Chapter 135: Where to go
The year following the Tournament of Power passed in both the blink of an eye and the eternity of cherished memories. Bell had spent the time refining himself in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, raising his first child, Linger, to adulthood, and welcoming a new addition to his family—Bra, his daughter with Bulma. Together, they worked tirelessly to ensure their children had the finest upbringing possible. Whether it was academic knowledge, combat training, or life skills, Bell and Bulma gave their all to prepare their children for the future.
Under the golden light of the setting sun, the Capsule Corporation courtyard bustled with life. The Z-Fighters, Beerus, Whis, Gohan's family, and others filled the space, their laughter and chatter blending into a harmonious melody of camaraderie. Tables were stacked with food, and the air smelled of grilled meats and sweet desserts.
Bell stood at the center, flanked by his family. His golden hair shimmered faintly under the light, and his calm demeanor masked the bittersweet emotions swirling within him. After the festivities wound down, he stepped forward, raising a glass.
"These years," Bell began, his deep voice carrying easily over the gathering, "have been the best of my life. I've fought beside you, grown with you, and loved every moment of it. But... it's time for me to move on. There's a multiverse out there, and I have to see it."
Bulma, holding back tears, kissed him on the cheek. His children embraced him, their sadness softened by their parents' teachings about adventure and growth. The goodbyes were heartfelt but laced with encouragement.
"We'll always be proud of you, Dad," Linger said.
"Just don't take forever, okay?" Bra added, her voice cracking slightly.
With a final hug and a kiss, Bell stepped into the air. His energy flared brilliantly, and with a wave, he was gone.
Bell floated in the infinite kaleidoscope of multidimensional space, the swirling hues of light and energy casting ever-changing shadows across his face. He rubbed his eyes, adjusting to the dazzling brilliance, and looked around at the seemingly endless row of portals, each leading to a different world.
The first portal shimmered with a tranquil energy. A dark-haired teen with sea-green eyes sat by a body of water, mending an injury. As he dipped his hand into the water, the wound closed instantly. The scene exuded a sense of magic and destiny.
The name "Percy Jackson" materialized beneath the portal, the words glowing faintly.
The next portal burst with wild energy. Inside, a blonde-haired teen with whisker-like scars stood atop a wooden pole, shouting with unshakable determination. The boy looked around 15 or 16, radiating enthusiasm.
The title "Naruto Shippuden" glowed beneath the portal.
Another portal caught Bell's eye. It revealed a straw-hat-wearing boy standing alongside a green-haired swordsman and an orange-haired navigator. They faced off against a clown-like foe with a ridiculous red nose. The scene bristled with adventure and chaos.
"One Piece," the words read.
A dark-blue-haired teen sprinted down a soccer field in the next portal. Wearing a white jersey, he passed the ball to a teammate who struck it fiercely—only for it to ricochet off the goalpost. The intensity of the moment radiated through the portal.
"Blue Lock," Bell murmured, tilting his head. "Soccer, huh? Doesn't seem like my usual thing, but... maybe?"
The following portal pulsed with magic. A white-haired teen swung a massive black sword with incredible power. The sheer force of his strikes sent ripples through the air, his face taut with concentration.
"Black Clover," the portal declared, its energy vibrating with promise.
Another portal shimmered softly, revealing a peaceful yet humorous scene. A brown-haired kid was arguing animatedly with a blue-haired woman dressed in an unusual outfit. The vibrant, fantasy-like backdrop hinted at a world filled with medieval buildings and quirky adventures.
"Konosuba," the word appeared below, evoking a chuckle from Bell.
The final portal drew his attention like a magnet. An orange-haired boy kicked an older man into a portrait of a stunningly beautiful woman. The older man yelled dramatically, complaining about his unruly son named Ichigo.
The title "Bleach" materialized below the portal, its fiery energy flaring briefly.
Bell stood in the corridor of portals, each one a doorway to an incredible new adventure. The sheer number of choices left him momentarily frozen. He rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling wryly. "I'm one of the most powerful beings in existence, and I can't even decide what world to visit next. Typical."
He let out a deep breath, his golden aura flickering faintly. "Alright, Bell. Time to pick one... eventually."
The multiverse waited.
AN: Bell is going to another World, I've chosen and now I hope you'll enjoy the Journey in a Galaxy Far Away...
