Salama clasped his hands behind his back, turned toward the throne, and fell into deep thought.
Rayden, Broly, and Cell exchanged wary glances. Seeing Long Yi and Long Er fired up, and Salama so lost in thought, gave them all an ominous feeling. If Long Yi and his men really left the Dragon God Realm… a war could very well erupt.
Meanwhile, Trunks and Son Goten were blissfully unaware of the tension. They ran around the palace, marveling at its majestic architecture and luxurious design.
Three minutes later…
Salama finally snapped out of his thoughts and turned to face Rayden and the others.
"Long Yi, Long Er," he said with authority, "you two may leave the Dragon God Realm temporarily. However, listen closely—no large-scale fighting is allowed. You're only there to give a warning."
"Yes, sir!"
Long Yi and Long Er replied in unison.
With a brief nod to each other, they raised their hands into the air. Instantly, two golden spears with intricate dragon designs appeared in their grasp.
The spears were majestic: the heads shaped like dragon heads, the tips like dragon tongues, the shafts scaly like a dragon's body, and the bases resembling dragon tails. Each spear gleamed with a powerful golden light—radiating awe and dominance.
Rayden let out a sigh. He honestly hadn't expected Salama to allow them to leave the realm.
Cell slapped him on the shoulder with a grin. "Rayden, don't stress. It's not our problem. We just get to watch the show."
Rayden chuckled and nodded. "Alright then. Salama, we'll head back and start dealing with that Zamasu nuisance."
"Go on," Salama said, waving them off and turning back toward his throne.
Rayden then turned toward the far end of the room. "Trunks! Goten! Time to go!"
"We're coming!" the boys shouted as they rushed over, still buzzing with excitement.
"Wow!" Goten gasped, eyes wide. "Uncle, your weapon is so cool!"
"Yeah! Can I have one just like yours?" Trunks asked eagerly.
Long Yi chuckled and nodded. He hadn't forgotten the promise he made earlier. With a flick of his wrist, two golden balls of light materialized midair, blinding everyone momentarily with their brilliance.
When the light faded, two miniature versions of the dragon-patterned spears hovered before the boys.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Trunks and Goten bowed politely, then snatched up their new weapons and began swinging them around with joy.
"Alright, that's enough!" Rayden said, waving his hand. A dimensional wall shimmered to life in front of them.
After bidding farewell to Salama, Rayden and his group entered the portal. Long Yi and Long Er followed closely behind.

Seventh Universe – Earth
Rayden, Broly, Cell, Long Yi, Long Er, Trunks, and Goten emerged on the balcony of Bulma's house.
Sensing Rayden's energy, Goku and the others stopped what they were doing and turned toward the group.
"Long Yi? What are you doing here?!" Goku called out in surprise.
Everyone rushed over to greet the newcomers warmly. Gohan, however, looked anxious. He knew how powerful Long Yi was. Even if he and the rest of the Z Fighters teamed up, they probably wouldn't survive one move against him.
Why would someone like him leave the Dragon God Realm?
Yamcha sprinted in from the side and threw his arm around Long Yi's shoulder. "Dude! You look amazing!"
Before Long Yi could respond, Piccolo appeared in a blur, grabbed Yamcha, and pulled him back. "Idiot, watch yourself!"
Yamcha broke into a cold sweat. "R-right…"
Krillin and the others stood in stunned silence. They had only been curious earlier—wondering what Dragon God Realm warriors looked like. But they never imagined they'd meet them face to face this quickly.
Gohan's attention shifted to the spears in Trunks and Goten's hands.
"Goten, where did you get that? You didn't steal it from the Dragon God Realm, did you?"
"No, Brother!" Goten said with a pout. "This uncle gave it to us!"
Trunks nodded proudly. "Yeah! Goten's telling the truth!"
Gohan still looked skeptical until Rayden chimed in. "Relax, Gohan. It was a gift from Long Yi."
Hearing that, Gohan said nothing further. He knew Uncle Rayden would never lie.
As everyone gathered to discuss their next move—
Swish! Swish!
Old Supreme Kai, Supreme Kai Shin, and Jebit suddenly teleported into the scene.
"Old Supreme Kai!" Goku and the others greeted him respectfully.
Rayden nodded toward them. "Old Supreme Kai, what brings you here?"
Before the old Kai could answer, he pointed toward Long Yi and Long Er. "Rayden, who are these two? I can sense incredibly pure divine energy from both of them. They're far stronger than any deity I've encountered."
Long Er narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Old man, stop asking questions. Go to Zeno's Palace and tell that little brat to gather all the gods from the twelve universes and the Realm of Time."
His tone was harsh. He clearly had no patience for what he considered the incompetence of Zeno's underlings.
"How dare you speak like that to the Old Supreme Kai and Lord Zeno!" Jebit shouted, stepping forward with clenched fists.
Before he could take action, Goku quickly pulled him back. "Don't! You'll die!"
Rayden stepped in and calmly explained, "These two are from the Dragon God Realm. They're here on official business. If we don't notify Zeno soon, a serious war could break out."
Still skeptical, the Old Supreme Kai folded his arms.
Cell added, "Listen, an alternate Supreme Kai named Zamasu has been traveling through timelines and abusing the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies—with me and Broly. These two tracked his actions. If we don't act fast, things could spiral out of control."
"An alternate Supreme Kai did that?" Shin and Jebit looked stunned.
Rayden glanced at Long Er, who looked ready to explode with impatience. "Please, Old Supreme Kai. We're not lying. Go inform Zeno. I'll bring Long Yi and Long Er there shortly."
The Old Supreme Kai finally nodded. "Alright. Things are more serious than I thought."
"Kai! Kai!" Supreme Kai Shin used Instant Transmission and vanished with the Old Supreme Kai and Jebit.
Rayden stayed behind to explain everything about Zamasu to Goku and the others.

Zeno Palace
As the Old Supreme Kai, Supreme Kai Shin, and Jebit arrived at Zeno's palace, they saw two figures standing near the entrance.
One was Whis, the angel of Universe 7. The other looked remarkably similar—tall with slicked-back white hair, blue skin, and a serene yet commanding presence. A glowing blue halo hovered behind his head, and a sash with the kanji for "Great" (大) was tied around his waist.
Whis was speaking to the other angel respectfully.
Sensing new arrivals, both turned their heads.
"Old Supreme Kai?" Whis raised an eyebrow. "Is something wrong? Did Lord Beerus destroy another planet?"
The old Kai hurried forward, dragging Shin and Jebit with him. Without hesitation, they knelt and bowed.
"Grand Priest!" they said in unison.
The Grand Priest smiled gently and gestured. "Rise, all of you."
They stood slowly, knowing that what came next could shake the entire multiverse.
