When Luo Chuan stepped into the Nest of Time, he immediately saw Time Patrol Son Goku and Vegeta surrounding Gogeta, peppering him with questions from every side. Gogeta stood in the middle at a complete loss, as if he had no idea how to answer, looking truly rather wretched.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Luo Chuan strode over and shouted.
At the sound of his voice, everyone turned around, their gazes landing on Luo Chuan all at once. Gogeta looked as if he had seen his savior, and an ecstatic expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Big Brother, you're finally back! Hurry and help me explain. These guys have been asking so many questions my head's about to burst. I really can't handle them!" Gogeta said as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.
Seeing Gogeta look so anxious and helpless, Luo Chuan could not help finding it funny, but at the same time, he was full of curiosity. "What exactly needs explaining? Why are you all so worked up?"
At that moment, Gogeta hurriedly said, "Oh, Big Brother, here's the thing. They're all really curious why you have such powerful strength, and also what was going on with that sacred aura you erupted with before. So they've been hounding me with questions nonstop!"
After saying that, he let out a long breath, as though he had finally set down the weight on his shoulders.
"So that's what you want to know!"
Luo Chuan rubbed his chin and sized up Gogeta and the members of the Time Patrol, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
For some reason, Gogeta and the members of the Time Patrol suddenly felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
He did not answer Gogeta's question. Instead, he turned and walked toward the Supreme Kai of Time.
"Lady Chronoa, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?"
Chronoa looked at Luo Chuan with some curiosity.
Luo Chuan whispered a few words by her ear.
"All right. I'll see if I can make it."
Chronoa answered, then turned and left.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, you still haven't answered."
Gogeta looked at Luo Chuan with shining eyes. He also wanted to know why Big Brother's strength could be so great.
"No rush, no rush. Since you all want to know why I'm so strong, I'll personally teach you in a little while."
Gogeta, Time Patrol Son Goku, and Vegeta's eyes lit up. Trunks, Gohan, and Goten were also looking forward to it.
About two hours later, Chronoa returned. She took out a scroll and spread it open.
"Thank goodness, it worked. There's a separate space inside this. The time flow in there is one to one—one day inside is one hour outside."
Luo Chuan cupped his fists and said thanks.
Then he turned to everyone and said, "Come on, everyone, follow me in. I'll personally teach you all how to become stronger."
He bit down especially hard on the words "personally teach."
Gogeta and the others entered the separate space one by one. Luo Chuan grinned. He was going to put these people through hellish training and make them as strong as possible.
As Luo Chuan entered, the opening slowly closed.
"Sigh. Three seconds of silence for you all."
Chronoa sighed. When Luo Chuan had told her he wanted to create a separate space with a different time flow, she had known what he was thinking.
She felt these people were simply asking for suffering. It was only natural that someone chosen by the Grand Minister would be this strong. After all, that was Ultra Instinct.
Although she had fallen unconscious in the Dark Demon Realm, when she returned and heard Goku and the others questioning Gogeta, she had guessed it.
Chronoa shook her head and went to tidy up the Time Scrolls on the table.
Time slowly passed, and she finally finished organizing them. Just as Chronoa was preparing to leave, a scroll suddenly fell out of the cabinet on the wall.
"Another problem?"
Chronoa went forward to check, picked up the scroll, and placed it on the table. When she spread it open, an image appeared—a twisted history.
"Trouble has shown up again. I'll have to let them out."
With that thought, she opened the entrance to the separate space and walked in. After a few dozen seconds, a group of people walked out.
Gogeta, Time Patrol Son Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, and the others were covered in injuries. They looked utterly miserable, but thanks to that, they had all gained new insights, and they had indeed become much stronger.
The time they had spent inside was only a little over a day, but although that did not sound long, to them it had felt as endless as several centuries. The main reason was that Luo Chuan's teaching had been far too strict, though the results were quite good.
After eating Senzu Beans and taking showers, every one of them was full of energy.
Luo Chuan and Gogeta headed to this twisted history. As for the others, they went to carry out other missions. After all, the Time Patrol had many things to do.
On Earth in a parallel time-space, beside a surging sea, a steep and dangerous cliff towered high.
On the stone wall of the cliff, there was a cave entrance weathered mottled by the years, faintly flickering with a weak and mysterious light.
Inside the cave, a tall woman with a unique air stood there quietly.
Her shoulder-length brown hair was slightly messy, yet it gave off a different kind of charm. Behind her black-rimmed glasses, a pair of lively large eyes flashed with the light of intelligence. A pair of exaggerated earrings hung from her ears, swaying gently with her movements. She wore a snow-white lab coat, adding an even greater sense of professionalism and mystery.
At this moment, the woman's gaze was fixed tightly on the huge vessel in front of her.
Inside the vessel, a man slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the man wake, the woman's face unconsciously blossomed into a brilliant smile, and her crisp, pleasant laughter rang out like silver bells, echoing throughout the entire cave.
The woman walked lightly to the table and pressed a switch. With a faint sound of machinery operating, the vessel's door slowly opened, and the thick liquid inside began to gush out.
Then the woman casually grabbed a piece of clothing from nearby and tossed it to the man who had just emerged from the vessel. The man caught it nimbly, quickly dressed himself, then respectfully dropped to one knee and performed a standard salute to the woman.
"It finally succeeded!"
The woman let out a long breath and said with emotion, "To complete this experiment, I spent endless time and effort traveling between different timelines to collect the genetic codes of those two people. Modifying their genes was also an extremely difficult and tedious task, but fortunately, none of that effort was wasted."
Just then, however, a rapid, ear-piercing alarm rang throughout the entire cavern. The alarm was not aimed at warriors from this timeline, but was specifically used to warn of uninvited guests from other timelines.
"The Time Patrol found this place so quickly. But that's fine. After all, I've already succeeded, so I'll let you see my masterpiece."
"Get up. Come with me. Let's go meet the Time Patrol."
After the woman said that, she turned and left, while the man rose and followed behind her.
Outside the cave entrance on the cliff.
"Big Brother, I can sense an energy that feels both familiar and unfamiliar."
Gogeta frowned slightly.
Luo Chuan stroked his chin. Just as Gogeta had said, this energy really was quite familiar.
"They're here!"
The two fixed their eyes ahead and saw a woman and a man walk out from inside.
When Luo Chuan saw the woman, his brows lifted and he blurted out, "Android 21!"
That was right. This woman was none other than the mysterious scientist, Android 21.
Luo Chuan remembered that in his previous life, he had read an introduction about this character. It seemed to say she was Dr. Gero's partner. Whether that was true or not, he had no idea, but he would rather believe it was false.
"Oh! You know me? I remember there wasn't anyone like you in the Time Patrol."
Android 21 looked Luo Chuan over. He really was quite handsome. She usually remembered people this good-looking.
"Big Brother, that person beside her couldn't be Vegito, could he?"
Gogeta asked.
Luo Chuan shifted his gaze to the man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded.
Yes, what Android 21 had created was indeed Vegito, except he was a clone who obeyed her completely.
"So it really is him."
At first, he had thought he had seen wrong. He had not expected it to actually be Vegito. He just could not understand how this woman had managed to clone Vegito.
"You're very good experimental subjects. Vegito, go destroy them."
Android 21 gave the order.
Clone Vegito nodded and charged straight at the two of them.
"Big Brother, leave him to me. I want to see how strong this clone is."
Gogeta rushed out, and the two instantly clashed.
