Chapter 71: Appear, Dark Shenron
---
In the Dark Demon Realm.
"Hehehe... First, I want to thank my dear subordinates... Thank you for gathering the Dragon Balls for me!" On the high platform's throne, Mechikabura was delivering his speech.
"The moment of the Dark Demon Realm's revival has finally arrived!"
The creator of the Dark Dragon Balls slowly stepped forward and spoke respectfully, "Then, Lord Mechikabura, shall we begin the ritual... now?"
"Come forth, Dark Shenron!!"
As the loud summon echoed, the remaining demons all looked up, staring intently at the changes occurring in the Dragon Balls.
The Dragon Balls began to emit a faint, dark glow...
At this critical moment, Towa raised her staff, her expression serious as she turned to Mechikabura, requesting to join the battle. "They're here..."
Lin Qi floated in midair with an indifferent gaze, listening to Towa's words. His peripheral vision swept toward the grassy field not far from the core of the Demon Realm.
The Time Patrol, led by Chronoa, along with Son Goku and his companions, had quietly arrived.
"Such troublesome foes..." Towa quickly leapt into the air, overlooking Goku and his team.
"I absolutely... will not let you disrupt the ritual!"
"Dark Demon Realm Imperial Army, attack!"
With Towa's command, a swarm of demon soldiers poured out like ants from a nest, surging toward Chronoa and her team.
"Haha... Trunks, let's fuse!" shouted Son Goten, the new member of the Time Patrol, childishly calling out to Trunks.
"Fusion... Ha!"
In a flash of light, Gotenks appeared.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, took a deep breath, and instantly summoned countless ghost-like figures resembling himself.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"
"Young Version!"
The countless ghosts charged forward, exploding on contact with the Dark Demon Realm soldiers. The sound of relentless explosions filled the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thick smoke billowed as vibrant fireworks momentarily lit up the endless dark sky.
"This is a place outside the control of time—let's go all out!" Chronoa exclaimed enthusiastically, punching the air.
"Heh, I've been waiting for this!" Goku shouted, transforming directly into his Super Saiyan 4 form.
Not to be outdone, Vegeta also entered his Super Saiyan 4 form and charged into the enemy army first.
"Take this, Big Bang Attack!"
Chamel watched in disbelief. While powerful, those attacks were essentially just energy blasts. Meanwhile, he...
Demonic markings appeared on Chamel's face as he raised his magical staff high. A massive black hole formed in the sky.
The black hole generated immense suction, pulling in numerous soldiers from the Dark Empire Army.
"Wow... what incredible magic," Gohan said in awe, gazing at the enormous black hole.
"Hmph..." Chamel let out a cold snort, trying to maintain a cool demeanor. But deep down, he was utterly exhausted.
The Demon God Mode drained his stamina rapidly...
In just a short time, most of the Dark Empire soldiers were wiped out, leaving the other demons restless. They began requesting Mechikabura for permission to join the fight.
"Tch... These soldiers are utterly useless!" Watching the devastation, Putine's expression turned grim.
Salsa, however, was puzzled. He turned to Towa and asked, "Isn't that red-haired guy over there the same Chamel who disappeared from their team?"
"Hmph, he's been helping the Time Patrol all along!" Towa's expression wasn't much better, but soon, a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"But... they're still too late!"
"Hahaha... You've all worked so hard!" Mechikabura grinned triumphantly.
His wish was about to come true...
Floating high above, Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, looking toward the core's peak.
At this moment, the light from the Dark Dragon Balls grew increasingly intense, and a hideously bizarre Shenron appeared in the sky.
"The one who has gathered the seven Dark Dragon Balls... state your wish!" The grotesque Dark Shenron spoke in a chilling tone, its enormous dragon face filled with malice. As it opened and closed its mouth, its sharp teeth were clearly visible.
"Grant me... Mechikabura..." Mechikabura shouted excitedly, raising his staff high.
"The power of my prime! Eternal Youth!"
"No problem! But it'll take a bit of time!" Dark Shenron responded.
That last sentence nearly ruined Dark Shenron's entire imposing presence!
Lin Qi watched expressionlessly, turning to glance at Goku and his team charging upward. He couldn't help but mutter sarcastically.
"Tch... Is it because this Shenron is weak, or is Mechikabura really that powerful? It even needs extra time?"
"Whoa... Is that really a Shenron?" Gohan exclaimed in shock, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"So huge..." Gotenks was equally surprised. Compared to Earth's Shenron, this one was unimaginably larger...
It was even bigger than the giant tree at the core of the Dark Demon Realm!
Chronoa, watching her team charge forward, shouted to boost morale, "Go! We still have a chance before Mechikabura's wish is granted!"
"Stop them! Don't give up until the very end!" Gotenks drew a one-handed sword from his back and charged into the fray.
In their Super Saiyan 4 forms, Vegeta and Goku also engaged the remaining enemy soldiers with punches and kicks.
What followed was a chaotic battle scene.
The flames of war raged on, smoke filled the air—these were just the basics. The Dark Empire Army was a massive force, overwhelming and relentless.
But the Time Patrol wasn't far behind, cutting through with precision and force.
At the core of the Dark Demon Realm, the battlefield was a storm of blood and chaos, shrouded in smoke.
This was a life-and-death melee, a battle fraught with peril.
Everyone fought with fierce determination, encountering their destined foes.
Dabura vs. Gotenks. As soon as they clashed, Dabura, in his Demon God form, delivered a powerful kick that sent Gotenks flying.
"Ahh..." Gotenks cried out as he was flung back. But just as he regained his footing, their fusion time ran out.
Goten and Trunks exchanged glances.
"Eh? Has it already been thirty minutes?" Goten blinked in disbelief. Why did time always fly by so quickly?
"No choice, we'll have to fight like this!" Trunks unsheathed his one-handed sword, facing Dabura.
One fought with punches and kicks, while the other wielded a sword. Both were clearly out of their depth.
Watching the scene, Lin Qi couldn't help but think of Majin Buu when he looked at Dabura.
