A curiosity that Dream and Killer discovered, was that Asgore could open portals to the multiverse showing not only the present, but also the past. Therefore it was possible to witness previous events that would be important for the choice they would make.

The multiverse that Shattered Dream chose showed a guardian of positivity blinded by his convictions, but after an epiphany something changed and this resulted in his death at the hands of his brother. And after seeing Nightmare's reaction to what happened, this time he promised that he would do things the right way and not fail in his duty to his family.

As for Killer, there was a contradiction in his choice compared to everything he had said so far.

- Let me get this straight, you kept pestering me about how magnificent and powerful your boss was and you wanted an equal, and now you choose... a weak version of him?

Shattered pointed to the portal in front of the group that showed a Dream who got what almost all of his other versions wanted. This pair of brothers had returned to being guardians of the golden and black apples under the tree in DreamTale, in other words, the guardian of positivity had managed to convince Nightmare to return to his original form and abandon his path of evil that caused so much suffering in the multiverse.

- He needs help. - Whispered Killer. - He is lost, just as I was before he found me. He needs to be rescued, to be reminded of who he is. I will do it, I can do it. I will save him just as he saved me. - With a stare at the portal images in front of him, Shattered simply raised his hands in surrender.

- All right, I'm not your mom, you make your own choices. - Nodding his head to Asgore, the fallen guardian indicated that they were both ready. - I won't say that I will miss you, but it was fun to remember what it was like to be with one of my brother's boys. - This time, Shattered spoke facing Killer, but Killer did not turn to face him.

- I think that not all twinkle twinkle little star are insufferable and deserve to die. Thanks for making me see that. - The voice came out as a whisper because his attention was still focused mostly on the portal he had chosen, but his words were heard by everyone. This brought a smile to Dream's face, perhaps the first genuine smile he had given in a long time.

- Very well, you have made your choices. - Asgore said as he directed the respective portals in front of each of you. - Enjoy your new lives.

Without hesitation, the duo stepped forward and disappeared as the portals closed. On this day Zero Infinity lost two inhabitants and two multiverses would have their histories shaken.


SHATTERED DREAM

Shattered Dream's hatred for Ink had not diminished one bit since the day his brother was killed, as well as his anger at himself for never giving the true value his only family deserved. But his eyes were opened thanks to the corrupted positivity that was now a part of him.

Stepping foot in a random AU in the Snowdin area, Dream could feel his magic coming back to him, so he prepared to make his way to the artist's house in the Doodle Sphere.

- I can't kill you, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways around it. - With a wicked smile and lost in thought, Dream barely noticed the approach of a local inhabitant. As he turned towards it, he could not believe what was in front of him, which resulted in a wild laugh. - Ice Wolf, one of the most pathetic monsters ever made by the creators with one of the most stupid functions. The first victim of my powers in my multiverse and... - With one of its tentacles, its victim was trapped and immobilized before it even had time to process what was happening. - My first victim in my new multiverse. Fate must really not like you, sonny.
