Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

He rushed to his grandfather, asking anxiously, "Grandpa, is there any way to send it back?"

"..."

Seeing the restless Morty, Grandpa opened his lips a dozen times, but couldn't utter a single word, because he wanted to send a planet from one universe to another.

The energy consumption involved is almost astronomical, not to mention how troublesome it is to break through the cosmic barrier.

The only people capable of accomplishing this in a short time are probably those extremely unreliable braised lion's head meatball vendors...

"Yes... but the price we'll have to pay will be enormous..."

Chapter 291 Braised Lion's Head

The Fourth Dimensional Time Administration, nicknamed the "Braised Lion's Head Gathering Place," is a group of mysterious monsters whose heads resemble braised lion's heads, have only two hands, and no feet.

Although these guys manage the timeline, they generally don't bother with timeline issues unless something major goes wrong.

Because there are countless universes, there are countless geniuses who want to prove themselves as true geniuses. Among the self-proving challenges facing all geniuses, one involves time.

With so much work, who can possibly handle it all!

So, the goal is to get these beings, who are usually impossible to find and live entirely in a fourth-dimensional space, to intervene in the current situation.

The only way to accomplish this is through Schrödinger's cat.

Grandpa knows how to trigger Schrödinger's cat, but if it's just about using braised lion's head meatballs to intervene, they're not the kind of local door-to-door service that expects you to give them a five-star review.

These old men are all known for their volatile tempers; when they're in a Schrödinger's cat state, their anger flares up like crazy.

But the reason Grandpa hesitated was not that these people would beat people up like street thugs.

Hesitation, and the resulting intervention of these monsters, could cause any remaining clues in this universe to vanish...

Once that possible clue is lost, his revenge will become nothing but a mirage.

If we don't intervene...

Grandpa's gaze fell on Morty's anxious face, which was almost out of control. He and this "fake" Morty had been working together for half a year, and a deep bond had been formed between them.

In a sense, their relationship had evolved during their adventure to the point where they would shield each other from bullets.

Although Morty often complained about being betrayed by him.

But the other party's unwavering trust allowed him to find a faint, warm ray of light that belonged to him in this world.

Even so, when faced with his greatest wish in life, Grandpa still became unusually indecisive.

It's like a coin that's destined to never stand upright; one side must be up and the other down.

When Morty's most important thing collided with his own, Grandpa discovered that his most prized ruthlessness had completely vanished without a trace.

Only an old and frail man remains. When faced with a huge decision, he can no longer be as reckless as he was in his youth, making a decision that inevitably means one party will suffer.

"Motty..." Grandpa's eyes showed pain.

"Grandpa!" Morty, who understood the meaning in his eyes, hugged his grandfather tightly.

Having just admired this exquisite staff made entirely of precious metals, and with details that showcase the style of a legendary master of micro-sculpture, Tzeentch has just finished admiring it.

Seeing the two of them practically hugging each other and crying their eyes out, her lips twitched violently. After a second of guesswork, she knew that these two had definitely gotten stuck in a rut again.

But this is not surprising. Smart people and foolish people are the same; they are very prone to believing only what they want to believe.

This is both the condition for the birth of great things and the basis for the inevitable occurrence of foolish things.

Thus, he became the only outsider in the entire event.

Tzeentch, of course, wanted to give Morty some pointers and, incidentally, show her contempt for her grandfather, so she asked...

"I'm telling you, that's enough! Since when did you two suddenly develop such a compassionate heart for all living beings?"

"You two have killed more people than most people have ever met in their entire lives, so can you please stop thinking about saving an entire planet just because you've temporarily laid down your weapons? Why don't you go and save that girl and a few others, and the problem will be solved?"

"I really don't understand you two, why are you always acting so neurotic?"

After insulting the two, Tzeentch picked up his staff again to admire this rare and precious artifact.

After being teased, the grandfather and grandson looked at their hands that were tightly embracing each other, their faces flushed, and then they let go of each other with disgusted expressions.

"Ahem! Morty, nothing happened just now, right?" Grandpa asked Morty, pretending to be serious, but he was actually speaking to Tzeentch.

Morty gritted his teeth and replied, "That's right! Some things are either taken to the grave willingly, or taken to the grave passively!"

Glancing at the two men who were still preoccupied with how to keep quiet, Tzeentch slowly said, "If you two slow down any further, that little beauty is going to freeze to death!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yi's name, Morty lost all interest in silencing Jian Qi. He took the teleportation gun from his grandfather and opened a portal.

From the pitch blackness before them, where one could not see their own hand in front of their face, came screams of terror and a rapidly cooling wind.

Without the sun, the surface of any planet would return to its proper temperature.

This temperature is definitely not a pleasant 26 degrees Celsius, but true extreme cold, the kind of extreme cold that can freeze a person to death in a very short time!

However, thanks to Grandpa's positioning skills, it has always been very reliable.

Morty knew that Jiang Yi should be near the portal, so he activated his black-and-white vision, passed through the world of lines, and went through the portal to search for her.

Grandpa, who hadn't moved from the doorway, asked the AI ​​to analyze what had happened in the entire universe just now, and why a planet would suddenly travel here without any warning.

A few minutes later, when Morty returned carrying a girl who was almost frozen, Grandpa also saw an outrageous conclusion from the AI's analysis.

This sacred text has never been used in civilizations outside of the Love Planet, and its creator had an almost fanatical pursuit of pure love.

An investment of resources comparable to the Eye of the Universe, combined with the lifelong learning of a god-like genius, has created a book that can detect whose love a user has the deepest, and then transport the two people to their most familiar environment for a true love test...

However, due to its limited scope of use, it has always been used only by people in love, and only by those who would rather die than give up their innocence and those with burning passion.

Because few people use it and its application is limited, no one has ever tried to see just how far its power can reach!

So even the information that Grandpa himself collected, the records of the Love Star people themselves, and even the creators, did not know the limits of this thing!

Well, after all the Love Planet people were destroyed today, Grandpa finally realized just how outrageous this thing's abilities can be...

Pulling a planet from another universe...

Is this... the power of pure love...?

"If I had their talent, I wouldn't be in this situation..."

Tzeentch, who had somehow appeared behind Grandpa, asked in a seductive tone, "If using this book could allow you to see Diane again, would you use it?"

"You!" Grandpa turned around abruptly.

Chapter 292 Going to Save a Planet?

Diane...

Just like all Ricks trapped in the finite central curve need a Morty by their side, the Ricks trapped here are naturally the kind who have boundless feelings for Diane.

Perhaps the Ricks outside the curve went on to lead completely different lives; some married other people, some remained unmarried for life, and some fell in love with men.

But in the great castle built by C137, only Rick, who had the same life experience as him, was qualified to enter and become an exhibit bound by immortality.

"Go see her, see if your passion for her has faded over the years?"

Despite being reminded of Diane, the still-sane grandfather didn't foolishly do it because of Tzeentch's words. Instead, he asked, "Is this your revenge for destroying my body and putting you back into Morty's body?"

"Ha, people with dark minds see darkness in everything. I was just protecting Morty. You didn't really think a planet could break through the wall between two universes, did you? This is clearly a continuous torment."

Judging from Grandpa's mind, he was clearly still stuck at this moment, which showed how cunning these kinds of items with obvious mental effects could have a certain impact on the user and those around them.

Without saying a word, she pointed to the distance where Morty was still sitting in the chair, and then gestured to her grandfather to go and look at the book again to see if there was any connection between the two.

In a daze, Grandpa shook his head and instantly came to his senses. He, who always prided himself on being the number one expert in avoiding scams, now had a burning pain on his face.

I've always been someone who tries to get myself into trouble and prevent others from getting into trouble, but today I was so careless that I ended up getting myself into trouble over something so ordinary.

What a disgrace!

With a hint of annoyance, Grandpa sorted through his memories and realized that what had just happened seemed to have started with a series of abnormal changes when he brought Morty over through the portal.

It was as if some invisible energy was flowing from Morty's body surface, through the contact between his palm and arm, into his body.

When did my brain become so slow? I didn't even notice this unusual situation? No... this has nothing to do with being quick-witted!

Go save a planet?

When did I become so kind-hearted?

This is outrageous!

They're trying to elevate saving one person to saving the entire planet.

You're just bored!

After a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, Grandpa asked, "I'm clear-headed now. Your suggestion earlier was that you hoped the two of us..."

"No, now that you're awake, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Watching Tzeentch's swift escape, Grandpa's lips twitched violently. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Tzeentch was indeed as unruly as ever. However, it was normal for him to make some small moves, after all, it was he who forcibly stuffed the other back into Morty's brain.

Without a physical body, one can't wander freely in this colorful world and is trapped in another person's mind. Who wouldn't feel resentful?

But at the crucial moment, she still chose Morty, not to get revenge for what might have harmed Morty as well.

However, this situation is clearly not sustainable.

Who needs to be on guard against people every day?

"Wow! If this can give you some satisfaction, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Tzeentch, who had already run far away, turned back in surprise, because this was completely out of character for Grandpa!

Although she didn't express herself clearly to her grandfather, what she actually meant was that since Morty's test of love had failed, even if he could withstand it, he would still face hundreds of years of torment.

Then Grandpa and I definitely can't wait any longer.

Why not try to destroy this thing? But as for how to do it... Tsundere wants to make Grandpa suffer. With no good intentions, her suggestion is to let Grandpa also test his love.

If you pass the test, you'll not only get to meet Diane, but you'll also figure out how this thing works and use your clever mind to come up with a solution.

If it fails the test, then the two things piled together, coupled with the energy imbalance in this universe, might cause another explosion?

So this was basically done with no good intentions, and might even have hurt Morty's feelings. Tzeentch only mentioned it briefly to his grandfather, and after seeing that he had calmed down, he didn't bring it up again.
