Silence - The God of Evil (Part 20)


All he wants is Hell on Earth!










From Goku Daimao


C18 blinked a bit and shielded her eyes with her hand from the suddenly falling light. A few minutes ago it was pitch dark. Arale and the children were startled and had started to whimper. She almost had a heart attack herself, at least she couldn't even see her hand in front of her eyes, it was so dark.


And then there were those strange noises from the fighting. Someone had screamed and another, presumably Silence, had made stupid remarks.


Now the darkness was gone again and had given way to the daylight that burned her eyes badly. She could vaguely see that the other fighters had scraped around a body lying on the ground.But whoever lay there couldn't see them.


"What happened?", Arale asked and gently stroked a few of her blonde strands from Maaron's face.


"I have no idea. It looks like Silence just defeated someone."


"What if?"


Suddenly she jumped up and hurried to C18 to the window. Her voice indicated that she was in a panic and her eyes were wide.


"Don't worry, Vegeta and Gohan are still alive, it must have been one of the others."


"Man, I hope Bulma and Videl find these damned stones and Goku can transform into this fifth element. Even if I still can't imagine anything about it."


Arale's long dark blue hair fell heavily on her back as she leaned on the windowsill and looked out, lost in thought, with empty eyes.


"Yeah, I hope so too, otherwise it looks damn bad for us."


The blonde woman also stared into this unreal world that rose before her and tried to forget everything for a moment.So much had happened, so much pain and grief, so much hatred and hopelessness, she couldn't take it all at once. She might be finished with it for a day or two, but then she would give in to tears and despair.


"But, do you know what I'm really interested in?"


C18 woke up again and looked questioningly at Arale.


"No, what?"


"Why is he back?"


"Who? Silence? Muten Roshi explained that to us. The monks put some false curse on the dimensional gate so that he could get out of this strange planetary constellation."


"Yes, that's true, but don't you still find it strange?"


"In what way?"


"Well, there comes a god, an evil god, the worst of all times and murders and kills almost the entire population of the world and apparently cannot be stopped by anyone. If you had been one of the monks back then, you would have simply had an indiscriminate curse said just to get rid of him for the moment? "

C18 paused for a moment to better understand Arale's point of view.


"No, I think I would pick the strongest curse there is to lock it away forever."


"Exactly."


Arale's eyes took on a strangely fiery look.


"And what does that mean now? That the monks acted negligently?"


"No, I don't think that was the case."


"How so?"


"The Hootaro priests are among the most conscientious and responsible of all time. Hardly any other order takes the task of protecting the planet as seriously as they do. I do not think that they made a mistake back then when it was about the fate of humanity went. "


"Then what do you think?"


A bad feeling slowly arose in 18-18. She thought she understood what Arale meant and she didn't like that at all.


"I believe that Silence did not come free on its own or because the planets were in a special constellation, but ......."

She became calm and looked at the floor with a clenched fist.


"But what?"


"But that someone who was or is more powerful than these priests has released him."


Even though 18 knew she was going to say that, it frightened her. Alone, the idea that someone would release this monster for whatever reason was repulsive and terrifying.


"But why would anyone do that?"


"I've already thought about that, but so far I haven't come up with a logical answer. Maybe out of revenge, maybe to become master of the universe, no idea."


"Maybe someone did it for fun," a child-like voice warbled.


Arale and 18 turned around and saw that Maaron, Trunks and Son-Goten had listened carefully and were now crouching next to each other on the large four-poster bed.


"For fun? Well, I don't know Trunks. Then that someone has to be very sick in their head to find this fun.""replied Arale and sat down with them.


"Are we mentally sick too?" Asked Maaron.


The two women looked at each other in panic.


"But why is that, my darling?" Asked C18 and patted her head.


"Well, because when we were celebrating at Aunt Bulma's, we caught a fly and then threw it into a spider's web. It's almost the same."


"But no, that's completely different. You are not sick in the head."


While C18 was saying this, Arale had strong doubts.


It wasn't that different. Sure, only one fly was killed with the fly, and there were thousands of innocent people here, but the principle was the same. You looked for victims and confronted them with an overpowering opponent. It was the same whether it was a spider or the forefather of all bad guys.






"What's that supposed to mean again? Why can't this stupid diva write normal sentences.For example: the stone of fire lies there and there, that's really easy. You could almost think that she just wants to hold us off longer. "


Son Goku stomped pissed off through the empty room in the museum. He hated waiting, and apparently waiting was his main preoccupation here. He should have stayed with Vegeta and his sons and fought with Silence instead of doing crossword puzzles here in some old walls.


"Now do it halfway. The diva is a very wise and nice woman. She would never make our way difficult."


Bulma was outraged that he showed so little appreciation and trust in Miss Plavalaguna and even attached such things to her.


"Then why does she write such gibberish?"


Vegeta's wife did not have a suitable answer to this question either.


It was kind of weird. She really would have made it a lot easier for them if she had written perfectly normal sentences, but she certainly had her reasons.

"Now calm down, your good old Videl has the answer to the riddle already at hand."


"Oh yes? And how is it?"


"Well, it is clear, with this extinct monster a silent volcano is meant. So the stone of fire is in a volcano."


"Oh, I would have thought of that too, but you're forgetting a girl, there are hundreds of extinct volcanoes. It takes us far too much time to visit them all." Goku raged.


He hated doing nothing, just standing around stupid while his friends and children struggled with this monster.


"Because I have a solution for that too, I'll forget your insult. There is a volcano named after the Greek god Hephaestus."


Both Bulma and Goku then stared at her with uncomprehending eyes.


"And?"


"God, you are difficult to understand. Hephaestus means Vulcanos in Roman. There is a volcano, which, as the god of fire is called, and which has been inactive for almost a hundred years."

Slowly the two pennies fell and they got a light glow in their eyes.


"Videl, you are a genius.", Goku shouted and kissed her on the cheek, then grabbed her by the arms and pulled her out of the museum with him. Bulma ran after them panting.




"I do not understand that."


The voice of the old, small and, above all, scratchy witch became more and more nagging and soon resembled a chainsaw. Uranai Baba now slipped around on her chair as if she had Hummel in her bum and hastily drank one glass of hard liquor after the other.


"What do you not understand?" Replied Miss Plavalaguna and gradually got an annoyed expression on her face.


"Well, the thing about aging. You said that Silence can't age because he's a god. But you age, even though you're basically the boss of everyone: That just doesn't want to get into my skull."


"Well then, listen to me very carefully now.As you know, I created and shaped all this stuff, time, earth, universe and all the little galaxies with my own hands. So you're right that I normally can't age. But I made a rather reckless and silly mistake a few centuries ago. Back then, out of sheer boredom, I just didn't know what to do anymore. However, one day I noticed that it was quite funny on earth. Giant lizards ran around and ate each other, I thought that was funny. So I transformed into the shape of a lizard you think you call a dinosaur, and I had a lot of fun.


After a couple of weeks, I got bored again, so I sent an asteroid to Earth and put on a big fireworks display, and now, unfortunately, almost two thirds of the life forms on the planet died out. Then I disappeared again and went about my job as ruler of the universe.

However, I had changed. I had actually aged. At first I couldn't explain it to myself, but then it fell like scales from my eyes. When I transform myself into a completely normal creature, like a dinosaur or a person, then I also accept its mortality and the physical laws of nature. That means that I age quite normally. And when I then return to my original form, then I keep the age that I had as a transformed being and then don't age any further.


And Silence found that out a little faster than I did, so he was always able to move freely in his original form at a young age. Well, yes, in the course of time I went to earth or other planets more and more often and therefore got a little older until I am no longer able to fight alone and, above all, to fight against
