Lin Chen blurted out Trunks’s name, unaware that Vegeta was also present.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Vegeta was stunned and said, “Your Highness, isn’t Trunks the name of my son? Could it be…”
Realizing that he had exposed Trunks’ identity, Lin Chen no longer concealed the truth. Anyway, this world’s Trunks had already been born.
“Vegeta, that Trunks from the future is your and Bulma’s child.”
“My… my child?” Vegeta exclaimed in shock.
Meanwhile, Goku said with an amused look, “Vegeta, so you and Bulma also ended up together in that world, huh? You two are quite amazing!”
“Shut up!” Vegeta blushed furiously.
As these two were talking, Lin Chen reminisced about the events when Trunks left.
When Trunks left to return to his own world, Lin Chen had asked him how long it would take for him to come back.
At that time, Trunks had told him that as soon as he ensured the safety of his mother, Bulma, and the time machine’s energy was replenished, he would return immediately.
In Trunks’ world, Earth was far away from Planet Vegeta and had not been attacked yet. The planet has various advanced research facilities, and the time machine didn’t require the lengthy three-year charge like in the original work.
However, to Lin Chen’s surprise, an entire year had passed without any news from Trunks. Lin Chen even started to suspect that he had been killed.
But who would have thought that Trunks was still alive and had returned from that world!
“Tights, where is that young man?” Lin Chen asked curiously.
If Trunks had returned, why didn’t Tights bring him directly?
Frowning, Tights replied, “Come with me to Earth, and you’ll find out. Trunks arrived with serious injuries and has already been taken to the hospital.”
“Serious injuries?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen turned to Bardock and the others and gave them instructions to handle the aftermath on Planet Vegeta.
Although Metal Cooler had been defeated, the recent battle had caused considerable damage to the planet. Many buildings had been affected, and some of the ordinary Saiyans who had taken shelter had also been accidentally injured by the aftermath of the fight. All of this required attention and care.
As for the retaliation against Big Gete Star, it would have to wait for now.
When Vegeta heard that Lin Chen was going back to Earth to see Trunks, he immediately volunteered to go along, and Goku naturally joined in the fun.
The group teleported back to Earth in an instant and soon arrived at Bulma’s house in West City, where they saw Trunks.
However, at that moment, Trunks was undergoing treatment in Bulma’s medical machine.
The medical machine was a replica of the model commissioned by Lin Chen from Dr. Brief back then, and later Vegeta had taken it out for his own use after settling down here.
Upon seeing his son covered in injuries, Vegeta couldn’t help but exclaim, “How did Trunks end up like this? Didn’t he say that Earth in that world was safe?”
“Trunks? Vegeta, what are you talking about? Trunks is perfectly fine in my arms,” Holding little Trunks in her arms, Bulma asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
Vegeta then revealed the true identity of Trunks.
“What?”
Bulma was taken aback, but Brief family’s easygoing nature quickly calmed her down. She walked over to Vegeta with little Trunks in her arms and teasingly said, “Vegeta, so we are connected in the other world too?”
“Shut…Shut up! There are so many people here!” Vegeta blushed.
“Alright.”
Lin Chen interrupted this odd couple and said, “Bulma, let Trunks out. I have some special medicine.”
“Senzu Bean? No need. He’s almost healed. Trunks was just exhausted; his injuries weren’t severe.”
As Bulma spoke, she pressed a few buttons on the medical machine. After a few seconds, the healing liquid began to drain, and Trunks slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing the person in front of him clearly, Trunks, still wearing a breathing mask, spoke in a somewhat tired voice, “Mr. Lin Chen… It’s so good to see you all again…”
Later, in a resting room, Trunks sat before Lin Chen and the others, his face filled with worry as he held a cup of hot cocoa.
Seeing his troubled expression, Lin Chen furrowed his brows and asked, “Trunks, did something happen in your world?”
“Mr. Lin Chen?” Trunks immediately appeared uneasy upon hearing his name spoken by Lin Chen.
But Vegeta immediately interjected, “We already know everything; you don’t have to worry. The you of this world has already been born!”
Then Trunks saw Bulma shake little Trunks in front of him.
“Oh, I see. Trunks of this world was born a year earlier than me in that world,” Trunks sighed with emotion. Then he turned to Lin Chen and said, “Mr. Lin Chen, you were right. Something unexpected happened in my world…”
“Did Dr. Gero find you?”
“No, it was worse than that! Mom… Mom… she was turned into an Android!”
Trunks’s recollection plunged the audience into a somber atmosphere. No one expected that in just a year, the situation in Trunks’ world would deteriorate to such an extent.
…
Returning to one year ago, Future Trunks’ World.
Shortly after Future Trunks returned from Lin Chen’s world and told Bulma about Lin Chen, he began preparing to go back to Lin Chen’s world. The most important thing was ensuring Bulma’s safety once he was gone.
During Trunks’ absence, Androids attacked Earth. Although they temporarily left for unknown reasons, Trunks had to ensure that his mother wouldn’t encounter danger again.
However, just as Trunks was preparing a new shelter, two strangers suddenly appeared at his doorstep.
These two strangers were a young-looking guy with a short stature and a tall, long-haired old man.
They were both dressed strangely, and were clearly not from Earth.
“Who are you?”
Trunks asked with a wary expression on his face. These two suddenly appeared before him, and he hadn’t sensed their aura at all, which was suspicious.
Could they be Androids?
That was the first thought that crossed Trunks’ mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Unlike the Androids, he could sense the aura of living beings from these two individuals, and their auras were exceptionally strong. It reminded Trunks of the feeling when he had first met Lin Chen.
“Hello there, Saiyan Prince Trunks.”
The short person among the duo spoke first, wearing a smile, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Shin, the Supreme Kai who oversees the universe!”
