Chapter 59: Friendship? Blame Yourselves for Fighting Each Other
"Hey, hey, did you tell Dad that the condition for summoning Mr. Goku is to think of the strongest person in your heart?"
Chronoa rested her hands behind her head, pretending she didn't hear anything, even whistling cheekily.
"Vegeta's coming too?" Son Goku, completely unbothered, clenched his fists with excitement. "Alright, let's get moving then!"
Lin Qi was even more indifferent. In this situation, it would actually be odd if Vegeta didn't come.
Speaking of strength, apart from the hairless cat, it was basically just Whis and Vados!
He was here purely to watch the show.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was completely helpless when it came to magic. After all, even during his studies with Cognac, he had never encountered any magic!
What's more, across all the universes, no one seemed interested in exploring the realm of magic.
It seemed like being a mage had become an exclusive symbol of the Dark Demon Realm!
Was it because they betrayed the Grand Priest?!
Listening to the places Chronoa mentioned just now, Lin Qi guessed they were likely strange historical anomalies caused by the appearance of the Dark Dragon Balls.
In the end, this was all thanks to Towa's loyalty—well, her loyalty to Mechikabura.
Towa, for some reason, discovered Mechikabura trapped in a black egg.
For those familiar with Dragon Ball Heroes, they should know this stemmed from the scheming Demigra!
Demigra, wanting to kill Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time from 75 million years ago, repeatedly altered timelines, creating distortions in time and space.
As a result, Mechikabura escaped from the temporal cracks.
However, such a massive escape consumed his energy, reducing him to a black egg!
Hidden in the Dark Demon Realm, he was eventually found by Towa, who successfully awakened him.
Coincidentally, a Dragon Ball creator also appeared in the Dark Demon Realm. Whether this person was Dende from Namek remained unclear.
During activation, something went wrong, scattering the Dragon Balls across seven different timelines.
Towa gained the power of the Demon God from Mechikabura. Naturally, once the boss emerged, the underlings followed suit.
As Mechikabura's old nemesis, Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, naturally couldn't just stand by. She sensed the timeline distortions.
This led to Trunks being conscripted as a laborer and Son Goku joining the fray.
The first Dark Dragon Ball had already appeared earlier on Namek, parasitizing Frieza.
"Hmph! Kakarot, don't think you can secretly get stronger all by yourself!" Vegeta snorted arrogantly.
"Who's this guy?" Vegeta quickly noticed Lin Qi, who was silently zoning out nearby. His gaze was full of disdain.
"Another Saiyan? Hmph, doesn't look like much. Trash!"
"Heh..." Lin Qi smirked coldly, clenched his fist at his side, and swung it toward Vegeta.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Vegeta was struck on the cheek, stumbling back two steps.
He stared at Lin Qi in shock, gritting his teeth in anger. "You damned bastard... How dare you strike the noble Prince of Saiyans!"
"Fix your attitude!" Lin Qi flicked his wrist disdainfully, glaring at Vegeta. "Acting all high and mighty without any real strength—what a joke!"
In the last GT timeline, to put it bluntly, you'd have to lower your pride and beg him—yes, beg him—to protect Earth!
"I'll kill you!" Humiliated, Vegeta roared in fury. Energy erupted from beneath his feet as he launched himself forward.
"Not even as good as your GT self," Lin Qi muttered dismissively, not even sparing Vegeta a glance. This guy just needed a good beating to calm down.
"Dad, stop it!" Trunks stepped between Vegeta and Lin Qi, acting as a mediator to defuse the tension.
"Move aside! Or I'll hit you too!" Vegeta shouted, clenching his fists, before charging toward the obstructing Trunks.
"Bring it on!" Lin Qi stepped forward, shoving Trunks aside. With a low growl, he unleashed a bit of his combat power.
"So strong! I want to spar with Lin Qi!" Goku exclaimed with wide eyes, his excitement mounting.
"Hey, let me spar with you too!"
With a loud yell, Goku leaped and flew toward Lin Qi.
The scene quickly descended into chaos.
Powerful energy waves erupted and interweaved, scattering the Time Scrolls on the table.
"What the hell are you guys doing?!" Chronoa yelled furiously, watching the three of them clash.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the Time Nest looked as though a hurricane had swept through it.
Son Goku, Vegeta, and Lin Qi had torn off the roof, revealing the clockwork-filled sky above.
The fierce collisions, high-speed movements in mid-air, and afterimages left streaks of light behind.
Chronoa and Trunks stood below, dumbfounded.
"Damn it... My Time Nest!" Chronoa screamed, clutching her head and pulling at her hair in frustration.
In perfect timing, the Tokitoki bird perched on a tree nearby flew over to Chronoa, landing on her shoulder and chirping, "Toki~ Toki~"
"Ha!"
With a loud roar, Vegeta struck toward Lin Qi, who was locked in combat with Goku.
Calmly, Lin Qi used his elbow to block Goku's punch, twisted his body, and dodged Vegeta's kick by flipping away.
"Kakarot, stop interfering with my fight against him!" Vegeta growled furiously, gathering energy in his palm and firing it at the two of them.
"Boom!"
The energy blast exploded, creating rolling smoke.
Through coughs, Goku's voice emerged, "Cough, cough... Vegeta, where are you aiming?!"
"Whoosh!"
Lin Qi suddenly appeared behind Vegeta, raising his fists. "Take this!"
"Damn it..." Vegeta plummeted rapidly but quickly stabilized himself, charging at Lin Qi once again.
The smoke dispersed, and Goku, fists clenched in excitement, flew at Lin Qi as well.
The three streaks of light collided and interwove in mid-air once again. The sound of punches and kicks echoed, occasionally accompanied by explosive energy flashes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
"Stop it!" Trunks shouted anxiously, trying to mediate.
But the three combatants, lost in their excitement, only fought harder, ignoring him entirely.
"Hmph, let me be brutally honest—you two are no match for me!" Lin Qi said with an air of calm, effortlessly deflecting their combined attacks.
