"Hmm?"
"What's going on?"
Seeing the previously aggressive Lin Chen retreating, the others were stunned.
Why did Lin Chen, who just wanted to go forward, retreat? Was he scared?
The others didn't know, but Lin Chen remembered what had happened earlier.
Chronoa's use of time reversal not only turned back time, but because Lin Chen had mastered the Power of Time, his memories were retained as well.
So he still clearly remembered that he was only a fraction of a second away from death.
While Lin Chen was shaken, Chronoa solemnly recounted what had happened.
After hearing it, everyone fell silent.
It turned out that Lin Chen had been that close to death just now? Zalama almost killed Lin Chen effortlessly. How strong was Zalama?
"What do we do, Dad? That guy…"
Lin Luo frowned.
To him, Lin Chen was always the strongest person in the world. Even after learning about deities like Zeno, this belief hadn't changed.
But today, he could feel that his father was truly afraid.
At this moment, Zalama was also pondering. Although he hasn't comprehended Power of Time, he was powerful enough to understand what had happened in an instant.
"Reversing time? You, the Supreme Kai of Time, who is in charge of time, dare to disturb time itself! How audacious!"
Zalama stomped his foot, causing the entire Dragon Realm to tremble.
Next moment, the ground under Chronoa's feet suddenly cracked, and a gray divine dragon suddenly emerged, wrapping around her and taking her into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Chronoa-sama!"
The gray divine dragon moved like lightning. By the time everyone tried to save her, it was too late.
However, it seemed Zalama had no intention of killing Chronoa.
The divine dragon circled in the sky and soon stopped above Zalama's head.
"Chronoa, since you are a deity in charge of time, I won't kill you for now. Watch carefully how these mortals die!"
With that, Zalama turned his gaze to Lin Chen, sneering, "This time, without her interference, let's see how you escape!"
"Dad?"
"We fight to the death."
Lin Chen spoke helplessly. Without Chronoa's Power of Time, they had to rely on themselves to defeat Zalama.
But just as Lin Chen prepared to attack, Zalama moved first.
"I've kept you waiting. I won't let you escape this time!"
Zalama coldly stared at Lin Chen and raised his hand.
"Witness my Dragon God's Power! Annihilate!"
After those cold words fell, a massive golden energy sphere appeared in Zalama's hand.
Without hesitation, he hurled it at everyone.
Sensing the terrifying power contained within the golden energy sphere, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
It was a tremendous power that could kill them instantly and even destroy the entire universe!
Facing this attack, everyone turned pale, unable to muster any resistance, except for one person…
Lin Chen stared at the falling energy sphere, took a deep breath, and then shook his hands, with an overwhelming aura erupting from his body.
Ultra Ego!
Ultra Instinct Kill!
Super Kaio-ken!
Lin Chen used all his trump cards.
With a deep roar, crimson aura surged skyward, and Lin Chen's aura reached its strongest state.
Then, he leaped into the air, meeting the gigantic golden energy sphere with his palms, slowing down its descent.
But immediately, Lin Chen felt an immense power, like a mountain pressing down, overwhelming him like a vast ocean.
Lin Chen was like a small boat in a storm, unable to resist, and his body started to sink rapidly.
Despite his entire body pulsing with countless veins and his face contorted, using all his strength, he still couldn't withstand Zalama's casual strike.
As Lin Chen's body kept falling, the others couldn't bear to watch and prepared to intervene.
However, Lin Chen, as if having eyes on his back, shouted, "Don't come over!"
"Lin Chen?!"
"This is not something you can handle. Leave! Get out of here!"
Only by resisting this power firsthand could one understand the astonishing force contained within Zalama's seemingly casual attack.
Lin Chen knew very well that if anyone else came, even Jiren, the energy surrounding the ball alone would evaporate them instantly!
If one's power wasn't at a certain level, approaching meant death!
Even without Lin Chen's detailed explanation, everyone realized this by now.
The golden energy sphere had descended to a height where they could feel its power.
Just being close caused the skin of some to get burned, forcing them to retreat quickly.
"What do we do?"
"Are we just going to watch?"
Just as everyone was at a loss, Goku suddenly said to Vegeta, "Vegeta, let's do this together."
"Kakarot…" Vegeta looked at Goku, understanding what he was saying.
"Since it has come to this, I understand."
At this point, they couldn't let Lin Chen fight alone anymore.
Even though their strength was far inferior to Lin Chen's and they weren't a match for Zalama, there was someone who could help—Gogeta!
Despite feeling embarrassed by the Metamoran Fusion Dance, Vegeta didn't hesitate this time.
For the world, for Bulma and his children, Vegeta was willing to set aside his pride!
"Let's do it!"
"Vegeta, make sure you don't mess up, or we'll have to wait half an hour to try again!"
"It's you who should try to not mess up!"
"Fu…sion!"
As Goku and Vegeta's index fingers touched, a blue light enveloped them.
A blue beam shot into the sky, and soon, the light faded.
Goku and Vegeta were gone.
In their place was a new face, now the strongest Z fighter besides Lin Chen—Gogeta!
"I almost forgot about this technique!"
Seeing Goku and Vegeta fuse, Lin Luo and Taro slapped their heads and prepared to fuse to help their father.
But Gogeta stopped them, saying, "Stay back! Don't get involved! You aren't Zalama's match even if you fuse!"
