Chapter 188 The Mystery of Death, Carrot's Premonition! The Game Begins at the Anchor Point!
Upon returning, Carrot had a bad feeling. Like the other members of the Justice League, he felt a sense of anxiety that made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

From the perspective of a time traveler, they have undoubtedly lost all knowledge of the plot.

No one knows how the plot will unfold in the future; he can only rely on his understanding of each character to make his judgment.

Both the DC and Marvel universes have undergone reboots more than once when their storylines fell apart. Even in the Dragon Ball universe, the main characters have repeatedly used the power of the Dragon Balls to repair the universe and revive others, which can also be considered a reboot.

But the anchor universe he is currently in is a place where multiple timelines intersect. Who knows what impact fluctuations in one of these timelines will have on the entire tangled mess of yarn?

After all, this universe has been on an unknown timeline since its birth, and no one knows what methods can be used to turn the tide should it face destruction.

Therefore, Carrot now takes every death very seriously, because anyone might not actually come back.

As long as they don't break through the Origin Wall, no matter how powerful they become, they'll just be food on a plate, to be casually picked up and eaten by those big shots.

With no one around, Carrot El also shared his long-held considerations with Bik:

“Bick, this matter requires careful consideration. The realm of death has always been divided into several dimensional regions, and a true unification has not yet been achieved.”

"It is because of the extremely chaotic distribution mechanism of the dead in the underworld that I have never dared to easily harbor murderous intentions."

"Because I don't know where the people I kill will go, and these people can return to the mortal world as long as they casually sign a contract with a god."

"At that time, it was like the enemy was in the dark while we were in the light, and we felt like we had a thorn in our side."

Carrot El's words served as a reminder to Piccolo, and also to himself, that he must not become complacent just because he had defeated Frieza.

The situation will inevitably worsen in the future, and there will certainly be unforeseen circumstances.

Regarding the matter of death, Carrot El also asked the Ancient One about it. The authority of the world of the dead is currently very complicated and chaotic.

Death in Marvel is one of the five cosmic entities, and is supported by Eternity and the OAA, who are also cosmic entities. However, due to the special nature of the anchor universe, Eternity, as a truly multi-dimensional being, cannot come from the origin line. Even the Goddess of Death herself is merely sent on a business trip to expand a new universe project.

However, the Marvel Universe wasn't the only one bidding for the "death" item. Since the Anchor Universe wasn't recorded in the DC Book of Fate, it also attracted the attention of the Goddess of Death from the Infinite Family of the DC Universe.

Compared to Marvel's deaths, which actively intervene in the deaths of all living beings, the deaths of the Infinity Family from DC are more like those of an observer, silently watching everything come to pass and giving all things an equal destiny.

This goddess is quite laid-back, but behind that lay her own schemes!
On the surface, although she and the Death in the Marvel Universe have a power struggle, she never interferes. But in secret, she is determined to kill the Death on the other side!

What does it matter if a few universes die? Only by slowly wearing down a death goddess of equal rank and position can one truly attain enlightenment!
The death that rules over death is the true death!
Even if it doesn't die, we must kick it out of the anchor point universe!

At first, the two sides had a few open and covert battles at the card table, until some era long ago, a dragon carrying seven wishing beads and a child, plus a blue-faced butler, tied another thread to this anchor universe outside the Origin Wall!

Then, both deaths were simultaneously stunned.

A bizarre change has inexplicably appeared in the rules of death, one that the two of them still cannot understand!

God, can he still retain his physical body after he dies?

It has existed for billions of years?
With an added halo, you still have the nerve to call it death? You might as well call it immortality!
So they shut down, feeling that the word "death" was a great disgrace.

What they did over countless eras to completely remove this rule is unknown.

But they did delegate authority for a period of time, otherwise so many new dimensions wouldn't have emerged.

The consensus reached by these two goddesses was to disrupt the game by subtly manipulating it without actually competing.

Even the Ancient One, an outsider, could see the deep-seated resentment they harbored towards the Dragon Ball universe. They viewed each other as hypocrites, charlatans, and con artists who used death as a pretext for their swindling.

The timeline has clearly reached a new juncture, and it's estimated that these gods are about to have a falling out!

For this reason, the Ancient One specifically reminded Carrot El.

In the world of men and women, one must learn the ways of the world. Although our universe is unique, one must choose sides when necessary!

Carrot El said he would seriously consider it. "When I can one day shatter the multidimensional world and the Origin Wall with a single punch, and when all things in the universe are born and destroyed in the blink of an eye, we'll see who's right!"
When he spoke of these things, Carrot El's gaze was very solemn: "Don't think that those demon gods have any high moral standards or rules governing them. As long as they can create more death, as long as they can afford the price, the dividing line between life and death can be easily broken."

"Under this unfair contract, we are always the ones being manipulated, except for one man named Constantine."

"So Piccolo, even if you want to kill someone in the future, you can't do it so easily. It's best to preserve the victim's body first, or destroy it to dust just in case."

"They will even completely annihilate the soul!"

"Please pass on these words to everyone for me."

"We must be fully prepared for the world of the dead."

"The gods are so old, it's really not easy for them to spit out an egg. We still need to think about this carefully."

“I suggest clearing out the Spiritual Time Chamber first. It’s isolated from the world, and it will be easier for you to complete these tasks there.”

After recalling what the Ancient One had once said, Carrot had a premonition, which was also his speculation.

Given the highly sophisticated system of death realms in the American comic book world, the Dragon Ball world's childish advantage of preserving the physical body will likely be completely eliminated before long.

Neither DC nor Marvel, nor characters like Death, Eternity, God, Fate, Satan, or Lucifer, would allow this kind of gameplay that repeatedly jumps around within the rules.

Carrot-El didn't know what deals these gods had made behind the scenes, but according to his speculation, it was only a matter of time before the Death Dimension of the Dragon Ball universe was kicked out.

To completely eradicate it, the scale would be enormous, likely triggering a Ragnarok from the underworld.

His intuition told him that his group would soon be involved in the game between these true gods, and that every step of the game was being orchestrated by them in secret.

Piccolo and Kami had no idea what Carrot was thinking, but seeing the faint worry between his brows, Piccolo silently suppressed his arrogance. The seriousness of Carrot's words made Piccolo's heart pound:

"Okay, Sun, I'll do as you say."

The god's eyes gradually glazed over, and tears streamed down his face: "So you've arranged everything perfectly for me now?"

Carrot El looked at him with a serious expression and said deeply, "God, I'm not joking with you. You'd better retire as soon as possible, or you won't even know how you died."

"If some rules undergo a qualitative change, you could very well disappear completely."

The god swallowed hard, a hint of bitterness appearing on his sallow face.
"Forget it, I think it's better to die sooner rather than later."

"Hurry up, I'm going to the Spiritual Time Chamber to see Number 17 and Number 18 first."

As Carrot El spoke, he walked toward the Spiritual Time Chamber.
