Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

Damn! Now it's time to reveal the secret!

"Alright! Before getting back to the main topic, as a very democratic person, if anyone has a question, just ask it once, and I'll answer them one by one."

Morty, who asked the most questions, immediately launched into a barrage of them: "Can anyone tell me what happened? Is there really someone monitoring Rick? How does C-137 know everything that's happening on our end? And also..."

Grandpa: "Shut up, you have the most questions. We'll talk to each other alone later!"

Beth: "Are you really my Rick?"

Sangmei: "It's like we died once and came back to life once. Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Morty: "Uh...you two? You two are Sammy and Beth!"

C137 Beth: "Me too, Beth..."

The chaotic situation lasted for a full five minutes. Faced with a barrage of questions from a group of people, Grandpa, who had originally intended to outmaneuver C137 in terms of communication skills, turned pale and forcibly silenced everyone.

Otherwise, after explaining all these miscellaneous issues...

That feeling... that sense of bragging that you all couldn't do, that feeling of being the only one who could do it, is completely gone.

With a light cough, Grandpa began to recount the incident involving the Shadow Group.

That is, the tech geeks who told them that everyone can have their own exclusive version of special time reversal.

That gave my grandfather a very bold idea.

That's why he sat on the beach contemplating life.

Compared to revenge, bringing a loved one back to life is not an easy decision to make, nor is it something that can be resolved with a single, decisive strike, because he is already old, nearly forty years old.

These long years are enough to turn a vibrant young person into a stubborn, hard, and inflexible stone.

And she... the world before her eyes, once resurrected, she would still remain on the path where she herself died.

How am I supposed to face her, and how is she supposed to face me?

This was the real reason Grandpa hesitated for so long. He had spent most of his life searching for the murderer, but in his later years, when he finally felt that revenge was hopeless, he wanted to see her one last time...

"You...you're admitting defeat?" Morty asked hesitantly. Although he knew that interrupting now would be asking for trouble, he still wanted to ask his grandfather if this meant that he had let go of his hatred.

This time, the grandfather, though interrupted, showed no displeasure. He looked at Morty with hopeful eyes and said, "No, revenge must still be taken. This means I will now devote myself entirely to nurturing you, because you are worthy of my efforts."

Morty: "What are you talking about???"

Grandpa: "Alright, let's explain that separately and get back to the main topic."

Back to the main topic, Grandpa also took the opportunity to diss another old man, saying that with his skills, time travel was almost impossible.

Meanwhile, a certain stubborn and obnoxious old man, despite having time travel technology, is afraid of the butterfly effect and dares not go back to the past.

C137: "What's it to you?"

In short, time travel and time reversal are two completely different things...

It also made him realize who his current enemy was.

Those braised lion's head meatballs wouldn't allow anyone to drastically alter the timeline, so time travel technology wasn't difficult for some geniuses at all. However, because of the existence of these monsters, they became extremely cautious.

C137 possesses time travel technology, but he rarely uses it, partly due to the butterfly effect, and partly because these braised lion's head meatballs are difficult to handle.

Who can blame them when they are beings of a higher dimension?

Only by killing them can one travel through time at will.

This is the problem that Grandpa has to solve, and coincidentally... there really is something in this universe that might be enough to kill the braised lion's head meatballs.

That was the storm of removing negative conditions triggered by that accident.

The reason why Grandpa originally didn't intend to get involved with this thing was simply that if it had some mystical enhancement, it might break through the finite central curve and completely reconnect this world with the endless world.

Even without any mystical influence, this storm is enough to reform a large number of people within its own trajectory.

For my grandfather, who had committed too many killings, this could be considered a great act of kindness.

So either way, it's something he earns, and it can ultimately play an important role in another matter. For Grandpa, this is exactly three times the happiness!

"That...storm wasn't part of your plan?"

"Of course not, do you think I'm a god?" Grandpa rolled his eyes at Morty. "If I were truly infallible, what happened back then could have been avoided."

"In short, when I decided to go back in time, I went back to the Shadow Group, studied with them for a day or two, and then returned to the P850 universe to start looking for a suitable plan."

"Originally, I planned to use the time reversal device I placed in the Mirror City to create a sphere as large as the solar system and reverse this spacetime."

"I just didn't expect that with your mystical assistance, this matter would develop in a way that exceeded my expectations, even taking it to another level."

"The moment that bible of pure love appeared, I knew that the opportunity I had been waiting for so long had finally been seized by you."

At this point, Grandpa suddenly seemed to remember something. He stood up from his chair, took out the teleportation gun, opened a portal, and sent C167 Jerry away. Only then did he continue, "So I seized this opportunity and single-handedly got everything done in one go!"

Chapter 306 Competition

After Grandpa finished speaking, everyone present lowered their heads to think about the problem, because even though Grandpa said he had explained everything clearly.

But everyone knows that.

He's hiding at least half the information from us!

The device that removes negative personality traits and bad states—that exclusive personal item—wouldn't have caused such a storm if it weren't for the intervention of the extremely kind Grandpa.

This is a detail worth noting.

Grandpa has always put an intelligence lock on himself as a debuff. If the intelligence lock is considered a negative state, does that mean that Grandpa in his "perfectly benevolent" state is at his peak?

Moreover, Grandpa has always said that he is not good at scientific research. Is this a strategy to hide his true abilities?

Like all seasoned shrewd swindlers, they wouldn't dare show their faces in front of their peers if they didn't have dozens of cards up their sleeve.

Then there was the time they went to arrest the Shadow Group.

What exactly caused the portal to malfunction and fail to redirect?

You know, if that thing goes wrong, all the body's organs could be in a mess, like Lego bricks, randomly piecing together a jumbled 'thing'.

So why was he alone on the giant turtle's back, while Grandpa and Sangmei could appear together on a beach?

Is this also a way of using one's own metaphysical luck to force an opportunity out of nothing?

Secondly, there was the P850 universe just now.

Grandpa gave him a teleportation gun, but he couldn't leave that universe. However, after he finished eating, everyone was able to leave that universe again.

This can be summarized as the teleportation gun having some problems.

And another thing! And another thing! Most importantly, there's the troll Rhine! Looking back now, the whole thing felt like a test to me.

Then, considering my maternal grandfather's attitude, it seems he intends to pass on his mantle to me.

Having finally figured things out, Morty could only inwardly exclaim how awesome he was. After all, not everyone can seize opportunities from random events and use them for their own benefit.

You see, if you make a mistake in just one step...

Wait! Jerry's here!

After C167 Jerry left, when only two of the three Jerrys remained, we saw C137's pensive face and Beth's eyes filled with longing for Jerry.

Morty shuddered.

Good guy!

Did he include C137 in his calculations as well?

Even including C137 Morty?

Then there's Jerry, C167 Jerry, Beth, and myself...

Damn it! Are you addicted to playing dumb to fool others?

At this moment, Morty finally saw his grandfather's Plan B, as well as another side plan, which was C137. If his grandfather messed things up, then as long as C137 Morty was tied to the P850 universe, C137 would go to save C137 Morty no matter what.

But how do we get C137 Morty to slip away right under C137's nose?

Yes! It's myself! Only myself! And only myself!

Morty recalled the few times he had met C137 Morty, the admiring look in the other's eyes, the respect he felt, and the fact that he never expected there to be such a powerful and confident Morty in a parallel universe.

He sees himself as a role model, enabling those who are unwilling to settle for mediocrity and yearn to achieve greater life value to find an idol of their own.

This means that Grandpa knew that C137 had been observing him all along, otherwise how could he have lured C137 Morty into the trap?

So, the surveillance of Rick also exists...

This Plan B is probably what makes C137 so unhappy, because Grandpa is trying to ride a dragon and a tiger, but he's also touching the dragon's Achilles' heel, making this old dragon jump into the pit.

That's incredibly bold...

The last side plan is to get Jerry back into the family...

To this, Motti has nothing to say!

After going through all that trouble, why do you insist on bringing Jerry back?

While Morty had already begun to secretly observe Jerry, C137, sitting opposite Grandpa, saw things much more deeply than Morty did.

The item that fell to the ground from the shelf that Jerry bumped into, causing a small explosion, was definitely not one of his C137 creations.

It must have been some old scoundrel who slipped it in without the AI's knowledge.

The other party had planned all of this in advance.

The purpose was to ensure that when those two extremely powerful energies collided, they wouldn't completely destroy a large part of the universe, but rather cause the explosion to occur in the void of the cosmic wall, killing those braised lion heads.

This looks interesting; it seems worth playing.

C137's adventures have always been less about adventure and more about passing the time.

After all, his own past art style involved leading a dozen or so freedom fighters to confront empires like the Galactic Empire head-on on the battlefield.

The adventures I've been on with C137 Morty these days, aside from the occasional dangerous situations, are mostly just desserts after a meal.

It's just that I ate too much dessert.

Someone prepared a fancy dish for him, and he didn't even realize it?

Good guy!
