“You said there were two truths. What is the second?” Beerus asks, Whis flying up and stopping by Beerus. From his expression you see he's ready for a fight, but when he sees you all talking slows down, stopping short of starting a fight. But, judging from his expression, the angel is one wrong word away from attacking the Demon God. Which does leave you wondering, which of them would win in a fight?
“Right, right. The second is one which has far greater implications.” Mechikabura continues, turning and looking at you this time. “As you're aware, I'm from the previous reality. The one she eradicated under the pretext of stopping me. But, in that reality, these 'souls' of power weren't a concept. There was no 'Lord of Sunlight', no 'Abyss', and no 'First Flame'. Those concepts weren't created until this iteration of reality.”
“What?” Whis asks, shocked. “That's not possible.”
“I saw my reality die, angel. Not just a universe, or a timeline. She destroyed EVERYTHING.” Mechikabura says, sighing out. And for the first time, he really sounds old. You realizing that he's older than you can possibly comprehend, yet compared to Chronoa he'd seem little more than an infant. Which makes you wonder how she lost to him when she had that much experience behind her. “As the battle over the right to rule time waged, she used her own Hakai on the prime Time Scroll. Erasing everything that ever was. It was only through my Determination that I was able to survive, storing my soul within the Dark Dragon Balls.”
“Hold on. That word. You said determination as if it weren't a concept, but something <span class="mu-i">more</span>.” Beerus interjects. To which Mechikabura nods. “Would you elaborate on this?”
“Of course. You all should know the truth of things, to better advise the interim Time God here.” Mechikabura continues, giving you a dismissive wave. Which is when it hits you, YOU'RE truly in charge of Conton City. And it's people. Or, at least whoever's left. “In that reality, my native reality, the greatest driving force was, ironically enough, called Determination. Which is why beings like myself and Karn are so difficult to defeat. With our Determination as powerful as it was, our souls persisted even after our bodies were destroyed. Even through the complete destruction of reality itself.”
“Determination...” you mutter, thinking the word fits Karn to the letter. “Hold on. You said Karn's soul survived, but why doesn't he...?”
