“Chronoa, can you help Freeza? He peered into that void, at that... Thing, and lost consciousness.” you say, clearly worried as Chronoa turns to you.
“Of course.” she replies, walking over and kneeling on either side of Freeza's head above him, placing her hands on his temples and closing her eyes. You see her left eye twitch, left hand's fingers twitch, but then she sighs out. Lowering her hands, then pushing herself up to her feet. “I have eaten those dreams, he won't remember what he saw beyond the veil of reality.”
“Thank you.” you say, Chronoa turning to face you. Her expression is unreadable, as if she's trying to cry, rage, accept your thanks or stab you. Perhaps all at once, only to again sigh out.

“You're welcome, Karn.” she says, a hint of warmth to her tired tone. But then her expression hardens, flying up and poking your chest with a finger. “But from now on, be CAREFUL! If you fire another attack AT the reality you're in like that again, your power can tear it open again!”
“I understand.” you reply, nodding once seriously. “But, why me? Why was it my power?”
“Because your power isn't entirely your own.” she says, your eyes widening in surprise. “I figured out how you became Fateless. It wasn't by your own doing, something you did, but by His.”

She gestures to your right arm, where Divine Dragon Force slumbers.

“Carrying a sliver of the soul of the Karn it was bound to along with it from the previous reality, when Divine Dragon Force left that previous reality and chose you, that merging of it with you is what changed your fate.” she continues. “With that soul piggybacking on your own, becoming a part of your subconscious, its influence is what changed your very being. Bringing along the Berserker Soul from that previous reality as I destroyed it, but also inevitably tying this reality to the one I erased.”
“Hold on. You're saying that if Karn were to be destroyed, truly erased, then this being wouldn't be able to perceive this reality anymore?” Mechikabura asks, you suddenly not liking his tone. “This being is here because of him?”
