Returning to Earth
West City.
In the backyard of the Capsule Corporation's luxurious estate.
Right in front of Whis, space suddenly rippled. Immediately afterward, a space-time tunnel took shape, and Lin Chuan emerged from within.
Seeing Lin Chuan return, Whis asked with a smile, "Is everything alright? The Grand Priest summoned you this time. It must have been to discuss some very important matters with you."
"It's nothing particularly special. I simply received a reward for defeating an Angel and was given a commission to eliminate the parasite from another timeline." Lin Chuan did not conceal anything about Fu and revealed the Grand Priest's entire commission, only leaving out the unknown entity.
"I see. Then, when are you planning to set out?" Whis asked with concern.
"There's no need to rush for now. After all, this journey through space-time isn't simple and involves some unknown threats, so the Grand Priest has allowed me to bring an Angel along." Lin Chuan replied.
Hearing this, Whis understood the seriousness of the situation.
Even someone as powerful as Lin Chuan needed an Angel's assistance. One could imagine just how dangerous this journey would be.
"I see. If my guess is correct, the one you've chosen should be Sister Vados..." Whis smiled, having already guessed whom Lin Chuan would choose.
"Mm." Lin Chuan did not deny it.
Just then, another space-time tunnel appeared, and a figure emerged from within.
It was none other than Vados.
After receiving the Grand Priest's instructions just moments ago, she had been both surprised and delighted, then immediately set off to come here.
"We meet again, little Lin Chuan. I didn't expect this day to arrive so suddenly. Since you've chosen me as your accompanying Angel, your big sister will take good care of you." Vados smiled gently, her eyes filled with Lin Chuan, her tone brimming with teasing.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, genuinely unsure how to respond.
Anyone who didn't know the circumstances would probably mistake them for a couple flirting with each other.
Lin Chuan had grown accustomed to it.
"You're here so early. What will happen to Champa now that you're gone?" Lin Chuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Vados replied quite casually, "Don't worry. Even without me, another Angel will be stationed in Universe 6. Even if there isn't a suitable Angel, there are still quite a few trainee Angels among the twelve universes who can take up the position."
"I see. It seems my understanding of this world is still far from sufficient." Beyond the twelve Angels, there really were other Angels. And aside from Merus, there was definitely more than one trainee Angel.
"I vaguely remember that in a certain timeline, there was a trainee Angel who had a good relationship with Sister Vados. His name was Luo Tian, wasn't it?" Whis said with a smile.
Vados nodded slightly. "That's right. Although he isn't from our timeline, he happened to get in touch with the Grand Priest and was permitted to come to our world to provide assistance."
The two of them continued talking back and forth, leaving Lin Chuan somewhat bewildered.
However, he didn't mind anymore. After all, his most important task now was to discuss their departure time and their plans with Vados.
As time passed little by little.
Their discussion came to an end.
Lin Chuan and Vados also settled on their departure date, which was one week later.
The reason they decided to leave a week later was naturally that Lin Chuan wanted to spend some more time with his family during this period. After all, the flow of time differed in every space-time world, and he couldn't even be certain how long it would be before he returned next time.
Furthermore, before leaving his main world, he needed to inform his family of the situation and ensure they wouldn't worry.
...
And so, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week passed. In the backyard of the Capsule Corporation's luxurious estate.
Angel Vados had not left the entire time. She was now waiting for Lin Chuan to finish giving his final instructions and saying his goodbyes.
"Are you ready?" Vados asked when she saw Lin Chuan approaching.
"Mm, we can set out now. The sooner we deal with those little troubles, the sooner we can return." Lin Chuan nodded.
After receiving his affirmative answer, Vados nodded with a cheerful smile.
The next second, she exchanged a glance with the God of Destruction Beerus and Angel Whis, who were also present. Without hesitation, she swept her right arm, and powerful Law of Space-Time Power surged from her Angel Staff, forming a space-time tunnel before the two of them.
After taking one last look at his family, Lin Chuan entered the space-time tunnel with a smile, and Vados followed closely behind.
Once the two had entered, the space-time tunnel quickly closed and disappeared without a trace.
Their departure was immediately noticed by the warriors on Earth.
This time, Lin Chuan hadn't even told Piccolo and the others about the matter, only giving his family a rough explanation.
Therefore, no one knew the specifics.
The first to react was naturally Vegeta, who was Lin Chuan's neighbor and also lived in another corner of West City.
Vegeta, who had just finished a round of training and was resting, suddenly sensed Talos's aura disappear from Earth.
This caused him to furrow his brows involuntarily, feeling curious.
A week ago, he had already sensed Angel Vados's aura. Although he didn't know why she had appeared on Earth, combining that with the disappearance of Lin Chuan and Angel Vados's auras, Vegeta guessed what might have happened.
"Has he started another journey through space-time, Talos?" Vegeta muttered to himself.
Recalling how Lin Chuan had returned from another space-time world last time with not only a massive increase in strength but also the ability to use Super Saiyan Demon, a dark transformation, Vegeta felt increasingly unwilling to accept it.
Every time Lin Chuan left and returned, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
He could imagine that by the time Lin Chuan returned this time, his strength would once again reach an unimaginable level.
To avoid being left too far behind, all he could do was train relentlessly during the period Lin Chuan was away.
Just as Vegeta was about to throw himself back into training, his body suddenly froze, and he abruptly raised his head to look at the sky.
Vegeta's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Without a doubt, he had sensed a very unusual aura approaching Earth.
This unusual aura gave him a very peculiar feeling.
It resembled an Angel, yet wasn't entirely an Angel.
"That guy Talos just left, and now some unknown existence is coming to Earth? Interesting. I want to see exactly who the owner of this unusual aura is?!" Vegeta sneered coldly. After leaving the gravity training room, he slowly rose into the air.
Based on the direction of the aura, he calculated approximately where it would arrive, then released his Ki and flew toward the target location.
...
At the Lookout.
At this moment, Piccolo was fully focused on comprehending the mysteries of Dragon God Power.
Although his mastery of Dragon God Fourth Stage had become more proficient recently, he had still made no substantive breakthroughs.
