“Light of Annihilation!”
Boom!
A blinding light erupted out before everyone, temporarily blinding almost everyone.
As their vision gradually returned, they noticed the golden dragon had vanished under Lin Chen’s attack.
“Amazing, Dad!”
Seeing such a powerful move nullified by Lin Chen, Lin Luo and Taro jumped up excitedly.
Others also sighed in relief.
However, at this moment, Zalama in the sky sneered.
“You think you’ve nullified my technique? Ignorant fools!”
“Eternal Dragon! God of All Realms! Hundred Dragon Descent!”
In an instant, ten identical golden dragons appeared from Zalama’s palm, each one roaring fiercely as they charged at Lin Chen.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
An attack ten times stronger than before crushed down. This time, even though Lin Chen used Ultra Instinct Kill, he didn’t have the strength to block ten attacks at the same time.
To protect everyone, Lin Chen had to unleash all his power, merging all Power of Laws to create a Law of Shield before them.
Crack!
Lin Chen’s full-strength move only blocked two golden dragons before shattering. The backlash from the barrier breaking sent him flying, coughing up blood.
“Time Lock!”
Chronoa shouted, unleashing all her Power of Time without reservation.
Eight chains formed from Power of Time flew out from all directions, wrapping directly around the remaining eight golden dragons, trapping them completely in a time turbulence, freezing them in place.
“Everyone, take Lin Chen and leave quickly!”
Hearing Chronoa’s shout, Goku instructed everyone to hold hands, preparing to use Instant Transmission to escape.
But as he was searching for a moving coordinate, Zalama, who was watching the spectacle with folded arms, sneered.
“Want to leave? Eternal Dragon! Dragon of Space!”
With a flick of his finger, a silver dragon appeared behind Zalama, its pupil-less eyes glowing silver.
The next moment, Goku, who had just locked onto a spatial coordinate, suddenly realized that he couldn’t use Instant Transmission!
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Popo’s turn.” Mr. Popo called out, stepping forward as a Power of Law shone beneath his feet.
Moments later, the light faded, and Mr. Popo said, “Not good, the Dark Demon Realm’s space is sealed! It’s Zalama-sama’s doing!”
“What?”
Everyone turned their eyes towards Zalama’s back.
It was the silver dragon!
“Ah!”
At this time, Chronoa cried out.
She collapsed to the ground, spitting blood just like Lin Chen.
The eight golden dragons had broken free from the Power of Time’s constraints, moving again.
Hearing the golden dragons’ roars, everyone felt dizzy, their hair standing on end.
Are they going to die here today?
“I won’t let you die here!”
At this moment, a crystalline light shimmered.
Mr. Popo leaped up, wind swirling around his hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One punch after another struck the eight golden dragons, turning them to ashes under his powerful blows.
“Mr. Popo!”
Everyone’s eyes widened, not expecting Mr. Popo to have such power.
But the next moment, Mr. Popo’s right hand which he used just now exploded.
“Mr. Popo!”
“Mr. Popo, you’ve let your divine power run wild? But if you do that…” Chronoa gasped.
“Divine power running wild?”
Others didn’t understand, but Lin Chen did.
In simple terms, Mr. Popo had used his body as a price to harness divine power beyond his limits.
In the Dragon Ball world, true gods could absorb Godly Ki from all things.
Similarly, they could directly use this Godly Ki.
However, a true god could only use a limited amount of Godly Ki; exceeding this limit would bring punishment.
To counter Zalama’s power, Mr. Popo had used divine power beyond his limit, saving everyone, but at the cost of his hand.
Yet, Mr. Popo had no complaints or regrets.
Suddenly, Mr. Popo turned to Lin Chen and said, “Lin Chen, the future of this world is in your hands. Please stop Zalama-sama…”
“Huh? Mr. Popo, you…”
Before Lin Chen could finish, Mr. Popo vanished, reappearing behind Zalama, tightly gripping him with his remaining hand.
“Zalama-sama, this is my final mission as the guardian of the seal.”
“Popo? What are you doing? Do you think you can defeat me like before? Remember, you’re just my attendant! And I have fully revived!”
“Popo knows, but even though Popo can’t win, I won’t let Lin Chen and the others die in this Dark Demon Realm.”
“What? What are you doing?!”
Suddenly, Mr. Popo’s body turned white.
It wasn’t a transformation; rather, it’s because Mr. Popo’s body had gathered immense divine power.
Such immense divine power left even Zalama momentarily stunned.
“Popo, aren’t you afraid of death? You’re a true god. Once you die, you’ll vanish completely from the world, and even your soul won’t remain!”
“Popo knows, but if it stops you, Popo isn’t afraid!”
At this moment, many images flashed before Mr. Popo’s eyes.
Among them was young Goku’s first visit to the Lookout.
“Are you that guy named Kami?”
“No, I’m Mr. Popo, Kami’s attendant.”
There was also Lin Chen’s first question to Mr. Popo.
“Mr. Popo, who exactly are you?”
And Mr. Popo’s first meeting with old Kami.
“Hello, I heard Kami-sama is here?”
“Yes, who are you?”
“I… I don’t know, I have no name, and I don’t know who I am or where I’m from…”
Various images flashed before Mr. Popo’s eyes like a revolving lantern.
Images of laughter.
Tears.
Family love.
Also, friendship.
Suddenly, a tear appeared in the corner of Mr. Popo’s eye.
“Farewell, everyone!”
As Mr. Popo’s voice fell, he and Dragon God Zalama turned into a white meteor, flying straight towards the clouds in Dark Demon Realm’s sky.
But before the meteor hit the clouds, it suddenly vanished.
Along with it, Dragon God Zalama’s immense aura disappeared without a trace.
