Chapter 81: Save Chronoa, Let's Take Action
"Then let Trunks have it!" Son Gohan quickly made a recommendation. "After all, he is the captain of the Patrol Squad!"
"Hmph..." Vegeta crossed his arms and let out a soft snort but didn't voice any objections.
"I don't care!" Son Goku, completely indifferent, didn't even understand what the others were discussing.
Something about light and darkness... It didn't seem to have much to do with being strong anyway!
"I agree with Trunks too!" Son Goten raised his hand high in agreement.
"Trunks, you're amazing!" Pan, surprisingly well-behaved this time, refrained from causing a scene.
Demigra wanted to speak but closed his mouth under Lin Qi's murderous gaze every time he tried.
"Summon Shenron!" Lin Qi glanced at Trunks. He wasn't interested in Shenron at all.
He was more concerned about whether Demigra might suddenly turn on them. Fortunately, Demigra seemed to understand the situation.
As the Dragon Balls disappeared, everything unfolded according to Lin Qi's plan.
"For the final command, Demigra, use the power of darkness to enhance everyone's strength!" Lin Qi absentmindedly rubbed his fingers as he coldly issued the order.
"...Fine!" Demigra's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth so hard they creaked.
He didn't even have a chance of winning, not against Lin Qi, let alone against the Dark King Mechikabura.
After Lin Qi had unlocked the Ultra Instinct state, Demigra didn't even dare to make a sound.
Seeing Demigra behaving obediently, Lin Qi was very satisfied. "Good. Chamel, take everyone to the Dark Demon Realm!"
This way, even if he couldn't counter Mechikabura's magic, the others would still have enough ability to protect themselves.
"Understood..." Demigra nodded toward the questioning Chamel. He had underestimated the Time Patrol Squad.
Who would've thought there was an angel hidden among them? No wonder they usually stayed quiet, yet when they acted, they eliminated numerous Demon Gods.
Had "that one" also noticed his little schemes and lifted the restrictions on the angels?
Lin Qi didn't care about Demigra's wild guesses. The story had dragged on long enough...
It was time for the final boss to make an appearance and for the last battle to begin!
Demigra, along with three others and the Time Patrol Squad, reappeared on a grassy field not far from the core of the Dark Demon Realm.
"Huh... Is that towering tree-like thing the Great Demon King's lair?" Pan quickly noticed the towering structure at the core.
It was her first time seeing it. It was both grand and ugly.
"Impressive... Magic kid!" Son Gohan removed his glasses and tucked them into the pocket on his chest, offering a compliment.
Son Goku was already raring to go, rubbing his hands together in excitement. "Let's move already!"
"A barrier has appeared, huh?" Robelu squinted at the massive shield surrounding the core.
Lin Qi glanced at it indifferently. A mere barrier? It seemed like it was because he had eliminated so many Demon Gods earlier...
Otherwise, there should've been a boundary set by Mechikabura, followed by the need to break seven "doors" to enter the core of the Dark Demon Realm.
"It seems the enemy is on guard against us!" Vegeta crossed his arms, his gaze coldly fixed on the massive barrier.
"This feels terrifying..." Son Goten looked at his hands. He hadn't even reached Super Saiyan 4 like his brother.
"To think we've already reached the point of confronting the Demon Gods directly!"
Demigra cast a disdainful glance at Son Goten, then said to Trunks, "Take out that thing!"
"What thing?" Trunks looked at Demigra in confusion.
"Hmph, use your power of light to forge the Key Sword!" Demigra's forehead twitched visibly with veins.
"A sword specifically for sealing the Dark Demon Realm..."
"Oh..." Trunks closed his eyes, slowly reaching for the single-handed sword on his back.
As he grasped it, the sword underwent a dramatic transformation, taking on the appearance of clockwork gears.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Trunks was greatly surprised. Was this the Key Sword?
"We'll rely on your light power later!" Demigra stared at the sword, a complex expression flashing across his face.
"This sword can break the barrier. Go on!"
"The great battle... is about to begin!" Chamel tightened his grip on the staff in his hand, his face solemn as he looked toward the Dark Core.
"Alright..." Trunks took hold of the Key Sword. At that moment, everyone's movements froze, their expressions frozen in time as well.
"Ugh..." Lin Qi struggled to lift his head and looked upward. Above him floated Chronoa, both hands outstretched toward them.
She was the Supreme Kai of Time, controlled by the Dark King.
"Supreme Kai..." Trunks, holding the Key Sword, raised his head and shouted, "It's me, Trunks!!"
Lin Qi observed that Trunks could still move. It seemed to be due to the sword in his hand.
"Time hasn't been frozen?" Chronoa, like a puppet controlled by strings, spoke coldly and expressionlessly.
"Is it because of that sword? It seems I must release more dark power..."
As Chronoa spoke, a pointer-like energy formed in her palm and shot toward Trunks on the ground.
"Time Pointer!"
Lin Qi frowned as he struggled against the frozen time. Even though he could move, it was agonizingly slow.
"This cursed magic!!"
Trunks was struck by Chronoa's energy on the arm holding the sword, but he didn't let go. Instead, his expression grew strange.
He saw scenes of the Supreme Kai of Time being forced to kneel in the Time Labyrinth by Mechikabura...
And moments when she was controlled by Towa's dark power...
Lin Qi watched Trunks' expression shift, the rage within him growing increasingly intense.
"Damn it... Aaaah... Unforgivable!!!"
Tears welled up in Trunks' eyes as he felt the Supreme Kai of Time's anger and humiliation when she was forced to kneel and controlled.
With a furious cry, he swung the Key Sword in his hand and leaped toward the sky.
"Mechikabura..."
"Disappear, eternal darkness!! Key Sword!!"
Trunks' hair instantly extended to his waist as a torrent of energy and crackling lightning surrounded him.
Super Saiyan 3, Trunks!
Like an arrow shot from a bow, he rushed toward the Supreme Kai of Time in the air, wielding the Key Sword and thrusting it toward Chronoa.
Countless streams of light power swirled around Trunks as he charged toward Chronoa.
