You've disturbed someone!

"Get out of the way!"

Without slowing down, Roland continued flying towards the area where space was shattered. The demon Mansuo looked at him with cold eyes, his surging killing intent seemingly solidified.

"So you actually found a way to leave Purgatory... It turns out you broke through space. I don't know how you did it, but thanks to you, I can finally leave this place. Before that, I might as well kill you first."

"You haven't left, so it seems you can't open the Gate of Purgatory again even while you're in Purgatory."

The demon Mansuo watched indifferently, his killing intent palpable. "No need for words. Considering you've found a way to escape Purgatory, I'll grant you a quick death."

Thank you so much.

Roland looked at the demon Mansuo, slowly raised her hands, and placed her palms towards the demon Mansuo.

Seeing this, Mansuo recalled the strange moves the opponent had used earlier, and his body suddenly paused. It was this pause that gave Roland an opening. A beam of light flashed by like lightning, and Roland rushed towards the broken space with lightning speed, disappearing directly into the turbulent current with a "poof".

Damn it!

Mansuo's face darkened, realizing he had missed a chance to kill his opponent, and he quickly followed Roland inside.

Pfft!

The two of them disappeared into the spatial rift.

Where space shattered, the surrounding space was twisted to the extreme, as sticky as paste. After entering the spatial rift, Roland was caught in the turbulence and quickly realized that he had lost his way. He hurriedly wrapped himself in energy, with the demon Mansuo close behind. The two were only a little over a hundred meters apart, but at this point, they didn't even have time to save their own lives and had long since lost the will to attack each other.

Roland concentrated intently on circulating his internal Vital Energy, and his mind remained relatively clear under the influence of this Vital Energy Circulation.

"We must get out of the spatial turbulence immediately!"

Although he could hold out for a long time even in turbulent waters thanks to the Senzu Bean and his Vital Energy, as a creature that lives on solid ground, this feeling of drifting like a rootless duckweed lacked a sense of security, and no one knew what would happen next.

We must find a way to escape the spatial turbulence.

His body emitted a faint red glow. With the power of the Shenron attached to him, Roland flew away from the spatial turbulence. He didn't know how long he had been drifting in the turbulence when a waterfall-like stream blocked his way.

Roland's eyes suddenly lit up; he could sense familiar spatial fluctuations behind the waterfall.

We're about to be saved.

Without any hesitation, Roland flew towards the huge waterfall. When she got close, she discovered that the waterfall was actually brownish-red, looking as if it had been stained with blood, and it was extremely bloody.

"Never mind, that's the universe I know." Roland only hoped to get out of the spatial turbulence as soon as possible. He glanced back at the demon Mansuo, who was still struggling in the turbulence, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."

Roland has always believed in the principle of ruthless extermination. He would rather kill than let go of any person or thing that poses a threat. After all, he is not a kind person like Goku, who can be so naive as to spare the lives of his enemies on many occasions.

Thinking this, Roland mustered his energy, deciding to deliver a fatal blow to the demon Mansuo before escaping the spatial turbulence. Brilliant light flashed, and Roland raised his fist, unleashing a "Full Sky Blast" towards the demon Mansuo.

Boom!!

The space behind them became even more chaotic, with countless turbulent currents sweeping in like ocean waves, layer upon layer, constantly accumulating. As the turbulence was generated, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the entire vast space was like boiling water, with sharp ripples spreading in every corner.

Seeing this, Roland thought to himself that the demon Mansuo was unlikely to have survived, so he turned around and flew towards the waterfall. With a splash, he passed through a layer of mist and seemed to enter a paradise. The surrounding scenery changed instantly.

The sky was azure, with golden auspicious clouds floating everywhere. The ground was lush and green, covered with tender green grass and colorful flowers. Clusters of refreshing fragrance wafted in the breeze, making one feel relaxed and happy, as if entering a fairyland.

"Where... is this place?"

Roland looked around with curiosity, his consciousness spreading out. He could finally vaguely sense the existence of the Supreme Kai World and the Realm of the God of Destruction, confirming that he had returned to the universe. However, the scenery before him made him unsure of where he was.

Golden auspicious clouds—those must only exist in the Otherworld or the King Kai's Realm...

But looking at the surrounding scenery, it didn't seem like the Otherworld, nor did it seem like the King Kai's Realm. Could it be Other World? Roland wondered to himself as he looked at the colorful scenery around him.

He continued forward, stepping on the soft grass, when suddenly a huge cherry blossom tree caught his attention. The cherry blossom tree was about twenty meters tall, with its branches spreading out and blooming with beautiful pink and white flowers. When a breeze blew, the petals fluttered and danced in the wind.

"What a huge cherry blossom tree..." Roland exclaimed.

Sudden--

A dangerous signal flashed through my mind, and I suddenly became alert. Just then, a burst of energy swept across the sky. With a deafening roar, a dazzling stream of energy swept across the ground, extending for more than 10,000 meters. The lush green grass was instantly blasted into a deep and ferocious explosion zone, and fresh soil was overturned, emitting blue smoke.

Roland looked up and, upon seeing the other person's face clearly, her eyes narrowed sharply.

"Mansuo, you're still alive?!"

The one who attacked Roland was none other than the demon Mansuo. Despite suffering a fatal blow from Roland in the spatial turbulence, he was still alive and had also entered this paradise.

Mansuo's current state is extremely miserable. Of his three heads, only the left one remains, with bloody tears dripping from its eyeballs. Of the three pairs of fleshy wings behind it, only one remains, and its body has been almost halved.

"How can I die before I kill you... Damn it, you've taken two of my lives!!"

The demon Mansuo's face was contorted with rage, and his voice was filled with resentment.

He was born into a peculiar Demon Clan race, possessing three heads and thus three lives. However, in the spatial turbulence just now, Roland's attack directly killed one of his heads, and then the violent spatial storm took away his second life. In the Demon Realm, a mere human would be someone he could easily crush, yet he repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of his opponent, even losing two lives in the process.

With only one life left, he was barely clinging to life and filled with intense hatred for Roland.

Roland could tell from the demon Mansuo's weakened aura that he was in a state of exhaustion, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If it were the demon Mansuo in his prime, even if he had been enhanced in Purgatory, he was not sure if he could defeat him. But now, he was confident.

After thinking it over, Roland assumed an attack stance, and the sound of cracking bones rang out as his body instantly transformed into Super Saiyan form.

Golden flames roared, and the grass beneath his feet, buffeted by the energy, bent over in all directions. In his Super Saiyan form, Roland's energy was approaching 1 billion battle power!

"Human, I will kill you!" the demon Mansuo roared in hatred.

"It's not certain who will kill whom!"

Roland scoffed, her immense power altering the entire sky. A fierce battle quickly ensued, both unleashing their full strength. It was as if two "rising suns" were colliding in the sky, unleashing rings of shockwaves. Even the aftershocks of the collision could easily destroy a planet.

But at that moment—

"You two are disturbing other people's rest."

A loud voice rang out, and Roland felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had been hit hard by a hammer, and a dizzy feeling washed over her.

"Who goes there?!"

Roland was horrified. Then the world changed color, and the energy that the two of them released, enough to destroy a large galaxy, vanished without a trace in an instant, as if it had encountered a black hole.

"How is this possible? A single roar dissipated my energy..." Both Roland and the demon Mansuo were stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. No one knew better than them the energy contained in the attack just now; the energy that could disrupt galaxies had actually been annihilated.

At that moment, a tall and slender figure came into their view.

With its golden, upward-swept hair, emerald green eyes, and a constantly surging aura, Roland was completely stunned when he saw the other person's appearance clearly.
