Upon saying this, Chronoa glanced at Buu beside her and slowly said, "In your timeline, when the Wizard Bibidi brought Majin Buu to Earth, it was actually to break the seal of the Dragon God Zalama."
"At that time, Supreme Kai Shin was able to arrive just in time because Mr. Popo from another timeline had learned of this event and shared all the intelligence with the other timeline's Mr. Popo, allowing them to secretly guide the Supreme Kai to find Bibidi in advance and resolve the crisis."
"Eh? Mr. Satan, did Chronoa-sama just mention me?"
Majin Buu, who had been reading a comic and hadn't been listening to the conversation, suddenly raised his head and asked.
"No, no." Satan quickly reassured him, then turned his head back towards Chronoa, sweating nervously.
As a human, knowing such big matters, Satan suddenly had a bad premonition. With his insignificant strength, knowing too much was not a good thing.
After listening to Chronoa's explanation, everyone felt a bit embarrassed.
It turned out that such a powerful expert had been hiding among them.
This is as shocking as if someone told them that Satan's true identity is actually the Grand Priest...
Um?
Well, the idea of Satan being the Grand Priest might actually be even more shocking…
Goku scratched his head, finally understanding why Mr. Popo had been able to teach him so many things in the past.
Why an amazing thing like Hyperbolic Time Chamber on the Earth's Lookout.
It turned out all of this was because Mr. Popo had once been the attendant of the Dragon God Zalama?
"Chronoa-sama…" Goku glanced at the crystal ball.
In the crystal ball, countless Mr. Popo were merging into one.
"Mr. Popo now is…"
"Mr. Popo is merging back all his clones to restore his strength. After so many years, he's finally going all out!"
"Mr. Popo's full strength?" Goku's face immediately showed anticipation.
…
Returning back to Lin Chen's side.
As Mr. Popo's clones merged into one, Zalama released his full power as if facing a great enemy, watching cautiously.
Although Mr. Popo had once been his attendant, Zalama had not forgotten that he himself was only a clone of the real Dragon God Zalama.
However, facing his former attendant, it was impossible for Zalama to retreat.
"Popo, come, show me how much power you still have after all these years! Dragon Cannon!"
Behind Zalama, a dragon's roar sounded, and dozens of Super Shenron simultaneously roared, their mouths emitting a golden light that transformed into a rushing golden torrent, surging towards Popo.
Seeing this, Mr. Popo sighed, "Zalama-sama, please come to your senses."
Then, a tiny speck of light shot out from Popo's finger.
This light speck was almost invisible, like a spark near a campfire, but when Zalama's Dragon Cannon collided with it, the torrent suddenly stopped, then began to flow backward, ultimately colliding with the Super Shenron behind Zalama.
The previously imposing Super Shenron instantly turned into specks of starlight and dissipated behind Zalama.
Zalama's eyelids twitched immediately.
He naturally understood the hidden secret in that strike.
It was clearly Mr. Popo using the Power of Time to reverse his attack's time.
But the Dragon Cannon was an attack that Zalama had fused with the Power of Miracles.
In other words, in this brief confrontation, his Power of Miracles was completely overwhelmed by Popo's Power of Time.
Even though Zalama was now just a clone, the disparity between the two sides was too great.
"No! I must break the seal and restore my true power as soon as possible! Popo, today ends here! But the next time we meet, it won't be so easy for you!"
"When that time comes, I will make you pay for your betrayal!"
Zalama's face was gloomy as he left behind these sharp words, then a Space-Time door appeared behind him.
Taking the three dark dragon balls with him, Zalama stepped into the door and disappeared from this world in the blink of an eye.
Although Zalama left, he had already caused irreparable damage to this timeline.
Mr. Popo looked around, shook his head, and sighed.
"Zalama-sama, how much more destruction will you cause before you understand Zeno-sama's painstaking efforts?"
With that, Mr. Popo turned to Lin Chen and said, "Mr. Lin Chen, let me send you back to the Time Nest."
"Hmm?"
Before Lin Chen could react, the scenery around him changed, and they were back at the Time Nest.
"Brother Lin Chen!"
"Your Majesty?!"
In the distance, Goku and Vegeta shouted in surprise.
Chronoa, who had just discovered through her crystal ball that Lin Chen and the others had returned to the Time Nest, immediately rushed over.
Satan and Buu once again played the role of medics, treating the severely injured Gohan and others.
"Sorry, Chronoa-sama, we couldn't retrieve the dragon balls."
"It's okay, as long as you're back. Who could have expected the Dragon God Zalama to intervene."
Chronoa comforted them, then turned to Mr. Popo and thanked him, "Mr. Popo, thank you for saving us."
"Zalama-sama wanted to break the seal, so I couldn't stand by and do nothing anymore."
As Chronoa and Mr. Popo conversed, Lin Chen fell silent.
This time, Lin Chen was completely defeated. If it hadn't been for Mr. Popo, they all might have died at Zalama's hands.
Facing Zalama, even using all his strength, Lin Chen was completely outmatched. Whether in terms of techniques and divine power, Lin Chen was far from Zalama's opponent. His only advantage was that he possessed far more Power of Laws than Zalama.
But this advantage wasn't enough because Lin Chen's current divine power couldn't support large-scale use of the Power of Laws.
If things continued like this, he might be exhausted before defeating Zalama.
This wouldn't do; I must become stronger.
Otherwise, when he runs into Dragon God Zalama again, would he have to taste the bitterness of defeat once more?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but crave more power.
But when it came to becoming stronger, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Without the system, how could he become stronger now?
Super Saiyan 5?
Although he knew the method, he still couldn't master the true technique to transform into Super Saiyan 5.
Relying on other means?
Without the system, what should he do?
