"What now?" Jaco was completely at a loss.
"Simple."
Lynx smiled and stepped forward.
"I have an appointment. Let me see Zuno."
"You?"
Zuno's attendant blinked in surprise, then flipped through his notebook."What's your name? I'll check the list."
"Lynx! My Saiyan name is Lynx."
"Lynx? Lynx?"The attendant scanned the list carefully and shook his head."Sorry, you're not—"
Before he could finish, a brilliant golden light erupted.
In the next instant, Lynx had transformed into a Super Saiyan, and without a word, launched a ki blast down the hallway.
"Hah! Don't be foolish. Zuno's planet is protected by his power—you can't harm anything here…"
BOOOOM!The ki wave struck a distant forest, tore through the ground, and punched clean through to the far side of the planet.
The guards and other guests stared, eyes wide, noses running in shock.
"So… did you find my name yet?" Lynx asked calmly.
"Y-Yes! Lynx, right? Please, go right in!"
The guests lining up all quickly moved aside, clearing a path for him.
"Let's go."Lynx didn't even revert to normal, walking down the corridor in his golden-haired form.
Tights started to follow but Jaco stopped her.
"Tights… that's a Super Saiyan?"
"Of course. Pretty cool, right? His hair turns gold now—and he says it'll change to greenish-yellow, red, even blue in the future!"
She gave Jaco a side glance.
"You're not thinking of arresting him for that little 'vandalism,' are you?"
"No, no! We're comrades! Hahaha!" Jaco waved his hands nervously.
Before long, they arrived at a grand hall deep inside the building.
Floating on a saucer-like device was a samurai-looking man—this was the mysterious being known as Zuno-sama.
One of Zuno's attendants was whispering to him, clearly briefing him on the earlier events outside.
As Lynx stepped forward, Zuno scowled.
"So, you're the one who broke the rules and forced your way in?"
"What, got a problem with that?" Lynx asked casually.
Zuno didn't respond, instead gazing straight ahead with a mystical air.
At that moment, another attendant stepped forward.
"Please present your offering!"
Zuno's "offerings" were usually something simple—just a kiss would do.If the visitor was a pretty woman, they might get to ask even more questions.
But Lynx, King of the Saiyans, wasn't about to do something so demeaning.
"Offering? You mean this?" He raised a finger and conjured a Planet Destroyer Bomb—one of Frieza's most devastating techniques.
The massive energy pulsed in his hand, humming with world-ending power.
Zuno, sensing the danger with his own mysterious ability, panicked.
"Th-That's enough! That's enough! You can ask one—no, three—no, ask as many questions as you like!"
"Good."With a flick, Lynx crushed the energy sphere into nothing.
"Now listen closely. My question is: How can I travel to a parallel timeline?"
Zuno cleared his throat and began speaking like a priest chanting scripture:
"There are several ways to travel to a parallel timeline."
"First: the time machine. Technically, there's no such thing as true time travel—using a time machine is really just moving to a parallel world."
"Second: become a Supreme Kai and use their Time Rings. When a divergent timeline forms, green Time Rings appear.Using the correct ring will take you to the corresponding world."
But Lynx quickly interrupted.
"Wait! Zuno, I meant how to reach a specific parallel world."
Apparently, Lynx had phrased his question poorly at first.
"The one I want to reach… there's a legendary Super Saiyan who conquered the Southern Galaxy. I want to know how to get there."
Zuno blinked, then nodded.
"Ah. That timeline… does it involve a legendary Super Saiyan named Broly?"
"You know about that too?" Lynx was shocked.
"Of course. I possess a divine ability akin to prophecy. Anything that exists in this universe—I know it."
"Impressive…"Lynx was genuinely amazed by this comical-looking being.
"So, can you answer my question now?"
"Naturally. There are two ways to reach the timeline you described."
"First, seek out the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa. She oversees all parallel timelines and can observe or enter any one at will."
"However, she exists outside the control of even Zeno, the Omni-King. Unless she summons you herself, no mortal can reach her."
"Then what's the second way?" Lynx asked.
Zuno opened his mouth… and suddenly glitched, his body twitching violently.
The attendants panicked, but Zuno raised a hand to stop them.
"The second way… is to find Taimul-Pes Metal!"
"Taimul-Pes Metal? What's that?" Lynx asked.
"An extremely rare substance, also known as Time Metal. It's what the Supreme Kais' Time Rings are forged from."
"Unfortunately, this metal has long gone extinct in our universe."
"That's fine. I'll just have Shenron create some. Then what?"
"Owning Time Metal is only the first step. Next, it must be brought to a place rich in space-time ki—the Time Metal must be infused with temporal power."
"Where would I find that?" Lynx asked, but Zuno answered before he could finish:
"A black hole is such a place. Throwing the Time Metal into a black hole will charge it."
"That's it?" Lynx frowned. The method sounded dubious.
Zuno nodded.
"Yes. But to be clear, doing this will only open a gate to a random timeline. You won't be able to control which one it connects to."
"However…"Zuno suddenly became very serious.
"My power tells me…If a Saiyan named Lynx performs this method, he will be able to open a portal to the exact timeline he seeks."
