With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way. But what will you do when the threats aren't always physical, when you can't simply punch all your problems away?Character sheets and other info: https://controlc.com/46ec566dhttps://pastebin.com/u/GrandDragonQMArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Saiyan+Conqueror+QuestHelp fund quest art commissions and get exclusive side stories as well as artwork by joining the patreon for only $1/month at https://www.patreon.com/GrandDragonQMQuest rules are as follows(unless otherwise noted):>30 minute vote times>Pick ONLY ONE option when voting>Dice rolls are all best of three correctly-rolled dice>At ten minutes past your previous roll, and there are not yet enough rolls, you may roll an additional roll>Crits are 100 on a d100>99s or paired rolls may net you extra bonuses>Crit fails are a 1/100 with no passing rolls, or if two 1s are rolled regardless of the third>Write-ins are both allowed and encouraged, but OOC options will be ignored>If your goal is simply to troll, at least put in enough effort to make it funny>Have funSCQ will usually start on Saturdays at noon Eastern Standard Time, and run throughout the weekend.

>>6475898Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:After battling the entity from beyond, defeating it with the power of Lifehunt, and sleeping frozen in an iceberg for a day, Karn learned of the aftermath of that entity's contact with reality, and gathered the tools and allies for the battle the next day. Learning of the Tuffle's long-scale plans and possible continued existence and its knowledge of Planet Cereal's Dragon Balls, as well as battling a rage-fueled entity seemingly possessed by a ring of crimson red, as we rejoin Karn your battle with Freeza, the former emperor has concluded after a titanic clash of power.“Alright, that's enough you two!” Meloka shouts as the smoke clears from your blast's detonation against his own, your wife ascending and flying out between you two with her arms outstretched. “No more here, you'll tear the planet apart!”“Well, you continue to impress me, Karn. You're far stronger than you were even days ago at that tournament.” Freeza says, and with a sigh powers back down out of his Black Freeza form. “I daresay, I do believe you are ready to face this Granolah character.”“Thanks. You've not been slouching either.” you reply, powering down to your base form as well. “You've really gotten a handle on that form now.”“Yes, I have become far more adept at regulating the form's output, instead of simply burning through my stamina at that accelerated rate from before.” Freeza answers you with that small smile of his. “Come the battle tomorrow, should you require my assistance, I shall be here guarding your home. But do not hesitate to call upon me, should the situation turn more... Dire. After all, Arctus has already warned me of his recent discovery. And, a thought you may not have considered.”cont
>>6475901“Oh?” you ask, brow raised. But instead of telling you aloud, Freeza suddenly thinks it to you.“Have you considered that the Heeters have come under possession of the Tuffle already?” he asks, you freezing in place, eyes widening in shock as you consider it. “From the moment you leave your home tomorrow, consider yourself in enemy territory.”“I will.” you tell him aloud, and offer your hand. “And thank you, Freeza.”“Of course. Anytime.” he replies with a nod, taking your forearm in his grip as you grab his. Both of you nodding once before releasing one another. “Enjoy your rest before tomorrow's war, Karn. I shall go speak with King Vegeta, he and I have much to discuss.”And without another word he lifts up into the air, taking off towards Vegeta City to speak with the king. Leaving you with one question:What now?>Spend the evening relaxing and resting, make sure you're ready for the coming battle>Call it a day here and head off to bed early, make sure you're well rested before the new year>Take one final training session in the Gravity Chamber before tomorrow, you can do one more bit of training before the battle>Head to your room and take inventory of your weapons, see if any of them may be coming with you tomorrow>Return to Towa's Lab and ask her to show you more of the footage of Granolah's fights with other Saiyans, see what you can learn about how he fights>Other(write in)?

Also, about the Tuffle fuckery, do any of you guys think Lifehunt will be able to kill the bugs? I know that a painful* amount of electricity was able to cook the parasites to death and render them inert, but I want to make sure we're keeping all of this in mind since I'm pretty sure the mind control bugs are an airborne virus*painful by Saiyan elite standards, anyone squishier dies

>>6475902For a moment you consider what to do now, and then an idea comes. You turn, heading inside back into your ship. Going to your room, taking each of your weapons and laying each of them across your bed. Looking at all of them, going through them one by one. First, you lift your Gravity Hammer, looking the weapon over. For a moment you consider it, then shake your head.“No, this one'll be too slow.” you say, dropping it back on the bed. And as you do, the door opens behind you and a voice calls out.“Dad? What are you doing?” Kayle, your younger twin daughter asks as she walks in. Looking at what you're doing curiously.“Hey kiddo. Just deciding if I should take any of these along tomorrow.” you tell her, picking up the sheathed Wolf Knight sword. Holding it up in both hands, unsheathing the blade slowly. “Or if it would be better to just fight with my hands.”“Oh, okay.” she answers, looking over your gathered weapons. “You got a lotta swords.”“I do, don't I?” you reply, looking them over. And, indeed, all your weapons aside from the Gravity Hammer you got from the previous Jiralhanae Chieftan are all swords. That and of course the dragon bone knife Chilli had made for you too. But you then sheathe the Wolf Knight sword again, laying it back on the bed. “He's not an Abyssal creature, so not that one.”“What about this one?” she asks, lifting the large, golden blade in both hands. “What does it do?”“You want to see? Focus your ki through it kiddo.” you tell her, Kayle looking up at the weapon. Brows furrowing, she focuses, and as you watch the weapon's flames wreathe the blade. Kayle's eyes widen in shock, jaw dropping as she watches the fires engulf it.“Woah. That's awesome.” she says, eyes sparkling as she looks up at the weapon. Then, she turns to you, a thoughtful look on her face. “Hey. Do you think, umm...?”“Kayle? What is it?” you ask her, your own brows furrowing slightly. “Everything okay?”“Yeah. Just... Having a thought.” she says, turning her focus from you back to the flaming blade. “ I wonder if this fire can melt your ice?”“I... Huh. I hadn't thought of that.” you answer her, looking at the blade questioningly. “I think that's something I'll have to experiment with.”“Are we gonna do that now?” Kayle asks, eyes wide, eager.Well? How do you respond?>Sure, you can test it tonight, to see if it's worth taking along on this mission.

>>6475953“Sure thing, kiddo. We can test it tonight.” you say, reaching down and ruffling her hair. “We'll do it now, see if it's worth taking along on this mission. Good thinking.”She beams up at you, grinning from ear-to-ear. Ending her channeling of ki through the blade, the flames disappearing, she carries the heavy greatsword as you both head back outside. And once you both are standing on the beach, you address her with your plan.“Okay. We'll have a couple different ways to test it. First, you'll hold it and I'll power up, see if it works on my ice when you use it, when you're holding it. Then, I may test it in my hands too. You ready?”“Ready!” she replies, and you close your eyes. Focusing, ascending in a flash to your Berserker God form once more. Then, digging deeper, you delve into the icy depths of the Berserker Soul's core, unleashing your instinct once more. And opening your eyes, now towering over your daughter even more, you give her a nod. Kayle nods back, focusing, and the blade once more ignites.And your body leaps back away from Kayle, from the weapon in her hands. Your body sails back half a dozen yards away from your daughter and the sword before you've even realized you're moving.“Wh-What?!” you exclaim, unable to understand why your body reacted like this. Then, remembering back to your battle with the sword's wielder you'd faced alongside Caulifla, remember how your instincts warned you of the weapon back then too.“Dad?” Kayle asks, immediately concerned and losing focus, the flames fading. “Are you okay?”“Yeah, I'm fine kiddo. Just seems that that fire's dangerous enough for this form to see it as a danger.” you tell her, and start walking back. “Keep focusing on it, and hold the sword steady for me.”cont
>>6476000“Right!” she exclaims, closing her eyes and focusing on the blade. Channeling her power through it, the sword igniting once more. And despite your body wanting to flee, you force yourself to walk up to her. Getting within arm's reach of the flaming blade, your body already covered in a thin layer of frost as you reach out to grab the blade. However, the frosty chill of Lifehunt is melted away by the flames around your hand, the heat from the Darkened flames burning through the frost swiftly. Enough so that you can feel the heat in your hand, and you pull back. Looking down at your hand, a little red from the heat, and entirely free of the ice. “Did it work?”“Yeah, it works kiddo.” you reply, showing her your ice-free hand. Her eyes widen, staring at your hand while your entire body's focus is still on the weapon. Wondering what in the world could make flames strong enough to dispel even Lifehunt. And what's worse, why does it make your body react like that?“So, your turn?” she asks, ending her channeling of the flames, holding the weapon up towards you to take. “You gonna use it?”Well? How do you answer?>Yes, your turn. Take the blade and channel your power through it. See if wielding Lifehunt and trying to use the weapon simultaneously are incompatible, or if it will only work to dispel the ice if someone else is wielding it>Tell her you're not going to risk it, you have a way to dispel the ice of Lifehunt and you won't risk damaging it to experiment.

>>6476002“Yeah, my turn.” you tell her, nodding to your daughter before kneeling and taking the weapon from your daughter's hands gently. Holding it in both hands, the weapon not-so-subtly shifting to your size as you stand. Holding the weapon vertically, holding it up you look at it. Your frost covering your hand again as the blade catches the light, and your frost slowly crawls up from your hands over the handle. You watch, the ice quickly covering the entire length of the massive blade. “Well. Here it goes.”With a thought you then focus, channeling your energy into the blade. And as you watch, the ice covering the weapon begins to crack and melt away. The blade glowing beneath the ice, which quickly melts as the sword's darkened flames burst into being. The blade burns bright, and even the ice on your hands swiftly melts away as you hold the burning weapon. Yet, as you hold it, every instinct in your body is focused on the weapon itself. Something that, were you to wield it in battle, would undoubtedly conflict with your instincts. However, as you carefully move the blade around you, bringing the heat towards different parts of yourself, Lifehunt's ice quickly melts off of you.“It works! You can use it too!” Kayle shouts excitedly, to which you smile and nod. Ending your transformation, reverting back down to your base form with a sigh, you release the blade with one hand and ruffle Kayle's hair again for a moment. Then, holding the weapon and continuing to channel its power, you use it to clear the frost off the rest of you, warming your body back up before ending your channeling through the weapon. “Are you going to take it too now?”“Maybe.” you tell her, unsure if you're going to use it or simply ask Meloka to carry it for you just in case. However, it is certainly a weapon that could make a difference.”After all, I got one other swords that I might prefer to actually use, if it comes to it.”“You mean that moon sword?” she asks, you nodding as the two of you head back inside. And once back in your bedroom you set the golden blade down, picking up your sword made of New Salda's moon instead. Not channeling your energy through it, yet with just the simple act of holding it, you feel it bolstering your strength.“I may use this. He's probably not ready for a swordfight. And this weapon lets me take New Salda's might with me to the battlefield. It is certainly worth considering.”cont
>>6476031“So, that's what you're up to.” a familiar voice calls from the doorway, and turning around you see none other than Raditz, the son of Bardock standing there. Leaning against the door frame, arms crossed as he glares at you. “General.”“Raditz.” you reply with a nod, studying his expression. He's clearly furious about something, but also keeping a lid on it for now. You're not sure why he's furious, but you've never seen him that angry at yourself before.Well? What do you do?>Ask him what's going on, if he and the family are doing alright>Ask him with a sigh what Chaya did now, if he's here coming to you about it she had to have done something>Ask Kayle to take the golden sword to her mother, tell her about what you two found out and that you need her to carry it tomorrow, then once she's left ask Raditz what's the deal>Other(write in)?

My guess for Raditz's foul mood? He heard the news that the #1 Saiyan Hater is lurking about again
>>6476076Number one Saiyan hater? You mean the monster that wore his unborn son like a skinsuit until ripping him apart, killed his wife, puppeteered his body for several weeks uninterrupted, and got him killed? Why would he be upset that thing's back?
>>6476078probably lost a bet, and hes holding onto that grudge like winning lottery ticket.
>>6476032“Kayle, kiddo, mind taking that sword to your mother?” you ask, taking the golden sword in hand and turning to your daughter. “Tell her what you and I found out for me, would you?”“Okay!” she replies, taking the weapon and heading out. Not looking back as she walks out, unaware of the tension in the room she's leaving behind. Raditz steps aside, letting her out. The door shuts behind her, leaving you and him standing, facing one another in silence. He uncrosses his arms, takes two steps towards you, and swings. You don't raise your guard, instead simply bracing yourself and taking his heavy right haymaker to the jaw. The blow staggers you a step back, head turned to the side as you roll with it. And as you turn back towards him, his chest heaving eyes smoldering with fire.“You son of a bitch. You KNEW!” he snarls, swinging again. This time with a left, which you take to the jaw as well without retaliating. But this time you brace yourself to take it, instead of rolling with it. His fist slams into your jaw and you don't move, watching him instead. “That motherfucker's back, and you KNEW! And didn't think to fucking WARN ME!?”He swings again, but this time you catch his fist. Holding his trembling arm still as he tries to push against you, the young man's entire body trembling with barely-restrained fury.“Raditz. First, we don't know if that monster's truly back or not. And if he's not, I didn't want to make you panic.” you say calmly, slowly pushing and lowering his arm down. “Second, if he was back, and I could confirm it, I would have told you. Immediately. I just didn't want to worry you over a false alarm if he's not.”He's silent at this, you releasing his fist as he lowers his arms, looking down contemplatively. Thinking it over for a few seconds before looking up to you.“I'm going.” he says, resolutely. “If that monster's still alive, if there's even a CHANCE of it being back, I'm going to kill it myself. I will NOT let that bastard come after my family again!”“No.” you reply, and before he can interrupt you hold up a hand. “Three reasons. One, if he IS alive, you and your family aren't going anywhere NEAR it. Two, if he IS there, the less people we bring to get infected by that bastard and turned on one another, the better. And three: someone's playing us.”“What?” he asks, eyes widening in sudden alarm. “What do you mean?”cont
>>6476090And so you lay it out, quickly summarizing everything that's happened over the course of the last week. And how almost everything's led to this battle tomorrow on Planet Cereal.“Someone's setting this up, Planet Cereal's undoubtedly a trap. My wife and I know it's a trap. But we're walking into it anyways, to spring the trap. Because we have to try and stop whoever's behind it. And I have zero belief that our battle with Granolah will be uninterrupted, or that Towa won't come under attack from our unseen enemy.” you tell him, Raditz clearly now just as suspicious as you were of everything that's happened as you are. “And instead of being locked in the trap with us, you'll be here. On New Salda, waiting and ready to deal with whoever or whatever's coming for our people when they have my wife and I pulled away off-world.”“You really think...?” he asks, voice trailing off as he considers it. Brows furrowing as he realizes that's most likely the situation, growing grim. “No, that makes sense. The real question's whether the trap is for you in the battle. Or to keep you from going after whoever their real target is?”“That's the question. So, I need you here, Raditz. Protect your family, and our people. Leave the possible Tuffle and the Cerelean to me.” you say, reaching over and placing your hand on his shoulder. To which he sighs out after a moment.“Okay. I'll trust you, General. But, Karn, the moment you confirm that Tuffle's there, let me know, Karn.” he says seriously. “If it's alive, I... I have to make sure my son's okay. That that monster doesn't still control him. And if he does...”“Then I'll kill the Tuffle again, before it can hurt your son.” you tell him, Raditz nodding in response. The two of you stand in silence a moment before he turns and leaves, no doubt going back to his wife and son. Leaving you in your room alone, with one question:What now?>Clear the weapons off your bed, put them back and call it a day. Get a good night's sleep to finish preparing for the battle tomorrow>Head over to Towa's Lab, ask if she can pull up footage of Granolah fighting that Time Patroller Kakarot, Goku and study how he fights>This talk of the future has you worried, sit and meditate for awhile.

>>6476091For a moment, you consider what you told Raditz, then decide it's time to rest. Yawning, you use your telekinesis to lift the remaining weapons off the bed, returning them to their usual resting place. Then you begin stripping down, and as you do, you set your Soulstone on the shelf, next to the bone dagger from your boot, and then the Senzu Bean you got from Conton City as well. You look the bean over, as it was with you when you were frozen. But it still seems fine, not gone soft or squishy. So you set it beside your Soulstone, so you can't miss or forget to take it with you in the morning. Stretching and yawning, you then reach out with telekinesis, turning off the light and laying down to bed. Closing your eyes, slowing your breathing and drifting off to sleep.Hours pass with you deeply asleep and unaware, and not drifting into that infinite void where you'd occasionally speak with Mechikabura or Towa over the years. Instead your sleep is deep and peaceful, undisturbed for hours on end. Sleeping long and deep, until you feel your body waking naturally on its own. Eyes slowly drifting open, yawning softly as you wake up. Blinking sleepily, you take in your surroundings. Meloka and Towa are both in bed with you, Towa laying on your left and Meloka's curled up on your right. Smiling softly, feeling your arms looped around them, you feel completely rested and at ease. But then, as you lay there, you feel a pair of eyes on you. Focusing on the sensation, you glance to the corner of the room near the door. And there, standing and watching silently, you see none other than Haathe. So, you reach out to her telepathically.“Haathe. Is everything okay?” you think to her, raising a brow curiously.“Yes, my lord. There art no problems requiring thine attention.” she replies with a thought, still unmoving. Silence hangs for several seconds between you and her, before you ask another question.“How long have you been watching me sleep?” you ask her, curious.“Ever since thine wife and concubine fell to sleep.” she answers, leaving you with more questions than answers.But what now? You're awake, today's the day, but what do you do?>Stay there in bed until either Towa or Meloka wake up>Try and sneak out of bed, head to the gravity chamber to wake yourself up and get ready for battle>Tap into your Champion form and its awareness, expand your ki sense and check on your planet.

>>6476125“I see. Well, I'll leave you to it then. Don't let me disturb you.” you reply to her still telepathically as you close your eyes. But before you can pull back from the telepathic link, she continues.“My lord. I...” she starts, her thoughts trailing off a moment. “I had'st wished to converse with thee.”“Of course, Haathe. What's on your mind?” you reply with a thought. “Everything okay?”“Yes, my lord. I wish to speak not of an issue, nay. Rather, the matter I needst discuss with thee be a more personal matter.” she replies, and as you open your eyes see her holding her left arm with her right behind her back, not looking at you but looking down at her feet.“I understand. Tell me, Haathe: what has been weighing on you?” you think to her, brows furrowing slightly. “You can tell me anything.”“My lord, I have been... Worried, as of late.” she answers slowly, thinking through her thoughts slowly. “Thine newest might, the chill thou now wield... I can feel it. Creeping 'pon thee, feasting upon thine heat. Robbing thee of thine strength, piece by piece. I fear that, if thee continues to rely 'pon that cursed cold, thy soul shall slowly freeze and cease to be. If thou perishes, thy Berserker Soul freezes and vanishes, then so too I shall fade and cease.”“I understand, Haathe. Believe me, I can feel it. Every time I use that power, I can feel it stealing my life. But I wasn't aware you could feel it as well, and I am sorry you had to feel that too.” you think to her. “I shall be more considerate using it going forward, knowing you can feel the same chill I feel in your very soul.”“I appreciate thine consideration, my lord.” she replies, bowing her head. But then you feel your wife stirring, rolling over and kissing you sleepily.“Mhhrrmrrr.” she murmurs sleepily, slowly opening her eyes as she looks down at you. “Mmmm.”“Mornin' hun.” you say softly, Towa stirring and rolling over as well. Haathe, bowing once more slips out from the room, creating a portal of the Berserker Soul's vibrant orange and slipping out of the room unheard by the other two. You blink in shock as you see this, having not expected her to be able to use the same portal magic as Raven. The sight completely catching you by surprise. Your shock, however, is noted, your wife's brows furrowing.“Everything okay?” she asks, to which you turn from where Haathe was to your wife, smiling.“Yeah. Everything's okay.” you reply, and your wife pounces. The two women waking themselves up with you, both wanting your attention. And you give it to them, letting all thoughts of what's to come fade away as you focus on the two devoted women and enjoying the last time you'll all have together before the battle of Planet Cereal begins.-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 267 paused-
>>6476170And that's it for tonight and this weekend, everyone enjoy the ride so far? Curious how the sword's flame was able to affect the Lifehunt and why your body reacted to it so intensely? Ready to arm yourself for the battle to come, and to finally face the Cerelean Granolah? All this and more, next time when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues!Unfortunately, that won't be this weekend, as Sunday unfortunately I will be unable to continue. Between my youngest niece's birthday and the irl tabletop session going on, I'd only have around two hours to write. So, instead we'll just wait for next weekend, to go all-in on last minute prep for the battle.
>>6476170>Quest 268 paused-I'm a fuckin' dumbass. That's twice recently I've gotten numbers wrong. Even on sup/tg/ I fucked up a recent archiving, got episode 266 saved as 26. Now there are two episode 26s.
>>6476172Don't feel too bad about about it. Nobody bats 1000 after all.Anyways, I'm glad nobody tried to ambush us in our sleep. Shame about the people who went insane while we slept though.
>>6476172Don't worry, I'll make you feel even sillier>>6476170>creating a portal of the Berserker Soul's vibrant orange:^)
>>6476183>Karn wakes up colorblind
>>6476192>Man, that happens once in a blue moon, you know?>Huh? The moon's blue every night.
>>6476175Fortunately, the only one who seemingly went a little crazy was me. Observe:>>6476183That's supposed to say EMERALD. How the fuck did orange come out of what I typed?>>6476192>>6476194Ha.
>>6476002>Flames of Profanity.pngWhat a strange fire.>“Yeah, it works kiddo.” you reply, showing her your ice-free hand.Awesome discovery. She is very smart. Good idea. >Her eyes widen, staring at your hand while your entire body's focus is still on the weapon.“Karncicle” required a whole day in the lava to melt. Fire of this blade must be special if it is so effective on this type of ice.>Wondering what in the world could make flames strong enough to dispel even Lifehunt.Ver curious.>And what's worse, why does it make your body react like that?Maybe those fires from this blade are like a Kryptonite for the power of Lifehunt. That was probably not a good comparison, but those flames simply are a strong counter to Karn’s new power that is all about making others not exist. I wonder why is that?>>6476031>However, as you carefully move the blade around you, bringing the heat towards different parts of yourself, Lifehunt's ice quickly melts off of you.This will be very helpful.>>6476090>“You son of a bitch. You KNEW!”The news spreads super fast. I wonder, are we talking about dozens of people who know? Or is it a question of what percentage of New Salda’s population already heard about it. [Spoiler]Karn did not watch the television today. Maybe VoxTV already talked about it.[/spoiler]>>6476091>“Someone's setting this up, Planet Cereal's undoubtedly a trap. My wife and I know it's a trap. But we're walking into it anyways, to spring the trap. Because we have to try and stop whoever's behind it.Anticipation is high. Tension as well. Something big is right around the corner.>>6476170>“Thine newest might, the chill thou now wield... I can feel it. Creeping 'pon thee, feasting upon thine heat.

If thou perishes, thy Berserker Soul freezes and vanishes, then so too I shall fade and cease.”That is so worrying.>You blink in shock as you see this, having not expected her to be able to use the same portal magic as Raven.Very nice. Is Haathe about to learn all that Raven knows?
>>6476171>And that's it for tonight and this weekend, everyone enjoy the ride so far?Yes. Very much.>Curious how the sword's flame was able to affect the Lifehunt and why your body reacted to it so intensely?Maybe Karn found in this flame an opposite element to the Lifehunt? Something that is its antithesis? Light and dark?>Ready to arm yourself for the battle to come, and to finally face the Cerelean Granolah?I can’t wait.>Unfortunately, that won't be this weekend, as Sunday unfortunately I will be unable to continue. Between my youngest niece's birthday and the irl tabletop session going on, I'd only have around two hours to write.Have lots of fun.
I was wondering about how different things would be if Karn made another choice long time ago. I talk about the time when he decided about which aspect of his potential power to focus on.Currently Karn’s main transformation path is:>Base Karn>Berserker >Ascended Berserker>Berserker God >Supreme Instinct>Supreme Instinct + LifhuntThis is all very awesome. I find it fascinating.However there is also other path that Broly from our timeline has selected. Where he focused on Primal Saiyan and he gained this form that looks like Berserker combined with Super Saiyan 4. And also when Baby was controlling him, he forcefully unlocked in him an emerald version of a combination of Berserker and Super Saiyan 4. It was so strong that even Tuffle Parasite could not control it. Broly’s choice is also an interesting path.I wonder, if Karn made the same decision as Broly did, he would probably never experience what it is like to reach Supreme Instinct and then afterwards Lifehunt. Things could be very different from what we see today. How would that Karn defeat the being from beyond reality without Lifehunt? How would that Karn fare in Tournament of power?If talking about those possibilities, of potential future paths that were not chosen, is too much of a spoiler, no problem, I understand. Though I find this topic interesting and I wonder about it.
>>6476744Unrelated but I just thought that Broly is the Frieza of the Saiyan species. A True Freak that is built quite simply not regular.
>>6476782>Unrelated but I just thought that Broly is the Frieza of the Saiyan species.Yes. He is not like others.>A True Freak that is built quite simply not regular.>FreakBroly disagrees. Gif is related.
>>6476369Yes, indeed. It is a very special weapon, made with an abnormal fire. Spoiler ahead, but it's easily researchable off the sword: The sword summons the Profane Flame. According to the sword's own description: "Long ago, when Sulyvahn was yet a young sorcerer, he discovered the Profaned Capital and an unfading flame below a distant tundra of Irithyll, and a burning ambition took root within him." Other descriptions of the flame's effect from other weapons read: "The Profaned Flame, which never goes out, imbues this weapon with a fire attack." But it's more than simply everlasting fire, as the Pontiff's description above and another read: "The witches who lead the Pontiff's Knights were originally ordained as holy knights. It was not long however, before their hearts were swallowed by the Profaned Flame." The flame is SENTIENT, and consumes lesser beings' minds with fiery ambition. I love being a lore diver.Raditz was told. Arctus decided to warn him, considering Raditz' past. And didn't consult you.>Something big is right around the cornerYes, indeed.Haathe has been learning from Raven. And her soul and yours are inextricably linked, as you gave her part of your own soul.>>6476387Glad you enjoyed. Not necessarily an antithesis, but rather something else.Going to be fun.>>6476744Well, if Karn focused on the Primal route, his power would certainly be higher. But his control would still be iffy at BEST>how would Karn defeat-RIP. AND. TEAR. Unlimited violence does just work more often than not.I do enjoy talking about other paths, and why several of the patron stories have been what ifs of exploring those different paths. UE Meloka, Broly v Broly v Broly, or even not patreon stories like the battle of the Karns.>>6476782Precisely. A once in a generation prodigy.>>6476797Classic. While og Broly still has the worse backstory, his screen presence was so great he overcame it in fans' minds for over a generation.
>>6476952>spoilerThank God we're nigh immune to mind control I guess. The sword itself also seems to scale well with quality builds, which I'm pretty sure Karn qualifies as with Ultra Instinct active. The Profaned Flame is also good burning out parasites from living creatures, though I'm not sure how useful that's gonna be for us.
>>6476797The good news is, with the power of dub vs sub we can have him be a devil or a freak! Huzzah!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFV6QCLrSc4>>6476952I feel like Broly and Frieza are rarer than once in a generation. Especially if we take the legendary super saiyan myth to specifically refer to Broly in canon, which makes him a once in a millennium talent at least. Either way, shit's wild. Now if only Broly would "train for a month TM" he'd be unstoppable.
>>6476960But what about suggestion? Or craving?>>6477196Ha.Absolutely, after all the "Super Saiyan" was a once in a millennium occurrence in canon
>>6477196>What if Broly was BETRAYED and TRAPPED in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
Patreon August comm's finally live, Dabura vs Koruza is finally finished! Finally actually FINISHED a Koruza story, could NOT let writer's block keep me from finishing yet another one of his stories. Don't know why his tales are the ones that always stump me.
Watching Dragon Ball Super Beerus with improved animation is a delight.>>6476952>Spoiler aheadI dared to read the spoiler. Honestly it sounds pretty scary. A blade with sentient fire that twists the mind of its wielder. Definitely scary. It reminded me of a story of a certain individual. He was well meaning and one day he found a really remarkable sword. Blade of the Laer that was a vessel to a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh. He was unaware of the danger that was hidden in this weapon. It began whisper into his mind and corrupt him. It succeeded. Fulgrim betrayed his allies and joined forces of Chaos.>I love being a lore diver.That is a very good trait.>Raditz was told. Arctus decided to warn him, considering Raditz' past. And didn't consult you.That’s alright then. I was thinking that whole New Salda talks about it already and Raditz heard it from a random Saiyan on a street. >Haathe has been learning from Raven. And her soul and yours are inextricably linked, as you gave her part of your own soul.Fascinating link. If Karn would die, would she die too?>if Karn focused on the Primal route, his power would certainly be higher. But his control would still be iffy at BESTInteresting. I guess whenever that Karn transforms his allies also need to be on alert and cautious. >RIP. AND. TEAR. Unlimited violence does just work more often than not.I see. Sometimes simple solutions are also the best solutions.>and why several of the patron stories have been what ifs of exploring those different paths. UE Meloka, Broly v Broly v Broly, or even not patreon stories like the battle of the Karns.Fascinating.>>6476960>spoilerKarn’s immunity to mind control is a big reassuring factor. He will not succumb to sentient fire’s influence like others did. Though I wonder, if it could affect someone like Meloka? She will be carrying this sword for now. Then again she probably won’t be using it for an extended period of time, so maybe nothing bad will happen.>>6477196>The good news is, with the power of dub vs sub we can have him be a devil or a freak! Huzzah!Indeed. I rejoice because of this. With combined power of dub and sub he can fuse into a “Devil freak” or “Freak devil” or maybe even into a “True freak devil” or “True devil freak”.>Especially if we take the legendary super saiyan myth to specifically refer to Broly in canon, which makes him a once in a millennium talent at least. Either way, shit's wild. Now if only Broly would "train for a month TM" he'd be unstoppable. I agree that he has a great potential.>>6477267>But what about suggestion? Or craving?If it tries to influence the wielder, hopefully it will not drive Karn or Meloka crazy.>>6477303>What if Broly was BETRAYED and TRAPPED in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?His power would reach maximum.
