Returning to the tournament venue, the battle between Android 18 and Trunks and Goten concluded with Android 18 exposing their identities. Thus, Trunks and Gotrn were declared defeated without fighting.
With only Mr. Satan and Android 18 left in the arena, Satan knew his life was in danger.
Fortunately, Android 18’s motive was money, and nothing else. Under her coercion, Satan agreed to hand over the entire prize money to her, along with an additional bonus, in exchange for securing his own life and glory of being undefeatable.
“I announce that the champion of this World Martial Arts Tournament is none other than our hero, Mr. Satan!”
As the announcer declared Mr. Satan the champion, the entire Earth erupted in excitement, with everyone proud of their hero Satan once again winning the championship.
In the arena, Satan’s name continued to resound through the sky.
Meanwhile, not far from the arena, in the sky.
Trunks and Goten, whose identities had been exposed, were watching the arena from a distance along with Videl.
Trunks and Goten felt embarrassed about their identities being revealed and didn’t want to return, while Videl knew the truth about her father and was embarrassed to face her father’s supporters.
Sighing, Videl asked, “Goten, where’s your brother, Gohan? Where did they go?”
“It seems they went to deal with a bad guy, um… what was his name…” Goten struggled to remember, but Trunks reminded him, “It’s Majin Buu! He’s a big bad guy from an alien planet, and Dad and the others went to deal with him.”
“Is that so? It seems that we’ll still have to depend on you guys for protecting the Earth, just like the Cell Games back then,” Videl sighed.
Trunks was puzzled, “Videl, you know about what happened back then?”
“Yeah, Gohan has told me everything!” Videl said helplessly.
Ever since she found out that Gohan’s family were the actual golden-haired warriors at the Cell Games, she knew that her father was just an imposter who had taken credit for others’ achievements, which was hard for her to accept.
No wonder she had always felt that her father’s strength wasn’t as impressive as he claimed.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, Videl’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and she asked, “Goten, didn’t you say that Uncle Goku and the others left?”
“Yes, why?” Goten wondered.
“Then who are those people down there?” Videl pointed to the ground.
Following her finger, Trunks and the others were astonished to see Goku and the others, who should have left, now appearing at the World Martial Arts Tournament’ venue.
At the same time, on the stage, the tournament’s host also noticed Goku and the others.
“I’m sorry, everyone, you seem to have arrived late. Because you left without permission, the committee has disqualified you from the tournament.”
Surprisingly, Goku and the others paid no attention to the host. Instead, they spread out, seemingly surrounding Android 18.
“What are you guys doing? Krillin, what’s going on?” 18 asked Krillin among the group, feeling puzzled.
But to her surprise, Krillin didn’t say a word.
“Krillin…”
As 18 was about to approach her husband for answers, someone unexpectedly stepped out from behind Goku and the others.
“18, long time no see.”
18’s gaze froze as she found herself face to face with Android 16, who she hadn’t seen in ten years!
…
As events that seemed to hint at something significant occurring on Earth unfolded, in the higher-dimensional Time Nest.
Lin Chen passed through the Space-Time door and returned to the Time Nest.
He glanced at the bookshelf and sighed, “Chronoa-sama, it seems there are no new missions?”
“That’s right.”
A delicate voice sounded, and Chronoa’s petite figure emerged from beside the bookshelf.
“There really are no more missions! It seems that person from the Dark Demon Realm has finally given up.”
“It’s all thanks to you!”
“Ding!”
The moment Chronoa finished speaking, a voice from the system also sounded in Lin Chen’s ears: “Congratulations, host, on completing the chain missions. The mission is now complete.”
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The system’s notification confirmed that this ten-year-long mission was finally coming to an end.
Speaking of which, the reason he was able to completely stop the disturbances in history was largely due to his battle with Jiren back then.
After the 72-hour battle, Jiren revealed an important piece of information to Lin Chen. The person who had granted him power from the future was a mysterious woman in a red dress emitting a demonic aura.
Based on Jiren’s description, Chronoa quickly identified the woman’s identity. She was likely Towa, the dark sorceress from the Dark Demon Realm!
Dark Demon Realm is a dimension where all the evil people of the world are imprisoned.
In that dimension, the strong ruled, and the cream of the crop among them were a group of dark sorcerers.
Towa, who disrupted the timeline, was one of these sorcerers.
As a dimension that imprisons evil people, the Dark Demon Realm is a sealed-off world, and only a few individuals could escape it temporarily relying on their immense power.
Chronoa suspected that Towa’s goal in disrupting the timeline was likely to break the seal of the Dark Demon Realm and allow its inhabitants to freely enter the Multiverse.
The birth of a parallel world would release a massive amount of energy, which, if harnessed, could potentially break the seal of the Dark Demon Realm.
After obtaining this clue, Chronoa temporarily left the Time Nest and personally visited Zeno, Grand Priest and others.
According to her explanation, she had asked them for help in strengthening the seal on the Dark Demon Realm.
Now, it seemed that this measure had indeed worked.
After that, the number of worlds whose timeline was being disrupted stopped increasing and gradually decreased, thanks to Lin Chen’s efforts to resolve them.
“Thank you, Lin Chen. Your mission is now complete,” Chronoa expressed her gratitude. “You’ve done a great job, and I’m not sure what reward I can offer you, so let me impart a bit more knowledge on how to use the Power of Time.”
Saying that, Chronoa pointed her finger at Lin Chen’s forehead, and a more advanced technique to use the power of time was transferred into Lin Chen’s mind.
In fact, during this ten-year effort, Lin Chen had already received an astonishing number of rewards from the system’s missions, and it could no longer be said to be a waste of time. Now Chronoa’s reward exceeded his expectations.
“Thank you, Chronoa-sama. Please contact me if you need any help in the future.”
“Alright, you may go.” Chronoa waved her hand at Lin Chen, opening a Space-Time door for him to return.
Lin Chen took a step forward and left the Time Nest, returning to his own universe.
“This was quite an experience, I suppose? It’s been ten years already. I wonder how things are on Planet Vegeta and Earth?”
