chaya is unleashing just around her own body. But as she does, you also notice something else. You'd felt it faintly before, but as the beam is dying out you sense another divine power. One less angry and violent than the two women, but a third source. One free of all dark emotion.
“Elder Kai, do you feel that?” you ask, brows furrowed as he looks to you questioningly. But he doesn't say anything or indicate, so you continue. Either he doesn't know, or wants you to say so he can compare you to Shin once more. And you oblige, as the more Elder Kai can vouch for you, the easier replacing Shin will be in the future. “There's another source of divine energy somewhere on that planet. It's different than the energies they're fighting with, but it is unmistakable.”
“Umm, ehh, excuse me.” a voice you don't recognize suddenly speaks up, you not looking around as it appears directly into your ears, not from a source anywhere around you. But that doesn't stop the gathered Kais from looking around in confusion. And it is Shin who speaks up first.
“North Kai? Is that you?” Shin asks, to which you hear the voice again.
“Yes, please forgive the intrusion.” he says, you wondering who this “North” Kai could be. His existence implies other cardinal directional Kais, but what purpose they could serve is beyond you at the moment. “But I just discovered something CRAZY happening in my quadrant of the universe. Somehow a mortal is down there using MY most secret technique!”
“Your technique?” Shin asks, confused. “North Kai, what do you mean?”
“See for yourself. Do you sense the two mortals wielding divine ki battling it out?” he asks, Shin confirming. “Well, look up in the sky.”
To which Elder Kai adjusts the crystal ball, Tanya taunting Chaya as the Saiyan sees that her attack failed, only to see a ball of pale blue and white light in the sky. And as you see it, you can feel that that is the divine energy you sensed. The energy and faith from uncountable mortals all swells from that orb, you all watching in silence as it just keeps growing.
“What is that?” Shin asks, sounding awestruck.
“Heh heh, that would be my Spirit Bomb technique!” North Kai declares proudly. But then, after a moment of silence adds in a far less enthusiastic tone. “But I have no idea how that technique got out. I haven't taught or even SHOWN it to anyone who doesn't live full time on my little planet here. I haven't the slightest clue how a mortal of all things somehow copied it.”
