Chapter 76: Another GT Timeline, and the Controlled Crowd
"This method works too. A temporary alliance might reveal those demon gods in the areas of historical anomalies!" The Elder Kai also deemed this method feasible.
Lin Qi remained indifferent. Apart from clashing with Mechikabura, he cared little about the rest.
If they truly ventured into the Dark Demon Realm, his concern would only be the big boss. As for Trunks and the others' fates...
He would save them if he could, but if not, so be it. Adults must take responsibility for their choices!
"Then I'll leave it to you!" The Elder Kai waved goodbye eagerly. "I'll take care of the Chronoa... Bye!"
"Chron... Chron..."
Lin Qi glanced coldly at Demigra. This guy certainly knew how to endure, though he wasn't a good person by any means.
Unbeknownst to everyone, things were progressing exactly as Lin Qi had predicted. At this very moment, Mechikabura was issuing commands that humiliated Chronoa to the extreme.
Kneel!
Not only that, but he also used the power of darkness to demonize Chronoa, turning her into one of the demon gods while enhancing the powers of the others.
Mechikabura's subordinates' combat strength had once again reached a new level.
Meanwhile
Led by Trunks, the Time Patrol appeared in a ruined city.
As for Demigra's group, they had vanished the moment they arrived, no one knowing where they hid.
Lin Qi had no intention of caring about them. He looked around the ruined buildings and rubble—this was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
He wondered if the past version of himself existed in this timeline.
"This scene is tragic. Which era of Earth is this?" Goten scanned his surroundings and turned to Trunks for answers.
Before Trunks could reply, Goku sensed the energy of a battle not far away. "There's some strong energy clashing over there!"
Vegeta leaped into the air first. The sight that greeted him was Gogeta battling Omega Shenron.
Judging by the scene, there was no doubt this was the GT timeline!
Lin Qi scanned the area and didn't find himself, confirming it wasn't a GT timeline he'd been to before.
"Huh? Isn't that what we look like when we fuse?" Goku joined Vegeta, shielding his eyes with his hand as he looked ahead in awe.
That confident yet unassuming smile—it was unmistakably Gogeta!
"Stay alert... Those demon gods will show up soon!" Lin Qi, for once, kindly warned the carefree Goku.
In the distance, Gogeta delivered a powerful kick, sending Omega Shenron flying into the rubble. Meanwhile, Trunks frowned.
"The battle is intense, but what exactly is the anomaly in the historical timeline? What went wrong?"
Before Trunks could ponder further, a familiar group of people suddenly appeared behind him.
Controlled by the power of darkness, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Mr. Satan, and Pan emerged.
Without a word, they launched an assault on the Time Patrol, their energy blasts causing chaos. Smoke billowed, and debris scattered everywhere.
Lin Qi shrugged as if to say, "Told you so."
"Hm? What's happening on the ground?" Suspended in mid-air, Gogeta paused, looking curiously at the commotion below.
"They're here!" Lin Qi waved away the smoke, glancing at Gogeta in the sky and then behind him.
"Target located. Move out, Fin!" A sinister female voice suddenly rang out.
Behind the unsuspecting Gogeta, a black hole appeared silently, and the experimental subject Fin emerged, throwing a punch at him.
Swish!
Gogeta quickly retreated, dodging the punch. The enemy before him was a strange, short figure wearing black pants.
Its head was covered with hair-like appendages, resembling Medusa from Greek mythology!
Having failed the sneak attack, Fin backflipped swiftly, creating distance between himself and Gogeta.
To Gogeta's surprise, Fin's arms suddenly extended and grabbed both of his hands.
"Hey, hey... What's going on here?" Faced with the new enemy, Gogeta was clearly caught off guard.
"Who are you? How can your arms stretch like that?!"
While Gogeta was bewildered, Trunks below began questioning his reality. He watched as a version of himself reached out toward him.
"Is that... me from this timeline?"
Controlled Trunks gathered energy in his palm, ready to attack the Time Patrol's Trunks.
"Trunks!!" Vegeta tried to intervene but was blocked by none other than the controlled Bulma.
"Tch, damn it!" Confronted with his beloved wife, Vegeta clearly hesitated to strike.
For a moment, everyone was at a disadvantage!
Others were equally preoccupied. Goku and Gohan found themselves facing a ferocious Chi-Chi and Pan.
Meanwhile, Patrol Goten and Controlled Goten were already trading blows.
Trunks gritted his teeth, evading attacks relentlessly. Of everyone present, only Lin Qi seemed to have the leisure to observe the scene.
"This timeline's versions of you are all under control!" His gaze swept the area until it landed on two figures atop a pile of rubble.
"Towa... Dabura!"
Towa, holding her staff, wore a sinister smile, accompanied by Dabura wielding a massive three-meter-long sword.
"As I thought, I sensed dark energy earlier..." Trunks continued dodging the controlled Trunks' energy blasts. Turning his head, he followed Lin Qi's gaze. "Have these guys escaped too?"
"The Dark Empire Army!" Hiding in the shadows, Demigra narrowed his eyes. He turned to Robelu and Chamel standing behind him.
"We'll wait and observe for now, then act at the right moment!"
Trunks shouted in frustration, questioning aloud, "How did you escape? Where's the Supreme Kai of Time? Did you do something to her?"
"Heh heh..." Towa responded with a sultry smile. "Don't worry. The Supreme Kai of Time is better than ever!"
"Damn it..." Trunks gritted his teeth. Who would believe that nonsense?
"Although we planned to avoid drawing your attention," Towa glanced subtly at Lin Qi before speaking indifferently.
"If you insist on interfering..."
Dabura took over, raising his massive sword and looking disdainfully at the Time Patrol below. "It's a good chance to test my new strength..."
At this moment, Vegeta had closed his eyes and knocked Bulma unconscious, placing her gently aside.
Goku followed suit, carrying an unconscious Chi-Chi to Vegeta's side. Gohan also carried Pan, placing her beside Chi-Chi and Bulma.
