The Supreme Kai seemed to recall the glorious years of the past, sighing with a touch of emotion: "The West Supreme Kai was once the only female Supreme Kai; she was like a sister to me. You two are about the same height, and your temperament... your temperament looks similar too. Ino, you are currently acting as the Proxy West Kai; this arrangement of fate is truly wonderful."
Ino laughed dryly twice. saying she looked like the West Supreme Kai? Hehe, let's stop right there; this is something we really can't go into detail about.
However, after changing into these clothes, she indeed looked very much like the West Supreme Kai.
In her spiritual world, there was even an outfit of the same style as the one she was wearing. She had checked her wardrobe earlier and found several similar sets of clothes, though it was a pity that none of those clothes contained the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul.
"Catch." The Supreme Kai didn't just give her clothes; he also gave her earrings.
Ino caught the other pair of Potara Earrings.
"For this period, consider yourself an Apprentice Supreme Kai under my name. This pair of earrings isn't of much use; they are just ornaments."
Ino took off her original Ino-Shika-Cho earrings and put on the Potara Earrings, one on the left and one on the right.
Her earring pendants were green, representing an apprentice, which was the same color as Kibito's earring pendants.
The earrings the Supreme Kai was currently wearing, however, had golden pendants.
The items Ino obtained now were in accordance with regulations. In the original timeline, when Son Gohan trained in the Sacred World of the Kai, he also had Supreme Kai clothes and Potara Earrings, and the color of Son Gohan's earrings at that time was also green.
She had gone from Proxy West Kai to Apprentice Supreme Kai, which seemed like a leap in class, but in essence, she was still a temporary worker.
If the superiors ignored it, naturally everything was fine. But if they got serious, someone like her, who possessed neither Kai nor Supreme Kai lineage, would definitely be cleared out immediately...
Theoretically speaking, if both the Supreme Kai and Kibito were to die right now, she, the only Apprentice Supreme Kai still wearing earrings, could be promoted to full status. This was exactly what Zamasu of the Tenth Universe did: kill the original Supreme Kai, and the green earrings instantly turned into golden earrings.
Unfortunately, theory was just theory. Without the Supreme Kai bloodline, slaughtering every Supreme Kai in the multiverse would be useless.
The Supreme Kai, unaware of her sinister thoughts, seriously explained the basic knowledge to her.
Ino slowly lowered her guard and brought up the problems she encountered when using her various abilities.
Some questions the Supreme Kai answered directly; for others, he had to go back and check the books.
After spending time together, one would discover that the Supreme Kai was truly a very easygoing person. He had no airs and no bad intentions. Being friends with such a person would be very comfortable. Being his subordinate... actually wasn't a problem either. On the contrary, a subordinate like Ino, whose subjective initiative was ridiculously strong, made the Supreme Kai, as a leader, feel slightly awkward.
During training one day, Ino took out the Hero's Sword, which she hadn't used for a long time, and swung it around with a crackle and pop.
As if chatting idly, the Supreme Kai asked casually, "Ino, do you know the legend of the Z Sword?"
"I don't. It's the first time I've heard of it. Is it a very powerful sword?"
Kibito interrupted: "Of course! The Z Sword is a supreme treasure of the Sacred World of the Kai. Legend has it that whoever pulls out the divine sword will obtain invincible power!"
Legend? This legend was definitely Beerus bamboozling you guys.
Ino timely revealed an eager expression, and the Supreme Kai smiled. "Want to try? Then come with me."
The three of them arrived at a mountain peak.
The Z Sword was embedded right into the mountain rock.
"Just pull it like this? Will I gain enormous power just by pulling it out?" Ino asked the two.
The Supreme Kai gave her an encouraging smile.
Kibito, on the other hand, wore an expression of someone watching a good show.
The Z Sword was very heavy, but this weight was bearable for Son Goku and Son Gohan even without turning Super Saiyan.
According to common sense, lifting is easy, but wielding is hard. For example, a 40-catty spear or a bucket of water—many people can lift them, but to wield them in a proper manner places extremely high demands on arm strength and constitution.
The Z Sword was exactly the opposite. The difficulty of this sword lay in pulling it out; if one really managed to pull it out, wielding it actually wasn't hard.
"Super Otsutsuki 2!"
"Kaio-ken x2!"
"Kaio-ken x3!"
"x4!"
"Ah—ah, come out... out... out, I can't pull it out!" Ino used all her strength, but couldn't pull the sword out.
"It doesn't matter. Many generations of Supreme Kais, including the former Grand Supreme Kai, tried to pull out the divine sword, but they all failed. This sword is simply too heavy." The Supreme Kai smiled, indicating it was fine.
He had tried before as well, but alas, there was no sign of it coming out at all.
Ino was also a bit depressed. She originally thought she could see Old Kai soon. Back in Konoha, she had prepared a full set of the illustrated version of Make-Out Paradise and a photobook of Yugito Nii, but the result... it seemed the gap between her and Super Saiyan 2 Son Gohan was still quite large.
No need to say more, just continue training.
"Lord Supreme Kai, are there any methods to exercise arm strength? I feel it might be due to my own lack of strength."
"Of course there are. Then let's conduct strength training today."
Time passed day by day.
Ino absorbed various kinds of knowledge in the Sacred World of the Kai like a hungry person. The last time she studied this happily was when she followed Master Six Paths.
Back then, it was laying the foundation. Now... it was still laying the foundation.
Age 737, Son Goku was born. Age 765, the original Son Goku, who should have died on May 12th at the age of 28, had his destiny's trajectory changed by Future Trunks.
Son Goku's heart disease erupted ahead of schedule. This was definitely bad news when fighting Broly, but looking at it from the stage of the Androids, it was good news.
The heavy burden placed on his heart by using the Ultra Divine Water and frequently using the Kaio-ken was cured by the medicine from the future. He could face the brand-new future in a normal state.
Future Trunks had worked for Ino for such a long time that his understanding of time was much more profound than before.
He knew that the things experienced in his timeline might not necessarily be the same as what was about to happen in this timeline.
He did not rashly join the battle but instead observed in secret for a bit.
Sure enough, the time the Androids appeared was about half a month earlier than in his timeline, and Android 19 and Android 20 were new models he had never seen before.
The Z Fighters easily defeated the two Androids, whose battle power was insufficient to reach 100 million. However, because the Androids appeared earlier, Son Goku was currently still training with the North Kai and did not receive the news immediately.
Ultimately, Android 17 and Android 18 successfully awakened, and they also woke up the old version, Android 16.
A fierce battle erupted between the two sides. No. 17 and No. 18 possessed infinite energy; they would not get tired no matter how they fought, and the concept of exhausting their stamina did not exist. No. 16 watched the battle from the side, while Vegeta took on No. 18, and Piccolo, who had already merged with Kami, battled No. 17.
